About this guide
This is a quick and easy guide to get rid of the ROOTED status in download mode on G2 devices.
By doing this, you will return to the factory look of download mode with it showing UNROOTED.
Special Note
I have only tested this on my LG-D802. I do NOT know if this works on other G2 devices.
Therefore, please report back whether it works for you so I can add your device to the OP.
Requirements
LG USB Drivers (Easy to find & install - Google is your friend)
Your G2 must be rooted to use this.
USB Debugging must be enabled in Developers Options.
A software to extract the attached .zip file.
Notepad++
Instructions
Connect your G2 to your PC using MTP. At this point, USB debugging is not necessary. If phone is not recognized, then install/reinstall USB drivers.
Now head into PC - right click on your phone and hit properties. Copy this line as shown in this screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Download the attached .zip and extract the content to anywhere you like.
Open rct.cfg using Notepad++. Now delete SERIAL because here you shall paste the serial number of your phone which you copied earlier.
You must now enable USB Debugging in Developers Options. It does not matter if you had it enabled earlier or not.
Cant find Developers Options? Enter Settings - General - About Phone - Software Information - hit buildnumber 7 times and go back to Settings menu.
Open the file named install from the extracted .zip and give it root access on your phone.
Done. Download mode will now show UNROOTED.
OPTIONAL: You can now flash KDZ/TOT file if you want to fully return to stock. The status in download mode will remain unrooted after flashing a stock firmware.

Here's full guide to unroot/upgrade/unbrick your Note 3 neo LTE by flashing stock firmware via Odin
You are doing everything at your own responsibility, but if you follow this guide step by step, you won't brick your device.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Before you proceed, make sure:
1. You have charged your phone to 100%
2. You have Note 3 Neo LTE(SM-N7505), not N750 or something different
3. You have installed Kies and drivers on your PC
4. You have backed up all your data, if you don't need it, just skip this step
5. You have disabled Kies and firewall
6. You have downloaded Odin and firmware
Downloads:
Odin v3.09: http://d-h.st/d4G
Stock Firmware: http://sammobile.com/firmwares - Go to Firmware database/Smartphone/Android/SM-N7505-Galaxy Note 3 Neo LTE/Select your country
How to Flash:
1. Turn off your phone and go to download mode by pressing Power + Volume down + Home. Once you're there, press Vol up. You will see Downloading with Android logo and phone info.
2. Unzip Odin package and stock firmware package on your PC
3. Connect your phone to PC - Use stock USB cable for best compatibility
4. Open odin - Select Run as administrator. You will see the COM port of your phone in ID:COM box, it will turn blue and Added in the message box.
5. Click to PDA and select downloaded firmware. Make sure you have checked Auto Reboot, F.Reset time and nothing else. Now press start.
6. The box will turn Blue with Reset! message. Your phone will reboot.
Note: I reccomend to make hard reset after flashing stock firmware.
You need three things besides your phone:
You lost data/wifi when flashing a CM UPDATE, this is your fault for not reading the threads, The FIX IS BELOW, in simple, plain english, easy to understand. DON'T MAKE ME DRAW PICTURES
1) Android SDK
https://developer.an.../sdk/index.html
Download it and install it. I'll only describe it for Windows OS.
2) The correct ROM
https://download.cya.../?device=enrc2b
or from my CM-12.1/AOSP threads
Download it and open it with WinRAR or Winzip or just unpack the whole thing. Directly in the root folder you'll see a file called boot.img
3) USB Cable connection between the phone and your PC
Connect the device to your PC. On your phone go to settings and enable USB debugging.
Now you are ready to flash the boot image.
a) copy the boot.img to the same folder as fastboot
if you downloaded the package from above, you'll see a folder structure that is a bit overwhelming. Navigate to
C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140702\sdk\platform-tools
and copy the file called boot.img from the ROM there.
B) open up the terminal
click on start and enter cmd.exe
enter the folder with
cd /
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140702\sdk\platform-tools
c) start the flashing
Now type:
adb reboot bootloader
or alternatively, restart your phone manually and press the buttons Power and Volume down until you see a white menu screen.
Now type:
fastboot devices
and you should see your phone
d) flash the boot.img
type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
That's it, 3G and WiFi should work now. A more extensive How-To can be found here:

Taken from my thread of the same title from the CM forums

Hey,@ Lloir
Ive tried this for my stock ROM that ive reverted to after having cyanogenmod 11, but it didnt work, I used the same boot.img from the firmware.zip. it did work successfully when reverting to cyanogen after it didn't work though.
What have I missed?
Any help would be appreciated.
Hey all!
I have a Light Phone 2 which uses Android 8.1. It's a neat little device that I'd love to tinker with. There is a detailed guide explaining the build process ontop of Android 8.1. The TL;DR is the Light Phone uses LightOS which is another word for an app that site on Android 8.1 that has lower-level access, similar to how the settings app works.
There is a medium post outlining the build process entitled Building LightOS with React Native. I cannot link to it as I do not qualify for the 10 post minimum. So you'll have to google it.
I can get to the Android recovery screen. Although from there I can't do anything. As adb is locked to only sideload and mounting the system produces no results on my Linux machine.
I realize very few people have this device and can comment from experience but does anyone have any idea how to go about rooting this phone? Or getting it to a state to begin tinkering?
Thanks!

Before starting to try to root phone's Android test whether you can enable these 2 options in Android's Settings -> Developer options:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If YES then you have to find a Custom Recovery matching your device what is prerequisite to flash any Rooting software.

Unfortunately, that is the thing, the phone does not have these settings available. I was hoping there would be a way to do this directly from the recovery menu
@kennethashley You can access the recovery menu by power and volume up at the same time. When you reach the screen that says "no command" press power first, then volume up, then quickly release volume up first then power. There, you should be able to put the phone into recovery mode.
you can then put the phone into fastboot mode and use adb tooling to enable oem unlocking so you can root the device.

My Duel2 was stucked at FastBoot after using RSA yesterday..

This worked on my Duel 2 - GLOBAL (12.5.188ST)
ROM downloaded from:
romprovider.com/lenovo-legion-2-pro-firmware
(theres also a EEA ROM you can download)
Or you can download your ROM from the RSA app by entering your IMEI
Heres what I did:
*Install Qualcomm USB Driver
(Https://gsmusbdriver.com/install-qualcomm-usb-driver) then restart PC
*Install QPST 2.7.496
(http://qpsttool.com/qpst-tool-v2-7-496)
After installing qpst, locate its folder on your pc, mines on C: Program Files (x86)/ Qualcomm/ QPST/ bin... then open the QFil file in the bin folder.
On QFil:
*select Flat Build
*On the Programmer Path, click Browse, select where your extracted ROM folder is, then select " prog_firehose_ddr.elf " file then click open.
*Click Load XML, and select ALL .xml files
*Select ALL patch
*on your powered OFF Duel 2, press & hold POWER, +VOL, -VOL simultaneously, when the Legion Logo flashes, plug your USB cable on the Left side Type-C port
*On QFil, click Select Port and select your Phone if it doesnt automatically selected when you plug it.
*Click DOWNLOAD
"The QFil app on the QPST folder fixed the error The system cannot find the file specified"
Hope this helps
i was stuck in fastboot for the last 2 days. the backup i had saved using miracle thunder box didnt work and neither did this. But it got a lot further in the boot sequence before resetting lol. So i took the backup i had of my phone, fastboot flashed the persist image over and it booted right up. not sure if it was just coincidence but it reset 3-4 times on me before flashing the image over. Doesnt help those who are already screwed but helps others prepare before attempting an update
ฉันลองทุกขั้นตอนแล้ว แต่ไม่ได้ผล โปรดช่วยฉันด้วย
thank you that was really helpful i didnt know about select all i was selecting 1 after another thank you again for the detailed steps
