WANTED: Unrooting How To

[dippedinsauce]

ok i hate to do this but every time i get close to getting this answer the thread goes dead and i did a search for "unroot" and didnt get too much

so from all the information i got

i cant go from jf1.42 to rc33 i have to flash rc29 because of test keys
now does that mean download rc29 and put it in root of the sdcard rename it update.zip and run it or do i need to do more?

like i said in the other thread its sort of urgent because i have to send my phone back to tmobile soon

thanks for any help

yeah, rc29, and if you want you can upgrade to stock rc33 by doing a short cut to device info using anycut app

I don't understand why someone would go through the trouble of rooting and then unroot the phone. There is no functionality loss beside automatic updates (which you get sooner if you manually update). Even if you have no real use for a rooted phone what if an update permanently dissables your ability to reroot your phone and something amazing comes out that requires a rooted phone? you'd be kicking yourself over it.

You might want to go back and read the tread, He needs to send it back to t-mo and probably doesn't want to risk warranty void..

ya thanks bratman i was just going to say that

yes im unrooting because i need to send this phone back, plus ever since i rooted, everything has been force closing frequently so i dont know if im going to reroot my new phone
plus i didnt really use any rooting feature and havent needed to, all i did was uninstall amazon and that didnt even bug me that much

oh ya but thank you for answering that ill give it a try when i get my new phone soon

That's interesting, because I've been thinking of doing the JF thing but only to have all my apps/apps data on the SD card.... I haven't seen much talk on the downside of the mod... doesn't anyone who has modded have problems with the JF rooted modded G1...

Let me know or maybe we should start a new thread

hey moderator what do you think?

Very informative thread, let`s keep this one going.

ok well i just got rc29 put it in the root of my sdcard and updating, its going at the moment ill keep you posted to see if this works

ok it downgraded it to rc30 i guess it wasnt rc29, anyway how can i tell that i dont have root access with this rc30, im trying to make sure i dont void any warrantys and i just want it back to factory everything

Under the "Kernel version" in Settings -> About phone, does it say "jesusfreke" or is there JF (or whatever you used) in there?

If not, then you likely have it back to stock. You can also download the terminal emulator from the Market and see if it connects and if you can login as "su". If you can't, then you removed root.

Or you can wait and see if you get the RC33 OTA update. If you do, then you're back to stock because the JF mod turns off OTA update.

Being as you went from RC33 to RC30, then you more than likely still have root, as I don't know if there's a stock RC30 update.zip file out there. If I were you, I'd go back and download the RC29 file (should be something like DREAIMG.zip). Unzip the file, put it on the device and follow the steps just to flash to RC29, and let the system OTA back up to RC33.

Make sense?

um ya so with rc29 which is dreaming.nbh i put that on root folder then do the hold camera thing?

p.s. they gave me a phone with rc30 -.- how rude now i have to put rc33 on here lol
