I was running Venom ROM ICS and wanted to try out the JB version so I download it and it boots up and naturally, I start to play around. I installed titanium backup again to get my things back and it tells me I have no root. I say whaaaaa!? I then download a rootchecker app from the store and it confirms I have no root. How the world did that happen?
I panicked and booted into recovery and restored the backup I made before flashing the ROM. Now I can get back into fastboot and recovery but when I try to boot up it is a black screen. Should I RUU and start all over or am I salvageable?

First, this post isn't for most people. If you want to flash your radio via recovery, see HERE. This way is easier in most cases. Otherwise, continue with this post.
Note: Flashing a radio by any method can brick your phone if something goes wrong... which it shouldn't. Flash at your own risk. It worked for me, for what that is worth.
HBOOT Flashable Radio Download.
Download the file, rename it to HERCIMG.zip.
Place HERCIMG.zip on the root (top level) of your SDcard.
Reboot into bootloader, or hold VOLUME DOWN + POWER from power off.
Make sure you are in HBOOT mode, if not read the screen on how to get there.
Once HBOOT is up, it will automatically find HERCIMG.zip and scan it.
You will see it found a radio and wants you to press "ACTION" to continue.
Press the trackball once, then wait. Once it's finished you can reboot.
You are done.
Thanks to Nfinitefx45 for posting the radio in his ROM thread, post #2.
S-OFF Method I used can be found here.
Thanks for this. My university blocks 4shared (along with Megaupload and Rapidshare ). It's sometimes a pain to get the file I need. Thankfully I had s-off.

No problem. By the way, if you need a dropbox link you should just ask... plenty of people here use it, or so it seems.
I can mirror the other radio zip if you want it.
thanks for the heads up, flashed this earlier today and now I get much better reception, so far anyway

Oh, if it wasn't for this thread, I wouldn't have even known the radio was already extracted
I was going to wait for HTC to post the RUU on their website and extract it on my own. But thanks to you, I'm now up to date and getting slightly better reception.

No it's not the same, it's not rooted or tampered with, and the installation method is different. If you want to completely unroot your phone go flash the stock ruu
We don't need people like you complaining about roms you don't like, but you don't see me posting about that now do you?

No you will not loose those things. The first post describes how to get into bootloader after flashing the update. Only your system partition (rom) and kernel will be the official ruu images.
I just noticed there may be a problem with the name of the .zip. There is a gap in the name so you will probably have to rename it and delete the gap in order for the recovery to be able to flash it.
I will work on fixing it later on but for now renaming it won't hurt the update at all
Thanks again, you have just created my new "fall back plan"...

Yeah this is good to unroot back to the latest factory update
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA Premium App
This is also good for devs to get a chance to try the stock ota if they want to mess around with it. That was the main reason for this update. Hopefully someone will help to get the bootloader unlocked for people who buy a new evo shift . But luckily this update doesn't already have the locked bootloader in it

I just flashed this, and with all my problems, it flashed, but when i reboot, i get to the sprint splash screen, and it just blinks there. So I am currently restoring back to my problematic rom. How can I get the blinking away? That's the only problem.
Are you wiping your system partition?

Here is the chain of events:
I was running CleanROM 4.1. I did a full wipe, flashed a different ROM (KingCobra1X 1.2). Didn't like it, decided to flash back. When I tried installing CleanROM, the Aroma installer didn't actually do anything. It told me the ROM was installed but wasn't. I rebooted, it was still Xi40. Rebooted back into recovery, tried flashing again, same result. Could not mount SD card. Tried rebooting AGAIN, and that is when it went completely to hell. If I try to go into recovery through the bootloader menu, I get the HTC screen.
Everything I have tried has made things worse, does anyone have any idea how to help me fix this?

Let me guess, you're using CWM recovery?
I can not find this for the life of me. All of the links I find are dead and I need to install it this way because when I do it through fastboot it just sticks on the HTC screen.
I have TWRP installed but I can't use it to flash MIUI because it errors. Would using CWM to flash MIUI even fix the error?
