How to Unroot the LG L70

If you are fed-up of using a custom ROM on your device, or maybe if you’re going to buy a new device and want to sell off your LG L70, you should consider unrooting it. It’ll help you reinstate the warranty of your device as well as remove any signs that you may have put on your device.

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 LG L70 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).

      1. Never mind, I brought it in to the store and they replaced the device free of charge, thanks for the article though

  1. The problem is that when you hit the “normal web upgdrade” button, this tool automatically leads to the Official LG client and tries to upgrade from there, and of course, it says the phone it already updated. That message Vanel said is for that, once you install that client (from the official LG page) the error goes, but you can´t update anyway…any solution ?

  2. Why cant I download the stock firmware? it always leads me to oudhitsquad.coms Is there another way to install the stock firmware directly withoud ads? pls reply thanks
