How to Unroot the Lenovo Ideapad A1
Maybe you don’t find the root-only apps safe for yourself? Maybe you want to unroot your device to get rid of such apps? Either way, this guide should help you unroot your Lenovo Ideapad A1 and remove the custom recovery from 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 Lenovo Ideapad A1 are:

- Starting over (simply undoing everything you did while rooted so you can have a clean slate to start over).
