Hello droidstyle,
I also bricked my phone today. I searched the forums and found someone in virtually the same situation where there issue was caused by a locked bootloader. I assure you I did unlock mine before trying to flash the Rom that brought me to the "unauthorized software detected" message but I'm guessing the app I used didn't work.
You advised the other guy to download and flash the "restore" file from step 1b instead of the regular one from 1a. After downloading the file and clicking on PDA in Odin, the "restore" file doesn't even show up on the list of files I can pull into Odin. What am I doing wrong?

you gotta have the pda and pit file flashed at the same time

Use 7zip to extract the file first. Also you definitely still had a locked boot loader. I'm curious what app you're referring to you used to unlock?

Ez unlock is for the s3 only. There is only one way to unlock the note 2 and is found in original development.
Also not to be a jerk, but why in the world would you think it was gonna work? There is literally not 1 reference to ez unlock in any of the note forums.

If you took an ota while wanting to unlock your bootloader you probably shouldn't unlock. You'll end up bricking your phone

In check usb debugging and plug the phone in. This should install drivers, than put phone into download mode, then reboot into fastboot mode. This will insure that you have all drivers installed

Verizon Note 2 will not reset to factory settings!!!

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

[Q]Boot Loop + No Access to Recovery

I recently flashed the latest Hyperdrive ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy S4 Device. Everything was perfectly fine until I started getting weird unmounting errors from my SD card. I thought nothing of it as my camera still had access to files on the SD card. But tonight after eating dinner I came up to find my phone on the Samsung Custom screen with the lock icon as if it were booting up. I learned that this was a boot loop. So I instantly tried to do a factory reset and the problem arose when I couldn't access recovery. It would show the text in the top left corner then it would disappear and reboot and get stuck in the same loop. When I plug in the charger it gets stuck on this battery icon but it is frozen.
After hours of searching I downloaded the original verizon rom from stockroms.net. After having trouble with it saying PIT not found I realized that it was the USB port. It successfully flashed the original firmware. It then went back into the boot loop. The video I was watching to do this said this could happen so I tried once again to go into recovery. This time I knew the recovery was even back to default (I was using goo manager) as the text at the top left changed. But it once again rebooted and got stuck in the boot loop not letting me into recovery.
If anyone has anything I can do to fix this, I am all ears. Sorry if this has been answered previously but I have found nothing. Trust me. I have searched.
EDIT: I was able to get into ODIN nothing else. I flashed with ODIN.
Were you flashing the stock rom through recovery? If you werent grab the odin flashable images from the dev section and flash that. Should get you running again.

After you said u grabbed the stock firmware from stockroms you didnt specify your flashing method I wasnt sure how you were doin it. Your download might be corrupted so I would delete it, redownload it, then verify the md5 is correct, and then try again. Your flashing under pda and not phone right?

How do I verify the md5 is correct? Also, I'm wondering if the problem lies with it being a nowipe version of the rom. Is there anyway to find a rom that WILL wipe? I can't find any around the forum nor on google.
Google md5 checker or md5 verifier. I checked the link but sadly there wasnt an md5 posted for the file. I would still download a verifier tho they come in handy. There is wipe versions in the dev section. I decided to be nice and I grabbed the link for you. Also your flashing under pda and not phone right?

I rooted my me7

and tried to install open recovery script using goomanager. It put me into the download mode. I was finally able to get out of it. Do I need to do anything to clean up anything or just wait till the me7 is able to install a custom recovery?
Today I was using nav a bit and my device turned off on me several times. I don't know what's causing that to happen. Don't know if it has something to do with root or not. Hasn't happened before I rooted.
If your device is in the window it could be overheating. You could try uninstalling any updates/data and re update if that doesnt work then I would flash the me7 image through odin and re root and see if that solves the problem. Im on an me7 based rom and dont have that problem.

Hey Hexitnow...Didn't want to hijack the other thread but you said to reflash. Do I just do that by running the script in the terminal emulator on the phone again like I did the first time?
That im not sure about i dont think there is an odin version for mac. I could be wrong tho because ive never really looked either. There is another program called heimdall (google it and you can find it, instructions are in the readme) and you should be able to flash using that. But I would try uninstalling any updates/data before hand and see if that solves it.
Edit:
Rerun the script? Sorry im a little lost there.

I gotcha. You can do it through application manager. After you get me7 reflashed then yeah you just do the same process over to get root back.

I'm bit of a noob again. I had Android for several years but I've had an iphone for the last 4 or 5 years and I've forgotten everything. Could you give me a step by step on what I should do? And does reflash mean going back to unrooted?
If you go into settings, more, application manager then scroll to the app in question youll see the options. When i say reflash I mean flashing the me7 stock image. After flashing it it puts your phone back to how it was when you first pulled it out of the box.

Note 2 Verizon Screwed.... SCH-I605.... Help!

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....

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.

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.

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.

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.
