Root Revert HBOOT-6.16.1002

[Tuckerific]

I need to send my Evo back to Sprint. I'm still S-OFF with HBOOT-6.16.1002
Is there any way to revert hboot and get S-ON back?

Tuckerific, Welcome to AF!

You should be able to follow the instructions on how to "unroot" in this thread. It's in the first post.

NaterTots:
Thanks so much for the reply. I've seen that thread.

That should get me S-ON. Is there a way to revert hboot?

I believe that when you flash the Stock RUU file it will revert you back to something Sprint will accept. Probably goes back to 2.16, the Hboot for the GingerBread OTA update that was pushed to all Evo's that were not rooted.

Naters is correct. Thanks Naters for linking the appropriate files!
Flash the S-on tool from recovery. Next place the stock ruu on the root of your sd card. Be sure the file is named exactly PC36IMG.
Boot to hboot and the phone will scan for the file automatically. Select update when prompted, be patient, let it do its thang.
Select reboot, and ka-pow! You should be unrooted.

actually this unroot method uses a PC36IMG file to get s-on. so make sure that you follow the guide. also make sure that you do not get the two files you need mixed up. they will ultimately be named the same so keep track on what is what.

Naters was 100% correct. This method reverted hboot and put a stock image on. Thanks so much!
