Right now, when I boot my phone up, it says "This build is for development purposes only blah blah blah"

I want to return my phone, because the power button is sticky, but my phone is in this developer mode, and it's unlocked and what-not.

How do I put my phone back to stock so verizon will take it back and not know I unlocked it? I found a method of locking it, but that doesn't solve my "this build is for development" issues, and when I lock it, instead of saying "locked" it says "relocked". I'm assuming verizon won't like it if it says relocked.
