Never seen this before??? Soft Brick maybe - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

So i tried flashing a couple AT&T roms using the verizon patch and if they didnt work just nandroid back but now i have no 3 or 4g and the phone keeps rebooting into a screen that says System software not authorized by verizon wireless has been found on your phone please turn off your phone and go to the nearest verizon wireless store for help. What is this a soft brick? Anyone know how to fix this?

Just tried that and i get that same screen again after i odin back to stock

did you flash these roms in recovery or odin?

follow section 1 of my guide...refer to the last part on going back to stock from any rom with odin. you need to flash the pit file and stock rom together.

Tried that 2. Downloaded both versions of the factory rom. One that puts you back 100% stock and the one that keeps your bootloader unlocked. I followed the instructions with the pit file and extracted the roms with 7-zip but the Odin md5 check hash fails everytime.....
Any idea what im doing wrong?

bad downloads

Exact same thing happened to me and I just Odin back to factory and had to re unlock bootloader and reroot. So I'm pretty sure was bad download because everything worked fine here.

Lol : ) Thanks got it figured out. All back to stock now. It was fun while it lasted actually got a couple cool roms to work with that patch. Oh yeah and that note2core AS kernel is just stupid fast clocked at 1.920. Not that it matters but quadrant scores were over 8500

You installed a rom with a modem included. That's why you lost 3g and 4g.

Easy ODIN Unroot Telus Note i717D to stock ICS

After doing a ton of searches here and finding a bunch of confusing posts and the threads and files I found were all for stock GB and kept soft bricking my phone I went to "the cloud"! I finally found a site with the correct file and now I am back to stock and running schmoove as silk.
Anyway, should you want/need to restore your Note to stock/unrooted state, for whatever reason, here is a link to the file:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13678253/StockROMs.net-SGH-I717D_Telus_1_20120630122852_xxzc97o421.zip
Just download the file, unzip it, put your phone in "download" mode, connect your phone to your pc, open ODIN, once your device is detected select "PDA", find the .tar file you extracted from the zip file, click "start" and that's it. Once its finished your phone should reboot and you are all set.
It will add to your counter but, you can reset that before you restore to stock if you follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569206 but do so at your own risk! I have flashed the file and it works but that was me and I cannot vouch for you or your ability to follow directions
Hope this helps
Cheers!

Will this return the note to the Telus stock gingerbread rom (as the phone comes when you buy it)? My brother has been looking for this for a long time and if so this would be really helpful.

If he is on a gingerbread rom now then you should be able to follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483113
But, if it is on ICS then you need to get the phone back to GB before you can use that method.

have your tried checking the MD5 or just re-downloading whatever rom you are trying to PUSH? Also check which version of ODIN you have. Like issues with the Charge, Notes seem to have an issue playing with the Odin interface.

1st are you already rooted. If you are, you should be using recovery to flash new ROM's not Odin.
2nd. Not sure how much this will help, but try Odin 3.07

not rooted. trying root for the first time on this unit. ill look for an older version thanks for trying to help out:good:
First, I'd say ditch the toolkit and do it manually. At least when it fails, you'll have a better idea of where and what was going on. Where is it failing? Is your device recognized by Odin if you try manually? Have you installed drivers for the phone?

im a bit new to this style of rooting. im used to the .zip stuff. im guessing this new way of doing things is because of the bootloader being on lock down?

I'm not sure who posted that one, but that is correct. Have you checked to see if you have a pre-ota rooted stock rom? I would check the android thread about rooting and using odin to make sure there's been no changes. Odin is usually pretty easy to use (ONCE you get it to recognize the correct drivers.)
It is a new phone so I would guess not but ill look and read more. Thanks a lot

[Q] Flashing ROMs on VRALL4 ?

I OTA updated to vramc3 pretty much while rooted on accident.. Spent like 10 hours searching through forums and eventually found a way to fix it.. Anyway since i cant just use the stock vramc3 at present... I started looking for alternatives but can I flash like Beans Build 17 while having vrall4? Probably a stupid question but I don't know so.. Thanks in advance!
I don't see why not. The ROMs and modems are not linked per say.

Well.... I just tried flashing Beans Build 17 twice and both times i got a red message that said "Failed"
so either im forgetting a step somewhere or it just aint working xD
P.S. But at least its working at the moment.. I can live with that until I can update to VRAMC3 but im not sure how that's gonna work out...
Any information would be great but its 5 am... I aint slept yet so im gonna go ahead and do that haha
Yes you can flash ROMs and then you can flash the radio to update the baseband to the newest version.

As long as u update twrp like kint said you can flash beans on the ll4 radios with no problem or just download updated radios and flash behind beans 17 doesn't matter what radios your on. But u should go into goo manager hit menu then click install recovery script to update twrp .

Oh jesus sorry im getting back to you guys so late... I've had one hell of a day.. but I tried flashing Beans Build 17 again after updating TWRP and it failed...
...I then saw Carbon ROM... thought it looked cool and gave it a try... it sure did flash but jesus something went completely awry with it... more than half the apps were force closing and i had to pull the battery multiple times before the phone would actually boot so i gave up on that then i went back and used odin to recover vraljb... phew.. at least i can fix most soft bricks now XD!

Make sure to check md5 sum after downloading the file. I've never had a problem with flashing any build of beans. When you try to flash it, does it even get to the aroma installer?
Nope not even... I swipe to flash then it tries for a second and just fails

[DEVS/Firmware] JSS15J.N900PVPUBMI5 update.zip

Hi guys.
Here is the update.zip for MI5. I have taken the liberty to remove the firmware (bootloader,trustedzone,etc) from this just incase Samsung is trying to pull something. I'm posting two versions, one with the firmware and one without. Appyling this update.zip caused my phone to not boot with the updated kernel. I had to revert back to the MI3 kernel in order to boot up. I'm assuming this is due to either root, or me removing the firmwares. That is why i'm labeling this as dev.
NOTE: DO NOT FLASH THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR PREVIOUS KERNEL AND CAN RESTORE.
NOTE2: You can safely flash the Update WITH previous kernel once it goes live.
Update with no firmwares:
MI5 Update NO bootloader
Update with firmwares:
MI5 Update FULL
Update with previous kernel:

Thanks. If I don't see a new TAR this weekend I'll patch the modem so it can be flashed via Odin.

4glte connects stronger, and for further distances than ever before, lte to 3g handoff was flawless. and call quality was vastly improved.

When you are in TWRP, the "boot" check box, is the kernel. So, when backing up or restoring, as long as that box is checked, the kernel should be backed up (or restored).

We have been trying all day to get the update... It is not yet available for me or freeza.
if you would like too return to stock, and if you get the OTA. let us know...
we can walk you through pulling the files, and uploading, so either myself or freeza can make a flashable for everyone. I also spoke to Garwyn, and he doesn't have the OTA yet either. It also isn't posted on Sammobile, and it isn't available in Kies yet either...
Be patient. Obviously, we will be posting stock rom, odin restore, and update zips/. these things just take time.

Aha. So if i'm rooted on NH5, with custom recovery, i can flash this stock tar to get back to unrooted NH5 with stock recovery ? The other stock tars would fail in Odin because they do not have the NH5 firmware, and Samsung made it so Odin will not flash previous firmwares if i've already flashed a newer firmware? Is that correct ?

Hello. Flashing this with Odin will return to stock for Samsung warranty without tripping Knox correct? My Knox is still 0x0 but I deleted/moved some system apps while rooted is like to restore before sending for warranty.
