Is there a way to unroot without factory reset? Basically the only reason I want to root is getting the Hotspot enabled but now my company is not allowing me to connect to exchange server with rooted device. I would hate to do a factory reset and loose my hotspot feature. Any way around this? I've tried using xposed rootcloak but unsuccessful so far. TIA

Do you have SuperSU app on your phone? if yes, open the app, go to settings, scroll down and you'll see Full Unroot

Thanks zlebors, I didn't know that option existed. I got it now, working as I wanted with unroot and hotspot enabled on my unlimited data plan. Tks.

Typically when you full unroot through supersu it still shows system custom. I don't know if your exchange server sees that or not.
Have you tried fake system status in Wanam exposed along with root cloak?
Beware of the incoming ota! Be sure you have sdm and fota froze so you don't take ota and loose tether.

I have tried rootcloak from xposed with many com & app, nothing seems to work. I ended up installed nonroot rom, connecting to exchange server, turned off exchange auto sync, root, installed xposed, mototether from xposed, reboot, uninstalled xposed & mototether, reboot & to ensure hotspot continues to work, unroot using simply unroot from app store & reboot. Hotspot & email remain working.
