This thread belongs in Q&A. The Development forum is for development of new roms, kernels and radios, and the discussion of these developments.
Also, the answer to your question is in this sticky at the top of this forum.

How to restore to stock.
Look at the stickies of this section. If it was a snake it would have bit you.
People are gonna be mean to you : /
I just wasnt sure if that would work so i ask and i know ppl will be mean. I always make sure to ask before doing
1. belongs in Q & A
2. you do not need to unroot and re-root to flash new radios or roms or RUU's. If you are rooted...you can do whatever you want
3. Stickied in this forum just above your post are guides to both rooting and returning to stock.
Tons of ppl have already asked just take the time to read. Reading Sucks donkey balls but if you aren't willing to read then you aren't gonna be allowed to play this game.
YEA!!! and if you ask a question in the wrong section again, mean people will track you down and beat you! cause its easier to do that than just answer a question!
Not to be rude but don't you think if it didn't work it wouldn't be stickied?
I get to leave work in 20 minutes. Yay.

i found the same post in Q& A for the incredible so I was skeptical on the Tutorial linked but it worked ....
Hello all
I've had a bit of a search and can't see my questions being answered, if they have sorry point me to the posts.
1: Are there any obvious drawbacks to updating using OTA rather than the other ways? The phone is still in warranty and I know 3rd party builds may invalidate it.
2: If I update to Ginger bread OTA do i need to unroot froyo first?
3: After update can I still root the phone and use a Webtop hack
I think that's about it.
Thanks for any help

To part answer my own post. I did unroot.
I found that rerooting was fairly easy.
Im yet to try webtop hack.
Hope that helps someone out there
I’ve been on this forum for a few weeks now and seen many posts on rooting/s-off etc, and I am confused over the options. (thanks to Globatron and others for their hard work). I was hoping that someone could give me the right reference.
I have the stock View with GB and the OTA update has been staring at me for some time now. I don’t (yet) want to upgrade To HC but I do want to do things like backups, remove Sprint bloatware etc. I understand that I have to root the device to do this. Can anyone point me to the steps necessary to root my stock View? Do I just run the prerequisite steps in Globatrons thread? Which steps specifically?
If I do this, and later decide to update to the OTA HC update, will that brick the View? Do I have to use one of the custom ROMs (and approaches) documented here?
Also, if someone here does a custom ICS ROM for the View, could we go from GB direct, or would we have to go GB > HC > ICS?
Thx for your help.
This thread does not belong in development. It belongs in the general section. The development forum is for just that threads that are about development (roms, kernels, recoveries, tools) and not for general how to questions or questions on how to root.

this thread...or not..
can someone confirm me...please..
You should have posted this question in the General section, questions like this should not be in the DEV section.
I do not think you can root the official HC if you did the upgrade. You 1st need to downgrade to GB again. Follow this thread to downgrade.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428104
Then after you have downgraded you can follow the steps in the link you posted to upgrade to HC again with a prerooted version.
Before you do anything READ, READ and READ again.
Good luck

Confirming that what is quoted is the correct path.
if i unroot, (sorry for posting this elsewhere too) does it still say tampered? if so, will best buy still take it back if say its broke or something?
The thread about rooting answers this question.
