Root [Guide] Re-flash stock ROM (RUU) after bricking a rooted device

illujo · Feb 11, 2013

Hi guys,
I think I did everything as instructed, and when i try to flash recovery in cdm it says "access denied". I tried running cmd as administrator, doesn't do anything.

I'm not sure if I installed SDK tools properly. I downloaded it and unzipped it in C:\Android. Is that it?

Note: I'm running Win 8.

On Sunday night I got frustrated with my phone always being out of memory and was reading some site that claimed to have a great new ROM that has lots of space so I decided I would flash it and if I bricked it I would just get a new phone.

And sure enough, it was totally the wrong ROM for my phone and I bricked it. But I'm a stubborn sort, and after a few days of messing around I downloaded the right RUU for my Virgin Mobile phone (RUU_Marvel_C_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.02.652.00_Radio_0.94.00.0824_NV_VM_1.25_0815_PRL61007_release_219164_signed.exe), ran it, used 7.zip to get the recovery.img, system.img and boot.img files out of the temp folders and put them in my android folder.

Then I put my phone in fastboot mode and from a dos prompt at my android folder I ran:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img

I rebooted my phone, and after some loading screens it came back factory fresh like it was brand new.

Thanks for all the folks in this forum that posted info that helped me.

3. Run the RUU until the wizard comes up. While the RUU wizard is open, find the temporary folder it created. (Open Explorer in Windows and type %temp% in the navigation bar.) There will be two folders with long encrypted names. In one of them you will find ROM.zip. Open it with 7zip and extract recovery.img. Put it in the location were you've installed Android SDK tools. This is the stock HTC Recovery and it is needed to run the RUU.

Hi guys!

Shame or not I stucked at the step 3. I found the ROM.zip file, copied to another folder, then 7zip says it's not an archive. I downloaded 3 different RUUs, but happens the same. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
