How to easily & safely unroot any Android device.

Android being an open source platform allows editing its sources and installing whatever the users wants. But, this open source feature doesn’t come out of the box as editing your system files isn’t legal according to most of the smartphone manufacturers. But, most of the users prefer using this feature, commonly known as Rooting. While most of the users enjoy after rooting, few users don’t like it & love to stay with stock because they can’t enjoy OTA updates or might be facing some stability issues. There is also an option for such users i.e unRooting. UnRooting doesn’t claim your warranty back (Its possible with few Samsung, Nexus, LG & HTC device.).
