Ok I just got a new mytouch 4g from a friend rooted and all but I'm doing a warranty exchange and can't unroot cause I didn't know the method used but I spoke to the kid and he said he used visionary so doesn't that mean that visionary should unroot? I'm just trying to go back to stock

Someone rooted for you? :O well makes no diff and if you saying that the person said you used the Visionary meth to obtain PermROOT then what you need to do is download PD15IMG.zip from Dev section and put it in root of your SDCard and go in bootloader as it will scan the file and follow the instruction from there as it will revert back to default stock rom, radio and give you S-ON.
We traded my g2 for the mytouch we gave each other the phones rooted but this one has the bad screen so Im gonna switch and It won't let me download directly on to phone from the phone so o have to do it from a computer?

Well where the file was uploaded to is very bad site as it drops connection and has this annoying verification systems. I would recommend you download it in your PC and then rename it from "PD15IMG_Glacier_TMOUS_1.17.531.2_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155771_signed.zip" to "PD15IMG.zip" (make sure its not PD15IMG.zip.zip) and put it in root of your SDCard.
File: PD15IMG_Glacier_TMOUS_1.17.531.2_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155771_signed.zip
MD5: 49D07F0EE7DE1765A6A84CB12FA53110
Size: 312 MB
Now I provide you with the md5 hash which you can use to verify if the file you downloaded is correct and not corrupted.
I did it thanks it worked unrooted and all finally got stock tho I rerooted 5 mins later but least now I can unroot wot.no prob when I get the phone Lol ty for all your help .

Depending on where you are at with your internal workings and any update you may or may not have done, you may have trail and error back to the 3.29 ruu if your getting errors, so don't give up.
Is there any word as to if it is even possible to root the ota 2.3.3 and if there is anybody working on it? I figure unrevoked has ahold of it lol

I rooted using unrevoked and I actually did root and showed s-off but I unrooted using unrevoked and it turned s-on again...now I can still flash different roms and some apps still ask for root permission and are granted....but I am trying to flash kings v6 Rom and am having issues with it.....right now I am running mikg v1.03

Hello everybody! I'm new to the forums. I also got a really big question to ask. Well I usually root my phone with Visionary using a TempRoot. Then I updaed my Evo Shift via OTA, or going to the HTC Software update thing and now I can't really root my phone I guess. Is there a solution to root my phone even though I have Gingerbread? If not right now, maybe soon? I really want to use the tethering app to tether to my PS3. PLEASE HELP!!!!
As of now no there is not. And it might take a while before there is one. Idk if your phone already came with the ota update, but if it didn't you could have waited cuz the same day the ota went live there was a rooted version here already.
Just about 2 hrs later it was rooted.Pretty much a fundemental, if htc or sprint push out an ota update it will unroot your phone.

You can use the sprint RUU to downgrade to froyo and then root it, worked for me, I'm not on my computer so I can't link it but it shouldn't be that hard to find. And instead of temp rooting it there's a nice gui in the dev section that will perm root it pretty easily then u can flash the rooted 2.3 update through CWM

You will need a computer but if you remember setting up your gingerbread update it asks if you want to back up your device on google..... Use ruu to go back root and flash a rom like cm7 and you can restore your device or you can use titanium backup to... Well... Back up and restore your apps. Also google as you know backs up your contacts. So you should be set.... Anyone else let me know if there is something i missed.

The RUU can be found in the Evo Shift wiki by going to the following URL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Speedy
Luckily the RUU pretty much walks you through the process itself. You'll need the HTC sync drivers if I remember correctly in order for it to find your phone. You should be all good. Good luck, dood

MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP ANY USEFUL INFORMATION OR APPS FROM YOUR PHONE, BECAUSE YOUR ROM IS GOING TO BE WIPED.
First download the attachment. Remove the numbers from the name of the file so that it is renamed PC36IMG and place this on the root of your SD card. Power off the phone, then boot into your bootloader by holding the volume down and power buttons at the same time. Accept the update. If everything went OK, that should get rid of that Revolutionary at the top of your bootloader and flash the phone back to S-ON.
Next remove the file from your SD card by either rebooting your phone or going into your RECOVERY. I'm not going to give all the details for this.
Next, download this file.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VSFLE9CD
Rename it PC36IMG, place it on your SD card and follow the same steps as you did with the first PC36IMG file.
Let me know if that worked, because how to unroot the phone has seemed to be forgotten around here. Everyone is just happy to root.

That doesn't work completely for Gingerbread.
You can downgrade the ROM back to Froyo, but the S-ON tool will not work with the new bootloader, and the bootloader will not downgrade by running any of the PC36IMG Froyo files or RUUs if Revolutionary was used to turn S-OFF.
Assuming that you mean to unroot and regain S-OFF on an Evo 4G that was rooted using Revolutionary...
It seems that this has been worked out.

Oh by the way, thanks for the S-ON solution Captain. I thought of your idea about a week ago with the bootloader, and have a hex editor, but did not think it all the way through at the time.

You need to flash an unrooted stock ROM to roll back your HBOOT to an upgradable version. I assume you used the modded 6.17 HBOOT to S-ON, but didn't flash a stock ROM to restore your HBOOT to stock?
Because the modded HBOOT is a higher version number than Revolutionary, most likely it believes you're already rooted.
I used RUU to update my phone to latest stock Rom and flashed the attachment on this thread

You essentially have two options:
- Run the RUU (ROM Update Utility) for the latest stock ROM on your PC
- Flash the latest stock ROM, in PC36IMG.zip format through FastBoot

First make sure it is indeed stock. Then call T-Mobile. Ask them to push the latest OTA.
you can also easily root it , and flash a custom sense rom or just flash the gingerbread update , which is lying around in the android development thread somewhere
