    Default Problems with unrooting Nexus 7

    Heyyo, I've been looking all over the internet but couldnt find any help so here's the problem. I dropped my nexus 7 and the screen cracked so it lost its touch functionality. I wanted to sent it back to google for a new one, but it's rooted and I think that voids the warranty. I can't figure out how to unroot it without touching the screen. The volume & power buttons do work though. I'm not exactly sure what OS it has, but I preordered it when they first came out so it's gotta be the original firmware.The bootloader is 3.34. Can someone walk me through how to unroot this so I can send it back?? THANKS

    if you don't mind wiping the device you can always factory reset it using the stock recovery.

    factory reset wont remove the root!!

    try adb to remove su file from xbin folder and supersuer.apk file from system/apps folder.

    that will remove root.
