Rooted via Toast - How to unroot?

How do you unroot? I'm going to be returning this phone (Sprint got me angry for certain reasons). How do I unroot so that I can return it and not have it seen as out of warranty

It's that easy? If so, thank you very much.

Just be careful which one you flash. If you flash a rom that closes the ability to root you are screwed if you ever want to go back. Back a page or two someone posted the original Ruu from sprint which has the shipping EVO rom. Thats what you need to use to go back to stock and don't accept updates if you want to preserve your future root.

For now yes, that may not always be the case. In the event some poor soul searches the forum like a good noob and sees that its not a big deal, flashes a Sprint RUU that breaks root and ends up screwed.

Well I'm returning the phone so future root's isn't a concern but thank you!

Where did you find the Stock ROM? I can't find one. All I can find is the RUU. I'm sorry if these are dumb questions but I am new to this.

Rooting question

Just bought the G2 today. Love everything about it so far. Ive looked through the stickies and cant seem to find the proper rooting method for my device. I dont have a computer at the moment. I would like to perma root it, flash clockwork and maybe try some roms. Im used to rooting i used to have the evo and rooted it with the pcimg. Zips so im not brand new to this. If someone could please give me a recap on things i should know or point me in the right direction i would much appreciate it thank you.

Well, you could try the Q&A section =p but you need a computer as far as I know

You're a rooting/flashing noob, not an Internet/google noob. Search the forums. There's a world of useful material for all of us here. There's no reason to be spoon fed

[Q] Stock UN-ROOTED RUU for VZW M7

I have been searching all morning for an RUU that I can use to get back to stock. Everything I find is either broken links or links to rooted RUUs.
Can anyone please direct me to an RUU that is not rooted that I can use to get back to stock?

Please try searching using Google, if you're unable to find the information on XDA. I found this, using a simple search

That's great but the file on the link you gave for Verizon M7 is 99 MB whereas the signed RUU on this thread is 1.2 GB.
I also don't think it's helpful to tell people to search Google, particularly when I say in my post "I've been searching all morning".
Thanks

You posted a question in the dev section.
He was kind and moved it where it may get answered or replied to. instead of deleting it.
If you look at the second post in my stock thread, there might be some files of interest.
Otherwise use the rooted ruu that's available and then simply unroot...

Yes, thanks I found your thread after posting my question so I think I'm all set. The only thing I'm not sure of is whether or not I can use fastboot to flash a signed (encrypted) RUU or if it has to be decrypted.

[Q] stock rooted 157?

can someone point me to a 157 stock rooted rom? i can't seem to find it anywhere on this forum. Unless it doesn't exist for some reason?thanks in advance

you are kidding me???
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/rom-d550314-4-0-157latest-t2957307

1) check your sarcasm, i'm not your son
2) that's not stock
3) if this is all that's available, i will use it, thank you for pointing me to it.

There is some threads about it that's first. Second you should even type in google or on xda here couple words before starts new thread. Third you should flash 108 kernel than use newroot and after that flash again 157 kernel. And that's all procedure
Happy flashing

I wouldn't be here unless my searches came up fruitless.
Answer me this, if i do the OTA update and root that, would it reset my bootloader? i know it will reset the recovery

I think I remember reading if you do an OTA with an unlocked bootloader you could brick it.

People are baffled how others, especially People with around 500 posts can start such threads when the methods to root can be found in the General section, which have been there for weeks, and if you've not found a stock rooted ROM or as close as in the first few pages of both development threads that suits your needs then you're out of luck. Simply flash a stock ftf and root it if you want a clean as possible ROM, then mod it to your own needs.

Thats most People say who start such threads when what they're asking for is usually on the first or second page of the General section. http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...rmeare-d5503customized-de1279-697814-t2931326

how you feel about it is irrelevant, if i'm telling you my search didn't work, it didn't work. Why would i voluntarily be dicking around here wasting time with you sarcastic people?
I appreciate the link

Again, members with nearly 500 posts should know where to find the most common files, so telling People you've searched, except for using your eyes as pointed out, then expect a little sarcasm.
