If my Hboot is 2.10.0001 and my radio is 2.15.00.11.19, I should download the zip that ends the same of my radio.

I've got this same issue trying to unroot.

At this stage, how long should it take (it's been a few minutes)

I assume this is a bad time to remove the battery? Or is it okay?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crossrocker:
Soo. How do you know if you used unrevoked or not? And if you didn't.. you don't need to turn s on?

Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sim-X:
Just unrooted a friends evo, went great. Would be nice if there was a note on the simple instructions in step 2 to put PC36IMG after flashing S-ON. Not a big deal, but almost missed it. Also it only found the ota updates while on 3G and then turned on wi-fi to download. All good now though, S-ON, the radio updated, gingerbread and ready for eBay :cool:

Gonna do mine tomorrow.

We have 2 evo3D's on pre-order @ BB for Friday.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lopezpm:
This is exactly what I did except I used Fresh and it worked perfectly. I'm now S-on and unrooted.

I followed this approach and it worked like a charm. Had one of those small cracks in front of my power button and got a whole new screen replacement for free at the store.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mattchew86:
Ok. I have the files. Now, I still have a backup of the stock ROM. Would it be easier to just restore that, then proceed with the rest?

Edit: Little tidbit I forgot to mention. I used Unrevoked 3, NOT Unrevoked Forever, and I am S-Off. Using the S-On tool would be recommended?

tried to unroot a buddies of mine phone today, and for the life of me i could not get it done. I followed the steps to the T and when in the bootloader and it goes to verify the pc36img.zip file it says wrong image or no image.

I have 16Gb card which I use to flash roms kernels etc. So when I was trying to unroot my phone I used 1Gb card and phone wouldn't read my PC36 image. I was like wtf, so I put the same file back on my 16Gb card and worked.

Can someone please point me to the new ruu? I was getting the same error and am not sur what to look for. I was using pc36img? I have searched but dont know which file it sould be.

Thanks,
[EVO 4G Android Development] ipatella:
Good news guys. I had this same exact issue trying to unroot my brother in laws evo but I figured out how to do it.

At this point I'm assuming you're s-on and have access to your recovery (you don't need recovery).

Disclaimer: This method updates your system to 2.3.3, which isn't rooted yet as far as I know.

So these are my steps:

1. Go to this site and download the most recent zip (PC36IMG_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.24.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_NV_2.15_release_199233_signed.zip)

http://goo-inside.me/supersonic/ruu

2. Rename file to PC36IMG

3. Put file on root of your sd card (I did this via recovery)

4. update via hboot.

I didn't get the error I used to get. I have stock recovery and s-on. Hopefully do too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iCashew:
When ever I try to install the PC36IMG it comes up with "Main Version Older! Update Fail!" What am I doing wrong? My phone won't even boot except for into bootloader now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mahlhavoc:
Quick question.. ok, I thought for sure I didnt need unrevoked s-on.. ran hboot and now it still says s-off... how do I got about getting s-on?

Am I missing something? turned phone on seems it is stock as can be, will sprint store see s-off and does that matter? I dont have recovery anymore so cant flash s-on zip... what do I do? I am missing something?

I need to take my phone in cuz its blowing through batteries..
[EVO 4G Android Development] r.storm85:
You can flash a recovery image. (amon ra or clockworkmod) through hboot via a pc36img.zip. Not sure where to find it though.

Then u can flash s-on. And I think youll have to run a ruu again to remove the custom recovery

Sent from my PC36100
[EVO 4G Android Development] r.storm85:
Just so you guys know, this thread is pretty old an so is the pc36img on the first page.

Why you keep getting that error is because of the radios. its probably hard to remember but a phone will only ruu to the last official ota you took. If it is older than that it will not work.

This is just what ive seen :)

I rooted my gfs evo so long ago I cant remember if I used unrevoked forever or not. Her phone reboots like 20 times a day and I gotta root this thing to take it back. The phone is 0002 hardware. I updated to the most current wimax radIio update. It was rooted on the 3.29 ruu and has been on myns rls5. Anyways after flashing radio update I then wiped. Then tried to flash the s-on tool. I keep getting the unsupported radio version. Update failed message. Check sdcard log. Error 42.

Do I need to flash the radios that came with the 3.29 ruu?

Amon ra 2.3

Have not flashed ruu yet in case u were worried.

cannot get s-on

I'm currently sitting on hboot 76.2000, sprintlovers rom installed via the pc36img, I have tried tried flashing the unrevoked s-on tool many times with radios 2.15.00.7.28 and 2.15.00.11.19 after flashing radio I reboot into recovery and try to flash the s-on tool. The tool says it flashes successfully but when I power off and go into bootloader it still says s-off.... any advice? I rooted using toast's original adb method if that matters...
[EVO 4G Android Development] timdawgdentist:
Did u downgrade the wimax? I had the same problem I flashed the appropriate radio/wimax versions and then the s-on tool worked. I then flashed the gingerbread update and removed all traces of root from sdcard.. Now just waiting on backordered evo.. Which will come with gbread on it im sure. Hopefully s-off though :)

I would think so. You could even try downloading the files onto your phone from dropbox or a similar program.

Ok this is weird I ran it not knowing 1 click root uses unrevoked so it worked but it left s-on.

So I rooted again then use the s-on tool and it gave me s-on but now I also get the image too old error using the same zip.

Does using the s-on tool change hboot version or something?

If you rooted via unrevoked (your HBOOT version is NOT 6.x), the method in this thread will apply.

If you rooted via Revolutionary, you'll need to follow the method I posted (around here somewhere). I'd give you a link, but I'm on my device currently. I'll be putting together a quick and easy guide describing how to do it tomorrow.

Hey there,

So, Following another guide i tried to unroot my phone without using the S-ON Tool first, This now has my phone in a Loop where it only showS HTC" And four exclamation points around the corners of the screen.

It tried loading the S-on tool to the SD card and going into recovery, no go, Recovery wont boot at all, the only way i get that screen is when i plug it into my computer and unplug it, And then its locked on "RRU" and sometimes says "update failed" but never lets me back into the main menu to let me flash the S-on tool

I came from cyanogen mod.

Any suggestions on getting out of this loop of death? holding power and vol down doesnt do anything

have i bricked my phone? :(

Hi everyone,

Sorry if this is a noob question but I tried rooting my Evo 4G this morning and have been stuck on the Fastboot screen (android skating boarding icons) for three hours now to no avail.

Here are the steps I took:

1) Went through the Unrevoked 3 steps on Mac OSX and was successful

2) Put PC36IMG zip file in the root of my sd card

2) Restarted my phone using POWER + Volume Down

3) In this Fastboot screen, my phone recognized the img file and asked me to update. I pressed Volume UP for yes. Then it asked me to reboot, I said Yes again.

However, when the phone rebooted it just took me back to the Fastboot screen where my options are

BOOTLOADER

REBOOT

REBOOT BOOTLOADER

POWER DOWN

If i press BOOTLOADER, it'll ask me to start the update and reboot like before, then I got right back to the Fastboot screen. If I say NO to both, then I have these options:

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

CLEAR STORAGE

SIMLOCK

HBOOT USB

If I choose RECOVERY, my phone reboots and I'm taken to the Recover screen (ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1). If I choose "reboot system now", my phone reboots and the Fastboot screen is loaded.

I tried choosing "Install zip from sdcard" then looking for the pc36img.zip and confirming the install. Seems like it does something because i see a script running then i'm immediately back at the Recovery screen. From there I'm back to square one. Either I tell my phone to reboot or I can install the image again.

Basically I'm stuck back at the Fastboot screen with whatever I do.

If I can get any help on this I'd greatly appreciate it. I really hope I haven't bricked my phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] jelive:
Did you allow time for the PCIMG36 to fully run and get through all the OKs on screen before you proceeded? If so then can you go to recovery and do a wipe data-reset and wipe dalvik at least one time each preferrably 2 then try a reboot. If that fails can you go to recovery and restore your last backup then reboot. It doesn't sound like you've actually unrooted yet and should be able to get back to stable before you start over.

Jim
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheSunTheSea:
Thanks for the reply. I went to wipe data/factory reset and it says Date Wipe Complete. I did it twice, actually. Then I chose "reboot system now" but it took me right back to the Fastboot screen.

How can I get back to a stable normal mode on my phone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheSunTheSea:
Honestly, I don't think I gave PCIMG36 time to fully run because it didn't give me any OKs. It just asked to run the update, I said "Yes". Then it asked me to reboot, and I said "Yes" again.

I tried going into nandroid, creating a backup, then restoring to it but that didn't do anything
[EVO 4G Android Development] elstupidos:
You could go into recovery and ..

adb shell

mount /sdcard

exit

adb push PC36IMG.zip /sdcard/

or.. adb push whatever.rom to sdcard and go flash
[EVO 4G Android Development] jelive:
What does it say in fastboot at the top for HBoot xxxxx and also S-On/Off ?

OK use option 2...can you go to recovery and restore a nand backup?

or option 3 if 2 is a no go...do you have any other ROM zip files on your SD card that you can choose in recovery under select zip files.

Jim
