How to Unroot the XOLO Q3000
Maybe you crashed your XOLO Q3000 by loading it with tons of root-only apps? Maybe you flashed a custom ROM on your device that does nothing but decrease your performance? Either way, this guide should help you unroot your device and flash back the stock firmware on it. Here you go:
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 XOLO Q3000 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).
