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

Thanks every one. this was very helpful.
App worked great. Now, I forget the name of what I used to root my phone, but there has to be a bunch now.
Any suggestions on the best root method?
Started having some problems on meanrom 4.2 and 4.3 where I wasn't recieving text messages so I figured I may as well update my radio firmware and pri. Currently on baseband1.05.11.0606 PRI 2.45_003 hd boot 1.15 s on, of course
I know installing the update will update my boot to 1.19 with less chance of s off but thats why I have flash image gui right, lol.
What process do I have to go through to install the update?
I'm downloading this ruu:
http://beta.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390062577138008377
I'm currently on the aroma rom is all I have to do is relock the boot loader, install the ruu, unlock the bootloader again install twrp and I will be ready to go?
(EDIT)
or can I download the updates and flash thru flash img gui somehow as if I were s off?? Doubt it but may as well ask
I just want the new radio firmware to help with what I can hope is better reception 3g speeds as mine suck and I'm 3.9 miles away from a tower so yea...on aroma its asking me to download a sprint updat that 171mb can I just do that and install or will I mess up my phone?

You need a stock rom and recovery before you can take an ota
That's what I was thinking so I have to use the ruu, right? Just have to lock the bootloader I thought I read that it was possible to do on cleanrom or something like that tho...wrong?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
You don't need to use ruu, flash stock rom, stock recovery, relock and accept ota
Ok just got to find me a stock Rom as I have lost my stock nandroid and ill complete this. Thanks

Not sure about cleamrom, ota can fail if there's been too much modification
Maybe it was fresh EVO I swear I saw something about it and am searching for it currently....if it fails I'm just back to square one...aka where I am now right?

Folks, I need some help here. I am using my DNA with tmobile now and have never activated with Verizon. How do I get the ota update? I am rooted with a custom Rom. Many thanks!

you can do a manual install of the ota by downloading it and installing via recovery but dont quote me on that. this is my first htc device so i dnt know too much about it myself

Go to Original Development. You should find the RUU thread i believe from micromod777. Dunno your previous devices, but RUU is akin to SBF for motorola and ODIN for samsung. It is how you get released/leaked factory images onto your phone using your computer and fastboot. You can also flash the stock rom in recovery but if you are not s-off you will not be able to get the valuable(IMHO) parts which are the bootloader/radio etc . I would say your best bet to get the good stuff Is to go to original development, download the RUU to your computer, re lock your phone using fastboot oem lock in fastboot mode and a terminal on your cpu. Once you update you will have lost root. So re-unlock using superCID, re root after reinstalling your custom recovery. Now you will be updated, unlocked, and rooted. BACKUP your device.. IT WILL BE WIPED
I have an HTC rezound that was unlocked and rooted by HTC dev method. It has the 2.28.0000 hboot and every ruu I find and try to use tells me hboot failed because mine is to new. I have searched for 2 days on this subject and the reason I am returning to stock is because I can't get into diag mode to flash to cricket. When I enter ##diag it says no network. ##program does nothing either. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

All ruu's posted here dont work....pm me...i have all the needed files...and i'll guide you through this....your big error that your doing is your going to need to relock the bootloader before doing anything...leaving it unlocked will cause a soft brick
I already relocked the bootloader and it still failed. I am not a total noob flashed lots of radios, hboots, built sense ROMs. This one has me stumped though.

ok an ruu is an exe file not a zip....again i have the files if needed and can show you how...also what you may not be doing whille running the ruu is placing the phone in bootloader then press the fastboot tab...once it says fastboot usb then run the ruu.exe
He is S-ON guys.

So, the OP cannot do the full RUU thing.
Can't he just do a factory reset and then boot to one of the custom recoveries and re-flash the latest OTA?
cheers,
john
No op's links have broken software...I have the needed files on my dropbox and media fire account...and no all factory reset does is wipe all data and setting for ROM...and may cause custom ROMs to not boot...ota is only achievable if on stock ROM and there is an update...however I have all those proper files too

...I didn't upgrade to the latest OTA from a previous OTA---I was on the Global Leak---and I installed the ROM found here with absolutely no problems after manually upgrading the firmware to the latest, which is what the OP is on. Fwiw, that ROM still appears to be available via the link in Post 1 of that thread.

that isnt a pure stock ota bud...thats a rom made with includes from it and rooted
This might sound stupid, but your objective here really is to get stockish, correct? With your HBoot you could use this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260154
Just make sure to flash boot.img afterwards via fastboot. This is as close to pure stock (only root added) as you can get without S-Off or other trickery. It should suffice for the requirements of the OP.

I've been trying to deal with this problem over in the liquidsmooth thread, but it's clear now that my problems are not related specifically to the rom and that thread isn't really the place for it.
I've lost all cell connectivity. Calls, texts, data, everything. The liquid rom had been working for me for over a week. I've reverted to previous roms both with new flashes and using restore files. I've tried a different recovery. Every time, it acts like I don't have a sim card.
I was suspecting that my sim might be bad, but back on the liquidsmooth thread, it was suggested that I need to RUU back to stock and start over. I'd be willing to do that except the only way suggested was really complicated. I'm S-on and it included ubuntu and the wire trick to get s-off, which I'm hesitant to do. I searched and found another thread with instructions to run an RUU while still s-on, and it seems like it would have worked except that my hboot is newer than the RUU used, and I've been unable to find a newer one.
I tried flashing the stock rom above and flashing the stock recovery that I had from when I first rooted several months ago. It still thinks I don't have a sim card, but otherwise it booted fine until I re-locked to bootloader. Then it wouldn't boot anymore. I guess it still knows that those versions of hboot, the recovery, and the rom don't quite go together.
Is there an RUU that will work with hboot 2.28 to "un-root" my phone without downloading a second operating system and performing surgery on my phone? Are the correct stock rom and recovery out there that I can flash and re-lock? Is there a way to know if that is actually the problem if if it is just my sim card? Are there any other ideas to get my phone functioning again?
Please help!

There is no RUU for your hboot, need to s-off...
If your SIM is bad, get a new one from Verizon.
Also, is the battery cover on?

On that note... Are using a stock battery cover? Some aftermarket ones are questionable at best. Also, try another SIM, Verizon will replace it free.

I tried using a friend's good sim card and it didn't work. Yes, I'm using the stock battery cover. I guess I'll have to do s-off so I can RUU back to stock.
Ugh . . . This has become so much more than I ever intended to get myself into

You didn't answer my question, is it on the phone while you're testing your connection. Dumb question I know, antenna's are in it though and I've caught people leaving it off and not getting a signal then wondering why...

Sorry, I missed that part of the question. We did it pretty quick, but I think I did put the battery cover. Also, it's not just getting no signal, there is an icon in the notification bar and a big message on the lock screen says I have no sim card at all. That has never happened before, even with the battery cover off. As I look back I realize I failed to mention that important detail. I guess it still couldn't hurt to try a brand new sim card before taking the plunge into s-off. Even if that isn't the problem, at least I'll know for sure, and as you pointed out, its easy and free.

sorry for that I misread your original post, I believe to take an ota you need to have the stock recovery, you should be able to find the ruu file for the ota, is there a specific reason why you only plan to update to 3.17? The 4.13.651.4 ruu is available, granted it does wipe internal storage but it changes the data partition so you in the end have more internal storage and Android 4.3 sense 5 is amazing, my phone runs great now, no glitching or freezing on me. Just food for thought.

I'm assuming he's doing it from stock (before the newer RUU, that is) to apply the fix. There wasn't a Heartbleed bug when the 4.13 RUU was compiled. Now if there was a way to extract the revised files to use on the latter RUU, we'd be onto something.

I can't run the ruu on my wife's phone because the usb port is skewed up and only will charge, will not stay connected to the computer.
And my brother is to lazy to transfer is internal storage to the computer, he is soff, so I was wondering if he flashed the stock recovery if he could install the update with no issues
