Unroot

[g2uzer]

I'm RMA my nexus so I tried to flash stock thru wugfresh kit but it gets stuck and won't do it . so I remember I did a back up as soon as I rooted my phone so I restored that . I unrooted thru the superuser app its self , I went thru advance options on the root kit and flashed stock recovery and then relocked my phone.
My question is if that's enough to send it back? Will they be able to tell I rooted ? After I relocked it it said it reset the flag as well so I guess that's good .

The reason I use tool kits because its easier and I'm nervous to try it without a tool kit.

Thanks

Not sure why it would t let me edit...


Also can I use my back up that I did with the new phone that's coming in?

If you're on stock rom, kernel, recovery with a locked bootloader and "false" tamper flag, you're good to go!

Can't help you out with the toolkit problem as I don't use them and I feel it does more bad then good! :silly: You yourself aren't able to make out what part went wrong with wug's toolkit whereas if you have downloaded the stock factory images and did it manually, we could help you out with the error on that particular step!

Yes, you can but make sure you don't restore the EFS.. If you do. Then your new phone is SCREWED! That's why I never recommend anyone restoring backups of different phones!

I went I to recovery and it's the little android with the triangle so I'm sure that's stock correct ? And here's a pic of the phone info ,im thinking its stock also
OK I'll won't restore it just to be sure. Thanks for the help .
And yes it said something about resetting tamper flag when I relocked boot loader and now it won't show a lock when I boot up so its locked now.

Yes, everything looks peachy!

If you're not sure whether the tamper flag is reset or not.. Head over to bootloader and use this command : fastboot oem device-info
If the tamper flag is set to "true" then you haven't reset it correctly. If it's "false" then it's all good!

BTW, why are you RMA'ing the device?

Hey bro in the near future try not to use tookits for toying around for with these phones!! "Nexus" It's a lot easier to figure things out the fastboot way and cmds. As the other user stated they do more harm than good:silly: Good luck with ur RMA:good:

Yeah I need to learn how to do it that way. I'm more of a visual learner so I have to look up a video on how to do it. I have read it but still nervous of trying it

Trust me when you learn this way it's a lot fun.. And in the process you come to know a lot about your phone:good: It's fun flashing things! But you need to know what your flashing and what it's doing on your phone..
