I just rooted my OTA 2.2 EVO and now have a stock 2.2 root with hboot -0.76.2000

Im not too sure if I NAND unlocked but the guide i used didnt mention it, to run Cyanogen 6 i had to get 0.76 hbott like i did. Do I still need to NAND unlock to run the ROM? If so, how do I do such an act?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] abdullahaftab:
hey

previously i have been using the pdaviet 4.0.0.0.2 for my prophet. i then searched on the forum and saw many wm6.5 roms.

i am actually confused that which one to download. i tried babak 23134 abd bikertibi 23136 but was not too much impressed.

i need a rom that is fast and stable and specially gives me a lot of ram and is the full and the final version not under development.

plzz recommend me a good rom

i also wanted to ask which is the latest rom from pdaviet is it 4.0.0.0.6??
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] injulia:
There is No answer for best ROM. :D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] hd.herlambang:
if you find final version ,it will be a dead forum.... this is xda developer and its mean we are development :D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] specter16:
My ROM may do it for you

it's clean but with usefull apps installed in ExtROM so you have a clean and free space in your internal memory

then, it has 36Mb free RAM very fast !!!

give some feed backs

enjoy
[EVO 4G Android Development] djR3Z:
A lot of you have been asking for how to unroot the EVO, either because you're having problems and want to start over or you are returning your phone and need to have it unrooted. I've had nothing but trouble in the past trying to unroot using other methods, especially using the RUU on a PC. It always fails for me. Well here is the most simple guide to unroot!! Thanks to regaw for helping me with this, hosting, and the Unrevoked team for the S-ON tool!

HOW TO UNROOT THE EVO VIDEO WALKTHROUGH

How to Unroot the HTC EVO 4G

◄●REQUIRED DOWNLOADS●►

Unrevoked S-On Tool

PC36IMG

◄●SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS●►

If you're comfortable with everything Android related(flashing, recovery, etc.) then its just 2 simple steps:

If you used Unrevoked Forever at any time, flash unrevoked-forever-son.zip from recovery until hboot shows S-ON

Flash the PC36IMG.zip from hboot

◄●DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS●►

If you need a little more guidance, follow these instructions.

◄●If you have used Unrevoked forever, start here●►

Make sure you have downloaded the files linked above. Do not extract them

Connect your phone to your computer via USB and change to "Disk Drive" by dragging down from the notification bar.

If you have NOT used Unrevoked Forever, skip to the instructions below. If you have, transfer unrevoked-forever-son.zip to the root of your sdcard. Do NOT transfer the PC36IMG yet. It'll only cause a hassle and make this take longer.

Once complete, power off the phone

reboot into the recovery by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. Then select RECOVERY.

Depending on what recovery you're using, you need to flash a zip. Select the unrevoked-foreverson.zip that you just transferred and complete the flash.

When complete, power off the phone. Reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. If it says S-ON at the top, select RECOVERY and skip to step 9. If it says S-OFF, repeat steps 5-7 Until it does.

◄●If you have NEVER used Unrevoked forever, start here●►

Power off the phone and reboot into the recovery by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. Then select RECOVERY.

Connect via USB. There is an option for this in both Amon RA and Clockwork.

Transfer the PC36IMG.zip to the root of your sdcard.

EJECT THE PHONE FROM THE COMPUTER and then turn off USB in Recovery

Power off the phone and reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen.

It should check the PC36IMG.zip and then ask you YES/NO to apply the update. Press VOL UP for YES

Once complete, Press VOL UP to reboot.

You are now unrooted!
[EVO 4G Android Development] BronTron:
I do believe that says ◄●If you have used Unrevoked forever, start here●► twice....
[EVO 4G Android Development] v_lestat:
yeah it should say if you have NEVER used unrevoked

what about Amon Ra 1.8 it says S-OFF at the top of the screen? is that just for bootloader?
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenewguy821:
S-Off means unrevoked forever has been run. You will need to do the first part, to restore S-On.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Noxious Ninja:
Good, simple guide. One additional step if you've rooted via SimpleRoot is that you have to try and get back to the 1.40 PRI, which can be tedious. That might be worth mentioning.
[EVO 4G Android Development] djR3Z:
Not quite. The previous post was correct. Its just the bootloader. Toasts root has an eng spl and will show s off. This is just the bootloader and will be flashed over. Unrevoked sets s off lower and is not flashed over.
[EVO 4G Android Development] djR3Z:
Correct and correct :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hollawood12:
Hey, so i did all the steps and since i ran Unrevokedforever i used the unrevokedson.zip and the s-on came on, but im a little unsure if the unrevokedforever properly took in the first place. Aside from that once i did all the steps and the pc.img was recognized, after it was complete it never asked if i wanted to apply the update it just went back to the hboot screen and nothing after that..... please help
[EVO 4G Android Development] DS36:
try hitting hboot again and see
[EVO 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
My micro-usb is hosed - it's why I need to unroot so as to return it.

Is there an adb method of unrooting?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hollawood12:
i just did it again and nothing
[EVO 4G Android Development] Hollawood12:
now its starts to update, but then it fails when it gets to the step 5 system.. any ideas??
[EVO 4G Android Development] Noxious Ninja:
You could get a MicroSDHC adapter and transfer the files from your PC directly to your card. Sorry if that's not particularly helpful. :/
[EVO 4G Android Development] cadbomb:
So, I used Toast's method for rooting and have the eng hboot... I'm looking to get back to complete stock so I can play with Unrevoked 3.2... Just to verify before I proceed, will this pc36img.zip take me back to the release version of hboot as well as stock 2.1?

(I have some testing I need to do on my evo before I root my boss', gf, and other buddy's phones... I don't want them to lose their 1.40 PRI... I'm still stuck at 1.34 unfortunately, hence the reason I just want to get back to stock hboot and do all the testing from my phone...)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Testrunner:
I used toast's method as well as unrevoked forever. It would be nice to know if this would work.

Unlike you, I tested the new unrevoked method on a few friends evo's without a single prob.

I would like to start over, unroot, get 1.4 pri and be done with it till the next big thing comes along.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oikjdfkrjhr:
Hi,

Which android version will this PC36IMG.zip go back to? Stock 2.1 or Stock 2.2? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dcmtnbkr:
Best part about this (and i dont know if it will work for everyone) is that once I did this I then did a hard reset (##786# method) and it updated the pri to 1.4
[EVO 4G Android Development] Testrunner:
Good news! It worked!

I had used simple root and had the the eng hboot.

DId the 2 simple steps and now am back to stock 2.2 as if I never rooted my phone. Now that I know it works.... back to root I go.

P.s I have 1.4 pri now too.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] clownberg:
I can not get this to work

hey can you help me out-I keep flashing unrevoked-forever-son.zip repeatedly and it doesnt work-It keeps saying s-off.I have clockworkmod recovery-I need to turn s-on because i have to take my evo back to a sprint repair shop.my 4g radio got hosed.I must have deleted the keys-I was able to correct my mac address however 4g will still not connect
[EVO 4G Android Development] Testrunner:
I bet you have s-on but it says s-off. Confusing right? Well, if you used simple root and have the engineering bootloader it will still say s-off even after running unrevoked-forever-son. Run it a few times just to make sure then do part two.

Well, that's what I did and ONLY after part 2 did I get s-on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rem2nd:
hi all,i need to unroot my friends evo but i dont know how it was rooted.

all i know is that it was on 2.1 when he paid someone to root.

can i use this method to unroot or is this only for unevoked?

or should i just run stock ruu?

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] ICEReaction:
When you boot into bootloader, check to see if says S-ON or S-OFF at the top. If its S-OFF, I do believe you can run the S-ON tool here and then flash the 3.29 RUU that's been posted to unroot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chdrummerdude:
I have all the latest updates on my evo and i used the unrevoked method of rooting is there no way for me to unroot? i have tried everything. with the ruu i get stuck at the htc screen, and when i try to flash via hboot i get the main version older error. am i f'd or can someone help me?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
Have you tried unrooting with the ruu more than once? I heard sometimes there is a problem running the ruu on the first try. I am very interested to see how to unroot with all the latest updates since I too have the updates.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chdrummerdude:
yes i have tried upwards of 5 times i dont know what it is i need exactly. i get to the black htc screen, and after that i have tried to get the ruu program to connect multiple time with no avail. DANG YOU UNREVOKED!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
Bummer man... I am clueless to what the other options might be! I believe this whole unrooting delima is caused by the new hboot .97. This needs to be resolved ASAP! DjR3Z stated in a previous post that he would put an updated PC36img.zip but it has been almost 2 weeks since... Anybody else have any ideas on how to unroot???
[EVO 4G Android Development] chdrummerdude:
Not that i really need unrooted, I just want the peace of mind that unroot is possible, and right now it feels pretty impossible.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ashykat:
EDIT: nevermind what I posted was n/a
[EVO 4G Android Development] chdrummerdude:
Ok, so i managed to get a working PC36IMG.zip im in the process of restoring my phone to stock. if anyone needs it please let me know how to upload this thing so ppl can get access to it. This is for ppl with unrevoked issue and main version is older issue. I HAZ THE FILE!!!!! this is for 3.29.65.1.5

EDIT: Went through the update process and it looks like im good to go! heck yeah, what a day!
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
YOUR THE MAN! Where did you find this bad boy at? I've been searching forever for a working pc36img!! And you can upload it at http://www.megaupload.com/
[EVO 4G Android Development] chdrummerdude:
Uploading at mediafire at the moment would megaupload be better? ill have it up in the hour, i extracted it from the latest ruu. It worked for me removed su and everything seems all stock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chdrummerdude:
Here is a link to the file i extracted.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=108Z9R8Y

When i uploaded this it took like 10 sec to upload to megaupload so im a little worried that its not all there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
Saweet... I'm in the same boat as you... I don't need to unroot at the moment but I want to be sure I could if the need arises! Downloading now! Have you confirmed you are totally unrooted with terminal emulator just to make sure?
[EVO 4G Android Development] chdrummerdude:
do i just run su?

Edit: when i run su in terminal emulator i get access denied, looks unrooted to me!
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
Yup. If it comes back with $ you are unrooted, if it comes back with # you are rooted. And did it replace the custom recovery (clockwork or amon ra) with the stock recovery... meaning you can no longer access recovery? Again thanks for getting this figured out!
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
And if you don't mind I was going to forward your post with the download to androidforums cause I know there were a lot of people having the same prob and would totally benefit from this..
[EVO 4G Android Development] chdrummerdude:
Ok, so i get $ returned and i havnt checked the recovery, but i did notice that as the i was flashing over the stock rom, it was loading on the recovery. so i would assume that it is back to stock recovery. And no problem i have been searching all day for a solution, Glad i can finally help out in some way. I just get paranoid when i read that its impossible to unroot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chdrummerdude:
Heck no i don't mind! If icould scream this out to the poor people who did unrevoked root method i would let them all know! post everywhere you can! please confirm that the file from megaupload works. Cause if it doesn't ill try another method.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
Awesome! Glad someone was able to get this delima solved!
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
The download works just fine!
[EVO 4G Android Development] chdrummerdude:
So your unrooted?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
No.. what i meant is it downloaded just fine (194.6mb). I've never had a problem with files from megaupload so ill trust it. Im just saving it for if I have a need to unroot... I like the piece of mind since it has been a problem for people unrooting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chdrummerdude:
Well if you get the chance to retry it would be awesome to know if the downloaded version works too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NViouz:
Unrooted!

I already applied the s-on update, so went ahead with the second unroot step, just to see if it worked properly.

Now, gotta get root back :P

Cheers,
[EVO 4G Android Development] chdrummerdude:
Thanks for testing glad that this is working for people!
[EVO 4G Android Development] CobaltTugger:
Thanks for fix! I was having the version issue as well and this ran like a champ.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chdrummerdude:
No prob! I can't believe this is working!
[EVO 4G Android Development] D623:
Thank you so much, I was a little worried I would be stuck forever. I appreciate it very much.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chdrummerdude:
No prob! Ill try to keep up with the updates to keep providing the updated pc36img.zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] kayawire:
Thank you Sir....Worked nicely...unrooted and back to stock, returning to sprint!!!:D

You da man !!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] veteran06:
Ok so here is whats going on. I went to un-root because my volume down key wasnt working and i wanted to return in on warrenty. Well when I went into recovery mode I wasnt even thinking about my volume down key not working. So I cannot go down in recovery mode to flash what i need to. Any suggestions oh how I can fix this?? Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] .jond:
Thanks djR3Z. Worked perfect.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bsmoove386:
OP is there a way to run this without having to get into the phone..My phone is stuck in bootloop and bootloader. Recovery does not work it just sends a boot loop and my phone is unable to bootup. How can I run the s-on with my phone in fastboot? Also is it possible still since i did ran the stock ruu.exe to see if this would fix my bootloader/bootloop issue..
[EVO 4G Android Development] ajerkdude:
Thanks a bunch... While I didn't find a USB utility in Clockwork, I transfered the pc36img.zip after installing the S-ON zip. When I rebooted, it detected the pc36img.zip and let me flash it.

You may want to update the original post with the latest pc36img.zip link.

Thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
OK,

heres what i did to get everything to work.

i downloaded that pc136 file from page 20 of the thread, i ran it, it said it updated the bootloader and then re started, but then went right back to bootloader. i thought i was stuck.

so what i did was then load the RUU on the computer while it was on the bootloader screen, which did find my phone and restored it to stock, brand new...

so if anyone is having issues with either way.

1: Download pc136 file posted on megaupload from here.

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

2:Place that file you downloaded on your SD card.

3.Reboot into bootloader, it will find the file, hit yes to load it.

4. when its done and the phone goes to the skating android screen, make sure it is connected to your usb on your pc, once that is done, open the latest RUU file, follow the on screen prompts, it will look for your phone, find it and ask if u want to update from 1.47 to the newest 3.29, hit yes. then let it do its thing.

5. onces it done,your all done, fresh, fully stock phone, ready for sprint or whatever else.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chdrummerdude:
i would if i could lol, but im not the OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
If you have amon_ra you can do it through ADB

adb reboot recovery
adb shell "/sbin/recovery --update_package=SDCARD:romname.zip"

make sure you replace romname.zip with your zip files name, it is case sensitive so make sure it is exactly the same
[EVO 4G Android Development] ferfy67:
Hosed USB also. Can I just put PCIMG on my root of sdcard by downloading to my phone, move to root of card, and flash? I have no way of using PC ruu.

Thanks

SD card blank

Help! My phone was fine then all of a sudden it froze so I pulled the battery and turned it back on. Then on my notification bar it said Blank SD card: SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem. Should I format my card? Will this unroot my phone?

Hey guys,

Im rooted via unrevoked running BakedSnack 1.7 with a netarchy kernal. My earspeaker is not working so I need to send into Sprint, and would like to on warranty rather than paying the 100 dollars for insurance! Thanks to everyone for all the helpful information. I am going to attempt unroot tonight when I get home from work. Ill post an update to see how it goes or ask for help once I foul it all up!
[EVO 4G Android Development] shdwboy:
All went well. Ran the unrevoked zip and used the pc36img from page 20. Very painless except for loosing root. But I got my problem fixed and rooted again! Woohoo :D

Awesome congrats man :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] SuperAndroidman:
hey

thanks man this work but now my 4G it's slower then my 3G what should i do to fix it?:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] djR3Z:
Flash the latest radios.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dmanno:
My USB stopped working unless I angle the cable at a certain angle, so I need to return to Sprint. Thank you so much for this post! I rooted using unrevoked. After flashing the s-on I tried to use the OP's PC36IMG but I was getting a version error. When I used the PC36IMG link on page 20, it worked! Back to stock woooo
[EVO 4G Android Development] djR3Z:
Why don't you just return the USB cable?
[EVO 4G Android Development] menzo44:
can someone put the file thats on page 20 on another download site? megaupload wont let me download it!

Edit: i got it to download i just had to wait till non peak hours. oh and the updated file worked great for me thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] agreen1985:
I've flashed s-on many times unsuccessfully. I re-flashed older versions of the radio and still no good. Not sure what im doing wrong. Every time i flash s-on it shows successful but when i reboot into boot loader still shows s-off. Help please!!

HBoot-0.76.2000 (PC3610000)

Microp-041f

Touch Panel-ATMELC03_16ac

Radio-2.15.00.07.21

Im running VaelPak 2.3 [10/29/10] - NonSense - [HTC B149#11][FPSU] - 3.30.651.2 OTA.

my usb port is messed up ahhhh!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] djR3Z:
Just continue buddy :P If you watched the video, I mentioned that if you've ever used toasts root method or flashed anything thats used in his method, it will always show s-off after flashing s-on. Its just the bootloader. Unrevoked forever's s-off is deeper than the bootloader and will show that when you flash s-on. Continue with the unroot and you're fine :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dom085:
PC36 from page 20

FYI everyone,

I had a rooted EVO that I used Unrevoked 3.21 on. It had 3.29, 2.15 radio, etc.

I flashed the unrevoked s-on tool.

I used the OP PC36IMG.zip and got the "Main version is older" error in hboot.

I updated with the PC36IMG.zip found on page 20.

All seems okay. Double checked with terminal emulator, and "su" led to "Superuser permission denied" as well as returning "$."

However, keep in mind there is a total factory reset.

Thanks OP and poster on page 20! Have to send my brother's EVO back since it destroyed a couple batteries...
[EVO 4G Android Development] chdrummerdude:
No problem, I'm so glad that the file is still working for everyone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] androidjosh:
Megaupload will not let me download the file is there a mirror for the file? Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] lopezpm:
This worked perfect for me. Thank you so much.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dmanno:
The cable was not the problem, it was the connection on the phone. Lots of people have the same problem unfortunately. What's stupid is that Sprint quote "doesn't honor manufacturers' warranties in store anymore" which means you have to send the phone to HTC so they can tell you it's your fault and charge you hundreds to fix it, else you have to buy Sprint insurance which is bs. Anyway the Sprint people said I can pay $35 to get a replacement phone. So I did that even though it shouldn't have cost me a penny. I read horror stories of people with the same problem who get charged by HTC. Plus they said 2-3 weeks to get your phone back which is no good if your only phone is a cell phone...

Anyway thanks again for the post!

Wont recognize PC36IMG

Dj, Ive already got the S to say on, but in the bootloader it wont recognize the PC36IMG.zip. It says no image or wrong image. Should I wait for the new image zip as well or is this a different problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
There is an updated pc36img on page 20 that will work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tbedashi:
Hey i this problem is happening to me and Im already using an 8gb. Do you have any idea how i can fix this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] angrymanhands:
maybe im missing something, but when I download the "unrevoked-forever-son" file I just get a folder and not a zip file. Im on a mac, do I have to covert it, or what? Also, when I download the PC36IMG.ZIP file It says it cannot decompress and then it becomes useless. so basically at this point it looks like I would not be able to unroot my phone if I were to need to. Any suggestions?

Sorry if this has been addressed, but 24 pages is a lot to read.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jay2o01:
used this method to unroot, now no ota

I installed the zip from page 20, and now it shows im running 3.29.651.5... i know there is a 3.30 update from sprint available, however when i go to software update (htc) and firmware update, it says there is no update available. any ideas why i cant get the ota's like before?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
The 3.30 OTA is only for newer phones that were shipped with different cameras... 3.29 is the most current software version if you don't have the different hardware. (hardware version 004)
[EVO 4G Android Development] wrapkgb:
I have a mac too and had the same problem. This is what you need to do.

Open Safari

Once Safari is open, click on Safari (top left corner next to the apple icon.)

Click preferences

Click the general tab

At the very bottom of the general tab uncheck "open safe files after downloading"

Safari automatically unzips files when it is checked. So once its unchecked redownload the pc36img and you will be good to go!
