How do I COMPLETELY unroot EVO to send back to Sprint
Like s-off s-on plz help
If you rooted using Unrevoked 3.21 there is a thread listed in Android Development explaining the process as well as the needed links to download the needed zip files to turn S-On and the zip file to restore back to Stock Froyo 2.2

Ok but there are still methods in the forum for unrooting just like how you rooted. I would just do a search for them and choose which one you feel is the easiest for you to understand. Also if you are getting another EVO unrevoked 3.21 is as many in here have said easy peasy for rooting.
Good luck

You need to run the RUU.exe found in the Dev section. It will do the trick.

Precisely. It can be found here:
*OFFICIAL* RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.29.651.5_Radio_2.15. 00.09.01_NV_1.77_CNV_rel.
One thing to check first: do you have S-OFF? This would be the case if you ever ran Unrevoked Forever or Unrevoked 3.21. If so, you'll need to flash the Unrevoked Forever S-ON tool from recovery before running the RUU.

Thx guys I never used unrevok just toast methods but how do u check the A-on thing & should it be on or off
Also this 1 guy on this forum said he used the ruu & had s-on/off but Sprint still found out he rooted so should I wipe that ex--- >#366# stuff too?

Reboot into the bootloader (turn phone off, then hold power+volume down until it comes on). Then look at the end of the first line.
If it says SHIP S-ON, you're good.
If it says SHIP S-OFF, you need to run the Unrevoked tool.
If it says ENG S-OFF (which should be the case if you used Toast's method), it is indeterminate.
However, if you never used Unrevoked at all, you shouldn't have to worry about it. You can check after you run the RUU, which will reset it to the SHIP bootloader.
I believe the 3.29 RUU resets everything, including the PRI. Toast's method downgraded the PRI, and it was difficult to get it back before the current update, so this used to be a sure-fire way of telling whether you had rooted. Unless you had a bad Wimax flash and broke your 4G, I *think* you should be OK. But I don't know for sure.

I just unrooted mine last night and it only took me 5 mins, just flash the unrevoked and then do the update on the PC36IMG and thats it.
Ok I got my G2 when it first came out. Used the old rage method to get S-OFF and perma root. Now i'm reading people say that they have "real" S-OFF and real permaroot. Do I have to do the "gfree" method now or is my phone good as it is?
I understand that with gfree you can unlock your SIM and you can switch between S-OFF and S-ON.. I'd like to have those functions. How should I go about it? Do I do a factory reset to go back to stock and unroot and then use gfree method or is there a simpler way to do it?
Here's what I have right now:
Stock rom, I NEVER installed any OTA's.
I have Baconbits.
My baseband is: 12.22.60.09bU_26.02.01.15_M2
Kernel: 2.6.32.21-cyanogenmod [email protected]#1
Build #: 1.19.531.1 CL255798 release-keys
Thanks for all the help.
Since you have root and a stock rom installed, just run gfree -- that is ALL you need to do. The advantage, aside from unlocking the radio, is that with the proper s-off, there is some new security for the radio... for unbricking and for being able to withstand accidental OTA updates. A true radio s-off can take an OTA update containing BOTH an SPL and a Radio, and yet s-off remains.

See the Wiki for details. Assuming you are running a kernel where gfree works (again, see the Wiki on this), you just need a root shell on your phone, copy gfree to your phone (e.g. via adb push), then run gfree with the appropriate options, e.g. "./gfree -f".

Using gfree does not get rid of the engineering hboot (or modify your existing hboot in anyway), so it's safe to do. And even if this was not the case, you can still flash the CWM3 recovery without the engineering hboot, only you'll have to use a different method than fastboot.

thanks for responding. so this will work even though i dont have a stock kernel?
also, as far as OTA's go, you mean that if after i run gfree i will be able to apply the OTA without it unrooting my phone?

Not sure about Baconbits, check the Wiki for the list of kernels that are known not to work with gfree.
If you apply the OTA after unlocking with gfree, you will still lose root but you won't lose the S-OFF and other stuff from gfree.

Not just gfree on its own, but you will need to go through the steps of getting temp root then perm root, which does use gfree as part of it. It's all in the Wiki.

gfree does NOT root your phone. It UNLOCKS RADIO SECURITY -- permanently. You only run it ONCE, you NEVER have to run it again... EVER.
With UNLOCKED RADIO SECURITY, gaining root is TRIVIAL.
What gets root is RAGE or PSNEUTER.

Yeah but gfree is often used as part of the rooting process, so I can see why people associate gfree with rooting.
gfree might be run more than once on a phone as part of the process to lock in root, i.e. to defeat the NAND write protection. Even though it's only needed once to unlock the radio etc, you might run it other times if you need to root a stock ROM and updates to that ROM.
gfree can be used to unlock radio security, but it has other options too. Sorry but I think your reply might confuse more people than it helps.

Help me please! I tried to find my answer, but i'm not sure.
Can be possible use the update.zip without any modification? Or i need change the hboot?
Thank you!

I'm perm rooted! but I lost the ota update cause I was simi-brick how can I get the OTA update? do I have to to a factory reset?
You should get the OTA right away after restarting the phone, I know I did after going back to stock on just Saturday of this week. The first time I connected to the network it said an update was available and it was the OTA.
that hasnt happen and it need to hurry up!! lol
So do a Factory reset?
hiya guys, im kinda in the same boat. Just got the g2 with build 1.22.531.8 and perma rooted it with visionary/rage method. I want to get supercid, sim unlock with gfree. can someone post or direct me to instructions on how to do so? thanks for helping a noob.

It's basically all in the title...
As it is, the wildfire is nor "really" rooted, as there is no way to write to the \system, thus making it impossible to do certain things (ie installing custom hosts file).
If Sunaabh does not do it, is there any way to obtain that WITHOUT using a shell? I've been searching, but I found at least 4 different procedures which claimed to work, but ultimately didn't.
Thanks!

And you can do everything even with s-on using adb and recovery...
E.g. just push the new hosts file using adb or use a flashable zip
so its not impossible.

Is not working if the system is read only, also zipfiles must be signed, and no1 have the Signature, of so you also can install recovery rom.
Thanks to everyone but... this just adds to my confusion. So is it possible or not to flash zip files with s-on?. I would not want to use ADB unless it's absolutely necessary...

Of course it is possible to flash ZIP files using S-ON. Majority of the people here are on S-ON systems and still use Custom ROM's, Flashable ZIPs for additional functionality, kernels, radios and stuff.
Oh, and just as an FYI, I would advice you to get over your paranoia of ADB and try it out. It's an extremely useful component.
OK, thanks a lot! Guess I'll have to give ADB a try.
So, i can flash a rom with ADB, with s-on? Do i need temp root? What is the method exactly? Thy

Are you on official Froyo release (Or, in another way, HBOOT 1.01)? If that's the case, and, it is on S-ON, then, it is not possible to root.
As for the Aria process, its a bit vague I think. Basically, what he is doing there is rooting, but, I don't think that process works on the Wildfire's new Hboot.
If you are on the older Hboot, just follow the guide step by step I linked above. Its foolproof.

Yes, that's what I thought. Since this topic starts with S-OFF, that is why I said you can install Custom ROMs on official 2.2.1. Not on S-ON systems.

Hi,
I'm in the UK and had the 2.3 update notification a couple hours ago. I have downloaded it and after clicking install I get an exclamation mark with a green Android robot on my screen and nothing happens.
Anyone else getting this?
Just some background info. I have stock Sense Android 2.2 which I have used Visionary to perm root with S-OFF. I have used Visionary to unroot and used the app called Root Checker to see if I am rooted and it says I am not rooted.
Do I need to get S-OFF back on aswell and if so how?

Do you have a recovery?, i dont know if this would work but it did work for me before, have you tried flashing it within the recovery?
I haven't no I was recommended to follow these instructions to get rooted and S-OFF to get apps like Adfree etc working
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
I have undone Visionary so I am not rooted anymore but the 2.3 update wont install.
Would this be because of S-OFF still being off do you think and needs to go back on?

Yeah you would need S-OFF to be not off to install updates the normal way
cashisback, you are wrong. S-OFF does not matter. Get the official 2.36.405.8 RUU from the dev subforum and install it.
It is because you remove some preinstalled apps such as Amazon MP3,News etc. I did it myself and i had to reinstall stock RUU.and then it worked. It worked even with S-OFF. I still have S-OFF after update. Good Luck.
I haven't uninstalled any preinstalled apps.
All I have done is simply following those instructions to get rooted with Visionary and S-OFF so apps like Adfree, Drocap2 etc to work.
So instead of getting the OTA over wifi I have to now flash to a stock RUU? I haven't even flashed an RUU before, any help with that would be good.

@jkoljo I have a stock RUU on my phone, can I not just do the latter part of these instructions?

To go back to S-ON:
Temproot using Visionary
Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)
Enjoy your factory-state phone
And then update to 2.3 via OTA?
Edit: I tried it, it doesnt seem to be possible to get S-OFF back on using the tool?
Thanks for making me aware of this thread, OP!
My phone is ENG/S OFF and I'm using the stock rom. I'm quite certain that I haven't uninstalled any stock apps so I don't think that's related.
Regarding S-OFF: If this was the cause (and I cannot really see how it could be - but I'm at most a layman at this), there would be many more users getting this error, right?
Just to add what I've written in the main 2.3 update thread:
When entering CWM I get this error message regarding the OTA update:
Code:
ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.6
Finding update package...
E:unknown volume for path [SDCARD:download/OTA_Ace_....zip]
E:Can't mount SDCARD:download/OTA_Ace_....zip

I've abbreviated the name of the file. It might be/is a stupid idea but... might the file name be too long (90 characters) for some weird format of my/our SD card? Rights: drw, format should be FAT32 - any idea how to check this on the phone?

You cannot flash OTA in clockworkmod, come on..
Make sure that you have Radio S-OFF and then use Gingerbread RUU.
@jkoljo I see your point obviously still will be able to get rooted apps working in 2.3.
But I'm complete new to all this flashing RUU stuff.
Which thread is this RUU that I need and how do you flash the DHD?
The HTC Desire HD I have is unlocked sim free and I am in the UK if that makes any difference. My current software version is the 1.32.405.6 one which I think is the world wide version.

Then you will imagine my surprise when after pressing the power button briefly (while the triangle was shown) CWM was shown. Is it possible that I have to 'deactivate' it for the OTA to install itself?

I am currently in the same boat as you same error as well.
Thanks for pointing me this way same issue here. If I'd have known it was gonna cause FOTA issues I wouldn't have bothered with root as I only wanted it for root explorer to regain the standard lock screen and thought that I'd do the Radio S-OFF and and SUPERCID in case HTC didn't live up to their word.
Chuffin annoying to say the least.
i keep getting the signature verification failure
Anyone know how to get passed this verification error? Thats what I'm having too. Click install update and on reboot theres an exclamation mark which stays there.
I've updated CWM to the latest version and tried the OTA installation again. Same triangle error after reboot, no option to get to the CWM screen and only the removal of the battery helped to restart the phone. This probably doesn't help but I thought to let you know.
I'd have used the RUU already (or another ROM) but I'm a bit hesitant of having to reconfigure my device completely again. Besides, there should be an easy solution for this problem. There always is

i'm in Australia, and have Desire HD by Vodafone, and all i have done is permroot with visionary in order to have superuser access to be able to run Samba server on my phone.
OTA update by Vodafone is still not avail, but I wonder now, if I will be facing any kind of problem while updating ?? (p.s. only super user access is taken and only visionary was used, phone still has stock rom and no modifications)
Just so everyone is aware if having this problem. I flashed my DHD with the stock 1.32 the same as what was originally on my DHD and then was able to get the 2.3 update without any problem which I currently am on.
Alternative if you still want root and S-OFF probably be worth flashing with the leaked Gingerbread ROM from 1.32 with root and S-OFF already done. I may try this, does anyone know if there is a .zip of it so can flash from SD card?

Here's the story. Got my original G2, played with it, rooted, s-off, the works. Needed to send it in for a warranty exchange so I unroot, s-on, etc etc, and put gingerbread on it. So I had the pc10img file on my sdcard.
Fast forward, I got my replacement G2, it had Froyo, had it rooted, s-off, the works before the battery was even finished charged (I waited for it to finish before I rebooted of course!) and I loaded up the official MIUI. usb tethering wasn't working so I figured I would download and flash a pershoot kernel! That "bricked" it. Wouldn't boot at all! So I booted it in to recovery (vol down + pwr) forgetting that the official gingerbread pc10img was on the sdcard. I was out and about so I just needed my phone back ASAP, so I went ahead and flashed it. So now I have stock gingerbread, with S-OFF and no way to get root. Is there another pc10img I can flash that is pre-rooted, or am I SOL til someone figures out how to root the latest update?
I'm gonna try gingerbreak after posting since I DO have s-off still...

To my knowledge there is still no temporary exploit for gingerbread that you would need to gain permanent root, sorry. It looks like you might be sol, but since you do have s-off try some of the other exploits like psneuter or gfree and post back.

I'm unsure if HTCs .zip includes a HBOOT update or not...but can you enter HBOOT (power+vol down) and check if it says SHIP S-OFF or ENG S-OFF?

It says SHIP S-OFF. And I was also thinking that since it is S-OFF that I could flash a PC10IMG that was already rooted, but seems almost all roms these days are only clockwork flashable.

SUCCESS!
Back to semi-square one anyway.
I was able to successfully flash the shipped rom as a PC10IMG which I got here (http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision) and I'm going to say that this is most likely because I am radio s-off.

It is because u were s-off. That was my configuration also so if I flash that official gb PC10IMG I'm still s-off but unrooted. To reroot I simply flash the 1.19 PC10IMG, let it get the 1.22 OTA if I feel like it then psneuter/gfree it all over again.
PS - to anyone else... don't even bother with gingerbreak for that official gb

I would put anything with root on it, just to get cwm. Than do as you normally would. As you may know, things are far easier through recovery.
::edit:: you should be able to find a custom built pc10img zip thingy, somewhere on these forums or from someone.
I'm sure you can easily make your own, and it should work.
Goodluck.
