That is a little strange. Is your boot loader even unlocked since you're still on stock. If not you should be able to just use the supersu app to unroot

Its unlocked now would that be the reason the stock tar wasnt working before cause it wasnt unlocked before and cant I use twarp to install the stock tar or do I gotta use odin

Being unlocked won't make it fail. Also to relock you will need to use Odin. Can you link the stock image you're using?
By the way don't forget to use triangle away to reset your flash counter before locking out back up.

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

Doesn't sound good. I'm not familiar enough with your phone to be much more help. Trying to find a pit file that'll help is very dicey. The only suggestion I have is make sure the stock rom is correct and check it's md5. Go to sammobile.com for the ROM and extract the .tar.md5 file out of the zip you download using 7 zip. Use that file in PDA in odin with only auto reboot checked.
Hopefully someone who is more familiar with your phone can step in. Good luck to you.

You're not hard bricked so that's the good news. Not sure where you got the stock rom but sammobile.com has skyways worked for me. Sometimes you have to keep trying to flash it in odin. I've had cases where it took a few tries. But make sure you flash on PDA with only auto reboot checked.

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.

Have a verizon s4 that was originally on mdk. I rooted, and have been using hyperdrive for some time. After many sudden random reboots, I decided to change to another rom, Gdux. When I lost wifi, it was recommended to flash a new kernel to restore this functionality. As soon as I did this, I got some screen that said return your phone to verizon, something about unauthorized software.
Searched and searched the net and found that I could odin back to stock again. I followed all instructions,but now phone won't boot past verizon splash screen, and it gets hot. REALLY hot while sitting there on verizon splash screen. I can't get to recovery, only download mode after I pull battery. Going to "lose" phone for warranty replacement if I can't get it to work. Please help!!!
Flash an MDK stock odin tar in download. You'll be good as new and be able to do what you want again

The phone boots to verizon splash screen and sits there, gets almost too hot to hold, and still nothing. I pulled battery after 30 minutes. Should I try to flash this and then another kernel tar?
Yeah
Make sure you're checking the .tar files MD5 for accuracy. Make sure it's compatible with your radio/baseband version as well.

I know that I originally started with MDK, there's no way to check anything now because it won't boot. I rooted the day I got the phone and haven't taken an OTA.
Still doesn't work, any other files I can try?

If you haven't taken any OTA's or flashed any radios, then you don't need to worry about that part.
Flashing the .tar file SHOULD have the kernel included... or at least I'm thinking it would. It should.
But after It flashes in Odin, let it sit for a good 20 minutes after it says success. Just so you can be assured that it had the time to flash successfully.

Yes.
