Root Unrooting/Volume Key Problems EVO

EarlyMon said:
If you're on the Sprint TEP (protection plan) rather than HTC warranty, it's Sprint's policy to honor that even though you're rooted, unless it can be shown that root is the actual problem (and it very rarely is).

The Sprint techs are directed to tell you that rooting is bad, install the right software to see if the problem is solved, if not - replace your phone.

They changed their policy on this last May, and have been the only carriers to do so.

Hope this helps!

wait so you have s-on with hboot 6.16? what ruu did you use? is it the PC36IMG for hboot 6.17? because that is what your hboot should be at this point which is hboot 6.17 not 6.16. and just to catch up, did you use android flasher to get s-on?

Yes i have s-on with 6.17.0001 ******edited*

the PC36IMG is not recognized in hboot so it wont do the update to the original rom

All i did was put unrevoked forever s on on my sd card got into recovery and use my mgainfying glass button on the phone in order to install the zip I did get an error stating the installation was aborted but it those say S-on

so now I need to figure out how to update with the PC36IMG so I can put ruu on ...right???

yes you can remove the s-on file. nd yes it is easy to get those files mixed up as they are all named the same. maybe try a fresh download of the file you need.
 
it didnt work the PC36 file is not being recognized

im i suppose to put the ruu file on the sd card too ???

im i suppose to unzip the pc file

at one point it did upade the pc file but that was before i had s-on

not sure that will work with what you have. but you can try it. i never try that with a revolutionary root. i would try running one of the gingerbread ruu linked earlier. use the ones for the pc. i know you were getting those errors. when you tried those did you hav usb debugging turned on? you will need it on and your phone set to charge only for the ruu to work. they should no reason why they should not. try it again and let us know what happens.
 
I'm thinking that as long as adb works, and you have fastboot.exe somewhere, you should have no problem flashing a PC36IMG.zip without even touching the phone (in fact, you might even be able to get an RUU to work).

To try flashing an RUU, you'll have to put the device into RUU mode (hopefully your computer will recognize it then). To do that, navigate to the folder with adb & fastboot in them, and open a command prompt from there. First, you'll need to connect the device to the computer with USB debugging enabled. Then, at the command prompt, issue the command to reboot the device into bootloader mode:
Code: 
adb reboot bootloader
From that point, the device should reboot into Fastboot (should say "FASTBOOT USB" on the screen - if it doesn't, you're missing a driver). Then, issue the command to put Fastboot into RUU mode:
Code: 
fastboot oem rebootRUU
The device should go to a black screen with the HTC logo. At this point, try running the RUU, and see if it works. If it doesn't, you can try to flash the ROM from the command prompt by doing the below:

- Remove any PC36IMG files from the root of your SD card.

- Copy the PC36IMG for the ROM you want to flash to the folder containing fastboot, and rename to something simple like "rom.zip".

- Issue this command, while the device is still in RUU mode:
Code: 
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
The above is essentially what the RUU does anyway ;). You should see the file being copied over to the device on the command prompt screen, and then when flashing begins, you should see a progress bar on the device. The command prompt should come back when it's done.

Let us know if any of that works.

or you can use on of the gingerbread ruu's
Dev-Host.org - The Ultimate Free File Hosting / File Sharing Service

this is the 4.54 version

FYI - The RUU I linked is also Gingerbread - just the 4.24 version that came with the 2.15.00.05.02 radio, since there was a concern about the radio version being different. Any of them should work, really.

the ruu will run from your computer. after the commands are entered.

Yup. Doesn't matter where on the computer you run the RUU from - all that matters is that your device is connected to the computer, with all the necessary drivers installed.

yeah i realized that after i posted. i'm on like 4 cups of coffee and got ******ed for a second or two:o
 
Thank you sooo much for stepping in guys. :o

I originally thought the adb method was the only way to get this working, and I had a heck of a time remembering the thread Xtreme made. I really don't have the knowhow when it comes to ADB, haven't messed with it too much. Guess it's time to get learned. :)

Hopefully the adb ruu's that Cap'n posted up will work.

I'll be out tonight, have an art show at my daughters school. Hopefully I'll be able to peek in on the phone....if the Misses doesn't catch me. :p
 
phone is now bricked wont turn on or take charge im going to go ahead and just buy an iphone thanks everyone for helping me =] ... its a sweet and sour ending =[
