Maybe things didn’t go well after you flashed a custom ROM on your SM-T555? Maybe the root-requiring apps accidentally deleted a system file and now your device won’t boot-up? Either way, the following guide should help you.

Unrooting your device means you’re removing the root-access from your device by flashing back the stock ROM. A stock ROM is the complete and untouched operating system that has been developed by the manufacturer of your device. It only contains the tools that let you do limited customizations so that you don’t end-up bricking your device.
