Un-Root my Hero

I need to take my Hero back to factory specs because I'm taking it into a sprint store tomorrow. What all do I need to do... should I just flash my original rom back on there or can I download a rom from htc and it will clear everything? I understand I need to flash a new recovery image too.
Thanks
oh also, I'm running FreshRom.

You can flash the original rom back on there and be fine. They wont EVER press Home+power and boot into recovery.
If you really want to go back to default.. Run this RUU

Running the sprint 2.1 update will un-root your phone.

Actually newest ruu is .6 I think

after you run this can you re-root?. im new to android and i want to be able to restore to factory settings whenever after root just so i can re-root and practice it, as well as know how to fix it if i do something stupid or just brick the darn thing.
like i said im new and not good with forums where can i get a copy of the original rom? i would like to have that before i attempt to root.
also kinda off topic but do i have to be rooted to make nanoid backup. i would also like to have that before i root.

Yes you can re-root after running the .5 RUU
the original rom is contained in the RUU program linked above
You don't have to be rooted to make a nandroid backup, though you do need to flash a custom recovery image. Being rooted means that you basically have administrator access on your phone, can run things like wifi tether and can overwrite the /system/ folder. A recovery image is a little different than that...

ok thanks, i know root is just admin, but a lot of root guides have you flash a recovery image, by doing that you replace the original recovery image? the one that takes you back to factory reset? thats what im not sure about and im really nervous about changing that and messing it up and bricking my device, thought one forum said its almost imposable to brick.
ok so i have that RUU and another one i download. do i just run it or do i need to have a specific program on my pc?
i know i need to Google it and just search the forums but i don't have a lot of time on my hands right now.

If you're planning on going back to root, don't run the .6 RUU. I don't think it's rootable. At least that was the case when it came out. .5 IS rootable.

Menu - settings - about phone - software information - software number.
If it is .6, who cares. You can get root by going to the development section and finding the root guide written by regaw_leinad, and the solution for software number .6 is in there, too. Dunno why people make it out to be such a bad thing to have .6... seriously.

Well you still can't root .6 but all you need to do is flash .5. So yeah I don't know why people are making a big deal either

Exactly. .6 isn't rootable yet but you are losing nothing by flashing back to .5 except for the patch they released to fix root exploit. What a waste of time for them.

But thats after you run the RUU.exe I meant how do you know what version of the RUU.exe coincides with what version of the software with out installing or running it. I am still a little confused on what I need to do with the RUU.exe and or what it dose. I have been searching the forums but there is not a Good sticky or wiki about it, its only the definition. I am assuming it re-installs a fresh copy of whatever that version of the OS is, but i don't know for sure.

sorry I am such a noob and thanks for the help but i just want to clarify that .6 stands for 1.6 or donut?
-Thanks for helping the noob!!!

2.27.651.5 is the original Hero update.
2.27.651.6 is the update that was released solely to disable the ability to root.
The RUU for each was released by Sprint/HTC and flashed your phone from 1.5 to 2.whatever.
If you root, then you can run any of these to revert back to the stock Sprint image. If you chose to go to 2.27.651.6 then the only way to re-root would be to flash back to 2.27.651.5 which would only be a pain in the bum.
Since 2.27.651.6 gives you nothing but the inability to root then it only makes sense to revert to .5.
If this makes no sense to you...feel free to give up on rooting altogether. If it does then good luck.
BTW I only figured out how to root on Monday so these forums are most excellent..if you take the time to search through them.

Thanks its starting to make sense, right now I'm software 2.1 update 1 or 2.6 so i just have to go back to 2.5 . once i have more time i will thanks for the explanation! yes this site is the best and yes i need to search more.

Anyway to revert 2.3.3

Yes, you can but it's a pain in the butt. Go to this thread and then download the original stock firmware. Make sure USB debugging is turned on also.
To install the file you need to have HTC Sync installed and running. Double-click the file and it should recognize the phone and start installing after some input from you.
If you get a USB error, try booting into the bootloader and installing the exe in the same manner.
I just did this last night because I was in the same situation. It works.
Now you can re-root.

You were able to downgrade to Froyo with this RUU? If so, that's great.. your the only person I've seen post successfully downgrading and being able to root.

I guess I feel pretty lucky then. I'm fairly certain I didn't miss any steps.
When I upgraded to the gingerbread stock ROM I used this link and chose the "no hboot included" option. Maybe that saved me.

It's still the same update. Whether I installed it through an OTA update or from the bootloader doesn't matter.
You guys can get into the bootloader right? Take one of those modified "official" updates, rename it to PG06IMG.zip and flash it from the bootloader. Then do my first post and flash to Froyo so you can root again. May be worth a shot.

I posted the same link in the beginning of this thread.

Unless you have an engineering bootloader, like after you rooted, you can only flash an an un modified pg0610.zip from htc. So any one who took an over the air update is SOL on that front. Best hope now is that the evo 3d root can be applied here

Wow, I almost just majorly screwed myself (again). I have the shift and its just been sitting in my drawer, waiting to be activated after carefully reading thru the forums so i do not true brick it again.
Anyway, for some weird reason, pulled it out just to charge the battery, and it requested to do an update (since it was connected via wifi), it tried and got stuck (praise the Lord) and Im just now reading this realizing I almost just GOOFED UP BIG TIME. So, wanted to take the time to thank the OP for this post which made me aware of the fact that I would be SOL if I had've upgrade and to prevent me from upgrading. THANKS!!!

[Q] Help with Mytouch 4G with Gingerbread 2.3.4

Hello everyone,
Any help you guys can give will be much appreciated.
I have a MyTouch 4G previously running Froyo, rooted and S=Off. Against better judgment, I decided to put this release of Gingerbread 2.3.4 on it:
PD15IMG_Glacier_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.19.531.1_Radio_12.58.60.25_26.11.04.03_M_release_200756_signed.zip
Though everything seems to work fine, I lost root. Contrary to most other accounts from other people who flashed the same file, S=Off remained on my phone.
I would really like to get root back so I can use some of my apps again.
Visionary stops at a black screen.
Gingerbreak runs forever with no success.
What other means can I use to get root back or am I SOL for now until someone figures out how to root 2.3.4 on the MT4G?
Thanks again.
N

From what I could find in the forums, you are kinda stuck till someone comes up with another exploit in order to gain root and s-off

I am stuck in the same situation, except that I updated first to the official gingerbread rom for mytouch 4g and then tried to root my phone, i.e. the phone was not rooted at all.

I'm quite confident an exploit will be (re)written - just a matter of time. It's just that I couldn't use some of my paid apps.

lOOK AT WOLF26915's post use the G2 instructions to temp root using the fre3vo exploit in adb then change your version number to 1.17.531.2, then your bootloader will allow you to use the 2.2.1 PD15IMG update to get back to stock and root.

This is the problem with n00bs. You wanna jump head first into something you have absolutely no understanding of then beg for help over and over in here when you finally brick your phone.

That was 20 years ago. And yet, even then, when I wanted to know something; I searched and searched and searched, and searched again. Then I read and read and re-read over and over and over again. And after all that if I still didn't know then I would ask. But I would also ask in a proficient manner.
Too many young kids jumping in on the Android bandwagon and wanting to root and flash Rom's right out of the box without learning first.
I stand by my first statement.

If you had Radio S-OFF, you should be able to flash an unsigned PD15IMG.zip even though you lost root.

Interesting. msm_rotator is I believe the exploit used in Fre3vo.
I wonder if this would work to downgrade the HTC Panache from Mobilicity to an MT4G ROM?

I also downgraded back to 2.2.1 then updated to the rooted 2.3.4 and it works

DOWNGRADING from 2.3 to 2.2 is possible.

I just accidentally stumbled on it...i'm not sure what files you need.
I know i had taken the old ruu and the rom.zip from it
My rom.zip was renamed PG06DIAG.zip and PG06IMG.zip.
I had a copy of the engineering boot loader...as PG06DIAG.nbh and PG06DIAG.nb0.
I used the fre3vo temp root.......then used the misc.img dump from the thunderbolt root package....and replaced partition 17....then rebooted into the bootloader....it proceeded to do two reflashes...one to the old bootloader....and then the rom.
now that it's known to be doable.....let's pinpoint out the files.

thanks to scaryghoul for telling me one piece i did not know..and thanks to the TB guys who came up with their root/downgrade.

Ok ok wait you got the new ota to downgrade? I must know more! I know how to do some of this stuff. I rooted mine and the wifies old heros. And I really want my shift rooted. Please where do I get the files I need to do this and what steps in what order do I need to do this in?
My free EVO Shift thanks to bestbuy

that's correct...i downgraded a stock 2.3.3 phone shipped to me that way from asurion....i do not use stock phones....ever.
i don't have all the details...but what i did was there....i do not have exact instructions as this is an accidental discovery...the main important things are extracting the rom.zip from the 2.2 ruu..and the tb's misc.img

Just a thought.. And maybe i'm beating a dead horse here so excuse me.... What about the Dec '10 froyo RUU? Can't we decompile the exe file, remove or alter the version check and signature check, recompile and try to revert to froyo? Or is the encryption yhe main issue?

okay..so scary found me the full gb update...i'm going to test it shortly.

Take a look at that thread, should clear up any issues/questions you have.

blah
i'm lucky i guess. my recovery is 2.2 rooted. went back to it again last week to get the new prl and update profile then back to a nightly.

Radio from the new update 2.11.605.9

I managed to zip up the new radio from 2.11.605.9 - Baseband: 1.48.00.0930w_3, 0.01.78.0916w_3. I have already flashed on mine to verify it works and DID NOT remove my s-off or root. Just flash like any other radio. Enjoy.
These are safe to flash and simply just the radio files and are in no way associated with removing root or s-off.
Installing this radio update may prompt the 2.11.605.9 OTA - DO NOT ACCEPT/INSTALL THE OTA UNTIL SOMEBODY TEARS IT APART TO DEBLOAT AND OR REMOVES UN-NEEDED FILES. INSTALLING/ACCEPTING THE OTA RIGHT NOW MAY CAUSE YOU TO LOOSE ROOT AND/OR S-OFF.
If anybody wants to host the file go ahead because i dont know how much dropbox will let me get away with.

If I flash this to a regular s-off stock Thunderbolt can I install CM7.1 without an issue...first time screwing around with thunderbolt after rooting and doing basic tuning
I've flas hed radios and roms/kernels on other android phones so I just want to double check if theres a conflict between cm7 and new radio. I don't think there should be but I didn't hear a good review of the overall software update so I'd prefer to just do radios for now.
Thanks

Flash away!

Is this a combo radio, or just LTE-only or vice versa?

Flashing now. Thanks for putting this up!

I flashed and it started downloading the latest update, beware!! Just back out of updating.

You mean flashing the radio removed s-off? That's kinda a big deal... (Or at least I didn't know that could happen)

so the Radio is indeed disabling S-OFF???? Or what is the deal. I didnt think those 2 files could possibly do that. Have they hidden a surprise in it? and where you guys using the rooted stock image or a custom?

I don't think it's removing s off. It does sound like the new OTA is being pushed to rom's using the older base though, and obviously if you flash that OTA you'll lose root and s off. In any case, I flashed this on cm7 and I still have s off.

This WILL NOT do anything to your bootloader. I'm running the revolutionary s-off bootloader and have maintained it after flashing this. Ryanmo was just stating that flahing the radio triggered his phone to try to download the ota. Simply abort it and you won't have any problems.

Still skeert. Never had that happen when flashing a radio... And the prospect of being stuck on stock gb for a day or two is not the least bit appealing. Thx for the clarification on s off... Was totally confused.
