I updated the guide,

There are 3 steps, one is to root, 2nd is to remove icon and 3rd is to unroot. Just do the 1st and 2nd part.

I confirm it works. It went away the third time I rebooted. I only did step 2. I was already rooted.

Thanx!

So just unistalling SuperSU and rebooting gets rid of the Custom icon, but you are still rooted?

Also I just realized.

Going to system settings >about device >status

Device status says "official" again. Woot!
