How to Unroot Any Android Device

Rooting any Android device is becoming very easy nowadays and the same should be said for unrooting Android devices too.

For one reason or the other, unrooting of Android may be needed either to correct an issue or to avoid voiding the warranty when presenting the device to manufacturers for swapping or repairs

Which ever reason it is, the tutorial below should help unroot your Android device whether Samsung, HTC, Tecno etc.

Requirements
1.   Rooted android device 
2. Device with Clock World Mod installed not supported (requires more steps than the ones stated)

Procedures
1. Go to Play Store and download ES File Explorer. Don't move to SD card.

2. Launch app, click on the slash button



3. Tap the phone menu button to reveal new options 

4. tap Root Explore setting it to ON



5. Superuser will ask you to grant super privilege or root privileges to the app. Allow it

6. Now go to the System folder as shown in the image below, then bin folder, then find su file. Long press SU to select and then delete.



7. Now go into xbin folder which is also located in the System folder

8. Delete the su file there


9. Now go to app folder, also located in the System folder and delete the Superuser.apk file shown in the image


10. Finally reboot your device. That's all, very easy

Your Android device would immediately be unrooted after doing this.

      If you followed the steps you should be able to delete the files.I hope File Explorer has root priviledges. Alternatively, connect your phone to PC and go to the location I described to delete the files.

    I got to step 6 and there is no su file. Went to step 7 and there is. Was afraid to delete until I checked it's ok to do step 7 even though didn't do step 6.

    Thanks.

    Nothing. Rooting just open manufacturer placed locked files and attributes. It's when you start installing apps that need root acess that you need to be watchful and understand what you're doing

Tecno M3 Specifications and Features

Tecno is making the news again after a slight break. This time around Tecno have released a low-end smartphone called Tecno M3 for those that are on a tight budget.  This phone comes with 8GB internal memory card, USB adapter & charger, earphone and a plastic case. Although Tecno L3 and D3 are almost the same with M3, M3 has a better camera (5mp) with more swift feel especially when browsing. L3 on the other hand has a better battery performance but much slower internet speed. As we said in one of our posts, the 3 is a designation for low-end devices and the newly released L3 and M3 is proof of that. For a device of the price, feel and usage is smooth enough.

There are no limit to the possibilities one can achieve on a rooted Android device compared to one that isn't rooted. As you know, Rooting is to Androin as Jailbreak is to iOS.

Total control means that you have the right to install any applications or even delete core applications that you don't want.  Simply put, you have administrative rights over your device, giving  you super user access, and of course, you can use DroidVPN to have free unlimited internet.

How To Unbrick Tecno F7 Smartphone

About a week ago, a friend rooted his Tecno Phantom A smartphone. He was so excited about the endless possibilities to customize his device so he kept installing a lot of applications that caught his attention unaware of the dangers some apps can create on rooted smartphones. Finally, he installed an application called Font Changer Lite and that was when it all happened. After installing this app, his phone attempted to reboot and instead of booting normally, the phone froze at the Tecno logo. It wasn’t going passed that state. He couldn’t boot into his phone. Practically, his phone was bricked and had to look for a way to unbrick and use his phone again. If you are presently in the same limbo state as described, please follow the instructions below step by step to fix your device. I recommend reading through first before actually starting the process. Kudos to Seunpayne of Nairaland for uploading his files for download and also giving instructions on the usage.
