Hey guys,
I recently bricked my MyTouch trying to upgrade to the new cyanogen ROM. I need help. I am going to send it back to T-Mobile under warranty, but I need revert back to the old SPL. I tried the "Unroot" procedure (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133), but it says "Checksum Incorrect!" I will also need the original recovery image.
Any Ideas or can you guys point me in the right direction? PLEASE HELP!! They said that if they find issues that were not covered by warranty (i.e. Rooting the phone), I will owe $390.
By the way, fastboot still works if that helps.
Think I might have figured it out. I'm a retard. The checksum issue was because my SAPPIMG.nbh file was 11 MB instead of 96 MB like it should have been! How I did that I don't know, but I will post again and confirm if it worked.
Worked! (Foot in Mouth)

Hi reisyboy,
If you flash in a proper way (meaning; Use USPL to unlock your device every time you flash with a new ROM), you can always go back to the factory ROM supplied by your provider.
I have downloaded the official -updated- ROM of T-M... before I was going to flash my phone. At a certain time I didn't see any improvement with an other ROM and flashed back in no time to factory settings. I have not used USPL for flashing back to the factory ROM. If you are having trouble finding the official ROM, try to find it in the Artemis-WIKI. Very usefull.
Read these instructions very good and you are in business
Grtz and good luck!
title says it all. running stock rooted. turns out, it has gone out of date. i am not running an alternate rom bcuz i need to return my evo in a few days (little bro cracked the screen). i just tried to unroot today, and got the main version older fail. i am on a mac, so any help would be much appreciated.
i have simular prob shipped roms .co has them as exe file run them in order full unroot i sadly have toasted usb which is needed to do this and right now can get fixed for like 30n bucks but cant figure how to get them on fone need flashable ,,,, ithink hope helps
pretty noobish just read alot recently with my prob
I know about these exe files. They are the sprint ruu files, and are common knowledge. The problem is, I don't have a pc. It would be great if I got a Mac fix.

Dont know if this is what you wanted but i've unrooted fine using this file just put in sd card and enter bootloader. I got it from the how to unroot thread in the dev forum the name of the guy i got it from escapes my mind at the moment.

I've got my G2 rooted and running cyanogenmod. My phone needs to be returned for a hardware malfunction. Is it in my best interest to un-root the phone, switch back to s-on, and reinstall the stock tmobile ROM? Has anyone else had this sort of situation arise? Thanks for your replies in advance.

Here's the easy way.
Thanks for the replies. I'll probably end up going back to stock just to be safe.
Hi, I sold my EVO on eBay and I need a way to return it to stock software. Thank you!
Download and flash the ODEXED version of the stock rom from here. Remember to do a full wipe/Factory reset prior to flashing. NOTE: The EVO will still be rooted.
Can I unroot it?

Sure you can, but why? You are selling it, right? It will still work normally and if the buyer is into rooting, he or she will be grateful and if the person is not into rooting, the device will automatically be unrooted when he or she accepts an OTA update from Sprint.
UPDATE: follow the steps here to unroot.
In the meantime, I don't want a problem with an inaccurate item description, as they make take it into Sprint for something.
I understand and updated my previous post to include a link to help you unroot.
Thank you 10char
You're very welcome. Enjoy the rest of your day...
How do I eliminate or decrease the possibility that it can't be rooted after O di this?
I'm not sure I follow you. I mean there is nothing you can do to prevent the buyer from rooting if he or she wants to do so.

Ok please help let me know what you guys think...
In theory could this same thing work given the following situation. My phone is rooted but the power button recently shorted and stopped working. Sprint didnt flag my phone as rooted but said get it back to stock and we will exhange it. Do you think it could work if I flash the odex using Rom MANAGER which ive never used to flash but im useless flashing through recovery with no "power button" to use as enter. Once I flash the rom using rom manager it will be back on sense from there can I then unroot without using the power button though bootloader or even HTC Sync because at that point I think HTC sync will recognize it? I hope all that makes sense im just trying to get my phone replaced. :/ Thanks!
**UPDATE** Scratch that Rom Manager took me to clockwork
Hello Everyone,
My wifes HTC Wildfire on T-Mobile was running like a dog and as I have a samsung Nexus S running Cyanogenmod 7 I suggested putting it on her phone. It took me alot longer to do so but is now rooted and running. Trouble is she hates it.
I need to revert back to the original T-Mobile rom please can anyone let me know how I need to do this. I remember when I had my HTC HD2 I had to flash offcial rom and it wiped all the custom stuff off. I need to do this tonight so if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.
Many Thanks

You didn't take a Nandroid Backup? Sorry, but in my view this was extremely careless, especially when you remove HTC Sense from someone's phone who is not much of a techie :/
Anyway, Shipped ROM does have a RUU of TMobile. (Eclair only though). You can access that here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Buzz
Why not put a sense based Rom like jokerdroid or Dk onto it ?
I know I totaly forgot to do a backup, I had just come home from a nightshift but I no thats no excuse Thanks for the link but I can't see which one I need to select? Would you be able to point me to the correct one please
I want to return it to stock as she is going to send it back as the phone hangs all the time and resets itself.
Please ignore that I have just seen it
