[How To] Unroot and return to stock [RUU Method]

[GNemes]

I'm stuck on step 8. Can't connect no matter what. I've run this thing probably 20 times now and continue to get the very same error. Any suggestions? (using Win 7, 64 bit). I did turn off my virus & firewall stuff, btw, thinking maybe that was causing an issue.

Some people have success if they boot their phone in to hboot and then run the RUU.

To do that power off the Evo, then power it on by pressing volume down and power at the same time until the white screen shows up, if you have an option choose fastboot usb, then start the program on your PC.

I'll give that a try. Thanks

I want to un-root my phone and then root again, (just for the experience) when I received my phone from a freind it was already rooted, so I don't know what meathod was used. is there any way to tell or can i just use this meathod and see what sticks? Also how can I tell which RUU to use from the list in the link above?

To find the right RUU you should see what hboot version you have. To this power off your phone and boot it up by hold both the volume down and power buttons at the same time until a white screen loads, the top line will tell you what version.

If it's 2.02 or 2.10 you might as well run the 3.7 RUU.

RUU and Sync

Anybody else unable to download that RUU right now?

Also, being in the US, I downloaded the reccomended version of HTC Sync for the EVO. Will that be an issue?

 

[igotsanevo4g]

Sometimes the mirror is wonky. Just give a some time, i have the RUU on my PC and can upload it if its a dire situation, though.

keep the ruu file you had before
download HTC SYNC I did it with the latest one
and when you get to the bootloader hit fastboot
after that run the RUU and you should be good to good reply if it works for you.

I would like the link to the RUU please and thank you

Here's a better mirror: Index of /evo/stock/ruu/

Anyone have some clarification on why the md5 values for the RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe files differ between mirrors? Those are the values according to the mirrors, not the downloaded values.

The goo link is
01f712c0bea8ae6eb42ebb2f8017592c but the original link is
8fda352396eb4bb932284e0652f7de89

That seems a bit questionable to me. Different md5 values for supposedly the same files...
