ouch - sorry man, no experience with that bootloader - actually really know one of them hopefully one of the seasoned vetrans will be around soon to direct you to the proper file to flash for that bootloader. The good news is that you are already s-on, which is often the tough part to fix.

Well he may still have su in his rom or have a recovery if he has s-on but looking to unroot he may have not known he needed s-on/off. If i remember right the original exploit for the evo left s-on but installed cwm and su and the su bins

Lol su = superuser aka root access and su bin is the binary files that allow superuser to work inside the rom along with busybox

There's an ruu you can flash thru bootloader which will take care of you, you just need to find the one that says RUU_supersonic_www_your radio version here.zip or something similar I haven't used an RUU in so long I don't remember the exact name format but you'll recognize it. Check captn throwbacks thread he usually has a list of downloadable RUUs in both zip and exe format. If you have a windows VM on your Mac you can run the exe version from there or just flash the zip version in the bootloader by renaming it PC36IMG.zip put in on your SD card without being in any folders and then boot to the bootloader and follow the on-screen prompts to update

Download the file from this link.

http://goo.im/stock/supersonic/ruu/P...563_signed.zip

Rename it PC36IMG.zip (not PC36IMG.zip.zip) and place it on the root of your SD card. Reboot into your bootloader, and accept the update when it asks you.
