How can I unroot my G2. Having problems. - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Salutations everyone, I've seem to run into a problem in where my Wifi completely stopped working and experiencing a few force closes as well but mostly being that I use Wifi a lot I need this fixed. I am currently running Cyanogenmod 7(7.0.3) if that info even matters and I also have my stock rom on my computer if that helps at all. If anyone could reply back with useful information it would be well appreciated.

Perform a Superwipe+ and install the newest version of CM7, preferably a nightly with good marks.

You don't have to go all the way back to unrooting to fix your problems. Like the other poster said, doing something like a superwipe+ and reflash of a new ROM should easily solve your issue.

Well the reason why I quickly wanted to go the route of unrooting is because I dropped my phone pretty hard(phone is intact still.lol) but it seemed right after the drop my Wifi stopped working so I figured the only way to fix this would be by way of replacement. Anywho, excuse my newbyism but how do I superwipe? Through Clockworkmod? And aren't nightlies not the most stable roms? Thanks in advance..

Update, I flashed back to a previous rom(Cyanogenmod 7.0.2) Wifi started working perfectly again then simply download(F'n throtled.lol) 7.0.3 again and flashed all over again and everything works fine. Thanks for the info.

[Q] Just ordered a G2.

T-Mobile is having a web only deal right now with the Samsung Galaxy S 4G and the G2. I just ordered the G2 and I'm wondering which Gingerbread rom you guys are using?
I just need something that has everything working with over clock. Anybody got any suggestions? Is there a difference between Cyanogen and Nightly's rom?
CM 7.0.0 is the latest stable. No more nightlies. I try other roms but keep coming back to CM! Some people complain of gps issues but I don't use it so I can't attest to that...

Oic. Anything changed in it from 7.0.0?

Just a couple of small bug fixes to do with the notification bar not being smooth when you slide it down. And if you had a short cut or gesture mapped to open the notification bar in the stable release it would not open, but it has now been fixed.

I tried all the ROMS in Rom Manager and after just a few days i eventually went back to CM 7.
When you root follow the guide on the wiki here, not visionary.
Also want to mention that my GPS is broke Since i flashed Virtous, still broken in MIUI and CM 7. Im about to try the GPS fix now.

I would do some research myself, but don't have a computer at the moment and it's a bit slow to research on my outdated MotoCliq. Lol
I have been using xboarder56's gingerbread ROMs, and they are pretty close to stock gingerbread, I think. I have never used the CM or any of the other ones.
I also rooted my phone using this really easy method which uses visionary then I uninstalled visionary and haven't had a problem. I think it was the method that didn't require ADB.

No. There's a method here that's SUPER SIMPLE not overly complicated. You use vision for temp root and type like 3 commands and you're good to go! This command stuff is foreign to me and I did it just fine
Sent from my CM7 GDeux
I rooted my G2 2 days ago, I used the Visionary to temp root + gfree way to root, had no problems, worked on 1st try. The first and only mod I have flashed is CM7. Gonna use it for a bit, then probably try some others, probably will always come back to CM. I shouldn't have tried it 1st haha, should have tried it last. Its kind of a hassle having to re-install all your apps, and redo all your settigns and stuff, after flashing each ROM. I want to try the meXdroid ROM though, has some Xpera features, looks nice. I also have the GPS problems- weather apps and maps never being able to lock on my location. There is a fix in this thread, haven't tried it yet. I don't really use GPS, anyway, always keep it off. Have only used Google Nav once, hahaha.
Use gfree, you get sim unlock super Cid the whole shebang. Just follow the wiki its laid out perfectly

I used the visionary temp/g-free method and everything went smooth.
I noticed that a lot of themes and such are mostly created for the Nightly version for CM7. Why is that?

Pleased to here rooting went smoothly.
If your running CM7 the best bet for themes is to use the theme chooser, you can download themes from the market or if you head over to the general android themes forum there are loads available for free. The great thing about using the theme chooser is that your not stuck to running a certain release of a ROM just because of a theme, they will work on the latest nightly's.
But I thought that most of the flashable themes that were available for our handsets were now updated to run with CM7 Stable

[Q] Can't connect to Chase, try again later thanks for your patience.

Hey fellow xda members, just inquiring who uses the Chase Mobile app since updating to the new OTA for htc evo. Are you guys and girls having trouble signing in to your accounts. I have called Chase multiple times and they were no help since they are the developers of the app. The message i get trying to sign in on Chase Mobile is ( Unable to connect to chase, please try again later. Thanks for your patience.) Let me know if any of you are getting this problem with the OTA Update for the evo.
I too have had this problem with all the gingerbread leaks. Worked fine on cm7 though.

I just checked and Chase is working for me

yeah i know the chase app worked on cm7 and evo deck 2.3.4 with no problems but since i went to the rooted stock rom for the htc evo gingerbread. I tried to uninstall and reinstall but nothing. Gives me that message we can't connect to chase right now. I hope chase fixes the app for gingerbread edition of the evo. Thank you jpmaniac87 and detcup4evr for your replies.
This morning, my Quicken connection wasn't working to Chase. I logged onto the website from the PC, and although I could log in, all the account infomation was missing.
I used the card at about 12:30 without any problems, and pulled the Quicken stuff in the afternoon. Seemed to work OK by then.
Either they were having technical problems, or a security breach. I hope it was the former, and not the latter.
Tried this morning and I'm still getting error message that the app cannot connect.
This only started happening after I flashed gingerbread ROM (4.24.651).
Tried some suggested solutions but none worked for me....
1. Reinstall app (still get error)
2. Log into chase site via browser. Go to procedure of device not recognized, request and enter pin. (still get error)
If anyone has any luck with these suggestions or has another solution please advise us.
I installed n used it with no error today.... Im on mikg latest rom.....

I am having the same problem after updating to the official ROM released by Sprint that was supposed to fix problems with the gingerbread update. Guess they figured that the loudest protestors were the ones using Netflix so they took care of that but broke a lot of other apps. For me chase in addition to MOG and epocrates is not working. I think this has to do something with secure connections of authentication or something. It is annoying as hell. But, maybe you are suffering a similar issue. I have searched everywhere and am still trying to find a solution. Because I didn't give a **** about watching netflix on a small screen but their fix has for Netflix has made my device almost useless for me.
Working for me on since I updated to Synergy RC1
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Is a conflict I believe with the update and the chase app. And Chase has been screwing around for 2 weeks and not fixing it! You would think with all the complaining on there app, they would do something about it!
it works again for me
It finally started working again.
No need to update or reinstall.

Try jelly time 10.1, and set your DPI to 160. I am having no issues at all. Using it as a daily driver for weeks now.

See if the latest JellyTime or codefireX has the same problems. It should be fixed in the latest version of each (and I'm sure it's fixed in cfX since I use it).
What version of JellyTime were you using when you had the issues ?

This. Almost all of the R series JT releases have been extremely stable. R15.1 was amazing. R16 was smoother, but it had a few more bugs added. I believe R17.1 may have fixed it, but I haven't used the ROM yet.
Also, have you checked md5 sums? I have never had an issue with a ROM itself having more bugs and issues than stated (Except for battery life on JB roms). If I do, I'll just rewipe and flash.

I've tried the latest that at the moment was R16 and I had many problems.
Yesterday, as suggested, I installed R10.1 and so far I don't have problems.
I though that there's still a problem on the hotspot, but the issue is only on my IPod Touch...if I use the laptop as a user of the hotspot everything is fine.
Thanks Chrism.Bunner!

[Q] Got angry and messed up phone, desperate need of help please

Phone: Rooted Samsung Galaxy s3
Rom: Cyanogenmod 10.1.2
Using Twrp not CWM
It all started with the freezing problem during gaming only, all games I would play would freeze after 2-20 mins of play time, but it would only freeze for 2-5 mins then start working again, but then it would freeze again soon after. It got worse and worse after a few days went by, started freezing more often. I've tried researching and tried everything suggested. Tried Lagfix trim app, Dummy File Generator app, flashing to a older version rom that I did not have problems with before, nothing worked. I pretty much got pissed off and went into TWRP recovery mode and wiped everything and forgot to have a backup. Now I don't have anything and the phone is not rooted anymore so the phone says. I am pretty much a noob at this stuff. I have no clue what to do now since I have no rom to flash and when I try to restart the phone is says I have no OS system..What do I do?!? Please HELP!
From what ive read in the past u need to flash a stock rooted rom. U can find that here.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910947. Just download put on ur sdcard and flash.

When you play games next time make sure all the setting for saving battery life is turned off, it helps the phone perform better. Youtube qbking77 for a good video tutorial about getting back up and running and other things.

I've got all the other problems sorted in out now. Phone is actually working, but the freezing still persist. I don't have any power saving apps on and I'm going to try dummy file generator again.. I've also downloaded the app brickbug, but it said my phone is not affected. I pretty much don't know what's wrong, the for the suggestions everyone. Anyone have a clue on why I'm freezing when only playing games?
Did ur game update recently when all this started? I know there was a very good app that use and it updated once and just started force closing everytime it opened. Maybe uninstall any updates u have for that game. If its all games its probabaly kernal or rom related inwhich u will have to talk to a bigger brain than I lol

Try disabling Hardware Overlays by checking the box in Developer Options about 3/4ths of the way down in the list and see if that prevents the intermittent freezing.

Yeah, no updates.. It's for all games. I'm still running cm10.1.2 with ktoon kernel.. It seems to have gotten better but still freezes. I've tried everything that I have researched besides a different rom and kernel. I want to stay on this rom and kernel though, besides the freezing in games, the phone runs incredibly smooth and fast.

Not trying to sound anal...
butt if you go to the thread where you downloaded the ROM the developer is sure to see it and others with the same ROM can easily test these things or help out quicker than posting this outside of that thread. sounds like a logcat may determine the issues location for fixing but if it is rom related you need to take it to the dev for a certain fix if one is available.
Just2Cents but Hope it helps

Yeah I had already the same thought..but you need to have 10 posts to be allowed to post in developer's thread..
I hoped arco or somebody else who has more knowledge than me would read it and offer me some support.
Or am I wrong?

have you tried other roms, it seems like there is a bug with your present rom, as one of the other poster said, try to inform the dev.
Seems that there are several others who complain about the app Springfield on Google play.
Nevertheless I've got still problems with other apps, that crash by opening them :-\
