How to Unroot the Alcatel OneTouch Sonic

Maybe you’re going to gift your Alcatel OneTouch Sonic to your friend on her birthday? Maybe you think giving the device with root-access isn’t safe? No worries, you can unroot your OneTouch Sonic and make it as safe as it was when you bought it off the store. 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 Alcatel OneTouch Sonic 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).
