[urgent] Unroot/Restore G1 back to factory, help needed!

I have 2 G1's and I think it's the best phone ever
But I have to sell 1, so I put it online and tonight a person will come and buy it.
Problem is: I need to unroot it, and restore to the original Firmware.
How can I do this?
Also, before I downloaded and applied a newer radio version. Do I need to revert to a certain radio version that came with the original G1?? Or does it not matter?
I never changed the SPL or something, only rooted (goldcard method)+enomther Rom.
Please tell me which files I need, I will be extremely grateful!
My proposed method is: download an original, unrooted G1 firmware, and apply that through the recovery menu. Also Format the memory card, do a complete wipe and factory restore and afterwards; reboot again.

will that be sufficient?
I cannot have the person returning the phone because it is crashing like a motherf-...

Those steps should work just fine.
The phone will probably still have root, but if the customer doesn't need it, they'll never notice.

Lol. Man. Through Recovery? That should work just fine?

There, man. I helped you get up, and I trust you can walk by yourself.
Oh, no you're not going to do this through recovery and no you won't have root anymore.

well mate i got a UK t-mobile G1 and this method work for me like every time....
1st download the original rc7 for uk model and rc29 for usa model..
then go there and manually update ur G1

It did not work as planned, obviously.
You need a goldcard even to unroot it, else it will not let you flash back the original.
But anyway, I flashed back enomthers' the official rom, without any add-on pack. Worked perfectly except for missing dutch onscreen keyboard word-completion/dictionary. But yeah, the person said he did not need that.
I told him I can flash the original back if he wanted to.
Anyway, sold it for 135 euro. Got it originally for 100 euros

[Q] How to Unroot Sprint Hero?

Ive searched through a few forums and read a many posts. Its seems that many people have problems unrooting their phone, whether its using the wrong ruu or something else. & honestly the unrooting process confuses me a little. I would be happy if anyone could tell me the best/right way to unroot a sprint hero. I really want to do this is 1 try. All answers are appreciated...

Run the official Sprint RUU, takes one step to do.

Error 171
While running the ruu i got an error 171 message. It said it couldnt connect to my phone. I used the ruu from the post here because apparently i wont be able to reroot if I use the latest ruu. Can anyone help?

Nvm. I think it happened because i had my brower & word open. I closed them then restarted the process. My phone seems to be working just fine now.

I am about to sell my Hero (anybody interested?) and I want to completely unroot my Hero so that it is exactly how it would be if I never rooted it:
* OTA updates installed and enabled
* No way to boot into recovery
* Completely stock and updated
...like if I was to go buy one at the Sprint store right now. I will just use it completely stock until it is sold.
How would I go about this? Just install the official RUU? Which one should I install and where can I get it?

Just run the latest RUU and it will be back to stock, with no root and recovery.

Active a rooted phone

OK so I have a friend who bought a rooted hero running cyanogen off craigslist. She wants to active it but still keep root and run cyanogen. Will sprint active the phone with just a sense rom on it? I would hate to have to unroot and root again bc the friend lives a while away from me and I won't be able to help her.

Try Flashing a Sense Rom, and then Call the Carrier and see if they could Activate over the phone!
I'm pretty sure they'll let you, because I did it through Sprint!

I just did this yesterday... have the friend flash NFX rom so the dialer command prompts that they will ask you do will work.... then once the data does work on the phone... I'd suggest backing up that ROM for future calls to the provider and since you're there update the local PRL...
then go ahead and flash Cyanogen but make it a fresh flash instead of going back to the one that came with the phone so it will be your info on the phone now.
good luck

How to unroot and get stock rom

Sprint accepted my phone for replacement. The only phone they have for free is Samsung Replenish. I have CyjanogenMod7 installed on my Hero. What I have to do so I can easy and fast remove everything so they can't tell what I used?
I still can't find stock rom.zip so I could just flash it after reboot.
Please help.
Do I need to do anything else beside flashing to rom?

please remove
