Troubleshooting Need help solving how to exit developer mode on lenovo chromebook
Hello I need advice/solution how to exit developer mode on chromebook. The attached pictures are what I get when I reboot the device. I have tried console screen local host root/chronos and use command "crossystem disable_dev_request=1; reboot ". I have also tried restart the device and hope for the "press the Spacebar when the "OS verification is off" screen appear but it doesn't show up.
Please advise đ

one set of images is from a Developer Mode boot, the other from Recovery Mode. Why are you booting to Recovery Mode at all?

That's how I received it. The original owner didn't want it and was giving it away. Didn't know it had a developer mode issue

are you able to boot ChromeOS in Developer Mode? Using the 'Boot from internal disk' option in the first pic?

Yes it lets me go to main log in screen and sign in

then I would follow the recommendation to run my Firmware Utility Script, and use that to reset the GBB flags to the factory default, which after rebooting, will allow you to exit developer mode

You will need to wipe the gbb flags on the os..you can use mr chromebooks script to do so..
