How to Unroot Android

How to Unroot Android

By Mona Leave a Comment

There are various problems that arise using an unrooted device, however, if you have a special motive for doing so then this article will help.  There may be a few reasons why you may want to unroot a device; you want your warranty back, for security purposes, or maybe you just want to sell it.

The steps to unroot your Android are listed below along with the noted complications that can arise if you do this.

Complications Related to Using an Unrooted Device

Battery Drainage

A device that can’t ensure a reasonable amount of online time is problematic. Battery drain is a major issue attached to any unrooted Android.

You will get minimal phone use before the battery runs out. Rooting your device helps slow this drain. It optimizes your battery and provides you with more time online.

Bloatware Can’t be Uninstalled

Have you heard of Bloatware on an Android? These are pre-installed applications and files that come with your newly purchased phone. While you may regard it as initially unimportant, Bloatware eats up your storage space.

You might not feel the brunt of this until you exhaust your phone storage and realize that there are apps on your device which you don’t use. When you try to uninstall these unused apps, you will discover that it is impossible.

However, a device that is rooted would uninstall these apps and provide you with more storage space.

Complicated Data Retrieval

It is important to note that most smartphones are prone to virus attacks.  You need to be prepared and back up your data in case something of this nature happens. Having important information saved on your device is the norm, so it can’t hurt to be extra careful.

In a scenario where your device is affected by a virus and all information is wiped out, it would be extremely difficult to get it back if the device is unrooted. Unrooting only allows you limited backup.

Slow Device

Using an unrooted device means it may perform slowly. Nobody likes a device that lags as it wastes valuable time and resources. When your device is rooted it speeds up the performance of your Android.

Steps to Take to Unroot your Android

You can unroot your device using the SuperSU app. Note this procedure will only work if you have not yet installed a custom recovery image.

  • Launch the SuperSU app
  • When you open the tab, click on “Settings”
  • Locate the “Cleanup section”, and go down to the “Full unroot” option
  • Click on “Full unroot”
  • After this, a confirmation prompt will come up. Tap “Continue”
  • “Restart” your device when you have completed these steps.
