How to Unroot the LG G2 Mini

As long as you’re happy with a custom ROM on your device, you’re good. But if you’re tired of using it and want to get rid of it, unrooting might help you. It’ll help you remove the custom ROM from 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 LG G2 Mini 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).
