Cant update after unrooting my phone - EVO 4G General

Wtf got bored and unrooted my phone and it says there is a htc software update ready to be installed and everytime i click it, it reboots my phone into the updater and then error. And i have to take out the battery to restart my phone.
Is this a problem with the phone itself or is there a way to fix this?

Did you unroot by running the RUU? Are you s-off? Do you have stock recovery?

I did all the above and i still get it to start updating then error

Sounds like you are still rooted but with no recovery... may want to flash the ruu again to make sure it all took... hopes this is helpful.
Also if you are referring to a firmware update I have a extra evo that says that but is currently on 3.30 still so I don't even know if 3.70 ever came out to unrooted phones..(I need to check into that)

It says it has a htc software update and i am running 3.29.651.5 so it should update.
And thanks for the help so far

Forgot to mention i did a nand restore to get back to the stock rom, could that be the problem and if so where can i get the correct stock rom. Ive looked around and still havent found one

Here is the ruu

I guess it didnot unroot completely but i started to redo the procedure and it kill all my drivers. Had to reinstall each one manually and the ruu is not finding my phone anymore after the first step of turning it off and using the usb cord. Help?

I think I found the problem, I needed to change the title for my phone on HTC sync to my HTC, and it found it ok. I also had to reset the splash screen to stock before any of this could happen.
Thank you for giving me the ruu and the pointers I needed to make this happen. Now to bring the phone back for other reasons on why its not receiving signal from Sprint but for some reason it gets Verizon... I can't stand Verizon so its time for a new EVO

OTA Update issues

So I have Unrevoked3, and want to update OTA, I don't need root anymore.
However, when I update it goes to start the update, then I get a yellow triangle with an exclamation point and an android, it just sits there til I pull the battery.
I want to be sure this is just an issue with needing to unroot, and not something else.
If its just an unrooting issue, how do I unroot from Unrevoked3? All the unrooting topics I've found were for toast or simpleroot.

Btw, the RA is Clockwork recovery.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Pretty sure all you need to do is put the update on your SD card, flash it, and then you're done. You'll lose root, but it should work that way. YMMV and all that.
I'll try it when I get home, hopefully it'll work.
Sent from my EVO using the Xda App
any word? I too am having the yellow triangle displayed on my screen when trying to install the OTA after doing Unrevoked 3
Nevermind, Im downloading now.
Im also downloading the 1.47 RUU incase I need to start from scratch, which Ive heard works with revoke.. Im just not sure how to reflash the stock recovery image and get rid of Clockwork Mod and Unrevoked.
I ran flash sdcard:update.zip and so far its updating with no issues, will wait for boot up to see if it took.
I think using the ruu is the only way to reset the recovery, anyway thats what I did and d/ling the OTA now.
Worked fine. Booted up took a bit, but Im used to that with all updates, Im now running Android 2.2
As a side, is the FroYo update supposed to wipe apps/settings? Mine werent.
well mine seemed to work, I didn't care about reseting so my process went like this..
completely stock+unrevoked3 root+clockworkmod
RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459.exe
OTA d/l and installed over 1.47
ota installed successfully
factory defaulted with 2.2 in place
Im running 2.2, but none of my settings were reset and all my apps are still there.
Does running this : RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_rele ase_CL195459.exe erase all of the phone's previous memory?

Yes.
It does not erase your sd card tho.
So unrevoked 3 users can't use the Froyo OTA update?

It's downloading!!! Thanks for the info!
well, i tried downloading and it failed? any extra steps to download? unroot or anything?
I was still rooted... Maybe the server's being swamped...
well it finished downloading. so i dont' know. tried doing unrooting with one click but not working so no im stuck. bootstrap or any app i need to uninstalled?
anyone extracting update.zip?
same here. i tried to install the update file but i reboot into clockworkmod recovery and it tells me i failed to update
Working good, now we'll need to divide the forum questions Before Froyo BF and After Froyo AF. No bugs yet, though flash doesn't quite match lip sync, not too sure if it's the site or not.
Worked great, tried flash and that works beautifully. Phone sure seems to be a bit smoother. I had rooted the phone and I unrooted it before performing the OTA update.

Ok, my way worked. All you need to do, is to hard reset, reactivate your phone, and download ota update. It totally worked!
Noobie here..when you say hard set, what exactly do you mean. Do I need to unroot the phone first and then hardset, then go to (with verizon) *228 and ativate?

Well... I tried factory reset and reactivated.. still gets hung up and resets after its reboot to the recovery screen. Comes back with "update failed"
The only thing I had done at one time or another was Koush's Clockwork boot and root.
I had unrooted and uninstalled Kouch's stuff.. then factory reset and reinstalled, same thing. The update will download.. boots to recovery screen, get 1/4 way, error triangle, reboot, "update failed"..
Any ideas? Is there something from Koush's stuff that is hanging around, evern after an uninstall?
I'd really like to get the OTA update!!
Thanks!

Anyone know if I need to backup first? I haven't rooted it, I just have a couple dozen apps installed and don't want to lose my text messages and any other information.
Nevermind, I eventually figured out it saves your data.
Trying to get this update. I am rooted and am trying to complete the instruction from the first couple of posts. Setting/About Phone/System Updates
When I go to System update it tells me I have to hava a Motorola Account "System Update " is not available without a Motorola service account. Would you like to set up an account now?
When I choose setup it takes me to Setup Account menu. What account is it talking about? Anyone know?
Same here. I deleted pretty much anythig i could think of and still.nothing. maybe my framework? Anyone got a stock apk framework?
I did that one click root method an i tried doing the unroot and doesn't seem to work.

Seems like there are people that have just rooted that can get the update...
I had rooted at one point.. but also had the Koush bootloader on.. have recently uninistalled that.
Koush.. is there anything else I can do manually that will make my phone stock after uninstalling your Clockworks loader?
Please help!!!

[Q] Bricked HTC Mytouch 4G?

First off let me start by saying I now know what i did wrong. Next is there anyway i can fix it?
I didn't backup anything and then managed to erase everything... I have CM 6 but as of now all i can get is the boot screen. I tried recovery but that won't work becasue there is no backup. also Before I erased everything i managed to turn s on so now i have no way to turn that off correct? Im basicly looking for a way to restore my phone but if it cant be done then i understand. Right now I am using a samsung vibrant with Nero v3 voodo and understand how to install custom roms now
i have almost the same problem as you I don't know what to do I've looked everywhere.

What do you mean... erase everything? How?
Possible steps:
1. factory reset from H-Boot, see if it boots up normally, then re-root.
2. Install PD15IMG from development section, look it up.
Good luck.
Man, do I feel like an idiot...

Which recovery did you have installed and which h-boot
Did you try seeing if you could s-off through adb? Im not sure if this will work but Download the files you need to get s-off from ur computer and put it on ur SD card via a card reader or some sort, after you get the necessary files put the SD card back into ur phone. Hook it up to ur computer and maybe you can s-off through adb if you can get ur computer to recognize ur phone. Then IF it works, download a rom via computer to it SD card and boot into recovery and flash. Let me know what happens if it works or not

Should have taken my advice from this thread.
I just went thru the same thing and couldn't restore any of the backups it just kept getting stuck on the flash screen. I downloaded the ice glacier rom on to a spare sd card and flashed it thru hboot recovery and it looks like that did the trick.
hi guys if you still cant get your phones working try mobiletechvideos.com, they fixed my phone , my phone wouldn`t do anything .good reliable service, yes its in texas.
Although you didnt create any backups, is it possible that someone can create a backup of a fresh ROM and send that to you?
youshoe said:
Just take the SD card and put a new ROM on it. Then go to recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalkik cache.
Then install zip from sd card and find it.
I like using Royal Panache 1.3.
I think it's stock Mobilicity ROM but no stock software from carrier. Good stuff.
MIUI and Cyanogenmod 7.1 are also good candidates.
I'm currently testing out ICS and you can test it out as well (but in your case, probably try a working one first =P) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383629&page=1

EA28 OTA

I just activated my girlfriend's phone and immediately it prompted for update, so I did. To my surprise it was not DL09, but instead EA28. So after some google searches I found this:
http://phandroid.com/2011/02/03/samsung-fascinates-ea28-update-coming-to-fix-emergency-calling-bug/
The site is basically right, they repackaged dl09 with the emergency calling bugfix and pushed it out with a new build number.
just got mine... I'm gonna have a seizure in a public place to test it out.
Does any one know if one click root will work with this update

One Click root works just fine! Just completed root!
I believe I was able to root successfully but when I try to flash ClockwordMod, it doesn't seem to be working. ROM manager says its flashed and has the latest version, but when I boot into recovery it is definitely not ClockwordMod. I cannot do backups or choose a file from SD to install.

When you flash a new ROM it overwrites CWM, so you'll have to re-install it with Odin.

Update broke my phone!
I just saw a screen forcing the update upon my phone. I clicked "OK" but when the EA28 update installed itself on my phone, it locked my phone into a cycle of trying to install it again and again. The baseband version shows S:i500.04 V.EA28, the Build number shows SCH-I500.EA28, but the update keeps trying to install the update. It gives a Prompt to Install-Reboots Phone-Prompt to Install-Reboot Phone... I managed to get it to stop for a little while by scheduling a deferral of the update until tomorrow. Does anyone know how I can keep the update from trying to install?
Yeah I just went to ask if there is an update and it said yes. Afraid to update because who knows if it'll break root....

I managed to get my phone to stop rebooting every 3 minutes by ending the InnoPath Active Care process and clearing the cache. But when I woke up this morning, the phone was at the emergency recovery screen. It went into a cycle of rebooting that made it as far as media scanner. I got it to stop rebooting by turning ON wifi (I suppose that's because Active Care needs WiFi off to do an OTA). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this "Feature" that is rebooting my phone?
You tried pulling the battery (soft reset) i presume? After that theres factory rest, then odin back to stock

Can't update OTA to GB

Was z4 rooted then unrooted to upgrade to GB.
I'm running the stock rom right now. OTA update downloaded just fine. The phone resets like it's suppose to then half way through the update an exclamation point appears and it stops then boots normal.
After everything is loaded a box says, "Update Failed".
How can I manually update? I'm not really into the rooting thing. I called verizon and 3 different people said that there is no software update for the Droid X.
I figured if I had to tell THEM about the update that I wasn't gonna get anywhere with them.
Thanks

I've got a similar issue. OTA update failed (I un-rooted but didn't flash).
I then used RSD lite to flash the sbf back to 2.3.320. When I check for system updates it tells me there aren't any.
Do I just wait a day or so until my phone recognizes the update and downloads it or is there something else I'll have to do?

If you unrooted, you need to SBF back to 340. I used Z4 root/unroot like many others and it just wouldn't update, same as you, it downloaded but about 25% through it failed.
If anyone here needs SBF instructions, send me a pm and I will show you a great site to help you out

Yeah, he was referring to lamarrk's post. For you, SBF'ing back to .340 should do it. Some updates have failed in the past if the phone was ever rooted, since unrooting it apparently doesn't completely remove all traces of the rooting.
Awesome. Still at work. Crap.
