OK I was looking at ways of unrooting if need be and was wondering if there is a way to do it on the phone it self?

Can I download a terminal emulator like Gscript and type in the comands or do I need to do it from my computer?

How To Remove Root from DL09, simple and easy. This is really as simple as it can get. You don't even have to use a computer.

1) Download "Terminal Emulator" from the Android Market. It's called Terminal Emulator and it's free :)

2) Open Terminal Emulator
Type the following code in this order. Press the curved arrow key after each line you type (that's the "enter" button, bottom right of keyboard).


su
mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm /system/xbin/busybox
rm /system/xbin/su
rm /system/bin/busybox
mount -t rfs -o remount,ro /dev/block/stl9 /system
exit
exit

3) Hit the back arrow a few times to fully back out of the app.

4) You are UNROOTED! :)
Go check by opening one of your apps that asks for root access such as Titanium Backup or ROM Manager.
 
Hey there, just browsing by and saw your post, don't forget that the post above removed superuser, but I'm guessing you had clockwork recovery installed also, that would still be on the phone and I believes it blocks updates. Didn't know if you were selling or returning the phone but I just didn't want you to forget about replacing the stock recovery also.:)

P.S. I think Odin is the best way to flash the stock recovery, just search for adryns go back to stock Odin thread I know its on xda not sure if someone brought it here. :)
 
Actually i don't have clock work on there i never got around to doing that yet. I rooted it then work and live stuff dragged me away from getting that downloaded.But thanks anyway.
