[EVO 4G Android Development] TheSunTheSea:
It says "HBOOT-0.76.2000 (PC3610000)"

above that says "SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 ENG S-OFF"

I tried restoring a nand backup. It said the restore was successful then in the RECOVERY screen I chose "reboot system now" but I'm back at the Fastbook screen.

Unfortunately, the only ROM zip I have on this SD card is the pc36img.zip file located in my Root. I already tried installing it. Seems like a script ran for a second then it takes me back to the RECOVERY screen. Tried rebooting but took me back to the Fastboot screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jelive:
OK it "looks like" you are still rooted. Have you pulled the battery yet...don't do yet just let me know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheSunTheSea:
Yes. I tried to pull the battery out earlier today. I also tried to pull the battery and SD card. That didn't work either :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] jelive:
OK you should not be hosed yet since you kept custom recovery even after pulling battery, etc...pull battery and sd card. Download a "rooted" rom and install it to root of your sd card manually. You will need a micro sd card adapter and sd card reader to do this. Put card and battery back in and go to recovery, wipe-reset x2, wipe dalvik x2, then go to load zip and load the rom you put on the card manually. This should allow you to reboot and start process from scratch.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheSunTheSea:
Thanks. I don't have a sd card reader so I'll have to go out and get one.

At this point of the process, is there any way to get back to the HTC Sense factory build? I just want use of my phone again and try rooting it later. Or is it too late?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jelive:
You are still rooted. Download this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=743352 and put on sd card. You should still have the radios if you were already on 2.2 so you don't need to load again. Should be good to go...make sure after you put sd card and battery back in and go to recovery you wipe-reset 2X and wipe cache 2X before you go load ROM zip. Good luck...let us know how it goes.

After you're up and running go back into recovery and make a backup...that way you'll have something to fall back on if things go ugly again in the future.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheSunTheSea:
Hmm, I haven't tried yet. Sounds like I need to run that in the command prompt. I'll give it a shot. If that doesn't work I'll have to get an sd card reader as was suggested earlier
[EVO 4G Android Development] jelive:
Don't push it...you've probably lucked out and can avoid a crisis...leave it alone and do as suggested with the SD Card. Your PCIMG36 could be incomplete-corrupted and pushing it with adb will not likely give you a different result. It's just another way of doing the same thing you tried multiple times.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheSunTheSea:
I got it resolved. I followed jelive's steps and installed from a zip on my sdcard. Instead of putting the HTC Sense image I just put Cyanogenmod 6.0 and installed. Pretty cool mod. I'm sure there are a lot of mod options out there I can play with.

Thanks to all for the help. Not sure why I got stuck in Fastboot mode but the moral of the story is that I was never bricked. I was rooted but my poor phone didn't have a ROM to boot off of, that's all
[EVO 4G Android Development] robmiller:
After doing this do you still have 3 skateboarders on hboot screen? I cant remember if that is stock or not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ducky1131:
confirmed

Just wanted to say this worked for me. Thanks to everyone involved putting it out. Had to go to Sprint store with speaker issue, ended up getting the speaker replaced. I was fully rooted with Cm 6 and Kingz kernel. Got it back that way now, too.

Is there anyway to restore straight to 2.1 so I can unlock w/ toasts method and get the .76 eng hboot as revoked gives you .93 and then going to .76 afterward has given me issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DRatJr:
It does not say revolutionary in bootloader.

---------- Post added at 01:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

Everything said ok but bootloader was bypassed. Is it still unrooted and good to go or what?
[EVO 4G Android Development] VaporCloud:
Is this to me? I'm about to go to sprint with an EVO with HTC and FOUR !'s in the corners. WHen you plug it into a computer it says "RUU" and on top it says "S-OFF" are they going to know it was rooted because it says S-OFF? ( i know i should have used the S-on patch before using an RUU, Followed a bunk guide and thats what i got, Found this only after half bricking my phone)

Tech support said i needed a replacement ;-)

Will ADB Connect when its stuck on RUU? (Sometimes it says RUU update failed! but then goes back to RUU and doesnt let me into any other recovery menus). Thanks alot! Hopefully this thing isnt a paperweight
[EVO 4G Android Development] ghearn18:
Ok everything works besides me having two problems... I charge to 100% and now i don't even get 3 hours out of it with no usage at all when before when i was on stock unrooted I at least got like 8 hours with moderate to heavy usage. Also I cannot get the market to update for anything... deleted cache... it will not let me delete market data... wait for the auto update 15 20 or 30 mins... i turn it off battery pull and try again still nothing old market (green half circle)
[EVO 4G Android Development] supdawg:
Ok... Been at this for a bit. Having some issues with my power button. I rooted via unrevoked. Tried using the unrevoked s-on tool and it said my radio was not supported. Tried to install stock RUU rom and it gave me an error as well. Any ideas? Been looking for about 30 minutes now. Any help would be appreciated!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
To use unrevoked S-ON, you need to flash radio 2.15.00.11.19 or previous. There's a thread around that has flashable radios in it. Once you downgrade your radio, the zip should work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] buckhunter:
Radios thread is here

In the Op
[EVO 4G Android Development] supdawg:
Thanks.. Downgraded radio, got S-on back. Now trying to install stock rom, but I keep getting error running RUU.. :confused:

Just need to get a stock rom back on this thing so I can take it to sprint for repair.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Rather than running the RUU, have you tried just taking the PC36IMG.zip for the stock ROM and flashing it through the Bootloader?
[EVO 4G Android Development] buckhunter:
Theres alot of info and downloads here
[EVO 4G Android Development] supdawg:
Could you kindly point me to one? The link to one in the OP is broken.

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

This link got me working.. Thanks!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] buckhunter:
Yw. Glad to help. That thread has alot of good info.
[EVO 4G Android Development] supdawg:
I just got back from the Sprint store... Of course, they couldn't duplicate my issue... RAGEEEEEEEEEEE

My power button is working fine at the moment. Could software be the culprit after all?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cypriot00:
I tried doing the same, but it won't flash the radio. It says successful and all, but when I go back to HBOOT the radio numbers have not changed and s-on errors out.

Any suggestions? I did try the 11.19 version
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Perhaps try an older version, or one from a different thread, that flashes via the Bootloader?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fceeviper:
Where can I locate/download a stock rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I posted links to the latest one here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17206283#post17206283
[EVO 4G Android Development] fceeviper:
Thank you.

So I went throug all the steps, but I think I am still rooted. I just tried Titanium Backup and it still worked. :confused:

When I start Hboot, it states S-On.

So did I do something wrong, or did I miss a step?

Edit, I think I got it now, I just installed the RUU in your post and now titanium doesn't work anymore. Thanks all!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
If you ran the RUU from the link I posted, or the PC36IMG, there's no way you should be rooted, unless you didn't wipe fully first (even though I'm not even sure that would matter, with a stock, unrooted ROM).

updater

Hi Im having an issue with my EVO, I had it rooted and it seemed that I couldnt receive calls from certain of my contacts even from my house phone but I would receive them from my job, so I used this unroot link and it worked but the android platform is still 2.2 is there a link for a Stock Rom that has 2.3 on it? And also is there a reason why I wouldnt be receiving calls from certain phones?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nuxbag:
when I run the s on zip it says update fail, unspported radio ,error in sd card/unrevoked forever son.zip my hboot is 2.16
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
If your HBOOT is 2.16, then the unrevoked S-ON will not work for you. You need the Gingerbread unroot method, which can be found easily by searching (if you use the Google search option at the top of the page).
[EVO 4G Android Development] nuxbag:
I used unrevoked forever to get s off, but I just used this to get gb PC36IMG_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.24.651.1_Radio_ 2.15.00.05.02_NV_2.15_release_199233_signed

what hboot will work can i change only the hboot
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
So you are S-OFF, and HBOOT 2.16, and you want to be S-ON, correct?

Since you have 2.16 HBOOT, you will not be able to downgrade/change HBOOT. However, if you flash the modded HBOOT (6.17) that appears in the Gingerbread unroot threads, that might get you S-ON. Then you can just flash a stock, unrooted PC36IMG (like the one you mentioned), and that should unroot you, along with having S-ON.

I'm not positive that'll work, but it's worth a shot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] squirmingnoodle:
i have hboot 6.17 with s on but the phone wont let me install a PC36IMG.zip in hboot it says checking then it just goes back to the main menu with no error. how do I unroot?

If it won't let you install a PC36IMG.zip, how did you get HBOOT 6.17?

Hboot 2.10.0001

Radio 2.15.00.09.01

I flashed the pcm file and its a stock Rom but s off is still there. Also I.can't get into bootloader since the Rom is basically stock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] webfeind:
Hboot 6.17 is from the revolutionary GB root method. This means that they already have S-Off and should have the CWM Revolutionary recovery and should flash their Rom of choice from there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
You should be able to flash the stock Gingerbread RUU and that should unroot and NAND lock your device. Is there some reason it doesn't update?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sah0724:
I'm guessing I don't have the newest ruu. I ran a new hboot and now my hboot is 6.17 so i will look for a new ruu.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sah0724:
I don't know why it doesn't update I just hit check for updates and so far no luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
That doesn't usually work if you're NAND unlocked & rooted. I posted a link to the newest RUU in this thread a page or two ago.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 916homie:
I flashed your stock 36img from the other thread that you posted it in and I have stock every thing but still s-off if I wanted to have root agian would I just flash a recovery then a new Rom

Edit- I have hboot 2.16
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
If you're still S-OFF, then yes, you can flash a custom Recovery, and then flash a custom ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 916homie:
Kool let's hope Sprint don't check for s-off I need the speaker repaired and camera lens
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
You can still get S-ON, if you need to (at least you should be able to - it's been done by others).

PCIMG36 not working

hey everyone,

im having some troubles unrooting my phone! ive managed to turn s-on and i have put the PCIMG36.zip file on the root of my sd card and booted the phone into hboot but it isnt reading my file, i think it knows its their it just says there is no image or its the wrong image. can anyone help me? if its important my hboot is 0.93.0000 and my radio is 2.15.00.07.28. thanks in advance!!

Update: alright, i fixed this problem by doing a wipe of my sd card and putting the PCIMG36.zip back on and doing hboot again. but now ive encountered a new problem. when i try to turn on my phone, it gets stuck at the "Htc Evo 4G" boot screen and will not go past. and also, i still have clockwork recoverymod, isnt that meant to go away since its not rooted anymore? does anyone know how to fix this??

my sd card will not mount. getting some error message. That is why I'd like to unroot and bring it back. I hear I need a new mother board. Is there any way to unroot without the use of an sd card? MY phone works like a champ other than the sd can't mount. Luckily for me, I have everything set for all apps to install internal and then use link2sd. so I just unlinked everything now and all is working. EXCEPT can't mount sd.

Update: after a reformat of my sd card using a sd card reader and my laptop, I found out that my problem isn't the motherboard. My sd card did crap on me, and needed to be reformated. Yes I had it recently backed up on my desktop so I am back in action.

What's your HBOOT version? the unrEVOked S-on zip will only work on 2.10 HBOOT or lower, and your radio has to be 2.15.00.11.19 or older (which yours isn't). Try downgrading your radio and flashing it to see if that helps.

I have that one too, but since this thread was pointing to the Froyo ROM, I didn't want to post the Gingerbread ROM, since it'll overwrite HBOOT.

But if you want it, here's a link to it:

If I have have a S-OFF EVO 4G with 2.2 still (3.70.651.1 software, 2.15.00.11.19 baseband & 2.10.0001 HBOOT) is there any reason I can't run the S-ON zip and then take an OTA to Gingerbread?

Will that work and leave me unrooted with the latest official software so I can take the phone in for service?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Yes, that should work. In fact, you shouldn't even have to flash the S-ON zip, since the Gingerbread PC36IMG I posted a link to should take care of that too.

i still have s-off

h-boot is 2.16.0001
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Hm, I guess you'll need the S-ON zip after all. But now, unfortunately, since you're on Gingerbread, you'll have to take a few extra steps to get there:

Flash custom recovery (RA Recovery recommended)

Downgrade radio to 2.15.00.11.19 or older (Calkulin has a thread with the radios you need)

Flash unrEVOked S-ON zip. At this point, check to see if you are S-ON or not (you might not be). If you are, you can flash the stock ROM and be done, otherwise, do the below.

From link RE: unrooting from Revolutionary in my sig, flash the 6.17 HBOOT file.

Flash the unrEVOked S-ON zip again. This time, you should be S-ON (I hope!). If not, you may want to repeat a few times to make sure it won't work (but I think it should).

Finally, flash stock Gingerbread ROM to update to signed HBOOT, newest radio, etc. for full return to stock.

I apologize for the original method not working for you. It seems that it's harder for re-lock the NAND of some EVOs than others.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NoiddaDroid:
OK I am stuck trying to get s-on. I've flashed the zip several times no go & I still have the custom recovery. On HBoot it has

HBoot 2.16.0001

Radio 2.15.00.0808

How do 1 get s-on and fully back to stock to take my phone to sprint? I have 4.53 software unrooted.

I got it figured out s-on, do I need to get rid of the custom recovery before taking my phone in?
