I'm about to root my Hero for the first time but I want to know how to go back to factory default if I ever have to take it in to get fixed? The furthest I'm going to go is gain root access so I can turn it into a hot spot.
The easiest way would be to use the forum search. It will bring you your answers.

I used universal androot, it supposedly has a one-click unroot feature, or you could always run the RUU.
Regardless, I doubt you'll ever go back to stock. I, too, rooted only for wifi tether then I realized how much better custom roms were. Fast forward a few months and I'm running gingerbread and you couldn't pay me to go back to stock.

No offense to anyone here, but I cant even fiddle with his phone for more than 30 seconds before I get frustrated by it's sluggishness and just hand it back to him. It's phones like that that prevented me from buying an Android phone for so long, but now I have the Evo and love it.
So, what can I do to help him out here? It's fully updated. Mostly I'd want to look into some sort of overclock and removing the sprint bloatware. Nothing fancy, just something to make it more functional.
First and foremost you need to root the phone using universal androot or z4 one click root.
Get root explorer to remove the bloatware. Once it is installed open up root explorer navigate to data/FLEX and remove bloatware.
Then you can start speeding up the phone using sysctl config app in the market. We have a thread with recommended settings floating around here somewhere. VM Heap tool and BladeBuddy to turn off stagefright, you can also use apps like SD speed increase to gain a lil speed from your sd card. After doing all of that and dialing the settings in the phone should run like a dream.
Just don't brick it. We will not take liability in the case that the phone no longer functions properly or if the battery blows up or any thing that happens from modifying the phone.
Now before you go buck wild with your dad's phone please read more about rooting and sysctl but first question is, cricket or sprint?

I never had issues with the Zio mine was great on speed an UI, rootedfrom day one. I got a semi bricked one for free im trying to flash it back as it out performs the Optius...though nothing seems to work. Ive tried booting it at least 4-5 ways. Ive used original rom, custom rom, ive tried pushing the images for boot through usb as well. Anyone got any ideas? Id love make some some custom mods for it.

Please tell me you arent trying to push the roms / themes from here on XDA. They are cricket images and wont work on sprint.
Aside from that, you may need to get someone with a working sprint zio and try to perform a nand backup from a fresh hard reset that you can hopefully restore. I dont even know if CWM recovery will work for sprint but read the thread here and give it a shot to see if it boots.
My Zio is a cricket its NOT a Sprint...

I dont think there are any stock 1.6 img files anywhere around here. Just out of curiosity why the hell would you want the stock 1.6 img anyway??
I have 1.6 images

But I promise you if it's cricket, flash the openzio rom once spz includes the kernel.
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
OK, so the prob with this Zio is the last owner attempted to do the 2.2 over the air update and it failed, causing it to not boot right, then a Cricket Rep. Reloaded the OS and now it won't go passed the green droid at original start screen. Sure hope that kernel arrives soon. Thanks for all the help I appreciate it!
Sent from my LG-LW690 using XDA Premium App
Have you tried erasing everything in fastboot and flashing imgs in fastboot?
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
Everything is off it, I assume since the OS was reloaded it has no root, this is my first time with a difficult phone too.I have ODIN if someone would be willing to walk me through that process I'd be VERY MUCH appreciative, it's possible I've over complicated this in my head, if it has no root am I skrewed? PC won't recognize it in usb, and I'm new to adb so getting files to it is tricky for a rookie like me ={
Sent from my LG-LW690 using XDA Premium App
Scrapped that zio...even ODIN didn't help...trading that zio and this LG for an out the box brand new Droid Incredible...coming completely set up rooted,backed up,and with a tested custom ROM optimized for speed and performance! Thanks to all the awesome ppl who helped me try and get that Zio going ^_^
Sent from my LG-LW690 using XDA Premium App
Good luck with the new phone... sorry that the Zio is too complicated to use, unfortunately we only have a few devs around here... the incredible has plenty of support and everything will be easy. If you have trouble with that phone it will be user error.

i think something wrong with your browser. Please check again
For some reason, when i tried to launch hawx and Asphalt 5, they immediately FC on me (i think NFS does the same thing), could it be because I have data2ext?

That's odd... I have 3rd Sense with data2ext and I can run NFS just fine... haven't tried the other ones since I'm downloading them with EDGE so I'm going to wait til I have 3G is so that I can download

I just wiped my phone and reflashed CM7 and data2ext, gonna give it another try, it might have something to do with the new CM kernel I flashed a day ago.
edit: nvm, gonna flash 3rdSense since CM7 doesn't support NFS.
Will the Gingerbreak apk work on the Revolution? Thinking about taking a shot at it, since the pc is down. Any advice or confirmation is appreciated.

Come on guys, 107 people have viewed this post and no one has an answer??

Would you rather have 107 people saying nope, no idea, or would you like your thread relatively clean so that when the person with the answer replies, you don't have to sort through 100 pages of people who didn't have the answer. I think gingerbreak is the exploit that super1click uses to root the revolution though, so it is at least possible you can get it to work. Let us know how it goes for you, you may not be the only one wondering...
I used super1click and it worked fine with me if the gingerbreak apk is the same exploit I'm sure it will work and the cubed have a post here about plugging in hiss usb and did something simple and unplugged it and had it rooted so I'm sure its fairly easy to root

I used S1C on my revo... and I'm pretty sure it defaulted to PSNeuter. Just read through some of the rooting threads... I'm sure these questions are already answered elsewhere.
Hey guys, to reiterate, l don't have a pc to use. I was wondering if there was an APK download that would work. You can use the Gingerbreak APK to root the Droid X2, so l was curious if it would work on the Revolution. It does NOT seem to work. It runs and keeps spinning, but after 15 minutes of waiting I let it go. Z4root is also non functional on the LG Revolution. I have tried both without results. Do any other options like UnRevoked or Universal Androot work? Or are there any other APK files that may?

Just got a notification to update to ZV8 on my GVolted revo. Anyone else seen this or know what is updating? I cancelled it until I found out more about it. Verizon's Revolution support site only mentions zv7.

Yup, just got the notice. Am on GV2.0 also.
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
I was tempted to let the update go through to see what it did, but I'm currently driving from San Francisco to yuma, AZ and need my phone for navigation/music purposes and didn't want to kill my phone for the rest of my trip if something went wrong.
I am curious to know what it does though, if anyone's brave enough to risk losing root, or updates by accident

LG revo update
Found this:

any way to stop besides deferring?
Don't update unless you put stock recovery back on other wise it will fail then you are going to see if you can get root again hopefully, one of the newer exploits for the esteem/spectrum might help with this.

Wifes phone updated and radio, kernal, build #, and sw version changed. It just said phone enhancements so im not sure what yet...lol. Tried mine for the hell of it and downloaded fine but wouldnt install due to clockwork, so i just rebooted and all is same as it was. Will switch recoveries later and try again.

Edit: kernal did not change but it is android 2.3.6 now
