So I rooted my phone for the dumbest reason...so I could take screen shots lol anyways, it's been freezing up with the texting and stuff. I was wondering if there is anyway to unroot it. Please someone help.
That's a funny reason to root your phone.....anyway, just flash a stock rom. Make sure you wipe first.

What is wiping
Boot into recovery (hold volume down and power at the same time, after white bootloader screen appears, select recovery), now in recovery select wipe data/factory reset, then select wipe cache, then select advanced, then wipe dalvik cache - wiping dalvik is optional in clockworkmod, since it is already wiped in the previous steps (this is the menu and steps for clockworkmod recovery, RA recovery is similar)
Anytime you flash a new rom or kernel, wiping gives you a clean slate helping prevent future issues.

I tried to do a Nadroid restore, but after restoring all I get is an endless bootloop. I did a complete wipe before restoring, so I can't think of what can be going wrong. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Fwiw I'm using clockwork for my recovery.
Did you try pulling the battery?
I had the same problem. I posted yesterday, but no reply.

what he said
How do you wipe cache and dalvik from bootloader? When in bootloader the only option I see is data wipe.
in recovery mode then to wipe make sure u do it twice to the 3 of them if not it will happen again'
I searched and didn't find the answer. I perform a dalvik cache wipe via Clockwork and I don't get any confirmation it did anything. It just sends me back to the previous menu screen. Is this normal?

which version? the older versions of clockwork had a bug that it didnt actually work to clear dalvik but if you update to the newest one available it does now (easiest way is just to install rom manager and let it update it for you)
mine doesn't show anything either. it pauses for a few seconds though so i'm assuming that it does it i've got 2.5.0.1 which i think is the newest one for the EVO.
I have ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1
It says it's the latest version
Mine does the same thing
What's a few extra seconds to make sure the dalvik is emptied?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
On the Evo, the Dalvik cache is located in the /data directory, which is itself completely wiped when you do a data wipe / factory reset. If you do this first, then try the Dalvik wipe, it will just go back with no pause or confirmation. If you try to wipe Dalvik before wiping /data, it may pause a bit longer (0.7 seconds, maybe) and then return with no confirmation.
Either way, if you do a /data wipe you will be wiping Dalvik, but upgrade CWM if you're worried about it.
I've just rooted my phone and now require a ROM which doesn't have sense UI, what one would be my best option?
Thanks
Anything with AOSP in the title
and CM7, cant forget that
The best vanilla Rom I have tried is redux, I found it much quicker than ginger villain.

I just tried to flash gingervillian on my phone but I think I must have made a mistake somewhere as it got to the gingervillian load screen and then just got caught in a loop where it'd just replay the animation of it. I then had to do a restore to sort my phone out.
I did follow the unlockr guide but it doesn't help that the guy is using an Evo instead of a Desire and the menu's are totally different in the Clockworkmod screen.
At one point he says you need to wipe the dalvik cache but I couldn't find this so just wiped the cache. So this might have been the problem? Also do you need to wipe anything else at this point?
You need to wipe everything, what recovery are you using - CWM or AmonRA?
I'm using the CWM recovery.
Dunno then, in AmonRA you choose 'Wipe' and all options are in there. Must be something similar in CWM
I've checked again and I have two wipe menus:
1. Wipe data/ factory reset
(under this I have: Delete all user data)
2. Wipe Cache Partition
(in this I have: Wipe cache)
Hmmm, not as many as AmonRA - find that surprising but probably better to see what someone else says

After you do the first 2 wipe's go to advanced its the last menu and do wipe dalvik cache, after that it should work fine...

What do you mean by after I do the first two wipes?
Do I delete user data, wipe cache and also then wipe dalvik cache.
Thanks.
Yes. A "full wipe" means wiping the User data/cache/dalvik cache. So wipe all three:
1. Wipe data/ factory reset
2. Wipe Cache Partition
3. Wipe dalvik cache
The order does not matter.
Ah OK thanks.
I don't like the sound of having to 'wipe/ delete all user' data though, does this mean I'll lose all my contacts, calender entries, notes etc?
Yes, but if coming from another ROM you HAVE to do it. Do a nandroid backup before flashing a new ROM and backup any other data using Titanium Backup
I'm not coming from another ROM but regardless I'll do the Titanium backup and do the three wipes and try it again.

Well I've done it and unfortunately have been having alot of hassle trying to get it to be stable. These are the two main issues:
1. I can't seem to get psx4droid to work properly. When I go to load a game by selecting its data.bin file the screen goes black for a few seconds and then returns to the select screen, instead of firing up the game. Does psx4droid actually run on gingervillain?
2. Also I have the other extremely annoying issue where if I turn my phone off it will not get any further than the gingervillain splash screen and just freezes on it. The only way passed this is to then go into CWM and wipe all the user data again!
Can anyone help with these two problems?
Use Oxygen 2.0.1 and download ADW Launcher, sounds like what you want, i have flashed just about all the ROM's and i reckon Oxygen is the best, then use UOT Kitchen to make some cool mods and ADW Launcher EX speeds it up alot also.
Plus its very stable and you wont get any boot loops or anything.

I think you should have wiped everything except sd card...not just cache and dalvik
Try it again and wipe more.
Go back to recovery, go to wipe menu, wipe everything on the list except for SD-Card atleast 2x, reflash the rom, wipe cache and dalvik cache again, then reboot and you should be on your homescreen in less than 5 mins, if it continues to boot loop pull the battery and just reboot it and see if it will boot on the 2nd try if not try flashing a different rom, or restore the backup you made*hopefully you followed the directions and made one*

I also find that doing a factory reset as well as re-downloading the Rom again to be helpful. Sometimes it may be a bad download of the Rom.

When u wipe everything but SD.card it factory reset/data wipes as one of the options, I always wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe system, wipe boot, wipe sd-ext atleast 2x before switching roms and when going from different versions or from aosp to sense or vice versa I wipe 3-5x and then wipe cache and dalvik between add on flashes and after I'm done flashing before I reboot and I've never had a bad flash or bootloop

Agreed, with Smurf, also, don't have your phone plugged into your usb port. For some reason, on many ICS ROMs, you'll just be stuck at the white screen
when you wipe the system or do a full wipe does that remove the TWRP recovery mode. I wiped to go to a new ROM before but I could not get back into TWRP recovery menu and had to re-install it all over again. IS this the case every time you wipe the system?
No, wiping system only wipe the ROM. I did run into the same problem once with an older version of TWRP. Haven't had any problems with TWRP 2.6.3.1 yet(knocking on wood)

Short answer, no. It is highly abnormal for the recovery image to be wiped/corrupted from a reset/wipe. But then again, twrp has seen its fairshares of hiccups. Maybe it was just a fluke, luck of the draw.

Whenever I flash roms or restore nandroid backups, I always do a factory/data reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache. Then I proceed to flash. Never had any problems. Sorry that you had to redo everything :-{
