A lot of you have been asking for how to unroot the EVO, either because you're having problems and want to start over or you are returning your phone and need to have it unrooted. I've had nothing but trouble in the past trying to unroot using other methods, especially using the RUU on a PC. It always fails for me. Well here is the most simple guide to unroot!! Thanks to regaw for helping me with this, hosting, and the Unrevoked team for the S-ON tool!
HOW TO UNROOT THE EVO VIDEO WALKTHROUGH
How to Unroot the HTC EVO 4G
◄●REQUIRED DOWNLOADS●►
Unrevoked S-On Tool
PC36IMG
◄●SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS●►
If you're comfortable with everything Android related(flashing, recovery, etc.) then its just 2 simple steps:
If you used Unrevoked Forever at any time, flash unrevoked-forever-son.zip from recovery until hboot shows S-ON
Flash the PC36IMG.zip from hboot
◄●DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS●►
If you need a little more guidance, follow these instructions.
◄●If you have used Unrevoked forever, start here●►
Make sure you have downloaded the files linked above. Do not extract them
Connect your phone to your computer via USB and change to "Disk Drive" by dragging down from the notification bar.
If you have NOT used Unrevoked Forever, skip to the instructions below. If you have, transfer unrevoked-forever-son.zip to the root of your sdcard. Do NOT transfer the PC36IMG yet. It'll only cause a hassle and make this take longer.
Once complete, power off the phone
reboot into the recovery by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. Then select RECOVERY.
Depending on what recovery you're using, you need to flash a zip. Select the unrevoked-foreverson.zip that you just transferred and complete the flash.
When complete, power off the phone. Reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. If it says S-ON at the top, select RECOVERY and skip to step 9. If it says S-OFF, repeat steps 5-7 Until it does.
◄●If you have NEVER used Unrevoked forever, start here●►
Power off the phone and reboot into the recovery by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. Then select RECOVERY.
Connect via USB. There is an option for this in both Amon RA and Clockwork.
Transfer the PC36IMG.zip to the root of your sdcard.
EJECT THE PHONE FROM THE COMPUTER and then turn off USB in Recovery
Power off the phone and reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen.
It should check the PC36IMG.zip and then ask you YES/NO to apply the update. Press VOL UP for YES
Once complete, Press VOL UP to reboot.
You are now unrooted!
I do believe that says ◄●If you have used Unrevoked forever, start here●► twice....
yeah it should say if you have NEVER used unrevoked
what about Amon Ra 1.8 it says S-OFF at the top of the screen? is that just for bootloader?

S-Off means unrevoked forever has been run. You will need to do the first part, to restore S-On.
Good, simple guide. One additional step if you've rooted via SimpleRoot is that you have to try and get back to the 1.40 PRI, which can be tedious. That might be worth mentioning.

Not quite. The previous post was correct. Its just the bootloader. Toasts root has an eng spl and will show s off. This is just the bootloader and will be flashed over. Unrevoked sets s off lower and is not flashed over.

Hey, so i did all the steps and since i ran Unrevokedforever i used the unrevokedson.zip and the s-on came on, but im a little unsure if the unrevokedforever properly took in the first place. Aside from that once i did all the steps and the pc.img was recognized, after it was complete it never asked if i wanted to apply the update it just went back to the hboot screen and nothing after that..... please help

My micro-usb is hosed - it's why I need to unroot so as to return it.
Is there an adb method of unrooting?

You could get a MicroSDHC adapter and transfer the files from your PC directly to your card. Sorry if that's not particularly helpful. :/

So, I used Toast's method for rooting and have the eng hboot... I'm looking to get back to complete stock so I can play with Unrevoked 3.2... Just to verify before I proceed, will this pc36img.zip take me back to the release version of hboot as well as stock 2.1?
(I have some testing I need to do on my evo before I root my boss', gf, and other buddy's phones... I don't want them to lose their 1.40 PRI... I'm still stuck at 1.34 unfortunately, hence the reason I just want to get back to stock hboot and do all the testing from my phone...)

I used toast's method as well as unrevoked forever. It would be nice to know if this would work.
Unlike you, I tested the new unrevoked method on a few friends evo's without a single prob.
I would like to start over, unroot, get 1.4 pri and be done with it till the next big thing comes along.

Hi,
Which android version will this PC36IMG.zip go back to? Stock 2.1 or Stock 2.2? Thanks.
Best part about this (and i dont know if it will work for everyone) is that once I did this I then did a hard reset (##786# method) and it updated the pri to 1.4
Good news! It worked!
I had used simple root and had the the eng hboot.
DId the 2 simple steps and now am back to stock 2.2 as if I never rooted my phone. Now that I know it works.... back to root I go.
P.s I have 1.4 pri now too.
Thanks!
I can not get this to work
hey can you help me out-I keep flashing unrevoked-forever-son.zip repeatedly and it doesnt work-It keeps saying s-off.I have clockworkmod recovery-I need to turn s-on because i have to take my evo back to a sprint repair shop.my 4g radio got hosed.I must have deleted the keys-I was able to correct my mac address however 4g will still not connect

I bet you have s-on but it says s-off. Confusing right? Well, if you used simple root and have the engineering bootloader it will still say s-off even after running unrevoked-forever-son. Run it a few times just to make sure then do part two.
Well, that's what I did and ONLY after part 2 did I get s-on.
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.

I was part of the beta test team. It worked fine then.
I ran it this weekend. It did the s-off after 3 tries (had to reboot computer one time between tries) then it offered to install the 4.0.1.4 clockworks mod recovery. Other than having to try several times, it worked great.
So is it confirmed if this will work for the Aria. Are there instructions on how to do this? I used Unrevoked when I first rooted. I haven't s-offed my phone because I don't understand SDK tools and using command prompt so I'm glad a "one click" finally came about.
How is this different from AlphaRevX? As I recall the second beta version had the option to install CWR as well. Does this version also install Superuser.apk?

You don't have to understand how to use the SDK tools or much of command prompt. Like when AlpharevX came, it basically did the work for you. All you had to do was download it and enter the beta key for your device and it does the rest.
I was finally able to S-0ff my phone! Took a while to get 3-4 hours but I just had to read A LOT and have patience. So I will say to anyone trying this don't panic just follow the instructions and read as much as you can. Chances are whatever problems you face have already been addressed somewhere.
My first issue came pretty early on when I kept getting invalid beta key's from the key generator. Turns out an "L" was really an "I". Once I got that I had to uninstall HTC sync and download the fastboot drivers. Once I did that Revolutionary took care of the rest. Once I was rooted I just restored my CM7 that I had backed up. Thank you all for the great writeups provided by XDA.
At Last !!!
After 2 days of buggering about I finally decided to start all over again. So I downgraded my Desire to its original and unrooted state, then I did the official OTA upgrade to give me Hboot 0.93.0001 ... and finally I ran Revolutionary on it from a Linux NetBook ...
I now have a properly S-Off-ed Hboot ... and I can start from scratch on formatting my new SD-Card, and looking at a few new de-branded roms ...
And the whole job only took about 45 minutes from beginning of the downgrade to the S-OFFed end.
THANKS GUYS ... Clean as a whistle
I used this method to root and get s off and now my power key is acting funky. I got a replacement aria and used this method then flashed cm7, now whenever I push the power button I get the power off menu instead of just turning screen off? Anybody have any ideas? I tried going back to stock Tom and same issue.

Yes - power button is a little more touchy - just a quick hit and it goes to screen off - any longer, you get the control screen

I think it is more then that, because even to turn on the phone it takes a few presses of the button. I think I'm going to return it completely to stock with s on and no root and start all over to see if it happens then.

Good luck with that, I don't think there is a way back to S-ON.

Okay a little background bought my aria used in January so since I had no warranty anyways I was rooted and running a custom rom within hours of getting the phone but this whole S-off thing had me a little worried because of the upgrade to a non rootable hboot if something would have went wrong I would be stuck. So been watching and reading since Alfarev showed up on the scene. I worked up the nerve tonight to go for it. I am happy to say I was S-off rooted and had my nand back up restored in half an hour. Just a couple things I wanted to mention the link in the original Alpharev thread now takes you to the same place this link in this thread does the Unrevoked+Alpharev and it was pretty easy after entering my key code the app s-offed my phone and then asked to install recovery I said yes and it grabbed the file on its own from the site and installed revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
So for those that are a little worried about trying this I have to say it was much easier than I thought it would be. Well that my story and thank you to team Revolutionary!!!!!
Edit
Also special thanks to Gene Poole for the 2.2 flash update zip he made.

i try too whit reloock the bootloader, root and unroot my cell pgone but dont found
please help me. thanks
sorry for my bad english
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.

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.

TC Inspire 4g Unbricking Guide
In this guide I will be showing you how to unbrick the HTC Inspire 4g for AT&T.
Requirements:
1. Your bricked phone (of-course)
2. HTC-Sync
3. USB Cable
4. HTC Inspire 4g Gingerbread RUU
5. S-ON
Steps:
1. Download HTC-Sync from: http://dl3.htc.com/application/HTCSyncv3.0.5579.exe
2. Download HTC Inspire Gingerbread RUU from: http://dl4.htc.com/RUU_Ace_Gingerbr...60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe
3. Install HTC-Sync
4. Boot into Bootloader mode and plug your phone into your pc
5. Run the RUU executable
6. It will take a moment to start, but when it does, go through the steps and it should start to flash the firmware
7. (Optional) Sometimes the process will freeze. It is ok though, open task manager, close the process, unplug your phone, pull the battery, and start over the process until you get it to work. (It worked first time for me.)
Then your phone should restart after it finishes flashing. Then your phone will be unbricked!
Thank you for looking and I hope this helps you in some way!

flashing the rom is the problem. it wouldnt let me into the recovery. the steps above actually help. now i just need to root the thing
I notice the bootlaoder step is vague. It needs to be in fastboot. So select fastboot from hboot so that you see fastboot USB on screen then run ruu.

Your sdcard is corrupted and won't work as a goldcard. Get a NEW one or one that has not been improper dismounted. By the way, if you phone were bricked then you would have nothing to do. You just got stuck.
Get the new sdcard and then flash the PD98IMG.zip file that the Hack Kit downloaded (it is in the PD98IMG folder and it is usually called PD98IMG-GBx.zip, being x a number. Of course make sure that you rename it PD98IMG.zip once in the sdcard).
Then boot in hboot and wait to be prompted to update. After that, you will be downgraded, just re run the hack kit and you will be ready to go. SALUD!

Not with the same card, as far as I know. You need to get a new one. The card tends to get corrupted when it's improperly unmounted.

Recently tried to return to stock RUU via ace advanced hack kit. During the return to stock there was an error and my phone attempted to reboot. I currently can't get past the htc boot up screen. It powers on, shows htc screen, then fades to black. Attempted to hold power and vol button with no luck. Anyone have any suggestions how to bypass this? Can't get my pc to recognize my device so not really sure if I can push a new rom to it or not.

You can flash this PD98IMG. It will take a long time to react to stuff though so you will have to be patient. It's the inspire gingerbread hboot.

After that use this PD98IMG to install the gingerbread Rom. You will still be s off but on 2.47.502.7.

Well, you failed to read and follow the manual and besides you even flashed a froyo Ruu when you are told not to so?
conclusion: messed bootloader. You will have to fix it yourself. I decided not to help lazy people anymore. What first happened to you was Normal and detailed in the effen manual. If you had read it you would be enjoying your phone now.
