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
and tried to install open recovery script using goomanager. It put me into the download mode. I was finally able to get out of it. Do I need to do anything to clean up anything or just wait till the me7 is able to install a custom recovery?
Today I was using nav a bit and my device turned off on me several times. I don't know what's causing that to happen. Don't know if it has something to do with root or not. Hasn't happened before I rooted.
If your device is in the window it could be overheating. You could try uninstalling any updates/data and re update if that doesnt work then I would flash the me7 image through odin and re root and see if that solves the problem. Im on an me7 based rom and dont have that problem.

It was in my hand...
How do I do that? I can't use Odin because I have a Mac.
Hey Hexitnow...Didn't want to hijack the other thread but you said to reflash. Do I just do that by running the script in the terminal emulator on the phone again like I did the first time?
That im not sure about i dont think there is an odin version for mac. I could be wrong tho because ive never really looked either. There is another program called heimdall (google it and you can find it, instructions are in the readme) and you should be able to flash using that. But I would try uninstalling any updates/data before hand and see if that solves it.
Edit:
Rerun the script? Sorry im a little lost there.

This is the method I used.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380325
I gotcha. You can do it through application manager. After you get me7 reflashed then yeah you just do the same process over to get root back.

I'm bit of a noob again. I had Android for several years but I've had an iphone for the last 4 or 5 years and I've forgotten everything. Could you give me a step by step on what I should do? And does reflash mean going back to unrooted?
If you go into settings, more, application manager then scroll to the app in question youll see the options. When i say reflash I mean flashing the me7 stock image. After flashing it it puts your phone back to how it was when you first pulled it out of the box.

I was messing around and had a soft brick so I odin'd back to stock rom and got everything running and got root up and running. No matter how I do it I can NOT get a custom recovery to install. I tried Goo Manager which never actually downloads the file. I found the .tar file to install manually via Odin and it says it fails. I even tried clockwork mod to install clockwork recovery and it just boots me to the stock recovery. Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this?

Yeah it basically says once you have root access you can use Goo Manger or Clockwork Mod to install the pre Loki'd recovery. Neither one of those 2 work though it just says it does and then takes me back to the stock recovery.

Install the all in one root and recovery tool for mdk...since you are already rooted you can skip that step...select the prep for recovery option...it will clean up and get rid of things that interfere with custom recovery and then select install either oudhs or twrp...these will allow you to flash updated cwm/twrp versions which I recommend to ensure proper flashing of newer roms...once one of these is installed you can always use rom manager or goo manager or the others to update...but I believe the prep for recovery step is crucial in having a functional custom recovery

Our devices are quirky... Some will do just fine just randomly flashing recovery...others just won't behave without going through the prep for recovery step...I know I flashed stock with Odin once before rooted again and had the same problems getting custom recovery setup...used the same steps to fix it then too...I would recommend these for anyone having issues with recovery install

Hey guys. So thanks to Micmars I was able to break myself out of a terrible boot loop. The only real solution at the time was to use an exe file to push me into the NAB update. My goal was to then to go ahead and push a custom recovery and use SuperSU to root the device, followed by installing NABD. Problem is that it seems that the current stock recovery is unable to flash any of these updates. The broken android comes up when I enter stock recovery. Flashing a custom recovery fails as well.
Here are my goals:
1. Root
2. Flash TWRP
3. Install one of the latest and greatest custom ROM.
I need your help fellas. Any help is greatly appreciated and big shutout to Micmars for saving me from bricking my phone.

Now which recovery are you referring to? Is it the stock? I have tried multiple times with Odin to flash the stock recovery but it won't because it already has the NAB recovery installed and its not letting it do anything else because its saying that the operating system has been modified. so it's basically trying to box with me a bit.

To Start,
1. Remove any cases from phone.
2. Put Chainfire latest superuser on your phone,
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lbtuggkhqknm2ik/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip
3. Put TWRP 2.7.0.0 for TouchWiz KitKat on your PC,
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ptl8dyomprxxn0l/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-hltespr-4.4.img.tar
4. Using PC Odin (3.07 is fine), flash TWRP,
https://www.dropbox.com/s/z2n10tjzmxlhaz4/Odin3 v3.07.zip
[Unzip to your PC, run Odin as administrator, shut down your phone, put phone in download mode (volume down + home + power, then volume up to confirm), load TWRP tar into PDA slot, plug phone into PC using same USB port as one you've used before, keep automatically restart checked in Odin, hold phone in palm of your hand, get ready to hold volume up + home, hit start on PC Odin, hit start on PC Odin, when file finishes flashing, hit those buttons quickly, since the recovery file flashes in like 5-10 seconds, your now in recovery.]
5. Inject root,
Tap install from the TWRP, navigate to the location on your phone you put that superuser file, flick the knob, reboot.
You are now rooted with custom recovery.
From here, the world is your own. Lots of roms from which to choose, I recommend looking around the dev forums, you'll find something that's right for you. Might want to start with a TouchWiz rom, just because they are built from stock and they'll function as you'd expect. Try AOSP if you like, but those roms tend to take a bit more diligence on your end. No problem with that, but this will get you started with the least effort.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
Follow the OP instructions prior to flashing.

So NAB is stock essentially? Why am I constantly having warnings of modification and app crashes constantly.
Further the current recovery is broken. You know, the beat up droid on the ground. It won't allow me to install root. Is it possible I need an older root request?
TWRP 2.07 don't flash through Odin. We'll get it though. Let's keep at it.

Micmars! How good to see you again you old chap. Obviously since we last spoke I haven't had much progress. You really helped me getting to this point. We built a whole thread together and saved me $150 in insurance money to get me out of the brick. I don't have a computer on me but I've certainly tried a lot. If stick recovery is simply broken, how do I get of this mess?
I'm confident we'll have that new ROM in no time.

Dude, those are standard Knox notifications. If you have successfully rooted your device, just get rid of the damn things. Install freeza's Knox-free Stockish DeOdex or Odex NABD rom and be done with it.

My friend, I'm at a loss. There's really nothing I can go at this point. Broken stock recovery makes no sense to me, but that doesn't mean it's not possible.
Flashing working recovery that is custom would replace a stock recovery, working or not. At least one could speculate.
You obviously need to install root.
Go hit the qbking77 video on rooting this device and follow the instructions.

If you can't boot the phone and are stuck in download mode, you have soft bricked your phone. This happened because goomanager and TWRP are only compatible with the mdk bootloader. I'm not sure if there is an NG6 Odin tar available yet, but I'm pretty sure that's your only hope.
Safe strap is your only option at the moment. Which version did you try?

Version is Safestrap-JFLTEVZW-3.71
When installed it says ...
State: Not installed
And the reboot to recovery is greyed out.
Any other suggestions or thoughts?
I just got this phone so I guess the new versions are different and more secure than the old s4's

You need busybox from the play store also. After you download the app go into it and "install busy box". Get selinux mode changer also and set it to "permissive".
I have supersu, busy box and selinux installed. Earlier I didn't have selinux installed but when I did and set to permissive it didn't work still.

I only just noticed you said you were on NG6. Getting Safestrap to work with the update seems to be one of the issues right now. This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2905885 has some info that you may find useful and is probably where you should be asking your questions as the guy who made the OP is working on solving your very problem.
I've been looking around for a resolution to this myself but have yet to find one. I'm experiencing all of the same issues on newly rooted with NG6 Hopefully something gets figured out soon because my recovery menu also seems to be inaccessible after flashing with custom recovery using Rom Manager and TWRP Manager...also on a new phone, successfully rooted, with supersu, busybox pro and selinex installed. I'm glad my phone still works for the time being tho, and I'm sure I newbed at some point in the process lol. Fingers x'ed for a quick fix!
Thanks for that man. Let me know if you hear anything on this or if you figured it out. I will play around too.

I just ended up going back to NC5 using this guide for FULL WIPE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172...couldn't handle the reboots. Phone runs like a champ now+I got safestrap working properly.
If you wanted to keep the update, I know what you were doing wrong. Sorry for being late BTW. I saw that you couldn't get SafeStrap 3.71 to install. The latest working version for nc5 and ng6 is safestrap 3.75.
