Unroot image #1

Hi Ori. I was wondering if it was also possible to have the images you created made so that root can be romoved. I used your boot image to root to remove adware within the system files but certain apps, like banking apps, won't run on rooted devices so would be good to have a boot image to remove the root. Thanks.

Hi. There are several possible scenarios for unrooting:

  1. Restoring the backup of your original boot image (if you have one)
  2. Use cloaking software, to hide the root
  3. Remove /su/bin/su file (permanently or temporarily)

Point 3 can be done using the SuperSU app by unticking the "Enable superuser" option. Furthermore, if necessary, you can uninstall SuperSU for bank apps that refuse to run if SuperSU is installed. To restore the root, you can reinstall SuperSU and reenable the su. Note: after reinstall, untick the "Enable superuser" and then tick to actually restore the su.
