[HOW TO] Return to 100% stock 1.13.651.7 / ROM - Recovery - S-ON!

Thanks for this. I'm rooted but haven't flashed any new ROMs yet and was wondering what I needed to get back to stock incase I don't like the new ROM .

If you don't like the new ROM just flash another ROM. Use this method if you need to send in or bring to sprint for repair. Or... You hose things up so bad you cant restore and flash a new rom... This method will remove s-off, root and recovery. So you would have to do that all over again.

Doing this method will set phone back to new out of the box status. No root, no recovery, etc...

Ahh, my mistake then. I was reading over at XDA that reflashing stock won't actually set S-ON, that you would have to do a special fastboot command that sets S-ON.

Now that I'm thinking of it, if I wanted to go back to the state I'm in now(rooted but stock ROM) could I just restore from TWRP(I've already made backup with the nandroid part).

Sorry I'm an android n00b. I've been on winmo for quite a while(even cooking my own ROMS) so all this android stuff is still a bit foreign to me.

Yeah, just use the back up unless you need to go into panic mode.
