Default Take away the "Root" logo in Phone info?

Anyone know how you get rid off that "root" text that stands on info about the phone?
GroundVersion: ------ and then it comes. root@SE-S603

Mean even if you reflash rom and so and you not got Root it still there, not good i guess if you need to send it in.

If my memory didn't fail me, its the original from the firmware.

Rooting your phone or not doesn't change that line.

DONATE TO ME
this line tells about the building username@computer where the rom was cooked and has nothing to do with having root or not. and yes, it can be changed in build.prop

Can someone post a tutorial to "un-root" the phone?

Thing is rooting voids warranty and if I need to send it back to repair I don't wanna loose my warranty :S

Rooting really voids the warranty? Damn, and I was about to do just that. Not worth the risk, yet. Thanks for the heads up!
