[How to] Unroot Toshiba Thrive

---

Well for those that were curious, you can unroot the Thrive. Some may want to, pending Toshiba's rumored update to fix the sleep of death either this week or next. now again, this WILL UNROOT THE DEVICE, so no superuser apps can be used. It won't delete you data, apps, settings, ect. Nothing will be affected. I did mine differently, but dalepl wrote up the instructions before I did, so credit it technically his.

"OK, for you or anyone else that needs to unroot thier Thrive, here are the steps to follow:

1. First, if you removed any files or used Titanium Backup to freeze any apps, you need to undo this.
2. If you renamed the two files that restore the recovery image, you need to rename them back.
a. /system/recovery-from-boot.p
b. /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
3. Delete all files from the /system/xbin directory except dexdump
4. Delete su from the /system/bin directory (if there)
5. Delete Superuser.apk from the /system/app directory
6. Reflash from fastboot the stock boot image
a. Thrive rebooted into fastboot - first icon on the recovery menu
b. fastboot flash boot boot.img (or whatever the file is named)
7. Reflash from fastboot the stock recovery image
a. Should alredy be in fastboot
b. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (or whatever the file is named)
Once this is done, reboot and the device should start normaly without root.

Thanks for getting this posted teh roxxorz. People will be asking for this when the OTA is released and they find they cannot install it.

No prob; that's why I wanted to get it posted because:

1) People with root won't be able to accept the OTA with root
2) Said people may wana unroot for it, then wait for a new root on that image.

So, how does one root this in the 1st place?

There should be a how to root before there's a how to unroot thread. No?
