you would have to clear the system cache from the bootloader menu
Please help me, and answer this fast, i have a galaxy ace, and i rooted it, then i installed a custom rom called ics” (ice cream sandwich), now to get the waranty back i’ve gotta unroot it, i also have clockworkmod, and when i reboot into recovery i always seem to only get one option when updating from SD card, i even tried clockworkmanager and installed unroot, then it still wouldn’t work, i still had clockworkmanager and superuser, and i didn’t really take any copies of it, or any backups, is it still safe to unroot without ANY kinds of backups, cause i was all new to rooting, so what now?, is it safe to flash unroot.zip
i have miui v1 how can i unroot it!!?? plzzz!!! :’(
I assume you took the backup of you Stock ROM, simply restore the stock ROM and Try Unroot tool.
