Just wondering why anyone would unroot unless they have to repair it using warranty?
I can think of 1000 reasons to root, but only 1 to unroot.
well i might have to unroot cuz i am receiving this rooted and unlocked mytouch 3g
i want to start fresh with it
imo it'll make a lot of things easier with roms and stuff
go to www.theunlockr.com they got vids and guids for it

Hmmm, should be a lot easier for you to get started with roms and stuff now that it is rooted.
But it sounds like you want to go through the steps by yourself to understand how things work?
Anyway, there is many different ways to root a magic all depends on HBOOT.
You should be happy you don't have to go through this, some mobiles still not root-able.
ya though it will make everything easier i just feel i need to do it by myself in order to understand it more
thanks ronni.rasmussen

IF YOUR PHONE IS ROOTED, DONT DO it UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING!!!! IF it is rooted thats easier for custom rom, unrooted means only provider Roms!
well if you wanna UNROOT your phone, try using the stock RUU, that should do the trick, unless your having a rogers, then PLEASE LEAVE IT ALONE!!
Because the new update is a perfect one, that means you cant root it that easy!!

Ok. I know that this has been asked many times... so do not flame for this...
Just got a T-Mobile MyTouch 3G. I have the Perfect SPL (form what i understand form the other threads) 1.33.0006 (SAPP30000) with the 2.22.19.26I Radio.
Which is the best way for me to root my phone?
-i do want to keep the stock Donut ROM.
-i do not want to lose any user data... just want to get root access - think of it as Quickpwn or Redsn0w is for iPhone
What would be a way for me to update my phone after that if T-Mobile releases a new update?
Also...
If i do flash my phone with a different ROM, how do i return to the stock T-Mobile one?
I have spent a good day going through the Sapphire forum so please don't be rude and tell me to 'Search'
Thanks

if thats all you want then the quickest way to keep what you already have is not rooting your phone

flashing a rom with that specific ota update/or/unrooting your phone to receive ota updates/or/again not rooting your phone

you can flash the newest ota release (same as you would a rom) or you could just not root your phone
Just to highlight all your questions could be anwsered with not rooting your phone... and in a serious way. If I were you I would really rethink why you want root in the first place
There are quite a few rooting tools available among the forum threads.
Do a little bit of research; and you'll certainly end up finding some success in regards to your topic.
Hey Guys,
My wife has had the official Sprint 2.1 on her phone for a month or so and has had nothing, but problems. I am sure she would love to go back to stock 1.5 and I know she really doesn't want me to root her phone, but I am just wondering what options I have to get her something more stable. Her phone really has worked horrible since the update, I have been on various 2.1 roms for months and have not had near the problems she has had. Thanks for any ideas.

i say go ahead and root it. i was so scared when i rooted mine but it was all pretty easy. and its almost impossible to brick your phone. and then flash this rom
its the stock 2.1 rom just rooted and literally no issues and a major speed increase. my 2cents
It is not an issue of me rooting her phone. My phone is rooted and has been forever. I flash roms all the time. She does not want her phone rooted, but if that is the only option I might be able to convince her. However I am not convinced anything stock even with root would be a good option.

That is your only option. The way HTC designed this phone you cannot downgrade back to 1.5 unless HTC put out a new RUU to do so(which isn't going to happen).
If she wants 1.5 then you have to root to do so.
My wife didnt want me to root her samsung moment. I did it anyways, and she couldnt be happier. Have it overclocked as well.
Just dont tell the wife...they'll never know. Woman don't like technology change. You have to override that.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
I was going to say the same thing. Just root it and flash a ROM and say here you go. She can always run the 2.1 RUU again.
See, your problem is, you need your Wife to be rooted so you can have SU access.
Once you do that, then you can root her phone.....
Well I can tell she is frustrated, when she just looked at me and said "I don't care just get it fixed." Now I just need to read up on how to root a stock 2.1 since I did mine back at 1.5.

i think they make an app where you can just click on it and its rooted. i'll find it real quick
here is the link to that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695698
or follow the GUIDE in the development section. It takes 8 min to root the stock 2.1 RUU. Hopefully she's on the .5 build tho. Very simple
For those who do NOT like to delve into the Dev area often and may have not seen this

go ahead and be daring...I myself like to wait until atleast a Beta.
Good stuff, thanks. I've been longing to root this phone, but I refuse to do it without a factory .zip which I can flash to restore defaults. Too many people have various issues after rooting, just don't want to take that chance. Can't wait to see what CM puts out though.
what issues? You make a nandroid to go back to

Make a nandroid backup.
So to clarify, if I do the following ...
1) factory reset
2) unlock bootloader
3) root phone
4) make nandroid backup
I can then restore the nandroid backup at any time and phone will be completely stock, recovery, bootloader and all exactly as it is now with no sign of modding whatsoever?
I haven't had a lot of time to read into this so not sure as yet what's involved in the above steps but in a nutshell am I on the right lines? Theres a lot of confusing (and conflicting) info out there!
Thanks.

While I understand what you're saying, it seems like some people are having issues even after injecting root. I can live without Titanium or drocap2 for a few days longer while Google drops the official restore...although I do want tethering asap.

?? You can already tether on stock. Also, I haven't heard of anyone having problems just from rooting the phone, in fact, all you're really doing is unlocking the bootloader and installing an apps to give you su permissions. Like the others said, you can always nandroid back to stock and relock the bootloader if you want to.
The major things wrong with the CM7 alpha on the NS are the Camera and Wifi and other things you would consider major
Cam and wifi work on alpha2.

Once it hits beta ill grab it up but until then im way happy with what i got now
guys come on. This is a dev phone. This is what Nexus is about. Why not flash? Cyanogen is the most consistant and top quality Roms. I love the stock just as much as the next guy, but I didn't buy this phone to be boring. Just flashed CM7 and all is good. updates should make it even better!! Let the fun begin!!

I'm all for that sure but not until I have a simple and sure fire way of returning absolutely everything to stock, out of the box condition.
Im personally waiting for Amon_RA to release his NS recovery
and ya, the whole not having a sure fire way to go back to stock is a downer.
Google needs to release the stock ROM in its entirety
I'm sure they'll do that soon... or at least I hope they will. Only then will the fun begin for me!
Just wondering, why do you guys need a surefire way to return to stock? Just reflash stock rom and relock bootloader.

Is it really that simple though? My understanding is that the only available 'stock' rom is not in fact stock, rather its an adapted rom as Google have yet to release the actual one?
I want to be able to return to normal in case I want to return the phone.

you cant reflash the stock recovery over CWM either....so when they release the stock ROM officially all you would have to do is re lock the bootloader and flash the rom and it will overwrite EVERYTHING
i was a hardcore CM user on my N1 , flashed nightlies every day but i just dont see anything in CM for the NS that would make me jump right into an alpha

hey my play comes in the 3erd and i will like to know is there any working ICS roms for it and how to go about doing every thing i need to. i use to have the lg ally running velocity v1.2 but by the looks of it with my new play i have flashing roms and recover look way harder then the ally was so i need some info guys and a guide and what roms are save to flash and what recovery do i need to have also and thanks for you help also!!!
I havent seen any ICS roms for the r800x but recovering/flashing roms is made very very easy with this from the android market "Xperia CWM Auto-Instaler"
You don't even need to unlock the bootloader, just needs to be rooted and then go about setting up the Xperia CWM Auto-Instaler and just make a nandroid backup. I would reccommend using Cola's rom or IT-ROM (which is based off of Cola's rom) for the r800x, they both have worked perfectly for me and I'm currently running IT-ROM which definitely makes the r800x run much smoother/faster.
Wifi, 3g, sms, ect all worked without any issues, and if you're somone who is worried about being able to overclock, I know someone is working on that with Cola's rom, but I dont think it's finished yet. But, those roms take care of basically any speed issues one may have with their r800x, it definitely did the trick for me.
Good luck

Read more prior to posting... There's a lot of info in here (no ICS), and unless you take the time to sift through it all and understand it, you will mess up your phone.

How are planning on installing the ROM without recovery? Seriously, read everything again so you don't brick your phone.
And make sure you're installing a ROM for locked bootloaders.... If you try to install that CM7 ROM it'll likely never boot again.

ok i looked up some info and i can not unlock my bootloader on the R800x i am so happy i did not try and flash the CM7 lol
you can unlock your boot loader it just cost $$ , someone with setool , a paper clip and not minding voiding your warrantee. I would not suggest it until you've gotten a bit experience under your belt but when you get there its worth having done in my opinion , many people vary on this subject and they're right also.
There is limited real benefit to unlocking the R800x, since the devs have been focusing on the locked ROMs... Not much out there, unless you're planning to develop it yourself.

Indeed, fully functional cm7 is hardly worth unlocking your bootloader for

Hi all,
I just came from an HTC EVO 4G LTE and I sort of want to root right away. But, I've noticed there isn't an "all-in-one" root/unlock bootloader/flash recovery yet. Should I wait? The reason I ask is because I was reading some of the other threads and some people were saying they regret rooting and want to unroot and someone even mentioned something about accepting an update with the booatloader locked is a bad thing, possibly. Needless to say, I'm a bit confused. I guess I want to root so I can install TiBu and get tether to work.
Thanks...
The bootlocker is not locked on this phone. I'd use qbking's method to root the phone if you're desparate for root right away. Otherwise, I'd just suggest waiting. I'm guessing in weeks to come there will be custom roms and probably a universal method for rooting, possibly even a toolbox. Because the phone isn't even a week old, everything is still getting sorted out.

I gave my 4G LTE to my roommate... I loved it like the OG but the HTC EVO 3D (not so much)... Just got tired of HTC's slowness to update and problems with contact lags, etc. So far, I'm loving the S4
I think I'm going to resist rooting for another week. Let's see if I can.. Knowing myself, if i have nothing to do this weekend i will probably root it
Thanks you for all of your inputs...
wow, that was the easiest root I have ever done I think. There is no reason to wait, TWRP is here and that was so painless as well.
It's just as easy to unroot too. just flash the stock firmware and recovery via odin.
