I saw the 4 step process but figured it wouldn't apply to me because I have the newest OTA. I'm a total newbe to android, I'm coming from a TP2 and there is alot of info. Thanks for the help in advance and pardon my ignorance.

Do the SimpleRoot Method. I'm not going to write a guide for it, but I am going to do a video. It's pretty self-explanatory. Download it. You'll also need the latest HTC Sync install and MS Net Framework.

Unzip the downloaded file onto you pc and run the SimpleRoot.exe file.
Then just follow the directions on the screen.

There is no official 2.2 out yet. There are ported versions available but they still have some issues. Like the camera doesn't work.
When Sprint has the official one available, it will probably be pushed as an Over-The-Air (OTA) Update.
DO NOT DO THE OTA EVER!!!!
Soon after any upgrades done by Sprint, the smart developers we have here and at XDA get crackin' and they come up w/ a version that doesn't lock your phone down. Their version will always be better. Just wait a day or two.

run the RUU from the computer and it should flash!
If these are the correct instructions then it doesn't work for me!
Any other way to get back to stock?!

Some people have reported success going back to stock using the above method. When they get an error, they don't touch their phone, they just run the ruu again. After several failed attempts, it works for them.
However,that method doesn't work for me either. The only way I was able to go back to stock was to restore an old backup I have from 6/15. When I load that, then I can run the 1.32.651.1 RUU w/ no problem.
You also might try doing the original SimpleRoot method.

If you're able to apply the original SimpleRoot, then you should be able to use the RUU files to unroot the phone.
