How do I flash back to Sprint?

I've got a Sprint HTC Evo that was flashed to work with Cricket. What do I have to do to get it back to working for Sprint? I talked to Sprint and the ESN is clean so no issues there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I really don't know, but I would think running ruu on desktop may set it back completely stock.

flashing any non criket rom should do the trick

Thanks.
I downloaded the RUU it ships with, thanks to ppcgeeks:
RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15. 00.07.28_NV_1.40_release_140444_signed.exe
File Size: 193Mb
And got HTC Sync from htc.com. Now all I need to do is use the Sync to put the RUU on the phone?
Is there any best way to do this or pitfalls I should watched out for?

I think you will just put the file in the root of your SD...then boot to fastboot. It should automatically scan for the ruu.

Well, yes the ruu will probably be cleanest way to go so, yes your right. I'm a MAC user so I know nothing of HTC Sync but it won't hurt to install it and then run the ruu. I would go with the newest ruu. But really, any for the evo will go perfect. Also, just to be extra clean with it, wipe everything in your recovery before. And so you know, the new unrevoked works with all current evo versions. And another note, if you plan on keeping the phone rooted but want to run the ruu, flash unrevoked forever (before you run the ruu) and you won't loose root no matter what until you flash unrevoked s-on(unrooter.)
XDA's evo development section has a thread which has all of the ruu's for the evo.

Where should I get the latest RUU? I just tried to run the one I got from ppcgeeks and it errored out.
It gave "ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR"
I connected it through HTC Sync and ran the RUU from my desktop on my PC
I'm going to try the 3.3 RUU from shipped-roms and see if that works.
For reference the HBOOT on my EVO is 0.97.0000

probably need to flash radio and wimax also.

I thought the RUU handled the radio and wimax? I thought that the fact that it had _Radio_ in the title of the RUU meant it handled it? No?
If not, then how to I flash those?
UPDATE:
The 3.3 RUU installed just fine, and during the process it said "Updating radio...". Now let's see if it will activate [fingers crossed]

Some include all 3 and some are just the phone rom. I use Sprint Lovers. He shows 2 versions to download.

I am in the same situation, I have tried everything to get it back on sprint to no avail. Anyone else have some more options? I am un-rooted and back to stock, but still cant get data to go through on this damn phone.

Need help with the mytouch!

I hav the epic 4g and the hero before this on the day it came out and all this mytouch talk is confusing....
I wanna help my friend use android tether so we can play over xbox live. Don't care about lag h just wants to get on for the party since he's only gonna be playing halo wars for the time being....
So if any of you can help id appreciate it ^_^
His mytouch has no 3.5mm jack so idk if that would mean anything...he also has cm running on it (an extremely old version) so I wanna put him back to stock first so that I can put a nice clean flash on whatever rom has usb tethering enabled, so if anyone knows how to do that that'd be great too!

There are tethering apps on the market. Have you tried any of them. You can use the superwipe to wipe the phone and get a clean install so you dont have to go back to stock.

The tethering apps on the market are trials
And superwipe? WIll that just wipe the current rom or take any and all modifications off? Id prefer the latter so that I will be able to tell exactly what's wrong if anything goes wrong because thered be no unknown variables for me

Here is a guide to unroot get to 2.2 ota stock and root again so you will have the new radio spl if you want it.
1.) Follow the directions here to downgrade to 1.6 donut and upgrade to stock Android 2.2 and Use the Root method there ~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807899
Or you can go to ezterry's 14mb hack page if you have fastboot enabled on your pc and grab those if you want. Here is the link to that. You have to have fastboot enabled and again follw the instructions to the T. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
The superwipe will wipe everything just like fastboot erase system -w but supposed to be better i will find you links.
Here is a link to superwipe. Just follow the instructions there to a T. You have to power down in recovery and boot directly back to recovery for it to work. Also make a backup FIRST. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834812&highlight=superwipe

Are you wanting to use one of the newer roms or older? That might make a difference in deciding to upgrade to the new radio/spl or not. Im not sure if any of the newer roms have tethering in it or not. Thats why i ask. I know the older ones do. Like Enomther's 1.6 for example

Well any working rom will do. You've been a great help!!!!!!!!!!
also, by older roms do you mean pre-official froyo? Or just like a rom that was last updated in november? Because if you mean pre-froyo I'll downgrade to 1.6 and then just go on from there to see if it'll work and then once I see its possible I'll put him on oficial froyo and tell him he's gonna have to wait or be stuck with the first os he had (he hated 1.6 LOL!)

If he hated 1.6 have you thought about 2.1? What is he on now? I believe there are 2.1 roms out there with tethering in it already. I believe you can rip the tethering out of a rom and just install it on your phone with whatever you have flashed at the time as well.
And yes i mean pre-froyo. Donut or eclair
Also have you tried barnacle wifi tether. I hear it works. I dont personally use tethering

Help with Epic Experience Rom freezing

Hey guys, i have a epic 4g, and i have it rooted with a custom recovery. I loaded the Epic Experience Rom on it with the Mixup Kernel and everytime it boots up it freezes. So i than i thought it was the ROM, so i installed the AM_TrulyEpic_DK28_v2.06.12.10. This ROM doe not freeze, but i do not pick up signal on it. so than i went back to the Epic Experience and now it freezes at the samsung screen. So i'm guessing something with the boot and the ROM isn't compatible? can somone please tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Your flashing a dk28 rom without the dk28. Why not try reading the op of roms for install requirements and instructions
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

well the thing is i dont really care about the dk28 rom, the reason i installed that one was just to test if my phone was bad thus freezing or if the rom was not compatible with the build. I ultimately want to use the Epic Experience ROM with the epic. Is that ROM not compatible with certain builds?

You can install the eclair version of epic experience on 2.1, and its an ok rom, but if youre on 2.1 the syndicate rom is the best. But if you want the epic experience on froyo (aka the one thats updated) you need to flash DK28 uusing odin

I did flash the Eclair one first, but i will definately try to do the dk28 and see what happens. but for future references, is there a way i can find out if a phone is dk28/dl18? so i dont mess it up?
thanks

What you did wrong the first time was try to run a 2.1 kernel on 2.2 and now that you flashed a new rom that had the right kernel, you need to flash three dk28 modem. This needs to be done with a program called Odin. Search for odin dk28 modem and you SHOULD be able to find it.

[Q] Image version reported by RUU prior to unrooting

Hey guys.. My Shift 4G has been rooted for quite some time, and I had been running CM 7.1 RC1 most recently.. After the past several weeks, I have experimented with various ROMs and Radios.. At one point I did upgrade the radio firmware to 1.08.00.0506 and the WiMax Radio to 27240.
I had also experimented with the rooted 2.76.651.4 Sense ROM posted by x99percent.. I wasn't thrilled with Sense, and ended up going back to CM7.1 RC1.. I also downgraded the radio 1.07.00.1129 and WiMax back to 27167.
Since I was playing around with the various ROMs and Radios, my Shift will never charge above 85%.. I am familiar with clearing batterystats.bin - and had tried various measures to get the battery to charge above 85%.. I used Battery Monitor, and it showed that basically around 85%, the Shift was turning off the internal charging circuit (Current would show usually less than 100mA..)
Thinking that perhaps something was sticking around from my various experimentations, I decided to use the original RUU (RUU_Speedy_Sprint_WWE_1.17.651.1_Radio_1.07.00.1129_NV_SPCS_1.52_1103_release_160079_signed) to revert back to stock and start over.
One of the things that came up when I ran the RUU was it showed the current image version as 2.76.651.4.. This was even though my radio was 1.07.00.1129. Does anyone know why that would be reported that way?
I'm currently on the original sense RUU, and now it appears to be charging correctly. Once it does, I'll re-root and go back to CM7.1 RC1.
Thanks,
Rick

Once your on the RUU how are you going to root again with a s-on bootloader?

Sorry about posting to the wrong forum.. I PM'd the mod to have it moved to Evo Shift 4G General.
The thing that did not make sense to me was the fact that I had restored my Nandroid backup from CM7.1 RC1, and restored the radio with the bootloader to 1.07.00.1129. I ran the RUU against CM7.1 RC1 and radio version 1.07.00.1129.

I used the orignal RUU for Froyo -- not the Gingerbread RUU.

Oh my bad haha. I was about to say...you should be good to re-root then no? I flashed the new radio's manually just fine over cm7. Still on the same radio's and cm7 to this day

EVO SHIFT BOOTS then Reboots ect...

Hello all , well I had it working great, used the HTC unlock procedure, because i`m at 1.50 HBOOT S-ON "Unlocked" ... installed the manual recovery, then flashed it with FRESH 4.1 for shift, it seemed fine, then I got into installing apps and it glitched on me and went into this reboot cycle....
Guess I did`nt wipe it right or something, because all it will do is turn on and say "FRESH" then reboot and does the same.....
I downloaded the stock RUU and it fails says" error recovery failed" I have tried everything and spent hours on this 1....
Is there anyone out there with a Nandroid Backup file ?
is that what I need ? i`m screwed here....
you guidance would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance Bill

What is this FRESH you talking about? I haven't seen a rom with that name over here, are you sure this rom was made for the Evo Shift 4G? I know theres a HTC Shift which is diferent than our phone.

I believe he is referencing this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347928

It's available in development thread and it is for the EVO Shift 4G.

Yes thats the 1
Its called Fresh 4.1
I used Fresh for the past 16 months on my EVO4G and figured it was a safe bet on the shift.........
Any ideas on what i can do ???????

Im not sure but if you unlocked with the htc tool, you have to delete the boot.img from the rom .zip, and than fastboot flash the kernel...

Yes it is unlocked with the HTC tool, and at 1.5.0 Hboot S-on........ but like I said I was able to load the fresh rom on it...
How can I do what you say as I now have a paperweight
Thanks again

You might want to go thru the root process if its still s-on, the ruu your using might be rooted version, try downloading the ruu from HTC sight or try factory reset from bootloader.

s-on will always show on 1.5 Hboot units after running HTC unlock tool... It does say "unlocked" now, I have done another phone like this and it worked fine....this one just glitched on me.
I tried the stock RUU from HTC and it fails,and have tried factory reset.... to no avail .....Help !!!!

You keep saying hboot 1.5, AFAIK the Shift doesn't have a bootloader with that version number. I know the EVO 3D was locked down with the 1.5 bootloader, is that what you are referring to?
If you are using a Shift and have used the unlock tool, you should look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1490747. If you could flash the misc.img, then maybe you could get the ruu to work.

God i feel foolish, YES ITS A 3D i`m talking about ,i`m sorry
So the 3D with fresh 4.1 is in a boot loop if you wanna call it that .......

So your evo 3d is in a boot loop because you flashed a evo shift rom onto it?

No when it boots it says FRESH EVO3D
No when it boots it says FRESH EVO3D.........
Problem is it just keeps rebooting and so on...
I have tried everything

So why does this thread exsist again?

:facepalm:
Do not flash Shift roms on your 3vo kid. You're in the wrong forum.
edit: It sounds like you flashed a 3vo rom on your shift?
Please clarify.

No it's a evo 3D he's on. He has a thread over there also.
