How to Unroot the Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (Korean)
Korean version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE uses the same method to gain root-access as its other siblings, and fortunately, the unrooting procedure is quite identical (except for a few files). So, if you wish to unroot your Korean Galaxy S3 LTE for any reason, here’s how you can do that:
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 S3 LTE (Korean) 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).
