welcome to the forums!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what exactly did you do? do you have recovery still?
 
I had previously rooted it but it was my moms phone and she ended up buying an SIII so now it's mine and I'm trying to unroot it and yes I have recovery.
 
Why are you trying to unroot it? Are you going to keep it? It would probably be better to just leave it rooted and flash a custom or stock ROM.
 
I tried to Hboot a PC36IMG and it said "main version is older would you like to Reboot and hit yes now its stuck on HTC Evo 4G screen.
 
ok so there is no need to return it to stock. all you need to do is flash a stock but rooted rom.
1. go here http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/284413-roms-kernels-download-page.html
2.go to the official ota's section and then download the 5.07 stock rom.
3.move the file to the sd card. since you can't boot up you can either do this via a card reader or you can connect the phone via usb thru recovery. in recovery (not sure which one you have), there should be either a usb-ms toggle or a usb mass storage options. select that and you should be able to move the file over that way.
4.in recovery wipe everything except for the sd card.
5.again in recovery select flash (or install) .zip from sd card
6.navigate to the rom file and select it.
7.when it done reboot

this will leave you rooted, but you should be able to activate it with sprint now.

hope that helps.
 
Thank you so much Ocnbrze lol will this enable me to take my phone up to Sprint tomorrow for them to fix my camera, without them knowing I rooted it.

ah, gotcha...have you tried wiping cache and dalvik cache in recovery?
have you tried to delete data and cache from the camera app in manage apps?
Have you tried a different camera app?
Just wondering, trying to save you the trip to Sprint is all:p
 
You can still get it worked on if its in warranty. If not they may charge you like 35 bucks or so. Being rooted shouldn't matter anymore. If the tech gives you grief, inform them that the hardware has nothing to do with root permission, and Sprint doesn't turn away root customers. If they do go to another store.

Otherwise you'll be able to activate a rooted phone, I've done several. Even on certain custom roms. ;)

I was a little mad but It's my second Evo I had one when they first came out but dropped it toilet, I took the white back off mine and put it on this one. Luckily upgrade is in Feb so it's buy the newest Android or IPhone 5. Yes its good as new
