For those of you wondering how to “unroot” any rooted Android smartphone or tablet, did you know that you can do that easily with 1-click using the SuperSU app?

This will remove root completely from any rooted Android smartphone or tablet.

Now, if you have custom recovery installed, it will not remove that (you will have to re-install stock recovery or re-install stock firmware), but this will remove root completely for devices that only have root installed.  (E.g. if you have a rooted Droid Razr or One X and rooted without installing custom recovery, this method will completely unroot your device and return it to stock.)

Step 1. If you have SuperSU app already (many root methods use SuperSU), you can skip this step.  If you have SuperUser app installed, download and install SuperSU app (free)  from Play Store.

Step 2.  Run the SuperSU app, go to Settings, and choose “Full unroot”.  That’s it!

You can reboot your phone and should find your Android device completely unrooted.  If you still see SuperSU or Superuser app in your drawer, simply uninstall using Play Store.

Going Further

Unrooting basically involves removing SuperUser.apk file and su binaries.

The Files you need to remove:

/system/bin/su
/system/xbin/su
/system/app/Superuser.apk

Removing these three files removes root from your Android device.

Here’s a video tutorial on how to manually remove these files yourself if you want to learn more about unrooting:
