How to Unroot the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE (N7105)

When you install a custom ROM or a Tweak, chances are you may end up with a bricked device and the solution to get back to the original track is install the stock firmware. The stock firmware wipes off all the data on the device and adds the original firmware files, this unroots the device as well. Since the device goes back to stock, it also gets its warranty reinstated, the main advantage of unrooting a device. Luckily, the stock firmware for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE (N7105) is available online and in the following guide, we’ve explained how you can flash it on the device easily.
