But what happens when circumstances force you to unroot it?You may want to unroot your device for security reasons or when updating the Android device. Or, perhaps you are trying to resell your handsets or get the warranty service. Whatever the reason you may be having, unrooting is not complicated at all – as long as you are sure of what you are doing.
Use SuperSU
SuperSU is a popular app for managing rooted handsets. Among its multiple great features is the capability to unroot your handsets. The process is very easy. You just have to open this app and go to Settings tab. Wipe down and tap ‘Full Unroot’. You are then required to follow instructions and then let your handset do its thing. After it has finished unrooting your handset, restart your device and it goes back to normal.Use a file manager
Root access is just a bunch of files on your handset. Eliminating them also deactivates the root. You will require a file manager that has a root access. One of the best to do this task is the ES File Explore.- Go to your handset’s main drive and select ‘system’. Click bin and then delete ‘su’ and ‘busybox’. At times these files aren't there. If this happens to be the case, go to the next step.
- Open the system folder again and look for ‘xbin’. If your find the files there, proceed and delete both ‘su’ and ‘busybox’.
- Return to system folder and tap ‘app’.
- Delete the ‘superuser, apk’.
- Restart your handset and this will be all done.
