Ok here we go, I used Casual to root my i605 and flashed the wrong Rom(Hawki s4 for the 7100) it worked but it didnt recognize my sim card. Then the next day I started getting a yellow triangle saying unauthorized software found on device. Please power your device off and go to the nearest Verizon store. it would still work just no sim reading. Now it only will show the yellow triangle. I need to unroot the phone so I can send it back under warranty. Got a replacement already. Just need to return the old one so im not charged 600+.

What you should have done in the first place, instead of asking for a replacement and conspiring to commit fraud, is flashed the phone back to stock via Odin. This is why Verizon locks the bootloaders, people mess their phone up BY NOT READING and expect the carpet to replace it instead of owning up to their mistake.
Since you haven't been reading here is a link to droidstyles guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207
Section 1b explains what you need to do. After you fix the phone, which is very easy, *you* need to read the WHOLE GUIDE at least once before you do ANYTHING to your new phone. If you have any questions about anything ask the community.
Next time read before you do ANYTHING! If you mess your phone up, by flashing a ROM or tweaking with it in some way, grow up and accept responsibility for screwing it up and either fix it yourself if it's soft bricked or have it JTAGed (by the guys at http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/) if it's hard bricked. Don't commit fraud by forcing Verizon to pay for your **** ups, the community does not appreciate that because *WE* end up paying for people committing fraud.

It is fraud because you directly said you need to return it for warranty.
Addition: I did try flashing in Odin but The Odin3.07 on my computer didn't recognize my device. I do have the Samsung device driver on my laptop it just wouldnt recognize the device. Believe me I search for weeks before I even made this post.

The problem isn't that you made this post. If you had made this post upon first realizing you had flashed the incorrect rom you wouldnt have had to contact Verizon at all. The problem is you ARE committing fraud. The $100 or $200 you paid to replace your phone is subsidized by the warranty/phone insurance which is void if you have tampered with the phone's software, or are the direct cause of any damage caused to it I believe. Your mistakes affect everyone on Verizon. XDA is founded on the sharing of knowledge. Dont bash someone for tough love and A DIRECT LINK to exactly what help you need.

+1 no amount of back peddaling will save you from the fraud that you already committed by warrantying out your phone, yes we can all read your 1st post, because you screwed up.
And this thread is prime exame why carriers are locking bootloaders...I guess I will break out the crayola crayons for the next guide I write.
The reason why odin did not recognize your device is because casual borked the driver...this is explained in the stickies.

You have been given the link to Droidstyle's guide by shangrila. All the info has been provided to you. If you can't follow directions to fix it, that's your own fault. Droidstyle's guide is written extremely well so you can't blame it on anyone but yourself. So when you can't fix it and you get charged for the phone, I'm pretty sure you will blame this community for not helping but no one will care. Have fun
Similar incident happened to my GN2 (Casual crashed my phone). Read droidstyles guide, and was up and running.
I panicked at first, but kept searching & found what I needed. Hope this helps!! There are VERY knowledgeable people here to help, but you MUST try to fix it yourself first, or ask WHERE to find a thread/guide. THANKS!!

exactly my point when I said calling the kettle black...
a mature individual would man up and pay the piper for his mistakes....instead of committing fraud for a simple mistake that could of been easily fixed by following stickies in this forum. a warranty claim is there for when a device fails mechanically or at the hardware level...its not there for incompetent users who cant follow directions. again this goes back to my post why verizon and other carriers are locking bootloaders. the yellow triangle is there to let verizon know you are a noob that tried hacking the device unsuccessfully.

OK, upon rereading I see the guy screwed up his phone by flashing the wrong rom. He either irresponsibly didn't read up enough or irresponsibly ignored warnings to only flash roms made for your model.

Yes and then he doesn't bother to try and fix it, he called a Verizon and got them to send him a new phone by playing the "I don't know what happened but now it is bootlooping" card instead of owning up and fixing his **** up. That is fraud, why we pay such a premium price, and why they're locking our bootloaders.

Ok........ for all the know it alls. I wasnt returning for a software issue. I was returning for another because my child broke off a piece of the headphone jack in the port. that was my error, it's an insurance situation not warranty. I have another I bought at full price and I do have more than one that I flashed I just never ran into the triangle. Everybody is so concerned about committing fraud when ppl already committed fraud by unlocking their phone flash back to stock rom and sending it back for warranty. I never committed fraud because I still have the phone. I spent my money. I came here for help. Not for people to be condescending. I own up to my fault. I appreciate the help.

Thats a cop out...if this was the case you would of mentioned in the first few posts, not after being put on blast for fraud.
Its not fraud to mod your phone, all that does is void the warranty. Putting it back to stock and sending it back is far from fraud as the device was returned as recieved. However bricking a device because you do not know what you are doing and then calling verizon for a warranty replacement is fraud...Nice try

That's what you should have done in the first place. You might be better off trying to get a warranty replacement. If the phone is bricked, they won't be able to tell if you tried to do something to it anyway. Just an idea. Hope you learned your lesson. Should have been a given.

About a half hour of reading in the first place would have saved you the 600+ dollar paperweight you just created. In a half hour, you could effectively figure out that n7000 ROMs are a big no-no for the i717, learned how to root your i717, learn how to flash CWM on your i717, and flash an i717 ROM to your i717.
Not to condone screwing over AT&T, but I would suggest you do the following, if you by chance have the monthly insurance on your phone: report it lost or stolen, pay the $200 deductible to order a new one, then take your old one which is now completely useless, and smash it with a hammer, run it over with your car, burn it, spray paint it, burn it again, smash it some more, wrap a strip of firecrackers around it and light it off, use it for target practice for the nearest firearm or paintball gun, then put it in a display case to keep in a prominent location in your home or office as a reminder of what a lack of reading can do to your device. Then, while you are waiting patiently for your new i717 to arrive in the mail, take the time to READ everything you can about your specific phone so you know every in and out of it before it is in your hands.
All joking aside, the best you can probably do is report it lost or stolen, order a new one, and then see if somebody needs it to try out JTAG repairs for the Note. I'm not sure if JTAG has been accomplished on the i717 yet, but that's probably the most use your phone will ever provide again.

If your phone just sits there and does absolutely nothing, nothing at all, like a corpse, then that and ONLY that is a brick.

Yours is an error that people make fairly routinely. Since you are familiar with other phones, you think the same information applies to this phone, and then you don't take the time to read and verify your assumptions.
On the SGH-I777, ClockworkMod Recovery is built into the kernel, and therefore it is not recommended to use Rom Manager, or try to flash CWM separately. As you learned, that can be dangerous.
If you are unable to get any signs of life from the phone at all, then I would suggest you follow the advice above to use a USB jig first to see if that will get you into download mode.
If the phone shows any signs of life, let us know what.
EDIT: Or... if as the other thread implies, your sister's phone is SGH-I727, then ignore the above, and go look for help in the 727 forums.

Also before it's said I'm in the military and a firm believer the omitting the truth isn't the same as lying essentially if they don't ask you don't have to tell them or volunteer it same goes with anything in life if offered a great job that didn't run a background check and didn't ask would you tell them you have a felony?

+1. He damaged the phone by doing something without understanding what he was doing. The phone is dead because of something he did, something that explicitly violates the warranty. Sending it in for warranty repair is committing fraud.

Read my laundry list post above and technically it was deemed during the entire apple jailbreak fiasco that they can warranty a device not the firmware and that it's your device to do with what you want they may not cancel a warranty for changing software Samsung tried it to me and ended up sending me a new device 1 month after purchase because I knew the legalities and I read my TOS agreement he does have the right to send it in and Samsung will decide if the device is unrecoverable which he would be at fault or if it's a simple repair which they will warranty under user stupidity very few of you have called or spoken to Samsung let alone sent in for repair replacement so if you don't know what your talking about your best to step out of the thread as your only adding speculation at that point
SAMSUNG has apart of their TOS that says we will supply a warranty replacement for your device at our discretion and that they may reject a warranty claim if they accept said claim its not fraud under no circumstances do I condone or recommend fraud this is simply following their TOS if they ask if you flashed firmware I'd say be honest but it's your choice if they don't ask which they rarely do then they will run down list of things with you punch it and their warranty software will make a preliminary decision

This really isn't complicated. If you mess with your phones, like we are,.it voids your warranty. Trying to get them to replace the phone when you're the one that messed it up is not cool. I mean we all know the risks here.

People screwing their phones up, by not reading thoroughly and asking questions if they dont understand before flashing ****, and then getting VZW to exchange them is why the rest of us who have real problems that aren't caused by our tinkering end up getting screwed.
If you brick your phone flashing, or just generally screwing around with it, man up and figure out a way to fix it or get a new phine without comitting fraud.

Actually, if you do something to your phone that causes it to stop working and submit a warranty replacement request, it is fraud. There is a very, very slim chance to anything to your phone that bricks it if you leave it stock, and the only time you run that risk is during an OTA update really. To do it TWICE says the OP was doing something they didn't understand and caused a problem themselves. It's exactly the reason VZW and other carriers are locking bootloaders and making it harder to get them unlocked, because people keep damaging them themselves and submitting a warranty return.
Dude you work for verizon? If thats the case then the millions of people that bricked their phones are what u described in the post???? Get real man. we are with you not against you so stop seriously.

First off check the tude. Imnuts and many others are the reason we have root and abilities to do things on our phones. Show a little respect, please.
And really if someone tries to root it, it is a violation of the agreement one agrees. It voids the warranty and TOS agreement. So it is fraud to return it for that reason. And finally if one tries it once and bricks mistakes happen, But twice, one should evaluate if they should be tinkering with the phones this way.
With that said I have the 4.1.2 bone stock Note 2. Check my signature for the link I just used Casual and it rooted and unlocked in 4 mins.
I respect everyone here to the fullest.But please dont act like your the hack police, you were a newb once too and Uh he was the one cursing in his post. Obviously the kids a newb and a jacktard.Cut him some slack or just get him booted if thats the case.All the sudden everyones a law abiding hacker??? Please stop being a hippocrate.

No one is being a hypocrite. I have never bricked my phone because I busted my ass reading and asking questions if I couldn't find any answers to my questions when I was a newb. I have always recieved help when I needed it and even when I didnt, the problem is this kid has bricked 2 phones by doing **** he clearly doesnt understand instead of asking questions first.
He is the reason we are all getting screwed with replacement phones and prices, and yes it is insurance fraud. The contract covers certain things but bootloader unlocking and bricking is not one, you can root and you'll still be covered but there is very little you can do to kill a phone with just root.
I do like that youre trying to defend your point but there is no need for name calling in this, if you want to have a discussion have one without calling people hypocrites or acting rude in your follow up. Also there is a very fine line between newb and fraudster which the OP crossed.
Also if you have been here long I dont know how you jave missed all the threads about people committing fraud just like this kid, thats why the majority of the community have such short patience, or in some cases tempers, with the fraudsters.

Its this type of mentality thats ruinining these forums!! The bottom line is that it is fraud...I bet both devices were fixable, these devices are hard to fully brick....its like iphone users gone wild around here. folks need to learn to read! Thats how I got started and I have never bricked a device. Its called research twice flash once!

Just wondering if anyone could answer this for me real quick. I had recently hard bricked my LGOG (did the most stupid, noob thing u could imagine) and had insurance on it thru ATT. Got them to send me a replacement and now I'm worried they will know that I had rooted/unlocked it and the cause of the 1st phones failure was caused by me and therefore voiding the warranty. The lady I spoke to about the warranty explained the process to me then explained to me what happens if warranty is voided, and its not pretty. Kind of nervous now. Anyone done this before or have knowledge on this subject?? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Just realized this might be in wrong forum section. Sorry. Q&A, troubleshooting may be more appropriate.

If you have insurance... you can just say you lost the phone, which means you can't send it in. That way they have no idea the warranty was voided.

Well, you should honestly not exchange phones that you brick. You guys even have bootloader unlocked so you must have noobed hard to actually brick the phone. Why didn't you just use lgnpst?
I have no idea if they'll find out. But you said you had insurance, insurance covers basically anything with a deductible so as long as your ok paying the deductible I wouldn't worry too much.

I have been told they don't do in-debt checks of the phones returned. Don't know if that's true though.

OK. Well good info guys. And yes I noobed it beyond belief. I'm really embarrassed to say what I did but heck with it. I flashed ICS custom ROM over JB stock ROM. :banghead::banghead:
Straight up hard brick. No download mode, nothing at all. Tried unplugging the battery/plugging back in. Nothing. Fin. Was going to just say I just lost it. That was orig plan but I thought by doing that I would have to get new number. Found out that's not the case after the fact . Lol. :banghead::banghead::banghead:
U live and u learn I guess. Its funny though, I always learn something very valuable by making the biggest mistakes. Lol.
Thanks again for the great info guys.

I'm pretty sure they won't find out... or if they do... they won't penalize you for it..
My buddy sent his back through insurance and it was bricked and he got his replacement phone with no issues.

Well that's what I thought too. Here's exactly what I did. I had the new stock JB 4.1.2. I had debloated it. U know, i customized it to my liking, ie, ME's super awesome B18c1 kernel, etc. ect. I had LGNPST'd it to the new JB. At&t phone BTW. Anyway when I first got this phone 1st thing I did was root/unlock and installed Snow's JB ROM. Once official JB came out along with the new 4.2.2 ROMs (vanilla root box, chaos) I wanted to try those and LGNPST'd to official like I stated earlier. Well, out of all those ROMs, and I don't know why but, Snow's JB ROM with ME's kernel worked so amazingly and I loved it. Most of all battery life was just retarded good. So, that's when i, without thinking too much about it, decided to flash back Snow's ROM over the JB ROM. Soon as I did that instant brick city. I just thought it may have had something to do with the TZ partition or something like that. I've soft bricked my phone a couple times by just not thinking clearly and never had any problems getting into download mode and LGNPST'ing back to whatever I needed. I'm just thinking now I should have LGNPST'd back to 4.0.4 or whatever it was before 4.1.2. Idk. Maybe someone can shed some light on the subject. Idk. Doesn't really matter now. I will never do that again. Anyway, thanks for the replies. I feel a little better. Thanks again. I really love the XDA community and love our little LGOG community!

I've returned two 'bricked' phones. I unrooted and set back to stock all my root changes, and then did a full factory reset, and the phone would fail to boot (softbrick most likely) and both times I didn't hear a peep. And this was without the boot failure being the reason for the return. So, if they don't ***** about that, you shouldn't have any trouble.
You can file an insurance claim for any reason, your fault or not so long as you don't mind paying the deductible. Warranty exchanges are what sometimes get people in trouble, they're for manufacturer hardware/ software issues.

In the future feel free to use the report button to let the MODS know to move it.
This is my second hard bricked LGOG that I'm getting a replacement for via warranty. This last hard brick was from a teenybin which I found funny. Either way, my phone had a locked boot loader for the second round. 1st one was unlocked, rooted etc etc and no one noticed. You should be good.

I am new to rooting and needless to say I bricked my phone. I looked through all available resources on the internet and came across Mobiletechvideos.com and was very skeptical, called them and finally sent my note 2 from verizon to them. Took about a week and I got my phone back better than new!!! I would like to share these guys for anyone who has run out of options and is stuck with a bricked phone. They were awesome and the real deal. Repairs made were brick repair and root rom Jedi x. Phone and installed rom worked flawless. Thank you Mobile Tech and day forum member for their posts. If I can help one person with this info I am happy.

Must not of checked to hard! I'm new to unlocking and rooting and flashing roms!
