Yep, I know how to un-root an EVO without a power in two different ways.
1. You can Run A RUU, this will restore your phone back to Stock, and will it go from S-off, to S-on. However it won't work if your EVO Is 100% Rooted(unrevoked forever), but you can givie it a try.
Here is a link follow the on-screen instructions when running the RUU on your computer.

2. Running a RUU can be really frustrating, what you also can do is couple of hands steps with the touchsreen with out touching a button. Its a ZIP FILE TO BRING YOUR PHONE FROM S-OFF TO S-ON with out using the RUU. You'll be doing all this from your phone, no computer really required.
1st) Make sure you download ROM MANAGER its in the market.
2nd) Make sure you also have some type of file manager your phone as well so you can locate the zip file on your sd card in the Download folder(optional, so you f up you can try again.)
3rd) Go to here http://unrevoked.com/root.../doku.php/public/forever on your phone browser and scroll down to "FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS" under that you'll see this
How can this be removed or undone if I need to take my phone in for service?
Download the latest ''S-ON'' tool to a temporary location and follow the installation instructions above to run it. Once your phone is S-ON, you may lose root permanently if you install an official update
Click the hot link on your phone, let it download when it finish downloading, Rom manager notification will pull up, install that, DON'T CLICK ON BACK UP AND WIPE OPTIONS, just hit OK, and It will do the whole process for you and reboot your phone and you'll will have gone from s-off to so-on, with out touching a button.
You can thank me later. Also tets, how can they check if the s-off, when his buttons don't work? lol. Usually some sprint stores don't care, my borked his EVO and he walked in with his EVO S-OFF and got a new one, with no problem, just make sure your being helped with a female rep, flirt a little, even if shes ugly, do it.
Thank you so much sir
