How do I flash back to Sprint?

I've got a Sprint HTC Evo that was flashed to work with Cricket. What do I have to do to get it back to working for Sprint? I talked to Sprint and the ESN is clean so no issues there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I really don't know, but I would think running ruu on desktop may set it back completely stock.

flashing any non criket rom should do the trick

Thanks.
I downloaded the RUU it ships with, thanks to ppcgeeks:
RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15. 00.07.28_NV_1.40_release_140444_signed.exe
File Size: 193Mb
And got HTC Sync from htc.com. Now all I need to do is use the Sync to put the RUU on the phone?
Is there any best way to do this or pitfalls I should watched out for?
Jim

I think you will just put the file in the root of your SD...then boot to fastboot. It should automatically scan for the ruu.

Well, yes the ruu will probably be cleanest way to go so, yes your right. I'm a MAC user so I know nothing of HTC Sync but it won't hurt to install it and then run the ruu. I would go with the newest ruu. But really, any for the evo will go perfect. Also, just to be extra clean with it, wipe everything in your recovery before. And so you know, the new unrevoked works with all current evo versions. And another note, if you plan on keeping the phone rooted but want to run the ruu, flash unrevoked forever (before you run the ruu) and you won't loose root no matter what until you flash unrevoked s-on(unrooter.)
XDA's evo development section has a thread which has all of the ruu's for the evo.

Where should I get the latest RUU? I just tried to run the one I got from ppcgeeks and it errored out.
It gave "ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR"
I connected it through HTC Sync and ran the RUU from my desktop on my PC
I'm going to try the 3.3 RUU from shipped-roms and see if that works.
For reference the HBOOT on my EVO is 0.97.0000

probably need to flash radio and wimax also.

I thought the RUU handled the radio and wimax? I thought that the fact that it had _Radio_ in the title of the RUU meant it handled it? No?
If not, then how to I flash those?
UPDATE:
The 3.3 RUU installed just fine, and during the process it said "Updating radio...". Now let's see if it will activate [fingers crossed]

Some include all 3 and some are just the phone rom. I use Sprint Lovers. He shows 2 versions to download.

I am in the same situation, I have tried everything to get it back on sprint to no avail. Anyone else have some more options? I am un-rooted and back to stock, but still cant get data to go through on this damn phone.

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.

Have you flashed any roms?

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.

[Q] need help flashing back to 2.2.1 from the new gingerbread 2.3.4 stock

ok so i unrooted my phone so the s-on and i was using the stock 2.2.1. i decided to give the new leaked or whatever u wanna call it gingerbread 2.3.4 found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174344
now i cant flash back to the stock 2.2.1. everytime i go to hboot and use the PD15IMG.img file and now it says older version, update failed. so now i dont know how to get back to the stock 2.2.1. if someone can help me that would be great. thanks

Download the new panache ruu, install it, then after that's done use the 2.2.1 Img. In bootloader, then re root. That's what I had to do. Now that's if you are still s-off like I was. If you need or want detailed step by step pm me and id be glad to hop on the computer and guide you through it.

lmao true i cant get it to work either.. this is crap lol i would have never flashed that leaked gingerbread rom if i would have known that it was gonna be a ***** to flash back to the stock 2.2.1. i flashed it with the s-on i just went to the bootloader and let it pick up the update then i hit yes and now i cant flash it back to the stock build. oh well i guess we just gotta wait. i just got my sensation 4g so its whatever. i just gave my gf the mytouch 4g.
this sucks hopefully someone can figure out how to go back to the stock 2.2.1 rom from this stupid gingerbread leak. it messed up my phone pretty much cause now im stuck with it and i cant get it back and visionary wont even temp root my phone or anything. i hate this gingerbread leak rom. the phone has too many data issues. so if someone can figure out how to get it back to stock please let me know asap. i have s-on and im not rooted.

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.

Touchscreen not working after aospx update!!!

Hey guys,
I updated my Desire HD to aospx BR7 but upon rebooting the touchscreen is not responding at all. I have tried rebooting the phone multiple times and have taken the battery out but its not working I have a nandroid backup for the BR6 but I have touch recovery so I cannot access that either. Is there a way to access that nandroid backup or flash a different rom without the recovery? I would really appreciate any help
Cheers
EDIT: I was able to use fastboot to flash the CWM recovery but upon restoring my aospx BR6 nandroid backup, the touchscreen is still not responsive. I tried a fresh install as well but its still not working. Any ideas?? Cheers

1:Reboot into bootloader
2:Connect your phone to your pc
3:select fastboot
4:run a RUU for your phone
See if this helps.

Thanks for the reply mate. I found this RUU ROM from the Desire hd development list....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235
Is that ok to flash? Also the poster is giving instructions on flashing it through the recovery but how would I go about flashing it through fastboot? Like I know when flashing radio you just write fastboot flash radio radio.img. Are there multiple disc images that I have to flash?
Cheers

Go into fastboot and run this RUU from your computer:

Thanks for the tip Muikuman. I was able to successfully go through the steps but the touchscreen is still not responsive. I have lost the CWM recovery as well which I expected (I can just flash recovery though fastboot again right?) Any other possible solutions?? cheers

Hmm =\ yes you can flash the recovery from fastboot. But this seems to be a hardware issue. It's not responding at all?

yea not responding at all mate. Yea might be hardware issue but the problem came up as soon as the ROM was flashed so I was thinking it might be like a touch driver or something. I tried flashing recovery but I get this
writing 'recovery'....FAILED <remote:not allowed>
If i cant sort this out in the next week....I might as well send it for repair and hope that the service guys dont discover that the phone is rooted and I have voided the warranty. Appreciate your help Muikkuman :good:

Hehe no problem my friend. You are unrooted after the RUU only S-OFF so I don't think they notice. And you should got the right drivers with the ruu so...

Guess what....I tried a vodafone uk RUU...thinking that it might have the vodafone splashscreen at boot up so repair guys dont suspect anything weird. When i flashed it the touchscreen magically started working :laugh: Now in order to root, recovery and ENG S-off.....I know there is like the ace hack kit. While reading the instructions, it said that I shouldnt use the tool if I have S-off and i do. Should i bite the bullet and give it a shot?
Here is the info for the phone
Android version: 2.2
Software number: 1.32.405.3

In the bootloader it says: Ace pvt ship S-off
hboot- 0.85.007

Nope.
Check if you have a recovery. If not just flash one. I believe, not sure, that the hack kit will give you those options in the event you don't have a recocery.

Check to see what are the other options for the hack kit. I can't remember if it has one if you are already s-off. But do not run it again since you are already rooted, if you do it will mess things up.
I'll try to do a search in a few hours on how to fix your issue, if I don't fall asleep first. I can't remember the solution off the top of my head.
