Root Can't unroot. SD problem? Please help.

[mfuchs88]

Hi everybody, I am rooted on Android 2.1 and want to unroot for the OTA update of 2.3. I have followed numerous Youtube videos and even reset my phone and SD and then tried those videos again. When I am in bootloader, it does not recognize the file, and if I manually select it, my phone displays a message very fast and tells me it can not read it. I am guilty of pulling the SD card out without first un-mounting it a couple of times. I just don't like root and really want to update to 2.3 very soon. I have no idea of where to go from here because when I put the stock 2.1 image on the root of my SD, it can never use it to update or open it, so I am stuck with root until I can fix that problem. Please AndroidForums, direct me where to go, or how to fix this problem, as I know that you guys are always so helpful to everyone. I appreciate it! If you have any questions or comments that you would rather email me with, please hit me up at mfuchs88@yahoo.com

have you tried loading the "PB31IMG.zip" file found here in hboot?

Also make sure your sd card is formatted to FAT32, that is the most common cause of Hboot not being able to read the file or try a different SD card formatted to FAT32.
PS: the update that came out is not 2.3(gingerbread) it was just a maintenance update.

Well I don't think that update would work due to the fact the I'm rooted on 2.1, so me downgrading to 2.2 doesn't make sense. And yes, I just meant in anticipation of 2.3. Ok, ill try formatting my SD to FAT32, thanks so much for the help.

...that file is 2.2, it wouldn't be a downgrade, it would be an upgrade if you are on 2.1

Yeah you wont get the OTA nag because it was tweaks for 2.2. Like sdrawkcab said, you can use it to upgrade to the latest stock setup if that is your intent.
