I have just recently had my usb port crap out on me. So I have no way of reverting the traditional way.
Has any one had any issues with returning a phone under warranty that was rooted?
I have a battery charger, but its a pain, and i am sunk for anything i would need to do via usb.

If u have root then u have no warranty... how did it crap out on u can u still charge the phone?

I think he means a battery charger, as in to charge the battery separately. You could try to load the files unto the SD card to get back to Stock and S-On.
My sister returned an Incredible I had rooted for her, while it was stock but S-Off. Don't take my word as gospel though it might vary from agent to agent, how thorough they are.
If you didn't use revolutionary to get s-off, you should be able to get everthing back to stock with the right RUU on the sdcard and flash through h-boot. If you did, you can get everything back to stock except h-boot. You will still have s-off in that case.

I did not use revolutionary.
Any one have the MUU I need to put on it to get it back to stock?
Putting current stock firmware and s-on back onto the phone
download these 2 files:
1) PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.9.zip
mirror: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...11.605.9.zip&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13338108288141
md5: 3e189b6c85ea7da1e26e12a5cd7b1ab0
2) PG05IMG_hboot_ONLY_2.11.605.9.zip
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...rlzh9lrnh0qs&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13338109990672
md5: d26b3253358407d459c654e6729a39ca
rename PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.9.zip to "PG05IMG",move to your sd card,and flash in hboot.
this is important! you must flash the PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.9.zip first
after successfully flashing that,you will be on unrooted gingerbread with an eng s-off bootloader. delete the PG05IMG file from your sd card. now place the PG05IMG_hboot_ONLY_2.11.605.9.zip on your sd card. check the md5. once youve verified it matches,you can rename PG05IMG and flash it.
again, only flash the hboot file after you have successfully flashed the rom.
now you are 100% stock on latest firmware. unrooted gingerbread 2.11.605.9 with *locked* 1.05.0000 s-on bootloader.
BTW. info pulled from here. This worked for me when I was running a eng bootloader with s-off.
The same thing happened to me. I just returned it to stock using the above info and returned it. I did not have any problems with verizon. I also used revolutionary to get s-off. so return to stock and you should be good.
I hate "me too" posts but me too, it worked for me and it will for the OP as well.
You can download thunderbolt restore from the market and restore it that way. Its an app that will do all the work for you

i am currently running an ICS rom and need to return mine for another device since it is defected.
Can i just htcdev LOCK then flash the ruu renamed as PH98IMG.zip to get back to stock?
You can do that cause I think ruu is different than just flashing stock. I had an og evo and I flashed the stock and I still had s-off so best advice make sure there is an s-on utility for ur device then use the ruu to return to stock

That will work fine. You can also relock then run the RUU on a windows PC, but pretty much the same thing will be accomplished.
i flashed back to gb then did waht i stated in the op and all it did was lock me in the bootloader and now my phone is stuck no matter what it do.

I'm no expert but I think (if you made a Nandroid) you can extract the boot.img from the Nandroid then flash it and restore your stock Backup. I would also wipe / factory reset in recovery.
If you don't have a Nandroid backup you can download the RUU or a boot.img from a Rom like Scott's GB ROM and use one of those after you extract the boot.img.
I just did this today, I first flashed back to a gingerbread rom, then i unzipped the ruu and took the boot_signed.img from it, renamed it to boot than flashed it from fastboot. Then I put the ruu zip on my memory card (renamed it to ph98img) and fastboot OEM locked the device. I then rebooted the bootloader and applied the update.

I got it from scottsroms.com, I just downloaded the zip file in the ruu section, as for reverting back to a gingerbread Rom, I'm sure anyone of them would work (scotts clean rom has always done me well). I only say that because once you flash the boot image, your ics rom won't boot, so you can't place the ruu on the memory card, unless you have another way to mount your sd card to the computer (i.e. adapter, or another phone)

I believe all you have to do is pick the rom you want, install it and your good. The majority of them automatically takes you to hboot to flash the kernal, but not all of them, so make sure you read the instructions before you flash.

Wait I thought even if you relocked the bootloader it said "relocked" or something at the top so Verizon could tell no matter what. That's the only reason i haven't unlocked yet because i just got a new device and want to make sure there are no bugs with it.

I wondered this as well. Most csr's don't seem to be as knowledgeable as the people here on xda. They also don't seem to have a lot of knowledge on particular devices besides the obvious specs. I really don't think anyone is going to boot into fastboot to see it's been relocked, or even know what that means.
I'm gonna gamble with it, I'm tired of the noise coming from the headphone Jack whenever I play music.

I just spoke with a Verizon tech on the phone last night, he told me that simply unlocking the phone would NOT void the warranty considering HTC is allowing it via their website. However he did say that any rooting/roms would void it immediately (if they can detect it of course).
So basically just put it back to stock and you are good?

I've seen a lot of post that say you'll brick if you flash gb with the ICS RUU and I haven't heard of a way to down grade you hboot or your mainversion yet so I wouldnt try it unless ya feel brave lol

All though it's never a hard brick you can recover as long as you do it right but I don't think you can recover with the old firmware you still have to use the upgrade if you flashed the leak to use a ICS roms

Rom: BAMF ICS v1.1

I have reverted from clean ROM 4.0 to my nandroid GB back up with no problems.
What you do lose from going from ICS to GB is the internal sdcard mount.
I hear they use two different systems so you wont be able to view your sd card going back to GB.
There is a flash going around in the forums to get you back the sd card mount.
and FYI, as far as I know you can't fully downgrade the radio if you updated to the latest leaked radio.
no i dont have a brick i just need my phone to look like stock so i can trade it for another

there should be a stock GB rom floating around the forums.
you will need to get some recovery software like amonra.
Don't forget to update the kernel when you revert back.

I think it should come with the rom. You just need to flash it after the rom installs.
Flash one of the stock roms and kernels and then relock through fastboot, I doubt they will check the bootloader but just to be safe

First..regardless of what you do you have to hope the verizon rep is not smart enough to boot into bootloader before exchanging as it already says unlocked...and depending on what you have done...it could say tampered as well. At best when you reflash and relock it will say "re-locked" not locked.
But to pass most reps you need stock..
so yes you need to flash stock RUU...but if you have flashed a kernel or rom your your mainver has likely been reset.
So first you need this to reset your mainver...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526316
Then flash the RUU from here
http://www.filefactory.com/f/c2e320ee1d5c7886/
You are wasting your time.. rooting and romming does not prevent exchanges. Big post in general about it too.
They check for 3 things
1, Was the shipping box damaged?
2, Is the phone physically damaged (broken screen , etc)
3, does the phone power on.
That is all that is verified, the Customer serive rep on the phone is the person responsible for verifying you have a valid exchange reason. If they authorize a replacement.. then you have nothing to worry about.
I have returned 2 rezounds for screen problems , one had ics, and one was.rooted gb.
*edit*
Never take a phone to a store, just call 611 and talk to a CS rep. Stores have their own agenda, the reps on the phone are directed to, in most cases, send you a replacement (almost) no questions asked.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
further,you cannot downgrade back to 2.01.605.11 if you have flashed the leak RUU.
you cannot downgrade the hboot and radio,period. you cannot flash a gingerbread rom with ICS firmware,period. it wont brick,but your sd card will disapear
if you ran the leaked RUU,best thing you can hope for is relocked after relocking and re-running that RUU. but as was mentioned,it may say tampered as well.
I was in the same boat. I got my replacement phone few days ago. Sent out the broken one (3G radio doesn't work) with the ICS leak on it.
You can not RUU back to previous versions. Don't waste your time. I reflashed the ICS PH98IMG so that it at least doesn't say "Security Warning" or "Tampered".

see the issue is the different kernels and mount points for ics and gb, Unless you run an ics with gb patch ( not sure if that exits . i know we have tons of ics patches for gb hboots ) so make sure your hboot version matches your os of choice , whether its ics of gb.
Alright. So I run the .exe GB Ruu. Then can you guide me from there?

You can just run a RUU, that will break the root. You have to lock your bootloader first though. You can do that by downloading Hansoon's first All-In-One Tool. It takes care of the command line business for you. If you want it and can't find it, let me know. However....read on.
Now, about your sd card trouble. Did you flash the SD Card/Old firmware patch when you flashed the ICS RezROM....if not...you should have...and might contribute to the problem you're seeing.

Both of the ROMs you listed would require you to run the Old Firmware patch. On Scotts link it is listed in the section titled 'extras' ...in the RezRom it is under the basic instructions. For both of those you should have flashed the ROM in recovery, flashed the boot(kernel) through bootloader, and then flashed the firmware patch. You see, ICS uses different mount points on the SD card compared to GB and since you are still on GB Firmware (hboot 2.11), you need to do that.
Just google "rezound flash ruu" ....basically, you'll have to relock your bootloader, download the ruu, rename it to ph98img.zip, and then boot into bootloader and let it install. Good directions and links for the latest LEAKED RUU are in post 3 of this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508118 This RUU will get you the latest and greatest ICS firmware. I can't remember, you're not getting ready to send back to Verizon, right?
I'd say reinstall Scott's rom again first though. Can you read the SD card with your computer?

No, I'm not sending back to Verizon. I panicked when my card wouldn't read and decided I needed a better handle on customizing before I ROMed but it was too late damage done.

This should be it here. Scroll down to the recovery section and there should be a ph98img.zip file linked: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425091
You may have to take out the card to rename it or else you won't be able to get to recovery because the bootloader always looks for a ph98img file before it does anything and if it finds one you either choose to update or reboot ....! So if it were me, I'd take out the card and put scott's roms files on it at the same time. Put it into the phone, boot to recovery and flash the rom, boot.img, and sd card patch.

Root again, flash the full RUU, and then unroot again.

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

***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?
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
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.

Caroline failed, but had this to say: entation fault
Press (almost) any key to exit.
Try using the All in one tool and get the following error message
i looked it up and it don't like something inside ICS
i know i just cant win
any other ways to root
i tried to reinstall SU and got it to say installed
but S on still and no root when needed in apps
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 need to return my rooted HTC Thunderbolt back to VZN and Im out of time =( I've unrooted, but S-boot off and protected under Revolutionary. Instructions available all over the net are only for PC and I dont have one anymore. Can someone please help, I will gladly make a Donation. Thank You.

Flash this and then let it OTA and you should be fine after that.

oh thats what i Wanted to get rid of revolutionary, Im back to stock already but Revolutionary still on, so I just unrooted again with ur file hehe, oh well..
Maybe this........
Putting current stock firmware and s-on back onto the phone
after getting the bootloader back to the original s-off,engineering 1.04.2000 hboot download these 2 files:
1)PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.19
mirror: https://rapidshare.com/files/271867813/PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.19.zip
md5: 334909756073760b3d7316e51a4ce837
2)*link removed PG05IMG_hboot_ONLY_2.11.605.19.zip
mirrorG05IMG_hboot_ONLY_2.11.605.19.zip
md5: d26b3253358407d459c654e6729a39ca
rename PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.19.zip to "PG05IMG",move to your sd card,and flash in hboot.
this is important! you must flash the PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.19.zip first
after successfully flashing that,you will be on unrooted gingerbread with an eng s-off bootloader. delete the PG05IMG file from your sd card. now place the PG05IMG_hboot_ONLY_2.11.605.19.zip on your sd card. check the md5. once youve verified it matches,you can rename PG05IMG and flash it.
again, only flash the hboot file after you have successfully flashed the rom.
now you are 100% stock on latest firmware. unrooted gingerbread 2.11.605.19 with *locked* 1.05.0000 s-on bootloader.
as always,be as cautious as possible doing hboot flashes,and follow directions in the [HOW TO] and some root terminology to flash these files if youre unfamiliar with hboot flashing.
*please start a new thread before attempting this if any part of this confuses you. without a bootloader your phone is a paperweight,so we want to help you prior to making any mistakes
