Well, I getting a replacement DInc2 because of some hardware issue, and I was wondering that if they care if I am just S-OFF'd. I'm not running on any ROM's at all, completely stock rooted.
Would they charge me retail price for my phone if they see I was S-OFF'd?
Is there any kind of guide I can follow to get back S-ON?
Sorry, I'm not new at all to rooting, or replacements. It's just HTC phones I'm new to.
I sent back an s-off phone recently and they didn't do anything. Probably cause they never saw it. I'm not sure they would care if they did. If you used alpha rev then you can s on. Go to rootzwiki. Jcase posted instructions. Follow them to a T. If you used xtc clip then there is no way to s on.

Delete super user. I've never sent one back. But you want all proof of root taken off. So at a glance they will see it is stock.

Ohhh. And how would I do that? Titanium Backup?
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
Here is a little info. Before you do an s-on. Do a recovery to an original ROM that can have SU removed. If you don't have one I am sure someone has one.
Make sure when you send your phone back in to remove your SD card. The majority of root information is stored on the card.
If there is a RUU available for 2.3 then just flash it via bootloader after you s-on.

Yes that is a simpler option.

I cant imagine that they hire people to play around with each phone that gets sent back.
They probably inspect the phone for physical damage, see if it turns on, and plug it into a machine to wipe while they replace the casing, and call the phone a refurb.

I concur they don't care. Long as you don't send it back with cm7 or something running you will be fine

Asked a guy that works for the phone replacement facility. Said as long as they can flash their stock software on it they don't care to look. It's when the computer can't flash and the phone has errors is when they have to dig into it and look for s-off
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
Even if you make a nandroid of the stock rom, you still need a custom recovery to restore it. Meaning unless you flash the ruu, your phone wont be stock

Yeah, that's what I would do. Plus if it doesn't fix it, it's ready to send in. Just make sure you use unrevoked's s-on tool first (before the RUU) so you can send it back.
Yes I have that downloaded thank u for the advice

I know on the fascinate there was a need to Odin a package using the atlas and a repartitions check in order to revert to a touchwiz rom. Is there a need to do any such thing through recovery or adb in order to go from MIUI/CM7 to a sense rom on the inc 2? Just want to be safe if I decide to revert to gingersense. Thanks.

+1... I would like to know this as well. From what I've read there's no way to re-achieve s-on so I'm not sure anything can be done to get back to complete stock. I think you can just try to mask it with a sense rom that hasn't deviated too far from stock.

OMG that guide worked fantastically. Also, droidfiles.us had a guide that was almost identical so if anyone is having issues you can also use that one. Thank you so much for the info on where to get files and where to look for the guides. wish i could +1 you or something but I'm a noob lol

One note, the guide on droidfiles.us, the step regarding the bootloader has the bootloader name missing a zero.
Alright so here we go. I know I'm going to end up getting flamed for this, but whatever. If you could be so kind as to read this entire post and bare with me as I explain my situation, I'd truly appreciate it.
So I got the DInc2 as a replacement for the Droid X2 a couple months ago. I immediately took S-Off and rooted on the first day. I used the "Downgrade with H-Boot .98" to downgrade and all was smooth.
After some time and a lot of flashing, my phone became cluttered and started having weird issues. So a few days ago I decided to return to stock 2.3.4 with software version 6.01.XXX. I did that and have had nothing but trouble trying to reroot and get things back to what they were.
My confusion is that I still have S-Off after using PG32IMG to get back to 2.3.4 and I updated the software version to the latest (6.01.605.05 710RD) and I'm not too clear on how to reroot.
Since I already have S-Off, do I just have to flash a recovery and SU Binary? Or do I need to to downgrade or something else?
Thanks to all who respond. I'm sorry this is so noobish. :silly:
Since you are S off you are correct in just needing to flash a recovery and su zip.

That is all? No need to downgrade? Which Su would you recommend?

Basically was doing a restore after a full wipe. I noticed the restore went allot faster then normal. I figured it was because the new twrp update speeded it up some how. I didn't get a failed message. Umm, no. It was a bad backup. I went to hit restore again and instead did a reboot. The phone was stuck on the Samsung white screen. With wish and truth helping, we got the phone into download mode and using Odin flashed the cwm recovery tar file. Then got the the phone into recovery and flashed a ROM I had on my card.
Moral of the story. If it doesn't seem right dont follow through with it and always keep a working ROM zip on your card. It was totally my fault.
Just noticed, that restore was only 506mb. I ran out of space.

FYI. In the new version you have to choose what you want backed up. Make real sure you check the boxes in the name screen.
Full wipe + no check marks = a real bad day
