[Q] Need to flash back to stock... please help!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a unique problem, and I think I will need someone with some patience to help if its even possible to get my phone back to stock. Recently my EVO screen completely stopped working yet when I turn on the phone I know that it still boots up because i still get notification sounds and alarms still work the screen has just gone out. My phone has a custom flash screen unrevoked, and it has a custom rom with custom boot animation not to mention a custom kernal. What I need to know, is it possible to do a push or something to flash the radio to s-on and reset it all back to stock? I only have until 8-18-2011 to return my phone to sprint and to get this done so please someone that knows what they are doing please reply. Thank you so much in advance.
You said you have an EVO, never mentioned if it is the original or 3D.
I'm assuming it's the original. Go to this thread and follow the guide.

I think I may be completely screwed but hopefully someone here can help me.
I tried running the shelltool program to flash to faria's wm6 rom and now my phone is completley bricked. It is stuck on the first screen when you power the device on, the screen that says T-Mobile and tells you what rom and radio version are installed on the phone.
I have tried running the RUU provided by T-Mobile and that didnt work and I have also tried re-flashing the rom using the shelltool program using the original rom. Nothing is working and I am desperate for help.
If anyone has any ideas, please help me as this is my only cell phone and I do not have the money to replace it.
Please, please help if you can.

Did you put the phone into bootloader mode? Turn it off (pull the battery if you have to). Then hold the camera button while you turn the phone on. You'll get the bootloader screen. From there you should be able to flash a rom. (I assume Shell Tools works here, but I don't know). Is your phone a G4 or a G3?. Safest thing is to flash the Wizard Love rom I'd assume. See the stickie at the top of the forum about how to flash as it has links and all...
Thank you so much man... You seriously save my A$$.
If you are not doing it already, I recommend to back-flash first to the latest vendor provided ROM, flash your radio ROM of choice if you want (optional), then finally flash the latest ROM. This ensures that you have a solid base to start out with.
ok I have completely rebooted the phone to the base rom provided by t-mobile but I am having trouble finding shelltool so that i can still flash the rom i really want.
right now it is the standard tmobile rom.
If you know where I can download shelltool so I can flash the custom rom i want then that would be great.
A little searching or looking at the topics would have gave you your answer.

thank you thank you thank you.
PPCKitchen's BuildOS bricked my phone, and I had to do this to save it. I certainly won't muck with that app again.
Ok, please read the stickies before reflashing. Or you'll kill your device again.
Hello I've been experimenting with some custom roms on a HTC Thunderbolt. The friend that owns it said he had a backup stock original rom that came with the phone, but all of sudden does not have it anymore. I am wondering if there is a way I can get the original stock Froyo 2.2 ROM that came with the Thunderbolt. Or even better the stock OTA Gingerbread 2.3 update that came in last week. I've found some stock roms online, but they all turned out to be invalid. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Here is one stock rom that I found:
PG05IMG_Mecha_VERIZON_WWE_1.70.605.0_Radio_1.39.00.0627r_NV_8k_1.41_9K_1.64_release_200422_signed.zip
but all the downloads of this file turn out be to invalid.
do you want to unroot? or do you want a rooted stock rom?
if you want to stay rooted,flash one of these in recovery:
froyo 1.70.605.0
gingerbread 2.11.605.3
RUUs if you want to unroot:
froyo 1.70.605.0 (note this is a .exe file)
gingerbread 2.11.605.3 this is a pg05img(install in hboot)
i checked the last 2 downloads and they are working fine.
need help
Hey guys, I was trying to unroot my thunderbolt but jacked things up. I had it wipe all date, now will not boot Its still rooted. When i go into the reboot mood its by Revolutionary. Info it displays where it gives me options of fastboot, recover, factory reset, simlock, hboot usb and image crc is
Revolutionary
MECHA XD SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.O4.1002
MICROP-/
RADIO-1.49.00.0406v_1
eMMC-BOOT
Idk if that helps. It doesnt reboot or does a looping process. Just stays at the white htc screen and doesnt say anything, and is not the screen where it says htc quietly brilliant. When i go into recovery 4ext recovery touch is whats available, current rom:unknown. Im fairly new so i would greatly appreciate any help, I like this phone alot and would hate to use something else. I dont care if after everything is said and done its still rooted or not. I have my personal info still on my card and a backup on my computer so im safe on that and dont care if i lose everything on the phone.
Hey,
I wish I would have know you wanted an unrooted thunderbolt, I would have traded you. Currently looking for a way to root ICS with out a million step process.
I recently rooted my 3vo with the HTC method so I could flash an ICS rom. For some reason I can't get it to boot into ICS though. When I power on the device after flashing, I get the first android splash screen but I can't get it to load any further than that. I couldn't find any clear answers as to why. As far as I can tell, twrp loaded the rom without any issues. I noticed that I still have S-ON but as I understand it, that doesn't matter. I have HBOOT 1.5
Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions/fixes?
Thanks in advance.
U need s-off else you cant flash anything to your system partition =]
Ah, thank you; I guess my information was wrong.
Does anyone have a good way to get S-OFF with the 3D?
Thanks again.
I have a HTC Sensation and i have flashed my phone several times with no problems. I have used other HTC too and flashed them as well.
When i wanted to flash my phone from Virtuous Inquisition (ICS) to Android Revolution HD (ICS) and i bumped into a problem as many other has as well. I would like to send away my phone to someone that could help me fix this since i have tried so many things and im out of ideas. What i most would like to do with the phone is to bring it back to factory default since the volume down button is broken and there is still waranty for this phone.
So if someone can fix this phone via ADB that would be great. I have tried to flash it myself and do all the things in my power via ADB to fix it but with no luck.
Is there anyone who can help me. I would prefere someone in southern part of sweden or denmark. Anywhere arround the Öresund area.
See it as an experiment/challenge to get the phone fixed. I consider it to be bonus if the phone can be revived and sent back to repair the hardware under the waranty.
I will of course give some reward for the person who can help me fix this phone in form of money or something. This will be discussed before i send it over to you.
Thanks in advance, and i hope there is someone out there that is intererested in this challenge.
So are you still rocking a custom ROM now ??
Download the correct RUU for your region, (if your SuperCID use any) and that will restore the phone back to stock.
Once completed, Use ADB to reboot recovery, fastboot, change CID to whatever RUU you used. Then use the code to turn S-ON (cant remember what it is) You could leave S-OFF and deny all knowledge of what it is. I doubt they would suspect much if the only mod is S-OFF.
So I just rooted (only root not turn s-off) my sensation and went to fast and went right away to flash a custom rom. After the boot screen has been on for sometime I look around the threads some more and see that I need s-off to flash custom roms. I didnt make a backup of my rom and it was incredibly stupid of me. I need help. Please let me know what I can do to get ANY version of android running on my phone. I have been searching the forums and will continue to search. Thanks
UPDATE: FIXED WITH THIS GUIDE I JUST FOUND
