Disabling or "unrooting" your Android device can be necessary for various reasons, such as installing official software updates, using certain apps that detect root, or restoring warranty. While the process can vary depending on your device and the rooting method used, one approach, partially outlined in the provided reference, involves using a file management tool like ES File Explorer.
Based on the reference, here's how you might begin the process of disabling root using the ES File tool:
Starting the Unroot Process with ES File Explorer
The provided steps suggest using the ES File tool (referring to ES File Explorer) as a potential method for unrooting your Android device. This method typically involves navigating through the file system to remove or modify files related to the root access.
Here are the initial steps described:
- Download the ES File tool: Obtain the ES File Explorer app from the Google Play Store. This application provides advanced file management capabilities that are often required for unrooting procedures.
- Launch the app: Once the download and installation are complete, open the ES File Explorer app on your Android device. Upon launching, the application presents a wide array of functions and options.
- Navigate the menu: Scroll down through the various menu options provided within the app. You should look for settings or tools within ES File Explorer that relate to system access or root permissions. The reference specifically mentions finding options with button sliders, some of which are enabled (
on) and some disabled (off).
Important Note: The provided reference outlines only the initial steps of using the ES File tool (up to finding the menu with sliders). It does not detail the specific option to select, modify, or disable within the app to complete the unrooting process. A complete unrooting process typically involves specific actions like disabling Superuser/SuperSU, removing root-related system files, and potentially flashing a stock recovery or firmware.
While using a file explorer is part of some manual unrooting methods, relying solely on these initial steps from the reference will not fully disable root on your device. Full unrooting usually requires further steps not described in the provided text.
