[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.

Hello Mod,
Off topic question: I'm on the fence between the xoom and the g-slate. My issue is the dreaded possibility of a locked bootloader. I'm wondering why XDA has a forum already set up for the xoom, but apparently not for the gslate.
Any clue?
BTW: I posted a similar question in another section (its now in "About xda...") but got no responses. I hope devs will be working on g-slate as much as xoom (or more )

koush got a XOOM and rooted it and also said something about custom ROMS being on hold until the sd card is enabled.
He even has a working recovery , and I quote
Code:
As I mentioned, I have a working recovery, but will not be releasing it until Google or I get the SD card working.

It's about time for a Q&A section I would say.

Hello

Hi - Can you do some work and move threads to the proper forums?

I will also try and give theimpaler747 a hand
Since i noticed my original post for keeping Dev sections clean.
I have trashed numerous threads already.
On going offenders will get a short/long time away from XDA

I have, but not through a MAC

If you can't do it through USB, have you tried bluetooth or through online storage? Using USB, I moved music over into the already available music folder; however I am using Win XP.

Would you delete Topic/Thread 986342, the flames are so out of control that many thousands of acres have been burned to ashes. It isn't salvagable, so just moving it won't accomplish anything.
Thanks Mod, you are doing a great job considering all the noobness and ignorance you are battling.

Touch sensitivity problem is still on stock JB? Any solution?

I have converted from yakjujp to yakju and received the 4.1.1 OTA update. Now, I'm on 4.1.1 rooted yakju.
The same problem many -including myself on both yakjujp and yakju- experienced with touch sensitivity on 4.0.4 where the screen stops being responsive and regained after pressing the home button and releasing after a few seconds. Is there any solution or workaround? Thanks in advance!

Perhaps you should read the other threads we posted on this issue, we have tons of talk about it. Still no solution.

Hold on let me create another thread with the solution on this subject. After all, xda is just a giant dumping ground for mindless f***s who can't search.

i havent had that problem since 4.0.4.

I still wonder why someone who does not like a topic or a question but still leaves a comment? It's easy, you don't like it just ignore it and don't waste your precious time on reading such mindless topics, except some life impotence must have its effect on people on every possible aspect of life. So I feel sorry for you!

No its not that. When an issue has already been discussed in depth with all the good answers and relevant info, you're never gonna get all those good answers in a new thread. People just won't post their answers again so you miss all the good stuff by starting a new thread. Its for your own benefit to get the most answers possible. People aren't gonna post their details again, so you're missing out. Use the existing thread and you get the complete picture on your desired topic.

In before the lock!

There is your way of explaining it, and there is another one that's offensive and for no reason. Thanks anyway!

New to rooting. Please help.

Hello, I am new to the forums and would really appreciate if someone were to help me root my HTC EVO 4G.
I am running Android 2.3.5. If someone has a root for version 2.3.5, I would really like it if you included a link and instructions.
Thanks!

Seriously bro? Have you even looked into any info on this? Maybe a little Google action? There's a few posts in the sticky section about it but I won't include links, if you can't help yourself why would I want to.

I was just asking for help. I did do some Googling and found nothing for 2.3.5 and other things telling me to stuff that could possibly brick my phone if I messed up. I don't want to risk that. I could understand you not wanting to help me, but I would be nice if you linked me to a thread or something that could help me. Thanks anyway.

Well when tinkering with your phone, things can go wrong and you can end up bricked. Read, read, read, be sure you follow instructions to the dot, and most likely, I repeat MOST LIKELY you will be ok.
But it has to be your decision. Be sure you understand basic concepts, starting with ADB and so on.
If you have an specific question or doubt about a procedure, ask the question on the thread of such process, I don't think opening threads like this one will help much, the thread is the appropriate place to place a question, and it is the place were you most likely will get an answer, without being flamed.
Good luck

I haven't ranted in a while but this time it's due..
I really don't get you.. You start threads all over so there is no excuse for you not knowing that Questions go in Q&A. You must know the rules (at least somewhat) because you harped on Garwynn and I for going off topic.
It's people like you that tick me off. And I hope you don't come back with a reply like "I'm just a kid" since we have 13 year olds here who are developers.
You have started threads and people tell you to use the search function and you would have found your answer. Hell, you don't even look outside of the E4GT Section.. Just like your question on deodexing.
You've asked for help, I tried to advise on other issues and you completely ignore what I or any other very helpful replies you've had.
So to answer your question, here's the last spoon I give you. Congratulations, you've made the second person I've used the ignore button on.
Figure it out from here..

i searched the topic and cant find it. btw i meant to post in the Q&A. sorry about that. also im sorry about not listening to your advice on the GC01 thread. there was just no other way to explain it. and i would like a mod to please move this thread to Q&A.

Thread moved

Yes it can be done. It will require some foot work and very heavy reading on your end.
All the info you need to do it can be found (directly or indirectly) in this thread.
