How to Unroot Google Pixel 4 & Pixel 4 XL | Guide to using Factory Images
Today we're going to be unrooting our Pixel 4 (or 4 XL). This is something you might need to do before flashing a ROM, just unrooting because it wasn't for you, or you're selling the phone! My case is the latter. I'll be returning to my Pixel 3 for the time being, but that's a story for another day.
This video will go over what to download, how to flash the factory images to restore your phone, and finally how to relock the bootloader (an optional, but final step).
You can use any factory image you please (as long as it's for your phone).
Remember to backup and ask questions!
This is a reupload as I mistakenly showed flashing the wrong file and it tripped up a few of you guys. Sorry! New video will be out soon! 👀
