Hello, I'm, having issues obtaining a consistent GPS lock on my SGSIIX, so I'd like to return it to Telus but first I need to unRoot it. Could someone post s rundown of the exact steps need to unRoot this device? I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere, I've searched the forum and come up with nothing. Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks.

So that will set it back to stock and remove any trace of Root?

Yeah, should remove any trace of root. To be sure, uninstall Superuser if it's still there after flashing.

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.

Hi Guys,
I have to return my phone to sprint in exchange for a new one. Can someone point me in the right direction to get it back to stock? I have a rooted Evo with Damage 3.2
Any help would be appreciative. I've read a couple of threads on restoring, but it's really confusing. Any volunteers?

1) Install HTC sync
2) Run the RUU.exe (find link on forum or shipped roms)
Wrong section. But might as well answer. Just accept the over the air update from htc and your back to stock. Or use the search bar ,its quite a useful tool.

Hi everyone I have been working at this forever now and I am not sure what to do. I will first say that I am very new at this. I have an incredible which I got root access to by watching and repeating the steps on the you tube video. Without thinking I then manually updated to the 2.2 froyo manually. I have lost my tethering among other things and I was wanting to downgrade so that I can start over from scratch so I don't mess anything up. The only problem is that I can seem when following the you tube videos to get the the green recovery screen. Is that the clockwork recovery boot program because I never installed anything like that. I look forward to all of your help and support. Thanks Pat
Follow section 6 of this guide:

Not sure if you turned S-OFF, or not, but it's a good idea to leave S-OFF unless you're returning it to the store, so just omit the part about turning it on.
Any questions, let me know.
Hey I tried that but it will not work.
you've gotta be a little more specific..what specifically doesn't work? What step is causing you trouble..etc...........................................

I talked to dadicus, and he said he marked it out because he hadn't tried it yet, and wanted to incorporate S-ON into it as well. He'll unmark it out once he's tried it and verified it works. I've followed it word for word (excluding the S-ON) part at least 5 or 6 times, and it's worked.

You really need to provide more information in order for someone to help you. The most pertinent information will be found in your bootloader. Please report back your HBOOT version, Security status, and baseband (radio) versions.

Hey Thanks,

I see that you are fairly new to posting in an xda forum and I dont want someone to slap you and call you a noob, not that Im doing that right now. But what you really need to do is use the search function of the forums. I had to unroot my cousins phone and I used the search function to find the info, you can even use google to find it. Unrooting is really easy to do, esp if you rooted your phone in the first place. It's just about the same processes.
Thanks,
Actually right after this post, I found it.
I'm already finished
Hi guys need a bit of help ive rooted a few devices in the past but not for a while now, ive searched high and low to try and see if there is what i need out there but have found nothing so easiest option ask the community who knows.
My pixel xl is on EE so bootloader is locked 1st step unlock bootloader but now the bit i really need help looking for, i was looking for a way i can root and unroot at the click of a button due to the fact my mobile banking apps will not run on a rooted device and i just wanted something i can click unroot do my bits and click reroot.
Ive seen these kingo root apps and one click root apps but without being rooted to begin with i cant check if these will root and unroot at the click of a button.
Can anyone help either some advice or point me to a post i have yet to find.

Suhide will hide your root so you don't have to toggle IT. Have fun!
