Hello all,
I have rooted my phone, aswell as turning S-OFF.
I have a volume rocker problem and want to return the phone under warranty, can you tell me how I would restore S-ON?
I believe by flashing a stock RUU

Thanks for that, downloading one now!
I need to send my Mytouch 4g in for repair due to an issue with "limited service" problems. Both T-Mobile and HTC said it is a rare problem and it needs to come in for repair.
My problem is that my phone is/has been rooted. I need to COMPLETELY UNROOT it before sending it in, or they will not repair/replace.
What can I do to completely unroot so they will not know that it was ever rooted?
I have run the unlockr method with the PD15IMG but Im not sure that is it. What else can do to see that it was rooted? Is there anything other than info in the bootloader? I turned the S-On again.
PS - the issue with my phone is when i put in my SIM card (under any rom, including stock) it comes back with a message saying "limited service" and i cannot do anything to fix it. If you have an answer for this too, that would be helpful.
Either way I dont want to lost this phone due to root/warranty problems.
Thanks ahead of time....
How did you root it? Did you use gfree and simunlock? Did you flash engineering hboot? Did you S-OFF? Did you flash custom images?
There are a lot of questions to answer in what to undo.
If you SIM/Super CID unlocked and radio S-OFF with gfree then you need to follow the instructions in the gfree thread on how to restore your part7 backup.
If you flashed the engineering hboot, again, follow info in the gfree thread on how to flash it back to stock.
Once you are back to normal hboot and S-ON, just loading the PD15IMG for the complete OTA (find the thread in the dev section) will factory wipe and clear the rest for you.
Thanks for the quick reply. I followed the unlockr method completely to gain root.
theunlockr.com/2010/12/10/how-to-gain-permanent-root-and-s-off-on-the-t-mobile-mytouch-4g-htc-glacier/
Then I installed Iced Glacier.
I also did their unroot method which includes flashing the PD15IMG and turning the S-On. Normally, should I receive an OTA after flashing this? Or is this THE updated image?
If is should expect an OTA, I will not get it. The reason i need to send the phone in is because i do not get service with the SIM card in. It reads "Limited service" "Emergency Calls Only". In this case, i would not recieve an OTA. Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks again.

Scroll down to "follow these steps to restore stock hboot (0.86.0000) and flash that back on if you have not already.
If you flashed the PD15IMG from this thread then it already has the OTA updated applied and you should be g2g.
Thank you very much. That is a huge help.
After updating the HBoot and flashing the PD15IMG we should be back to stock.
Is there any way after that HTC will see it as previously rooted?
I thought to myself that the hackers were smarter than the developers.... Im glad I was right.
Thanks again.

With S-ON, a stock hboot, and a fresh flash of the OTA image -- no, not to my knowledge.
Ok so I am expecting to receive a replacement for the BAD SCREEN (inferior) issue. So preparing to get my phone to STOCK condition.

Now I kind of know where I need to be at but I am not sure of the sequence of the steps. Also, how do I get back to stock recovery from Clockwork?
Is there a good check list of things to make sure before sending back the old phone?
thanks a lot.
for unroot
download stock rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901477
rename it PD15IMG.zip and put it in the root of your sdcard not in a folder
go into hboot by powering off then hold VOL DOWN+POWER
then it will automatically check to find PD15IMG.zip when it ask for update click yes
wait for it to install done stock unroot
Thanks for your reponse. I was aware of that method and was planning on using it. Does that also take care of clockwork recovery and updated radio?
Alright guys so the bottom 1/5 of my screen stopped responding so I want to return my phone to tmobile and have it replaced.
But ive run into an issue. Sometimes when I go into bootloader it clamis i have s-off other times it tells me its s-on. and when i try to flash older radio so i can revert to stock rom it just says "checking" the image and then throws me back into the bootloader. any ideas on how i can restore to stock? Thanks in advance.

Gonna need more info to troubleshoot. Lets start with how did you root the phone to start and how you unrooted. Are you doing anything different when it shows s-off than when it says s-on?
well i rooted with temp visionary and then gfree. now the trouble is i cant get it back to stock radio. that way i can flash original rom and unroot. I try to flash a new radio and it goes from s-on to s-off and when i batterypull and turn it back on its perfectly fine as s-on

I think you have some terminology mixed up. Are you saying that you flashed an updated radio and then PD15IMG.zip update from hboot? Are you trying to flash the stock rom or are you trying to unroot?

Did you root using the gfree method...?
-Team Inferno
"Quality, not speed"
If you rooted with gfree (and you are), look at the unrooting instructions in gfree thread ("Ultimate S-OFF" in Development section).
yea i used gfree ill look it up and see if it works ty
yea that was the same one i tried before it didnt work
Did you load the original 2.2.1 firmware on the phone, temp-rooted it, and executed gfree with the right flag to make it turn the S-ON back?
I guess you didn't, otherwise it would work.
Please do now.

How would you execute gfree with the right flag that would make it turn on?
Please read the thread I mentioned in the first of my posts above.
I have followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25372466&highlight=s-off+still#post25372466 to the roots of it and i still cant get s-on! Any one willing to help?! after i do the last step it still says s-off but this time with 85.000 hboot! do i have to flash the PD15IMG so i can have s-on after that last step?!
OKAY! i did the type ./gfee --secu_flag on" now if i redo the PD15IMG will i have s-on?!!?!?!
Did you restore the part7backup?

Part7backup doesn't matter much. If gfree was run and pd15img will be flashed after it, S-ON will be restored.

So what's his problem then? I'm not being sarcastic. If he got S-OFF with gfree and used gfree to turn the security flag back on, then...?
With Eng HBOOT the security flag isn't being checked - so he sees S-OFF even though the flag itself might be ON. PD15IMG with stock bootloader will revert his HBOOT to stock, which will reflect the actual flag status.
You guys were great help but I tried everything on what you guys showed me. But nothing seemed to work.. I sent the phone back unrooted but the flag still said s-off even without the eng boatloader... They sent me a replacement mt4g and it had the same issue with the screen being washed off. I talked with them (someone hung up on me twice, pissed me off) and they decoded to send me the sensation 4g. I am now going to be here and there trying to port good roms for you guys to enjoy on the mt4g! By the way, sense 3.6 on HTC isn't that different. Don't get too excited about it folks... Well thanks a lot for you're help ladies and gentlemen! Gcashiel singing off.
Ps. Pm Me if you like any sensation roms for me to port over!
