How to Unroot the Samsung Galaxy Mega 2
Maybe you went a bit too far customizing your Samsung Galaxy Mega 2? Maybe you want to have that stock feeling back on your device? Either way, this guide should help you. It’ll show you how to unroot your device and get it back to stock. So that you have a chance to start customizing it from scratch or just use the stock apps that come preloaded 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 Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 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).
