How to Unroot the Samsung Galaxy Grand 2

Think you’ve had all the fun with root-access on your device? Do you wish to go back to the stock firmware? No worries, this guide should help you do that. The guide below unroots the device and sends it back to the original stock firmware, so you can enjoy everything from the very beginning.

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 Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 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).
