Greetings,
I am a physician in need of urgent help to get my phone working once again.
I have a verizon Note 2 that I Rooted with one touch application installed on the device. Everything has been working fine for months until I flashed updated Clockwork Mod Recovery today.
The phone would not boot with warning that “System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone.”
After pulling out the battery and holding rocker up, power, and home button I get to a green robot screen with message "downloading...do not turn off target !!"
The screen wont go beyond this.
What do I need to do to get my device functioning again.

[GUIDE][VZW Edition]How to Root/Rom/Return to Stock the VZW Galaxy Note II! thread and you should be good to go!
Step 1: Download and install Odin- http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...2&d=1340993443
Step 2: Download one of these stock images and pit file to a windows based pc. If Odin does not recognize the file then extract it with a program such as 7zip.
Official VRAMC3 4.1.2 5/5/13- http://www.hotfile.com/dl/224874128/...3_VZW.zip.html
This is the latest firmware image that will return your device to factory stock and locked conditions.
Official VRALJB 4.1.1 12/9/12- http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390214368362234374
This will wipe data and return your device to factory stock out of the box conditions. This file can only be used on devices that never took the VRALL4 or VRAMC3 OTA update. If this file is flashed on a updated device, Odin will fail @ sboot.bin.
Root66 stock VRALJB 4.1.1 12/2/12- http://androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390210501348163619 This is our very first fully functional rooted Odin image.. Thanks MrRobinson!! This file does not wipe data, lock bootloader, or replace recovery. Its simply a easy way for folks who want to flash back to rooted stock as a stepping stone to another rom.
SCH-I605_16gb.Pit- http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?05cj895zu3tls7z
Step 3: Power device off, hold the volume down/home/power keys until you see a yellow triangle, then press the volume up key to access "odin or download mode".
Step 4: Open Odin and connect the oem usb cable from pc to device. The driver should automatically install( it did for me on windows 7 64bit). There should also be a "comport number" in upper left hand corner of Odin indicating communication between the pc & device.
Step 5: Click on the pit function of Odin and select the sch-i605-16gb.pit file.
Step 6: Click on the PDA function of Odin. Select the stock VRALJB image you downloaded in step 1, then select start. This operation should take less than 8 minutes before Odin will say pass/reset.
Step 7: Your device should boot back up into factory stock 4.1.1 android! However, If your device is stuck in a bootloop, power the device off, press and hold the volume up/home/power buttons until the samsung logo appears. The device will boot into recovery and from there you will need to wipe data/factory reset, then reboot.

Hi, I'm having the exact same issue. I installed the 4.3 OTA update and rooted, but apparently did not unlock the bootloader so I caught myself in this lockout. I was wondering, if I repartition using the pit file, will that also wipe all the data from the internal sd drive? If I can avoid that by using the root66 rom, I would be glad to do so and save my junk. Thanks!

Effectively you are screwed atm. Sorry to say it that way but I'm cutting to the point. You cannot unlock with the ota. Don't try or you'll probably brick somehow. And DO NOT attempt to add a custom recovery

Incidentally, attempting to add a custom recovery will both softbrick your phone ('Unauthorized Software' message & no boot) AND trip the KNOX counter (voiding your warranty & making your phone ineligible for corporate use in a KNOX environment).
You can recover from this using Verizon's Software Update tool, but you'll have a wiped phone, stock recovery and a tripped KNOX counter.

I tried to do AdamOutler's unlock bootloader stuff, and when i flashed the unlocked bootloader file in his thread i got a boot loop, so i tried to flash the stock bootloader file also in his thread. now i get the yellow triangle saying i need to take it back to the store. i can still flash with odin and i just tried to flash the unlocked bootloader again and now i get a fail message in odin.
please help!
even if i can get back to the bootloop i'm willing to take it back to verizon at this point. i just dont want to do that with the yellow triangle, i could just make up some something for the bootloop.
Have you tried flashing back with the stock odin image?

the first thing you ever do before flashing anything on your device is have a stock rom to odin back on. second your not following directions. third your device is not bricked...flashing back to stock will bring it back.
I'm having a similar issue. I had followed adam's protocol for rooting and unlocking using CASUAL; once the process was completed I received a notification claiming that my device was now 'rooted and unlocked.' I then proceeded to download ROM manager and flash clockwork recovery and upon reboot receive the 'system software not authorized' message. At this point I attempted to use the official ODIN provided in droidstyle's guide on root/unlock/etc thread. I see a successful flash of the image but still cannot get out of the unauthorized system software error. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

i did! that's why i was a bit surprised that it didn't work. i downloaded both the VRALJB 4.1.1 stock image and pit file, placed them into their corresponding locations in ODIN and flashed away. should i be allowing ODIN to repartition the disk? (thanks for the help droidstyle!)

Hey guys. I own the Samsung galaxy sIII (gt i9300) . I have very recently rooted it and installed cyanogenmod 10.1.
Now the cyanogenmod is nice but it still has a lot of bugs and it lacks in a lot of aspects in comparison to the stock rom (i.e. touchwiz) as touchwiz has a lot of nifty features like smart view, smart stay , multi window etc
Now i would like to unroot my device and go back to the stock rom which was jb 4.1.2 .
Is it possible to downgrade from 4.2 to 4.1.2 ?
if yes then a complete tutorial would be highly appreciated for my problem . Thanks in advance. :laugh:
Yes, it's possible to go back, and for ease, I recommend wiping the FULL internal storage. You can always flash a 4.1.2 rom with Odin for PC.
It's not necessary to unroot just because you want to go back to the stock firmware. Or do you want to be able to get FOTA's?
1. Go here and select your OS, phone and region and then download the corresponding firmware: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3
2. Unpack it with WinRAR, 7zip or what you use.
3. Unpack the "Odin_3.04 files.zip" or whatever zip is alongside the odin tar file.
4. Boot your phone into download mode by holding Power+Home+Down button until the download mode appears, select yes/continue to go to the actual download/ODIN mode
5. Open ODIN and check if your phone's found. There should be a blue windows with some text in it like "COM:0" and that it says "connected" or "found" in the output window.
6. Click the PDA button and add your tar file which you extracted,¨
7. Make sure that "F. Reset Time" and "Auto Reboot" both are ticked an NO OTHER BUTTON WHATSOEVER!
8. When your firmware has successfully flashed and your phone reboots, force it to reboot into recovery mode by pressing and holding power+home+volume up and in the recovery select to factory reset by formatting/wiping data. BEWARE: This will format your entire internal memory, but is actually worth it when going from 4.2 to 4.1.2 since 4.2 has a different internal structure.
Sorry for threadjack, but i posted something almost identical to this 6 min after your thread

you'll also lose root access by going back to a stock rom.

Okay and just to double check, theres no need of using nandroid backup right? because i read it somewhere that if you downgrade from 4.2 to 4.1.2 then the phone goes into an endless bootloop

Only use triangle away if you're gonna send the phone in for repair.
err so if you flash a stock rom via ODIN over CM10.1 that's not unrooting? when you flash a stock rom you do lose root access. i've flashed my S3 back to ICS and JB a few times to get the damn firmware changes i needed and every time i wanted to go back to CM10.1 I had to reroot the phone.

Durr, obviously it removes root as it overwrites the system and the stock firmware you're flashing doesn't have the root files in there. However, if you use mobile odin as I use, you have an option to let it root for you.

I have CM 10.1 with CWM Recovery. How to go back to complete stock to get FOTA? What has to done for that?
Can i downgrade cyanogenmod 10.1(4.2.2) to cyanognmod 10(4.1.2) by just flashing through cwm? Been having problems with my headphones during viber,skype and phone calls woth my samsun galaxy tab 2 p3100. The person im callin cannot hear me. And after removing, the problem persist until u reboot and goes back to normal.
yes. wipe data
Wow...a bit confused here
So, if I'm running CM 10.1 and want to go back to stock rom, rooted. I can't just clear cache/dalvik and flash the CWM recovery-lte-sgs3-sprint-v5.zip then flash Galaxy-s-fre3-md4firmaremodemAIO.zip ??

12. When you see the PASS! message on Odin, disconnect the USB cable and close Odin
13. Now remove the back cover on your device and pull out the battery. Wait for about 1 minute and then place the battery back to its place.
14. Boot your Galaxy S4 into Android System Recovery mode: hold Volume Up+Home+Power keys together till the screen turns up and the Samsung logo blinks twice. Then release the Power button but keep Volume Up and Home keys pressed till you see the recovery menu. In recovery mode use the volume keys to scroll and power button to select options
15. Go to “wipe data/factory reset” option and wipe it
16. Then “wipe cache partition”
17. Finally, go to “reboot system now” and select it
18. Your Galaxy S4 will boot now. Usually, it takes a longer time than usual to boot the device, so wait patiently till you see the Welcome Set Up screen. You know well what to do here.
Can I use the No Wipe on my phone as is on MJ7? I have also blocked OTA and Frozen all Knox software. I have also put on the WiFi Hotspot toggle with other Toggles. Will I be able to use the NO WIPE version as is or do I need to undo all of this stuff first?
After you have done the NO WIPE will it retain root, as well as Safestrap 3.71?
Sorry for the shot gun of questions.

If you're on MJ7, you can't use these. They're the MDK build, android 4.2.2. Your phone already has android 4.3, and the bootloader won't allow you to downgrade.

Not if he's running all of those on a modded rom. I had all of that stuff on my MK2 rom. Although he couldn't have downgraded, he seems to be concerned with making absolutely certain that Verizon has as little control as possible.

I upgraded to VRUFNC5 and wow do I want to go back so I can get root again. I saw your earlier post about not being able to since the bootloader will not allow to downgrade.
My question is, won't Odin put a new image on the phone, everything included? Or does Odin just put a new system image on the phone and the bootloader is separate?
Thanks for lesson in advance....
I am such a moron.... lol. I somehow thought this was to upgrade to kitkat. Derp!

If he's running a modded ROM, he's running the MDK bootloader. Or, Safestrap. These are not safestrap-compatible.

this all happened after trying to upgrade a rom ... i ended up with a rom and no wifi , and since im not on a contract , i need the WiFi i tried gogolies-wififix-VZW-FN2-NC2-w-modules-SS.zip , but no go
so im lost now i once had
VZW S4 SCHi545, Android 4.4.2, Baseband NC5, Kernel 3.4.2
I rooted using towelroot, installed Supersu, terminal, busybox and safestrap 3.7.2
Rooting process went flawlessly. Used safestrap to flash Hyperdrive 17.1, which also went flawlessly.
Wifi did not work, which I expected because I read before flashing.
I downloaded gogolies NC2 fix, NC5 fix, VZW modules, etc etc etc. Tried numerous ways top get them installed without success.
So now I have 2 acceptable options...
#1 get wifi working
#2 revert to my backup
Currently, I have 2 issues, because I can't do either of those things above.
#1 Safestrap won't run (details follow)
#2 - Every time I try to install any of the gogolies zips I get # footer is wrong and # signature verification errors. Unknown sources is enabled, verify apps is off (I tried with it on and off). I'm using CWM from the Hyperdrive reboot to recovery menu to install the zips, because #1...

The MD5 is incorrect. It means it's a bad download. Redownload.
Is this for mdk2?
Thanks
Hello, as you guys have already figured out, I am new to rooting. In trying to use Odin to flash CWM into the S II, the phone will not boot after logo. Even when attempting to boot into recovery mode the phone just loops back to the logo. I think I messed up big time. Thanks for reading.
Your post tells us that you're trying to get a different recovery onto the device; it would be very helpful to know what you flashed.
Recovery on the i777 is packaged with the kernel, so you will gain a custom recovery by flashing an appropriate kernel. I don't think that the recovery can be installed separately on this device.
using desktop Odin to flash anything other than stock firmware will result in tripping the flash counter, and the phone will display the yellow triangle as the initial boot screen. Flashing custom firmware via desktop ODIN does NOT necessarily mean that the device won't boot, which leaves me wondering what you flashed.
What is your goal? It will be easier to direct you once we are properly aware of where you were, and what you are aiming to achieve.

Thanks for replying to my post. The first thing I flashed via Odin was the CWM KitKatcompatible tar file and that was when the problem started. Right now I'm trying to get the S II to boot past the logo.

Do you know what version of Android was running on the device before you flashed cwm?
My recommendation is to return to stock.
First, download the stock 4.1.2 Jellybean Full distribution, I777UCMD8 from the Download Repository. It's the next to last item near the bottom. The downloaded file is in seven-zip (.7z) format and you need to extract the contents using an archiving program. The resulting file, which will have a ...tar.md5 extension, is the file you will use in step 7 below. Also download Odin3 v1.85. There is a link near the top of the page in the Repository.
How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:
Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.
1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.
2.) Have the USB cable plugged into USB port on the computer, but *Not* plugged in to the phone.
3.) Shut the phone off.
4.) While holding down the vol+ & vol- keys, plug micro-usb plug into phone.
5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.
6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.
7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.
8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.
9.) Click the Start button.
10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.
11.) When complete, you will get a PASS (or FAIL if unsuccessful).
[...]
Once you have the phone up and running, Framaroot with the Aragorn exploit is the easiest way to root.

Whats the easiest way to receive the ota if running a rooted custom rom? Debating whether or not to go back to stock. Thanks

Download the NK4 tar here and use Odin to return to stock. Once on stock keep checking for software updates until you get it.

For whatever reason, I had to Odin twice to go back to stock.
Here is what I did:
1. Boot into recovery, wipe everything
2. Odin file, don't check automatic reboot
3. Once its done, pull battery, boot into stock recover, do factory reset
4. Reboot into download mode
5. Odin file again
This is exactly what I did and I received the update.
Edit - I used the original NAB image which was 4.4.2. It then automatically let me update via Sprint to 4.4.4, and then to 5.0
When using Odin, always make sure to power down your phone completely and then press and hold volume down, home and power at the same time. Then press volume up to confirm download mode.

I actually had to Odin 5 times before it would boot the last time I went into recovery and wipe data and factory reset the Odin nk4 tar. It finally booted but still says system status custom so when I check for updates its a no go.
I was running rooted SPRINT KK 4.4.4 N900PVPUDNK4 and now I'm on Lollipop w/ root and TWRP 2.8.6.1 (4.4.4 version) recovery. My steps:
1. Odin'd stock NK4 tar using Odin3 v3.09 in the AP slot (kept Auto Reboot & F. Reset Time checked).
2. Let phone reboot. Skipped all the setups.
3. Powered down phone than booted into stock recovery to perform a factory reset.
4. Once phone rebooted I went to 'System Updates' and let the OTA do its thing. Phone rebooted.
5. Powered down phone and rebooted into bootloader (everything showed official)
6. Odin'd TWRP using Odin3 v3.09 in the AP slot (UNCHECKED Auto Reboot & F. Time checked).
7. Pulled battery and rebooted into recovery (TWRP).
8. Flashed Chainfire's UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46 and rebooted.
9. Successfully rooted.
Is there a way to download the update and just flash it in stock recovery?
