24.10.2011   HTC Supersonic (EVO 4G) Unbrick, Unlock, IMEI, CID, ModelID repair supported

Resurrecting HTC Supersonic (EVO 4G) is easy. Phone is auto powered on with USB Data Cable connected to the PC. Battery presence is not required; connection can be established with detached board.
In case you have no USB cable near, make sure battery is charged enough and hold Power On button during initiation of JTAG connection.
Resurrector will reflash radio’s boot zone and will re-write PDA’s SPL to 2.16.0001 version. Additionally to SPL and Radio zones, the zone which contains Model ID is re-flashed too. Thus after resurrection phone will have Model ID = ‘PC3610000’.
Additionally, you can check ‘Repair RECOVERY zones’ to reflash android BOOT and RECOVERY code. If selected, then ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.2 will be flashed. Using this recovery you will be able to install zip files from the SD Card, for example you will be able to acquire ROOT rights by installing su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip file.
