I was on the latest nightly of cyanogen mod and I wanted to flash back to stock using the toolkit/odin.
I downloaded the .tar.md5 file and followed the instructions, but when it reset at the end something must have went wrong because now it just keeps flashing Samsung Galaxy Note 2 screen over and over.
Any tips on how to fix it?
I should add that I can boot into download mode, but not recovery

Don't use that toolkit. There is a file associated with it that has prerelease software and once is on your phone, there is nothing you can do to root or unlock. Only follow droidstyle's guide.

Well I figured out what I did wrong, and I derped hard.
Basically I just need to be able to turn my phone on again and I'll be able to do it no problem.
I forgot to add the .pit
Any idea how to get my phone functioning enough to try again?
Edit: on Odin everything seemed to check out. It said pass at the top, but now I am stuck in bootloop.
It does the Samsung thing, then the 4G LTE screen and keeps repeating.
Any ideas?
Yes I wiped the phone before flashing
Seems as if the problem has been solved. Thank you

Are you still using that damn toolkit? Go to the guide and only use the files from there. Try to use the alternate restore and pit.

You did some **** that you shouldn't have done without reading first. If you had done any damn research you would know why the i9100 screen pops up. And it isn't because your phone thinks its an i9100.
Its covered in the stickies in this forum section. Open your eyes and read.

No one can help you unless you provide enough useful information about what you have done. You should have read and learned enough to avoid making a mistake in the first place, but if you will tell us what you have done, maybe you'll get some help. What exactly did you flash with Odin? Provide a link to it? You did not get the warning on boot from flashing stock. What method did you use to try to enter download mode? To try to enter Recovery?

Not familiar with that particular file, but we have seen a multitude of problems from flashing firmware provided by galaxys2rootdotcom. Please use an archive program to open the tar and list the contents back here. (I don't want to download 387MB just to look at it.)

That's not a galaxys2root produced file. That is the straight stock Kies file which they downloaded from SamFirmware or Samsung Updates. That didn't cause the problem.
You say you can now not enter either download mode or recovery?
Don't do a wipe data with that installed if you do get into recovery!

I'm not sure why your phone is having problems. You should be able to just flash stock and start over. If it were my phone, I would flash UCKH7 stock plus root, install a Gingerbread custom kernel, and then pick a firmware from the development forum. If you choose to follow that path, be sure to open the Oden window first before putting your phone into download mode. If you need additional information, there is plenty of help in the guides and threads linked in my signature.

Did you flash a custom kernel and then flash a new rom?
Hey guys, I was trying to root my Note 2 and I ran into a problem. I used the method outlined in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207 which uses Odin to install the root66 Odin image. Everything went just fine and I used rootchecker to confirm root. Superuser was good to go. Next I went to install a recovery (CWM) so I could do a backup. I installed ROM manager from google play and installed a custom recovery. When I rebooted into recovery I got a message saying the phone had non authorized software on it and to take it to a verizon store. I did a little searching and found a thread that recommended using Odin to reflash the image. Did that. And got the same thing. Should I restore it to stock image as descriped a little further down in the thread (mentioned above)?
Follow instructions to restore with the LL4 update. Then unlock your boot loader next time before installing cwm.
Also next time post this in the right section (QA). Pretty sure you're not releasing anything. I went ahead and reported this to get it moved
Sent from the dark on a Note 2
Sorry about posting in the wrong area.
Anyhow, I'm a bit confused. Were exactly are the instructions to restore with the LL4 update?
I tried to restore per the instructions and Odin failed. Not sure what to do next.

Extract it before trying to Odin. So right click and choose extract. If it didn't work download 7 zip and use it to extract the file

Ok, got it this time. I didn't realize I had to extract the alternate file first.
I was able to flash the correct file this time and the phone is back up and running.

There is not a stock 4.2.2 for our phone. So I have no idea what you used. I hope you weren't trying to flash a custom ROM with odin. You need to follow droidstyle's guide to try to get back to our stock software.

Wow. You need to read a LOT more before you start trying anything. At this point, all you are going to do it screw things up and once that happens I guarantee you are going to go back to Verizon and say "I don't know what happened."
Stop randomly attempting things. Your first step is figure out why casual failed and fix it.

That's why I need to know if you used Safestrap as your recovery. It's very likely you're trying to flash the wrong file with Odin.
If you had Safestrap your build wasn't MDK. If you didn't need Safestrap then your build was MDK.
So I'll ask again, what file are you trying to flash, with Odin, that keeps failing?

NO!!! You cannot flash the MDK file, you cannot downgrade the S4! Always ends badly, go to the general section and grab the NC5 full-wipe tar and flash with ODIN.

From here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172. I would choose the "Full Wipe" version. Make sure you have a good download. Check MD5. Make sure you follow the directions for Odin. If you verify all of that, and it still doesn't work, I'm afraid I won't be any more help. Someone with more knowledge than I have will have to step in. Good luck.

I can vouch for the full Version. Saved my bacon.
You have to boot the phone into a special mode that will allow ODIN to funtion
Turn off the SGS4 and boot it into Download/Odin Mode: press and hold the Volume Down, Home and Power buttons simultaneously for a couple of seconds till you see a warning screen. Then press Volume Upkey to enter Download Mode.
