[Q] Get This Phone Stock Again?

---

Hi there, I got this phone a couple weeks back and am loving it, however, I just rooted my phone, and changed the boot animation, messed around with a couple of other settings, and went to try and get them back to normal, and came to the slow realisation that I should have backed stuff up beforehand...

Now, I wondered if you guys could tell me how to get this phone back to how it came out of the box (unrooted, stock bootscreen, no apps installed etc.)
I rooted it without unlocking the bootloader using the "Gingerbreak" apk.

I'm pretty new to android, so please, please use small words?
Thanks

EDIT: I used "Root Tools" to change the boot animation

Did you try factory reset and SEUS?
Otherwise. Above should do it.

Does this require unlocked bootloader?
And I tried factory reset, didnt give me back programs, and SEUS was no use at all, just told me I had the latest software and to go away :/

I believe SEUS have the option to reinstall.
Anyways. Flashtool should work on locked device. Only perhaps possible issue reported is with Hongkong models.

no flashtools doesn't work on locked XP, I tried it. try this, it should restore everything:

just follow it through, and it will reset everything. I already used it twice.

Well the flash tools worked a treat, everything is stock, and I had a locked bootloader. thanks a lot for your help!

Really? which image did you used? I used the generic UK and it always asks me to reboot the phone into bootloader. can you try out SE tools?
