http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1340276&postcount=1 is the only one I know of. It's a pre-release device, so many of the tools are not tested / modified for the device yet.
Gordon

How exactly did you get this from the uk and where from?!
lol I'd be very happy if you told me..

Pardon for attempting to thread jacking ... but since we're on the topic of "unlocking" ...
May I ask "Howto" regarding "APP UNLOCKING" on the Kaiser ?? do we still go ahead using the __>> SDA_ApplicationUnlock that's floating around ??
Thanks

Before you unlock your kaiser I would suggest waiting for a kaiser verified unlocking tool to use. I'm kind of new to this community but I think it's better SAFE than sorry when dealing with possibly bricking your phone.

Thank you for the kind advice
I think it quite safe when dealing with APP UNLOCKING ( worse that can happen you can always hard reset.
now, CID/SIM unlocking ( like the thread topic ) is a whole different ball game.
again ... Thanks

For how much ?
Hi Peter,
Congrats on ur new Kaiser, for how much did u get it ?
Thanks,

1) Rooting and unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with sim unlocking. Flashing a custom ROM will NOT sim unlock your phone. Goto a paid for site or speak to your carrier to get sim unlock.
2) There are loads of guides in this forum to root and unlock the T, no need to look under other device forums.
3) Is this a question? I think so for several reasons.....one, I answered it, two, you even said it was a question in your title....guess what, it should be in the QUESTION AND ANSWER section.

Thread moved. Please post your questions here in Q&A in future.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCChDxc2_HE heres what i've found about unroot... but i am not sure in this method will it completely remove root binary and take phone back to warrantyN mode ?

No, but we get sick and tired of people asking the same questions over and over again because they are too lazy to actually put the effort in to searching and reading properly
Also, don't 'bump' your own thread within 24 hours - read the rules if you're not sure why.

That's the whole idea of a Q&A.. With every new (original) question the knowledge database grows. This allows other people to just search through the threads to find their answer. It's actually an easier way to find answers then creating a new thread, since you don't have to wait for reactions and usually the follow up questions are already elaborately discussed..
On topic: I believe some superusers have an option to unroot? And otherwise just reflashing stock is just as easy.

Alright then i renamed the thread. Because my question is about walkaround reflashing and unlocking bootloader.
Is it possible simply to root and unroot without reflashing and unlocking ?

When you root phone your root file is on system partition and you need to format it If you want to remove root.Hard reset don't format partition so that won't work.Update software should work but I am not sure.SuperS have ability to remove itself so if you root your phone with it you can done it fastest way.Also don't be smartass and mock people who are telling you to search for answer before posting topic and asking for help.It I is not polite.After all you are asking for help from us not the way around.

on topic: So i am on latest 4.1.2 if i force the support tool (from LG) will it reflash the phone with stock frimware after root ?
As i remember i read somewhere that actually it is possible to use some kind of "upgrade recovery" option with this tool which reflash phone.
off topic: Im not playing it smartass i've searched and couldn't find what i need to know. then i posted this thread.
So maybe someone should check if a thread exist actually without beign too lazy. before saying that he's sick of people.
And also renamed my thread to be more suitable to people who will be searching.

You did NOT search!! Put the word "unroot" into Q&A forum search box and you get 60 hits, at least 5 of which on the first page give the answer.

simon its too late mate... i renamed my thread alredy and i think you did not read that its about walkaound flashing and unlocking.

@tuncay93 in LG update tool should be option "force update" or something like that.BTW I think easiest method is just to flesh.dz file since it will format system partition for sure and you need only drivers that you must install even if you want to update regularly your software.Download SuperSu it should replace your current root app and then from SuperSu choose "remove SuperSu" .That is all I can think off.

Really? Simon is a long time member and he know what he's talking about. He might sound a bit mean sometimes but he's right!
I for myself created like one thread asking a question and the other things I sorted out myself with brief searching, reading and trying.
This question here has been answered already.
You're asking how to unroot without flashing back the stock ROM or unlocking bootloader.
It has been answered in this thread as well and a search (not just on XDA but on Google as well) would've get you to the same answers.
Simon can't tell you where to post and where not but he does as he is trying to get newer or ignorant XDA members to follow the rules.
And one of those rules is to search.
Not just a five minute look but a brief search even in related threads etc.
You won't learn anything by just asking and asking again but by trying and figuring out yourself.
So please do us a favor and stop posting unnecessary questions.
@laufersteppenwolf
I think this has gone way too far.
I know you're in hospital as far as I remember but maybe you can clean this thread if you get time to do so.

1.By the first few words you said i suspect that you define the pople by their registration date at XDA.
2. I didn't found answer to my question thats why i made thread. [Ans. It is actually possible SuperSu will remove root [not sure what kind of remove but still....[ Flashing with support tool is the way but is still flashing]
3. I am not ignorant and new at XDA. I am new to 4x HD section. Also without reading and asking you can't learn anything. Thats the point of the forum.
4. And i think it was necessary question. Since i've searched and couldn't find what i needed to know.
Finding related threads about "How to root", "How to unroot" all say just unlock reflash and relock. Why ? I've just find out today that i can simply run support tool and all will be fine. (Also mine is 446-92 FW I'm not sure if relockable yet.)
Also that standing behind someone just because he says few words that he has read at "Rules" In wrong place....
And just because its old member it's not cool mate im sorry but thats what i think.
Now if moderators think this is unnecesery thread can remove it.

Ye thats what i find out today theres walkaround for flashing and unlocking bootloader.
In lg support tool click options then upgrade recovery and you are good to go for warranty or whatever you need it for.

Let's get behind this rules etc thing but if you'd read more about root function and flashing a stock firmware you would've know that root is installed in system and that a simple reflash unroots your system.
That's what I mean with reading and understanding the way your modified android device works.
I don't know if it's just me but I did know nearly everything about root before even bothering to root my device just in case if something goes wrong I exactly know what to do.
The answers are out there. Most questions can be solved by searching but many users don't do it or they don't have enough knowledge of Android to understand the given output of their searches.
And no I don't define people by their registration date but by the way they post on XDA.
And I'm not supporting Simon because he has said a few words about rules. I'm supporting him because he's been a long time member and follows the rules.
And sorry but if somebody is criticizing your thread in a forum like XDA and you're responding with "STFU" shows me that you're ignorant and lacking respect.
The fact that Simon is doing this is to keep people from posting 10 threads about the same question (like they tend to do) but search and know what they are doing.
The problem with the community is that most new users just follow tutorials but don't know what to do if something goes wrong (and believe me there always will be something that goes wrong) and then they create threads like "help I bricked my 4X HD".
Like I said if you'd know what rooting actually does inside your device you'd know what to do with information you get when you search for unroot.
Let's assume you are a new user and you now install SuperSU and somehow it messes something up.
What will you do? Do you know enough to mess with an android device? I really don't want you to take it personal but that's the way you should think about it.
And I have one question: Why do you want to unroot your device without reflashing stock firmware and think that unlocking boot loader would be necessary to unroot?
(and just one hint: it's not "walkaround" but workaround what you mean I guess)

Okey I know what Root is. I have been rooting and unlocking all my phones i've used to switch roms. (I know that reflashing is the solution)
But the problem is as i said my 4x HD isn't EUR-XXX it's 446-92 (Asian one i suspect)
So unlocking is possible but couldn't really find info about relocking.
And i was in need of workaround as you said (My english is not good) Because my power button its not responsive and the phone still has warranty and that button its going to brick it keeps going more and more unresponsive.
So i didn't wanted to unlock and reflash because i may void my warranty in that case i still need it.

You don't need to unlock anything in order to reflash the stock firmware with LG Support Tool.
That's what I was talking about. You don't know this because you didn't read enough about this device.
And about your warranty: if you'd search in that topic you may acknowledge that rooting doesn't void your warranty in most places as long as the failure (in your case the power button) isn't related to the slight software modification.

Ye but i know here in my country all warranty providers are just looking for something that may void it and just root will void it i am sure.
But never thought support tool works after rooting or modification on software. i did not even think about searching for that you are right now.

Okay since you asked, your question literally clashes the rule of xda; never ask what is best
I strongly suggest trying every ROM that you found for locked bootloaders, and decide the one that worked best for you, rather than asking the community's preferences.
For a quick recommendation, use Bagyusz CM11 for locked bootloader if you prefer Cyanogenmod.

If your bootloader is unlockable, I recommend unlocking it (but backup TA partition first). With that, you can enjoy almost anything with less risk of brick. Moreover, shortcut to fix things if your XSP was bricked.
For more ROMs visit this index thread, and see under the category "hijacked ROMs". Have fun!
Anyhow, here's the thread link to the ROM I have mentioned earlier.

Sry u said "with less risk of brick",is it true? I heared After unlocking bl u should be careful because it may brick your phone. So if I install an unistall roms on my lbl phone, it may brick while if I use unlocked bl there won't be any brick?

Please note the word "less"
Actually after unlocking, that is when you can enjoy freedom but still, possible brick is still there. What I meant by "less brick" is that, you can now flash anything on your phone, regardless if that particular something was built for locked bootloaders or unlocked bootloaders.
Compared to locked bootloaders, you must know what you are doing, or else may result in a brick.
I also assume that you know the differences between hard brick and soft brick. This post explains soft brick only.
So if I install an unistall roms on my lbl phone, it may brick while if I use unlocked bl there won't be any brick?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am also confused with your question Let me answer with my best understanding..
You can't uninstall a ROM on your phone! Well at least, in the terms of such definition.. Second, if you use unlocked bl, possibility of brick is still there. Let's just say brick can happen anytime anywhere. There has been cases of which phones suddenly hard bricked when in fact the user does not do anything on their device! Always prepare for the worse.
--
To wrap things up, in a VERY general way, UBL gives you less brick risk.
