Need to return the phone - how to UNROOT?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hello,

Get hero last week.

I have uploaded the rooted 2.73 T-mobile rom from modaco website and also flashed eu radio.

Unfortunately I need to send it back as I have no reception at work.

Do you advise to put it back to default settings I mean to original rom or if I could send it back as it is (are they going to find out - or maybe they do not care)?

I do not know how to put it back to default rom. I have kept original backup and didnt flash the recovery permanently.

Please advise how to do it safely.

Thanx

They might not take it back rooted as I'm pretty sure that voids the warranty.

That said, if you download/run the rom update available from the HTC support site that should return it to it's original state and get rid of the custom rom, kernal, and fastboot stuff. (Device might be updated, but in a way that the phone co' won't mind).

1. how can I put it back to the default rom 1.73...?

or simply how to unroot the phone - is there any software in the generic rom which can be uninstalled to make it unrooted

2. can i follow the steps below

* adb shell mount /system

* adb shell rm /system/app/Superuser.apk (if you have it)

* adb push su /system/bin/

* reboot

3 or maybe I should update to the original rom from T-mobile website - RUU_Hero_T-Mobile_UK_2.73.110.26_release_signed_NoDriver.zip?

4 is it possible to upload the 2.73 unrooted rom on to the 2.73 rooted one?

please give me some tips/guides how to make it safely

Option 3 will put you right just run the setup and off you go

That's what I meant by "download/run the rom update available from the HTC support site"
