I've reloaded the pc36img several times now, and each time, after finish loading to the lockscreen, attempts to use it; the phone reboot (over and over...) wat to do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jelive:
Are you making sure you let it completely load and get all OK's on the screen before proceeding? If so then...

Something is not right...perhaps redownload the PCIMG36.zip file to make sure you have complete-uncorrupted file. If you can't get booted to put it on your SD card do it the manual way by pulling the card and adding it manually. Hopefully you have a micro card adapter/reader to use for this.

Short of this if you by chance still have access to your custom recovery (Clockwork/RA Amon) go to recovery and do a nand restore...then start over but redownload the PCIMG36.zip just to make sure you have a good file.

Good Luck

Jim

This will put you completely back to stock

Yes they will work for 2.2 and anything else you're running or have run.

Appreciate it man :) Noticed you're from SA. Family lives there (while I'm off at school lol). Just sharin :P

hey guys im trying to unroot so i can take the phone back to sprint. my s is off, and i updated the pc36img from OP. everything updated except for part [6] microp, it gave a "Fail-PU" instead of the normal "ok". everything else said okay. any idea why and how i can fix?

*edit: so i guess it still updated because now itlooks to have gone back to stock. If I am taking the phone back because the proximity sensor has stopped working, will i need to wipe the sd card of all the kernels and roms and other stuff i had on there? if so how do i do that
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongo41:
here is a link for the correct pcimage. after you download rename it to just pc36image.ziphttp://www.megaupload.com/?d=BOLZG7KM

This has come in handy a lot! Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] generalExpert:
Would anyone know if by using the unrevoked S-on tool it would also change the custom unrevoked splash back to stock?

I almost needed to bring my phone in and was about to unroot but didn't end up needing to... but it left me wondering about that custom splash screen that takes place of the initial white EVO screen upon startup.

Does anyone have the PC36IMG.zip for the 0.93.0000 hboot? I've been looking all over but I haven't been able to find it. My USB port is fried so I need to take it to Sprint.

Thanks!

And for anyone that thinks megaupload is a huge pain in the ass you can get the file here as well http://blacktowersystems.com/EVO/3.70.651.1_PC36IMG.zip

This one works on the 0.93.0000 hboot
[EVO 4G Android Development] Team Scream:
Thank you so much for that,

I have been rom hopping all weekend and I think I borked my phone :eek:

I used the download from the link you provided and I am now back to stock Sprint.

I appreciate it man!
[EVO 4G Android Development] hellorenauldo:
I too need to unroot my phone, but im having these issues:

1. When at the bootloader, it will not recognize that there is a PG36IMG.zip file on my sd card. I cant flash any recoveries or anything. I am on 2.10.0001 (or0009) hboot. I have the right img.zip for this hboot, but it just by passes everyone that i load on my sd card. It is rooted however. I used unrevoked and it took me 4 tries before it finally rooted my phone. it kept saying my hardware was too new, even though I used the lated unrevoked.

2. I try to flash an RUU from my computer and it connects to my phone at first, but then it will hang for about 3 minutes after it reboots the phone and says its waiting on the bootloader, then I get an error on my computer saying to check if the cord is connected, and it is.. or it wouldnt have read the phone int he first place. I have the latest drivers installed and everything.

is there any other way to unroot the phone because mine isnt responding to anything. i need to take it back to sprint and i know they wont do anything with it if its rooted.

[EVO 4G Android Development] xOneSainTx:
I got it to say s-on and I flashed the PC36IMG.zip via HBOOT. I then restart my phone and I'm still rooted. Does anyone else know why?
[EVO 4G Android Development] troyperez:
Love this evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] proskateronnie:
I'm sorry if this has been posted in this thread before but 40 pages is too hard to search through. Anyways what happened is when I tried to run an old RUU my phone got stuck on the silver and black HTC screen. I'm sure you guys know about this. When I pull USB it takes me to the bootloader where it says "S-OFF" a few other non important things and "RUU". I cannot do anything on the phone! When I try to run the newest RUU version it doesn't connect to the phone (error 170). It does however connect on the older version where it gives me a different error. Not sure if this thread can help me out. Don't know what else to try. Thanks. Please feel free to message me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] djR3Z:
Just find the PC36IMG.zip in this thread that matches your phone's build number and flash it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] izzyforreal:
Hi. I've run the S-on tool at least a dozen times, but my Evo still says S-off. Any ideas on what would be causing this? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] djR3Z:
Just continue. It will only switch back to S-On if you ONLY used unrEVOked Forever (not the same as unrEVOked 3)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ferncc21:
Still cant get it to work. i am stuck at S=OFF. Tried it plenty if times no and still no change. Need help with this. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] drosaid:
Guys, hope you can help. I've read several threads, and even way mroe pages, and I can't unroot this thing. My micro usb broke off the motherboard literally the minute I was done rooting (clearly wasn't meant to be) using unrevoked, so now I can't unroot it the usual way. This happened over a week ago and have been charging via external chargers since, and have been searching all over how to successfully unroot. I've tried several different pc36img zips by using a micro sd card adapter for the computer, and every time the phone just says "no image or wrong image." I really have no idea what else to do.

hboot-2.10.0001, radio 2.15.00.11.19, software # 3.70.651.1, s-on ...not sure if anything else is needed in order to better assist me...can you guys help a lost evo owner out, or point me in a direction that I can find help? thank you.

ok, so I my friend asked to help unroot his evo, and I got to s-on with the unrevoked s-on tool, however i get an error saying that the PC36IMG.zip is an older build that the one installed, they are running a cm7 nightly would that have anything to do with it?

I keep getting "Wrong IMG". obviously I've got the wrong one from that thread but I'm not sure how to match it up exactly.

"PC36IMG_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2 .15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip (202.01 MB)

SHA-1 Checksum: F3725824147B54F4ED917CB025FB5F693B17782B"

This is the one I got from the other thread, & I can verify everything there except for the "NV 1.90". I have no idea what this is or where to find it but the Radio & WWE are both correct. I don't know if MD5 & SHA-1 matter either (but for the record I didn't confirm these"

My only other guess would be that its a bad download =/
[EVO 4G Android Development] aham83:
IF using unrevoked 3 NOT forever. How to you get rid of the superuser ICON. I knw if you uninstall the unrevoked in manage applications it will remove root but what about that icon???
[EVO 4G Android Development] cheebahawk:
If you are running the latest ROM then that is the right one. Just make sure you rename the entire zip to PCM36IMG.zip then it shouldn't give you problems.

I had to unroot yesterday because I needed to get the screen replaced through Sprint and that image file works. Just make sure you get the naming convention right

[EVO 4G Android Development] cheebahawk:
I believe you have to flash the factory zip to get rid of it.

How do I find out exactly which RUU I need?
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I used the one from the mirror on page 20 and it worked great.
[EVO 4G Android Development] matpal:
The one on page 20 is an old RUU.

I had to swap out my Evo I've had since launch day and the new one I have has different software running, I am sure. The problem is that these RUU's look identical to me and I do not know which one I need, or how to find the info to see which one I need. I'd rather ask all of the questions now before trying the wrong one and then having to scramble to fix my phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Who cares if its an old one? Flash whatever one works, like the old one on page 20, then go into the settings menu and have it look for updates.
[EVO 4G Android Development] matpal:
Because if you so that and then OTA, you get a new boot loader that has been notoriously hard to work with.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
...so flash it and don't do the update
[EVO 4G Android Development] badassdes:
If I unroot following this, could the phone be rooted again?
[EVO 4G Android Development] limache:

When I flash these images to my phone and follow the procedures, will that ONLY unroot, or will it also erase all the info I have on my phone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nnyan:
I've never used Unrevoked Forever but my phone does have S-OFF, should I follow steps 1-7?
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
I couldn't remember but was pretty sure I used unrevoked 3. Flashing the s-on zip should be smart enough that it wouldnt hurt your phone. It gave me s-on without problem, then I flashed the other file to go back to stock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nnyan:
Ya pretty much what I ended up doing worked with no issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rivlocs83:
After you unroot what rom will you be running? I have Mike froyo but obviously I wont be running that so my question is will I be running HTC Sense or do I have to Install it
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
You will have the original software that was on the phone when it was new, or some version from an over the air update along the way, depending on what pc36img/ruu you flash. Everything will be back to stock form as if it were a normal unmodded HTC evo again. It might ask you to do an update, which is your choice of course. No custom recovery, no custom anything. Back to stock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] grouse130:
I had to send my phone back and here is the method of "Unroot" that worked for me.

1. Download this file: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=86NCAM22

2. Connect your usb cable.

3.Reboot your phone into the bootloader

4. Run the .exe file you just downloaded.

5. Let the program do the work.

Worked for me. Hope it works for others.

U do not have to run unrevoked. If u are s-off just grab sprint lovers rom and flash in bootloader and bam you are fully rooted again. Flash recovery Turn s-on and then finally run it again and you'll be good.

worked like a charm

Thanks for the info and file links. I have a hardware issue with my EVO... it goes into reboot cycles whenever it gets a bit warm. Was in Florida last week and the phone would only work inside with A/C. Had to unroot to bring it back to Sprint for a replacement. Unroot process worked first time.

No questions or issues with Sprint service ordering me a replacement.

Thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] boomhower:
Maybe I'm hard headed and missing the obvious but got S status right but it doesn't pick up the PC36IMG file. Just skips through and puts me at the menu to choose to boot into recovery and the other options. Thoughts? My USB is toast and have to get it fixed/replaced is why I need to get back to stock. I've got S-on and flashed a stock ROM, is that good enough?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasongthang:
Ok, just to be sure I don't brick anything...

I just let the PC36IMG file flash/update from the boot loader screen, and that should be it? Completely stock again? From that point, do I go to settings/about phone and update to the latest android?

I'm running MIUI right now, do I need to change anything else, or just go ahead with the PC36IMG update?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethexi23:
I let it load the pc36img.zip.......But it says "Main version is older, update fail."

Trying this method cause I have to take my phone back to Sprint. I'm currently running MikG latest rom.

So I tried flashing the S-On tool and it said it was invalid. So I downloaded the newest one from the Unrevoked Site. Here's what happenes

Install from sdcard...

Finding update package....

Opening update package...

Installing update....

unrEVOked forever S-ON patch v1.3

Verifying system type.......

And it hasn't moved. How long should this take? I have a 32GB memory card if that matter.

5. Installed the S-On zip file using Amon Ra. When completed, wipe cache , data and dalvik.

6. Rebooted into Bootloader and verified "S-ON" at the top.

7. Rebooted back into recovery and used USB toggle to add the PC36CIMG file from to my memory card.
