How to root and remove your Android smartphone

Most of you probably have rooted Android smartphones for practical reasons like getting the latest version of Android or fixing certain issues. But sometimes we want to go back but how? Here are some tricks to root it out.

Rooting Android allows for many great things, including expanding your smartphone’s customization options without being constrained by Google and manufacturer restrictions. However, sometimes we may need to cancel the operation. When you need to take your smartphone to after-sales servicefor example, or because you want to resell, or because you are not impressed with the possibilities offered by root.

To root it out, there are several solutions. Some are a bit long but radical, others get straight to the point, but are not compatible with all Android smartphones and tablets. You will surely find one that suits you.

This is still the most effective solution, reinstall original version of the operating system by flashing a Stock ROM. Usage differs depending on device and manufacturer, but in our Android forum you will find most of the necessary files and even tutorials to continue the installation. If you’ve already rooted your smartphone, flashing a ROM or system image shouldn’t scare you off.
