Hey there I just got the CLNR replacement and I have to send back my phone. Do I have to send the old one back UNroot or does it even matter if I send it back rooted? And if I have to send it back stock UNroot, how do I do that if my old thunderbolt's charging port is currently unusable? Someone mentioned using wireless ADB but Idk how to use that. Any help anyone? I used the all in one tool to root my new phone( which still drops internet service :/ ) and I'd like to try to UNroot using the tool again.

If it is going back to Verizon then I would unroot it. I think to use wireless adb just start wifi and open wireless adb then use the adb devices command on your PC once you're connected with wifi to see if it is seeing your device. Then use the allinone tool to unroot. You should also see about sending back the replacement since it is dropping data like you said. If you send them back enough they may upgrade you to a different device. Possibly a rezound.

I know my wife had a HTC merge and they replaced it with a droid 3. I have seen a few people where they offered the rezound or gnex as a replacement for issues with the bolt. Like they say its all in who you get on the phone. Also asking doesn't hurt.

You'll have to setup adb on your PC in order to for wireless adb to work. Google around for a guide.

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

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

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.
Ugh. So I rooted it then tried to run lazypanda. Got to the part where it said phone screen will be black for 30 seconds. My computer started installing a driver and it didn't install correctly. I knew I was screwed right away.
I removed all HTC traces and installed all the correct drivers.
Any idea? Or is unbricker my only option?

Yes you definitely have to use a full fledged Linux OS, VM will not be good. You could try a livecd but I would be a bit scared of doing that myself. I have Ubuntu installed in a different partition on my main HDD but if you don't want to do that there's an easy solution:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer
That will download an .exe that you run and it will install Ubuntu in a file on your Windows PC. When you reboot it will let you choose between Windows 7 and Ubuntu. It will take 2 mins of installation at most. Read on if you're interested in how exactly it works.
It creates a file within Windows of a predetermined size (this will be the 'hard drive' space for Ubuntu and all the data you put in it, so make it plentiful at least 10 gigs). When you reboot your PC and choose Ubuntu, it's technically opening up your NTFS Windows folder and considering the file it made earlier as a hard drive. Now this IS different than a VM because your computer is completely running Ubuntu and all the USB drives and ports are connected to it. The reason you shouldn't use a VM is because usually when a usb device gets disconnected under a VM things go haywire and that's not something you want when doing very risky things to your phone. Also the only difference between this installation and a regular Ubuntu installation (actually partitioning your HDD/SSD) is the hard drive performance. Windows uses NTFS and Linux doesn't bode well with that. If you like Ubuntu or are going to have to use it again in the future for whatever reason, I recommend actually installing it on your HDD, use ext4 partition for it if you install it.

The un-bricking tool is your only option, unless you want to go to sprint and get a new phone. I you don't already use ubuntu you will find that this makes the process extremely simple and it's not hard at all to do this. Here is a link for the un-bricking tool:
http://unlimited.io/lazypanda-s-off-public-beta/evo-4g-lte-unbricker/
I wasn't worried about using Ubuntu or anything. Not a noob by any means. I just have crappy internet and didn't want to download a 5gb installation of Ubuntu.
Well anyways. I started the download last night. Woke up it was finished. Ran the unbrick tool.
Got it fixed.
Now my next question, should I try the s-off again? Lol.

It worked the second time around
After bricking and unbricking mine, I let it charge to 100% and ran S-OFF again, went flawlessly (make sure to run as admin) in Windows

Its hard to do without a screen. But if you use the rezound toolkit you can run the ruu and that will get you back to stock. the progress will show on the command prompt so you will know when its done. Like the post above said, better safe than sorry. Chances are they won't even check though.
