Want to return Nexus....Unroot??

[bjones521]

I am going to return my nexus. I spoke to someone at technical support today that the brand new nexus s 4gs dont have the same terrible problems the new ones have.

I am on a mac. Does anyone have a step by step guide of how to unroot my phone so I can return it and get a new one?

Thanx!!!

Check over at XDA. They actually have a write up for unrooting (where I haven't seen one here) for windows. I'm not sure about Mac but I'm sure someone over there would know; if, you don't get a response here.

2 options I see available..

First here is the thread to return your device back to stock form.

Stock Nexus Rom for those who need it

It requires the use of Odin to do so.

Next hurdle/step. You can use someone's PC running Windows for 15-20 minutes to make things easier to do since Odin is based on Windows or installed Bootcamp for Windows on your Mac so you can run Odin.

Follow the instructions in the thread link I sent you above once you have decided which route to take to using Odin.

I actually unrooted yesterday on my mac without out any problems and it took about 10 minutes or even less.

Followed this guide:
[NS4G] Stock ROMs | How To Root/Unroot | OTA Files & Images - xda-developers

and this is specific to macs:
[GUIDE] Root 2.3.3 On a Mac WITH OEM Unlock! - xda-developers

Follow second post first to download the files u need. adb and fastboot
once u download and extract them connect your phone to your mac. open terminal and type:
./adb devices
if you get an output listing your device serial number, you are good to go.

do this:
./adb reboot bootloader

Once its booted into bootloader run this:
./fastboot devices
If it comes back with your device you are fully set.

then follow the second guide and issue commands on how to return to stock.
just type ./ infront of commands

Dumb question- is there a new model called the "4gs" .... or where you saying that "4g's" (plural). I just bought a nice used 4g and I was confused... was there actually an interim period where sprint had a Nexus S model that wasn't 4g?

If I may introduce a related topic- I have owned 3 Sprint 4g phones in the last 60 days and I have been unimpressed with all of them (Evo, Epic, Nexus S 4g)- but for some reason I was happy with an EVo for a long, long time. Is Sprint's network really sucking and irratic or am I just having irratic, sucky phones?

I don't see on the second guid what to type after.....

./adb devices

./adb reboot bootloader

./fastboot devices

What should I do???
