How to Unroot HTC Legend...? - Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
sorry if you seen this same post somewhere else, I accidently posted in wrong section. So few hours ago, being the idiot I obviously am, I forgot my Legend outside on my deck, and tonight, mother nature also decided to teach me a cruel lesson and shed rain on top of my poor now damaged Legend. So far I can't do much to the phone, but I do still have my warranty with HTC, but the problem is, it's rooted and I need to know if there's anyway to unroot it right now being in the system it is? The trackpad still works, touch screen however, is now messed up and swipes down for the notification icon whenever I swipe sideways though. Feel free to criticize me. I think I deserve quite a bit of it.
EDIT:
Good news! This morning the touch screen is much more responsive, just the notification swipe is not working now. But it's a start. Any idea how to unroot? Thanks guys.

Phone won't unlock, what could be the problem?

Hi everyone, currently have a situation with my HTC HD2. I have the Energy Sense Rom and I just noticed a couple days ago when I try to slide my phone to unlock it, it won't slide at all. Like it won't recognize my finger and only way for me to do anything is take out the battery and put it back in.
Anybody have any idea how this could happen? Is the phone pretty much dying? It gets damn annoying when someone texts me and I can't slide the button over to unlock the phone. Sometimes I just gotta give it time then it would work but who wants to do that? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Does this happen in any other applications apart from the lockscreen ?
Sometimes when it does unlock, I won't be able to pick any icon on the screen. Literally the whole screen wouldn't do anything at all. I can't push the start button, I can't click on opera, all I could do is lock up the phone again.
Gets so annoying! I'm gonna try to upgrade the custom rom and see if it does anything.
hate to say it but i think you are going to need to return your phone. likely hardware. this happened to me; hard keys worked but screen was flakey and then stopped worked. by chance, have you used android?

Never used android so I don't think it's android related at all. Just happened out of no where.

[Q] X10 Mini Pro not working properly

Hey Com,
I got some problems with my u20i x10 Mini Pro. It was stuck in some boot loop like 1 month ago and I tried to reflash it with SEUS and this flaher App thing thousands of times. I did not have a little bit of success so i gave it up 3 weeks ago. Since then i had my phone laying under my desk without the battery. Today I decided to try it again and, GOD KNOWS WHY, it started up normally. So i finished the startup wizard and everything worked fine. Then i rooted it with superoneclick (my phone had A.0.6 FW), rebooted and everything worked just fine. Then I wanted to sign in to my wireless network and for some reason it did not work, but whatever. After like half an hour my phone started lagging really hard and suddenly the screen went black. I tried to push all the buttons and the screen went bright for a very little while and went black again. And this point it was like it was turned off. So i tried to turn it on and, guess what, its stuck in a boot loop! YAY! Now my phone is lying in front of me and all i can see is the only white SONY ERICSSON logo.
Seriously what has happened? Anyone knows how to fix that?
Thanks in advance, Martin.
UPDATE:
Now I am facing a new problem. My device turns "on", I can see the white SE logo, then the screen goes black but for some odd reason the touchscreen is reacting at the lower left and right parts of the screen. I can even dial a number (i hear the beeps) when I press twice at the lower left corner and then tapping at the display. But well, i guess thats not how the phone should work. So did any one also face this problem? Do you have a solution for that?
Anyway, Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards, Martin.

Your posting skills are zero..
Using profanity is one thing, but using it in the topic? Surely a 99% ignore from most members!
Id go back and edit your posting if you are actually capable of using better language!
Nochances,
Wow, you must be one big loser, your first post is to criticise someone the way the lay out a question script.

Vegan tab gingedition help

I set the lockout screen to rotary and I can't unlock my tablet. I need help and it is really frustrating doing trying I know to fix the problem besides a re-flash. I would post in the Vegan tab thread but there is no way I can do that while under 10 posts.
Thanks, vik
I warn do not change your lockout screen while using vegan tab gingeredition because it will essentially soft brick your device as in my case.
The trick is to swipe from corner to corner and ignore the little arc which is half size. Pretend the arc goes all the way around.
Lol, I figured this out last night by accident by just swiping everywhere like a madman until it magically opened.
I had actually turned mine upside down hoping that the gui would flip but it didn't. I couldn't figure out what I did so I could post it but I guess you already knew. props.
Anyways thanks and this'll be the last time I mess with lock screen settings. It's s funny I go through all the "hard stuff" like configuring and flashing only to be undone by a lock-screen.

[Q] Humidity

This is more of a help me what to do thread
for the last two days the weather in the northeast has been crazy hot.. both days have gone to +100.
Humidity has been at its worst. I noticed that my phone started acting weird, in the sense that the capacitive lights kept flickering.
I had done the init.post.boot before so they should be off!!
And now some letters are not responding, however is only when the phone is vertical. -- the letter , the delete(backspace) and the enter key dont respond.
Strange however, they do respond when i rotate the phone horizontally.
Im running Eclizpe's 5.1 rom. I have tried wiping data and installing all fresh to no avail
I have run permissions and nada.
At this point i think its a hardware issue, but since i have S-Off, am I SOL?

Yes it has been hot as to why that is happening i'm not quite sure it could be HW but wait until sunday as it is supposed to be 82
You should check the water damage indicators behind the sides of the battery. If its white, you may be able to send it for warranty. S-Off really shouldn't matter (correct me if I'm wrong) , what matters is that you need to be running a stock rom, a stock recovery, and have it unrooted. Im sure something else too but I can't remember.

And a locked bootloader/s-on.
i did check the indicators both on phone and on battery, both are white so i know no water damage. Phone hasnt been dropped or anything like that.. I think it was just a mix of humidity and maybe a little sweat from when ppl wouldnt stop calling

I don't know...I'm in Texas less than 5 hours from Mexico and the heat/humidity sucks. I work part time carpentry and phone has had no problems. I've read humidity can be an issue but I don't buy it. Something the carriers like you to believe so they can claim water damage I think

[Q] Shaking Problem with my Vibrant

Hello! Every one
I'm having a weid issue with my phone I already search the forum and a few threads appear but nothing that could help me....
I flashed a ICS rom a few days ago... and my phone started to shut off when I shake it or something that could move it hard and sometimes it just shut off doing absolutley nothing...
At first I tought it was a kernel problem or a bad flash problem so I returned to stock with Odin and the problem stills there... When Im on Recovery It also shut off from any kind of shaking...
I change battery with some friend and my battery is working just fine.. when I put my friends battery in my Vibrant still shut off when shaking...
So my question is... could be a software problem? or is it a Hardware problem?...
Any help would be awesome!...
Thanks guys! (sorry for my bad english )
you need to put something inbetween the battery like some cotton or something to keep it in place your battery is falling out of place even though your cover is on

This is my initial suggestion as well. Try it out and let us know how it goes. Hopefully it's a simple fix...if not, come back and we can move forward!
Good luck!

I messed with one that if the top left corner of the phone got tweaked just a little (can happen in your pocket) the phone would shut off.
Thought it was very strange, tried everything with it. After googling and reading I found that it was/is pretty common and I never found a solution.
