Return to Stock

---

i downgraded but could not get root. how do i and what method do i use to make it completely stock.

TO RETURN TO STOCK:

Make sure you S-ON (if able) BEFORE you Unroot. The S-On tool needs root permissions to function.

Step 1 (S-On):

Run Bubby323's S-On tool: S-On Tool

Step 2 (Unroot/Return Stock ROM):

Flash the stock AT&T ROM: RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_2 6.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed.exe

That's the original factory shipped rom, not rooted. =]

That will return everything back to the way it was when you bought it.

And just to be clear, you actually run the EXE file on your windows computer, with your phone connected via USB. Don't do anything crazy like try to put it on the SD card or something, because that won't work.

Edit: If you are still S-Off after running the tool, and need to S-On, read post 27 of this thread BEFORE you unroot with the stock ROM.

Ive been thinking of doing the same thing. I have s-off. Is there anyway to have root on the stock rom?

Not as of yet. The only way it's accomplished so far is with the downgrade. There are developers working on a way for that to be accomplished soon though, I'm sure.

Would there be any way to tell there is s-off for warranty purposes? Can that be turned off?

It's just the equivalent to an odin for captivated.

Apparently there is a way to root the stock rom. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957901

Budco, if you downgraded, you can get root - the hard part is done. Come back to the IRC channel and be patient. When you were there there was a ton of activity.

I'm trying to return to stock after the "stock with root" rom, due to my wifi not working. I despite having a fully charged batter, the ruu errors saying that my batter is less than 30%.

any suggestions?

Use CWM to wipe battery stats. That may help.
