How to Unroot the Huawei Ascend P7

If you’re tired of using a custom ROM on your Ascend P7 and wish to go back to the stock ROM, here’s how you can go about doing that. Unrooting your device using the procedure below will let you enjoy the pure official stock firmware on your device that came preloaded on your device when you purchased it.

Unrooting is the process of removing root access, a custom recovery (if you have one), and just trying to get the device back to as close to stock as possible.

Some of the reasons for unrooting your Huawei Ascend P7 are:

  • Sending in the device for warranty (most, but not all unrooting procedures reinstate the manufacturer warranty if you had one before rooting).
  • Starting over (simply undoing everything you did while rooted so you can have a clean slate to start over).
  • Fix any issues (Maybe rooting messed something up? No problem, unrooting will take care of it for you).
