Hey Guys,
Hope you can help me, a friend asked me to root his Galaxy S3.
I did this using the Framaroot App and all was fine, but now SKY Go does not work on his device as Sky don't like rooted devices !!

He has now asked if i can unroot his device.

How can I remove superuser and the binaries so that the app will work?

Hope that someone can help.

Cheers

Or go into settings in SuperSU, scroll down to the bottom and select Full Unroot (Cleanup for permanent unroot)

Dude,
Thanks for the advice, I have now managed to unroot the device.

Forgot about unroot option in superuser....What a noob..LOL :D

Thanks for your help

Thanks

Its alright using superuser, but it depends how you rooted and what you want to achieve. Yes it removes root from the rom, but it will leave it with a custom recovery if you had one.
Dude,

I rooted using Framaroot, but have not installed any recovery on the device at the moment.

The issue was with the Sky Go app which dont like rooted devices.

Might see if I can modify the apk so that it can run on rooted devices.

Thanks for the help .
