This is a guide we should have just in case people want to go back to normal. Can anyone say step by step how do we unroot our phone and how do we uninstall a custom rom.
Thanks in advanced, this will help people if they ever want to go back.
EDIT.. I figured out one sure way to uninstall a custom rom, and that is to just restore your nandroid backup that you should have made before you installed the rom.
Just factory reset the phone.
if you run RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.29.651.1_signed_release.exe it will be like the way you got it. Unrooted and stock
you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622

That won't work because when you load a custom rom, it effectively "becomes" the factory image.

yes it will make it so its just like you got it on day one new in the box
yup, RUU will unroot your phone, delete all installed apps and settings to include call logs, sms's, or anything else you have on your phone.
Pictures and some downloads are automatically downloaded to your sd card so those should be fine.

Trying to restore and nandroid is saying run " nandroid-mobile.sh restore" on console.. any ideas why.
I backed up nandroid on my PC and then formated the SDcard for App2sd but then realized that I formated off my pictures. Kind of hoping those were saved in the nandroid backup.
Has anyone actually attempted to un-root using this RUU utility?
A couple users at androidforums are trying to go back to stock and running into problems - the app it telling them something along the lines of 'you cannot use this utility with your phone, please use the correct utility'
I can't remember exact verbage atm - but something along those lines.
I'm running linux and don't really trust trying this through a Windows VM, else I'd answer my own question here.

Yes I did when I had some problems and it works just fine. You have to be able to have your phone on, usb connected and seen by your computer for it to work. I then rooted the phone again.

First download + install HTC Sync. Verify that HTC Sync can see your phone. If not, you need to uninstall drivers, unplug your phone, plug it back in and have windows find the drivers again for you. EDIT: Just a note, on my Vista comp HTC Sync didn't recognize it for me so I had to pull out a comp with XP on it. Windows 7 I don't know. Vista still works though, I just think I did something funky to the drivers on there.
Next, just exit HTC Sync or leave it running doesn't matter.
Now, while your phone is plugged in Download the RUU exe. Run it, follow directions. Voila. Everything wiped back to brand new out of the box HTC rom.
Thanks TOKi
I did but I dunno if my phone is unrooted or not. Anyway to check this?
Plus my phone is deactivated and I have no idea how to reactivate it. Haha.

I have tried several times. Each time I cannot get past the "waiting for bootloader" part. It must have something to do with replacing the recovery partition with RA-heroc-v1.2.3.
Anyone else have this issue?
I had this issue, but I unplugged and tried the process again and it fixed itself
There is a thread with this info in it, but it is buried deep in over a hundred pages and I thought the warning for HelixLauncher bared having a new post.
Here is the link to download the update.
http://android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-FRF50-from-ERE27.1e519a24.zip
Looks like that link is dead... here is a mirror
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/113487/signed-passion-FRF50-from-ERE27.1e519a24.zip
And one more just in case the others go down.
http://www.filefactory.com/file/b1chb29/n/update-nexusone-FRF50-signed.zip
Warning!! If you use Helixlauncher, uninstall or remove its defaults. It will go into a Force Close loop, making the phone unusable without booting into recovery again and performing a factory wipe/reset.
How to flash the update, I used these steps and it worked fine, but remember, there is always the possibility to brick the phone.
1. Download file from link up there.
2. Rename the file to update.zip.
3. Note that if you're using Windows and don't have "show file extentsions" turned on in the file explorer you won't see a .zip. Just rename it to "update" (no quotes, of course) because it's already a zipped file.
4. Copy the update.zip file onto your microSD card.
5. With your Nexus One off, hold down the trackball and press the power button.
6. You'll be booted into a white screen with three Android robots on skateboards. Select "Bootloader."
7. On the next screen, select "Recovery."
8. Your phone will reboot, giving you a picture of the Android robot and an exclamation point inside a triangle.
9. Now press the power button and volume up button at the same time. It could take a couple of tries.
10. Now (using the trackball this time) choose "Apply sdcard:update.zip" and let things run their course.
Taken from the update-1 instructions on:
http://www.androidcentral.com/how-ma...your-nexus-one
Also, I don't think my phone rebooted own its own after the update. After a minute or two, I tried hitting power and power+vol up to get the menu and reset manually. During that time it reset and booted up fine. So I say give it a few minutes before trying to reboot after the update finishes.
Edit: a ton of threads have popped into existence about froyo, but I didn't see any with early warnings about Helixlauncher.... ah well, maybe this post can be helpful for someone out there.
Edit 2: From what I am seeing, AT&T phones are on a different build of Android than the T-mobile N1. Seems like if you have an AT&T version you are out of luck for right now. This update was meant for the demo devices given to the Press outlets around launch, before the AT&T phone existed.

If it is a US update then using it on a nexus one in England might not be a good idea, but I doubt it would hurt the phone, but some things might not work right.

about the HELIXLAUNCHER:
there is NO NEED FOR WIPING everything! i had the same problem after updating and these force kills were really anoying.
here's what you have to do
1. remove your sim card (necessary because other wise your phone will reboot in safe mode - don't ask me why, but it did)
2. get into safe mode: (menu button long press while the X flashes on the load, give it a few tries, it vibrate long if it works)
3. delete helix
4. reboot
5. pray and thank me ;-)
worked for me!
I obtained root and rebooted so I could wipe and flash the Syndicate ROM. I had it on my SD Card (at least I sure thought I did). After wiping, I choose to flash a zip file from the SD card, and the ROM file isn't there. Now I can't boot, I can't apply a ROM. What's my best bet here?

take out the sd card and just put it in another phone or on the computer and to the rom you want on it and then put it back in your phone
Did you check all the likely places? Sometimes I dl it to my phone and forget what folder it went to.
Since you have cwm its no biggie. Just power down as ^^ and 3 finger to your recovery.

Well when it goes into the master screen.... where you wipe data, it has a name, teamwin..... anyway, I have not flashed it, but was trying to. Thing is, after I wiped, I could not figure out how to get the new rom installed. I wiped everything I have an SD card but having problems with loading anything off the sd card to install ROM, plus I am not even sure the ROM I have works being I downloaded it off the net.

What rom are you trying to flash?
If everything is already wiped, all you need to do is install a rom for the evo shift (go have a look in the dev section) and everything should be swell again?

I have tried the CF-Auto-Root method twice now, both resulting in being stuck on boot like the other times. However, maybe I needed to wait longer? Next time I attempt a root I will leave the phone alone for at least 15 minutes before I call it a failure. Still, the post you linked seems to be for older firmware. Would you still recommend the method for Nougat? Thanks for the reply.

I think I've isolated the problem. After using adb sideloader to install magisk and antiroot remover, I'm prompted to reboot. In other guides, there is a further options screen after pressing the reboot button which has a couple checked boxes and a button that says "Do Not Install". I see this screen for maybe a third of a second after selecting Reboot before the device reboots on its own. Just tried this and now I'm stuck on the Samsung boot logo once again.
Note: There are many errors in the adb sideloader log relating to being unable to mount/unmount /data/ and stuff like that that I know are related to having an SD inserted.
Edit: I should also note that I am new to android. Fresh newbee from iOS, but I have been jailbreaking for the past 9 years. Still in over my head I think.

Deleting stock apps, installing adblock, exploring non-Google Play apps, possibly installing custom ROM. I enjoy seeing what my phone can do.

Once data is wiped in twrp then reboot back to recovery and connect usb to pc. You should be able to copy SuperSU zip via mtp and your phone should show up on pc. Flash SuperSU zip once copied

The phone is recognized on the PC but there are no folders. Any files I try to drag over come up with an error. Furthermore, I could use the stock firmware USB to store the necessary files on it, but I can't seem to navigate to the same storage destination via the TWRP file browser.

You could copy SuperSU zip to a usb flash drive and use the otg adapter that came with the s7? Twrp support otg usb install.

I've had no trouble installing TWRP whatsoever. I've done it five times today!

seems nice, good luck. maybe lacking some finishing touches you need to do. I remember well my first too so, and the key is I have to format the data in twrp

Update: Still stuck on Samsung boot logo after 15+ minutes after successfully loading from usb drive. TWRP still skipped right by the reboot options screen after the install... I have no clue why it's doing that. It's like it's taking the command to reboot after I press the button and processing it while it is going to the next screen. I don't know. Hopefully someone does. It's so close!
EDIT: IT WORKED!!! Had to format and then installing from usb drive worked great! Thank you so much!!

I am glad to hear it. Like I said, just need the final touch that you might forget

False alarm! Root checker says my phone is not rooted... I'm lost... At least my phone booted?

Currently following this tutorial and awaiting boot past the Samsung logo. Hoping it works. I see no reason why it shouldn't.
Edit: Running a rooted Android. Thanks
