I might be wrong but to my understanding, if you have OTA 4.1.2, it won't unlock the bootloader. Because I tried doing it on a 4.1.2 after it recieved the OTA, and it wouldn't root/unlock. After going through every step, I got stuck on the samsung boot loop. So i took out a different device and it had 4.1.1 on it. Did the exact same thing and boom..

i used that method for 4.1.2 and it worked fine for me.
using the CASUAL jailbreak method and i get the error after it downloads the pit file and tries to write it, I can post the exact message but ill have to brick the phone again.
The error i get is
Downloading device's PIT file...
PIT file downloaded successful.
uploading recovery 100%
ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!
ERROR: recovery upload failed!
the phone gets the loop mode and loops the samsung text, i have to flash the original .pit file top get the phone to boot up now.
____
is there anyway for me to get back to 4.1.2 without an active verizon sim?
What are you on right now? When I tried to flash 4.1.2 and it didn't work, I flashed the pit file and got the phone running at 4.1.2. all without a simcard in the slot.
there was a new CASUAL that was uploaded last night and it worked for me but the thread has been closed now since they are having problems with it. I did get an error the first time i tried it but the second time it was able to root, unlock and add twrp to my phone.
Wheer did you get the new casual from all i see is 465b version

Downloaded and it worked, it unlocked my phone i can use my tmobile sim but i cant change the APN settings, any help??

I had tried to root a friends I605 or Verizon Note II yesterday and about 3/4 of the way through Casual's one click method on the VramC3 4.1.2 version it failed. This left my phone in download mode and upon removal of battery and reinsertion, the phone just went into a boot loop. This is an error that is known to Casual and is being worked on, same error can occur if you use the wrong version on the wrong software version. This can just be resolved by flashing the pit only file the schI605-16gb.pit which you can find on this forum, in Odin. Just use Odin to flash this file alone in the PIT section not the pda or phone section. Your phone will boot and work correctly. If you discover you have the corret Casual package just retry the process, it worked for me the second time.
Thank you very much for your post. Much appreciated and know this will help out others. I'll add this to the FAQ board.
Where did casual fail for you and what error did you get?
i'll keep this thread saved just in case something goes wrong during my root
This really helps those who got failure through the CASUAL. Thanks a lot!

No problem guys, I know how frustrating it was for me to sit for hours trying to figure out what was wrong, not even being able to flash stock to it. It failed for me right as it was pushing files. I know it failed for several people in older versions, not VRAMC3, at the recovery flash portion of it. I finally took one piece of the alternate flash method, which was to flash both pit and stock firmware, but after that didn't work I instead just flashed the pit. Worked flawlessly.

I have a sch-i605 verizon note 2. It is stuck in a boot loop. I can not access recovery, only download mode. I have flashed with odin over 20 times and am still stuck.

I can get the stock samsung file from their site and the root66 stock rooted file to pass in odin but the phone is still in a bootloop. Please help if you can with any ideas, thanks!

Not exactly sure what happened with the phone. I bought it from a guy that does lots of flashing to his devices and he said he messed it up and took it to a repair place that tried to reflash it for him and he said the tech said the battery died in the process. I plan to try the idea posted above about checking nand erase in Odin but won't be able to till tomorrow, any other ideas will be much appreciated.

The issue is Root66, and I believe the alternative recovery ROM, doesnt wipe the internal SD so whatever is causing your issue may still be there in some form or fashion. If that doesn't work then you could try the VRALJB or VRALL4 restore Roms and see if they work, if the guy was a flasher then he may have unlocked it before the VRAMC3 update screwed everything up.

What do you mean by, "the issue is root66?" Are you saying I shouldn't use it to flash? Those other 2 Roms when I have tried normally to flash it only runs for about 30 seconds then Odin says fail (vral4 & vraljb). The vramc3 and root66 actually runs the entire cycle and Odin says pass but phone stays stuck on flashing Samsung note 2 logo.

I mean that the Root66 ROM doesn't completely wipe the phone like the VRALJB and VRALL4 Roms do because of the way it was made, like I said earlier though if you check the NAND Erase box in Odin before flashing it should get you back to normal.

OK, so I have tried the ticking Hand Erase All in Odin 3 times now with root66, did not work either. But now there is a difference, not sure if its good or bad. When I try to power on the phone it goes to the android downloading logo without the Odin mode script in the top left hand corner, instead of bootlooping the note 2 logo.
shangrila500,
I'm up and running now. I tried the vraljb rom after the 4th attempt of root66 failing and vraljb worked. I guess doing the erase in Odin made that work, thanks very much. the phone is now on 4.1.1, should I do a manual update or no?

Its up to you what you want to do, if you would like to update to VRAMC3 and keep the phone locked then you can go ahead and take the OTA. If you wanna unlock I would go ahead and unlock on VRALJB instead of updating, then flash the ROM of your choosing.

I've been at this constantly since my earlier posts. I can't reliably say what's causing it but the only fix that I have is to restore a Nandroid backup of Clean ROM that I have then try again. Sometimes it reboots, sometimes it's bootloop. Weird.
I have same original issue. My i605 is stuck on Samsung boot screen and I cannot access recovery mode. Download works. I've tried root66 with PIT and NAND Erase via Odin 3.09 several times. Odin says PASS but phone never gets past boot screen. I rooted phone about 18 months ago and don't recall steps. I was running CM11 for past 6 months. Any ideas?

So I tried to root my Note 2 today. I had rooted it once before using Casual this past summer, but due to circumstances i had to get a new one.The replacement came in today, and i tried to root it with the same methods. I believe my mistake was using Casual while i had 4.3 installed on my device. I'm not TERRIBLY android savvy, but i knew enough to know that if i ****ed up i should stop while i'm ahead and ask you guys.
tl;dr
Long story short, while using Casual to root my Note 2 with 4.3 on it, i got this message
ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!ERROR: recovery upload failed!ERROR: Failed to send end session packet!waiting for device
waited for a good 30 minutes, nothing was changing, turned off phone and now it's bricked, looping at the "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" Splash screen.
I believe i have to use Odin for something but i could really use some help and reassurance before i continue.
Needless to say i will be jamming f5 on my thread until everything is resolved!
Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: Since i posted this, i tried to flash a stock firmware on Odin (4.1.2 i believe) and it failed halfway through the procedure. with nothing more to be done, i reset my phone, and where before it was just bootlooping, it now shows me an entirely different screen reading "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Since then i have tried a different firmware file, still 4.1.2, Odin get's to the very end of the procedure, and crashes at what i assume is the reboot portion. Desperately need assistance!
You can't flash anything other than 4.3 if you have the 4.3 bootloader.

I found myself in the same situation. Where might I find the PIT file? I can't reboot the phone to get the PIT file because it's soft bricked like mzaric's phone was. I'm using Mac OS X so I'm having to use JOdin3 to flash the stock 4.3 firmware back, but without the PIT file I can't continue and I've searched endlessly to find the PIT file. Also a somewhat related question, I heard JOdin isn't good for flashing big files, but I have no alternative, is the stock firmware which is 1.1gb too big to flash?
EDIT: I sadly didn't search hard enough thank you droidstyle for the guide. But my next question is I'm unsure of what version the phone is because when I originally tried to do the CASUAL unlock I believe it was on 4.1.2, but I think it softbricked to begin with because it was 4.3. Should I just try doing the 4.1.2 and if it doesn't take, retry with the 4.3?
If you flashed n7100 firmware you are screwed. If not just Odin back to stock. You were on 4.1.2 if you were unlocked using casual. Don't go to 4.3

If you installed the Ota for 4.3 from Verizon your bootloader is locked and can't downgrade to a previous version. Easiest way to tell if this is the case is when in odin mode it will say something about Knox warranty.

So, this all started last year when i wanted to disable updates. For the life of me, i cant remember what i did but there have been no updates. Recently, I have been getting the OTA notification to update. So i did that and when it installs it gives an error at 26%. My phone is rooted and has USB debugging on so i put it in download mode and tried to use ODIN to update it with both the stock firmware and KitKat. they both failed. Today, I tried to do it again but added the file to BL instead of AP in ODIN. Now my phone gives the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen. I tried to use Kies to fix it but it doesnt connect when this screen is up. When i restart the phone in download mode, then my computer detects the device.

flash a stock rom and then fastboot flash your stock recovery, then update your phone the update should be triggered in the stock recovery,with a custom recovery, it won't work
the only other easy way around this besides doing what I said is to look for a firmware thread for your device and flash the firmware as a op who has tested it states.

So i did that but still got an error. I think that one of the reasons why it was messing up before is an issue with Kies blocking the port from opening. So i closed that out per the below thread.

But it started and the status bar on my phone is now blue (which is what how this bigger issue started before) I found this other link that kind of fits whats going on. Should i just follow the PIT instructions from here and of course just restart my phone again?

So i did that but still got an error. I think that one of the reasons why it was messing up before is an issue with Kies blocking the port from opening. So i closed that out per the below thread.

I think you may want to pm the developer of kies to solve your issue, since I don't have your device, that's about as much help as I can be.

Im pretty sure i was at 4.3. So everything was working and then i found a random article saying that with the ALL_ATT_I337UCUFNB1_I337ATTFNB1_505595_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 update, you have to put in the PIT file again. So i did that and now my phone turns on and says custom, but then shuts off. I can go into download mode and recovery. I tried to factory reset everything but to no avail.

Hmm, the pit might be why you're having issues. Most updates don't need the separate pit file. If it's needed, it's often packaged in the main tar file. I would just redo the Odin flash without pit and factory reset afterwards.
