If for some reason you cannot get ADB access to your device, can't run windows, or there is physical damage to your USB ports, this is a guide showing how to un-root from only using the SD card.
Method ONE
***Overwrites ALL data on phone***
This method grabs
From Flipzmode's 1.56 RUU
This works in almost all situations, unless you ran the 2.1 test RUU, which updates your HBoot to 1.47. Stock HBoot is 1.41.
Many many thanks to johnsongrantr for his method.
Method TWO
only if Method ONE fails. much longer/more complicated process
Files needed:
Flashrec 1.13.apk (133 KB)
Desktop Download Link
Mobile Download Link
No Root Nandroid Backup (93.14 MB)< (SW Version 1.56, IE 1st OTA update)
Desktop Download Link
Mobile Download Link
^Stock Recovery Image^ (5 MB)
Desktop Download Link
Mobile Download Link
Original radio update 1.04 (THANKS FLIPZ!!!) Link
***NOTE*** Radio updating is one of the only risky behaviors that you can engage in with your phone Possible Bricking alert. ONLY flash this if you have previously updated your radio with an update.zip. Just flashing ROMs doesn't change your radio.
**I take no responsibility for bricking of any sort, but it worked for me**
