Hi, I rooted my EVO a while ago, and have been enjoying the differents ROMs and stuff. My problem is that the camera does not focus very well anymore, and now the LED's stopped working on it. So needless to say, I would like to unroot it before I take it in to the repair shop to let them look at it.
What I need is the stock ROM and also the S-ON tool. I used Unrevoked to flash it, then clockwork is my recovery.
Thanks in advance for any help I may be given.
Bumping this thread. Sorry if it seems impatient.
Here is a guide that you can use.
For future reference, you can use this link and bookmark it if you have questions, comments, concerns related to your EVO phone. Any root/unroot related guides are found in the development section of that thread. Good luck!

I had previously found this thread when I came here. I first did a search to see if my topic had already been discussed. The guide you linked me to, however, has a bad link to the stock ROM, and the S-ON tool says is corrupt when i try to flash it from recovery. That's why I was wondering if anyone had a more current link or something.
Here's the link from shipped-roms.com:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Sup....651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe
And for S-ON/OFF:
You may have to redownload the zip file. What's the file size that you have? When I saved it to my PC, it's showing 220kb.
So my ignorance is showing. :-/ Enlighten me?
Don't have the requisite 10 posts yet to post this in dev thread so I guess I have to put it here.
Just installed the Energy Rom released March 10th.
My Wifi isn't working. According to the Dev thread, this means I need a new kernel. Somebody in the thread thinks fondly of the faux kernel so I guess I am looking for that one. Could use a clue as to where to find it.
Aside from no Wifi, love the Energy Rom.
all you had to do was read The READ ME FIRST section. stickied on top, or do a simple search. it is un-necessary to create an entire new thread even here..
here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359951
Figured it out!
The thread where I found the kernels was called:
[Kernel]Amaze[2.6.35.13](v009)OC~1.73/JRCU/UV/CIFS+UTF-8/Power Saving[Mar-13]
You have to look carefully but there's a site for downloading them mentioned somewhere in the first 3 entries. 2nd one, I think.
Didn't work the first time. Error made me think /system might still be read only so I booted into my custom recovery and used "Fix Permissions". That seems to have done the trick!
Freaken HTC/T-Mobile. :-|
My Motorola Xoom wasn't anywhere near this difficult to get it unlocked, rooted and a custom ROM and kernel installed. Even was able to put ICS on it. ;-)

I am not responsible for the leak of these RUU bundles - that's xboarders.
But, I feel it isn't for him to decide where they are available, as they don't belong to him. (Stolen goods are still the property of whoever owned them in the first place, right?)

Oh, forgot to add: You can get the actual image from these files by running them, and checking your temp directory (%temp% on W7), and browsing the contents of the most recently created folder in there (Just do an appropriate search if you're having problems). But, if you're just looking to return to stock - relock your phone, and run the executable.
As with all downloads - I take no responsibility for damage you might cause to your device(s) from the use of these files.
Any one can confirm if the RUU for Wind can restore it completely to stock?
tried the tmo zip file and it didn't work

I agree with you on this, It's not like people aren't able to get the RUU's. They just have to go to a different website to get it!!

Actually, I could not get the Wind Mobile RUU on the Android-Dev forums.
10 of the 14 posts we're ot. I don't give a rats behind what you think about Xb or how you feel about what happened. This was meant to be usefull for people who need the RUU, and not a bashing thread. If you want to talk smack about him or anything else, take it elsewhere. The next person to even mention him in this thread for any reason will get an infraction for OT posting, trolling, or failure to cooperate.
I gave permission to post links to RUU,s
So that means downloaded and reuploaded.
Not linked to someone else's server.
RUU, s are files from HTC, not xboarder56s work. He wanted the links removed pointing to his server.
We can't prevent other ppl to upload and share.
We can't check the source of the upload.

Have you relocked your bootloader? Don't remember the exact instructions for flashing PH85IMG, but it there are instructions on the board.
Guys please, calm down.
Let's lock this for a while.
Let's cool down

OK so after reading and watching and reading some more I thought I could successfully root and then mod my i777 to ICS. Yeah, not so much.
I managed to get the device rooted using some help from GalaxyS2Root.com and using the 2.6.35.7_ZedomaxStockKernel. After that I thought I could install shostock2 however when the install started with CWM it goes for a moment and says "Installation aborted." I tried to do the same with cyanogenmod with the same result. Also wifi won't stay on, but have unrooted and everything goes back to normal.
I searched a great deal for this, but could find nothing. I would love a link to a thread if there is one. Do I need a different kernel? I feel like I followed the directions to a T. I really would like to have ICS and the super user ability, it if wasn't meant to be then that's fine. I can just unroot and wait for official ICS.
Thanks for your patience with my newbness. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated, and I am truly grateful that you guys are here for me to ask.
The links in the sticky at the top of this forum will help you out. Please read all of them carefully before making further modifications to your phone.
You should try to avoid using rooting methods that you don't find on XDA. Go here and grab the stock with root package, and use that to root. After that, download Mobile Odin and use it to install a kernel that includes CWM. Entropy's DD or Siyah will to the trick. After that you should be fine to flash stuff with CWM.
LOL
I still can't believe keep seeing people getting info from that site, GalaxyS2Root.
Stop using that site people.
Thanks!
You guys are great! Thanks for steering back in the right direction.

I got my root kit from that website and it worked out no problem whatsoever. But I do agree with u votinh. Everything u need for rooting and flashing ur phone will be here on xda. I was merely for lucky with having no problems... whew
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
Listen...... The best and only way to do right is to goto FAQ and how to root and flash without incromenting flash counter.

I'm thinking it has to do with this:
The sticky ATTENTION: AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II General Guide/Walkthrough/FAQ/hints and tips, that EVERYONE is supposed to read when they join XDA, instructs you to read this: How to Easily Root your device. Or watch the video walkthrough.
If you read the info and then decide you want to watch the vid to get another example by sight, something I believe most people would do... I know I did, you will be lead to a thread called ROM's, Kernels, Tools & "How to" I777 SGS2. In this thread the OP made multiple posts in order to separate the information while still giving you everything he believed you would need. In the second post he has a section called "<Tools>" under that it says "For all first timers" and under that it states "Excellent How To Video's".
The first video, credited to zedomax, sends you to the site GalaxyS2Root ...
Then you say that all the information can be found here at XDA ... Well, you are right, that information IS found here on XDA with an external link to "that site".
tl:dr
Not being a **** here just pointing out the reason people are using GalaxyS2Root. A thread started by Red5 (a highly respected member of XDA) includes a link to a thread made by another respcted member of XDA. At this point there is yet another link to another thread that includes the GS2Root link...
You follow the yellow brick road and it leads you to the wizard!
Personally I will only be putting Entropy or Entropy approved rom/kernel/etc. on my GS2 - His work helped me a ton with my old Tilt2.

And this is one of the reasons that shortly after moderator Red5 wrote the new sticky post with the consolodated information in it, I sent him a private message asking him to remove that video from the post, and to also update the OP of the "How to easily Root your device" thread by Jivy26 to include working download links. However, for whatever reason, he chose not to make the changes. I should have pressed the point with him, or our other moderator, but I just let it be.

Huh? I just went back and looked through all my PMs and I have no PM from you. However, I will fix whats needs to be corrected.
Edit: Video walkthrough link removed. As far as the links in the OP from Jivy, are those links not working? Are there other links that are that need to replace the ones in the OP?
Edit 2: Nevermind, I see in the last post you reference to your signature and there you have a post with two working links for rooted KH7 Odin3 packages. Ill replace Jivy's links with yours. Thanks. I also gave you credit in Jivy's post under #3.

@Red5
Thanks for updating both your post and Jivy's post. Here are a couple of suggestions on the links in the "how to easily root" OP:
The items 1 through 4 are the same as and were copied from items 2a through 2d in the Guide "How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash counter!!" The links in the Guide are all working as far as I know.
First, the only exception to this is that I can not get any MultiUpload link to work. They just seem to display a blank page in the browser. I don't know if they ever work sometimes or not. This means Entropy512's original thread for the rooting packages, which is linked to in item 4 has unusable links. I just added an additional link in my guide in item 2d to direct people to the download repository for alternative links. "...or if you have difficulty with the links in his thread, there are alternative links for all his files in the Download Repository toward the bottom."
In item 2, you left the MultiUpload link, but you could change it to this one which is in the Guide - "Download "SuperOneClick v2.3.1 - Automatic Driver Installation" from DepositFiles (or look for links here) and extract it to a directory on your hard drive using WinZip or a similar program".
In item 3, you included links for both the unrooted and rooted packages, but this would be confusing to new users since it is a guide on how to easily root. I think you should remove the non-rooted link.

PLEASE help! the other issue i have is that the graphics have gone to crap. i mean aweful. if i flash another rom will that fix it or is there something else i need to do? thanks again.

Baseband version is the modem version. Has nothing to do with your firmware version and has no bearing on roms or warranty.

I actually went through the posts to make sure it would work with AOSP, i went to the guys forum and signed up only to find out they disabled the page. I saw somewhere on one of the last pages that someone maybe have backed up all of the versions. I just made the account so it looks like i can't post there and ask. So i'm here.
Does anyone have a working link with the three modems for the I605? Please?
