How to go back to completely Stock

[Puma81]

I haven't seen a sticky about this information so I'm am trying to get one going.

How does one go about unrooting their EVO and going back to stock recovery and a stock ROM?

I have made a nand backup and I know that will take be back to my stock ROM that was created before I flashed a ROOT stock ROM. Once you go back to stock rom how do you also get the recovery back stock aswell?

Grab the ruu from here and run it on a windows computer,its a .exe
[ROM]RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26 - xda-developers

That will return you to stock completely.

Does this also get rid of the custom recovery?

I was thinking the same thing. I am comming from a PRE and i use to run WebOSDoctor which wiped my phone CLEAN whenever i seriously messed something up. Wondering if there is something similar out there with the EVO.

The ruu will wipe everything so i don't think you have to.Just plug in and run the exe.

I am trying to use the RUU, but it will not boot into recovery when I run it. How do I fix this?

I don't think you should have to be in recovery to run the ruu. You run the ruu.exe on your pc and plug phone in an it should flash the phone back to stock.

Beezy420 is correct. It is an executable you run on the computer with the phone plugged in via the usb cable.

Can you re-root again or will this be the most current un-rootable release from Sprint?
