My screed died on my G2 Vision last night. I am getting a new phone in the next few days...but I highly doubt I can send them back a rooted phone. Is there a way to un-root the phone as well as flash the stock ROM by using ADB? I am currently running CM6.1.1
I would try it with a official HTC RUU file. You don't need to do anything on the phone with it.
Any particular place I can go to get this file...or instructions on how to install it?

I wanna wipe radio/pri/prl/rom/custom recovery/EVERYTHING completely to a stock 2.2 froyo sprint rom WITHOUT root and custom recovery.
After i return my phone to 2.2 like i just got it from sprint...
Then i want to full root it and have the new 1.8 RA recovery...
I guess whatever custom rom i go back to from there, i'll decide.. but for now
I want a piece of mind that my phone is properly working like it should from factory.
Thanks for any assistance on what proper steps i should take.

Firstly, how did you root your phone? I see your join date is from '07, so you aren't a newbie that came on here in June when you got your Evo (like me.....lol). If you rooted the "old school" way using toast's method, all you have to do is flash a Sprint RUU (any Sprint RUU, as it will prompt you to the an OTA update to 2.2 even if you flash an older RUU) and your phone goes back to stock. If you rooted with Unrevoked Forever that keeps S-off, then it may be more complicated. I wouldn't be able to tell you because I've personally never used any of the Unrevoked team's stuff.
oh, sorry for lack of pre-rooting details.
yea launch phone with(at the time) 2.1, and i used that 3 button OTA simpleroot.
can i flash the sprint ruu 2.2, then use the new unrevoked?
do i need to wipe any details with ##786#?
I have a T-Mobile MyTouch 3g 1.2 and I have tried to unroot it and load the original rom back on it and for the life of me I can't. It updates the sappimg just fine in hboot until it gets to system and then I get some sort of error and have to reroot it and flash CM6.1 RC1 back on. I have tried running Universal Androot to unroot it with no success. Well, today I downloaded this nice little app from the Market called z4root by RyanZA(I think that's his name) and low and behold it actually unrooted my phone. I confirmed this by rebooting, opening rom manager app and it told me I need root to use it. I used z4root to reroot with no problems. My question is how would I flash the original T-mobile rom if I use this app to unroot my phone. Could I use the RUU.exe or is there a better way? I really want to go back to stock when the OTA for this phone comes out. I don't need to right now, but I just want to know how and try it so I know I can do it when the time comes. Would it be best to use a goldcard after unrooting to load sappimg? If anyone has any ideas or experience doing this please advise and I appreciate everyone here. This forum is great. I am a noob to Android devices and have been coming here about every day to read, read, read. I have learned so much here. Some of it is still gibberish to me, but I am learning. Thanks all!
When not flash a 32A 'port' of the mytouch 1.1 froyo ROM? It will perform exactly the same as any official update.
I was thinking about doing that, but after trying to go back to stock and failing I have kind of made it a challenge to get this done and figure it out. I guess since no one knows what to do I will just keep trying blind and keep reading. Thanks all and have a great day.
first, yes i know how to search!
i've found out that when you want to unroot your phone you have to do it using ruu's.
how do i know wich Ruu i should use?
when i install the Ruu, is it just like installing a new rom using clockwork?
and when i've installed the Ruu how do i uninstall clockwork and all the other things that comes with the root?
i am currently using the standard 2.1 update 1 rom for wildfire (original rom)
if you plan not to do rooting and flashing anymore, just update to 2.2. Everything will get original, but you will lose the opportunity to root it again. Otherwise, flash a kinda of unroot image, which comes with unrevoked, i didn't hear about it anyway. Try yourself.
To install the RUU, Download it (It will be an EXE File), install HTC Sync on your PC, Connect your device, and, run it. You will lose Clockworkmod and all root associated apps and priveleges when you unroot it.
First check that you can root your phone.
If you already have Froyo installed on your phone then you will have the new Hboot.
If can root use the old unbranded Eclair Ruu from shipped rom's.
It's in the guide (turkeys guide i think) stickyd at the top of the page.
I also want to go back to using stock ROMs. Froyo actually. The only reason I rooted was to gain app2sd facility which was not there in Eclair.
Now that Froyo is out for wildfire spare me the unstable ROMs. I will go for the Stock one.
I have the RUU for my mobile. But When I run it from PC, I get cannot upgrade your phone. I understand this is because I am having a custom recovery (Mine is ClockworkRecovery).
Now can anyone tell how I can get the stock Froyo ?
Do I need to get the stock recovery back ? Is there a bypass for this ?
Or is there a .zip file intead of RUU.exe files for Stock Froyo ?
So I gladly ran revolutionary for my evo. I managed to flash cm7 to it and wanted to see if i could get it back to stock just in case i needed to. Well i ran the file and it reboots the phone and tried to get into bootloader. It sits at the HTC screen and then the program states it fails and cannot find bootloader. Im not sure if this is important to people or not, but my evo is only a month old and if i can put it back to stock for warranty purposes it would be awesome. Anyone else try it?
I have looked and looked but probably not in the right places... I have a rooted Evo 4G with froyo 2.2. I used unrevoked forever and know how to get the s-on back... I just would like to update the phone to the newest update and root it again. Is it still necessary to get s-on back then load the original ruu rom? I would think I just need to remove the unrevoked then update. The phone works I just want newer firmware on it... My apologies if I did not look for my response properly, but all I see is a reload the IMG file... I dont want to set back to factory... just wanted to post this question. Thank You

There is absolutely no reason to unroot. All you have to do is flash a custom stock ROM based on the newest firmware. A whole bunch are available for flashing in the Development forum.
It is much easier to leave the phone S-OFF and then either flash a rooted stock ROM or run a stock RUU. Then all you would need to do to obtain full root again (with stock ROM) would be to install a custom recovery and then flash a superuser.zip file, rather than turning the phone back S-ON and then going through a potentially complicated procedure just to reroot and possibly turn the phone back S-OFF.
Thank You guys sounds like a custom rom is the way to go... it would get rid of that IQAgent also... I'll look around for a nice looking rooted rom.
