Yes you can, but I wouldn't bother. I've returned a dozen rooted and rommed phones to Virgin without any problems. As soon as they get them they flash a factory image to remove customers information and place the phone into a known state for troubleshooting.

This thread brings up a newbie question I've had that I haven't found good info yet when trying to search on my own (haven't tried to hard either I guess) but I'm sure is out there.
To run the stock ROM you can't have downgraded your HBoot (have to be 1.57(8) or jbear version of the same) which makes sense since that's stock ROM wasn't designed for people to unlock their bootloader, but other sense ROMs that are based on stock seem to vary between some that will run on lowered a hboot (such as Mobsters, NegaliteBlueRo,) while a few others around still require you to be on the higher one.
Could anyone share a link that explains why a custom ROM would still require that you be on the higher HBoot and if/what any advantages to that are? Is it simply a matter of the developer not wanting to take the time to modify the ROM to be able to flash it with a downgraded Hboot?
Maybe this question shouldn't be in this thread but it seemed to be a recurring issue for people that tried to flash this ROM that had downgraded their HBoot.

The difference is because of the hboots having different mount points, devs can and some do make it so stockish roms can use other hboots. That's why I always keep a nandroid of Harmonia in case I need a stock rom without the hassle of changing hboots from my normal 1.50.50.

You should also make some things with your ROM. Perfection- update. Thanks.

Please update link..
Unfortunately the op hasn't posted in 6 months. It's hard to say when/if it will ever be updated.
If you're lucky, maybe someone can PM you a mirror.

Links for stock ROM are still broken, could anyone upload a fresh copy?
I'd be happy to host this somewhere it wont' keep disappearing from.

I have a thread here with the ruu. It'll at least get you back to stock, to which you can add root to.
