Root How to Remove Root from 2.1? (Currently in 2.2)

[kentl901]

Hey all,

So my phone was rooted using 1 click method during 2.1.

However, my phone is now in 2.2. I did a hard/factory reset. Apparently that didn't remove Superuser permission. Residual root files are still there. I made sure to untick the option to back up my settings. So... I'm guessing I have to manually get it out.

Any ideas how I can do it now? I'm looking to root 2.2 but I think it's best if I start fresh.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Really no reason to start fresh as you will overwrite whats there when rerooting.

That method is about as easy as it gets

edit: also you have to be rooted in order to remove those files from your phone because they are in /system.
