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.

hey guys,
bought my samsung captivate two days ago and i love it. from reading all the posts about how rooting is awesome i finally took the plunge and rooted my phone with the one click root program. followed the directions to the teeth, everything went fine. even went as far as downloading clockwork and backing up my rom.
few hours later, im totally blown that i rooted my phone. i realized i threw away my warranty.
is there ANY way to unroot the phone and make it totally stock and make it seem like the phone was never altered? i read some answers of "yeah" and some answers of "once your rooted, you can't get back" (i remember reading about an article about how some android phones like the nexus one, once you root theres no going back period). the program i used had a unroot button but im not sure if that would wipe everything away to factory settings and erase all traces of the root.
i know im effing stupid for not thinking it threw. but hey, its good that i came to my senses before i loaded up an os.
to be clear, my phone is just rooted. nothing else. im not running cognitive rom or anything. its running the stock samsung 2.1.
so can anyone PLEASE PLEASE help me solve this problem?
im a total noob when it comes to android.
it took me 20 minutes doing that one click from reading the directions over and over again lol.
i need some step by step directions for stupid people
okay, so i followed the directions to unroot. the programs that were installed when i rooted seemed to have disappear. to be extra sure, i reformatted my sd card and than factory restored the phone (from settings/privacy). quick question though, after i pressed "factory reset" my phone rebooted and than for a quick second i saw the same screen i saw when i rooted (the black screen with the yellow font? looked like a system command prompt i guess). it came on for a sec and than disappeared and it booted regularly. did that happen because i did a factory reset or did that happen because im still rooted?
wtf is wrong with me. i just want my unrooted captivate back (and my warranty lol)
odin to stock with master clear.
There's a thread under android development something with "stock rom" that should restore your phone back to factory.
If you did all of that then you are definitely back to stock now & theres no way of detecting your phone was rooted. You could of gotten away with just using one click to unroot. Thats all I did when I returned mine after a week because my gps never worked at all. I dont think they even did anything to check if it was rooted or anything. Hows your gps on the new one by the way? Mines still bad but at least it sees some satellites now. My old one had a hardware problem where gps wouldn't do anything at all.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
When you use odin to flash back to stock does that restore the AT&T bloatware as well? Or should I use TiB when I first get the phone to get the bloatware back on?
Thanks,

After trying to exchange my phone for another phone (thinking the GPS is a hardware issue) I had rooted and flashed a custom rom. I reverted back using ODIN master clear and ODIN 2.1 rom (Which puts bloatware and everything on it) and there's no way to detect it. The only time it will truly void your warranty (I believe) if you go into the store with a custom rom or if you go into the store with a bricked phone and they figure out you were modifying your phone.
thanks for the answers guys! why is it that you cant "unroot" a nexus one? i heard they'll always be able to tell if your rooted once you do it.
Hey guys i have just sent in my htc hero for repair and won't be back for a whlie and im sure most of you know how slow and sluggish the hero is stock. Im dying to have a faster phone, so what do you guys think i should do? root the loaner phone? can i unroot easily? If so can you provide me with directions on how to do this?
Personally, I would leave it alone. You don't want any issues with the phone not being returned in the same condition you got it in.
That being said, if you must have root on a temporary device, try using z4root, and use the Temporary Root option.

Hey everyone, let me first say that if this isn't in the correct area of the forum, my sincere apologies. Now onto the main question. So, awhile back I rooted my Samsung Replenish because a good friend of mine recommended that I do so. I really enjoyed it at first, but now I'm starting to have the worry of possibly getting caught by my provider. That, or I have to take the phone in for maintenance and they deny me service because it's rooted. So, my basic question really is how do I unroot root my Replenish? I spoke to someone and they told me to flash it back to the stock ROM. But I have no idea how to do that. Thank so much guys, I really appreciate it.
Just flashing back to stock does not actually unroot it. You should probably check under the forum created for your phone for a quide in how to unroot it.
I can't seem to find the thread for the Samsung Replenish.
I'm not sure what it should be but you might need to use a codename of some sort for the thread. If there indeed is no threat there should be a post somewhere around the forums which tells a rooting method also works for your phone. It's not unlikely your phone shares a bootloader with another samsung phone
I'm an extreme noob when it comes to this sort of thing, so if someone could please help guide me through this, it'd be very appreciated. My phone is acting up so I have to take it in. So the sooner it's unrooted, the better.
Does anyone know how to unroot the samsung conquer 4g and bring it back to factory stock? I need to remove Odin and clockwork mod so that the phone can reprogrammed for use with Ting. (They have a bring your own device program that's in beta and this is one of the phones on their approved list that auto-programs.) So far I've gotten everything to work except for data. It's my wife's phone and she's throwing a fit.
If I don't get this fixed soon, I'm stuck on the couch until I can save up enough to get her a galaxy note 2, lol. Plus the info would be very helpful.
Í have already tried this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768456 but the instructions aren't clear enough to do what I need to get done. They just give you a link on how to root the device using Odin. I need instructions on UNrooting the conquer with Odin as well as removing clockwork mod and replacing it with the factory stock bootloader. If anyone can help, please post it here. I plan on merging all of the resources for this endeavor after I have all of the facts. Also, Ting is looking at options to have a custom rom built for them. Any devs that are interested can pm me and I will put you in contact with either Scott or James (the Ting officials that are running the Ting Army). :highfive: Anyways, let's see what can be done about this phone so that not only I can benefit from the knowledge, but others may benifit from it as well. Thank you all for your time and hard work.
I rooted my evo about two years ago and now I am giving the phone to my mother to use, so I am trying to unroot it, but I can't seem to get in unrooted! I've been using the Complete unroot option on the SuperSU app, but it never seems to get it done. When I open it up, it says that the binary needs to be updated, but I can't seem to be able to do that either! HELP! I need the phone unrooted asap.
Hi,
You likely need to flash a RUU for your model to get back to stock. But for other ideas or help on that, you can ask here,
