got my n1 2 months back, was on stock for the first month and then rooted and ran custom rom without unlocking the bootloader. after going thru many posts, i feel it would be better to unlock the bootloader. so after i do "fastboot oem unlock" , eveything will be wiped. so does this mean that i would be back on stock rom,recovery ?
and do i need to root again ?
Data will be wiped. Recovery and ROM will be the same. I too rooted and ran cm7 for a long time before unlocking the bootloader.
Easiest way would be to boot into recovery, do a nandroid backup.
Unlock the bootloader, boot back into recovery and nandroid restore.
thanx for ur quick reply baseballfanz . i have made a nandroid backup of my current rom. would i need to root it again or just boot in to recovery and restore it?

Since it is pre-rooted, I see no need of re-rooting before re-applying the nandroid backup.

So backup then unlock then restore is enough right?

Like theshawty said, once you restore the nandroid you're back with a rooted ROM already. No need to do anything further.

Sure thing. Remember, if you did a full nandroid backup, then a full nandroid restore, you're restoring your exact ROM as if you never did anything to it.
Thanx guys :thumbup: .
Will do as u ppl said and report back once i am done.

hi guys jus nw unlocked my bootloader following ur steps. infact it was so easy than i thought . backingup,unlocking n restoring all took about 15 mins.
and my phone looks exactly hw it was before unlocking the bootloader (call log,msg, notes, calendar)
Thanx to CWM recovery, it was so simple and great.
Edit: i am still S-ON. I thought unlocking gives me S-OFF?
You don't need S-off on the N1, unlocking the bootloader gives you pretty much the same result...
Thanx DR. Glad to knw

In fact, you can restore at any time.
But if not on stock kernel, after restore, the phone will get soft-brick.
So it's better to restore after flashing the stock rom.

Yes you can restore it on any stock ROM you want. Just make sure everything is stock.
Hi, m8s!
I'm using the official .283 ROM at the moment. I'm root and have CWM. I wonder if I make a backup of my current ROM and unlock my phone's bootloader (hence I lose all my data), could I restore the backup after without re-locking the bootloader? If yes, should I restore just /data or could I make a complete restore?
Thanks in advance!
anyone?

If you would make a backup of your current ROM, that doesn't backup your TA-Partition (I think), you need to make its backup seperately
Hi guys, I'm looking to return to stock to sell my phone. I've restore my nandroid backup of stock and was looking for stock recovery so i could relock bootloader. Anyone know or have one for Xt1072, build number LXB22.99-24.
Got it sorted. Thanks
