Absolutely.
This is what they would do at the Sprint store if they have to reset your phone.
Nothing to be afraid of.

only if ur s-off can check if it says s-off or s-on in your bootloader

nah u shouldnt be worried bro

Are you rooted and what method did you use? What did you do last that started the issues? You could just try to reflash a OTA rooted version check the DEV forums for one .

Okay just read your thing lol your not rooted did you do any of the OTA updates? Might be causing your issues. Since your not rooted. If your having issues take it to sprint they will probably swap it out.

I am doing this the most ass-backwards way possible.
I do not have a USB-Micro USB cord. I am now transferring that large file via bluetooth to my Blackberry, where I switched the Micro CD Card out with my EVO. I also lost my Micro-SD adapter.
This whole ordeal has been one massive fail.
I'm about to pass out, but will update tomorrow.
Thanks!
Edit: Limited to 5 thanks per day? Well, until tomorrow, my verbal thanks will have to suffice gentlemen.

careful, if its an official you will lose root. and maybe your s off.
No details? So we have no idea what this is............
What is this
I am guessing it simply is the stock ROM with the OTA update applied. Please post further information on exactly what this ROM is.

So will I lose root if I flashed this? If so then this will kill a lot of time for me. I wouldn't need to unroot my device. I have a replacement coming and if I could unroot it just by flashing this then great.

Yes u will lose root and should reset back to S-ON. Just rename zip to PD15IMG.zip and boot into bootloader and it should find it and ask you to continue flashing it. Afterwards u should have a Original Stock MT4G as when u first got it.

The file in the original post will OVERWRITE EVERYTHING ON THE DEVICE and wipe it 100% clean.
If you merely want to apply the update to the phone but leave all of her personal data intact, use the file I've linked below, name it UPDATE.ZIP and apply it by following directions below.
http://www.filedropper.com/update1pd15img
THIS PROCEDURE ASSUMES SHE IS ON STOCK ROM AND NOT ROOTED
copy the file to the root of your sdcard. make sure it is named update.zip and not update.zip.zip. If you don't know what this means, let me know.
power off phone.
hold vol down + power until you get to a white screen.
use the volume buttons to select RECOVERY then click power.
EDIT:
tk192 said:
When u get to the ! with the triangle press volume up i believe to show u the options after use the volume keys to navigate to the update.zip and let the phone update and reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
when phone reboots you should be in a blue menu. Android oem recovery 2e or something like that.
select apply update.zip and stand back and let the phone do it's thing. DON'T TOUCH IT WHILE IT'S WORKING!!
When it reboots she should be on 2.2.1.
So basically this is just the PD15IMG we already have? Or will this replace bootloader, recovery and all thus eliminating the need to reverse gfree kinda like sappimg.nbh for the mytouch 3g?

I *THINK* gfree is a separate issue, but not sure. You'd have to ask the creator of that thread. The PD15IMG we already had was pre-ota 2.2, meaning we had to apply a second update.zip to get back to post-ota 2.2.1.
I think this new PD15IMG in the OP of this thread is post-ota so we can completely unroot in one step. I'm very stoked.

Me also eliminates many steps. Should be awesome also if it also reversed gfree.
Has anyone that followed the gfree process tried this to see if it will also reverse this.

EVO's USB port is busted, need help reverting back to stock.

Hey, my EVO's USB port has gotten loose and I need to revert back to stock before I take it back to Sprint. I rooted it using Unrevoked 3, and I'm currently on CM7 RC2 (Prior to that I was on CM7 RC1 and CM6, if that info is needed). How would I go about doing this without use of my USB port? I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks.
Unrevoked s-on tool + stock PC36IMG.zip. Use an adapter to get them on your SD card.

Or just visit the site on your phone.
Or use chrome to phone.
Or put them in your dropbox.
I'm sure there are more options, but one of the 4 will get you by.
Alright do I use the S-ON tool first then flash PC36IMG.zip? Or the other way around?

S-on tool first. Flash in recovery. Then once you confirm that the s on tool worked correctly, and your s is indeed on, then flash the PC36IMG using the bootloader.
When I flash the S-On tool, when I go back to the bootloader, it still says S-OFF. Any idea why?

Did you use unrevoked to root? If not, the s on tool may not work, and just running the ruu should turn s on. If you did use unrevoked, try downloading a different copy and running it again.

Try it again, sometimes it takes up to five times to work. Just make sure it says s-on before you take it back and theres no super user app in your app drawer. Also, make sure you delete the s-off.log in the sd card after your ready to take it in! Maybe even get rid of any apps and folders on your data card that have to have root (ie titanium backup) save the folders though So you can put them back on after you get a replacement.

So after trying to flash the S-ON tool dozens of times and not succeeding, I decided to try flashing the PC36IMG.zip to see if that would do anything and it turned S-ON! Thanks for the help you guys, it wasn't the best way to unroot but it turned out alright in the end.

Bricked EVO?

So I installed unrevoked [Followed step by step everything was fine]
Here's where I think I messed up (ROYALLY) I went into recovery and installed the freshEVO ROM from .zip and it installed but was stuck on the HTCEVO 4G screen, I waited like 15+min see if the install was slow, then I rebooted (took out battery) and cleared cache just did everything I think I could do to remove and now my phone is like bleh :[
Help please and thanks.

Yeah I press volume down and power then I go to recovery and it runs clockwork recovery, and that's about it

Rename the zip file PC36IMG and put it on the root of your sdcard and then boot into the bootloader and accept the update.

Download an RUU, pull the rom.zip out of it, take ur sd card outta ur phone, connect it to your computer, rename that rom.zip to PG32IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sd card. put sd card in phone, vol down and power to get into hboot mode, following instructions on the phone.

if you can't charge your phone, Radioshack's got a nifty recharger that can charge the battery (removed from the phone). I had to do the same thing, but I just ended up flashing with the stock build and left it rooted. You can also use dropbox to transfer the file

i did this just to do it and test works amazing and the guide is VERY detailed
Nevermind.....
So is this essentially a "unroot"? Just clarifying for future if ever need to do this as well.
If you truly want to return to stock, including the bootloader, etc, you can fire up the executable RUU from here. That is what I did to return it.

newbie here,
I have 2.3.4 which I will use a tool to downgrade the bootloader and use revolutionary (I promise to research more into this before I do anything ) but I just wanted to verify somethings.
What is the difference between the restore provided in the link first post by OP and the second more detailed post immediately after?
Will flashing the RUU reverse everything including S-OFF and my downgrading hboot (still learning what these terms mean.) Essentially, will it bring everything back the way it was when I first got the phone?

Full unroot and stock recovery?

Just wondering how i can do this?
Im having over heating problems while video calling(the phone gets so hot it shuts down) and I need to take it back for exchange. If they see super user im dead in the water.

Just delete the super user app. There should be an unroot option in there somewhere. You shouldn't need to worry about the recovery. But I believe there is a stock recovery in the non carrier branded forum

You could download this rom and once it's done downloading open the .zip up and delete Superuser.apk from either /system/app or Data/app. Then when you boot up it should look normal enough. After that you could just flash a stock recovery
IMO that's your best option since I haven't seen a ruu yet.

Yo
I have a quick question for the administrators. I was on Cyanogenmod with TWRP Recovery on my Htc one M8, i did everything stock (installed 2.22.401.4 odexx stock rom, with stock recovery, relocked the bootloader and turner S-ON) Now i have OTA update and when i click install now it shows red triangle and the update fails. When i go into recovery it shows something like 2.22.401.4 "something is wrong or missing something-i dont like to go into recovery to see again but i think you know this issue ) Can you please tell me what to do guys i dont want to sell my htc m8 and i want to get the OTA's in the future without any problem. Btw my phone is bought from T-Mobile Macedonia, where i wondered is this t-mobile RUU for all countries T-Mobile devices or just US?
I will be very grateful for your answers dudes.
Thank you in advance.
