Root Unrooting Question

[socodef]

So my power button has decided to quit working. Which isn't the end of the world because I just set my phone to volume rocker unlock but it would be nice to replace the phone as it's still under warranty. Only problem is that I'm rooted and I'm not sure I can unroot without my power button. Does anyone know of a one click unroot or a way to do it without booting into the download mode and flashing through ODIN? I've been looking and I'm not sure there is a way to unroot without the use of my power button.

Thanks for any help!

I cannot answer your question as to whether or not it is possible to unroot via ODIN (as I have no experience with your phone), but thought I'd answer, as I noticed your post in our unanswered threads... I'm sure someone with a bit of knowledge on your device will join in and be able to advise if you can do it that way.

Just out of interest, how long have you had your phone? I'm sure that I read somewhere that carriers will just send the phone back to the manufacturer if it develops a fault after 6 months, so they wouldn't even check to see if it is rooted.

The warrantee would cover you for the power button too, I think, as this is a physical fault on the phone, not something that you have caused yourself by rooting it...

You should be able to use the adb commands to do everything you need. Such as adb reboot bootloader will take you to the bootloader. From there you can flash the stock fastboot files and then re-lock it an take it in.

Also being a nexus s it may not matter since it is a developer device and the problem is strictly hardware they may not care. If the power button doesn't work turn it off then take it in. No power buttons are tricky to deal with because it is kind of hard to turn the phone off when it's broke. The commands listed above should be all you need but I take no responsibility if you turn it off since to get to get out of the bootloader you need to use the power button to select stuff. You can issue a reboot command from fastboot though also.
