*Easiest* way to get back to stock (No root, no busybox)

Use SMUpdater, choose "Stock 2.0.1 (no root)" at the ROM choices, and let it do its magic!

To remove boot animations, remove /data/local/bootanimation.zip

(NOTE: This does not wipe /data, so your settings will remain in tact)

 

will u lose all your apps

 

No, this does not touch /data

 

Thanks a lot Berzerker. Couldn't get any easier than that!

 

Am I the only one who doesn't want to go back to stock? I mean, I put all this time into getting my phone with 2.1 apps, (I don't use the sholes rom, btw), sprecovery, wifi tethering, etc, etc. Why abandon all that just for 2.1? Isn't that the point to being rooted? Once the 2.1 is out, then I'll be able to apply the 2.1 update when I want.

/endrant

 

No you're not, but there are a lot who do (in case they need to return the phone for some reason, or another).

 

worked perfect as far as i can see :icon_ banana:

 

how long would it take to root 2.1 update that you could just apply as update.zip that wont lose root? like the 2.0.1 thats on here now. just was a curious thought i had.

 

It can be rooted the same way that you rooted it the first time.

 

Just to make sure, does this also remove sprecovery and unblock OTA updates? I know it says "completely back to stock" but I did not see those things mentioned.

 

Yes, that is what completely means :tongue: wow deja vu.

 

Heh, sorry for the ignorance but I just wanted to be sure before I did it. Thanks!

 

Do the stock apps need to be restored before you do this?

 

Yeah, what about stock apps... and also what about Superuser Permissions app?

 

This wipes system and boot, and restores the recovery partition on a reboot, so you will be *com*plete*ly* back to stock after.
