How to Unroot the Gionee Elife E6
Maybe you’ve had enough playing with your rooted Gionee Elife E6? Maybe you want to unroot it and get it back to stock? No problem, this guide should help you do exactly that. The procedure below teaches how you can unroot your device and flash back the stock firmware on 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 Gionee Elife E6 are:
- Sending in the device for warranty (most, but not all unrooting procedures reinstate the manufacturer warranty if you had one before rooting).
