I have arhd Rom which is perfect for me as it has all the bloat stuff removed, but I need an unrooted version so that my work email client and Sky Go will run. Is there a way to completely unroot? I tried removing superuser, busybox and Su but Sky Go and work email still complain that my phone is rooted ? Thanks for any guidance.

Ultimately you need to install a stock RUU/ROM.zip. What you have to do before that depends on if you have S-OFF via Revolutionary or an unlocked HBOOT.

But I don't want a stock Rom, and I don't want to loose CWM recovery either, I just want to unroot my customised Rom, is it possible ?

Nope. I did tried to unroot (unproper) by deleting the superuser apks in /system/app. I did that on my friend's galaxy ace. But his phone is stock.Try deleting /system/bin/sh too.

Now I just bought an Incredible S and I want to root it and install a custom ROM but it seems as though HTC seems to hate devs and there are tons of crap blocking it so I was wondering how exactly do I root it?

There are multiple guides on XDA. I made one myself its in my sig
Compared to other phones, this phone is actually quite the headache to root and achieve S-OFF

Power off the phone and then hold the Volume Down key while pressing the Power button. This will boot you into the bootloader screen which lists the HBOOT version, the lock status and the radio version.

This is a very reliable guide. I used it first before achieving S-OFF. I would recommend S-OFF over just root though. Allows you to flash kernels, radios, splash screen, anything.
S-off -> root -> custom rom

errr... root and s-off are entirely different things. I looked at this thread in phandroid forums, and according to it, root just gives you superuser permissions. It gives you the ability to flash things to your phone, custom ROMs. However, when you root your phone, the Radio NVRAM section of the phone prevents you from completely overwriting system partition or at least from changing it. With S-OFF, you flash a custom HBOOT which gives you the ability to overwrite this system partition or in other words, literally do whatever you want to your phone.
I know. Not all of the custom rom require s-off. I suggest to him to s-off -> root -> the install custom rom. Forgot to put i suggest

Hi guys
I was wondering if I can remove the bloatwares with titanium backup Permanently with s-off. As with s-on all the bloatwares restore once I restart the phone.
These bloatwares are bothering me. But I wanna keep the stock Rom.
Thank you

Search for Rom cleaner ver1.4
that will do it without S off
You don't need s-off, just root. Select in TB and tap Uninstall.

You apparently don't have /system r/w access. What rom and firmware are you on?
Everything stock. I only have root
Ok I'm done trying. I will just flash viperone or maximumhd as I like Rom that offers ota updates
Thx

The stock kernel has system write protection enabled. Flash flar2's bulletproof kernel and then titanium will work.

You could either factory reset, or, depending on the method you used, you could unroot through the SU app itself.
I think super one click would work... but flashing the stock rom would be the best solutuon.... dont forget to press thanks if i helped.... :thumbup:

So I recently rooted my Tmobile HTC One in order to remove some bloatware that I don't want. I don't really feel the need for a custom ROM with this phone like I have with past phones, so I'm running stock, just rooted.. However, I don't use Facebook and there are a number of other things (tmobile account bs and lookout security) that I don't want on the device. I used Ti backup to uninstall these applications, but they reappear after a reboot.
I have never had this problem in the past. Am I missing a step to keep these apps from coming back?
Thanks

you need a kernel with write protection disabled; so either a custom kernel for your version or the wp mod somewhere around. don't know where it is, otherwise i would have put the link for you.

I'm pretty sure you're s-on. Search for s-off, you'll find plenty of information about that. Unfortunately, I think you cannot s-off if you have 4.2 or newer.

OK. Can you tell me what the kernal actually is and does? I'm new to all this. I have rooted and flashed custom Rom.just need s-off now.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
Its kind of like the central core, all software and controls are built around it, it has control over everything that happens in the OS basically, kernel is boss.
---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------
here's a fairly good explanation: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/31632/what-is-the-linux-kernel-and-what-does-it-do/
OK so if I flashed a new kernal. Is it way to do? All I want is to turn s-off.
I have heard the camera doesn't work after on some?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
Just flash a kernel like you do with a rom, copy it to your internal storage then enter recovery and flash it, then try and s-off again with that kernel installed, if you don't like the kernel, like the battery drain is too high for instance then try a different one.
Will the kernal I install. Will it wipe my phone or change anything that's on my phone like custom Rom etc?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
No, a custom kernel will just enable some features you don't have now, like double tap the screen to wake and sleep, or swipe to wake or sleep, allow you to overclock etc, select which features you want during install.
If your not sure of anything, just select recommended or stock for everything during install, you can flash it multiple times and experiment each time with different settings.
Just one question for you however, if you don't know anything about flashing kernels etc, why do you possible want S-OFF, its very dangerous for someone with little or no knowledge and very easy to brick you phone, S-ON stops you flashing wrong software which may brick your phone, S-OFF relies on you knowing what you are doing, if its wrong with S-OFF, it will still flash and you will have a dead phone.
OK I understand. Some roms I want say they require s-off. Will they still work with s-on then?

OIC, as far as I know its only if you want to convert your phone to a Google Edition HTC One that you need S-OFF
So even if the Rom says s-off will the Rom work?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
No, If the rom requires S-OFF then you will need to be S-OFF.
Which Rom are talking about here ?
I was looking at sky dragon google play edition. Unless you can recommend a good rom for me?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
Yes you will need S-OFF for that, im using viper one, I love it and loads of themes and tweaks available for it.
I tried that. Has loads but to many I think lol. If I was too re flash.can I go straight over the top with recovery and not wipe data?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
Its always advised to wipe data if you are going to a different rom
