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!!

If you are already rooted, first I recommend install Koush's bootstrap recovery. This allows you to backup/restore your phone. A warning with this if you are new: Don't bounce back and forth between ROM's that are made for different android versions. For example, if you are on 2.2, don't try to apply a ROM for 2.1 as it will brick your phone due to a difference in the bootloader.
After you have installed Koush's bootstrap recovery, IMMEDIATELY make a backup. Then archive this off to your computer for safe keeping. This will be your saving grace if your phone gets messed up a little, and you want to go back to how it was as of right now.
Once you have that installed, you can install ROM manager, as this usually has the most recent releases (for the general public). I recommend that you do some searching on the forums here under Droid X themes and Droid X development and take a look at the threads for the different ROMs/Themes so you can get a feel for what they look like. Often reading through the posts also will help you get a feel, as people will usually provide their feedback.
A note if you are not familiar with flashing Themes/ROMs. This can be dangerous if you don't follow the instructions for each specific theme or ROM.
Sorry if this reply has seemed daunting by any means. I just have run into a few bumps myself as when I started messing around, I didn't know what I needed backups of...
Hope this helps! PM me if you need specific questions answered! Otherwise I'll try to check back

As for the different lock screens... I would look into Widgetlocker. It allows you to create shortcuts on your lock screen and use it a little more than the default lock screen from android.

How do you install updates to roms? I want to install gummyjar 1.9 but then there is also an 1.9.1 update. I know how to flash the rom but am not sure about the update. Is it just the same through clockwork, install from sd?

Usually you want to refer to the original post for the ROM and download the update from there. They will usually have steps to install the update.

Full Control Over Android
You have access to alter any system files, use themes, change boot images, delete annoying stock apps, that might drive you crazy. I don't think there is a sticky on just what to do with root. A good place to start is here

It has things to do with root.
Hope this gives you some help

Here's the answer to your question, research. Sorry bro, not trying difficult but that's the honest answer. Read, read some more and then read again. Your gonna have to put some skin on the table if you want the reward my friend. Have fun!
