Unroot Motorola Droid?

[bb0bbby]

Does anyone have the Sholes file from above? It appears that the link is broken. I'm unable to update to 2.1 because of root

Hello, My Name is Dan and I just recently purchased a Droid off of ebay. It has a Root of Ultimate Droid V9. I have absolutely no reason to have a rooted droid, and even if I did I don't think I would want it to be this sort. I was wondering if anyone could help me unroot it. I have looked on YouTube, but I don't know if those will work for mine because I don't have the same OS as the one they are uninstalling. Any help would be great. Thank You!!!

Probably the easiest way to root/unroot.. I personally don't use it, but I was keeping up with a discussion about it.

I thought there was some namecalling going on and apologies were made.. Nah.. Guess it was only my imagination..

Heres my guide

Now let the fun begin. This will essentially be the same as the original poster's video only with the download that you did in step 2 above and additional step.

1. Turn your ROOTED DROID on if its not, plug and mount it from within windows.(esentially click the usb connection ongoing operation and "Select to copy...")
2. Push the update.zip to your phone.
3. Unmount and unplug your phone.
4. Open the Terminal Emulator from the prep step 1. (I found that a few did FC's and tried 3 before one worked).
5. When the Terminal Emulator is up type the following each on a line: (note if you are not familiar with Linux shell commands I suggest you open this in something that will show you spaces)
   

   su
   mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
   cd /system/app
   rm Superuser.apk
   mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
   sync
   reboot

6. This will remove the Superuser.apk and reboot your phone.
7. When your phone reboots ensure that the Superuser application is gone from the application tray.
8. Turn off your DROID.
9. Slide open the QWERTY key board, press and hold the X key while powering on.
10. When the triangle appears press volume up and the camera buttons together and a menu will appear.
11. Select "apply sdcard:update.zip" from the menu by following the directions.
12. Your phone will show some statuses and eventually the menu will re-appear (like when you rooted). Select reboot phone.

Congratulations you just removed the Superuser application and un-rooted your phone. You can verify that the ninja is gone, and that when you connect to the terminal emulator su access is denied. Hope this helps.

Removal of SuperUser App was succesful but..
@ step 9, holding on to X during powerup brings me back to SPRecovery, not the triangle exclamation.
then when attempting to apply the update.zip, i get an update error and it gets aborted.

for those getting the same problem, here is how i eventually finished UnRooting.

**both links offer the same Unroot process, just a difference in obtaining the OS version. Personally tested 2.0.1 to work.

good luck w the unroot guys.
