The following guide teaches you how to unroot the OnePlus two smartphone. As most of you will know, the OnePlus two follows on from the success of the first-generation OnePlus One.

Many had feared it wouldn’t be a successful release because of the painfully slow invite system in place to buy the smartphone and the fact that it might not be coming with CyanogenMod. Nevertheless, from all reports the OnePlus Two release has been a success thus far. If you already rooted the OnePlus Two smartphone and want to return back to the stock OnePlus ROM, you can do that by following the guide below.
