Rooting doesn't give you the ability to flash ROMs, you have to have the bootloader unlocked and have a custom recovery such as twrp or cwm.
Thought you needed it unlocked to have a rom on it to start with. It has the cleanrom se1.5 on it now

Ok, you didn't say that you only said it was rooted.
What steps are you taking to flash a new ROM?
You said it fails, what's the failure?
Have you tried going into recovery mode? Turn off your phone, press and hold volume up+home button+and power button till u reach the boot animation then release the buttons. You will either be in cwm or twrp. If you reached this step, then you can flash a rom that is built for your specific note 2 version. From the recovery menus you can follow the necessary steps to install. Let us know what you see.
Ps make sure you do a back up just incase

To do this get GooManager from the Play Store, and follow the directions in the description. I believe you press menu and then install a script.

I'd clean the phone up and return it to stock. Start from there.
Also, are you using a custom recovery like twrp or cwm? also, is your BL unlocked?
More info is needed to assist you further, broseph.

Did you check the md5 and what ROM are you flashing?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
how does a person check the md5 and i have tried the beans11 and jedi10 and both have errors and fail
There is an option in TWRP that makes it look for an MD5 match... but unless you have the MD5 accessible to TWRP it will fail and not install.
Make sure the option is not checked when you go to flash.
To manually check the MD5 yourself to verify your downloads... you need an app on your PC that has the ability. Google will point you right.
Then to check the MD5, you have the app analyze the file and compare it to the MD5 provided in the ROM thread.
thanks unchecked the md5 stuff and it works thanks

I rooted my Sprint GS3 using odin with no problems. Got a pass, rebooted, went into CWM ect....
But now I can't boot back into CWM. It goes straight to Stock recovery instead. The only way to get into CWM now is to use Rom manager to reboot into it. Has anyone had this issue? I want to install a rom, but don't want to do it if I can't boot into CWM manually.
Thanks!

Where can I find his method? I don't see it in the Sprint GS3 Fourms.
Let me give some info on my situation:
The phone has unlocked boot loader
I got a replacement phone and wanted to odin back to stock to send back my original phone.
I used Odin to flash back to stock but the phone will not boot and I cannot get into recovery.
I am able to use Odin with success every time. I have followed instruction on how to return to stock and everything goes perfectly until I try to reboot or go into recovery. I just get the Samsung splash screen and it blinks every couple of seconds.
Any ideas?
so you pulled battery, reinsert, three finger combo(vol up/home/power) until you see recovery booting and it wont boot into recovery?

I have been using your instructions to go back to stock using odin from any rom. Do I need to flash the PIT with any stock odin file?
I have successful used the route66, Revision3 and Imuts files. all flash in Odin gave me the "SUCCESS" but then I cannot boot into recovery or start the phone.
Could it be because I had an unlocked bootloader? Is there a way to reinstall just a bootloader and/or recovery.

If you're returning it use the OTA jb image (full wipes and locks boot loader) and the pit file.

Yes, this was my problem exactly!! I know you weren't saying this, but it wasn't the Jedi ROM that did it just to clear that up. It was a ROM that I was beta testing that hasn't been released yet. I was on Jedi ROM prior to flashing the beta test ROM which I think is what you meant.
OP, did you happen to be testing a ROM and this happened? I won't name it but at least tell me that much.

I had a feeling that is was bricked as I have tried everything I could to fix it. It is not that big of a deal because the screen was shattered on it last week and I paid the insurance for a replacement and was sending it back anyways.
So my friend rooted his s4 he cant remember how then got the tarp app from the play store to install tarp not goomanager and then when he booted to recovery its said could not boot normally and went into download mode. We tried goomanager but now no matter what you try to boot it says the same thing. I tried flashing the stock firmware on it but it failed in Odin. Any ideas?
Sent from my SPH-L300 using xda app-developers app
You never mentioned what firmware your friend is on. But I'm guessing it's me7. Flash the me7 firmware in Odin. Then don't try to put a recovery on the phone. You can't or you'll end up where you are now. Then have your friend read a lot before he tried custom roms.
well that's what I as trying to do was flash the stock I don't know what he was on. It failed right after aboot.mbn

It failed on aboot because he has an me7 phone and your trying to flash the mdk firmware which yoh cant do. Grab the me7 image from the dev section and flash that. You cant install a custom recovery on me7. Youre only options for romming are rooting then installing safestrap. So you and your friend got a bit of reading to do.

I was messing around and had a soft brick so I odin'd back to stock rom and got everything running and got root up and running. No matter how I do it I can NOT get a custom recovery to install. I tried Goo Manager which never actually downloads the file. I found the .tar file to install manually via Odin and it says it fails. I even tried clockwork mod to install clockwork recovery and it just boots me to the stock recovery. Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this?

Yeah it basically says once you have root access you can use Goo Manger or Clockwork Mod to install the pre Loki'd recovery. Neither one of those 2 work though it just says it does and then takes me back to the stock recovery.

Yeah I did all the steps up until the actual recovery isn't installed. Goo Manger won't download anything at all but Clockwork Mod does and it says my recovery is set at either clockwork or twrp (which ever I pick) but when I boot into recovery its still just the stock one...

Install the all in one root and recovery tool for mdk...since you are already rooted you can skip that step...select the prep for recovery option...it will clean up and get rid of things that interfere with custom recovery and then select install either oudhs or twrp...these will allow you to flash updated cwm/twrp versions which I recommend to ensure proper flashing of newer roms...once one of these is installed you can always use rom manager or goo manager or the others to update...but I believe the prep for recovery step is crucial in having a functional custom recovery

Why dont you try to look for custom recovery thats suits your device manually and flash it using recovery tool app. You can get it in playstore

Our devices are quirky... Some will do just fine just randomly flashing recovery...others just won't behave without going through the prep for recovery step...I know I flashed stock with Odin once before rooted again and had the same problems getting custom recovery setup...used the same steps to fix it then too...I would recommend these for anyone having issues with recovery install

Have actually research what firmware you have and what recovery can be used. You do know that unless you have mdk...you can't use goomanger or twrp or Cwm right?

I believe you are going to have to go with SafeStrap 3.72. You don't have an unlocked bootloader but Safestrap isn't bad. You can still install some really good roms
The problem is that I can't boot my phone now. It just boots into Odin mode. When I got my phone originally it wasn't mdk so I didn't have to deal with safestrap. So I didn't know there was other options.
