alright.. i was having trouble with my phone (random reboots, google apps wouldn't sync, couldn't install updates or new apps from the mkt (said "insufficient storage avail))

called TMo, they couldn't help - they forwarded me to HTC, they wanted to do a factory reset

i'm thinking, if i'm gonna have to reinstall all my apps and go through ALL that... i might as well go whole hog and just root my phone

so i rooted it

and it STILL wouldn't sync or let me d/l apps! anyone wanna guess why?

"insufficient storage available"

at this point i'm thinking its gotta be bad RAM in the phone - so, i gotta take it back

oops! its rooted!

okay, so how do i UNroot it?

well, i remember i had done a bkp of the entire system in the rooting process - so from CWM/revolutionary i restored the system, then i restored boot


now.... all it will do is cycle from the pink letters swirling around ("stick together" or whatever) to the white HTC screen ("quietly brilliant")

i notice its still in the S-OFF condition

now, i've got the latest RUU downloaded and the SDK installed - but, i connect the phone to my computer via USB it doesn't "connect" (i don't see it appear in MyComputer) - so....... the SDK isn't going to be able to install the RUU

right??



lil help?

what do i do next??
:(
 
Get into recovery, toggle usb storage from there.
Get the extracted rom.zip from the RUU, rename it PG58IMG.zip, drop it on the sd card, reboot into hboot
