How to Unroot the Gionee Elife E3
So you thought flashing a custom ROM on your Gionee Elife E3 would satisfy all of your needs but ended-up being disappointed? No worries, you can flash back the stock firmware on your device and enjoy all the features your manufacturer has included in the firmware. Here’s how:
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 E3 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).
