UNROOT and FORMAT your EVO back to original Sprint ROM using latest version 4.24.651.1. This will do a complete Factory Reset for the phone, however S-off remains (meaning you can reinstall recovery utility)
Late last month Sprint sent out the long awaited Gingerbread upgrade for its flagship HTC EVO. Initially the update was only available through Over-The-Air (OTA) Sprint maintenance update, making it difficult for those with rooted Evo's update their phones. Fortunately, Sprint released their Official RUU Rom as an executable allowing us to run the update whether we're rooted or not. Here's is a breakdown of what the RUU fixes/updates: - Upgrade to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) - Google Downloads management - Corrects voicemail notification issue (from 4.22.651.2) - Corrects issue with hearing aid compatibility menu disappearing (from 4.22.651.2) - Corrects Netflix compatibility (from 4.22.651.2) - Fixed SMS being sent intermittently wrong and seemingly random contacts - Fixed "Me" instead of "Yo" in SMS thread conversations when set to Spanish - Fixed Inability to stream media thru some applications after updating to 3.70 - Fixed Email attachments not displayed in the mail client - Fixed syncing for Multiple Gmail accounts - Fixed battery discharge issue
In addition to upgrading your Evo to the latest Android platform, the RUU file can be used to restore the your android back to most current Sprint factory settings. So if you want to unroot your phone, or have somehow corrupted the system and are unable to boot up your phone, running this RUU will fix EVERYTHING. You phone will be as if you just walked in and purchased it from Sprint.
Please note this will ERASE EVERYTHING from your phone. So backup any sms, contacts, etc to your sdcard. The sdcard will NOT be erased.
Follow the steps in the video to run this update, find written instructions and troubleshooting below the video.
To perform the upgrade / factory reset / unroot, you will need to do the following: 1) Downdoad Official Sprint Rom for Evo: RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.24.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_ NV_2.15_release_199233_signed.exe

This will do a complete Factory Reset for the phone, however S-off remains (meaning you can reinstall recovery utility)
After resetting your phone, you WILL be able to install Amon-RA from bootloader to flash roms, etc.
