Trying to unroot back to stock to sale it.
been on shabbys page files are not doing it for me.
any help...... to the right page.
 
Run SuperSu. Prwess the menu and prepare it for uninstallation. Uninstall it.
Connect the phone to your computer. (Have the driver and adb installed.) Go to a command prompt.

adb shell
su
rm /system/bin/busybox
rm /system/bin/su

(If you get a file not found on either of the 'rm' lines, ignore it.)

Your phone should be unrooted. (Actually just removing su will unroot it, but leaving busybox and SuperSu will show that it's been rooted.)
