    • its very easy to unroot… its either you use this method

      ==>Launch SuperSU app, go to Settings, and tap on ‘Full unroot’.
      It will confirm you just tap continue. After successful, Unroot superuser
      will close automatically
      Restart your device
      Uninstall SuperSU and you are fully unrooted.

      Or this
      ==>Install ES File Explorer (download from playstore)
      Open the app and tap the menu button
      Now tap on ‘Tools’ and select ‘Root Explorer’ to turn it on
      Superuser will ask you to grant privilege or root privileges to the app. Allow it.
      Now go back to the main screen of the app and select ‘/’ in the top corner of the screen.
      ==>Go to system -> bin. Find the busybox and su file and delete them. If you can’t find any of them, just skip to the next step.
      ==>Now go back to the system folder again and open ‘app’ folder and then delete the supeuser.apk file located in the folder. That’s all.

    • WAHALA DEY O… My upgraded hot note lollipop doesn't fast charge again with my follow come charger. imagine my phone saying I have 12 hours left for my phone to b full starting from ²0% battery level.
      Yesterday it took it 4 hours to b fully charged.

      Please what could b wrong… Dunno if it's because of the xposed installer I installed with some apps like greenify, better battery stat plus gravity

      Please come to my aid on the solution o. The phone is just two weeks old.

      Someone advised me to take my battery level to 0% and I did but d problem still persist. imagine charging from 11pm to 4am and my battery is just 42% charged… I wouldn't know if it's because of the xposed installer zip file I installed from recovery, please I want to uninstall it but no option for it in reckvery

      Please am so disturbed

    • This step is working… Please verify that you followed the steps above as stated. Make sure your cable is not faulty. Just follow it step by step and you'll get it done… You need to get a stock recovery for X507 if thats what you re using.
