back to stock

Hello Guys,
I have rooted my phone and installed the RA-hero-v1.6.2a and need to send the phone back to T-mobile.
As for root, am I right in thinking I can just load the RUU_Hero_T-Mobile_UK_2.73.110.26_release_signed_NoDriver.exe and this will remove root?
How to I remove the recovery?
Thanks,
Daniel

If you flash that RUU, it should restore everything, including recovery.
That will remove root.
When you get it back, it may have 2.1 on it, but that's easily rootable now using sticky in dev forum

Much harder to go back to stock then to root

it's not difficult, but if you want an easier way just use one of the many toolkits.

Go back to stock without losing ROOT

HI everyone I would like to go back to completely stock without losing my root. I know there is a thread to go back to stock and I have done it before and I lost my root. I just want to go back to a completely stock ROM ?
Thank you in advance

Just use the flash tool and then use the all in one kit that will flash twrp. Then boot into recovery and press reboot. It should prompt you to root.

Root takes seconds with ioroot after flashing the kdz - what's the big deal?

Hi Guys, I have read some topics about downgrading, but im not fully understanding if this is only for people who is already rooted or if this will work for a non rooted device. In my case i have an At&t Lg G2 not rooted with 4.4.2 kitkat and wanted to revert to 4.2 so i can root and then flash a rooted stock 4.4.2 kitkat. Is it possible to do that, even if i was never rooted? I do understand there's no root for kitkat as of now.
Thanks guys.

[Q] Unroot G2

Hi Friends!
I rooted my G2, just rooted. I didn't install another ROM.
So, My G2 is StockROM rooted.
How Can I back to unrooted? Factory Reset?
Thanks!

Unroot via SuperSU or go back to stock using the "How to get back to Stock GUIDE". The latter is preferred.

Why you want to unroot let it be rooted. Root has many advantages.
