I rooted and then tried to flash Jedi X rom but I forgot to unlock the bootloader first. Got the "bring to Verizon Wireless" message on reboot. tried the stock firmware from Samsung and used the stock pit file to try and reset from Odin but it fails every single time after the sboot.bin. I have redownloaded the stock firmware to make sure there was no bad DL. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. Absolutely nothing has worked. and I have tried every avenue and answer I could find on the internet.
Hoping you guys can point me in the right direction so I can get my phone back to factory status so I can flash roms. I t will be much appreciated.
PS. Phone is able to boot and function normally but only if I reflash JUST the .pit file before startup.
Wrong Forum man. This is for the Sprint variant of note 2

Pull sboot.bin out and rearchive it. If the bootloader is still locked its not gonna let Odin over ride it

Whoops. My apologies. Perhaps I'll blame my error on the fact it was 2am.
I got the "verizon has detected unauthorized software" soft brick earlier today, i since have been trying and trying to flash stock in odin to no avail. now, instead of the "detected unauthorized software," i get "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies & try again." Kies doesn't do anything and odin fails every time. Can anyone help me? I don't know what else to do.
So you can still get into download mode successfully?

Update I accidentally put a ROM on that was meant for T Mobile
There's a thread by Adam Outler that has the stock 4.1.1 firmware and a .pit file you need to flash in Odin with the .pit file in the partition slot. Then update using Verizon's OTA till your on 4.1.2 then use the newest CASUAL to root and unlock boot loader.

+1. Happened to me on my tablet. The phone is stuck in download mode with that message so just flash the stock firmware and the .pit via Odin and start over.
I think ive have tried every possible way to flash used every usb port and still cannot get my phone to flash on odin. Does anyone have any suggestions.
what ive done so far:
Used Odin3Excutionv1.81 (flashes SCH-I45 MDK Stock Restore)
Failed
Used Odin3Excution v1.81( flashes SCH-I545 MDK Kernel)
Successful
Used Odin 3.07v
Flashed Modem
Flashed Recovery
Flashed Kernel
These had to be run through odin a couple times before it would flash or pass.
Then after I tried to flash Stock Restore and that fails.
Im all out of options have, and have put many hours into getting nowwhere please if someone has any suggestions I would love to think that this isnt a 700 dollar paper i have sitting here.
When booting up I get a message that says," Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.(Tried that also)
Which version of the firmware were you on prior?

I installed the android update while rooted, I tried to flash back to stock. odin failed now im stuck on a screen that says firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
what do I do? how can I get back to stock? SCH i545
anyone? odin fails every time when trying to flash the stock firmware.
Once you install the me7 ota you cant go back to mdk. If you didnt protect root before installing via voodoo rootkeeper youre going to lose root as well. If you flash the me7 update through odin you should be good to go. This issue has been covered a dozen times or more. Some searching and browsing goes a long way.:thumbup:

So I have been working on a friend of mines Verizon Note 2 (SCH-I605) and have run into an issue... I had rooted it successfully to root66 VZW stock sys, then attempted to unlock the bootloader according to the [email protected] galaxynote2root(dot)com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-verizon-galaxy-note-2-sch-i605.... without reviewing the multiplicity of comments below the article which should have caught my attention and let me know that many people were unsuccessful with that method.
So now i appear to be screwed because it will boot into ODIN but thats it. I cant even get into stock recovery. Upon boot the Galaxy Note 2 splash stays on indefinitely, as it does when i follow the instructions on this site to restore it from a failed unlock, or unroot...... ODIN 3 + sch-I605-16gb.pit + Root66-VZW-stock_sys, when it reboots following flash the splash screen stays on. I have checked the NAND erase All as suggested on this site, and it makes no difference.
When vol up/home/power is pressed it says something to the effect that 'you are a dumb*ss and have screwed up your firmware dipsh*t'....
So what now? Id hate to have to replace my buddies Note 2.... and I had absolutely 0 difficulties unlocking and rooting my HTC One, so this sucks....
Use this guide to flash back to the appropriate version.

Have you tried using a different image? What version of stock was on it before you messed with it?
Edit: If the stock version wasn't MJ9 or above then don't flash those. There currently isn't and probably won't be a way to unlock the bootloader on MJ9 and above.

well, thats a good question... it was already in a messed up state when i got ahold of it... i tried flashing root66 and it kept failing, i checked NAND ERASE ALL and flashed CI605_I605VRLJB_I605VRALJB_CL414933_HWID04_HW-Rev0406_low_ship_user.tar
as per a suggestion i read on xda.. it too failed as well, but then when i flashed root66 again (also i think with NAND ERASE on) it booted up beautifully...

i have recently read on a site that offers a bootloader downgrade service that if it has a knox counter, then it was updated to a version with a 'permalocked' bootloader... and if this is referring to the counter on the ODIN screen that says KNOX WARRANTY VOID:0 then this one is such a device.....

When you enter download mode does it say anything about Knox?
Edit: I didn't see your last post. Since it had the updated firmware with Knox, you should be at least able to get the phone working again by flashing that version of the firmware in odin. If it was on Android 4.3 then you should be able to odin MJ9 and it will work again. If it was on 4.4.2 then using odin to flash the ND7 image should fix it.

The older one would be 4.3 which is MJ9. And yes use the pit file with it.
And just in case, I know you probably don't need it, the instructions for flashing with odin are in the return to stock section of the first post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207

right you are about 4.3 being older... i was looking through the stock roms in that very guide and saw 4.1.2 and thought that was the one you had mentioned... im downloading MJ9 now..... thanks... hope this works...
so let me ask you this, if i get it back to stock, and rooted again... even though i cant unlock the bootloader, can i get it network unlocked? this entire dilemma occurred because he wants to be able to throw a straight talk sim in this phone.
i had intended to try this www(dot)scottsroms(dot)com/showthread.php?2786-How-I-turned-my-Verizon-Note-2-into-a-World-capable-GSM-phone

Once you get the phone working you can use Saferoot to root it, that is as long as it's working on MJ9. If the phone had been updated to ND7 which is Android 4.4.2 then there currently isn't a way to root it.
Remember even if you get root you won't be able to use a custom recovery to flash stuff.
Also the sch-i605 is already Sim unlocked from Verizon. You just have to be able to edit the apn settings.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I don't know a lot about root66 so I can't help you much there, but I do know that while in download mode if it says something about Knox warranty then the bootloader had been updated to a version with Knox which started with mj9 for the i605.
