Maybe you flashed a kernel on your Samsung Galaxy S4 zoom (LTE) that didn’t work? Maybe you’ve run into issues on your device and you wish to go back to stock? No worries, this guide should teach you how you can unroot your device 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.
