I was trying to load CM7 and now I'm tanked. My screen is stuck on the "Red M w/ Dual Core Technology" screen and at the top it says "FAILED TO BOOT 2" then "STARTING RSD MODE".
I pull the battery and put it back in but the same screen comes up and stays there.
Please, any/all advice would be greatly appreciated. I need this phone for work. (I know, I know. Why was I messing with my work phone. Please save that for later. I need this back running.)
Thanks.
Can you boot it into recovery or fastboot?
alright, there's a few things i need to know before we can get to helping you.
what type of Atrix do you have? (International, AT&T, Bell, etc. etc.)
is your device Unlocked? (did you apply the Pudding files and go through the whole 'fastboot oem unlock' process?)
do you have the most up to date Recovery installed? (either Romracer's recovery or CWM Recovery from Rom Manager)
answer those and get back to me asap please, don't want your battery to die before you have a chance to fix your device or you'll have to hack apart a USB cable.
1. AT&T
2. NO clue
3. Yes

alright, go here and download the AT&T pudding file.
IF YOU HAVE EVER DID THE OTA UPDATE TO GINGERBREAD THROUGH AT&T, OR YOUR DEVICE CAME WITH GINGERBREAD FROM AT&T, YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE TO THE FROYO VERSION OR YOU WILL HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
alright, now that we have that over with, grab the pudding file and flash it with RSD Lite. (boot into RSD mode on your phone, plug it into your computer, and flash away!)
after that, let me know how things go.
Really, you have no clue if your bootloader is unlocked and you tried to flash a ROM.... do people even read OPs anymore????

Now it says "BATTERY IS TOO LOW TO FLASH". I've had my phone plugged in all day but it's not charging.
What now?
P.S. My wife has the same phone so when she comes home I could swap batteries.

If he installed ba2tf it doesn't mention anything about bootloader in the OP.
I did install ba2tf.zip and tried to install it with CWM as instructed and that's what caused all this.

I did this exact same thing with one atrix forgetting to unlock the bootloader. I was at least able to fastboot.
Any one else get a flaming mad PM from this guy about how your an intolerant a$$hole, and you don't help anybody, so fourth and so on??
Man, if you can't take something as simple as my nothing of a comment, your never gonna make it in these threads... just wait till you post some stupid thing in a dev thread. You're gonna think someone $hit in your lunch box.
*This is gonna get him fired up... The only person you should be mad at for jacking up your phone, is yourself, b/c your obviously an idiot, who just flashes things without a clue.

Put the phone into download mode, and then flash stock with Odin. If you can't get to download mode the usual way, then try this:
Pull the battery and leave it out. Hold down one or both of the volume buttons and plug in the USB cable. The phone should boot to download mode. The USB cable will provide the power.
I was noobish enough to do this too. And spend a good 2 getting my phone back. But I was just being dumb and wasn't paying attention

The following assumes that you want to return to a custom firmware such as the CM9 that you had.
Follow this guide using method 2C to flash stock plus root firmware. The directions are complete enough that you should be able to follow them.
Then continue with one of the options in section 3 to install a custom Gingerbread kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery. Then you can flash the firmware of your choice.
If you have any questions along the way, ask them here. I'll try to keep an eye on this thread this evening.
If you would rather return to stock and not root, use my other guide.
i now have it on the stock firmware but i tried flashing cm9 and there was an error: "E: failed to verify whole-file signature" and "E:signature verification failed"
any help?
thanks

@CNoe,
The reason you're getting answers that seem rude to you is because your question is so basic. This is the kind of stuff that you really need to know before flashing your phone. Even though I pointed you to a guide to follow it looks like you didn't fully read or comprehend it. If you had followed the guide you would not have gotten that error.

If nobody tells you that you're in the wrong and you aren't following the rules, how would you know? Its obvious that you didn't think the rules of the forum don't apply to you, but rest assured that if you are on this site you are expected to search and make an attempt to help yourself. If you wanted a help desk you should contact Samsung or at&t. XDA isn't a helpdesk for all your cell phone troubles. Think of it as more of a knowledge base, as all this info has already been typed up for you, is searchable, and available for you at all times.

in short, i was being impatient, the phone has been acting really wierd, i got the phone from a friend, only had it for 2 days.
So you haven´t flashed any sbf via RSD yet? (NOT RECOMMENDED)
Please try the steps described in the link we gave you - if you manage to access rsd or fastboot again, you could save the device
Edit:
The device still has a locked bootloader?

Travis, not to sound rude, but did you read my first post? i have been reading and trying different things for over 5 hours now and nothing yet has worked. that is why i created a new topic.
i apologize if i posted this topic in the wrong place, there were other topics relating to similar things.
First, questions go in Q&A. Second, don't pay attention to Travis - not worth your time.
Third, you are probably SOL (hard bricked). Not much hope if the automated method didn't work. You can look here to see if anything helps. Good luck!
what i would personally do is download the full SBF pudding file that corresponds to your phone type, and flash it. not the unlocker file, the full .sbf that includes all the firmware and everything.
after that, do a fastboot OEM unlock command
if that doesn't solve your problem, then it's a hard brick.
are you on at&t

The title says it all. Nothing good can come of flashing with Odin except returning to stock. Stick with CWM or TWRP flashable zip files. If you disregard this message you will end up with a locked device, or even worse, a hard bricked device. Please use Odin as a factory restore tool only. I'm concerned that after unlock using our methods that people will flash the wrong thing and cause problems in the future.
The unlock method we have provided is not a standard Bootloader Unlock. It is an IROM unlock. This means you can quite literally flash anything to your device without any sort of signature checks. It is important that you stay safe and try to stay away from Odin unless absolutely necessary.

Yup! I can already see the threads starting.... It is good to know that we can still use Odin though cause I was under the impression that Odin was a no-go at this point... So flashing the factory image from imnuts would be the best resort to get back to stock if we needed to return a device?

In Androidstyle's guide thread, Adam asked him to point the unlock guide to his unlock thread, but I don't see an unlock thread from Adam, only the Revision3 thread which has no steps to unlock.

It's in "Verizon Galaxy Note II Android Original Development". Go up one level and you'll see it. There are only two threads there so it shouldn't be too hard to find.
I don't mean to sound mean but if you really can't figure out how to get to his unlock thread do you really think it's a good idea to be unlocking your bootloader? Maybe you should just stick to a rooted image and read up and learn for awhile before jumping in over your head

To be fair, the distinction between "Android development" and "Original Android development" is new for many of us. I, too, was wondering how to get back to this thread since I tend to browse XDA through bookmarks instead of the site hierarchies. I didn't realize there was an "original Android development" section until after I double checked the name on the thread jumper. It's not that one is technologically illiterate (I got through all this in one fell swoop with no issues and have rooted and unlocked every phone I've owned since the G1), it's just that it's different. Last device I had didn't have a section for original development, so it wasn't immediately obvious to me (though I quickly understood what it was for). so cut him some slack and just kindly point him to the right direction. I know you said you weren't trying to sound mean, but if you really weren't trying to sound mean you could have just helped him out without all of the extra, unnecessary commentary. You know what they say about assumptions, after all.
Just got the Note 2 on verizon and loving it so much I'm going to hold off for a bit before unlocking & rooting. Normally on all my android phones that is done day 1... but this time w/ the dev community just now unlocking it, I think I'm going to wait a few weeks.
In context, imnuts has put out a Recovery flash-able version of CWM. If one tries his CWM but wants to go back to TWRP then currently it seems that one need to ODIN it. To Adam Outler's point it would be safer to have a Recovery flash-able version of TWRP. [?]

That's what I figured , I thought I'd ask the dumb question to explicitly clarify it.
So I think I messed up somehow. I tried to flash from Aroma to CWM 10.1. I wiped well but CWN failed to install and somehow it seems the bootloader locked and Odin will not see my Verizon Note 2. How the hell am I supposed to fix this, I dont think the Verizon still will help meh.

If I try to get into my TWRP it get the software message. I cannot start the phone, if I try to I get the boot logo then it shuts off. Really think im screwed here
Let's clarify. You tried to install cwm, it failed and now your phone says unauthorized software take to Verizon? Your post honestly doesn't make sense. Oh and now Odin won't see your phone?
If this is correct then your phone is far from screwed up. Very common it's what happens when you don't unlock the bootloader. So let's get your phone seen by Odin. Are you in download mode? What os is your computer? Have you trired different usb ports? Are drivers installed?

If this is correct then your phone is far from screwed up. Very common it's what happens when you don't unlock the bootloader. So let's get your phone seen by Odin. Are you in download mode? What os is your computer? Have you trired different usb ports? Are drivers installed?
Oh ya Here's A Little reading material for you

Seeing as when I tried to switch to CWM I was already on Aroma I am confused as to how my bootloader got locked. I have been installing, uninstalling all over the place. in fact im still doing it. to answer your questions: yes,7 and 8,yes,covered.
And believe me I know that article inside and out. If I could get my odin to work Id be in fields of gold. Conveniently I have a new computer arriving today that I will try to get it to work with. It seems that my computer cant figure out how to communicate with it.
It calls it a "Gadget Serial" downloading PC studio didnt seem to help

You can't be on aroma. Aroma is a method used by ROM devs to allow the user to select options during install of their ROM. There are two recoveries, CWM and TWRP.
So you are seeing unauthorized software? Then your bootloader is locked, if it was unlocked then we'll figure that out later.
You should see gadget serial. Is it installing the drivers for that? How did you install drivers, Windows update our manually?

Okay, thanks for clarifying. That is a little strange then. I mean did you let Windows download the drivers for you, which you answered. You can try to put phone in download mode and keep plugging and unplugging it (give it time to recognize it first). There was a guy that said it eventually just recognized hos phone after 16 times. You did restart your computer correct?

So I think I messed up somehow. I tried to flash from Aroma to CWM 10.1. I wiped well but CWN failed to install and somehow it seems the bootloader locked and Odin will not see my Verizon Note 2. How the hell am I supposed to fix this, I dont think the Verizon still will help meh.

Someone woke up on the butthurt side of bed this morning
You're most likely not bricked if it will turn on at ALL! Here's what you need to do:
1. Make sure your computer is setup with the proper drivers/ODIN.
2. Go here and download the stock ODIN image
3. Get a different USB cord you know works or try the most rearest USB port and put your phone in ODIN mode as stated above.
4. If ODIN doesn't recognize your phone, restart the computer with it plugged in and unplug it and replug it...
5. Flash ODIn in the PDA, not the Phone section (Follow the directions given by Imnuts).
That should fix you up, if it doesn't, chances are you missed a step. Good luck:victory:

You didn't win, since you don't know what you did wrong. You should read a lot more before you mess up this phone. Give it time and you probably will be in the same place again. Read, read read read read and did I mention read???? Better luck though with your new device

Well did ALL that before. Surprise none of it worked. I'm not going to repeat the same process over and over. I'm pretty sure I know why I couldn't get it to work, and I know what went wrong even though I'm not sure how managed it. And getting a new scratch free phone for no cost sounds pretty good.

If you went thru VZW and they are shipping you a new phone then it isnt new. They send out refurbished phones as replacements, I think they referr to them as CLN phones.
