Older....Official D1-MIUI-0.12.3.2

Agreed. RSD Lite is very, very quick. Secondly, unrooting takes no time at all. All you have to do is flash the stock ROM and you're good to go. Unroots the phone completely, no superuser app, nothing. It's like you never rooted and it takes a few minutes to flash a ROM. That's what I did when I had to unroot. Didn't even have to use a computer. Downloaded, moved, renamed, flashed. Very easy and fast.

Flashing an unrooted/stock ROM doesn't unroot your phone; you just lack any superuser permissions within the Android operating system, so you're unable to run any app that requires su.

You're phone would still be rooted because you left the custom recovery image (ClockworkMod/SPRecovery) flashed onto the phone. The only real way to unroot is to use a stock sbf to flash both the stock recovery image and the stock ROM, both in one shot.

It did for me. I checked the Recovery to make sure and it was stock recovery
 
I gave up and installed LP over MIUI. Shame cause I'm losing all of the functionality of the stock launcher. It needs a lot of work. It's very SLOW. Also, why is the search button not tied to the new google search? I used to long press it to get to voice commands and now it just sucks. And SMS time stamps in the conversation list! We need a fix! Please MIUI devs.. I really wanna keep this rom.

1...the new version is not laggy or slow. I use slayhers #25 1.0 ghz interactive and setcpu...oc to 1000mhz...I find it to be faster than any other ROM ive used.

2. Pull google search from market and delete the googlequicksearchbox.apk from /system/app and reboot. I use the black google search apk from PEv3.5

3. The google search is the softpress on the search softkey...long pressing is supposed to bring up the voice search.

what are your setcpu settings? maybe i can get some ideas from you. i just deleted the "quicksearchbox.apk" so we'll see if that works for the voice searching. thanks for the response.

EDIT: ok.. deleting quicksearchbox just totally killed my search button for the homescreen. now whether i press it or long-press it, it does NOTHING. i have the new google search installed....

I don't think you can flash a recovery from within a recovery...

That just doesn't make sense...

Edit: Wait, maybe you can, nandroid backup's the recovery partition when creating a backup, lol.

I wouldn't sit here and lie about it. The reason I had to get a replacement was because my jack or whatever for the charger was messed up so I couldn't charge it unless I wrapped it around the side of a table and it wouldn't connect to the pc at all. If I tried the phone would just reboot. Same for trying to charge with the charger using an outlet unless I wrapped it around the table and for whatever reason worked but it wouldn't for the pc. So, I googled for ways to unroot because I knew that it would void my warranty and I didn't want that. I finally found an unroot method by flashing the stock ROM, or maybe an edited version of the stock ROM, but to sum it all up, I flashed it and everything was completely stock. Recovery and all.
 
yeah, if you check ROM Manager, theres an option to flash an un-rooted version of the stock rom. i did it too when i TRIED to get another replacement. had to re-root when i got home using RSD.
i actually didnt think it was gonna work, but i flashed it and it did work.

Ah, of course it has an easy method. I have SPRecovery so I didn't have that option. Would have been nice to have at the time. I went through hell and back on trying to figure out how to fix my phone so I could get it replaced. But, I promise I'm not lying(: I just called and told them it was rebooting when plugged into the charger, which it was, and they sent my one two days later because I called after 5. My niece had ripped it off the charger and that's how the port got damaged.
 
I was reading this thread because I install the MIUI rom late last night. Very nice job, team!

The first few minutes I thought I had my iPhone back ;)

Thanks for advancing the Android community.
 
DJ, I'm curious. What stock rom to you install that remved root?

Mike

I have no idea. I have it on my SD card though. I got it last month from browsing on my phone looking for unroot methods so when I used it, I kept it on my SD card just in case I ever have to get a replacement again. But I don't know where I got it or where it was from. It might have been from here actually. I just went to google and searched unroot methods(something along those lines) and eventually it came up, tried it, and it worked.

EDIT: Everything I just said is kinda repetitive but you get the idea haha
