Is it possible to reset your g1 after you jailbreak it?

[konzern]

what do u mean by reset? if you mean take it back to its original form (non-rooted) then thats a yes

if u mean reset it as in factory reset then thats a yes also

[DemetriusBuckner]

How would you reset it to its factory settings? Also how would you reset it to where its not rooted?

[DemetriusBuckner]

I meant to say can u reset a G1 when its bricked!
