Root Removing Root Question

[DXFan]

I'm going to be returning/getting another X due to some signal reception issues, and I have it rooted. In order to return to a factory/pre-root setup can I just remove the Superuser.apk, su, busybox, and exploid from the system folders I copied them to and do a factory restore after that? Or were there other changes made by the exploid file?

Thanks

OST. Nobody has "unrooted" to my knowledge.

Here's what I did to unroot. Keep in mind I'm sure this is not a complete unroot; however, this will erase all traces of root by normal means.

1. Through ADB mount the /system file system as rw
2. Go into /system/app and remove Superuser.apk
3. sync the file system and remount the /system file system as ro
4. type "adb reboot recovery

Here is how to mount the system as R/W through adb
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtd/mtdblock4 /system
And here is RO
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/mtd/mtdblock4 /system
And in root explorer its in the type right corner

Thanks! I knew a more thorough method would come.

I have heard conflicting information on this, but will I need to unroot to have access to Froyo? If i have frozen/deleted apps (city ID, blockbuster, kindle, amazon, etc), will I need to unthaw/reinstall them?

Kind of curious...

I'm curious about this too, I've deleted a lot of stock apps (24) and would need to know which ones to reinstall to get the Froyo update.

I am pretty sure everything will get reinstalled
And for anybody who hasn't received the update yet(for .604) look at post 2
