How to Unroot Your MyTouch 4G Slide: A Step-by-Step Guide

Before you begin, it's essential to understand that unrooting your device will completely erase your device and reset it back to its out-of-box state. This means that you'll lose root access, go back to S mode, install a stock recovery, and all your stock data will be restored. This process is ideal if you want to send your device in for warranty reasons, sell the phone, or start from scratch again.

To get started, you need to download the stock firmware for your MyTouch 4G Slide. Click on the link provided, and it will begin to download. If you have a MegaUpload account, you'll be prompted to log in and download the file. If you don't have an account, click "Download" without logging in, and the file will be available after a few seconds.

Make sure that the downloaded file is named "PG 59 IMG zip" (without quotes). Leave it as is; this ensures safety during the process. Now, save the file to your computer by waiting for it to complete the download. Once saved, plug in your device via USB and select the disk drive option so that you can transfer files to it.

On your computer, your device's SD card should show up automatically if you're using a PC or be listed under "Removable Disk" on your Mac desktop. Double-click the SD card to open it, and then locate the downloaded file (PG 59 IMG zip). Place the file directly on the SD card, not inside any folders; this is crucial for the process to work properly. Do not extract the file or alter its name in any way. The file should remain as a dot zip file.

Once you've successfully placed the file on the SD card, disconnect your USB cable and proceed to turn off your device by pressing the power button. Wait for it to completely power off. Next, hold down both Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously until the screen comes up, indicating that the device is booting up automatically. The device will start looking for the dot zip file on the SD card; eventually, a status bar will appear at the top right corner of the screen.

As the update process begins, you'll see individual components being updated. Once the update is complete, the device will say "Update Complete" and prompt you to press the Power button to reboot. Press the Power button, and wait for your device to completely boot up again. Congratulations! You've successfully unrooted your MyTouch 4G Slide, and it should now be back in its out-of-box state when first turned on.

By following these steps, you'll be able to safely remove root access from your MyTouch 4G Slide and restore your device to its original state. Remember to always backup any important data before attempting this process, as unrooting your device may result in the loss of certain files or settings.
