Root Trying to restore to stock

[strangeLady]

Hey so I'm trying to restore to stock unrooted. I have an HTC Evo V 4G and it's s-on. I may have tried a couple things that didn't work. I can't get out of the bootloader and into recovery, phone won't boot either. I've tried the RUU.exe here: http://androidforums.com/cdma-evo-3...527-rom-update-utility-ruu-all-downloads.html but it didn't work. It gives error 140 (bootloader version error).

I'm assuming this is a soft brick? Is there any way out of it? I'm trying to get the phone set up to give to someone else, there's nothing personal on there I'm concerned about, I just want to get it back to stock.

Also if I'm wrong and this is a hard brick, or it's just basically gonna take me hours and hours to fix this, just tell me and I'll tell my friend it's a no-go. I'd rather not waste a lot of time trying to fix it.

I've moved this into the Evo V 4G forum so you can get the proper support. :thumbup:

Sorry, I didn't realize I was in the wrong place -__- Thanks

I'M A DUMB!

Well I didn't realize the bootloader needed to be unlocked to get anything that I was trying to work. I read in a couple places that the bootloader needed to be locked to use the RUU but I guess that's for s-off only?

So I guess I'm okay now? Just gotta find the stock Virgin Mobile ROM .zip to flash. I should be able to Google that.

Really? That's weird, things must've changed since I last had to do this on my old evo 3d before ics was officially released on the 1.50 hboot.

Back then it had to be relocked to run any RUU.

If you are s-on, you still need a locked bootloader to run the RUU.

Strange Lady, your problem is likely that your main version is too high. You need to unlock your bootloader again, install 4ext recovery, flash this file, re-lock the bootloader and then run the RUU.
