i could enter to download mode but odin give me fail message...
what should i do...

Try using the .pit file also in Odin with whatever stock rom? your using hopefully it's not a 4.3 stock rom or you will be locked out from anything custom...
Once you have a custom recovery and using custom roms you shouldn't us Odin or Casuals unlock & root method ever again unless you have problems with recovery bootloops or radio etc...
I didn't understand what you meant when you said dn3 rom didn't have "unlock feature"
I've never heard of dn3 rom but I will go look.

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH OffTheChainz and Bonkurei!!!!
i found and use .pit file and my phone came back to normal...thank you !!!!!!!
and btw...if i unlock the bootloader once is this unlock goes to permanent?

@corean0213
Use this method and r515 build shared here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272066 Thanks to AdamOutler
I didn't have any luck with the newer builds working. Take your time be patient if you run into problems after trying multiple times you can always revert back with your pit and stock rom. Keep that handy for emergency.
Once you get TWRP recovery with Casual your golden.
I suggest trying Alliance Rom build 25 if you like custom everything, like myself or give OhTrent Rom if you want something very sweet and simple for your Note 2! Other people might recommend something else....
Glad we was able to help!
I've been using these forums for years and sponged my brains with info and absorbed some of it lol
Feel I should help with what I can your absolutely welcome!

[Q] Help! Did I brick my phone after Odin/Siyah?

Apologies for the desperate newbie question, but here goes--
I have followed the instructions in the stickied tutorials or tried to follow them so far. I rooted my SGH-i777 using framaroot. No problem there.
I got Mobile ODIN and the latest siyah CWM. I flashed the kernel.
When I try to power on I get stuck at "SAMSUNG" and then phone appears to power off.
I can get into recovery mode using vol up, vol down and power. I see the Siyah screen, etc. But that's as far as I can go.
HELP!
It seems to be that you flashed the wrong kernel what kind of ROM are you running touchwiz or aosp

Thanks for your response. I flashed the latest Siyah kernel after reading the "How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter!!" thread. FWIW in recovery mode it says "CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2-Siyah"
I had actually factory reset my SGH-i777 before rooting and flashing so I was running the Touchwiz that comes stock with the SGH-i777.
Any steps I can take to get out from under this rock? :crying:

Yes. Not to worry.
It sounds like the system is incompatible with the kernel. You didn't say which version of the OS you were running before you installed the kernel. Do you remember what it was? Which stock comes with the phone would depend on how old the phone is.
How to proceed depends on what you want to do. If you want to install custom firmware, then I would suggest that you flash one of the stock plus root packages with Odin, and then use Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin pro to install the correct custom kernel, meaning one that is compatible with the system that you chose.

It was 4.1.2. The phone was from near launch but I've upgraded the OS as Samsung has released them.
Ultimately I'd like to end up with CM10.1, but obviously that's a secondary concern at this point to a working phone
Sorry for being dense, but can you explain what you mean by "flash one of the stock plus root packages with Odin, and then use Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin pro to install the correct custom kernel?" Or point me to a thread/post that does so? Thanks again :good:

Here it is (the stock + root rom): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322046
It doesn't hurt to do some looking.
Use Odin v1.85 for the flashing (google it).
Then find a kernel for your phone (don't try Siyah again :b), like for example, Entrophy's kernel, and flash the zimage file using mobile odin.

OK. The AJK v3.0 NoSwap kernel is the only kernel compatible with stock AT&T JB 4.1.2. However, unless you can get it onto your sd card, it won't do you any good at this point.
So I would suggest you flash UCLL6 stock plus root which is 4.0.4 from here. The OP has the complete guide, and links to working custom kernels. Once you get it up and going with a custom kernel, you can then flash CM 10.1, or anything else you want.
Edit: Cooked v1.6 as suggested by azeem40 is not Odin flashable. It is a CWM flashable zip, so you would have the same issue getting it onto your sd card. The above is your quickest route.

Sprint Mega 4.4 ROM downgrade to 4.2 Issue

I have a Sprint Mega SPH-L600 that I got with a 4.4 ROM that I just cannot seem to return to stock. I have tried all of Silesh's GT9205 ROM's with no avail. I have tried everything I can think of. I've downloaded every version of the stock 4.2 I can find but it always boot loops. I have also tried all of the GSM ported ROM's but they are the only thing that will flash to my phone. I have the custom Philz recovery that's how I'm flashing the ROMs. In download mode I don't see anything about knox. I don't believe I have it. My modem is still running the NA7. Is there any way to downgrade? My main goal is to open the diagnostic ports. But the CDMA dialer codes are non-existent in this GSM ROM. I am trying to flash this phone to Page Plus. What a hassle! Is there any hope Obi Wan Kenobi?!?! Thank you.
Be forwarned by using gt9205 roms on a sprint sph-l600 will mess up the wifi and lte thats why I made the mistake on 1st day of purchased the mega luckily I was able to get mega replaced no charge roms for sprint sph-l600 are not the same as other rom!

Unlocking 4.3

Hi..
I just lost a phone and Asurian Insurance company just sent me a new Note 2 for Verizon (I605) with stock rom 4.3.
My question is is there a way to unlock this phone and load the custom rom ?
If there is could anyone send me a link and detail instructions how to do it?
I have heard if someone is on 4.3 they are stuck and there is no way out until someone comes up with a way.
Please let me know if there is a way to unlock and load custom on rom 4.3.
Thank you

Only way would be to send the phone to mobiletechvideos which cost.
There is also the option of safestrap which can be found under the development section. This doesn't unlock the bootloader, but let's you load some of the 4.3 based touchwiz roms. You have to root first before you can do that, and I have heard that saferoot works well. You also need to be on 4.3 mj9. There are 2 versions of 4.3 for this phone. If you are on the other version you can use Odin to flash the mj9 version.

I just ran saferoot and it worked really well and very easy way to root the phone. (Thx BluGuy)
Now what custome rom should I install? and I just use the Odin to load the custom rom just like before?
What about the Custom recovery?
Do I need to install safestrap as well?
I need help...
Thanks
First stay away from flashing roms in odin while on 4.3 mj9 you will brick your phone. Second you can flash any 4.3 rom over the stock rom with safestrap but!!! Make sure its a rom that can be flashed with safestrap no room for error here be sure, remember this boot loader is locked so no flashing roms in the other rom slots they still need debugging

any other options ?

I have a sprint note 3 running lollipop... my question is I rooted and tried installing a rom and I guess having lollipop hardly any of the roms will work ? Is there any reason too keep it rooted ?
Try sac23 ROMs. He has a S6 and a note 5 ROMs. I'm on the note 5 and it's running awesome.
ill try it thanks jag !
I forgot to mention that you must be on OC5 modem and bootloader to install these ROMs. There are links in the treads that will give you the files. You must connect phone to computer and run Odin 3.07 to flash modem and bootloader. The ROMs are zip files that you flash with TWRP. If you don't have TWRP, you can flash it with Odin as well. Good luck.

for touchwiz ? Have you tried CM roms or something like it? Most of the time if a rom is a little buggy the users within the thread have figured out how to get everything running smooth or the developer will shed some light.

Now I've gone and done it.

Hey guys. I just got my hands on a Verizon Note 2 this weekend and have managed to screw it up already. I am coming from the world of unlocked bootloaders with some background in Samsungs shenanigans. Anyway, I think I was on 4.4.2 which is ND7 (I honestly can't remember at this point). I I was able to root and install safestrap eventually. Then comes my stupidity, I forgot that I had to flash a touchwiz rom and flashed another rom and to add injury to insult, I flashed it in the stock slot and not the rom slot. Then I tried to restore my backup and it failed. Now what happens is I can occasionally get into the safestrap recovery and I try to flash Alliance rom and it still doesn't work. I try to boot the stock slot and it gets stuck on the verizon screen. Any help would be appreciated.
Any help? Please?
Can you bring in back to stock with Odin?
I never tried to install a new rom on any Note 2 that was over 4.1.2
