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

liquid im only wanting to unroot because my android market never appeared when i installed cyanogen and i installed gapps as well can you help me?
 
i have unrevoked 3 will this method work by installing the 3.70.651.1? i have hardware version 4 and it came orginally with 6.29.651.x
 
quick question. I got to step 14 on the instructions. phone wont boot bast the red screen. Any suggestions on how to get the phone to boot at all past the screen with the skateboarding android guys? I'm new to all this. Thanks

I just figured it out.

This might sound stupid, but what the hell does "Stop at the skateboarding androids and proceed to step 6." mean? I get lost right there
 
I get an error 140 saying i got the wrong bootloader, i got hboot 0.93....
what to do? been trying for like 4 hours!!!
 
So I went though all the steps but now my phone is stuck in the bootloader screen (The skating androids one) did I horribly mess something up?

Just reboot, and then you can tell if you messed something up :p
I think theres a reboot option if you go into fastboot if it isnt in bootloader (i forget).
 
FIXED.​

~Attached are the newest DL link for the RUU's, choose by version accordingly.
If you use the newest RUU, you will have to use the newest rooting methods as well.~


... maybe you need to return your EVO and don't want them to know you rooted. Your in luck!

Please let me know if you need help troubleshooting anything. Reference the step your are stuck on. I'll usualy get back to you fairly quickly if you post before 11pm PST or after 9am PST.

Ive read this over a couple times and my only question (not) so far would be, is there anywhere else to obtain the RUU??? The shipped ROMs servers SUCK.

Edit: Nevermind, I downloaded the RUU from the "Froyo early adopter scare" solution. Easier peasier.

Thanks.. it worked!
I would recommend the following be added to the insturctions:
1) make sure you have Hboot drivers on your PC
2) If you used unrevoked forever, use the s-on tool before this process
2a) Install HTC Sync, but dont run it after it is installed.. you will run the RUU.exe file
3) when in h-boot, choose fast boot before running ruu (i got the USB connection error frequently, and like someone else, when I chose fast boot, it worked imediately)
4) better link to download RUU- http://goo-inside.me/evo/stock/RUU/
5) use the latest RUU
6) after the process is done, and the evo reboots, the green circle with an arrow is normal and means it worked.. dont panic
