Hey guys, nice find. But I have asked this all over the place and I think it is a very relevant question, especially if one uses this method to return the phone; so I ask it here as well.
P3Droid says that when you boot into bootloader/fastboot mode there is a counter visible on the screen showing how many times the bootloader has been unlocked/locked. Has anyone seen this? And if so, when you go through this method, does the counter in fact reset?
I hope someone takes a look at this as I feel it's an important thing to take note of in this endeavor.
you need those in order to do this. I'd recommend doing it...
Just realized I have a flawed screen and I want to get a replacement so I'm gonna have to lock/unroot it seems.
How do I do this if I followed the "slightly easier manual method" of rooting. I never had to download the SDK or use adb for that so I don't know how that translates to doing the unroot...
