[Q] How to unroot and get slide back to OEM?

For reference how would I go about getting the phone back to complete stock? I have tried 2 ROMs so far, CR_Mod_1.35.531_OTA Full ROM and CyanogenMod-6 for MT3G Slide - V6.0.0-RC1. Just in case that information is relevant. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

You are kidding right? you use the search bar yet?

The poster was not rude when he asked his question, i'm not sure why you felt the need to reply in the manner that you did. If you don't have a reply or find the informaton yourself by the time I get home, bud, ill post the thread.

I agree with you, but seriously... a lot of these questions that are being asked (in the development forum nonetheless) should be going in Q&A obviously. Not to mention that pretty much any question that gets asked generally can be answered in The Slide Rom Bible Thread.

Yeah please search next time. Sorry for the previous poster but serioulsy we have people asking thed same questions over and over again and clogs up the forum. Also technically is in wrong section should be in qa so please be carefull of this for future posts
The answer you are looking for is in the bible thread. Flash the champion build with those instructions and would be unrooted.

I apologize for the rudeness, my jerk of a brother also has a slide and frequents this forum. he uses my laptop seeing as he doesnt have one and used my account seeing as it is saved in the browser. again my sincere apologies.
Edit: Fell free to Pm me whenever you need help Xerphon. again my apologies.

I think there was a spot on his butt you forgot to kiss.
Why do you people thing there is a Q & A section is this subforum?! YOU CANNOT post your question in the most popular subforum section just because you think you'll get a quicker answer here. This happens way too much to be accidential and everybody still claims it was.

I apologize for posting in the wrong place, and I did check the Slide Bible but didn't see anything... anyway, thanks encrypti0n for the help.

Really? It's the second post in the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6846976&postcount=2

Sorry for not checking the second thread in that post, once again I apologize for wasting the 3 seconds it took you to read the thread title and the other 30 seconds it took for you to decide to throw your 2 cents in after I already apologized. Once again, thanks encrypti0n for your help. Hopefully we can consider this matter closed now, I made a mistake no need to repeatedly throw it in my face.

Isn't there a esprimg.img file flying around here that is a full factory espresso rom?
Edit: heres to me thinking the champ rom was a regular rom and not a esprimg.zip factory flash. >_>

Well I got my replacement from tmob for my mt3gs and now I have tried just about every thread I can and nothing gets rid of root. 3 weeks ago I was asking for help to get rooted and now that is a breeze but getting it back to factory is another story. I have looked and looked and literally tried all the posts that pertain to the espresso my touch 3gs. Not a real big deal since I have the replacement but who knows it would be nice to have it stock just so there isn't any problems. I even tried the bilbe and the threads that encrypti0n posted and well all I can find but I still have root. I asked for root and I got it

You have got to be kidding me. Obviously you either didn't search at all or you don't know how to use it. I did ONE search and found the exact thread with everything you need. I searched the ENTIRE slide section (not just this section), and found it sitting there on the first page of search results. The only search term I used was the word Unroot. Here it is you lazy bums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705345&highlight=UNROOT
Oh yeah, and I have used this method and it DOES work! I have unrooted 2 to be replaced already.

I guess I was right, you really didn't search or look at anything on your own. The same link I just posted is listed right here on the 2nd post in the Bible thread. Stop wasting other people's time and look for it on your own next time.

Wow so hostile with everything Well here is the long and the short of it. I tried this thread and all the others as well and when it came down to it I made a typo in one of the directories and didn't catch it until now. I wouldn't have posted and or asked without trying everything first. I don't like to bother people. Well at least it proves I am human and not a god like some people. Yes it worked well and yes it did restore to factory. Thanks for the effort..

Well either way, I am glad it at least worked for you in the end.

[Q] Is there a quicker way to deal with nandroid backups?

I have 15 nandroid backups. What is the quickest way to get rom info (like what you get in options and about phone), names of apps installed and pull all the sms? I see that they are image files can I mount them in ubuntu and just browse? Tried but nothing worked so far. Is there away I can mount the images in the emulator? I have been restoring them to my phone 1 by 1 but its time consuming and leaves me without a phone while its flashing. Is there a faster way to go about this or am I stuck flashing a couple a time?

LMAO....No I didn't cut the link short! Like rushco said, I meant to direct you to the Q&A section where this question belongs and I did it in a rather sneaking way instead of being a rude SOB to you and getting your feeling hurt........Learn from this and just don't do it again.

I posted a question there over 6 months ago and I did not get a single reply that subforum is garbage im better off on my own... I marked the post as a question and if they don't want me asking questions here why is there a "Is this post a question" checkbox in this subforum? As you can see I don't make threads daily for the simple reason of making threads. If I make a thread is because I have a question whose answer I believe will help many in the future. As you can see from my last thread most of those answers are simple for a dev even now after 6 months of using android I can answer or provide alternatives for most of them. There are not enough knowledgeable people in Q&A and posting there is a waste of time. Yes I have searched and not just this forum. Maybe ill go to the ubuntu forums see if they can point me in the right direction for mounting the images.

For some reason you seem to think forums are mutually exclusive. Never said I was leaving simply said I would try more than one place for a solution. Thanks now the thread was moved to q&a so all future responses will be as useless as yours. BTW toast thanks for moving the thread without input. Don't worry about my feelings when you troll as much as I do you don't take anything online personal I think you should know that.

I just been doing backups since I started flashing roms and for some reason did not think to back up sms. I have been flashing them its time consuming but its weird to see what my phone looked like (widgets/wallpaper/lockscreen/topbar/launcher) several months ago its like going back in time none of them are the same. Im starting to delete them now since I took the long way I haven't really had time to find an alternate method. If I find how later I will post a separate thread to save some time in the future.

If you want to backup you sms messages, I believe there is an app, sms backup that others use.

As stated before, you should check if something disrupts the display. Happened to me once when my phone was on the bed and I wanted to press anything on the screen, the notification bar would open. Turned out to be my glasses which partly covered the display at the top
This question should have been posted in the Q&A section, however.

Almost every single one of your comments is you ranting and bringing others down. Seriously, cut it out. This forum is here to help people and not to make them feel bad or inferior. Even if the question was posted in the wrong forum, doesn't mean you have the right to treat others like that.

Just because they're new it doesn't give them right to spam dev section. They simply lack brain, otherwise I can't explain how is possible to post question here instead of Q&A.

And just because they're new doesn't give YOU the right to bring them down. Remember, you were new once, too. And I'm sure you didn't know as much as you do now when you first joined. That's why people join forums like this, because they wanna learn.
Sure, they should stick to the rules, but there is no need to become agressive about this.

I think it was enough time since 2008 to read the rules and know where to post and what.
BTW, OP, what ROM you are using? Or just Stock?

True, I was new. But I was able to read and to comprehend written text.
This has nothing to do with being new; users that can't read and understand description of each section, are illiterate. That's not me bringing them down, that's a fact.

*[VOTE-YES] For XDA To Add A [SOLVED-BUTTON]*

* MODS PLEASE CONSIDER *
Double Post Sorry!!!
First off I'm Posting this in Q & A because this where I Waste ALOT my Time Trying to Help people, to just Later Find out that the Problem has Already been Solved! Lol...
I Can't even Count the number of threads I read from day to day from users that need Help of some sort with their phones, and that's No Problem! After all that's one of the many Purposes of XDA...
But anyways, after seeing how Useful the [Thanks Button] turned out I've been thinking why Not Add a [Solved Button] Also? This way people like me Won't try to Help Users that No Longer Need Help!!
I Mean it'll Save Space and Time Both! If this was Posted somewhere else I Apologize, but I Haven't come Across it!
I Really think this may also Help the Mods Close some of the Dead Threads that are No Longer being used!
Please Give Feedback...
Thank You!

I'll second that.

Moved to the appropriate forum.

I believe there is a 'Resolved' feature available to OPs in the Q&A forums. Unfortunately, it doesn't get a lot of use. Perhaps wider awareness is needed.
Also, I'm not 100% sure on this but if, when creating a new thread, you choose 'yes, this thread is a question!' tickbox at the bottom, the option for 'resolved' becomes available in all forums? That may not be correct.
I wouldn't say it was a waste of time to help someone and find they'd already found the answer, but I do agree that it can be annoying at times, especially if you're subscribed to the thread and awaiting their response or other questions.
You have my vote

Well as you know when you signed up the forum rule exists that you must check for existing threads before opening new one. So if you are too lazy to search/read then i understand you didn't find any.

Meh, sorry bro, but I just CBA to check every single thread in the HTC 10 section. I checked 5 or 6 threads, did a Google Search pointing at the HTC 10 section, and could not find anything remotely close to what I was looking for, so I started a new thread for a *specific* issue that would not get drowned out in threads that are *less specific* to my issue.
Do you have anything useful to add/any information related to this thread's topic, or are you just going to continue playing XDA police?

You're a new member so don't take it personally.
There are 2 different shipping/ordering threads which are not hard to miss if you look. A general and a UK thread.
You say you looked but in reality you didn't or you'd not have posted this. Next time just be sure or at best you'll get feedback like this, at worst they'll lock your thread or delete it.
