I seem to be having a issue that hopefully someone has a answer how to fix, I have uninstalled the superuser app using the uninstall option under Settings >> Applications >> Manage Applications but for some reason the icon continue to return to the app tray even when the remove app says its been removed, I even hard reset and the icon is still there. I have issues with my device and I need to take it to store but I canr get this to stay gone...

Do anyone have a solution for this? This is the only app that is wont remove and I hope someone can help..
 
If you've already unrooted, you might just have to flash the SBF. I haven't had to do it yet but that seems like your last resort.
 
SBF is prob the most painless way

But there isn't a 2.2.1 full sbf that I know of, I tried installing the 2.3.240 update before and it didn't seem to change anything and 2.2 build listed in post wont load with latest update installed. I do not have issue doing SBF if I knew where to get the full flash file. Care to share link?
 
I GOT IT FIGURED OUT!!! :D

I ended up figuring out the solution to remove the two apps that did not remove with factory reset after removing root:

Droid X Bootstrapper Complete Removal
  • UNINSTALL the Recovery APK (Droid X Bootstrapper) in Settings, Applications
  • Reboot
  • Run "adb shell" or "Terminal Simulator"
  • Run "su"
  • Run "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system"
  • Run "cp /system/bin/logwrapper.bin /system/bin/logwrapper"
  • Reboot

SuperUser Complete Removal

  • Root Device
  • Install Root Explorer
  • Browse to System >> Apps
  • Delete all SuperUser.apk (My device had 2)
  • Restart Device
  • Goto Settings >> Privacy >> Factory Data Reset >> Reset Phone >> Erase Everything

After doing this I had a clean, unrooted, stock device ready for repair service.. :D:D:p NO SBF Required YAHHH!!!

Thanks for the help, it usually takes others suggestions to get me thinking up a solution.

Pretty much, the suggestions got me to post that was close to a solution but still didnt have a solution verified and with that information it gave me the ideal to experiment with the work around others suggested until I figured out the working solution for me. The Bootstrap solution was close to being correct on a few sites but the command was off by a few comands and the Superuser solution came from the years of dealing with WM and I figure I would give some of my old solutions a try on Android device.... And I was glad it worked.:)
