Hi,

Create a small problem for myself.
Started with 1.26.xxx (aussie version on Vodafone).
Unlocked, installed CWM, Rooted and put SuperSU on it.
Then backed up using CWM. (including SuperSU).
Installed ARHD 5.x?? I think.
Try to go back to original but only managed to recover to 1.26.xxx incl SuperSU.
Relocked.
Updated via 1.28.xxx to 1.29.xxx via OTA (including revert to associated boot.img).
Now my damn (insert any number of swearwords) sensor chip is bust.
All associated sensor functions are dead.
(First had to calibrate to get it working, now altogether dead).
Tried even factory reset, but that only goes back to 1.29.xxx Including SuperSU for some reason.

Here is my problem: I want to back to point of purchase an claim statutory warranty (different rules here from manufacturers warranty).
But I am concerned with SuperSU on it they might complain and not touch it.

How do I get back to any pure original Rom (no SuperSU)?
Tried RUU, bit was worn version.
My current ROM states:
Android 4.0.3
Software: 1.29.862.11 (Vodafone Australia I think, I am with VF Australia)

Cheers and Thanks.
PS: Tried googling, but flooded with irrelevant stuff.

This gave me cancer..

Relocking your bootloader then running the correct RUU is your best bet any day.
Uninstalling superuser may leace other relevant apps inside like busybox etc.

on xda for android and mistyping like a boss

Update:
Seem to have fixed it.

1. unlocked again
2. Flashed CWM
3. Installed SuperSU via CWM
4. Removed SuperSU from within itself
5. Installed 1.29.401.11 Recovery
6. Reapplied OEM lock.

See how we go with my warranty claim re sensor chip.

Cheers
