How to Unroot the LG Intuition
Having issues on your LG Intuition? Maybe you should flash back the stock firmware on your device and see if it resolves the issues you’re facing on your device. Here’s how to unroot your LG Intuition and get it back to stock:
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 Intuition 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).
