Default Can't uninstall a theme on 1.4

I have searched through several other forum posts and there are none that deal specifically with 1.4.

I've tried:
-using QI and going to device management,
-using QI and going to the linux command line
-using pre-ware(I don't have a theme section in preware, and I didn't install the theme through preware)
-erasing apps and data
-running terminal

I really need this theme(nexus pre) off, such a hassle.

Just an update, I did the full secure reset and the theme is still on the phone, I need to remove it because I'm trying to return the phone. I don't care what gets deleted, I just need to reset the phone.

a) In WebOS Quick Install, choose Themer, not device management. From there you can reset to default theme.

b) If option A doesn't work for some reason, you can also WebOS Dr (will erase everything) or use WebOS Repair Utility (will try to repair changed OS files back to default).

- Remove all patches
- Run the Jason's Repair Utility (be sure to download your correct webosdoctor)
--- This method will not erase everything, just your patches and theme.

Done and done.

Using themer, doesn't work. I just wanted to check back to say I ended up using doctor, which I see you recommended.
