If you are s-off, it should be possible, although I've never tried it. You should be able to downgrade your firmware to whichever version and then flash the old ROM or run the old RUU.

Hi. I´ve used motofail2go from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928509 to root. I haven´t noticed a problem with mi RAZR i sound so, I need to take it to waranty but there´s the problem that the waranty is "avoided" with the root. So I need to unroot my phone. I haven´t unlocked the bootloader, thats why I used motofail2go. Is there any way to unroot?
My firmware is 871.110.13009.XT890.AmericaMovil.en.MX.

Simply reflash any firm with RSD Lite (Use the newer versions, like 6.14)

Hi Guys, i'm noob to this and would appreciate if someone could give me some advise.
If my phone is bought in China, called MT788 here, is it possible and safe to root it and flash the firmware with a retail GB?
The original firmware is IRPMTD_6_02.47.00RPS, IFWI version is 05.A8, Baseband version is L1713-MSA_1.10.05.P01.
Does anyone knows if this AIO works? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026031

Hey, i would like to update from ics to jb but what is the difference between using an ota and flashing a firmware from the sbf droid developers site or even here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239706
I have bootloader unlocked and ics rooted already if that makes any difference.
I recomend a lot install the jb firmware and not usibg the ota service, for avoid phone bricks, also, if you install the jb firmware with rsd lite, you have the posibility to return to ics without brick (i dont know why you will return but its a extra)

That's not entirely true that u cant go back when u have installed it by OTA update. With rsd and with ota update u will upgrade some files exactly the same way with both methods, that must not be downgraded. Those files are the bootloader and partition files aka motoboot, gpt, dns, ifwi and (bos?).
I recommend if u ever want to downgrade, flash all things manually. Flash the boot, recovery and system partitions only when going from JB to ICS and erase the cache/data partition or u will get a software-brick. Is fixable though.
But to go from ICS to JB (upgrade), I go with Marco for the rsd flash. Especially when rooted i think. There is a small change that u will relock the bootloader, but i don't know that for sure. However it should work with OTA in theory if u have stock recovery...
Thanks alot guys I updated with rsd lite and it worked my bootloader is still unlocked, but i noticed the when i boot up, the initial screen changed from the motorola logo with "bootloader unlocked" written, to a sort of warning notification about the bootloader being unlocked.
Hazou thats exactly what i wanted to know actually because i was confused about the downgrading process, seeing that many have hard-bricked. One more question, you say i must flash those files individually, but what about restoring a nandroid backup i made when on ics?

No problem, as long as u don't touch any of those bootloader files there is almost no chance that things can go wrong.

I have a 1097 with unlocked bootloader running lolipop 5.1 Movistar Chile had before android 5.0.1 rooted , realize the unroot and update to 5.1 via OTA , but there is no image or form Rooot directly to my xt1097 , today tried the application for kingsroot see if I could get root my phone to my surprise was rooted , my question is if anyone else tried this method or to know more about him or if you have problems . thanks
Are you saying that root didn't work with kingsroot?
Rooting is easy, just flash twrp recovery. When you exit twrp it will ask if you want to root your phone, and do it for you.

I am seeking a less invasive way , so you can easily unroot and recive ota's

First of all with twrp it is easy. And second there are reports that kingroot steals imei from users. They say that they don't abuse it... but after using kingroot somebody somewhere has your imei, and in my opinion kingroot should never be used because of that.
