This will show you how to FULLY unroot your evo to stock. S-ON *****(LOCKED OOW)*****
THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU USED HTCDEV METHOD!!!!!
Please read thru this guide once or twice before actually taking steps !
Your phone MUST be on a stock sense rom so go get that installed now !
Download these files if you do not have them

Before you do anything else, your phone MUST be on a stock sense rom !
step #1 downgrading the misc partition
1.download the first three files and create a folder and call it android then move the downloaded files to the android folder.(you should have already have this setup when you rooted with HTCdev)
2.download and install (do not run) htc sync: http://www.mediafire.com/?cdcjs0ue8tne4cy
3.connect your phone to the pc via usb cable
4.we need to extract and then move the flash_image and the mtd-eng files on to the sd card. make sure that you do not put the extracted files in any folders. they need to be on the root of the card (very top level)
5.change the setting from disk to charge only, make sure that usb debugging is turned on, settings>apps>development>check usb debugging, and lastly make sure that fastboot is disabled, settings>apps>uncheck fastboot.
6.on your pc hold shift while right clicking on the android folder. select open command window here option.
7. in the command window type:
Code:
[B][I]adb shell
ok you should get # in the command window if not then something went wrong.
if you do get # then type:
Code:
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
then:
Code:
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
and last:
Code:
/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img
the command screen should look like this when all the commands are entered:[/I][/B]

}
download the 4.67 PC36IMG file and rename it by deleting everything but the PC36IMG part in the name. make sure not to add an extra zip as windows hides extensions.
move it to the root of the sd card that means on the top level of the card and not in any folders.
power off then press and hold power+vol down. this will take you to the bootloader. if you named the file right and it is on the root of the card then it will ask you to update. select yes.
before you reboot your phone double check your bootloader screen. at the top it should say locked and your hboot should be 2.18 with s-on. if that is what you see then congrats!!!!!!!!!! you are now unrooted!!!!!!!!!!!!​

I've actually been dealing with this most of the day trying to unroot and go back 100% stock and have had no success. It was suggested elsewhere that I need to be on a stock rom? I'm dl'ing one now to try as I am currently on an ics rom.

yes you do need to be on a stock sense rom so download a stock sense rom, and then follow the guide

Where did you get it from, then?
It looks strikingly similar to this guide:
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/526575-guide-unrooting-gingerbread-2-3-5-a.html
In fact, the inordinate number of exclamation points and the use of my command prompt screenshot makes me think it originated over there.

and yes this is my guide. however, you do not need to be on stock sense, just not on ics roms for this to work. just throwing that out there.

Are you running a rooted ROM? You need to have root access for this to work. Try typing "su" at the prompt and see if it changed to a #.

thanks

Can this be done using a Mac?

Hi, I know this is really out of date, but I have to send my phone back because the screen is cracked (inner touch screen) and I wanted the phone to be completely stock. I never rooted the phone. I only unlocked the bootloader. I found this thread hoping I could relock the bootloader to make it look like I never unlocked it in the first place. Of course once I reached Step 7, I don't get the # sign. I get the $ sign and I don't know what to do :/

[GUIDE] Set up ADB and Fastboot on a Mac easily (With Screenshots!)

Ok, so I'm going to make a little write up on how to easily install ADB and fastboot on a Mac. It's actually quite simple, and plus you don't have to worry about drivers like in Windows.
Instructions
First, make a folder named "android" (no quotes of course ) You can place it anywhere on your hard drive, it doesn't really matter. Put it somewhere you'll easily remember, because you're going to be using it a LOT. I placed mine on my desktop.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Next, you'll want to download the android SDK from Here. (you won't need to install Java first like you would on a Windows PC, though I would recommend it anyway)
(As pointed out by Wlmeng11, you could skip this step just download a zip that I will have attached at the bottom of the page containing the adb and fastboot files instead of downloading the whole SDK)
When the SDK finishes downloading, Unzip it and the contents of the "android-sdk-mac_x86" folder into your android folder.
Once you have done that, open your android folder. Go into the tools folder inside of it. Double click on the file called "android" (possibly called android sdk) This file is a UNIX executable and will open within a Terminal window.
When it finishes opening, check the folder called tools. Make sure both "Android SDK Tools" and "Android SDK Platform-tools" are selected within the tools folder. Click install and wait for them to download.
When they finish downloading, go into the platform-tools folder inside your android folder, then copy adb and fastboot and paste them into the root of your android folder.
Now that you have adb and fastboot installed, we're going to want to test them to make sure they work.
Go ahead and plug in your android device at this time. Make sure android debugging is enabled in settings. Go into Settings > Apps > Developer and check it there (for Gingerbread 2.3 and lower) or go into Settings > Developer Options and check it there for Ice Cream Sandwich or Jellybean. As of now, there are two ways to access adb and fastboot.
Open a Terminal window (look in Applications > Utilities if you can't find it). Type "cd" followed by the path you saved your android folder to (I'm going to use the Desktop for this demonstration) it should look like this
Code:
cd /Users/<yourusername>/Desktop/android
Press enter.
Now you need to actually execute an adb or fastboot command. To do this, you'll need to type "./adb (or fastboot) <command>" For this tutorial, we will use "ADB devices" since it doesn't actually do anything to the phone. (we won't use fastboot since it requires rebooting to the boot loader which is different for every device)
In the same terminal window as before type the following:
Code:
./adb devices
then hit enter. It should turn up your device's serial number. If it does, proceed to the next step, if not recheck your steps, then leave a post in this thread.
(if it says * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully * that is perfectly normal)
Now, at this moment, ADB and Fastboot are both completely useable. However, it's very annoying to have to CD into the directory and use ./ in front of every terminal command. I'll show you how to add it to your path so you don't have to do any of that.
Open a new Terminal window and type
Code:
nano ~/.bash_profile
it will open a window that looks like this:
(Yours will probably be blank, because I've added a lot of stuff to mine over the years)
Add a line to it that contains the path to your android folder. (again, I'm using Desktop) It should look like this
Code:
export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/<yourusername>/Desktop/android
Once you have added that, press CTRL+X to exit, then Y to confirm the save then press enter. It will close the nano editor. You can close the Terminal window now.
Now we need to verify that it works. Open a new Terminal window and type
Code:
adb devices
If it shows the serial number, then you have set it up successfully and are good to go!
If you have any questions or issues let me know in the thread below.
If this has helped, please press thanks!
Awesome! This made the front page of XDA Thanks guys!​

Lol I'll fix that. Thanks btw. I'm out today, but I'll give you one tomorrow (too lazy to use my phone)

To save time, you might want to just have a adb/fastboot combo instead of the entire sdk.

Well since this guide is primarily aimed towards users who only want to root their phone, rather than developers, adb/fastboot is really all you need.
So it would save time to just use an adb/fastboot combo.

I still prefer linux
I still prefer the linux enviroment, although its handy to have the adb on my macbook for when I'm not at home and have bricked my device :S
I had already got this setup, I just didn't know the ~/.bash_profile bit Now I know had to add my own programs as actual programs and not just aliases XD

First off, nice guide. I am still trying to understand why you've moved adb and fastboot from platform-tools, rather than export the path to that directory. Is there any particular reason?
EDIT: BTW, you've hit the front page on XDA.

Hi.
Would it be valid on a very old Powerbook Pismo running 10.4 Tiger??
Thanks in advance and regards.

Indeed, though this method allows you to update your adb and fastboot via Android SDK Manager (ASM). Also, in cases where all you need is adb and fastboot, you can speed up future update checks by going to "Tools"->"Manage Add-on Sites..." in ASM and click on "Disable All" button in "Official Add-on Sites" tab. From there on Android SDK Manager will check only the default repository containing tools and APIs.

It could be done that way, but I personally put other stuff in the android folder on my Mac, and also it's a bit quicker to just drag a file into one folder on your desktop than into a folder within a folder

You won't be able to install the SDK, but you can extract the android.zip to a folder named android on your desktop or wherever and use that in place of the SDK step

You bet! this will work on any mac running any OS X (unless Google blocks the install of the SDK, but I have a way around that.

Actually, that's a PowerPC Mac, so Intel OSX software will not work.
There is no official support for PowerPC that I know of, but someone on XDA did make binaries for PowerPC.

Edit: yup, official sdk is x86 only.

Hi thanks so much for this. Ive been wanting something like this for months/ almost a year.
All the other guides didnt work for me, but this was simple and easy to follow.
Ive encountered one problem and its device specific. My nexus 7 tablet works great with adb, but my htc evo 4g lte doesnt. its rooted, and running cm 10 4.1.2. its debugged any idea how to make it see the device?
UPDATE. so i turned on my usb storage on the device and it now sees the phone. Great work!!!!
Am i going to have to connect storage to mac all the time for this to work on any device?

Unbrick the Find 5(Software unbrick via fastboot)

Well before we kick off you should atleast if nothing is working be able to get into fastboot.
Disclaimer:I'm not responsible if your device flies off your hand or melts and gets into the sea....Just Be responsible before using this!!
OK
#This should be when you can't boot up into any thing and you don't have any rom on your SDcard.(when the only thing you see is the oppo logo)
-Plug your device to a charger and allow it get charged if it doesn't have charge.
-Download this recovery package which comes with fastboot and ADB drivers.
-Download these roms CM10.1 or stock ( or any other one of your choice).
-Download Cwm recovery too.
-Make sure you have the device drivers installed.
-Boot into fastboot mode ie hold vol up+pwr button when ur device is off.
-Unzip the 1st recovery zip file to a folder and place your rom and cwm recovery img(rename to recovery.img before pasting) in there.
-Hold shift then right click in this folder and choose "open command window here".
-In this command prompt write "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.(don't close after its use)
-When this is done boot into recovery by turning off the device and holding the pwr+vol down button until you see the recovery menu.
-Erase cache,factory reset and wipe dalvik cache to be sure.
-Return to command window and write adb[]push[]"name of rom"[]/sdcard/ ('name of rom' should have the exact rom name+ .zip )[] means space.
-Now install rom from sdcard and choose rom and you should be good to go.
-Rom boots yay!!Brick fixed!!
hit thanks if this helped!!

[] means space like "adb push maxwenAOKP/sdcard....."Like that without the quotes.It should work if ur in recovery and have ur phone plugged in.Also it takes time.Roms are 100mb+ so give it 5 mins even if you see nothing on the command screen.If there's an error repeat!

Seems like sprint has cut off access to hotspot in the settings in the gs8 can some help me by pasting a copy of there tiles/location to see if i can just copy it into mines (assuming you have access to hotspot) to see if that would work?
Just follow the instructions here takes about 2 minutes to do:
https://www.xda-developers.com/thre...ickbaity-tricks-for-your-new-galaxy-s8-or-s8/
it will look basically like this, just copy and paste it here:

It could be a Sprint thing as well with no Hotspot settings at all

ROOT Ascend XT (help)

So I've been trying to root the xt but currently cannot find any links that are up to date, like the TWRP. Is there an up to date guide on how to root the xt?

Seriously..? There are plenty of guides posted. Other than that, just follow the instructions from yueng's twrp post to install madvane's version (or better yet, Google around for better instructions, and just use madvane's file). Then you just flash whatever SU manager you like (I prefer magisk).
I really don't want to sound like a jerk, but.. if you can't handle that, you really shouldn't be rooting your phone. It's a whole new level of PITA that only someone who's extremely tech savvy can reap more benefits than utter, miserable pain.

See post 1:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-ascend-xt/help/huawei-ascend-xt-h1611-t3507933
There are other instructions elsewhere you can search for, but those should work for rooting the XT.

I've tried those and almost every other one I've been able to find...the twrp or recovery file in the first part of that post doesn't exist...and the rest I've found are corrupt or also don't exist...found everything else I need as far as I know except that...

you got links for yuengs post? or even just the link for mads version? I can't find it to save my life haha
but on another note I've rooted a few phones before just the xt is giving me a hard time and finding a twrp that works is proving more difficult than I thought..even searches on here and google...but that's really all I'm missing is that..

I did find one posted by madvayne under the unofficial 5/21/17 thread but everytime I try to flash it it says it cannot open it, it's with adb and fastboot so not sure....

So in developer options you have "Enable OEM unlock" enabled and in security have "Unknown Sources" enabled?

yuweng's TWRP is in the zip file and the img file needs to be renamed after unzipping depending on what instructions you are following to boot or flash it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71184622&postcount=1425
As you said, the original TWRP link in the OP of that thread is broken.

yeah both are enabled....adb fastboot all works...tried twrp in with adb and fastboot and says cant open...phones definitely unlocked and obviously bootloader is unlocked.

Post the command you are running and a listing of the directory contents of the directory you were in which you ran the command.

for twrp I've tried
adb shell reboot bootloader...to get into fastboot/rescue
fastboot devices ..to double check its still recognized
fastboot boot TWRP.img
also have tried fastboot flash twrp or flash recovery twrp...
and do you mean where are the commands being ran from?
maybe I'm just putting the wrong things but I swear I've followed it exactly...but even then something is wrong...

The "thanks button" for those who don't know what it is:
https://www.xda-developers.com/introducing-the-thanks-button-on-xda/
Yes, post the dir output from where you are running "fastboot".

fastboot boot TWRP.img comes up as cannot load TWRP.img : no such file or directory
ran from cmd out of windows
even running from cmd out of the adb folder which goes to user not system it says the same thing
but not sure how to get the dir output....noobish lol never had to since all my other roots went fine but this phone

Is TWRP.img in same folder as fastboot.exe file? It seems to not be.

you would think that would be it but nope its in there lol

Type "dir" from the same command line window you typed fastboot command from and post the output. Does TWRP.img show up in the output of the dir command?

that's running cmd from the folder that has adb and fastboot
not sure if the dir is correct...sorry lol

Nope, fastboot, adb, TWRP.img are not in that dir output. Just find TWRP.img and move it into your directory you listed above, then the fastboot boot TWRP.img command will work .

Filenames can be finicky.. rename whatever the unzipped image file is to 'twrp.img', and try again. Again, I'd use yuwengs instructions to install madvane's 5-21-17 version. Just make sure to backup your default recovery first in case something goes wrong - can Google for more complete twrp install directions, it's fairly universal besides the necessity to use an img built for your device.

Take it you don't have much command prompt or console experience...
Download and install 'minimal adb and fastboot' and 'universal adb driver' (both can be found on xda or via a Google search). Find the directory you installed 'minimal adb and fastboot' into and copy the twrp img there (now would be a good time for a crc check). Find the shortcut in your start menu for 'minimal adb and fastboot', right click it and run as administrator (or go to properties and enable running as administrator by default). Type 'dir' in the cmd prompt that pops up and confirm that the twrp img is there, then type 'adb devices' to confirm your phone is connected and recognized. Then proceed with the twrp install directions..
What do you need root for? Unlike what many claim, it doesn't make your phone faster - it's for advanced users with specific needs. Getting the phone unlocked and rooted is the easy part, compared to keeping it running smoothly afterward..

I wanted/have root so I could debloat the phone myself and avoid AT&T bloatware crap from running to save RAM/CPU/battery. But yes, just rooting the stock ROM won't improve anything without further action.
OP's problem with being unable to access TWRP.img is that TWRP.img is not in the directory where they ran the fastboot command and its path wasn't specified in the fastboot command. Obviously they have fastboot in the command path since it's not in the dir listing and still ran.
My guess is that they resolved the issue since they stopped posting.
