I had rooted my T-bolt, and tried several ways to update the radio, and none took. I also tried to download it straight to my phone, which sent me back to Stock! Yesterday while trying Revolutionary, to get my HBOOT, I saw I was still on S-OFF with the 2.5 radio. Every Root app tells me that I am NOT ROOTED! Am I or not?!? Help!

Does Revolutionary give me root?
No. You will need to flash this zip file from recovery.

I installed 2.07.605 leaked version on my rooted Froyo using hboot, bad mistake on my part, because I did not flash it and the recovery option in hboot does not work for me. I did not read about locking the bootloader method by Shadowmite until afterwards. Does anyone have a method to change the bootloader to an earlier version so that I can obtain root access or revert to Froyo?
I have tried to put fixed bootloader files and the original stock Froyo in PG05IMG files on my SD card to force an update, but that does not work either.

Go to http://revolutionary.io and use their tool. I don't think the old manual root method will work on that build as it is. !!!BUT!!! Be warned: getting back to stock unrooted s-on after using Revolutionary (like for a warranty replacement) is not a simple task at this point in time.

I got through and got S-off. I cannot get into recovery to load the su zip file. Any ideas?
I figured it out.
So recently I decided to delve into the world of Rooting. So i did a little research and finally decided it was time.
So I rooted my Evo 4G LTE using regawmod
Well it worked all fine and dandy. Until I decided to unroot and use an RUU so that i could root in a different method and flash a ROM on it then.
First i went into SuperSU and told it to unroot. I wasn't worried about trying to remove the tampered tag as i was just goin to root the device again. But SuperSU told me that the unroot failed.
So i continue to find a different method, more thorough. I came across a guide on HTC hacks on how to unroot the device, reflashes the original ROM on it and as well removes the tampered tag. I try it and use the correct (or so i think) RUU (the 1.13.651.1). The RUU told me it couldn't do it and gave me the 155 error, wrong ROM image as i have found out. In the actual RUU process it says to update from 1.13.651.1_R2 to 1.13.651.1 (I'm not sure if that is pertinent information)
So i recover boot the phone back up and it doesn't seem to have any problems. Except SuperSU is gone (tried reinstalling and got the no SuperSU binary error when i ran it)
So any help as to how to flash my phone back to normal so i can go about my business?

So just grab any ruu and just do the rom again.
will that work since i have S-on still or since its unlocked.
Well, you have the 2.11.605.9 radios.
You'll need the 2.11.605.9 RUU, which I can't find it after numerous searches.
Try flashing this.
This is the full RUU for 2.11.605.19
http://goo.im/devs/trter10/PG05IMG.zip
***Credit to Trter10 for this full RUU***
You may have to root again and get s-off, flash the 2.11.605.19 radios, and then try flashing this RUU.
The 2.11.605.19 radios can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605557
I'm not sure if you'll have to do the instructions above or if flashing this RUU will put the radios on there. I'm 99.9% sure this RUU contains the radios as well.

I downloaded and ran the .19 and it completes and goes back to the Hboot screen
it looks the same to me and still having issues loading roms
how do I get the s-off again with only recovery and clockworkmod
I was able to get back into the 4.0.3 leaked Rom
but a lot of errors come up and not able to enable the USB
i got the Debug working and now the software number says 7.00.605.2 710RD
should i try to re-root now or is there a way to get the stock rom onto the phone
anything will help guys
When you flashed it, you should have then tried to unroot.
Right after it was flashed, it should have put you on 2.11.605.19

The errors you are getting are because it is trying to format the file system in ext4 and the kernel can only run ext3.

when i try to unroot i get the error from the all in one that the caralina is not there and it exits
so i cant root that way
is there is a way to root from the recovery/clockworkmod or from the 4.0.3 leaked ICS
how would i kick this back to the Ext3 from the ext 4
thanks for the all the replys
man i feel like a newbie when i ask these questions
I'm on this forum all the time and read other issues.and waiting for the newest rom to hit and when your rooted you feel great knowing this is your phone and not Verizon's.
but know that i broke the screen, i got the new phone and its all rooted and got my rom on it and everything
just the phone i have to return is just jacked and i dont want to get hit with the 150$ non-return fee because its S-on and unlocked and not even a stock rom

Try flashing a stock ruu and an older radio if you're using the leaked radios. The tool can't unroot the ics leak with the leaked radios. I would just download the stock ruu and fast boot flash it. Then try unrooting.

That's what I was saying, but he's on the 2.11.605.9 radios... and I couldn't find the 2.11.605.9 RUU anywhere.
Would he have to s-off and install the 605.19 radios and then flash the 605.19 RUU?

He would have to be s off to flash the other radio. Upgrading to a higher version should work s on. You can't downgrade without s off.

I know i looked for the RUU for about 2 hours last night. every link i tried was down.
is there only one RUU i can use? with the radio im stuck on.
not sure what the fast boot will do for me if the Rom or RUUs are not sticking to the phone after i try to update them
if that makes any sense....im not even sure i understand lol
So what files should i flash to in order to go up to a level that matches to a ROM
This way i can re-root, or do i need to just keep onlooking till i find a .9 RUU to match my radio
so i'm not rooted now because i have S-on. right?
but how do i have clockworkMod installed and can get load a leaked 4.0.3 to load?
All i really want to do is stock this and S-on so can return it lol

Use the all in one tool again to root and obtain s-off, and then go back 13 posts to where I posted the RUU for 2.11.605.19 and the link to the 2.11.605.19 radios.
Once you are s-off after using the all in one rooting tool, flash the radios. Once you flash the radios, flash the RUU and run the tool again to unroot.

any other ways to root
i tried to reinstall SU and got it to say installed

If you're running an ICS ROM, you'll need to drop down to another ROM based off of the 2.11.605.19 software.

I have tried a few different roms all 2.3.2 or 2.3.5 and the ROM completes but when i restart the phone for the new rom to load
it just drops me back to the clockwork-mod screen. the only one that gets past that screen is ICS
not sure what I'm doing that messing it up. i have loaded about 15 roms in the past and all have loaded......damn the S-on lol
Its like it remembers that i had that on the phone so its ok to have ICS but when i go to any other its like it just does not work
I just unbricked my phone (actually bricked it twice trying to get s-off...nightmare) and I ended up with a fully stock evo with 1.19 hboot, stock recovery, s-on, and no root. I was wondering if I were to accept OTA Jellybean, would I be able to root it with one of the existing methods. My goal is to get the latest radio on my phone and have root access. Please let me know.

if you take the OTA it will upgrade your hboot to 2.09 which currently cant get S-off. That being said, several people have reported that using OTA rootkeeper found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper&hl=en has enabled them to keep root when taking the OTA jellybean. If you take the OTA jelly bean you will get the firmware and the newest radio as you are seeking.
if this helps you please hit the thanks button.
Took OTA, then rooted and installed TWRP and now running MeanBean. Got the new radio and have root access...its all I wanted.

Ok, so long story short, I got fed up with the latest update (4.05.605.14) downloading onto my phone and then failing every time it tried to install itself. Deferring didn't work and it would do it about 5 times a day. So I decided to try and manually install it. That was a mistake, as I think I used a method that was for S-Off instead. I ended up with a phone that wouldn't boot past the 4G LTE screen. I have searched the forums all day and tried everything I could, including trying to install the 3.14.605.12 RUU to take me back to stock. Even locked I can't get it to flash. It checks the PH98IMG.zip but when it installs it fails and says that the "Main Version is older!" So at this point I'm lost. If any of you have any ideas and can help me get my phone back it would be so great.
Thanks in advance.

You might just need to flash the proper kernel. Pull the boot.img from the ROM based on the OTA (linked below) and flash it and see if that does it. s-off phones don't need to flash kernel separately.

Is that going to work for an RUU? The RUU will want to actually change the hboot version to an older one.
I think I saw an RUU feature in Hassoon's Rezound Toolkit as well.
You can always flash just a radio or hboot later if you want.
It does have a Mainver Error Fix listed so it would be worth a try. Also downloading the kernel to try and flash that. Thank you both for the suggestions. Hopefully they keep coming in because I've tried about everything I've seen in the forums to date...
well neither of those worked. The all in one couldn't even find the phone. Guess I severely borked it... :crying:
borkness
Gonna be a lot of work, but you may have to re-educate your phone with
RUU 3.14.xxxx.xx.
After that, install AmonRa recovery. Then mebbe a custom rom or your old nandroid backup.
That's all assuming you can get into fastboot-usb.
I have no problem getting into fastboot usb. It's about the only thing I don't have a problem with. How does one reducate a phone?
There's no RUU that you can run since you have a newer hboot than all of them.
Try flashing the ROM linked in my post #2 above. It's stock based on the OTA. That worked for someone else who was having issues with other methods. Flash the boot.img after you flash the ROM.
Yep
