So, not only am I a Dragonborn, but I am also a werewolf and a cannibal. This feels, awkward. I haven’t even decided if I am going to join the Stormcloaks or the Imperials yet. I’m so confused. The Thieves guild invited me to join them and the Orcs that I recently met want me to find them some weird gauntlets or something so that we can be cool.
I’m itching to slay a dragon…

All right, so perhaps you don’t want to be rooted anymore and want to go back to stock. This guide is quick and dirty so if you don’t feel confident or are confused at my notes, don’t try this. I’m not responsible for whatever you attempt. I ran through these steps, re-rooted, unrooted again, then re-rooted several times…so this works for me.
This process will:
Check here for the original post, thanks to the poster for putting it up!
### Turn S-OFF to S-ON ###
a. Put Revolutionary's PC36IMG6.17.zip on /sdcard
b. Rename PC36IMG6.17.zip to PC36IMG.zip
c. UNCHECK off Fast Boot (from Settings -> Applications
d. Power Off
e. Boot into bootloader, Power + Volume Down
f. When asked to update, Volume Up for YES
g. Boot into bootloader, Power + Volume Down
h. Check for S-ON
// At this point, S should be switched back to ON. The problem now lies with HBOOT being at 6.16/7?, so flashing RUU or Stock images will fail. Need to pull the misc partition at mtd1, then edit it with a hex editor, then put the edited misc back in the phone.
i. Pull, edit, push, and flash the misc.img (mtd1)
1. adb shell
2. $ su
3. # cat /dev/mtd/mtd1 > /sdcard/misc.img
// misc is on mtd1 for the Japanese EVO, not sure for other EVOs. Change as necessary.
4. Edit misc.img using a hex editor
5. On row 11, replace the string of numbers (mine was 4.24.651.1) with 1.0.000.1
// Any extra numbers/spaces should be replaced by a .
6. Save the file, a back-up will be made
7. Copy flash_image and the new misc.img onto /sdcard
8. # cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
9. # chmod 755 /data/flash_image
10. # /data/flash_image misc /sdcard/misc.img
j. Replace the PC36IMG.zip file on /sdcard with the official KDDI one, rename the KDDI one to PC36IMG.zip
k. Power Down the Evo and reboot to bootloader
// PM36IMG.zip should be scanned, takes a few minutes due to the size of the img.
l. Update, Volume UP
// It will reboot and you will see that HBOOT is back to 2.15.0001. It'll check PC36IMG.zip again, then continue where it left off.
m. Reboot, Volume UP
At this point, S should be ON, HBOOT should be back to 2.15.0001, and the Android version should be back to 2.2.1. Congratulations, you have unrooted your Japanese Evo and returned back to stock condition. From here, install a couple of OTA updates to get back to Android version 2.3.4.
I had to install a couple of OTA updates to ensure that I was on Android Version 2.3.4 before trying this root method. If your au HTC EVO is on 2.3.4, then you can use this method.
The directions can be found from this Japanese wiki. Many thanks go to everyone from exploiting, modding, developing, etc. I can do neither of those things, I just follow directions as best as they are given.
Basically:
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE STEPS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
### Preparation ###
Necessary Files
a. Revolutionary: S-OFF & Recovery Tool (revolutionary-0.4pre4.zip)
b. Clockworkmod Recovery: PC36IMG.zip
c. su, SuperuserL su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
Set up the EVO
a. Settings -> Applications, Unknown Sources is checked
b. Settings -> Applications -> Development, Check USB Debugging is checked
Set up the PC Environment
a. Android SDK and working ADB
b. EVO drivers so that EVO can be recognized, HTC Sync?
### Rooting - S-OFF ###
S-OFF
a. Connect the Evo to the PC
b. Run Revolutionary.exe
// If stuck at 'waiting for device', check the Evo settings again, and/or uninstall HTC Sync
c. When the device is found, enter the beta key from revolutionary.io/ website
// Fill in the fields, OS, HTC Evo 4G, HBOOT version, Serial Number (can be obtained by looking behind the battery or probably through revolutionary.exe). Key is CASE-SENSITIVE!
// Takes a couple of minutes and fastboots.
d. When it finishes, you can choose to download ClockWorkMod Recovery (type y), or not (type n). Type y, press enter.
e. Check to ensure that S is OFF.
1. Power down the Evo
2. Hold the Volume Down and power button together
3. When the Boot Menu appears, check the top-right for S-OFF
// After this, HBOOT will be changed to 6.16.1002.
### Rooting - Manually Flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery (optional)###
Please skip this part if you installed ClockWorkMod from the previous section, go to the next section to install su and Superuser.
a. Copy PC36IMG.zip to the root of /sdcard
b. Power down the phone
c. Hold Volume and Power button to get into the Boot Menu
// PC36IMG.zip should be loaded as indicated on the menu
d. Press a Volume button and you will be asked to update, Volume Up will choose YES
e. When the Evo asks to reboot, press Volume Up to select YES
f. Check that ClockWorkMod was install successfully
1. Power down the Evo
2. Volume + Power to go into the Boot Menu
3. Scroll down and select RECOVERY
// Should see a black screen with a green menu
### Rooting - Flashing su and Superuser ###
a. Copy su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip to the root of /sdcard
b. Power down the Evo
c. Volume + Power to access the Boot Menu
d. Choose RECOVERY to go into CWM
e. In the CWM menu, select 'Flash zip from sdcard'
f. Select 'Choose zip from sdcard'
g. Select the su zip file and press Power to start the process
h. When the process finishes, select +++++Go Back+++++
i. Select 'reboot system now'
j. Check that Superuser works
1. Turn on the Evo normally
2. in Android Terminal Emulator or (command prompt?), type su to get #
// Superuser should ask for permission
With this, you now have S-OFF, ClockWorkMod Recovery, and Superuser. From here, you can flash some custom ROMs. Most, if not all, of the current ROMs don’t have full support for the Japanese EVO (duh), so although a few custom ROMs work pretty well at first glance, WiMax is missing, as well as a some other things. I’ll try and detail a few custom ROMs in my next post, as well as go over unrooting, shutting off the camera shutter sound, and a few other things. If you want to see how to do these things, go to the Japanese wiki.
