The S-ON tool is on the Unrevoked Forever page.

You can flash the S-ON patch through recovery. If you are back to the stock recovery, you'll have to first flash Amon RA or Clockwork. I've attached Amon RA 1.8.0, and you can flash it by copying it to the SD card, renaming it to PC36IMG.zip, then booting to the bootloader.

I've heard that the S-ON tool sometimes doesn't work on the first try. If you use it then reboot and still see S-OFF, try again.

NOTE:

If all you want to go is get back to a rooted stock, you don't need to do S-ON again. I highly recommend doing a nandroid backup with Amon Ra 1.8 first in case something happens to your WiMAX. Then you can follow these steps.

1) Take the extracted RUU which I've linked below. Copy it to your SD card and rename it to PC36IMG.zip. Then flash it through the bootloader. THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE

2) Download the Amon RA 1.8.0 zip I attached to this post. Copy it to your SD card and rename it to PC36IMG.zip. Then flash it through the bootloader.

3) Download su-xxxx-ef-signed.zip (whatever the current version is). Copy it to your SD card, then flash it through recovery. (Get superuser here)

Flashing this ROM will update all your radios and put you back to the stock unmodified ROM all in one blow. It shouldn't hurt your Wimax, but like I said, back it up just in case.

The standard disclaimer applies: this has worked for me, but there are no complete guarantees it will work for anyone else. It your phone dies, I am not responsible.

Update from earlier I have rooted using unrevoked 3.21 but still on Firmware 2.1-update 1 baseband 1.36.00.04 Build number 1.17.651 software number 1.17 not sure how to get phone back to 3.29 i have tried RUU 3.26 and 3.29 still getting usb error. I have done this on two different computers and still nothing. Im stuck on a firmware my phone didnt have when i got it two weeks ago lol. Ok im using RA recovery right now and have root on phone if i DL that file rename it it will bring me back to 3.29/3.26?? i found the thread on S-on but it didnt work the two time i tried I plan to keep root adn flash other ROMS i just want to get back to 3.29.

Sorry i should have read it all ok I have RA recovery could i just flash a new rom like FRESH?? and be back on the right firmware??

Thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayrizz:
I also have the zip file of S-on so just go into recovery and flash that zip correct?? No rename just flash zip as is?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Noxious Ninja:
Flashing Fresh won't update any of your radios. You'll have to do that separately. Or, you can follow the steps I edited into the post above to go back to 100% stock with updated radios and root.

There is no need to go back to S-ON if all you want to do is get rooted again. Once you have the recovery flashed, you can do whatever you want. But if you really want to do the S-ON, you are correct. No need to rename it, just dump it on the SD card and flash through recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayrizz:
Ok thanks a lot i will try that, but if i have more the one PC36IMG file and i load up in bootloader it will search for a PC36IMG file correct? if i have more then one on there how will it work? Or do i flash the extracted RUU put on SD card rename it boot in boot loader and let it search and find it and update? Or am i way off on this:confused: I have RA recovery at this time am i gonna clear that out with the RUU extrac? then flash RA again then flash the ROOT file within recovery??

Sorry Noxious you have been a big help i just want to b sure before i do this!

I do get the flashing of the ROOT that seems real easy through recovery. So if all goes well what firmware will i be on before i flash root so i know which one to download
[EVO 4G Android Development] Noxious Ninja:
You can only have one file named PC36IMG.zip on there at once. So you have to flash the ROM, then either boot it up or take out your SD card and use a card reader to put the recovery on there instead. So it would look like:

1) Copy ROM zip to SD card, rename to PC36IMG.zip, boot into bootloader, flash.

2) Boot up phone and connect it to PC or take out the SD card and connect it to your PC with a card reader. (Or I suppose you could boot into the stock recovery and use adb, but I've never done it that way.)

3) Delete the PC36IMG.zip from the ROM.

4) Copy the superuser zip to the SD card. No need to rename it.

5) Copy the recovery zip to the SD card and rename it to PC36IMG.zip, boot into bootloader, flash.

6) Reboot into recovery, choose flash zip file from SD card, then select the superuser zip and flash.

The ROM I posted is taken out of the RUU in this thread, so it's the 3.29.651.5 update, which is Froyo. You'll want su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayrizz:
WOW that doesnt sound hard at all lol i will try right now thanks again for all your help if it goes wrong i know its something i did haha. One last thing before i jump lol after flashing the rom boot up change to disk drive remove that file put SU file and RA zip (rename) reload into boot loader correct? Flash RA update then through rRA recovery (which i like a lot ) flash SU?

LOL Im sure ur answer is yes so why dont a lot of people use the flashing of SU file? It seem everybody uses unrevoked??

OHH and that part file that got DL with the ROM extract disregard correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Noxious Ninja:
Yes, that sounds correct.

You need Unrevoked if you still have S-ON, but you can skip it if you have S-OFF. I guess some people don't know this, or they just think running Unrevoked again is easier.

Are you sure the ROM is done downloading? If it is, I would advise opening up the zip file in some zip program and running a test before using it. Or you can use something like HashTab to check the file. It should have the following hashes:

File: rom-3.29.651.5_Radio_2.15.00.09.01_NV_1.77_CNV_release_150224.zip
MD5: 2F5046C0FC6FE61114EBC53D5997B485
SHA-1: 78B73DADB8D28D800E62F2084DC290D36C9BBFAF
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayrizz:
I will check the file im DL it again there was 2 files with it the zip and a part file and I already started the up date its updating/ unzipping now i see SHIP S-on. This is the second time im doing this as the first time i pressed up volume at the end the screen flashed on me and ran it again....

looks like it worked the second go around got the regular SPRINT and 4G screens!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayrizz:
YOU THE MAN BRO:D back on 2.2 build 3.29 WOOWHOOO!! now i just need to flash recovery and SU correct? But what if SHIP S-on??? what then will i be able to flash a recoery???
[EVO 4G Android Development] Noxious Ninja:
No, if you have already gone back to S-ON, you'll have to run Unrevoked 3.21 again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayrizz:
OK Unrevoked it is is there any other way to Root without unrevoked??? If not after using unrevoked is there any need to flash recovery or the SU zip correct? cause it will give me clockword mod, then i can just reflash RA in ROM manager.

You have really got me out of a bad place and I really appreciate this a lot you guys put in a lot of time and do such good work!! I know i keep hitting you up with questions sorry but when i was at this step a few weeks ago i wasn't able to use wifi tethering i tried both apps wifi tether and barnakle and nothing any thoughts on that im using unevoked now!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jayrizz:
WOW Noxious Ninja you are the man im back to normal thanks for all the help keep up the good work i really appreciate it all:D

Need to unroot?

I have the evo with the 2.2 android version.

A friend rooted the phone to get the tethering software mainly.

Am I missing other things with Sprint with the updates that I receive and cannot complete because my phone is rooted?

If so, how do I unrrot in an easy way. I tried with powering the phone down and try download RUU and got errors multiple times. Is there a place for " How unroot the evo for idiots?"
[EVO 4G Android Development] housry23:
Okay I used this RUU to unroot and get back to stock. The only problem is I still have Hboot s-off. How can I get it to s-on? Will I have to root again to go and then unroot following a different method to get s-on? Thanks guys. I am going to root again as soon as I know I can get back to stock, just in case anything happens. I love being rooted, but don't like not knowing whether or not I can exchange for a new one in case something happens and I have to use the warranty.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dan0412:
I assume you rooted your EVO using the unrevoked tool. You'll need to flash a zip - unrevoked-forever-son.zip - before flashing the stock PC36IMG.zip. This thread explains how to properly unroot your phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] housry23:
Thanks dan0412. yes I did use unrevoked tool to root. I used it to root again and I did some more reading after I did what I did and I see I have to use the son tool before loading the pc36img. I guess my question is could I use the s-on tool, and then use the RUU and get unroot that way. I guess I will try it to find out. I don't see why it wouldn't work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] IAmTheTrueUI:
Market?

Well, I used this method to unRoot my phone, and it worked just fine. Thank you so very much for this. The only problem that I have now is that my Market does not work. I will try to download an app, new or previously purchased, and it will not download them. It says "Starting Download" and a few seconds later it will pop up in my Notification Bar that the download was unsuccessful.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks again for all the work that you've done.

Hi

One question.

Microsoft says every wp7-Device have to have multitouch (4touches or more).

But is Microsoft allowed to say htc, Samsung,.. Have to use multitouch? Cause the Apple-Patent.

Sorry for my bad english ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
The apple patent on multitouch is bogus. It doesn't exist. Maybe some certain aspects of multitouch are but certainly not the entirety. So yes, every WP7 device will have the exact same multitouch characteristics no matter who the OEM is. In addition, if there is ever some sort of patent issue, Microsoft indemnifies their licensees of all patent issues with Windows Mobile/WP7. They have nothing to worry about.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Hirnteri:
Htc had "Problems" with Apple this year. But now? Nothing between Apple and htc?
[Windows Phone 7 General] theomni:
If i remember, correctly, I believed it was settled or something.

And regardless, if Apple decides to start s*** again, its MS who they should be coming after, if MS is correct with their whole "WP7-related issues are dealth with MS, not the manufacturers."
[Windows Phone 7 General] Hirnteri:
Ok, thank you ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Apple sued HTC over Android primarily. There was a few things on their WM devices (I think it was just how HTC did their 'slide to unlock') but it wasn't any of Microsoft's code/designs that they were going after. That case is still very much active.

If Apple were to sue HTC, LG, or anyone else over something in WP7, Microsoft would immediately take over. In fact, I think Apple would just sue Microsoft. But the difference between Microsoft, HTC, and even Google is that Microsoft has a massive patent library dating back decades. HTC has a few patents and Google has more but none of them govern OS design. I highly doubt Apple would want to start a patent war with Microsoft as it would end up doing neither of them any good.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Reihnold:
Exactly. Furthermore, it can be assumed that Microsoft and Apple have cross-licensing deals, so they can use the patents of the other. And as far as I know, the business relationship between Apple and Microsoft is not as bad as it might seem, because several Microsoft products are officially available for Mac OS (best example would be Microsoft Office) and are under active development (case in point: a new Office of Mac will be released this year).

The software upgrade posted below provides several key enhancements for your HTC Hero:

Upgraded OS to Android 2.1 Éclair

Includes enhancements to Sense UI

Includes enhanced corporate email support

Includes a variety of minor bug fixes

It's used to fix your phone or return it to stock to restore to factory defaults.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DaWeav:
It looks like both the HTC and the Sprint support download sites do not have this posted since both support sites are still showing MR 2.27.651.6 and not this 2.31.651.7 file. Strange.

No, they're two very different things, and it's critical that readers be aware of exactly what those two things are.

The OP posted a link to Sprint's executable RUU that takes your phone to the latest factory release, and breaks root if you're rooted.

The link you posted is to a zip file containing a rooted rom released by nfinitefx45 based on the latest Sprint update, along with a custom OC'd kernel he released specifically for that rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RichAggie:
I have been rooted almost a year and haven't really been keeping up with rooting new RUU's. Is this newest one rootable by the FreshKitchen? I remember reading how Sprint removes root methods with updates.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pyr0TeK:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrandoKC:
If worse comes to worst you can flash back to the previous RUU and re-root from there.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Whosdaman:
I never trust the oneclick root, but if it is not working then contact the developers and see if they can fix it. Try the long method
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Darkness4209:
I would just find the previous RUU files posted around here, run one of them and root from there. And you can always downgrade the RUU when you get your new one from Sprint.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] pc9840:
You can not roll back to the previous version ruu after installing this. So after installing this I believe there is not way to root the phone until a "root" is released for this version.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theresthatguy:
@whosdaman have you rooted this RUU?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Whosdaman:
No, I was told this was rootable, however it appears not to be. I guess the One-click people need to fix their product lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Well mine is not rooted either mine was made specificaly for the one that have an S-OFF hboot, it will restore just like the ruu, just you can do it all from within your phone by flashing it from hboot. This is much easier for the S-OFF group of people out there that may been to take there phone in for service.

Hope that is clear to everyone

I cant get the ruu to read my phone over usb though.

You have to have your phone connected to htc sync

Come to think of it I did get that error. I just re-ran the RUU without unplugging the phone. I had the same issue with two phones when I RUU'd the .5 update awhile back so I didn't think much of it since I thought it was just an issue with my notebook.

I was on a Sense rom before I updated so I'm not sure if having CM6 installed is complicating it further.

did a nandroid to my fresh2.4 rom and it took.
