I rooted and flashed clockwork orange. Now I want to revert back to complete stock recovery and all. How do I do this? I don't know if this is the right area for this topic.

flash the RUU .exe which will load the stock system, recovery, kernel and everything.
If I were to restore my EVO to stock, then run the official Sprint OTA update that just came out, will I still be able to root it? Or does the new update block Toast's root method?
Clockwork ORANGE??? lmao! I loved the movie though, loved it... U mean clockwork mod right? Oh yea just get the stock RUU.

The second OTA breaks RUU bootloader according to reports.
I tried the ruu and when it tries to open the bootloader it fails.

This is EXACTLY what I say in my head when speaking about Clockwork Mod.
I was able to get past waiting for bootloader by putting the phone in bootloader mode before running the RUU. But it gives an error message saying the bootloader version is incorrect.
dammit all i want is to go back to stock no root no nand because 4g is broken with these new ota rooted crap that came out today!
Can someone post the stock recovery or a method of going back to a stock recovery pleaseeeeeee

The steps below worked for me. I had the latest clockwork,dc rom and The latest rooted ota updates installed.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/
I unplugged/plugged my phone into the computer a couple times,switched to htc sync mode when it asks what type of usb connection I wanted(to install more driver updates), and did 2 reboots on my computer (windows 7 ultimate x86) to get all the drivers updated/installed and working as they should,
then I just turned off the phone, held volume down and held down power button to get to bootloader,
then I pressed Power button one more time to get to the menu where I can reboot bootloader,
then I rebooted bootloader once or twice BEFORE the unrooting process for good measure.
Stock RUUs
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
RECAP
Download and install HTC Sync Update http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/ (if you already have it installed then click the repair option, or better yet uninstall your current one even if it is the same one, reboot your computer and then install this one again, all for good measure.)
Download either one of the RUU Stock Roms, I would do the first just to be safe http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
Plug your phone into your computer, make sure ALL Drivers install properly if any, you may already have drivers installed, but double check, switch to HTC Sync mode and let it install any extra drivers, then turn off your phone and start it in bootloader (Hold Volume Down +Power button) Reboot your computer for good measure too, to make sure everything has been properly installed.
Then you can finally double click (right click run as admin imo) RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe and start the unrooting process, good luck!
Will this work if I have clockwork mod as my recovery?

if you have clockwork, you still have system access and should beable to use any of those RUU's to downgrade back to stock.
i did the same thing and now im back at stock and have latest update running stock rom.
put phone into bootloader mode, then run RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253.exe
follow steps. and then you should have stock evo.
check for OTA updates and install it.
wait 10-15 minutes before rebooting after the update completes..
mine kept saying there was an update. which there wasnt, it just kept trying to download same update.
Yes it should I had clockwork too.

@Tundricles i cannot use ruu to unroot because i don't have the HTC Drivers and before i re downloaded HTC SYNC i had some drivers just not ADB driver after downloading the program i have no drives at all !!!!!!!
is there a way i can download and manually install the htc evo drivers!!
im back to normal i can read my sd card and i can connect to pc thank you all
same problem
im on fresh 1.0.1 ive downgraded fresh wiped everything tried different ruu and nothing so far
when flashing the build for cm7 could i do it using ClockWork Mod v2.5.1.2 or is there a special recovery i need to flash before trying to put cm7
reason i ask is because on the MT4G you need to flash recovery to v3.0.0.0+ before flashing cm7 build
if someone could please responf on this thread or pm me would be awesome!
Thank You
pretty sure you can just flash it the regular way.. wouldn't see why not as the gingerbread roms are flashed through the regular cwm also

well sounds like you already have the latest Clockwork installed? if so, I believe UnRevoked comes with a downgraded version so I would try and downgrade the version on your phone see if it helps
Well I'm able to go into recovery it's just when I try and use rom manager or titanium backup it comes up saying the phone doesn't have root privileges so I thought it wasnt rooted properly. If I'm rooted because I can go into recovery and it shows s= off in h boot then how do I fix the privileges part of it all?

This happened to me after I used unrevoked. It ran successfully, I tested w/ rom manager and it worked. I then rebooted a few minutes later and tried using several other root apps and none could obtain root privelages. So, I flashed a custom ROM (cyanogen 6.1) then had full root access again. Maybe that will help?

You can reroot if you want once you ruu'd your phone. Its entirely up to you.
It also could have just been a bad flash or a bad file

Just use the 3.70 RUU and you can reroot.
Yeah I press volume down and power then I go to recovery and it runs clockwork recovery, and that's about it

Then you can use caulkin's format all and then flash whatever ROM and kernel you want.
I would just run a RUU, 3.70, and then reroot.

Sorry one more question, so when I try to install the 3.70 RUU since it stays stuck on the htcEVO 4G screen.
On the part where is says to plug it in and power on I tried to run it normal and I also tried to run it VIA the HBOOT USB or whatever its called and it still wouldn't let me proceed

Rename the zip file PC36IMG and put it on the root of your sdcard and then boot into the bootloader and accept the update.
He has root if he has clockwork. Dude just install a rom.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I agree with riley you have clockwork no need to go back to square one. I had the same problem with fresh ROM. Get Sprint lovers its simple to use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830153 and like every thing else put it on the root of you're SD card (or out side of the folders).
This phone was rooted already, then today I returned it to stock since the cyanogen7 that was on there did not... somehow... have the menu option to "update profile" I needed to change my phone number. I wanted to re-root, but I'm having trouble where to begin.
In the Power+Vol Down boot screen, it shows S-OFF, and HBOOT 2.10.0001
I cant make Revolutionary work because 2.15 is the lowest HBOOT it accepts.
If I choose the "recovery" option in that list, I get a black screen with a red triangle/exclamation point icon over an icon of the phone. I have to take the battery out to get the phone back on.
The phone does work, btw. But I miss the stuff I get when it's rooted. Anyway... what do I do now? How do I get the recovery/cyanogen7 on there if I cant get superuser permissions?
I used some other method back when I rooted this phone, but I haven't seen anything yet to spark my memory of the steps.
U are already s-off. No need for revolutionary. Go to dev thread and look for amon_ra recovery. Download it and follow directions to flash it. Then download whatever rom u want and flash that. The red triangle just means you have no recovery.
Support TrevE !!
I thought Revolutionary was how I got the custom recovery on the phone, which I need before I can root? I;d like to put CWM on there, since I have a paid version of Rom Manager already, and I believe they work together well.

If that's your hboot then you rooted with unrevoked and don't use rom manager and clockworkmod everyone here will tell you it leads to problems

So if my HBOOT is 2.10, it means I originally rooted with "unrevoked", and there may be problem with that and the Rom Manager/ CWD setup?

You did originally root with unrevoked. Sometimes it doesn't flash the recovery [known fact] in which you do as Paranoia said above, as to download, flash, and install a recovery.

All you need is to flash a custom recovery in the bootloader and you will be set and yes everyone will recommend amon RA (supersonic RA) over clockworkmod recovery

Okay, I did the Bootloader/PC36IMG.zip thing, and then I loaded the cyanogen7.1 zip and applied it. I got a load screen loop one time, but after taking out the battery and booting again, it loaded into cyanogen. I dont see the Market in the menu tho...
Rom Manager is installed though, but to do anything it wants to install CWM. So do I let it? I need the market, obviously. If Rom Manager is to be avoided, what replaces it? I liked how everything was in one place, with auto backup's and recovery of the phone, etc...

You just need to flash the latest gapps in recovery.
Okay, that's in process. But the question remains, should I uninstall Rom Manager or can I use it? If I shouldn't use it, is there anything that replaces it? How would I go about backing up my phone and data? I've paid for Titanium a while ago, so I know I can use that to backup app's, but what about the phone itself?

You'll have to uninstall rom manager as you need CWM recovery. To back up, simply backup all your apps and data in tb, boot into recovery, select nandroid restore/backup, selecet backup, and you NEED the first 3 checked [boot, system, data]. Also if its your first, backup wimax as well, then copy it to your pc for safe keeping, in case you ever lost your wimax keys.
Figured I would ask here instead of opening a new thread...I have an evo running hboot 2.10 and 3.30 software that I would like to root. I've used unrevoked back in the day but its been so long. So I was thinking about upgrading and using revolutionary. Is there really any difference that would want me to re learn unrevoked, or just upgrade the h boot and software and use revo? any insight would be appreciated

There is no reason to "upgrade" to revolutionary. Unrevoked is the same thing as revo. Just unrevoked doesnt work with the newer hboots. If your already s-off in bootloader there is no difference. U can use any rom regardless if u used revo or unrevoked. The whole object of rooting is to get s-off. Once you have it there is nothing more you can do. Ive used both on unrevoked on my original evo. And revo on my newer refurb. There basically the same. Easy auto root pretty much.

No custom rom, cant boot into cwm recovery, and i believe the zip is still on my sd card
this may be a stupid question but did I need to do anything with the vhwk files like I did on my first dinc2? I never used those files this time because I was thinking the process was different with the taco root method.
If you've gone through Tacoroot and Revolutionary (which it appears you have) and have installed CWM, you still need to install SU. You can't select Recovery from HBoot? You may need to move the P32IMG.zip files from the root of your SD card and reboot. It should allow you into Recovery to flash SU.
