Root Rooted - reboots

Hi all,

This may be a dumb question. I'm rooted with Pete's Tool version 1.05 and bootstrapped. I'm getting random reboots, and want to take it back to verizon to see what's up, but I want to unroot before I go back in. Can I just do a factory reset on it, or will i have to go through the whole unroot process and then reinstall the Bionic Stock 5.5.1?

I had an Eris that i toyed with all the time before this, but I'm kinda nervous with this device, it being so new and expensive.

If I can get away with just doing a factory reset, can someone tell me how?

Thanks
 
Thank you. I think I'm gonna end up having to go through with reinstalling the stock rom though. I installed and ran AdFree on the phone so some host files were modified. I saw a warning when I went to run the unroot tool that said it would not undo changes to "AdFree hosts"... is this something I really need to worry about, or am I being paranoid?

Being paranoid isn't always a bad thing, but in this case you may be being a bit too much. If all you did was run AdFree, you don't have too much to be concerned about.

I could send you an UNedited host file, which would undo what that app did for you. Let me know.
 
Thanks, but all is well. I simply unrooted, returned the phone for a new one with relatively no questions asked...

So far, no reboots. not yet rooted again.
 
Just feel the need to say, rooting a phone cannot cause reboots in and of itself. Not unless you delete our change a file that you shouldn't have.
