How to Unroot the Samsung Galaxy Music
As long as you’re happy with root-access on your device, you shouldn’t be unrooting it. But if you’re one of those users who’re fed-up of using root and wish to go back to the stock firmware, then here’s something useful for you. The procedure below teaches how to get your Samsung Galaxy Music back to stock and feel like you’ve just bought it from a retail store.
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 Music 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).
