Back to s-on?

[BBwhat]

Going to give the Thunderbolt to my wife. Know she doesn't want to deal with a rooted phone. Flashed my backup nandroid. Returned to earlier radios. All works well but s-off still shows during reboot. How do I get this back to complete stock so she can get OTA updates? Thanks anyone.

If you flashed your backup, and had not removed any apps or any other changes before you made that backup... then after you get an OTA push it will reset your device back to s-on.

If you used revolutionary to root, CW also has the UNroot guide as part of the Rooting guide.

Well, I tried that but the OTA update won't install. Freezes about a third of the way through. Can't figure it out yet. Still working on it.

Then I'd check the XDA link above... or if you did the Revolutionary root you might consider the other post above. I'm just stating what happen to me several months back... I had my device exactly as it was after I rooted it, including all bloatware apps back on my device exactly as they were (including setting permissions of the files) and after the first OTA I was back to unrooted... and had to root my device again. After that I left the stock ROM behind and have lived in the custom ROM world ever since.

Tried the Revolutinary unroot procedure. Got to the point where it boots the phone in to fastboot mode. Thenwhen I type "fastboot devices" at the command prompt it tells me fastboot is not a recognized command. What gives?

I rooted but havent changed anything, havent flashed either. If an OTA comes through, will it mess up the phone?

It could...

Why root if you're not going to change anything?

(not criticizing, just curious)

Just install a pre-rooted version of the latest factory firmware.

If your wife "doesn't want to deal with a rooted phone", then she won't know the difference.
