link for simple unroot (pc method)?

[efexay]

Anyone know the link for line instructions to unroot D2? We did the simple PC method on XDA. Was a few lines of linux. Want to just unroot now for a warranty turn in. Thanks.

I used this from the sticky.

- open your trusty terminal app
- you should see a $ symbol, now do the following
- su
- now you should see a # symbol
- mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
- rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
- rm /system/bin/su
* rm /system/bin/busybox
- mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
- reboot your phone. Toda, no more root

keep getting:

$ su
su
Permission denied

been so long since I rooted a phone can't remember what the right combination was to get in there. it took many tries of turning debugging on/off trying different usb connection mode. man, I' just trying to unroot this for a friend who's camera is busted.

If su isn't working, what makes you think it's rooted?

 

[efexay]

Because I was the one that rooted it like a month ago and the superuser app is there and I just unistalled wireless tether which was his only root app that I installed.

Getting permission denied on the su implies that it is not rooted.

I saw a thread about removing the superuser icon after removing root access. You could search for that to see how it turned out.

 

[efexay]

what folder should I cd to first? tools right?

 

[pool_shark]

Using the no PC method there is no tools folder. I don't know what method you used to root. The no PC method is the only one I've used.

pool_shark is correct, if you type su and get permission denied, you are not rooted any more.

I know pool_shark does not like to use the computer, but in this case, if this happened to me, I would plug the phone into the computer go into PC Mode:
adb devices
ya see your phone then
adb shell
if you get $ prompt you are not rooted.
But try: (you can do stuff on computer that you can not in the emulator)
cd /system/bin
ls -l su
if you get the permissions and file size, then the file must have been corrupted. Then
rm su
rm busybox
cd /system/app
rm superuser.apk
and you will be unrooted. Turn your phone off and then back on.

if you type ls -l su and get a "file not found" then type ls -l busybox. if it is there, type rm busybox and then cd /system/app, rm superuser.apk. Turn you phone off then back on.

Then I would be scratching my head wondering how I got unrooted and not know it which would cause me to use my bootstrapper to restore my phone or flash the sbf to make sure I fixed it.

Still trying to unroot. Suggestions?

[efexay]

how do i get the system in read write mode? that seems to be the problem?

 

[pool_shark]

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

You can't do it without root.

 

[chrstdvd]

Did you get it yet?

 

[efexay]

no. he had to go back in the field.

if the superuser (ninja) icon is on there, and it had permissions for wireless tether(root dependent) before I cleared it out, doesn't that mean the phone is rooted? you guys keep saying it's not but just because I'm not getting read/write access.

 

[pool_shark]

You can still have the ninja even after removing root.

The fact that you cannot su says you are not rooted. You don't need write access to su you need su to have write access.
