I want to take it in for a warranty exchange. but i'm not finding a straight forward post on how to unroot my device and I guess " hide the unlock reboot loader". I want to know all necessary steps i need to take before returning it.

So if anyone has done this. I guess a link or something would be great. I just see so much info it kind of throws me off. Mixed reviews as well.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew5025:
RSD. Remember to choose the

CORRECT

one. If you have no idea, I suggest you to read up more before attempting it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sass86:
Rsd means sbf file or firmware. Pzyduck has a post + I think its a stickie in the development section. If you upgraded to gingerbread 2.3.4 via OTA update, then only flash 4.5.91. If not then the froyo ones should not brick your phone because your fuse was not burned. By flashing them in conceals the unlocked text on boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
The company I work for is a direct partner with Google. They were in our office today for a quarterly update. While they were here they gave a free unlocked Galaxy Nexus to the client leads of the top 3 (highest ad spend) accounts. Luckily I was one of the 3.

I am coming from the Samsung Galaxy S2. Right now I have to say that I am surprised at how similar the two phones actually are. But I am loving the full ICS experience found on the Nexus.

Anyway, just wanted to share my story. I'm excited to see how the development section for this phone turns out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JLishere:
You got the GSM version (with original packaging).

Enjoy it! It's a great device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dahotz:
congratz dude!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enumBoss:
Are you in the US? If so, I'm surprised they gave you the GSM one. But it's awesome. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
Thanks guys! I'm pretty excited.

Yeah, I live in Denver. It's funny you said that. One of the guys who won one is on Verizon and he tried to activate it with them. Verizon said it wouldn't work on their network. He asked Google if he could swap his unlocked GN for a Verizon GN and they told him they didn't have any with them or at headquarters.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I'm sure he could sell it and pocket the money or buy a vzw GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
Agreed. He is debating his options over the weekend. I think it's funny considering he can't use his GN because he is on Verizon. Ironic...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
Interesting. I just texted my coworker to get in contact with one of our reps at the Mountain View location to see if they can swap it out. The reps that visited us were 'positive' they didn't have any Verizon version on hand.

Haha I've actually acquired about 10 of them over the past couple of years. Unfortunately, this is my favorite one to date. I have a few black ones and red ones I don't wear if anyone wants them. One medium and the rest are larges.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDM123:
I actually have a LTE version that I want to swap for a GSM one. I have T-Mobile and signing up for a Verizon plan would cost me over $20 a month extra. PM'ing you. I'm still debating going with Verizon, if only to keep the 32GB of space.

If you notice the GNex is actually still in the box. That phone off to the side is a different model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Whyt_e:
wasnt paying that much attention
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grajasekar:
Damn Verizon Nexus that I got free.

I received a free Galaxy Nexus too (this was from Letstalk who were conducting a scavenger hunt kinda giveaway along with Verizon). Sadly it's the Verizon version and I can't afford to go to Verizon (i'm a poor grad student on T-Mobile with my Nexus S).

Looking for someone to swap a GSM phone with :( cos I can use the GSM phone on my current plan. Was all hyped when I received the package but I've kept it unopened because I know I can't afford to get a Verizon connection. Took a whole bunch of pictures of the phone in it's packaging yesterday but that's all I've done with the phone, not even opened the battery's packing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Sounds like you star-crossed gadget lovers have a trade to make.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] civicsisedan:
I'll take a shirt.... :)

Lol pm me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
I'll take a large if you don't mind. Tell me what usps shipping costs and I'll PayPal you it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Phone to the side is a T-Mobile Galaxy S II
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georges023:
I'd love a t-shirt (large) too if you don't mind! PM me with USPS costs + email and I'll paypal it to you.

P.S: I'm jealous, but I just bought mine 2 days ago so I'm happy! ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grajasekar:
Lol, if only someone would be willing to trade. Also have to make a change to my location to Atlanta. (Georgia Tech). Been a while since I looked at anything on XDA other than the Android Dev section of the Nexus S forums.

So any of you unused GSM galaxy nexus guys with a new phone wanna trade for this unused unopened piece? Can even provide the pictures of me on Facebook with the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grajasekar:
Ah well no one's replying :(

Guess I'm gonna keep this Verizon phone inactive for a looooong time :| Damn I wish I had a GSM variant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] htowngator:
Easy solution: sell it, buy a verizon version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grajasekar:
Wait so how much would a Verizon (no-contract) version go for on eBay?

I won't exactly get full price for it at $650 now if I try to sell it will I?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] htowngator:
Best bet is Swappa over ebay at that price, especially with a brand new Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamHart612:
Sweet ! Not surprised it was the GSM model, ie not the USA bastard child model ;) Obviously the international model would be the more pushed than one that only works on Verizon. In the last month, I've used three different sim cards on three different continents :) this phone travels well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grajasekar:
Thanks, I'll check out Swappa if there's no reply from anyone. But ain't eBay as effective as Swappa / better known?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
Yeah, the phone next to the box is my Galaxy S2. It's now become the backup phone for use when snowboarding or doing anything that has a high risk of damaging the phone.

...

I've received a few PMs about the Google shirts I have. I probably shouldn't have offered to give them away since I do wear them on random occasions. However, next time we get a box of Google stuff I will make sure to grab a few extras for you guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grajasekar:
A Galaxy S2 for a 'backup' :O ... haha my Nexus S is my main phone with an old N79 from Nokia for a backup in case I get robbed on the streets of Atlanta. :P

Please do reply to my PM if you get the time to though :(

And I'm gonna list my G-Nex (still not switched it on or opened the packaging) on eBay and Swappa from the first week of January.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Won't you just post this in the Market Place:

[Swap/Trade] Galaxy Nexus LTE for GSM

There were lots of guys who COULD have used the LTE version but couldn't hold out and got the GSM version, which they may be willing to swap with a Verizon model for service, LTE, or extended battery.

I'd rather do business with some people on XDA then complete strangers. Plus a swap would be easier then selling/rebuying.

And for the thread: My work bought my Galaxy Nexus. I went into Verizon to upgrade my 2yr old Blackberry. Our Verizon account manager just quit my company, thus the President is handling it ATM. Before we called him to authorized the upgrade, the Verizon sales associate asked if I was paying out of pocket or charging to the account. I said, "Good question, ask the President when you talk to him".

I walked away. Came back and the guy said I was allowed to "Get everything I need".

I said I also wanted an iPad2 (half jokingly).

Left with the Nexus, extended battery, and screen protectors without a dime out of pocket. I guess Santa's been watching me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deekjx:
Congrats!!! I wanted mine so bad I payed the 299 instead of getting it from let's talk for 174.99.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tintinbeebee:
I'm selling my T-Moblie/ATT version...any takers? Also a gift from a company PM me pelase
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
Hey man. Sorry for the delay. I finally spoke with my colleague yesterday about swapping his phone. He said he actually gave it to his Dad as a christmas gift. I told him he could just swap for one that he can use himself but he said he already mailed it home.

I hope you do get someone to swap with you though. I'm sure you will find someone who will do it.

Oh and the Galaxy S2 is actually going to be put to use quite a bit. It's going to be the phone I use when I'm snowboarding so I don't risk damaging the Nexus. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grajasekar:
Thanks. I've never used the Marketplace section before, but I'll give it a shot. Thing about a swap is I won't know whether the other guy actually has a piece and is actually sending it to me (I guess the other person involved in the swap has the same problem right?) as against a Paypal payment which can be reversed if the seller doesn't ship.

Oh that's ok. Guess I'll have to find someone else to swap with. Thing I'm most worried about is that I'll end up having to swap a brand new flawless piece with a scratched up older one that someone might send me if I do a swap for a GSM model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the7thson:
Could you confirm that you have the 16gig version? I'm only asking in case there is evidence of existence of a 32gig GSM version.

PS - I live in Denver too, would love to take this off your hands in case you decide you want to hold on to your S2 :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meda-77:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negrobembon:
Widgetlocker or lockbot pro, but they replace the stock one with a fully customizable one
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meda-77:
Yeah, I tried those but seem to prefer the stock one. I changed the clock font but some fonts are too close or too far from the date.

But thanks ...

If u have cwm it won't flash. U have to flash a pre rooted zip that cwm friendly or go all the way back to stock.

The CM wiki will list available service codes to type into your dialer. I believe there is one that will do what you are asking.
[Off-topic] BriK94:
My MyTouch 3G slide is rooted right now but the touchscreen barely works anymore so I need to send it in to get a new one. However, rooting voids the warranty I believe. If I throw my phone in some water or something then call and say it fell in the toilet will they send me a free replacement phone? Because they can't tell it was rooted?
[Off-topic] Mohawka:
Most the phones I've rooted also have a way to unroot and get security back on then just ruu or your equivalent back to a stock rom and they wont be the wiser
[Off-topic] BriK94:
I would do this but I've having problems. I rooted to CM7 about 2 hours ago and here are the problems:

1. Touch Screen constantly freezing and choosing when it wants to work

2. The notification bar at the top is missing, as well as Terminal app and a few needed apps. With the notification bar missing I can't connect my Phone to my PC

3. ROM Manager isn't allowing me to do a backup (Clockwork Mod)

Usually water damage isn't covered by warranty. Throw it in the microwave for a little while or flash a radio and pull the battery half way through.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patrick848:
I've built CM7 before for a couple devices, but never CM9. I know that to build for a device you have to have it's proprietary files, and you get them by running the script provided. You're supposed to run it on a device that already has CM installed, but since there aren't any builds out yet for the Toro, I couldn't. I ran it anyways on stock, and it looked like it worked (It pulled a bunch of stuff with no errors), but I don't know if it's really safe to build... Did it get all of the files that it needs? Kinda don't want to brick a new phone, or really be a guinea pig if it isn't necessary...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fomustangrd88:
I've flashed my phone plenty of times, but this time I accidentally installed something that screwed it up bad. My phone at first was either stuck on the at&t logo, or if plugged in would be frozen on the battery pre-loader. I needed to get it in download mode to try to re-flash it, but I couldn't even do that. After a million trys I finally bought a usb jig which helped me get into download mode, but now my computer does not recognize my phone as a device when I run ADB DEVICES under the android sdk.

I'm assuing since adb devices comes up with nothing under list of devices attached is why odin3 isn't working. When I try to run it all I get is various messages such as the following and my phone either gets stuck on the downloading screen, or I get a blue screen.

<ID:0/004> Added!!

<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> Set PIT file..

<ID:0/004> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

Did u read this thread ?? ---- Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help

---- See this section when u get to that thread...

UNIVERSAL FIRST STEPS FOR CONNECTION ISSUES

-- Hopefully that will help ya.

.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fomustangrd88:
Thanks. Yes I did read that thread and that's what helped me get ODIN to see my phone, but where I'm confused is ODIN is showing 0:[COM4], but when I run ADB DEVICES in CMD PROMPT it doesn't list my IMEI number for a device being shown. Also, ODIN constantly gets stuck on different steps and either my screen will turn either all green, blue, purple, etc, or my screen just turns black. I'm closer than I was the other day since I bought the USB jig, but I am stuck at a point now where I can't tell if there is hope or not!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
The "adb devices" command won't show ur device if u r in Download Mode. And if Odin is seeing ur phone (com port lit up), then it still sounds like u need to reboot ur computer, right click and run Odin as administrator, connect the usb end or ur cable to the a usb port on the back of the desktop computer or 1st usb port on laptop, then connect micro usb end to ur phone. If that doesn't work try a differnent port. If that doesn't work try a different cable (sometimes the one u think is good because u just used it the other day...will be bad). And in ur situation right now, I would not be flashing something with Bootloaders in it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fomustangrd88:
Thanks. Didn't know that about adb devices. I've tried various ports and installing and uninstalling drivers, but anytime Odin starts to work it freezes. I had just went from serpendity to cm7 and then I accidentally loaded an old flash from February so I don't know what was on the phone when it bricked. What tools exactly should I be using and get it from there?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Which Odin and Firmware are u trying to use. And do you have the .pit file, because since u went to CM7, u will need to include the .pit file and Repartition.

Here is the .pit file below. Take it out of the .zip and select PIT in Odin and navigate to where u put it on ur PC and select it. Then the repartition box should be automatically checked. Include this .pit file with ur other Stock firmware u r trying to flash (gingerbread i presume. This is a .pit that came with the kf1 i897 gb firmware).

Which Serendipity were u running. That will let u know what Bootloaders u have, either Gingerbread or not.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fomustangrd88:
I had serpendity 6.4 on it and the android version was 2.2 and the cm7 was 2.3.7.

I just don't know what the correct files I need with which Odin so it works right!

Since u were on froyo, check out the link in my sig to the i897uckb1.

I am out away from my laptop right now, but in that thread should be everything u need, but u need a froyo .pit file not the one i had attached. There may be one attached in that kb1 thread. U definately need to repartition when u flash though. And that should get u straightened out.

I've had a similar problem, though never needed a jig. For me, it was definitely the USB port I was using. I was able to get it on maybe the fourth attempt on the bad port.

Try using the drivers and one click from this thread to take you back to stock http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Just select to install the CM7

again

through the CWM Recovery. You may have to format system, wipe data/factory reset in cwm first. Then after it installs and goes back into cwm recovery, just select reboot.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fomustangrd88:
You mean just run the update.zip file again? If that's what you meant I did that and wiped/formatted like you said, but it still just boots back into cwm. Obviously I am doing something wrong.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Reinstall cyanogenmod 7.1 and after it installs it may boot back into recovery. If it does just select the reboot system now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fomustangrd88:
I know this may be a dumb question, but when you say reinstall it isn't that the same as going to install zip from sdcard and running the update.zip file and then reboot system now? If so, I have done that and it doesn't work. What could I be doing wrong? Did I flash something wrong?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
U have got to choose the Cyanogenmod 7.1 zip because that is what u r trying to install. Do not reinstall the "update.zip" again.
