Did something go wrong while flashing a custom file on your Samsung Galaxy S5? Is your device not responding anymore? If so, unrooting can help you solve your issue. What unrooting does is flash the stock firmware on your device, removing everything else that wasn’t put in by the original manufacturer. That way, you get the device back to the stage it was in when you bought it off the store.
Here’s how to unroot your Samsung Galaxy E5:
