I need to take my phone back to Sprint but I'm unable to unroot via the RUU zip that's been posted because my display is completely dead. I would guess there's probably a way to flash back to stock using ADB but I'm not exactly an expert. If anyone can help with this, your assistance would be very much appreciated.
You could try running this ruu http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909554. It's ran from your pc rather than loading a zip in hboot.

Well if the displays dead, they wont be able to tell your rooted or nand unlocked honestly.
Edit: Crump beat me to it, and his ideas better lol

Ok so i have the htc inspire and i tried to root it today, which didnt work out lol... but anywase whenever i try to play music or do anything that involves sound on the phone it dosnt work? i have a feeling that it may be a kernel issue but im not sure... my kernel is 2.6.32.2d now i dont know what the stock kernal is but im pretty sure this isnt it, so if you guys know anything about this or what has happened to my phone please tell me... thanks
It might help if you state what method you used to try to root, how far you got, and why it failed.

It sounds like you are still on the downgraded Rom which is a desire hd rom.

You need to elaborate a little more if you want some assistance.
Do you have s-Off?
What is your baseband number? That will indicate what radio you have and will give others an idea of where in the process you are.
Assuming you made it far enough in the process to get s-Off, you can just flash the ota stock ROM by attn1, which will have the OTA radio in it, if it turns out you are on the downgraded ROM/radio.
If you have anything other than the stock kernel/ROM on your phone, then the rooting was at least partially successful. You probably just need to get clockworkmod recovery installed correctly so you can install custom roms.

Yup, that looks like the downgraded radio the hack kit leaves you with.
S-Off basically means you can flash stuff. "Security off"
So as Gene said, you're partially through the process. You just need to get a good ROM/radio on.

You have an incorrect root, that happened to me. You need finish all the steps, when i did the root guide the software failed and the sound dissapeared. After push the software (to get root) and the root was successful, i recovered the sound.

ok man i just want to get my phone back to stock... is there a way that i could just do a FULL wipe of the device? ive tried doing it through the hboot way and going through the settings and doing the restore but both were unsuccesful
Just flash it eith rom i had same problem i use attn1 method i flashed with rom coredroid and all is fine
htc desire hd/inspire
Now that you are basically rooted there is not necessarily an easy way to get back to plain stock.
It can take a while for the average user I believe using the s on tool... but considering I do not have all of the info I will let someone else answer your question in full.

Go back to h boot, if it says "Ship s-off on the very top of the screen you should be all set. Make sure clockworkmod is installed. if not download rom manager from market and flash cwm through rom manager. Next go to the development form and find attn1's stock OTA update with radio. Download the file to your computer, place it on the root of your sd card. Make sure the file is named PD98IMG.zip, turn off phone and boot into h boot, when it says apply update? Press vol up and watch the magic happen. Also make sure there is no other files named PD98IMG.zip on your sd card as this will cause trouble. You will still be rooted with s-off but that's ok, I mean your were already trying to root, just cause you lost sound doesn't mean you should be afraid of rooting. Once you fix your problem and get a good handle on things, you'll be in love!

No, you can not. Because the radio isn't updated, you have the half of the steps.
You need finish all the steps of the root guide to have root and the sound working.
Haha I've flashed just about every Rom here and my wife says you keep doing that and your gonna break it and your not getting another phone can't you just leave it alone

Allright guys im all set now. my phone had s- on and it was on android 2.2 so i went to at&t and the guy played around with it for a few then said "your phones gay, ill just switch it" lol so problem is solved thanks for all trying to help
My phone's flex cable is damaged some how and I need to unroot it and turn s-on, anyone able to give me some helpful links? I searched and not sure if anything I found was still viable to use.
I am running 2.3 and have updated radio.
Just run the ruu. You can get the 2.2 ruu from the hboot downgrade thread or the 2.3 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335068

Thanks, to add to it, my screen now won't come on at all, any one can give me a bit of step by step?
Will the screen come on while in bootloader or it doesn't work at all? Either way, as long as your pc will recognize the phone you should be able to run the RUU exe. Just plug in your phone with it powered on and run the RUU on your pc.
Will that turn my s-off to s-on also?

Yup, the RUU will bring you completely back to stock with s-on.

1. Get odin
2. Google search your phones factory firmware
3. Google search how to Factory Reset from boot cause im to lazy to go that far. its all over this forum.
and for the dude above me. just cause you have superuser on you phone does not mean it is rooted. have you used applications like setCPU, if so does it allow root access. if not you do not have a rooted phone. superoneclick. use it. its geat
Yeah, Odin is your best bet to go. Make sure you get the correct firmware. Whatever you do do some research on the stock Galaxy S 4G Gingerbread firmware if you make a mistake loading the wrong files and letting odin to go to work you will dead brick the phone. There will be a still chance on recovering it but you will need a person that can do that and there are some here, they will charge you like $30 for it at least. Good luck
If you have those on your phone then you are rooted

Guys, I really need help. My phone won't turn on after I installed Blackbean. Initially I was running Blackbean then I tried Jellybam then I decided to go back to Blackbean. After I reloaded the software, I've selected to go back to bootloader and then it won't turn on anymore. I am not sure if I bricked the phone coz I didn't do anything wrong. My phone is the unlocked T-Mobile Germany version. If anyone has suggestion please post it here. I will appreciate all the help. Thank you.

thanks for the reply. to answer your question no sir. it wont turn on anymore.
So you can't even go into the bootloader? Maybe your battery has run flat, this happened to me once. I just plugged it in for a few minutes and it started up again normally.

Plus if he already flashed those roms, would assume he is flashing boot, has low hboot, or using Flash Image GUI--may be wrong--
use the All in one tool kit and get the stock boot.img from kiln, assuming you're able to get into fastboot.
My M8 died in the middle of the doing the update, and the it would boot to the verizon screen and stay stuck there. I tried wiping data and doing the factory reset. I did a rampdump. Nothing seems to be working. I feel like I have to download to the sd card and can flash a stock rom or something. Can anyone help? Anyone have any ideas? This phone is not rooted, everything is OTA.
