[phil99]

I have searched for two days now and nothing seems to help, i rooted my phone using unrevoked 3 and now i want to unroot it. I have reinstalled HTC Sync on my pc and tried to conect my phone but keep getting an error msg on my phone

Unable to find HTC sync
Any ideas and am i going about this the correct way

1. What ROM was originally on your phone?
2. What ROM is on it now?

 

[phil99]

I just used unrevoked 3, and didnt change anything else, sorry if this is very vague but im new to all this

 

[LECTER]

Why do you want to un-root?

 

[phil99]

2 reasons might be giving it to the wife and i like to know how to do this if i get a problem with the phone and it needs to go back

2.29.405.5, phone is definalty rooted as i tried miui on it last nigth

 

[EddyOS]

Assuming that was the ROM it came with...

Download this:

Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!

Turn phone on holding the back button
Once in fastboot connect to the PC
Once it says fastboot usb run the RUU

Job done

Thank you very much yet again, will give this a go now

 

[phil99]

Which one do i select to run the ruu

 

[EddyOS]

What do you mean? That link is just different links to the RUU on different download sites - choose any of them

 

[phil99]

ive selected fastboot abd connected the usb cable, fastboot usb is in red at top, do i select bootloader

 

[EddyOS]

No, just run the RUU

 

[phil99]

from my pc

 

[phil99]

now i keep getting a usb error code

 

[phil99]

I cant do this process due to some usb problem on windows 7 64 bit

htc sync port is not responding

Rename the RUU "PB99IMG" using caps, put the file in the root directory of your sd card. With the phone off, press the down volume button and the power button, until the screen comes on.

Let the phone do its thing.

You don't rename the RUU itself, you need to extract the ROM.zip from the RUU first. Phil99, read this:

I just changed the name of the one in The Rastaman's dropbox, re; after yesterday's shenanigens?

 

[EddyOS]

Chances are the original file was the actual PB99IMG.zip with the full version name, not an RUU - check the original file name again in the drop box

So you think the kind Rastaman did it for me?

 

[EddyOS]

He might've extracted it out, tbh it's easier to flash a ROM from the PB99IMG than an RUU so I reckon he did it for the ease

 

[InfernalByte]

Ease.
