I have tried everything I can find on unrooting and tried them all, but I can not get it to fully unroot!!
Here is my details:
S-On
HBoot 1.12.0000
Radio 1.05.11.0606
I tried all three RUU programs and it starts the process, then as it's "sending" it says "Unknown Error" and stops.
I have lost my 3 and 4G connection and I need to return it to Sprint, but they won't touch it until I'm back to stock.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks for your "help" I guess. You honestly don't think I searched??? I've been to that exact page 150 times in the last 24 hours and have tried that method at least a dozen times, with the same result. Thanks for the help though search patrol!

HA! Just because I'm not in here to post day in and day out doesn't mean I haven't been here a while reading and gathering info! I have used this site to root and unroot my OG Evo dozens of times and love it for trying multiple ROMs.
However, I was hoping that someone else might have encountered what I have while trying to unroot the new EVO.
Again, thanks for your help, I'm very unfamiliar with how forums and their search functions work due to my lack of posting. I appreciate the feedback. :good:
Husker, are you unlocked, s-off, or zedomax rooted?
Unrooting is different for each depending in what you used to root

I am not S-Off, just HTCDev Unlocked.
I had no issues at all rooting, went smooth as can be, but when I run RUU, it continually fails and says "unknown error". It doesn't even get far enough to wipe it.

No, I did not. I did not do that on my last EVO. Would re-locking through SU work for that?
It gets to where my phone reads the black HTC screen, then stops and I have to hold the power for 10 seconds to re-boot it, then everything is back to the way it was.

Okay, it appears it's moving in the right direction. It's past the point where it normally says "unknown error"! Fingers crossed!
Thanks a bunch!
DONE!
No clue why it wasn't going before. Only thing I can figure is that the "fully unroot" command in SU didn't unlock it like it should have before.
THANK YOU!!!
Now I need Sprint to either fix my 3G/4G signal, or give me a new phone. THis whole 1X data is killing me!!

Is the phone S-OFF?
How much access do you have to that phone if it is?
Nope S-ON. But I have unrestricted access for the next 30days
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I may be wrong here (I assure you someone will chime in if I am ), but at this point we may need to keep a look out for any S-OFF Phones as these have the best chance of having a SD Card we can take an image from. If I'm correct in my thinking, this alone wont help us as the individual card should be tied to that phone. Unrestricted access to such a phone would allow it to be studied at the very least.
Anyone know of any CID spoofers for mSD cards?
Well we have more than one. I'll check them all out and get back

If you MUST install it, do it via OTA

Right. Only the OTA won't download on mine. I have a 30mbit connection for my wifi and Angry Birds downloads in seconds, but took the OTA 7 hours to get 3.5mb.
All of ours have S-ON RL...
Any idea what rl is?
Also if you can't download it OTA, I would assume renaming it to update.zip would work.

For some reason the Wi-fi on mine is screwy. 50mb connection from comcast and the router is right next tomine, same as my non 3d evo was on and I couldn't download a few games that needed to install data, would sit there and after about 3 minutes would say no internet connection....
It seems to work for apps and such in the market so I don't know. Just trying to provide as much info as I can. Just got it today too. Kind of buggy.
At one point would wake to lock screen and as soon as I pulled ring it went black, several times, not sure what made it work again.
Also, hit top button showed lock screen as only top half of screen. Had to reboot for this to clear....
I also know someone at the sprint store in my location and could ask him to look for a phone of that nature if we need it. Let me know.
i think the build number is old 1.11.651.3 i have 1.13.651.7

Then one might be able to find a chink in HTC's armor. For example, running fastboot/adb commands etc and comparing the output to normal phones. The missing functions between s-off and s-on would be significant.

I installed this 'renaming it to PG86IMG.zip' and now everything is kool except my wifi errors out. Doesn't even try to start...just gives me "error" when I try to start it.
I read in a few places that I need to use Goldcard to use OTA....any ideas if this is true or if I need to do something else??
BTW, I now have Hboot 1.40.00...instead of 1.30.00 so it won't even let me downgrade to factory shipping ROM.

Anybody have any ideas at all? I've been trying everytng and I'm out of country so I dont have cellular data either so I'm kinda screwed right now.

Sounds like a radio issue. Try getting the radio file, and renaming it to PC36IMG and run it thru your bootloader.

Hi, my friends revolutionary failed three times, kept saying it lost communication with phone or something in the middle of the process. It only restarted the bootloadwr like 2 times instead of the three or four times it normally does.
The weird thing is that his bootloader says revolutionary and s-off now.... He was able to flash teamwin recovery as well.
Is he all good to go or will he run into problems later? I have never heard of this happening and am pretty baffled by it.

If he has S-OFF and is able to flash a custom recovery, then it means he should be set to go.

Yea, I haven't seen anyone report that happening. I would guess that if it says revolutionary and is S-off, then it should be good to go. Especially if he has already successfully flashed a recovery.
Thanks guys. The only thing I found weird is that he flashed synergy ROM and does not have crt animations. So I wasn't sure if that was somehow related... I know probably a dumb thing to think, but.I find it so bizzare that he even got s-off to begin with.

Install TWRP from Goo Manager from The Google Play Store, and flash one of the stock rooted odexed/deodexed ROMs you will easily find by searching the LTEVO forums. I think you are using a rooting method that cannot exploit on the new hboot.

Can't unlock via HTC dev either.
Getting some error message.
Bootloader error or something
Really irritating that they lock down a evo device like this and make it nearly impossibleto work with.
If I can't figureit out I'm just going to put it on Craig'slist I've spent hours downloading HTCsync and all the stupid ****.
All time wasted.

All the way to when you input the fast boot oem code into command prompt.
It spit out a key the first time, but when I pasted it the way they asked it saidit was wrong or too short.
So I tryed it again and each time it kept sayingerror bootloader something.
Wouldn't spit out anymore keys.
I rebooted the device and the pc same error before giving up
I have a different machine I'm going to try on later on
But I also tried the one click root as well and had the same permission denied issue.

It has to include bootloader heading and the closing, if you still had the token on the clipboard you would probably just need the heading and closing.
i got it all done.
using a different machine i was able to get the token the first go.
im rooted and running twrp.
i used this guide for help

thanks everyone for the help.
if anyone needs any assistance, id be willing to help.
Went and replaced my DNA tonight at Best Buy to try and get one without ota, which i did. Went thru the whole process all the way up to submit my token identifier and then htcdev times out. What can i do?

I have no idea why the HTC Dev site always goes down. I don't think that they are getting THAT much traffic
So, I've been stuck for 2 weeks at this point now and decided now is the time to ask for help since I've run out of ideas. :/ 2 weeks ago my rooted HTC Thunderbolt had finally been forced to update, I was too lazy at the time to block the update properly with the root tools. But back to the main topic, it forced the update and was done incorrectly. I reverted back to a previous backup and rom due to the issue. Now comes the biggest thing that screwed me. I figured why be rooted anymore? Just go to stock and be al fine and dandy and call it a day. No, of course it's not that simple, nothing ever is. In the middle of the unrooting with Revolutionary my computer crashed on me! So my phone had been left unrooted but without the installation of the firmware. Now when it boots, it's "**LOCKED**" and "**S-OFF**" So I can't force it to install any roms of any sort to reattempt everything. So basically I'm not able to boot beyond fastboot/hboot. Is there any possible way around it? I really can't afford to buy a replacement right now. I'm starting school again in a matter of days and need every dollar just to buy my books for this semester. Please somebody save me :[

That sucks. That means your hboot isn't going to allow you to downgrade. Can you run HTCdev bootloader unlock or the revolutionary tool and try the Ruu again? If not you could try finding the ics pg05img Santod posted a long time ago. That's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head that might work.
