How to save Xdocument without root nodes

I have soap serialized xml file in append mode to file which will result in multiple root nodes like this

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:clr="http://schemas.microsoft.com/soap/encoding/clr/1.0" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">

I have did like this to load XDocument 

 StreamReader Sr = new StreamReader(filename);
 XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse("<rootnode>" + Sr.ReadToEnd() + "</rootnode>");

Then I did some modification to doc finally I want it save without root nodes and 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

When I do 

doc.Save(filename);

I want to save it without root nodes because again I can deserialize the file

So please provide me any alternative way to achieve....

thanks in advance

This will get you the xml without the root nodes.

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
doc.Root.Elements().ToList().ForEach(x => sb.Append(x.ToString()));
string xmlWithoutRootNodes = sb.ToString();
File.WriteAllText("file", xmlWithoutRootNodes);
