How to Unroot the Galaxy Camera (without a trace of ever being rooted)

This is my Tutorial on how to unroot the Samsung Galaxy Camera EK-GC100.
This method is safe and you will be able to avail warranty if you need to once you are done with this procedure.
With this method your binary/flash counter returns to zero and the firmware says official instead of custom/modified.

Step by Step Procedure to Unroot the Samsung Galaxy Camera EK-GC100

Go to the play store and download [root]Triangle Away. 
This is a paid app and I highly recommend you buy it to support the developer Chainfire (Highly Respected in the Samsung Galaxy Community).
If you still insist on not wanting to pay for it, You can google the apk file or find it from xda where Chainfire has posted it for free.
Step 3:
Follow the instructions from the app and reset the counter to 0.

Head on over to Samfirmware and search as shown below and download the latest Galaxy Camera firmware for your region.
