Couple basic questions for you guys:

1. I rooted my phone. I didn't install any ROMs or anything. I just wanted to get rid of the bloatware and such so it wouldn't take up space, etc. How do I unroot it incase I have to send it in? Would this also require me to lock the bootloader, and if so, how do I do this?

2. Since I deleted apps and a couple of other things, how do I make it go back to "stock" where as I would have those deleted apps and such back onto the phone? If I deleted the apps, and unrooted my phone, would they look at it and see I deleted them and not fix my phone?

3. Apart from those questions, overall.. How do I make my phone "out of box" again, and then unroot the phone and lock the bootloader?

dont need to unroot to send it in... they just dont care.. would only need to unroot if you want to sell the phone... bunch of guides available... use the search button..

2. Since I deleted apps and a couple of other things, how do I make it go back to "stock" where as I would have those deleted apps and such back onto the phone? If I deleted the apps, and unrooted my phone, would they look at it and see I deleted them and not fix my phone?

Again.. they dont care... but you can flash the stock rom again...

3. Apart from those questions, overall.. How do I make my phone "out of box" again, and then unroot the phone and lock the bootloader?

there are a bunch of guides... will find a link and edit this post...
