This is a photo of my keyboard overlay (key labels) for newRPL on the Prime G1.

I have never attempted to revert from newRPL to stock, and I just tried the wiki instructions unsuccessfully.

If all else fails, you can just run it until the battery is completely dead, and it will revert back to stock on its own. Or maybe just pull the battery?

Or even better, press the hidden reset button on the back. That just worked for me to bring it back to stock. You can get back to newRPL by pressing On(hold), Symb(hold), and then tap Esc. This is a very fiddly process, and timing is tricky. I usually just start mashing the keys until it brings me to the system menu (not sure that is the correct term, but you will know it when you see it).

To get BACK to newRPL, I just tried again, and I get reasonably repeatable results by doing the following:

With the calc on in the stock OS, press and hold ON and then press and hold Symb. The screen will go black. When the screen goes black, press and hold ESC and release the other two keys. The timing of the pressing of the ESC key is the tricky part.

You will eventually get to a screen that says you are about to erase something. Just press the SYMB key under the "CONT" text at the bottom of the screen, and you are back in newRPL.
