Not thinking I flashed twrp recovery before unlocking bootloader and now have the "system software not authorized" warning.
I am downloading the stock image, do I just flash that with odin?
I have been a Motorola guy for years.
Thanks

I bought this a while ago, so I flashed the latest recovery for the Note 2 on CWM, but when I go into recovery, it still goes into the stock recovery. Not sure why. Phone is rooted but the bootloader is not unlocked. Any help would be appreciated, as I've tried just about everything.
You have to be unlocked to install any custom recovery. Please read.
You are lucky you didn't brick.

before you go any farther read the stickies, the read them again, then read them again, maybe even one more time, then flash!

So I've rooted my past two phones and have installed ROMs on them also.. This morning I had it rooted using odin and then tried to get Jedi X on, but screwed up somewhere. Once the download is done I'll use odin and get it back to stock. What do I need to do to get this done properly? I've read a lot but I am still confused..
Thanks in advance for the help.

[GUIDE][VZW Edition]How to Root/Rom/Return to Stock the VZW Galaxy Note II!
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Okay, so I've read that about getting rooted, and I've made it past that step. When I click where it says "Proceed to Adam Outler's thread for unlocking the bootloader HERE" It says on that thread "You are expected to be STOCK.... Stock anything, but stock." So although it would already be rooted, I can follow those instructions?
unlock and root

If you go to galaxy note 2 root dot com ,Max , the guy who runs the site has detailed instructions and videos to go along with it. His videos are super easy to follow and I've never had a problem with any of my phones or tablets when I followed his guides. Actually I was always to nervous to root my devices until I could actually watch the whole process. Sorry about the site address.

Adam's thread is more than easy to follow. Not sure why you think he needs to go to another site...???

No joke. And just from a quick glance, that was posted in December so I would imagine it is outdated given VRALL.
If you just follow adams thread its super easylike 7min.like it says though must be fully stock and non rooted so it might take you like 15min because it sounds like your rooted already so you just need to get back to stock unrooted then follow the instructions

Okay so if I just read all this correctly, I need to
1. Go to Adams thread and follow the steps there.
2. Root it after.
3. I can then flash a ROM
is this correct?
Edit: Just ran casual, worked like a charm after a few minor issues, thanks for all the help!
if i put a custom recovery on my S4 and dont like it. can i restore through odin and that will remove loki? or am i then considered stuck with an unlocked bootloader that voids the warranty?
We don't have a downloader unlock so Odin will take you to stock.

Sorry if it's being asked a lot. I was flashing ROMs last night and I wasn't in the most stable of mind set. Anyway I wake up to a text from my buddy about this update. I remember doing a Samsung update but not an ota and it never went to download mode. How can I tell if I updated it?
I keep seeing VRUAME7 as the new update but this is my current about info and my build is obviously a different rom but my baseband isn't what I see as the before and after screenshot and I just checked my phone with a root checker and it passed. Sorry for being a noob but I came from a gnex! Can anyone give me an idea how to check if I did or if I'm fine?
Sorry I meant to post this in help / q&a not general sorry please move it!!

You're running a custom ROM (CleanROM), so you don't have the update. You do not want to flash the update since it kills root access and prevents the bootloader workaround. This is discussed in nearly every thread in the forum right now.

Yeah I know I don't want the update (not being a ****) just wanted to make sure that somehow I did update to it. I don't plan on updating. Thank you for the info. I was scared for a second. Thank you.

If you updated you wouldn't have a Root and I don't think you'd have a custom ROM.

The update fails if you have a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), which is needed to flash roms. So as long as you have a custom recovery the update can't go through

Thank you. Thanks everyone. I was used to nexus prior to this so I wasn't sure. Thanks for all the answers. I have root, still on CleanRom, build/radio didn't change and can access recovery. Thanks again and sorry that this is in the wrong section.

No problem. I came from the Gnex too and there is definitely a little bit of a learning curve with the S4 modding scene compared to the Gnex. Questions are the only way we learn!

Yes. Especially since I don't fully understand this auto Loki (I understand it flashes a pre release kernel that is insecure hence how I rooted the phone via Odin and motochopper in the first pkace), that and with the boot loader still being locked or at least not unlocked and being bypassed I wasn't 100% positive. Now can I flash the new modem.bin from the update via Odin without messing anything up? From this thread:

Hey everyone,
This is an FYI if you download the latest tmo OTA update: G900TUVU1BNG3
A friend of mine has the SM-G900T (SGS5 from tmo). He was using TowelRoot to gain root on his phone. Well, after the latest OTA from tmo, TowelRoot doesn't work any longer.
We attempted to root via the GalaxyS5Root.com blog, and that didn't work. Evidently after flashing via Odin, the stock recovery would be restored and PhilzTouch CWM Recovery wouldn't be installed. So, we went another route.
We located a posting about CF's Autoroot posting here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2713950
From there we were able to root his phone via CF AutoRoot's ZIP being flashed by Odin.
Anyway, just thought we'd pass this along.
Thanks,
Johnathan
This may very well be important information, but the question before posting in Development should always be, "Is anything created?" - The answer here is "no" so I've moved this thread to General where it belongs. Any confusion as to the rules, please visit the XDA Rules.
Thanks.
