Just wondering why anyone would unroot unless they have to repair it using warranty?
I can think of 1000 reasons to root, but only 1 to unroot.
well i might have to unroot cuz i am receiving this rooted and unlocked mytouch 3g
i want to start fresh with it
imo it'll make a lot of things easier with roms and stuff
go to www.theunlockr.com they got vids and guids for it

Hmmm, should be a lot easier for you to get started with roms and stuff now that it is rooted.
But it sounds like you want to go through the steps by yourself to understand how things work?
Anyway, there is many different ways to root a magic all depends on HBOOT.
You should be happy you don't have to go through this, some mobiles still not root-able.
ya though it will make everything easier i just feel i need to do it by myself in order to understand it more
thanks ronni.rasmussen

IF YOUR PHONE IS ROOTED, DONT DO it UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING!!!! IF it is rooted thats easier for custom rom, unrooted means only provider Roms!
well if you wanna UNROOT your phone, try using the stock RUU, that should do the trick, unless your having a rogers, then PLEASE LEAVE IT ALONE!!
Because the new update is a perfect one, that means you cant root it that easy!!
I've got a Legend on Virgin (Canada) and I'm still debating rooting it. My question is if I needed to unroot for warranty or whatever else, would I need to find a Virgin branded ROM? Or could I just use a generic ROM and update normally? I'm still reading up on the whole root procedure but I want to make sure I know what's going on before I try it.

i think you would have to re-root with a virgin rom if you sent it to htc for warranty...
on the virgin legend i think we have to downgrade the bootloader before we can root and flash with a new rom
i am also debating on rooting but will probably wait until there is an official 2.2 rom from htc (supposedly this month)
So if that is the case (I agree it probably is), does anybody know where I can find the proper ROM? From what I gather I can't back it up until I've rooted the phone, but to do that I need to downgrade using a generic ROM, which means that I've already lost mine (correct me if I'm wrong...). Shipped-roms doesn't have it. I don't really want to root unless I have the option of at least attempting to reverse it because I'm paying for an extended replacement plan that I don't think I can get out of. Not too worried about the rooting process, but it'd be lame if something else happened and I couldn't unroot to send it back.

The Virgin HTC Legend is the same as Bell's rom wise and shipped roms have Bell's 2.03
Awesome, thanks. I'll try rooting tonight.
I will soon be getting a samsung galaxy g4 32gb phone from att. I want to know the best way to root it and remove the bloatware mainly att stuff, without bricking or messing up the phone. I love the ability to root i did with my on sony xperia play. Unfornately the last phone i had a lg optimus g crash and burn after rooting and trying to remove bloatware. So I want to make sure I have no problems. I heard it was easy and simple to do with a galaxy line but i just don't want to mess it up i can afford buying new phones.
thanks

I rooted mine with Chaifire's Autoroot and it was easy
but after rooting you dont get the updates!
so i want to unroot to get the official updates!
anyone knows any way to root without cancelling the updates?( I KNOW THAT after each update the root will be gone ! but i can reroot after each OTA updates!)

Bet you're not on mk2 firmware, I bet he is. Chainfire isn't going to work.

Root alone doesn't block the OTA. In fact, going from MF3 to MK2, you could first root with jortex's method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387577) and enable survival mode. Then after the OTA, you will still have root.

If you're using supersu there is a full unroot method in the apps settings. Look there.

I rooted that phone with kingo root through the computer. Bloatware on the I removed bloatware with ROM toolbox pro however when trying to do ota update it looked for the bloatware and when it didn't find it ota failed. (looked that up in the failed log - hung on not finding chaton) flashed mk2 rom then only froze the bloatware. have to see if the next update will fail I don't think it will though because when I only froze bloatware on mf3 I did get the mj9 ota update successfully
I was planning on rooting my S5 but wanted to be sure if I root I will still be able to get ota's,I know I will loose root once I take a ota but just want to make sure wont loose that feature . And is there any other functions that I might loose once I root

Bought a 'rooted' phone off of Swappa after getting an OF2 from att
waited a week to get this thing from Puerto Rico...turns out its on OF2 and root checker says its not rooted. ****.
I really need a phone, been without one for a month, any chance I am doing something wrong if root checker and Titanium backup both say the phone is not rooted but the seller did? Do I have to safestrap?
