How To Unroot the MyTouch 4G Slide

So you need to send in your MyTouch 4G Slide for warranty? Or perhaps you’re selling it? Either way, you should unroot the device first and restore it back to it’s original, out of box, state. Here’s how.

I. Before You Begin

1. This will completely erase your device and reset it back to out of the box state. You will lose root, S-Off, recovery etc. It will be as if you just took it out of the box.

II. Flash the Stock Firmware

1. Download the stock firmware and save it to your computer (do NOT extract it, leave it as a .zip).

2. Plug in your phone via USB cable and mount the storage so we can transfer files to it.

3. Copy the .zip file to the root of the sd card (not in any folders, just on the sd card itself).

4. Unplug the device.

5. Turn off the device.

6. Turn it back on by holding down volume down and power and keep holding it until the bootloader screen comes up.

7. It should automatically find the .zip file we put on the sd card, when it does, push power to begin the update.

8. Once it is done, push power to reboot.

9. Once it reboots, all set!

    1. This will put the stock firmware back and remove Revolutionary. But it does not put S-On back. So you loose the recovery part but it is still rooted.
