rm -f /system/bin/su
rm -f /system/xbin

Were you able to alleviate your 3g problem BLUE?
Im not sure what kind of issues Blue was having, but when I got mine rooted. I noticed that dl'ing apps from the market was taking FOREVER. So I ran 4 different speedtest.net tests and my avg for the 4 tests was something like 118/150 with a max of ~180/220. I couldnt figure out what the issue was, so I unrooted mine (thank you shabby!!) and ran a few more speedtests with them being 550/350 and 351/185 for the first two.
For whatever reason, having the phone rooted slowed the shit out of mine. Only things that I did was install a few root app, remove bloatware.
Might try again tomorrow, maybe it was just an iffy rootjob.

Download a terminal emulator then try.
When i tried the command
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl12 /system
doesn't seem to work (operation not permitted)
and i cannot delete su because its read only.
Any other suggestions on unrooting?

Removing root is giving me a bit of a problem. Not sure why but this is what it says when I type in the first command.
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
Any ideas why?
Had Da Same Problem Un-rooting... With A Lil Playing Around I Got It Removed...
Jus Type Mount in terminal emulator 1st. Then Type Remount rw . Which Changes The System Permissions To Read & Write. Then I Removed Each File & Folder Listed Above With Root Explorer... Or Yo Can Use The Rm Commands Above. Both Work... Root Gone... Rebooted Phone... Also Noticed That /dev/stl12 /system Wasn't Located Anywhere On My Phone Maybe A Typo.... I DUnnO! Hope This Helps Out...
I'm having the same issue. Can anyoneshare some guidance? Thanks!!

A fix to ShabbyMods coding above (props to him)
Type in your terminal emulator:
1) su
2) mount
3) remount rw
4) rm /system/bin/su
5) rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
This worked for me perfectly and I hope it does for you as well. TIP: I removed -f in the code and removed the rm /system/xbin as you will have root removed all the way after a reboot from doing step 1-5.

you can use odin multi download. thats how i did it but that wont fix your 3g. i got mines to work but idk how. i was playing around with the dial menus. i noticed the settings for browser were blank and some other ones i dont remember.

If you use odin and stock unrooted, that is exactly as the phone came from the store.

You can just use Odin and flash it back to an unrooted state.
Or
Use a root file explorer, mount /system as rw, then:
1 delete superuser.apk from /system/app
2 install super user from market (so it's a user app, the root explorer may not work without it, but the system is already mounted rw)
3. Delete su binary (in system/bin)
4. Uninstall superuser
5. reboot
