How to Unroot the Oppo R7 Lite

Unrooting the Oppo R7 Lite is as easy as rooting it and all it requires you to do is install a couple of apps and you’re good to go. You don’t even have to flash the stock ROM (which erases your device) to unroot the device as these two apps should take care of everything for you.

Once you’ve done the below procedure, you’ll no longer have root access and a custom recovery on your device. You’ll be back to stock recovery and unrooted state. Here’s how:

I. Before You Begin

1. You should’ve rooted your device using our how to root the Oppo R7 Lite procedure.

2. This doesn’t flash a stock ROM on the device; this only removes root access and flashes back the stock recovery.
