How to Unroot the Asus Zenfone 5
Have you had enough playing with your rooted Zenfone 5? Want to remove root-access from it? No problem, this guide is all about unrooting the Zenfone 5. So follow it and get your device unrooted.
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 Asus Zenfone 5 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).
Ready to get started? Here’s how to unroot the Asus Zenfone 5:
I. Before You Begin

Hi Trinadh,
The above procedure doesn’t flash any files on your device, so there’s no chance of getting your device bricked.
It’s really strange that your device isn’t behaving normally. Did you install any other root-only or any other files that you think could have caused the issue?
Let us know.
Thanks!
