I want to return to stock completely (unroot, lock bootloader, and flash stock image to return to stock updates from google)
How can I do that please?
Thanks

So can someone tell me how to unroot and return to stock firmware? Ive run into problems with my phone and want to return it to stock and start fresh with a new root and such..
or does someone else have any recommendations?
Download stock firmware from thread in general and flash with Odin. Just don't try to flash older firmwares than what your device's firmware is
Have you used the xda search tool? There are detailed step by step guides you can use.
Hi ! I just unlocked bootloader of my phone (Micromax Canvas A1 with Android One) yesterday, flashed a Custom CWM Recovery and Rooted it. But now, I want to get back my warranty by unrooting it. I think the following steps will work in getting back my warranty:
1) Unroot Android
2) Flash stock recovery
3) Relock bootloader
I can unroot and relock the bootloader on myself. But I don't have stock recovery image for my phone. Can anyone here provide me the Stock Recovery image file for this phone?
Moreover, I have one more Canvas A1 handset which is completely in factory mood (and so under warranty unlike my rooted Android one phone ). Is there any way to create a flashable rocovery image file from this phone?
Anyways, I will be very happy and thankful if only anyone could provide me the Stock Recovery Image file for this phone .
Thanks in advance !
Here's the stock recovery link which I had uploaded: http://www.mediafire.com/?cr10jbo9f6gnh32 (rename it to recovery.img)
You'll need to flash it from ADB mode (you need unlocked boot loader in this case) or just flash using SP Tools (v.5.1424) (if you need scatterer file, ask me)
Actually, flashing stock recovery and locking boot loader does not give warranty back.
However you'll need stock recovery to flash lollipop update when arrived.
To get warranty back, you need to download complete stock ROM and flash it using SP Tools in firmware upgrade mode to reset the flash counter.
I have unlocked my bootloader, installed a TWRP, and flashed a custom ROM. Everything is working fine, but I just want to know how to return to stock if I wanted to. Is it just as simple as flashing the latest OTA? Do I have to re-lock my bootloader?
Thanks!
You can easily return firmware and/or recovery to stock by flashing, but currently there is no way to relock the bootloader.

I'm sort of a noob when it comes to this stuff. I usually just follow guides to get what I'm looking for.
So would I just download the latest OTA and flash that? Can someone share some simple instructions on how this is done?
Thanks!
When you want to flash back to stock from custom, are the steps the following?
1)Download stock rom from asus
2)Format phone
3)Flash stock ROM from custom recovery?
The reason I ask is because there is a guide that says you need to edit the stock rom when flashing from custom rom/recovery.. Link to his guide here: GUIDE FOR FULL ROM
Hey I'm no noob but this is my first time dealing with one plus usually on my other devices I just flashed the stock image through Odin or used a tool with flashall.bat through fast boot. So I heard someone say that they unrooted, locked there bootloader, flashed there stock recovery and then did the update. Is all of that necessary? If not what are the steps I take? Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks
Follow these instructions from OP's website:

Phone is rooted woth twrp, unlocked bootloader and a custom pixel rom. I need to unroot the phone and lock bootloader if possible.
Anyone?
I think if you flash the stock OS from OnePlus' website and reboot it will install their stock recovery as part of the process and turn you back to stock so you can re-lock the bootloader safely.
