Questions from a Newbie about Rooted Phone...

You have a couple of options. If you want the phone to be out-of-the-box stock and remove root, you can use the AAHK and the "Return to Stock" option. That will flash the stock HTC Sense/ATT rom and return the phone to S-ON state.

If you want to stay rooted and just want the stock HTC gingerbread ROM, you can just flash a rooted version of the ROM.

I can't remember for sure if you can run the HTC RUU on a rooted phone. Never tried it. If you can, that will most likely return to stock and S-ON.

 

I have personally used this tool to unroot an inspire for a warranty claim and it did work perfectly. It reloaded the stock rom with all of atts bloatware and everything

rooting is a bad idea, your phone uld either be bricked to where its just a peice of plastic or coul?d void the warenty. now is it really worth it
