evo noob needs help!!

im currently rooted via visionary and i want to go bak to stock ruu. my phone doesnt seem to connect to my computer every since the root and i cant use htc sync to run the ruu. i have sdk tools and when i try and download the drivers it says that i already have the updated driver (which i dont it comes up as unknown device) the only reason i want to unroot is to see if that will solve the connection to comp problem. i tried to flash the pc36img but that comes up bad and installation is aborted
any suggesstions on ways to either unroot or get drivers up and rolling?
driod version 2.3.3
kernel 2.6.32.28 scarykernel #24
cyanogenmod7 nightly
thanks in advance

Try taking you phone off usb debugging in settings-application-development then connecting to a comp to connect to htc sync

Put the zip file on the root of your sdcard power the phone off hold volume down and power it will boot to bootloader then it will search for the file once it finds it it should ask you to hit up I think to apply and once its done reboot it....bootloader and recovery are different

I had the same problem at first try to use a different sd card. Make sure its a blank card and format it using the phone or your computer, then put the file on the card and try to load it in the bootloader.

Your going to lol when you figure out why you can't flash the zip. Recovery doesn't like spaces in your path(s). */ruu image/*
You need to remove the space. Example: */ruuimage/* or */ruu_image/* or */ruu-image/*
Something to this effect will fix the issue

I also forgot and it should have been listed I think you have to be on a sense rom in order for bootloader to load the file it should only be nammed pc06img.zip on the root of your sd card and bootloader should automatically do its thing, newkidds ruu don't get "flashed"

steps
1. rename zip to PC06IMG.zip
2. put on ROOT of sdcard (not in any folder)
3. power off phone
4. power on phone while holding vol. down
5. Once bootloader comes up (white screen with green/black/red text) it will initialize the sequence and automatically flash the zip. YOU DO NOT FLASH THIS ZIP IN RECOVERY

it says model id incorrect and when all of the image names pops up when it reads the sd card all of them say PG not PC so i switch it and when try and load it thats what it says?
is the image wrong ?
does anyone have the right image?
thanks again
ys15

hey guys
thanks for the help .
i downloaded the image again and formatted my card via computer (fat32) and then put it on the root and walah back to stock. thank god because tomorrow i have a appointment at sprint to get a new one . i thought i wasnt going to have any luck.
just like i thought when i rooted my phone somehow the connection to the computer was messed up becuase as soon as i went back to stock i got all of the options bak. was this just the way i rooted my phone (visonary).
but all in all im back to stock thank you guys for all of the help

Uninstalling cwm

Is it possible to remove cwm and install the original recovery without flashing a total rom?

Yes, you would need to get the recovery from an uploaded rom with the same build number as yours. e.g European 1.35.401.1
1. download the file attached. That is for clockwork recovery mod working for the sensation.
Find an RUU in the development thread or OTA update collections with the same build number.
replace recovery.img in the zip you downloaded below with your recovery.img from the official rom. Just extract it from rom.zip and then copy it into the PG58img.zip
2. Copy PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card) after you have changed the recovery.img in it.
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into Bootloader/HBOOT screen(See how to get Hboot post above)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android (normal screen with homescreen)
6. Remove PG58IMG from your memory card and YOU should now be back to stock recovery

Thanks mate!
Ill test it out tomorrow, really need some sleep atm.

Seemed to work like a charm, for me anyway. I'm back to original recovery again on my Sensation.
Was very worried when I saw what Mixmaven said about not being able to charge a dead battery due to CWM, on p.54 of Dev section Revolutionary thread.
Thanks ikhzter, for all the guides and help for us noobs.
I'm content with just having a rooted, unbranded, stock rom for now. No more vodafone logos and apps is like an early Christmas pressie in itself for me

anyone got a stock recovery from 1.35.401.1? to replace the CWM recovery

If you download the 1.35.401.1 RUU exe, and get to the rom.zip from in that, there is a recovery_signed.img within that rom.zip.

and how would I do that? (looks like i'm a noob on that area)

I'm also interested to know how to do...

U can open the exe with winzip or winrar...

The attached file has had the Clockwork recovery replaced with the standard recovery from RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1....
I just put it on my sdcard, powered the phone off, powered on whilst pressing VOL DOWN. It found it and asked if I wanted to start the update.
I did this, and now have the stock recovery.

Will it do a whipe?
Just whant back s-on so i can update original ota 2.3.4 but dont whant to do a wipe

Hi, don't worry. It is because whenever you are holding your power+volume- button , it boots into bootloader or HBOOT mode. This mode is intended to flash firmware package . ( i.e radio, HBOOT, Splash etc ) . That is why the bootloader searches your sdcard for the firmware package( PG58IMG.zip).
When it can not find it , it waits for user input , then u select recovery and press the power button.
In fact do not keep any PG58IMG.zip file on your sdcard if you do not want to flash your firmware. If this screen annoys you , you can use QUICKBOOT app from the market. By using this app you can directly boot into recovery. Alternatively u can open a terminal on your phone and type : "reboot recovery" . It will directly boot into recovery. If you are comfortable with adb , then type from your pc in the adb terminal " adb reboot recovery"..

yes thanks but now my phone is stuck in boot loop and i s wipe it then try to reinstall ics rom and still in boot loop any suggestions ?

Now that problem sounds more like a bad flash, re-download the ROM, check MD5 sums and if they match, reflash the ROM. If the MD5 Sums dont match then try another ROM

checked came back ok with a tick so isnt that ill try to install the old gingerbread rom then upgrade.
grrrrr getting frustrated now lol

nope didnt fix it still in boot loop any fix suggestions be greatfully received im lost now as to what to do.

This can be closed now sorted

Are u using an ics Rom? Ics 4.0.1 has a dedicated firmware to flash. So also ics 4.0.3 has its separate one. Search for there respective firmware and flash. You will b ok.

Happy to see that you have solved your problem.
Just one request , while asking any question try to give your HBOOT and Radio version i.e the full details of your bootloader screen. This will help people to understand your problem better.
Happy androiding on sensation !!

ClockWork Mod wont install in Recovery

I've got a Sensation (I think its a Phillipenes issue) which was upgraded to ICS 4.0.3.
Basically I've managed to complete HTC Dev Unlock, then a few days later I lost Wi-Fi connection, so have been trying to continue with installing a Custom (or even the original) ROM in an attempt to fix it.
I've now done Junoptobear to get true S-OFF
Got root access
But cant get Clockwork Mod to install in Recovery...
I've installed ROMmanager Premium and used it to install the latest Clockwork Mod - it states its downloaded and completed but when I go to the bootloader and select Recovery it flashes the white HTC screen for a brief second then back to the bootloader.
I've tried to manually download the Clockwork Mod file and install to Recovery but I get the same issue.
Does anyone have any ideas?? Many thanks!

Hi there you can install 4ext recovery you can get the file here in xda or even from the play store. Many of us use 4ext because it has many options and is very easy to use.personally I prefer 4ext. All I did was download from the play store and opened the app follow directions choose version of recovery and it will flash from the application. I was already rooted and soff when I did it but it's very easy to do. I really think you will like 4 ext recovery. You already have s OFF and root so it should not be a problem. Best of luck to you. I hope this helps! As I mentioned most of us use 4 ext recovery and I doubt you will be disappointed. Good luck.

I may be wrong but this sorta sonuds like a problem abother member was having the other day. I think they may not have a eng Hboot installed. Question why not just let them flash the recovery using the PG58IMG.zip via bootloader?

ClockWork Mod now installed in Recovery!

help with ext4 recovery!

Hi all, I have an s-on unlocked htc sensation. Last night I went to bed and woke up to a phone that was dead (forgot to plug in) so I charged it a little bit and then turned it on..only to find that it just stays at the white HTC screen. I then went into recovery and tried to reinstall a clockwork mod recovery(which has worked plenty of times) but this time it said "the folder does not contain any zip files, so I thought, Oh well time to do a fresh install anyway, so I went into the 4ext recovery/wiped everything, then turned on the smart ext..ran super wipe, then installed the elegancia 4.0 2.7, everything went fine...until it finished, EXT4 recovery then says something like creating backup..blah blah blah..then says backup failedthere was an error processing the command (not the exact terminology)..so then i let it restart and again it is stuck at the white htc screen. I then reboot into recovery again, and it says smart 4ext has been disabled, go to tools etc to re-enable..report your error blah blah blah..I just dont get it, i have done this many times, but I am clueless on why it wont boot..i have the latest files etc too 1.27.00 bootloader as well, I am unable to do anything with adb right now..I am at work, but really need a phone today..can someone help possibly?..Thanks a million....Larry

Not possible as you would be using the kernel when you are booting the phone (just like how formatting c drive (where windows is normally installed) is not possible when using windows)

It'll be easier to help if you can provide exact errors you are getting and exactly what you did. Try installing an AOSP ROM and let us know the error you are getting. I've never used smart EXT so maybe let it be disabled and try.
