Hi,
sorry for lame questions but i'm begining in android.
After rooting 2.1, is it possible to return to stock rom without a trace of rooting?
(i'm asking this, because of the warranty)
if yes, restoring with SE update will do the job?
Thanx
SuperOneClick -> Unroot

Yes.. Flash the phone it PC Companion or SE Update service, et voilà.. NO traces of rooting
hey guys,
so i found out that my touch screen is all messed up so I plan on calling motorola tomorrow and sending the phone in for repair. but before I do that i want to revert the phone back to stock as much as possible so that i don't void my warranty. how do i?
(1) re-lock the boot loader?
(2) remove root?
(3) flash stock rom?
and actually another question is that is it even necessary for me to put the phone back to stock? would they really care?
thanks in advance.

some people have gotten away with sending in their modded phones, but if you want to restore to completely stock flash a 2.3.4 gingerbread .sbf file with rsdlite.
I've rooted with King Root. Since I have got troubles with GPS and need to send phone for repair, I need to completely unroot with no trace that phone was rooted. Do you know hot to do it...? I've found that after unroot via King root RW is still mentioned while booting, so it's not clean unroot... Please explain if you can step by step.
Thank you very much.

Can you just do a factory reset from the recovery menu? Before I bought mine on Ebay I asked the seller about rooting and what if it bricks, he just said I can send it back within a month with no questions asked more or less.

Didn't try yet, in the meantime rather asking. Now did Nandroid backup and trying to find out if I can flash it without root in COS recovery or need to root again, install Nadroid backup and restore vie this app.
Also in Nandroid backup is missing script for Lenovo ZUk Z1 and no chance to find it, so I will cross fingers that it will not cause additional problem during recovering from backup...

Tried factory reset and full wipe and still not updatable, OTA update ends with same log "system was RW mounted" so it seems it's irreversible if you root. Very bad news, so you can't then apply warranty.
Do you have anybody advice how to reset into facotry default without any trace device was rooted..?????
You could try this toolkit, but you will need stock rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/development/win-zuk-z1-toolkit-0-1-alpha-t3235964
So it seems, it's not possible to make safe root and unroot on ZUk Z1 device as far as I know. Maybe somehow very difficult. That's not great news indeed. It's my first phone ever not possible root / unroot safely. And it's giving me feeling that Z1 despite it's great device in terms of hardware is not good choice. Also quite surprised how far away from well tuned OS is current release. I can't understand, why just CM didn't develop OS with possible root right or didn't incorporate full device backup. Honestly I don't care so much and probably neither other users about root, if natively in OS is complete backup / recovery. And... If I can do root without possibility go back (reclaiming warranty or not functional OTA update), then it makes me think, if really Z1 via CM is good choice or not. Despite really nice HW and materials... Pitty

No you should have read how to do it before you touched the phone. XDA is not a spoon feeding centre. It's for people who want to help themselves. If you had done the reading and had an issue with getting a part of the process to work, yes, but to blindly rush in and want it sorted out because of your own +++++ I must sound like a #### but you learn then act. Everyone has 4 posts and a screwed up phone wanting help. Errr there is a link between the two.
1.Flash a clean COS image via Twrp
2.Flash a clean COS recovery via twrp or adb sideload
3.Lock the bootloader
Hi to everyone
ok, Im a begginer in this area of rooting and this kind of stuffs but recently the idea of rooting my device came to my mind ( Tablet lenovo A1000L-f) which is been 1 year since i bought this device... but lets get it to my doubt and questions about rooting.
. I want to root my device ( with kingo root) and maybe install a different ROM because my tablet is very slow and sometimes it crash and i have to make a hard reset and yes i would like to use apps that only rooted devices can use1
. i have heard that once you root your device the warrantly is void and there is the chance of make of my tablet a brick so, i want to know how could i back up my system ( the original from factory before root) in case anything goes wrong just unistall the rooted system and install back the original image from factory
i would be very...very thankful if anyone could help and excuse me for any foolish, i have said above! :silly:
Does anyone know if there is a way to root this phone without having to flash the rom? (Temporary or soft root)
I remember doing it on one of my older phones but all I can find for this is rooting by unlocking bootloader and flashing.
I would like to be able to retain my warranty if possible or at the least be able to unroot if I need to return this phone
Any help would be awesome!
