So I tried to root my Note 2 today. I had rooted it once before using Casual this past summer, but due to circumstances i had to get a new one.The replacement came in today, and i tried to root it with the same methods. I believe my mistake was using Casual while i had 4.3 installed on my device. I'm not TERRIBLY android savvy, but i knew enough to know that if i ****ed up i should stop while i'm ahead and ask you guys.
tl;dr
Long story short, while using Casual to root my Note 2 with 4.3 on it, i got this message
ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!ERROR: recovery upload failed!ERROR: Failed to send end session packet!waiting for device
waited for a good 30 minutes, nothing was changing, turned off phone and now it's bricked, looping at the "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" Splash screen.
I believe i have to use Odin for something but i could really use some help and reassurance before i continue.
Needless to say i will be jamming f5 on my thread until everything is resolved!
Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: Since i posted this, i tried to flash a stock firmware on Odin (4.1.2 i believe) and it failed halfway through the procedure. with nothing more to be done, i reset my phone, and where before it was just bootlooping, it now shows me an entirely different screen reading "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Since then i have tried a different firmware file, still 4.1.2, Odin get's to the very end of the procedure, and crashes at what i assume is the reboot portion. Desperately need assistance!
You can't flash anything other than 4.3 if you have the 4.3 bootloader.

OH. That makes a lot of sense....
I will try to flash a 4.3 firmware right now. Will i need some sort of .pit file or something to fix the initial bootloop? Or is that problem just totally blown out of the water at this point?

I cant seem to find the file anywhere. Only on terafile via SamMobile, but the download link doesn't seem to work.
What are my options as far as this bootloader go?

I did a bunch of searches on the site as i was f****ing my phone up, systematically. Im really sorry if this thread doesn't go here, i just didn't know who else to ask
YES!
Found the proper 4.3 file, flashed it via Odin. Everything is stock and ready. If anybody wishes to help me root it from here or point me in the right direction that'd be great but other than that, thanks for letting me post here and thanks to those who helped me out!

I found myself in the same situation. Where might I find the PIT file? I can't reboot the phone to get the PIT file because it's soft bricked like mzaric's phone was. I'm using Mac OS X so I'm having to use JOdin3 to flash the stock 4.3 firmware back, but without the PIT file I can't continue and I've searched endlessly to find the PIT file. Also a somewhat related question, I heard JOdin isn't good for flashing big files, but I have no alternative, is the stock firmware which is 1.1gb too big to flash?
EDIT: I sadly didn't search hard enough thank you droidstyle for the guide. But my next question is I'm unsure of what version the phone is because when I originally tried to do the CASUAL unlock I believe it was on 4.1.2, but I think it softbricked to begin with because it was 4.3. Should I just try doing the 4.1.2 and if it doesn't take, retry with the 4.3?
If you flashed n7100 firmware you are screwed. If not just Odin back to stock. You were on 4.1.2 if you were unlocked using casual. Don't go to 4.3

you have a serious problem on your end...either your computers have viruses or your not telling the whole story. the files work fine i have used them all. i would try installing a fresh copy of windows on your pc.
alternative option: send me your device and 20.00 and i will unlock it and put whatever rom you want on it, then send it back.

Use SirVilhelm's post for the Odin flashable and make sure you are using the Odin exe from Adam's bootloader unlock thread. Or flash Revision 3 instead of the full stock image. I borked my phone slightly and this worked.
Uncheck auto reboot, and after it finishes unplug and pull battery and wait for 10 seconds so it doesnt keep going back to odin.
Report back if it works at all

your getting corrupt downloads because of something on your end...That's the part your failing to understand... you keep saying "oh well that don't work for me"....ok but there must be a reason.

Take a step back make sure your doing everything correctly and make sure your pc is clean and no viruses...again its something on your end.

Very informative response.I thank you a bunch. I ended up using Imnuts stock rom and she booted up fine.I needed to know when those special rooted stock files were there ending in xz format.I could not get Odin to see them.I was not going ti buy this whole brick thing because I was at least able to get into Odin.
I have yet to get Casual to work though even though my machines see my phone in ADB

Hey guys I need some help here.
I have the SCH-i605, and I tried to root it. Something went very wrong and now when I try to turn it on it simply flashes the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen. I can power+home+volume down to get it into the download screen. But my computer doesn't recognize it. Any ideas? Your help is greatly appreciated.
I'm in the same boat and it has to be a driver issue. I've uninstalled and reinstalled so many times that both pc's are on strike. I'm seriously stuck in download mode only and odin isn't seeing the phone either. Can someone talk me off this ledge? Many thanks to this forum. Julie
(I've tried all the return to stock stuff that worked once then stopped)

Yep-- turns out to be a fatal error.
I had the same issue last night after trying to use CASUAL root method. After reading a lot of posts I was able to find that by using ODIN and flashing only the PIT file from the other rooting post I was able to get the phone back up.
If you are having trouble with ODIN seeing the device go on and remove the drivers for your device and then try again.
I can get links to the posts if needed, just on my device and would be easier from computer.

You are correct. I was looking around and noticed the same thing about the PIT file. I tried my computer at my office, and it could see my phone just fine. In fact using the Odin3v185, I was able to get my phone back with the PIT file and root my phone with the root66 file. I flashed back to 4.1.1, then rooted it.
Noob here, thanks in advance for any help. I have a rooted vzw note 2 through Odin root66, I've tried unsuccessfully to flash a new rom, always get the dreaded yellow triangle from big brother. I need to unlock the bootloader but am still a bit timid in exploiting things. I've tried flashing with clockwork mod and goo, with the same result, and manage to return to root using Odin root66 etc... I wonder if I can use casual since I'm already rooted? I'm on stock Os 4.1.1, so close and yet so far away from flashing... any help appreciated, thanks

You have to use Causal if you want to flash a rom. Rooting just gives you root access, to flash a rom your bootloader has to be unlocked and you have to have a custom recovery installed. Thats what Casual does, it unlocks your bootloader and installs you first custom recovery for you. Once that is done you will be able to flash roms, not before.
How did you miss that? Its written in all the guides.

I wish you could. I didn't see the Casual One Click until 5 minutes after I rooted. When you try casual, it will check your bootloader and give you a long message saying a lot of things that basically call you dumb for not reading. I'm currently trying to return to stock but I can't extract an .xz file to get it back to stock because it fails at sboot.bin. Sorry man

If it fails at sboot.bin use the alternative recovery ROM in droidstyles guide and flash it in Odin.
As far as I knew you can use CASUAL to unlock, you just have to use the newest version.

Flash Root66 or the alternative restore with the NAND erase box in Odin checked. If it won't flash just the ROM in Odin try flashing the ROM + the PIT by following the instructions in droidstyles guide in Android Development.

Try using ODIN and flashing the stock tar file. That should set you straight. You should be able to find what you need in the Android Dev section. If you are new to ODIN, open the app on your pc, click PDA, find the stock tar file, ensure "repartition" is unchecked and hit start. That should get you back to 100% stock. Do any applicable system updates and attempt the root process again. If you have any troubles look for qbking77's Note 3 root guide. Good luck. If all else fails I'd try a return and hope they don't know how to check for the flash flags.

On Kies go to Tools and choose Firmware Upgrade and Initialization
After some prompts for inputing first the Model number and the S/N, Kies will start downloading the software and will prompt you when to connect your phone..

Yeah says they're invalid serial numbers. I asked a buddy of mine to give me his numbers and I get the same error with his. I did the DEC number as both full XXXXXXXXXXXXX and XXX XXX XXX XXX etc ...
Neither work. Also tried with HEX. Guess I'm just seriously SOL.
So i have Samsung Galaxy S4 that is stuck in the Firmware upgrade encountered error mode. I was attempted to root it with the Odin and Root_de_la_vega.
My phone is a Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 - VRUDMl1
I already attempted to do a Kies Recovery but it is telling me my S/N is not correct. I tried every word/letter underneath the battery.
I already saw the No-Wipe Factory Image Guide. I tried that but it fails everytime when it gets to the point that says ABoot. Don't really know whats left i can try.
Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks

Did you try to upgrade to mj7. If so that is the best option is to flash that odin image. Can't go backwards.

You sure you had the ml1 image when trying to flash a previous firmware it fails at aboot. Verifying the md5 is also good to make sure you didnt get a corrupted download.

It can if you saved root from ml1. People are working on it right now tho theres a thread in the general section about it.
