Root [RUU] Stock RUU - Unroot - Virgin Mobile 3D

Who is this for?

Make sure you relock your bootloader before trying to run the RUU.
To do that pull your battery out.
Put it back in
Hold Volume Down and Power Until you see the white screen.
Select Fastboot Which is the first option with the power button.
Once there make sure you have the fastboot drivers in your sdk folder.
Then type in cmd: fastboot oem lock

It should lock your bootloader successfully



1- Need to unroot

Hi,

I appreciate you posting the link. However when I tried it on my phone i noticed my phone had a newer version.

Do you have a link to the newest RUU ?

My phone says it has 1.14.652.0

Thanks !
There's only one RUU for the Evo V and you won't be able to install it while S-ON without downgrading your mainver.

What ROM do you have installed now and why are flashing the RUU?

can't flash ruu its giving me a bootloader error

What's the error? The most common two errors are:
1. You didn't lock the bootloader before running the RUU
2. You are s-on and are trying to run an older version of the RUU

Edit:

Just realized this is the Evo V. So another common problem is that you took the OTA. Which brings us back to problem 2. There is no RUU for the OTA, only the original release. But there is a tool you can flash first and then run the RUU if you had taken the OTA.

Note for S-ON users who have flashed the OTA:

Your main version (mainver) got upgraded to 1.14.652.0 when the OTA update was flashed and you can't downgrade to an RUU with a lower mainver when S-ON, so Step1 of this guide will not work with the OTA installed.

If you are not rooted and still have the stock ROM installed you can proceed to Step2 to HTC unlock and root your phone.

If you rooted after installing the OTA you will need to downgrade your mainver by flashing the "SetMainVersionLOW.zip" attached to this post from recovery, then flash the 1.13.652.2 RUU and proceed with Step2 and the remainder of the guide.

You can check your current mainver value with the "fastboot getvar mainver" command.
