I am sorry if this is already somewhere else, but I can not find it. I have searched and searched. I have turned s back on, and been stuck there and then had to fully unroot again because I had s on and still using glacier. I know with my G1 to go back to stock I just had to flash the drea.img. What do we do for the mt4g? Thank you for your help. I appreciate it.

I am wanting to try a few things on my G1 before I get the mytouch 3g in a couple of days, but I have a friend that wants to buy it from me, but he isnt that tech savvy so I was going to put it back to the normal Tmobile rom, but I want to know if that is at all possible, since it is already rooted or is it once rooted always rooted? I try to stick to lurking but this is just something I am worried about because when I got my G1 it was already rooted so I know nothing about whats what on it, I knew everything about all the other phones that I had because I had done all the modifying myself. I am just cautious thats all. Thanks this is an excellent forum.
repeat after me: "Search is my friend".
go back to RC29 then wait to see if it updates

Like I said I searched for everything I could think of and didnt find any information about going back to the original rom, about unrooting yes but not about the original rom.

No big deal...but I don't see anything in the OP about searching...but the short answer is yes, you can...just (as the above post states) reapply the RC29 image. I just did this on my wifes G1 to send it back as a warranty exchange.

Look at the stickied post with the label "***Informative Threads***" There is a link in there called "UNROOT, get phone to STOCK firmware"
After you follow the directions in the UNROOT thread and reload the original bootloader and RC29, flash to Cupcake. It will pick up the CRC1 update much faster that way, IIRC. I've uploaded Cupcake to my mediafire account.

No you dont flash back to stock through a .zip update. You have to follow those instructions if you want your phone to be unrooted and back stock. Its not a hard process to do
Will this restore OTA update capabilities. I've read on other threads where once rooted it will still download but not INSTALL the updates, anyone know??
Thanks
Hey XDA.
I'm trying to revert my myTouch 4G back to its original state.
And I'm kinda new to this, so I need help on doing this.
I installed the Desire Z ROM onto it.
I need to get it back to the Original myTouch.
I thought I backed up my .IMG file, but I guess I didn't.
So can anyone help me on doing this?
Thanks!
Please post questions in q&a section. And the stock image is in the rom bible.

There is a "downgrade" guide... that is your best bet... be sure to revert the gfree if you followed the "Ultimate S=off" method

The Unlockr has a stock MySense Nandroid back up along with the a stock recovery image so you can flash the Nandroid backup from a recovery screen, then flash the stock recovery image if you want to go all the way back to stock. along with how to undo g/free and turn s=on.
Please post questions in Q&A section.
I'm trying to unroot my phone so I can send it back in for a replacement but whenever I try to flash the PD15IMG in the bootloader it says the "Main version is older" and the update fails. I used the PD15IMG from the unlockr, but I guess I guess I need an updated one? Anyone know how I can fix this?
EDIT:
I ended up figuring everything out. Here's the thread I made that explains everything.

Tmobile doesnt look to see If your phone is rooted or Not. There only interested in the physical aspect of the device.

you should have reverted back to the stock radio before flashing the stock PD15IMG...you could try flashing the newest updated RUU and then downgrade back to 2.2

alright so i tried flashing the stock radio, but now the bootloader says i have s-on? does this mean i'm not rooted anymore, even though i'm running a custom rom?

I ran into the same problem as youre having when I tried to revert back to stock. flashed the stock PD15IMG in hboot, but was on an updated radio. you still have root access even tho it says s=on, but you can ONLY use the rom you were currently using when trying to go back to stock. (ex- if you were on Virtuous Unity v2.39 then you could only flash and use that rom) theres a thread that goes more into detail, heres the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092170 make sure you read the entire thread carefully
from what I understand, youll have to flash an updated RUU to fix the issue

Thanks for the link man, I should've searched before I posted. I read through the whole thing, and I'm still not sure what to do.. just a thought, but would this basically be like trying to root from the official 2.3.4 OTA?
And if there's an RUU for the GB OTA would that work in HBOOT, since it has the updated radio?
same thing happened to me, i have a glacier. (mytouch 4g) would appreciate any help. I was actually trying to restore to stock, unroot, and now i am s-on rooted
I got my problem resolved. If anyone has the same problem I made a thread about how to fix it.

Found a post that I thought would work so I tired it out. I flashed my devise back to Dl17 and low and behold the firmware was the issue. Now i am recieveing Ota updates and getting back to 2.2. Thanks to Txwolf for posting that tutorial on what to do for a noob like me. Sorry I didn't find it earlier. I will diffidently be staying away from Rom toolbox and this time I am going to flash CWM and do a nandroid back up.

Yeah I know, I am back up though and I don't plan on rooting again it caused too many problems with this phone and I dont want to have to go through it again. I am kind of glad this happened though because now the phone seems to be running faster than it used to.
