[Q] Milestone 2 Back up

Hi guys, I am new to android and rooting the androids. I'm using a Motorola Milestone 2 (A953) and was tempted by the features provided by rooting. So far I've rooted my phone with z4root.
My question is, how do I go about backing up the phone? ie which software/apps
If I am only using the superuser/root access for extended apps, not custom ROMs and things, is it still necessary to back up the phone?
If I have the need to return the phone to its stock state (unrooted), how would I go about doing that.
And lastly, what should a beginner like me be aware of/careful of?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] New to Android and Rooting

I've read some topics about Rooting, but I still have some questions. I would appreciate if someone answered them. I recently bought a G2x after returning my second one about a month ago (couldn't find anything in the market as awesome as the G2x). Coming from an iPhone 1st Gen and BlackBerry Bold 9700, I'm completely new to rooting.
So, here are my questions:
1. If I root my phone to get rid of bloatware, it will void my warranty right? What if I unroot it? Would my warranty still be voided (i.e., I wouldn't be able to send my phone to LG for repair or replacement/return the phone to T-Mobile?)
2. When people say "freeze bloatware," does that mean that the bloatware apps won't execute or is it like deleting them? Will they show up in the app drawer if I freeze them?
3. If the frozen bloatware will still show up in the app drawer, will deleting them remove them permanently from the device? Can I revert back to "factory" state?
4. Finally, what are goods apps that can only be used on a rooted G2x?
Once again, I appreciate anyone's time in answering my somewhat stupid questions.
1) Yes, unroot it and you can send it back for warranty purposes.
2) Bloatware app will disappear from your app drawer.
3) You can delete, it'll disappear from your app drawer for good. Using Titanium Backup, you can backup what you want to delete just in case.
4) There's no app that can "only" be used on a rooted G2x. There are some Tegra games that work quite well on the G2x, but not others. You don't need to be a root to accomplish that.
GideonX,
Thanks for answering my questions. I'm thinking about following this guide: http://thegadgets.net/2011/04/29/how-to-root-and-boost-battery-life-of-the-t-mobile-g2x/
If root it, install the ClockWork Recovery and BusyBox, and evetually flash a ROM, will I be able to revert back to factory for warranty purposes?
Thanks
I thought rooting will void the warranty.

Yes. You can revert....Baby steps. Root first and get comfortable before modding your bootloader and flashing roms.

[Q] Rogers, Rooting & Unroot

Hi, new Android user looking to get into rooting my device!
So I'd like to root my Infuse 4G (for Rogers), and I've found several ways, but no way to "unroot" the device.
In case of a warranty replacement, I understand that I can flash the stock rom.. but the root remains, which still voids my warranty.
I've checked all the threads in relation to unrooting, and they all seem to be for AT&T model Infuse 4G's, which wouldn't work on a Rogers device.
Is there a for sure way to go back completely to stock, absolutely unrooted if I was to root/flash a rom?
Thank you!

It's possible to manually unroot - remove the su binary and superuser.apk (remove superuser.apk first!)
I'll chat with gtg about releasing a non-rooted return-to-stock package for Rogers firmwares.

That would be great, as I'd really like to get this baby rooted/flashed!
So if I was to root right now, flash a rom and then use GTG's odin method to return to Stock rom (which is rooted), all I'd have to do is remove superuser.apk and then.. "su binary"? (sorry, still new!).
Just to help you out, this was the method I was planning on using (to root) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197248
Bump, if someone could answer my question that'd be awesome.
Have you heard anything on the Return to Stock unroot for Rogers?
The root I did messed up my handset microphone so I need to get back to stock.
Thanks

Galaxy S Showcase root help

So I need to return my phone to cspire because its messing up. What I need is a good guide to the best way to make my phone back to like completely stock. Tried unrooting and all but that still leaves super user and it just won't go away. I just need it to pass their tests so it can be replaced.

[Q] Generic steps for un-rooting a custom ROM

Can someone shed some light onto what needs to be done to un-root a custom ROM? Basically I have a crappy old phone which I decided to repurpose for working with an MDM solution my company is using(Citrix Worx Home/Zenprise). I can't use the stock ROM because it's Gingerbread which is not supported by the Citrix app, so I had to flash CM9 on the phone.
The problem is that the app checks for root access. I tried using some tools like "Hide my Root" without success. Even if the SU app is removed, the root detection still triggers.
So I am looking for generic steps of what can be done to remove root access from a ROM which came rooted. Doing a search the only posts I find are more relevant to people who want to return to stock ROM and not unroot a custom ROM. Are there other things that need to be modified besides removing the SuperUser apk?
Try this app..

Costs a little but hope it's worth for it
Hit thanks rather than typing it
