[doug piston]

You can't. You need clockwork to flash s-on.

Umm I didn't even answer yet. But thanks. I love you too.



Edit: I have also now included in the OP the 3.26 build(which is newest) and the RUU for those who have troubles with the PB31IMG.

i'm trying to unroot my bosses dinc that's rooted on 2.1. all i want to do is get it up to whatever the newest update is and then root it again. i'm blown away by how difficult it is to root/unroot dincs. is this op the proper way to unroot, update, and then i can root again? sorry if i'm asking dumb questions, i'm just totally lost when it comes to dincs.

This will unroot and give you the newest software released by VZW.

and then i can just use unrevoked and root again? also is he going to lose everything as in a wipe? or is it just like getting and update.

Yes you'll lose everything, but there is no need to unroot to get the OTA

Ahh, Doug, I was just about to answer but you beat me to it!

Make sure your boss's contacts are saved as gmail contacts or Backup Assistant and they'll sync right back up once the phone comes back up.

sorry it took me so long, thanks for all of your help.

Call me a complete novice if you would like, but I need a little more information on working with the Clockwork Recovery. Do I need to put that file on my phone somewhere in order to flash it with Clockwork Recovery?

The reason I am asking is I need to unroot my device so I can take it to a local Verizon store. I have some problems with the touchscreen.

EDIT: Also, I just want to make sure, because it seemed a little vague, these instructions are also for the SLCD version of the Incredible, right?

 

[enlightened]

You are correct- the instructions work for both SLCD and AMOLED versions of the device.

So I have the new SLCD screen, but nowhere in the other posts did it say that the older unroot method would give me a black screen. So how do I fix that? Or is the phone completely useless now? If it's useless, will Verizon be able to tell that it was rooted if they can get the phone to display something?

There are posts on this forum about how bad it is.

Regardless follow the RUU method in the OP of this thread and should get you up and running again.
