"IV. Flash the Recovery Image

1. Remove the battery from your device (if you put it back in).

2. Plug the phone in via USB cable to your computer.

3. Right click OneClickRecoveryFlasher.exe inside the NvFlasher folder inside the file you extracted in section II and select Run As Administrator (if such an option doesn’t exist, just select Open).

4. Once it is done, unplug the device from the USB cable.

5. Now, hold Volume Up and Volume Down (and keep holding them through the next couple of steps).

6. Plug the phone in via USB Cable (with the volume up and volume down still being held).

7. While still holding the volume up and volume down buttons, click on Flash ClockworkMod 3.0.2.7 on your computer.

8. Once it says “S/W Upgrade – Please wait while upgrading…”, you can let go of the volume up and volume down and just wait for it to finish flashing in the command prompt.

9. Once it is done, it’ll say press any key to continue in the command prompt window on the computer. That means it is done, press enter then unplug your device from the computer.

10. Put your battery back in.

11. To boot into recovery mode in the future, simply turn off the phone then turn it back on by holding down Volume Down and Power and keep holding it until you see the word Android in Orange letters.

V. (Optional) Flash a Custom ROM

1. Head to our How To Flash a Custom ROM procedure to begin flashing custom ROMs (like Gingerbread ROMS etc.).

VI. (Optional) Flash Back to Normal Recovery

1. You can follow section IV but click Flash Stock instead of Flash ClockworkMod to get back to a stock recovery image."

this is the way i flashed my phone, i tired different roms but in my opinion the g2x is not really worth rooting, so i want to go back to stock. i did a back up before flashing any new roms,
so my question is if i restore the original back up,follow step IV but then go to "flash stock" instead of Flash ClockworkMod ,will that unroot my phone completely stock? (tmobile wont know that it was ever rooted?)
thanks for the help, i read other unroot methods but not sure if this will do.

I believe that just puts back the default recovery and removers CWM. Looking at the steps you took, you never rooted your phone in the first place. Do you remember using SuperOneClick or another rooting tool? Flashing Recovery!= rooting.

After installing CWM did you immediately make a backup? If so you weren't rooted. The ROMS you installed were but the backup isn't. Just try to install an app that requires root privileges and see if it works. If it does, just download SuperOneClick and click Un-Root.

Sorry, I'm new at rooting and this is first phone I rooted, but yea your right, it won't let me use rooted apps on the first back up I did (stock one) it only let me on the other Roms I installed, so how I get back to completely stock? If I hold power and down volume it takes me to recovery, Thanks for all the help
