Root Flash Back to Stock Recovery?

Hey guys,

I'm looking at sending my phone back in to TMO, but I don't want there to be a trace of anything. I rooted via the update.zip and flashed Clockwork, but haven't flashed any other roms or anything.

I was curious, is there a way to flash back to the stock recovery? Or would uninstalling Rom Manager, then unrooting via terminal, have the same effect?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

You're still running the stock rom, you just rooted your phone, that's all. Here's what I would do:

1. Uninstall Rom Manager first.
2. Unroot your phone.
3. Go to your dialer, and type in *2767*3855#. This code is used for factory format. It'll remove all files and settings including the internal memory storage, and reinstall the phone firmware from when you first took it out of the box.
