Hi, im haveing my EVO View repaired by HTC and i need to know how to un-revolutionary, because i dont have usb connectivity (The charging port is not working)
Could somone help me? I need to get back to S-ON
Just hope they don't charge. I asked the same thing before I shipped it out. Luckily they just emailed me today saying it's fixed and said they are going to ship back. How did you damage the port?
I mistakenly tried to put the wrong side of the charger plug in.
Very sensitive the port is

Damn! You don't think you may have pulled too hard? Wish sounds ridiculous! I know!
Just asking because if they would have charged me i would have been pissed because I think their port is very faulty. So i really am afraid of it happening again. I know this time I'm going to baby it even more. My gf is going to hate me lol.
Good luck I really hope it all works out or if someone can help.

Could you possibly download a RUU to your sdcard to flash or something ? Just throwing ideas out there..

That won't over write the hboot. You need to be able to push the hboot with adb from recovery. Really not sure if there is a way to do it without a USB connection. Maybe in a terminal emulatorwhile booted although I am not sure if trying to push an hboot while fully booted

So, does anyone know if they can even tell? at this point the device wont power on, but they would have to repair it and charge it up to even know its rooted, right?

Correct. And the only way to do this would be to somehow dd a stock HBOOT (I could provide one) over the revolutionary one, and reflash the stock ROM. It would go like this, but since your device isn't powered it's kinda useless:
1. Install the stock RUU on your device (extract the rom.zip from it, google extract rom.zip extract RUU) rename the rom.zip PG41IMG and place on sdcard >>> reboot into hboot.
2. After 2 complete passes, reboot into the system with the hboot of the RUU on the sd. DD it using Terminal Emulator (a command like this, don't actually run it: dd if=/hboot.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18)
3. Reboot into fast boot to confirm the stock restore.
4. ???
5. Profit
Now obviously the device will require power here and when I used this method I had to stop midway to charge, so even 40% battery isn't an option.
EDIT: If you can get some battery, just do HTC Unlock. Although it's a warranty void, I think HTC would provide support rather to the guy who used their tools instead of a third party one.
My 2 cents, but their 1950 special edition ones so don't lose em!
Oh yeah I just realized you could take your sdcard out and put it into the computer to put files on it, if you can even get it charged though :/

Okay. So your saying that since it can't boot I'm fine, the would HAVE to fix it because it disent have enough charge?
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
I had the same problem back in December. My advice is to turn off your device and conserve as much battery power as you can until you figure out what to do, because once you run out, you're stuck. Unfortunately for me, I found out my port was broken when I plugged it in when I ran out of batteries. I sent it to HTC though, and within a couple weeks I had it back, with HC on it. If you do send it in, make sure to back everything up because they flashed mine.

Well if HTC fixes the port and charges it up and finds revolutionary, I doubt they would refuse to send it back. They've fixed it already.
there have been a couple of people who managed to charge their flyer by taking off the back plate and charging the battery directly. This would only fix a portion of your problem. In the end if you do not have usb connectivity I am not sure you can replace the Hboot. If the port is broken it really has nothing to do with being S Off. I can not see why it would impact the repairs, although I think you stand a decent chance of recieving an invoice.
My Amaze 4g is rooted and rom'd etc.
A couple days ago the screen died. Like, it did something kinda of weird (flashed some grayish type colors) and then turned off. The phone still works etc but the screen is dead.
So, I can get a replacement phone but it is rooted and sending it back is too risky.
Is there anyway that I can restore my phone without having to see the screen?
Or, has anyone heard of this happening etc?
Thanks
You'll have to boot into fastboot and relock the bootloader. It might be a bit difficult to do so without actually being able to see what the screen should be showing, but overall it's a two step process: relock bootloader, load and flash stock RUU
So can you walk me through it? Lol, since I can't see the screen? Like, can you just direct me on what buttons to push.
do you have it insured? Maybe you might lose it tonight?
What i suggest is watch a youtube video on how to relock it and hwo to flash stock RUU adn get the timing.

You might as well just send it back because even if u figure out a way to relock it, it will say "relocked" therefore either way they will kno u unlocked it. But that shouldnt matter because the screen going dead is most likely a hardware issue which if it is it should still be covered by the warranty whether u unlocked it or not

No it only says it "may" void ur warranty.. so as long as the problem wasnt caused by you changing the software, like flashing roms and soforth, then they should still honor the warranty. And to me it sounds like a hardware issue so u should be fine.

Are you sure it's not just the backlight that's out? If it is, you can just grab a really bright flashlight and shine it at an angle, and you might, possibly, be able to see your screen. It will be faint but it might be enough to help you relock it.
Just crack the screen, tmo will charge you 50 bucks extra if the screen is cracked. At least this is what they told me when I had to get a replacement for my wife's phone.

I know quite a few people who returned their phone back to tmobile and were fine and they had the same type of issue you had.
Shouldn't be a problem.

M moms rezound broke. Well just the charging port so I cant hook up to PC to use fast boot and do that writesecureflag3 command. I don't want to send this thing back s-off.
Is there a way to brick it? With a ph98img.zip file?

In fact, some people have received devices that passed the "100 point inspection" that still had CWM or CyanogenMod still on them
I returned an incredible that still had cwm on it and a rezound that said relocked on it with no problem at all, I wouldn't doubt that they make that statement just to scare you into not doing it.

I have two evos and the other got stuck at the HTC boot screen where it says quietly brilliant. I didn't notice it was stuck since I had walked away and it overheated severely. I held the power to turn it off but from that point on I couldn't turn it on at all.
Any suggestions? Is it a lost cause?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Try plugging it in and letting it sit a while, let it cool down first, maybe the battery needs to recover, heat can damage the battery

what om4 said, it might just have been a heat issue...the same thing happens if your computer over heats, it will reboot/shutdown on its own to cool itself down
Thanks for your responses guys.... Unfortunately it still won't turn on, the charging light won't come on either after trying different chargers.
Is there a way to turn on the phone through ADB? I have never tried it but does anyone know if it's possible?

Nope
Isn't it possible to boot thru fastboot using 'fastboot reboot system' ? Provided you can get into your hboot.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
If they said they could get to hboot but if you can't boot normally then you can't fastboot a reboot either
How would I get into hboot? When I plug it into my computer its still make noises and showing up not as the flash memory but something else

To get into hboot, power off, then hold volume down while pressing the power button. Then use volume to choose and power to select.

Yeah, if you plug in your phone to a computer (Linux is a bit better for this) do you get a new device discovery in Windows? Do you have some COM devices or Modems in your Device Manager in Windows?
You might be in the emergency download mode. There can be hope.
That's what I thought they were saying but then another post had me thinking I might be misunderstanding them

If nothing is happening, no lights, nothing on the pc, i would say your s-off attempted failed. Have you tried taking the battery out and letting it sit for a few then booting it back up? i dont think thats going to help. IMO i would say its dead unless someone else knows of anything.
I know in the computer world if something like that happens and the USB ports are fine on the PC its the devices thats dead..im assuming the same would go for the phones

I've seen this before browsing the forums. I got S-Off first time so didn't commit it to memory. Definitely visit the UI site and check. The answer may be to run the process again but verify that.

See there you go lol, someone with a lil more experience with the s-off stuff then me after doing a little searching it does appear that you can recover from that s-off failure...now it seems that the pc needs to be able to see the phone in order to do so, so it might still be a paperweight, but i guess ill let others chime in and see what they say

I also just read a few threads that ppl did fry their usb ports when getting s-off, and also as bad killing the phone..exactly why i dont want to s-off, theres not much i cant do being s-on besides radios and kernals, and even then their work arounds for that

If you can get to bootloader you're rarely screwed. You can always run a RUU. If your port is fried, S-Off may no longer be an option but you can charge in other ways.
