Hello, I tried to do a unlock and root using casual on my note 2. It had errors doing it, and now all it does it load the "Galaxy Note II" screen and it disappears, and reboots again with no end. Is there a fix for this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I've tried to flash a root injected stock with odin, but it keeps failing...i can't seem to find anything else to do
Flash the pit file that is in one of the root forums. Fixed the same issue for me.
Just fyi, a brick is when your phone will not turn on at all so this wouldn't be considered a brick either way.

I'm currently having the same issue with my note, but Odin no longer detects my phone. I've tried both versions 1.87 and 3.07

The last thing i wanted to do is make a n00b post like this but i want to make sure i have missed anything so far.
I have a white 9100m that a friend gave to me. It was upgraded to stock Bell ICS when it was released. The phone got really warm in his pocket then shut off. When he tried to power it on it would just sit at the SGSII splash screen forever.
Some things to note:
- Download mode works
- Cannot get into recovery
- Phone charges fine
Now i have tried Odin to flash stock Bell ICS both with the appropriate pit and without. I have tried flashing a ICS CF-root to try and get into a CWM recovery and it doesn't work. I cannot also get the phone to be recognized with ADB with the android SDK installed or after installing kies.
I am lost and am ready to just send it in but perhaps i am missing something that people 100x smarter me will know. Any thoughts?
Theres a thread by Phistachio so have a look there.

Did you get any error while carrying out the instructions in that thread?
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
No error at all. ODIN successfully flashed anything i threw at it. This is why i am thinking its hardware related.
Hi,
After some assistance if possible.
I have the international version of GS2. Purchased in the UK.
Yesterday flashed the new Jellybean ROM through ODIN as found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113088
Worked fine for one day then phone froze this morning. Did a battery pull and on reboot stayed on the Samsung logo. Rebooted many times but still stuck at the same point. Reflashed the Rom through ODIN again but still stuck at Samsung logo.
I can access download mode, but not any kind of recovery.
From reading on here, I think the NAND(?) may be corrupted, but not sure, leading to the soft brick. Can anyone advise what I need to flash to get the phone up and running again?
Any help appreciated.
Mario.

Try flashing a kernel like siyah or Dorimanx in download mood. Then reboot into recovery and flash a JB custom rom
That did it. Thanks.

Odin isn't recognizing the restore file

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.

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 installed a rom, got into a bootloop that wasn't working. I attempted to use odin to flash to factory, but now I get the "firmware upgrade issue" screen when powering on or recovery mode. I can get into download mode, but I keep getting fail when I try to get back to stock. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it since I just got my note yesterday and want to get it working again (even on stock.)
note: I read for at least 2 hours and tried almost everything. My drivers are installed. New usb cord/port. Reboot computer etc.

Need more info to be able to help....what firmware were you are before you flashed via Odin? We you rooted? Did you have custom recovery installed? What firmware version did you attempt to flash with Odin?
I was on the stock 4.3 firmware, rooted the phone via odin, everything went smoothly. Then I downloaded a rom for sprint note 3, when I rebooted (cleared cache and factory wipe) the samsung logo just kept popping up and rebooting. I was using clockworkmod, but now when I try to access it I just get the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue." ODIN just keeps failing no matter what I try. I am trying the latest N900P stock firmware.
is it time to throw in the towel and see if Asurion can get it replaced? or at this point is it fixable?

I realized that I am an idiot and was using a different model number and downloaded MJ4, worked like a charm. But now I want to get to the root of the issue (pun intended.) Why did the rom I used start the bootloop that was not fixed by clearing the cache and factory wipe? I found it right here on the sprint note 3 section of XDA. It was the MINIMUS rom.
