From what I'm getting from this, you want to RUU to 2.2 (Froyo) . If that's what you want to do in order to Full Root. Then power down the Phone. After it powers down, toggle the Volume Button down, and hold it. Then while still holding the Volume button down press the Power Button. It will put you into HBoot. Use the Volume Buttons to navigate up, or down. Navigate to Fastboot, choose it by pressing the power button once. Plug in the USB Cable, and run the 2.2 RUU from your Destop. It will prompt you through the steps. Noticed that your little flag says your in Mexico. If your having trouble with the English explanation, PM me. I will write it up for you in Spanish .
Tanks! I finally root and A-off my EVO shift.
I install newsense Rom, but what is you recomendation?

Glad you got it sorted out . Was wondering if you ever got it sorted out. As for newSense Rom is a very good choice. I would suggest running it for a while to really decide how like it. If after a while you decide you want to try something else, do a Nandroid Backup first. Then do a full wipe and flash your new Rom. That way if you do not like the new Rom, you can just Nandroid Back.

The same thing happened to me, I tried installing a Rom with 2.3.4 unlocked bootloader and s-on.. It just sat at the htc logo but i made a backup ^_^ lol.. I ALWAYS backup when I'm uncertain of something.. I miss how easy it was just to use z4root to root phones Thats all it took with my hero cdma..

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.

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

I am trying to root my EVO. I once had it rooted and unrooted it...i think...with unrEVOked. I wanted to root the phone and install a custom rom again but I cant seem to get it to root.
I have tried unrEVOked(and followed all the easy steps to root on a forum....more then once), and once I got the initial screen were it sais to plug the phone in and make sure it has USBdebugging on, I do just that and nothing happens. so....
I tried to use Simple Root .1. Once again, found a forum on how to root with this program and followed the steps...more then once...and still no luck. With Simple Root I watched a video and in the video the prompt screen said that it was pushing a file to the phone and then it is suppose to go to the HBOOT screen....which does not happen on my phone, it skips that step and tells me to go to step 2, but I haven't completed step 1 yet....
I really dont know if me rooting the phone befor is causing this, but if anybody has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank

If you're on the OTA gingerbread update then you won't be able to root.
I have not updated yet. It asked me to but i was about to root so didn't feel the need to update the HTC software.....
So you're not on 2.3? I don't have an evo, but the rroot process was pretty easy for me using unrevoked. USB debugging on, set to charge only. (Fastboot off, if that's an option in settings>power.)
when i first got the phone i rooted it with unrevoked and yea, it was easy....
But yes i actually am on 2.3.3.... Dont know if that is gingerbread or not...
here is my software info...
Android Version -2.3.3
Baseband Version -2.15.00.05.02
Kernel -2.6.35.10-g4e39384 [email protected] #1
Build number -4.22.651.2 CL60865 release-keys
Software number -4.22.651.2
Browser version -WebKit/533.1
PRI version -2.15_003
PRL Version -60680
Today, I randomly checked to see if there was a HTC update, and there was and it said that 2.3 (Gingerbread) 4.24.651.1 was available.....I dont know if any of that helps....
Can you get into recovery? What is the status of your hboot security?
Power off. Pull battery for 1 min. Hold volume down. Press power.
Report here if S on or S off please.
Try going into recovery.

HBOOT = s-off
as far as recovery, it shows a phone with a red triangle with an exclamation point.....
Good news! You are still rooted! (technicaly, S-off is not root, but just as good) Jump over to the EVO 4G forums and start reading! And asking questions here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=652
You can flash a recovery that will allow you to, in turn, flash whatever ROM you would like...
I suggest Amon-Ra recovery.
Good luck!
I'm kind of surprised that you were having problems with unrevoked. That is probably because you somehow upgraded to 2.3.3. Unrevoked used the initial exploit of rageagainstthecage, and this was blocked in 2.3.3. However, you obviously used unrevoked some time BEFORE you received 2.3.3. Either way, just reflash a recovery pc36img.zip version of Amon Ra found here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
then download a ROM, I suggest MikG or Synergy to the root of your SD card and flash via recovery.
THANKS lil_bono. i really appreciate your help...
Ok so i went to the HBOOT screen and clicked recovery and it failed....so is a flashrecovery different or am i going to still run into the same problem of it giving me that red triangle??
Youre welcome. Yes. Flashed recovery can be of different types and is what you need. It will have locally packaged commands instead of the stock adb connection only. Head over to the EVO forums and start searching and reading.

Hello, I have a question
I had on my sensation a custom rom
But i wanted back on a stock rom.
So now, i flashed a PG58IMG,but I have not thought about it that I no longer have root.
I've successfully instaled it, but when I start the mobile phone now I'm just the htc logo and no further.
So guys, anyone can help me with my problem.
I Think he bootloader is broken
I recommend going on youtube to find a solution, just search "how to get back to stock rom" or something like that, i am sure something will pop up, and see where you went wrong, if you did, or google it

A sure way for going back to stock is flashing a RUU. You'll still be s-off and you need to check that the RUU is compatible with your cid.

Pull out the battery, insert it, get into bootloader by pressing and holding vol down + power button hold them until you'll get into bootloader. Connect to a computer, change on fastboot mode and You are ready to flash a RUU
hi all, i am a novice at all this stuff, and i am sorry for posting probably a similar thread to what others may have said but my problem is a little different. i am having a problem with my wifes att network htc inspire 4g. i rooted it last year with the ace hack kit. the problem is that it is stuck in ace hack kit clock work recovery. it will not start up at all unless it is attched to the computer, and thats when it will go to cw recovery. it will vibrate 3 times and blink a red led and the screen goes blank unless i press the volume down button but it doesnt stay lit up only when i hit the vol down button. then when i hit an option by hitting the power button the phone resets to cw recovery again. if i try to acess hboot, it vibrates 5 times and lights up yellow. i have tried wiping, formatting, and everything but reboot to cw recovery again. from the posts that i have read similar to this problem, everyone says to get another rom and flash from hboot. being that i cant get to hboot any other ideas.

If you wiped and formatted, then you've probably erased whatever ROM you did have. At this point I'd probably use the ACE Hack Kit again, using the option to return everything to stock.... then use it again to re-root the phone. Then I'd install 4ext Recovery instead of CW. Then use 4ext to flash another ROM. I'd recommend Ice Cold Sandwich, found in the DHD development forum.

That's probably what happened. If she didnt iniate it then it probably auto updated. She's not to technical about that stuff she probably ly was hitting button's like she does. Any ideas on what to do from here. I could probably get a older romantic for it but the way it is now I can't flash it.
Best guess is to flash a ruu.
Try uninstalling the htc drivers (if you have them) and install them again to see if the computer recognizes the cell.

So i read tutorials about rooting, and finally got it rooted with the help of this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632553
After i got it rooted, i thought you can put roms just like with Samsung phones. So i downloaded this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115520 I put it on the sdcard and flashed via CWM and now its stuck, even tho it said everything went ok.
My question is that is this fixable and do you have to do something with HTC phones before flashing a rom?
