im actaully talking about a signed zip file you can use the stock recovery for. Just the stock 2.1 update that will work with the stock recovery. Not any rooted stuff or anything

Sprint? If so, then you should get in touch with them. There is an official update, but it's not a zip, if I remember right it was an exe, I think I found it on htc.com, a LONG time ago. Also, you can't flash zips to an unrooted phone. Good luck.

Go to a sprint service center and they should do the update for u that's what I did when I got my hero from radio shack with 1.5 still on it

thats what he is trying to avoid. Dont worry about it then. Some phones you can actually get a signed update.zip that will update you flash from the stock recovery. Maybe only samsung.

Well, I already told you how to do it without GOING to sprint, but here's the link to the download page for the update to 2.1.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/hero-sprint/downloads/
You have to choose how to DL the file, otherwise I would've linked the file, that support section also has instructions on how to. After you get 2.1 there's an update, also listed on the page. This is how I upgraded to 2.1, no sprint store required. Happy trails.

HTC Panache RUU on glacier rooted.

Ok after reading that I can go back to default RUU. I used the panache RUU, then tried visionary, didn't work.
Then I tried gingerbreak and it gave me error telling me to manualy reboot to check if SU is there. I rebooted removing battery..... And vola... super user was installed.I got rooted. Just installed Rom manager to flash recovery and all is fine.

Don't want to use custom as I'm very happy with stock . But as clockwork is installed, it should be fine. Using adfree, market access. Both needed root.

Could you please point me to the HTC Panache RUU file... I've searched all over, but cant seem to find it... My girls MT4G was stock, and got the TMO Gingerbread OTA. It soft bricked her phone (I can go into bootloader, fastboot, & when i attempt to power on, I get as far as the MyTouch 4G splash screen). Since it didn't have a custom recovery & was S-On, I'm pretty much stuck. I figure if at least this flashes, root, or no root, the phone will be functional again.. Please help...

So you are saying she had a stock unrooted MT4G, and the OTA bricked her phone? Strange.

The RUU files for Mobilicity and Videotron are linked there. You might need a Gold Card to install, since the CID is different.
But overall, if the OTA bricked her S-ON device, I wonder if she just has the bad eMMC... and she was unlucky enough to discover that upon receiving an OTA.

The Dropbox link for Panache RUU doesn't work anymore. I've been looking for it but didn't find any.

How about the FileFactory link for the Mobilicity RUU?

When I worked for Sprint's Tech Support department, most calls I got when the Gingerbread update rolled out to the HTC Evo 4G, were regarding this. It happens.

Unflashing a Metro Evo...

My friend recently got an Htc Evo 4g and he found out it was flashed to Metro PCS which he did not want, so is there anyway to flash it back to Sprint?

I have not.... was hoping for a simple process to flashing it back to sprint =/ but i'll take a look into that then.

I found that the Evo, my friend has is not rooted and has the 2.3.3 update, I've read to unflash the phone back to sprint i would have to flash a stock ROM that contains the Sprint ESN. but the problem is can a 2.3.3 Evo be rooted at least get CWM on it to flash the stock ROM? anyway around this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First I would find out with sprint if the esn is good.

an Evo flashed to MPCS is likely going to have a bad ESN and will not be able to be activated on Sprint again, hence the reason that phone was probably sold (or was stolen). However, that's not guaranteed. Definitely need to call up Sprint and check the ESN/MEID, or try this website http://www.checkesnfree.com/index.html, no clue if it really works though.
The ESN has not been changed on the device at all. The rom has nothing to do with the carrier. The phone can have whatever rom you desire on it and work on Sprint, MetroPCS, or Cricket if flashed properly. No ESN change necessary.
Btw, if that phone has the 2.3.3 update on it already then it IS a stock Sprint rom, and you won't be flashing other roms to that phone since the boot loader is going to be locked.
However, this should not stop you from being able to put the phone in diagnostic mode and flash the phone back to Sprint using QPST or some other phone flashing software.

Thanks for the response, and yes, the phone was sold to my friend which he later found out it was flashed to Metro PCS, and since the phone is on 2.3.3 the last option would be to call sprint and see if anything can be done.

That's nice of you but you don't have to offer anything on return. There's plenty of us that will help you out with no needed incentives.
But to answer your question, can you still get into your bootloader? Take battery off and put it back in. Then hold down Volume Down+Power button. If so, then all isn't lost. You can try to use the stock PD15IMG.zip for the Panache to put it back to stock.

Idk how to do that. I shouldn't of messed with it now the phone is useless. Cause these asians asking for 80$ at mall but its to much

The problem here is that the op tried rooting the panache the same way they rooted theirs friends mytouch 4g. Problem with this is that the panache come with gingerbread already. So they will have to downgrade.
I figured these steps will downgrade their panache with the stock US 2.2.
febycv said:
To make the process very simple, try this method.
Just follow this steps for an error free downgrade.
1. Download the rom here.
2. Rename it to PD15IMG.zip
2. Place it on the root of your sd card.
3. Switch On your phone while holding the Power button & the down volume button.
4. The hboot menu will update your phone (do according to the hboot instructions).
The original bootloader is 0.86.0000
Now reboot & enjoy your update......This is the original T-mobile 2.2.1 version....so no worries.....

Those steps wont work. You need the instructions on the G2 section. I'm on my phone so I can't link,but its in there. You meed to downgrade back to froyo. ADB is also required. So hopefully you know how to do that.

If you are using the Panache, you should be doing this guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16858971&postcount=98
It sounds to me like you need a gold card to downgrade your panache to the old android software. Too bad in order to make a gold card you need access to the panache to push the PD15IMG.zip into the card... You can always ask around to see if anyone in your area has a gold card for the panache u can borrow in order to fix your phone.

She is doing this guide. Actually, I've temp-rooted her phone and "updated" the MISC partition for downgrade, but she didn't have a card reader ready for making a goldcard, and the next day she already managed to reboot her phone and get stuck. So the only thing she needs is a goldcard.
The problem currently is getting CID out of this phone, I'm not sure stock bootloader shows it, and it's required for goldcard. If anyone knows Panache's CID - please share. If not - Panache RUU will be required to return to stock, but there is not a single link on the net now. So if anyone has it - please share, too.

Make a gold card for her using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970157 ? If you have the panache just insert a 1 gig card into the phone and enable disc mode.
1) Format it first
2) Click MMC2 and click get CID
3) Click on the website on the lower part and paste the CID number onto the form
4) go to email download image
5) Load the image and patch it and you'll have a semi ready gold card.
6) Put the phone back in charge/debug mode and push the PD15img.zip file through and it should revert it to mytouch4g stock.
Ps. I just rooted my panache two days ago and Im successfully running VU rom.

The problem with this guide is that it doesn't explicitly say that the phone needs to be fully booted into Android and with USB debugging enabled - but it needs to be. So if the phone doesn't boot, this guide is worthless. See the method this guide is referring to for getting CID out of the phone, and you'll understand.
In any case, the problem is fixed (or actually, there was no problem), the phone is booting. Hopefully, everything will remain ok.

Yea. The last time I gtalked her she was able to boot into the device. Also she did tell me when trying to flash the stock 2.2 unrooted rom from hboot
She did mention something about CID. Hope she can figure out. I don't use adb because I can't get it to ever work on none of the pc's I use so I don't know adb yet. So I won't be able to help her in that part.

EVO SHIFT BOOTS then Reboots ect...

Hello all , well I had it working great, used the HTC unlock procedure, because i`m at 1.50 HBOOT S-ON "Unlocked" ... installed the manual recovery, then flashed it with FRESH 4.1 for shift, it seemed fine, then I got into installing apps and it glitched on me and went into this reboot cycle....
Guess I did`nt wipe it right or something, because all it will do is turn on and say "FRESH" then reboot and does the same.....
I downloaded the stock RUU and it fails says" error recovery failed" I have tried everything and spent hours on this 1....
Is there anyone out there with a Nandroid Backup file ?
is that what I need ? i`m screwed here....
you guidance would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance Bill

What is this FRESH you talking about? I haven't seen a rom with that name over here, are you sure this rom was made for the Evo Shift 4G? I know theres a HTC Shift which is diferent than our phone.

I believe he is referencing this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347928

It's available in development thread and it is for the EVO Shift 4G.

Yes thats the 1
Its called Fresh 4.1
I used Fresh for the past 16 months on my EVO4G and figured it was a safe bet on the shift.........
Any ideas on what i can do ???????

Im not sure but if you unlocked with the htc tool, you have to delete the boot.img from the rom .zip, and than fastboot flash the kernel...

Yes it is unlocked with the HTC tool, and at 1.5.0 Hboot S-on........ but like I said I was able to load the fresh rom on it...
How can I do what you say as I now have a paperweight
Thanks again

You might want to go thru the root process if its still s-on, the ruu your using might be rooted version, try downloading the ruu from HTC sight or try factory reset from bootloader.

s-on will always show on 1.5 Hboot units after running HTC unlock tool... It does say "unlocked" now, I have done another phone like this and it worked fine....this one just glitched on me.
I tried the stock RUU from HTC and it fails,and have tried factory reset.... to no avail .....Help !!!!

You keep saying hboot 1.5, AFAIK the Shift doesn't have a bootloader with that version number. I know the EVO 3D was locked down with the 1.5 bootloader, is that what you are referring to?
If you are using a Shift and have used the unlock tool, you should look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1490747. If you could flash the misc.img, then maybe you could get the ruu to work.

God i feel foolish, YES ITS A 3D i`m talking about ,i`m sorry
So the 3D with fresh 4.1 is in a boot loop if you wanna call it that .......

So your evo 3d is in a boot loop because you flashed a evo shift rom onto it?

No when it boots it says FRESH EVO3D

So why does this thread exsist again?

:facepalm:
Do not flash Shift roms on your 3vo kid. You're in the wrong forum.
edit: It sounds like you flashed a 3vo rom on your shift?
Please clarify.

No it's a evo 3D he's on. He has a thread over there also.
