Heres my problem. Got this phone off craigslist. I think the guy who had it tried to root it and screwed something up. When I try to update to the newest software it always fails. I am looking for a way to re flash all stock software back onto my sch i 605 note 2. The phone does not curently have any kind of recovery's downloaded. Is there any easy way to flash back to stock using Odin? Searched through all the forums and websites I could find. but just could not find exactly what I was looking for.
Hint: stickie in the section you're incorrectly posting in.

It depends on which method you want to run. You can use the rootzwiki leak which is a tar file used in Odin. Or you can use dagr8's CWM flashable zip.
Let me know which one you want to use and I'll give you further directions. (Odin method would be easier for newbs)

If you know how to use CWM I'd recommend using that one. I believe if you flash the rootzwiki one you will lose root and CWM.

I have done a nandroid and when you say flash i guess you mean load the exe through odin, if so it comes back as failed all the time, do i have to try a diff com or something.

I would suggest maybe starting with the collective First flight ics it just has fewer steps at this point. What you want to do is download the rom to your sd card and follow the instructions on wiping.
If you need more help feel free to pm me.

1. Back Up your Stuff.
2. Wipe Data/ Factory Reset
3. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache

Hi again coffinfeeder could you let me know what is using all my ram , is there something im not suppose to running.
Okay so i rooted my gs3 and got through it but then i change my mind about it and wanted to unroot it, that is when i discovered that i couldn't get root access, so i thought "i'll just root it again properly this time" i know so stupid of me. So i found this tut on how to do it right and i used the file from shiyahkernel as listed on the site. So i rooted it in ofin abd got a green pass, but then my gs3 turned on beginning flashing the icon from shiyahkernel and won't stop doing that.
I can still access download mode and recovery mode. I am pretty much a noob so please go in to details
Can anyone help me?
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!
Go into recovery and do a full wipe or...
Flash a stock Rom from sammobile.com
There's plenty of guides in this forum on how to do it.

Note the refused warranty was by the seller .Might be worth asking Samsung if its under their warranty .

Thank you all
Thanks for the help you guys it worked, my phone i s alive. What a great community :laugh:
I am not a noon by any means but I feel like one right now.
I have unlocked my note 2 twice already but this time, I am stumped.
I have reverted back to stock via Odin3, I am able to flash pit and bootloader baseline, but casual still calls me a noob.
Am I following step by step on Adams post.... No luck this time.
Any help would be great. Also, casual says my phone is rooted and I have su but titanium backup says that I am not rooted?
Thanks in advanced!
I just wanted to let you guys know, I have searched and troubleshooting for the past few days. I have tried over 30 times. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I have never had this issue. I feel like an @$$ for posting this but it's a last resort.

Did you accept the OTA from 1/18/13?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
No. I think my problem is that I can't find the revision 3 rom. When I click the link I get options to download Odin, bootloader baseline, the suck it Verizon package and another that I can't remember right now . I tried on the stock rom as well as stock rooted. No luck.

Solved! 63rd time was the charm. The only thing that I did different was downloaded the files directly to my pc instead of on my phone then usb transfer.

Guys I sold my old HTC One X for a used Galaxy s3 so I'm very happy with how it's been so far and I'm not regretting it at all.
It's firmware is 4.0.4 and I wanted to root my phone.
I followed this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJss1_dZZeY&list=PLIB9nMQ3IBuXuTz3PQJb3AMT1POhpYeXG
I did tried the step by step guide and video but I always got stuck and problems at the PDA section. It says FAIL.
I did tried searching for a fix but it seems even though I'm not the first neither the last with this problem I had no idea how to fix it.
I also tried the MACosx version with Heimdall and exactly the same, it fails during the PDA part.
What is my solution?
Thank you so much!
Your question should be in q/a section but make sure you know which s3 you have. I have the 9305 & there are like 4 different versions out there.
Second the easiest way to root and have fun with this phone is to download the all in one tool from the original dev section. It has everything u need in one package.
Have fun! I had the one x and this is tens times better in a million ways!!

I am trying to root my Fascinate sch-1500 but when I download the cwm 4.0 it shows up as a .bin file and Odin is looking for a .tar file. Anyone have an idea of how to fix this? Thanks.

I think I have a copy of it hosted somewhere. It may be in a thread under the general forum. There's a guide on how to install Gummy ICS and I think I hosted my own copy of CWM 4 there. If not, look for some other guides under the General forum

Thanks. I will look around but it just seems odd that a .tar would download as a .bin. I am new at this so I may just need to stay with what I have because I don't want to screw up my phone.
Edit: No luck finding a solution to my problem. No matter what I do the cwm file downloads in the .rar format and when I extract it goes to recovery.bin. I can't figure it out so at this point I am stuck and no one else seems to have ever had this problem. I keep thinking I am doing something wrong but I download files all of the time and I cannot imagine what I am doing to mess this up.
