I tried to do AdamOutler's unlock bootloader stuff, and when i flashed the unlocked bootloader file in his thread i got a boot loop, so i tried to flash the stock bootloader file also in his thread. now i get the yellow triangle saying i need to take it back to the store. i can still flash with odin and i just tried to flash the unlocked bootloader again and now i get a fail message in odin.
please help!
even if i can get back to the bootloop i'm willing to take it back to verizon at this point. i just dont want to do that with the yellow triangle, i could just make up some something for the bootloop.
Have you tried flashing back with the stock odin image?

the first thing you ever do before flashing anything on your device is have a stock rom to odin back on. second your not following directions. third your device is not bricked...flashing back to stock will bring it back.
I'm having a similar issue. I had followed adam's protocol for rooting and unlocking using CASUAL; once the process was completed I received a notification claiming that my device was now 'rooted and unlocked.' I then proceeded to download ROM manager and flash clockwork recovery and upon reboot receive the 'system software not authorized' message. At this point I attempted to use the official ODIN provided in droidstyle's guide on root/unlock/etc thread. I see a successful flash of the image but still cannot get out of the unauthorized system software error. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

i did! that's why i was a bit surprised that it didn't work. i downloaded both the VRALJB 4.1.1 stock image and pit file, placed them into their corresponding locations in ODIN and flashed away. should i be allowing ODIN to repartition the disk? (thanks for the help droidstyle!)

Hello i was trying to root my phone, and boot into clockwork recover but now the phone is just stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. (Yellow Triangle.)
Could anyone tell me where to find SGH-1717R Stock firmware? or a link to a to newer clockwork file?
I was trying to flash "odin_n1717_cwm_recovery_b4" into the PDA section in ODIN when the problem occurred. Perhaps i did something wrong.

I have a Rogers I717R and I used odin_n1717_cwm_recovery_b4.tar to apply a custom recovery to my phone, so you should be good as long as that file is not corrupt. Did you follow this method and did not have the wrong items checked in odin? http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/ You didn't pull the cable too early?
Maybe pull the battery, reboot the pc, enter into download mode and try to install CWM again.
Just a reminder, getting a custom recovery to stick on a Canadian Note requires an extra step because of a script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775263
Just in case, here is an odin file that will reinstall the stock Rogers ICS ROM for you: http://www.samsdroid.com/2012/07/i717ruxlf4-android-404-canada-rogers.html
I know this is beating a dead horse but I am relatively new to this.
A friend of mine was doing a standard software update (no flashing), and apparently it got stuck in ODIN mode. Based on the info I have found, it appears to be hard bricked.
I have never flashed an S2 before and I am confused as to what to do to get the phone functioning again.
Can someone post step by step instructions along with what files I need to get this phone working
Thanks
Happy to help if we can, but we need more information.
I assume from what you say that the attempt was to upgrade to the most current operating system via Kies? And during the update, the update failed taking the phone to "odin mode" screen?
Please verify this, or correct it.

Yes that is what he is saying. I wasn't there when he attempted to update the S2, but he contacted me via Facebook looking for assistance
You can flash exactly the same stock firmware that Kies would have upgraded the phone to using Odin and a Windows PC. The only difference is that the installed programs and user settings will be lost.
First go to the Download Repository (link in signature) and find the link to download Odin3 v1.85 near the top of the page, and get that. You will also need the "Samsung USB driver for mobile phones" installed on the Windows PC. If you don't have that, you can get it from the Samsung website.
Now go to the bottom of the Download Repository page and get the latest stock firmware from the section titled I777UCMD8 Stock Binaries (Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean).
Boot into recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset. Then, flash that in Odin. If you are unfamiliar with the process, I'll be happy to post instructions.

Thanks for the offer, but he apparently got a new S3 last night as he couldn't be bothered to wait. Kinda rushed the gun I think, but hey not my phone or account so I don't care

Oh man, this advice saved me when I attempted to flash a Siyah kernel on my stock i777. I was able to get back to the stock 2.3 w root using your one click flash, but I am having trouble getting anything else to work. I attempted to flash CMW and various ROMs but I always get the
"e failed to verify whole-file signature" and have gotten no where. I cant even get past installing clockworkorange without seeing that error.
Thanks

"e failed to verify whole-file signature" means you are trying to flash custom (unsigned) firmware with stock 3e recovery. You must install a custom kernel which contains a custom ClockworkMod recovery in order to flash custom firmware.
Please read through the guide How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash counter!! linked in my signature in order to grasp the principles involved. Just remember that guide is old. If you flashed the latest stock firmware, you should use Framaroot to root the phone, then use Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin Pro to flash the custom kernel. If you are on UCMD8 you can use the AJK v4.9 No Swap kernel.
Edit: Just re-read your post - wasn't paying attention. So evidently you are still on stock gingerbread with root. You need to flash a custom Gingerbread kernel. Try this one. You can use the tar directly in Mobile Odin.
Or alternatively, go to the Download Repository and flash the stock UCMD8 from the bottom of the page. Then follow the second paragraph above.
Hello, as you guys have already figured out, I am new to rooting. In trying to use Odin to flash CWM into the S II, the phone will not boot after logo. Even when attempting to boot into recovery mode the phone just loops back to the logo. I think I messed up big time. Thanks for reading.
Your post tells us that you're trying to get a different recovery onto the device; it would be very helpful to know what you flashed.
Recovery on the i777 is packaged with the kernel, so you will gain a custom recovery by flashing an appropriate kernel. I don't think that the recovery can be installed separately on this device.
using desktop Odin to flash anything other than stock firmware will result in tripping the flash counter, and the phone will display the yellow triangle as the initial boot screen. Flashing custom firmware via desktop ODIN does NOT necessarily mean that the device won't boot, which leaves me wondering what you flashed.
What is your goal? It will be easier to direct you once we are properly aware of where you were, and what you are aiming to achieve.

Thanks for replying to my post. The first thing I flashed via Odin was the CWM KitKatcompatible tar file and that was when the problem started. Right now I'm trying to get the S II to boot past the logo.

Do you know what version of Android was running on the device before you flashed cwm?
My recommendation is to return to stock.
First, download the stock 4.1.2 Jellybean Full distribution, I777UCMD8 from the Download Repository. It's the next to last item near the bottom. The downloaded file is in seven-zip (.7z) format and you need to extract the contents using an archiving program. The resulting file, which will have a ...tar.md5 extension, is the file you will use in step 7 below. Also download Odin3 v1.85. There is a link near the top of the page in the Repository.
How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:
Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.
1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.
2.) Have the USB cable plugged into USB port on the computer, but *Not* plugged in to the phone.
3.) Shut the phone off.
4.) While holding down the vol+ & vol- keys, plug micro-usb plug into phone.
5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.
6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.
7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.
8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.
9.) Click the Start button.
10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.
11.) When complete, you will get a PASS (or FAIL if unsuccessful).
[...]
Once you have the phone up and running, Framaroot with the Aragorn exploit is the easiest way to root.

So it turns out that CWM worked for me. So I proceeded to install the 4.4 ROM haha silly me. Thanks for your help though!.
Hi i was trying to flash cwm but now when i boot my phone all i see is samsung galaxy note 3 and on the top left it says :
Recovery booting...
recovery is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit:recovery
It just keeps rebooting i took out the battery and it still does this! I cant get into download mode or anything please help.
I used the odin root file (like a re-root) to fix this when it happened to me
Yep me too
More details like android version...the recovery filename would help. As others have stated, try flashing the cf-autoroot file for the SM-N900P
My guess is that your recovery isnt there. This happened to me once and I fixed it by reflashing TWRP thru Odin

No such thing as a odin root file, jpeery88 is correct just didn't say it quite right. First odin is software used to install (flash) rom and recovery (files) into your device (phone). ROMS are stock or custom and rooted. You need to get into download mode to install a custom recovery first before you can flash a custom rom. Click on ROM flashing basics in my signature for more info on how to get into download and recovery modes, root your device and more . . .

This was normally a job for a USB jig. I've not found anything for a note 3 though. You might take the battery out over night and try again.
Maybe with the sd card out as well.
Finally I think I've read an attempt with battery out but plugged into power.
after that its punt and buy a "new to you" one on ebay; they're like $140 now a days.
I started the night by downloading a rooted kernel for the phone and installed that using ODIN. All good.
Next I installed a TWRP recovery image using the flashify application from the app store. That works and were still good.
Then I had to flash a "modem" and "bootloader" for marshmallow (note I do not really understand what these were for, i was trying to follow a guide).
This is where it went screwy, after flashing these 2 files for my specific device through ODIN, it would not boot.
Im not sure but likely to make things worse, I attempted flashing a new TWRP recovery version because i belived it would work with the modem and bootloader.
Ive now tried flashing the stock firmware using ODIN but i get a FAIL message. Please please help, i only just got the phone and i feel hopeless.

use samsung smart switch to restore ur device to factory settings
it will fix ur phone back to normal
If smart switch doesnt work download your stock firmware from sammobile (make sure its the correct variant. Also were your updating from 5.0 to 6.0?
