Good evening,
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I rooted and unlocked my phone and then tried installing a wrong CM10. Then I installed the stock ROM again so that it would at least work. That succeeded.
However, a popup came offering a OTA update and I hit yes without thinking. It rebooted and stayed at boot loop.
Now when I try using ODIN to reflash the stock ROM it does so, reboots, and stays at the boot screen where the LTE and moving stuff shows up after the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 in white text screen. Please, I need this fixed urgently as that's my work phone.
I've tried flashing the rooted stock rom and that doesn't work either. When I try to re-root/unlock it says "Firmware problem please connect to Klies" or something along those lines. I can't boot into recovery mode either. The android shows up and a bar and then it reboots when it's close to finishing the boot into recovery.

I'm confused, where is your phone now. Boot loop, the firmware upgrade problem or other?

Really basic question here, how long have you let it sit on the boot animation screen? Sometimes it takes a very long time for first boot, especially if davlik was wiped.

I just read a post about someone in the same situation that said after about 30 attempts!! with Odin it did finally work.
Also, I have no affiliation with these guys but they seem to know what they are doing and doing it for a reasonable price: http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2-jtag-brick-repair/
Good luck.

Boot loop if I try to go to stock ROM. Firmware warning if I try to use boot unlocker/root ROM.
I can't get into recovery under either. When I try to get into recovery under the boot unlock/root ROM I get the firmware problem.

Your phone had to boot up to unlock so again are you boot looping now? I'm thinking you need to use the alternate restore file. It sounds like your boot loader is still locked. If that's the case that's the only image that will actually flash in Odin.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
here is your problem:
1) NEVER ACCEPT OTA'S
2) You didnt research before flashing
3) Since you accepted the ota, the bootloader from the original vraljb odin file is black listed. meaning you cant ever use that file again.
4) To fix your problem follow section 1b of my guide, make sure to use the alternate restore link as it does not contain a bootloader in the file. it will revert you back to vraljb firmwqre while maintaining the L4 bootloader.

Not sure what the CM updater uses, but I have tried to update with Philz, got stuck in an installation loop of the update itself.
Tried to use my jig and flash back to stock right now, got into download mode and was able to flash back to stock, but right now, I got into download with the jig, flashed stock ROM, and got a bootloop but am UNABLE to get into any recovery at all.
Pretty screwed up. Really need some suggestions here, guys.
Any ideas?!
I can get into download mode and flash via Odin (USB drivers installed via Windows 8)
Flashes successfully, installs stock recovery, reboots into bootloop.
No idea how to fix it.
Not a noob here. Nothing is working.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem and I ended up finding a working CWM tar file that can be installed using ODIN and I was then able to boot into CWM fine.
This is the exact file name: recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.2.7-GTI9300
I don't remember where I downloaded it from, but if you Google the exact file name I am pretty sure you'll find it. Just flash it using Odin and you'll be good to go.

Well, now I'm even more f****ed than before, because I had a zero count, but after trying this, I got a custom count in download, and I still cannot get into recovery.
Nothing works.
Bye, bye warranty.
Edit:
The 6.0.2.7 version by MSKIP worked, but the updated one did not.
I got recovery, now I'll see if I can flash stock and recovery to get my counter back to zero.
Sorry to hear about the counter. I'd suggest rooting your device, installing Triangle Away, resetting your flash counter and then finally unrooting your device by installing stock ROM from SamMobile or such. That's the best route if you want your warranty to remain intact.

Hi all,
I am stuck in the very same problem as of today!
I don't know what to do!
One more weird symptom is that when I tried to charge the Note battery..it suddenly went to bootloop again!
The battery was 100% at the begining of that damn update process!
I don't know what to do..all suggestions are so welcomed.

I really need some help here. I have an MDK S4 that I sold. Need to mail it out tomorrow. It has TWRP installed and was stock rooted. I tried to wipe all my info, so I went into TWRP, did a factory resent, and wiped data. Now the phone won't boot passed the "Samsung Galaxy S4 screen". I really need some help with this. I promised this person I would ship the phone out tomorrow and take that very seriously. Any help is extremely appreciated.

If youre selling it i wouldnt worry about keeping it rooted unless that was one of the selling.points. yes you can also use the stock rooted mdk rom as well but it cant be flashed via odin it has to be flashed via recovery. But once again I would odin to return it to out of the box software.

Yea, it was one of the selling points, the fact that it was MDK and already rooted. Anyway, I just tried flashing the stock rooted file through TWRP and it didn't work. Still won't boot passed the samsung galaxy s4 splash screen. Guess its time to try Odin. Should I be concerned about the phone updating on its own? MDK is the big selling point.

have you tried to use it through ODIN? going through TWRP is not the same.
Are you using twrp 2.5.0.2?
Here is a flashable version 2.5.0.2 I did not make this but got it from the twrp thread and many have used it. Just flash in recovery.https://db.tt/YeZ3cp4c
Twrp 2.6+ is known to have issue's.

If you have to resort to using odin put it in airplane mode, root, disable airplane mode and update binaries then remove sdm.apk or rename it and the ota update wont hastle you anymore.

Original full stock images. Will also wipe data.
Did the Odin process pass the first time you tried and then stock froze at splash screen? How long you letting sit on the first boot? That first boot can take a while sometimes.

Yes sometimes up to 10 min for some ROMs but I've never have had it take more then 4 or 5 min on a fresh flash.

I did a battery pull, then booted into the regular recovery, did another factory reset, and was finally able to boot back into android. Then I was able to follow all of the root/recovery steps. Finally got it sorted out!!!!! Thanks to everyone who helped me, its silly, but it helped that I didn't feel stranded with this thing. XDA is the best!
I received this verizon Galaxy Tab 10.1 as a gift and a project, but haven't been able to make any progress.
The tablet was bought from a taxi company that used it was in car entertainment. When booted, an app immediately starts up and removes the navigation bar. If you are fast enough, you can get to the settings and uninstall this app before it starts, or what I have found to be easier, just use shell commands to hit home and uninstall while the app tries to regain control.
The table is currently running 3.2, and cannot update over wifi, nothing happens.
Root was gained by an unknown method, but the SU app won't open up. I can access su through the shell however.
I have tried flashing a cwm recovery through ODIN which says is successful but if it is booted straight to the recovery it is still stock.
Flashing ROM's through ODIN appear to be successful, but just boots right back to the original rom and recovery.
Adding anything to the SD card or anywhere else accessable to the stock recovery does not work either because the SD card is reformatted to the original contents every time.
This also occurs with any apps that are installed, each one is removed when rebooted except for SU. And Rom Manager FC's when CWM is attempting to flash.
nvflash will not work either because the bootloader is locked.
I don't know much about the boot sequence for android, but I looked for any init. files that are out of the ordinary and cannot find anything.
I'm giving this tablet away when I finally figure it out, I just want to fix it. Any help would be awesome and let me know if I've left something out.
Even if no one has any specific suggestions, can someone post a PIT file for a SCH-i905? I have seen the stock firmware that can be flashed through ODIN but it does not stick on my unit.
Thanks!
Excuse my English but my original language is Spanish.
The default verizon tablet brings in recovery an option that reloads the original recovery. If units installed CWM via Odin must access the recovery option (Vol +) on 1st boot and enter the option to leave cmw (reboot) will give you the option of not recovering the recovery.
The other alternative is to flash via odin the original software look it by google "PDA_HC31_EG01Ba_AP352081user_CP1033580_LTE20110704_0708"
in this case the tab stay with the factory version.
if the team does not have SIM must type top left - top right - bottom left, bottom right and then vol + to unlock.
good look

i had the same problem but pulling the sim and unlocking as mentioned above helped a lot then went through the whole rooting process through odin and have not had any issues with anything reverting back to stock. only issue now is not very many roms for our model "bummer" all in all still a good droid tablet for what i paid lol if you still havent got it going let me know and i will give you all the directions and steps i used
I have tried installing PDA_HC31_EG01Ba_AP352081user_CP1033580_LTE2011070 4_0708 through Odin3.
I do boot directly into recovery after installing CWM, the stock recovery still persists. I have tried several times because I know sometimes it does not stick.
I have also tried flashing the factory image linked in that xda post "[ROM]EG01 - Factory STOCK ODIN Image - VZW LTE Tab 10.1".
Boots right back up and starts the same taxi cab show case media software it normally does.
One thing I did not note in the first post. I do have root access when the tablet is booted into the os, but I do not when the tablet is in recover. I dont know if this is unusual or not.
I can also install busy box, but have yet to find out his would be useful.
I also do not have access to nvflash, but I think this is normal because the bootloader is not unlocked.

Awesome, I'll give this a go when I get home.
Was there a p4vzw twrp version some where in those links?
Looks like all of the ones referenced were 3g and wifi only.
Sidenote: I don't care if I keep 4g functionality or not, I will only be using this for wifi, if that makes fixing the problem any easier.

I was able to find the thread, thanks!
After downloading the odin flashable twrp, I tried first with Odin3, but it failed. Then I flashed with JOdin, this first pulled a PIT file from the tab then failed to repartition. If I ran it without repartitioning it said it was sucessful, but if I boot straight into recovery the stock android recovery still comes up.
I have a way to get a pit file now though, so that's nice.

Recovery meaning stock recovery? Bc your on 4.3 bootloader so you won't be able to have a custom recovery unless on safe strap.. see if you have stock recovery and do a factory reset once Odin goes though fine

thanks anyways.
After my grand daughter got my SCH-i650 into TWRP recovery mode and then proceeded to really (&#$^@# it up, needless to say it was totally screwed. My fault though. I ended up flashing with odin back to stock and used the MJ9 4.3 version.I didn't know that the boot loader was locked up tight on this one so I am stuck with it. I rooted, then put the new safe strap on it and got stuck in a splash screen. I could hear messages coming through but my screen was locked. Long story short, what finally worked was what you all said to do in this thread and then stock recovery and factory reset. At least I have my phone back. I really miss Alliance and Trent's rom but glad to at least have my phone working. Thank you all for all the help and suggestions.
OK, made a dumb mistake. Not a frequent poster so I had to post here rather than in the thread where it belongs:

[ROM]KOT49H【4.4.4】AOSP Official Google Edition 【Verizon!】06-25-2014
Basically, I didn't re-flash loki-doki. I had 4.4.2 running and had re-flashed 4.4.3 but somehow thought that I could reboot and then re-enter recovery to re-flash loki rather than doing it all at once. Dumb move. So now I have a perfectly good 4.4.3 load, but I can't enter recovery to do anything else. I want to flash the 4.4.4 image, but anytime I try to get into recovery I get the "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless / Yellow Triangle" message.
I know I can Odin back to a stock image, but is there an easy way to force into recovery to flash loki-doki? Tried Flashify per another users post but that doesn't get me anywhere. Have not tried Triangle Away, because I didn't think that would cure my issue. The answer may be to re-flash, but I wanted to see if there was an easy way first. Running MDK btw....

[ROM]KOT49H【4.4.4】AOSP Official Google Edition 【Verizon!】06-25-2014
Basically, I didn't re-flash loki-doki. I had 4.4.2 running and had re-flashed 4.4.3 but somehow thought that I could reboot and then re-enter recovery to re-flash loki rather than doing it all at once. Dumb move.

I am far from an expert but I think you are on the right track with having to do Odin.
I haven't used loki-doki before but after doing some reading the requirement is a working custom recovery.
This may be a dumb question but did you try to re-install something like CWM?

Try unzipping whatever recovery it is you want to use and then use Flashify to " flash recovery image " and locate the Recovery. IMG you got from unzipping earlier.
Also I would run Tri Angle Away too.
If using that method to get you're recovery back doesn't help... Then yes Odin it is.

Thanks all. I use twrp, and have tried reflashing it, but nothing let's me reboot into recovery without the situation described above. My fault, so looks like back to square one I go...

Are you just trying to get into recovery from the ROM? Or from a battery pull and phone off? Sometimes getting into it from the ROM can get borked but the other method works in which case flashing the ROM again should fix that. Again I'd also use Tri Angle Away

Trying from inside the ROM. I've got a fully functioning 4.4.3, but I'm locked out of getting into Recovery....

Flashify can't even get me into Recovery...
Thanks all, I ODIN'd back to stock and worked it all the way back forward to 4.4.4. Appreciate the help.

I hate digging up old threads especially when Hijacking them. But I wanted to say thanks for the information you provided. It helped a lot and got me back into recovery (TWRP 2.8.1.1). Now the real fun begins. I have not had this phone in my possession for quite some time (November 2013). Anyway, I was tasked with bringing it up to date and I might need some further assistance. If so, I'll start my own topic in this sub forum.
Thanks again @Mistertac.
