Good Day,
I'm very sorry to bother you, but I have read your post and easy 50 times and still am having trouble. I have a Verizon Note 2 and tried to flash a new rom, "root66". After 2 days of trial and error ( most error ) it worked. I then wanted to load a bootloader so that I could try some new roms. Without reading much about it and the locked verizon bootloader, I install GooManager and attempted to install TeamWin Bootloader.... big mistake I know now. I have pull my hair out for the past 3 days straight trying ANYTHING to get back to some working condition with no avail. No I can install root66 with Odin and finishes, tries to reboo,t and locks up at the Samsung logo screen. Also, I have also tried vramc3 and pit file I cant factory reset or anything. I'm not sure if solicitation is permitted or not on this website, but I just wanted to see if you could help.
I'm at the point I'll try anything. I looked over the Forum rule and I'm not sure if this is a no-no or not, but I'll will to mail my phone to someone to fix it, if I cant fix it myself. I have looked all over and cant find anyone to send it to.
ANY HELP? I will donate to someone that help me out. Thanks again..

im sorry but the explanation its quite.. confusing..
so basicly you flash new rom and then you flash (locked) bootloader (??)(4.3 MJ9 ???)
and you flash TWRP bootloader ??(maybe what you mean is recovery) and lock at the Samsung logo screen. after that you odin back to MC3 so your note 2 condition right now bootloop and cant access recovery ?? CMIIW

NOTE: I'M NOT REALLY GOOD AT THIS. I'M A REALLY GOOD STEP BY STEP-FOLLOW INSTRUCTION-GUY.
I'm a moderate phone user. One day I was trying to get rid of the carrier IQ, I rooted and unlocked my phone and successfully get rid of them.
Then somehow, I realized there was a software update which would update me from 1.27.531.8 to 1.27.531.11.
So I did an OTA and found out that I need a stock recovery to be able to get that OTA.
Before I found mugetsu666's post that includes the stock ROM, recovery, and kernel, I found Behold_this's post firmware packages.
So I flashed it with the newest OFFICIAL FIRMWARE PACKAGE by using "fastboot oem rebootRUU, fastboot flash zip firmware.zip"
After that, I noticed my wireless is gone/broken. And the software number remains the same which it didn't really update.
So I tried his(Behold_this) other stock custom firmware package by doing the same command but the other file trying to go back to the way it should.
Wireless is back this time, so I did an OTA. OTA stuck at the recovery screen and I press Power+Volume UP and get his message that it is doing Bug Fix. My phone just hang there for a good 30 mins and realizing it doesn't really bug fix anything.
So I found the other guy asking the same question on Behold_this's post, Behond_this stated that if the phones was rooted or unlocked, the OTA would not work.
So I relocked it, unrooted it, tried it again. The problem remains. Then I thought I have to "Lock it" instead of "relock" So I S-OFF by using revone and get that tampered down and also locked it.
Again, I unrooted it, locked it, the problem remains the same.
After that, I decided to give the mugetsu666's pure stock rom a try. I did a factory reset in TWRP (I already unlocked it again and flash a recovery), and flash mugetsu666's stock ROM and locked it and unrooted it again. OTA would not work still.
SO....... I decided to give a combination of both a try! I flash the stock rom, kernel, and stock recovery from mugetsu666's post and install the official1.27.531.11 firmware package from Behold_this. The problem remains....
Okay.. So What I was trying to do originally was to go back to an average user and use the convenient OTA when it's available. NOW!!! It's like a thing in my head that I must solve!!! It is driving me crazy now............ I spent more then 10 hours non-stop to just try to fix this thing...
I could probably return it to the carrier and get a new one since I just bought this about 3 days ago. But I already have the full body tech skin on the phone already. It took really long and some money to do it... Didn't want to just return the phone and get a new one.
If any of you can help me with this problem, I sincerely appreciate it!!!
Please help me!
Thanks everyone for the help in advance!
I'm having the exact same issue. Keep me posted on if you fix it.

Just about 10 mins ago. I tried it. The RUU file is somehow corrupt. I downloaded it several times and it didn't work.. People are having the same issue as well. Thanks though!
I recently installed the update 4.3 for my phone, which blocked the only thing I use the phone for free HOTSPOT. I tried to go back to 4.1.2 and obviously messed up somewhere along the way. Presently I can boot to download screen and recovery, but NOTHING works. Anything I try to install I get an error message. Currently, when I try to boot I get "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help." Don't want to do that, since they already told me they will not revert back to previous software version.
I have Odin 3.09 installed, USB driver for my phone installed and downloaded multiple tar and md5 files that are the correct ones for my phone. When I try to install I get FAILED! every time. I am putting it in the PDA slot, with proper check marks.
Please help me, I will give additional details as you see fit, don't want to clog up the thread with everything I tried, like unlocking bootloader, installing custom recovery, etc.
I'll be here all day, hopefully I can get some quick responses.

This is a GS3 correct? Did you unlock the bootloader? if you didn't unlock the bootloader then you will get this message. I had the same issue with my girlfriends SGS3 on verizon.
I followed the EXACT directions that were posted...if flashing VRALEC bootchain unlocks the bootloader than yes. I followed them step by step.
The good news is though, I finally gave up and hit accept on the software update and figured I'd just pay the extra $20 for the hotspot that was free on 4.1.2, but to my surprise the update failed. I still have my 4.1.2, my free hotspot and everything functions. Whatever I did messed up my phone enough to block the update, so I'm happy. Pretty crazy though that the methods followed to the T didn't work over and over again. I simply cannot root my phone no matter what I try. I'd love for someone to physically have my phone and try it with me present.

give this a shot for verizon s3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166. It will provide you with directions on how to flash the stock recovery and bootloader. My S3 would not turn on at all until I tried this method.
Ok guys, been using these forums to root phones for a while now. First phone i did was my att s3. hit a few bumps but overall it was a piece of cake. have done several different s3s and a tmobile note 3 with ease. Tried to root my sisters note 3 sprint (SM-N900P) today, and of course, i am having some issues.
I started out by trying to use the cf auto root for the phone in question, and then i get could not do normal boot. so i restart and it just boots into the same screen. I have tried reflashing stock firmware, but it fails everytime fused 2 binary 1. So then i flashed the pit file, which succeeded in letting me turn the phone back on lol, but i still cant use stock recovery anymore. also, if i try to reflash custom firmware now, i get firmware update encountered an issues screen, so i have to take the battery out for a few seconds and put it back in to get the phone to be able to restart.
SO.... I guess my questions are, what exactly went wrong? how do i fix stock recovery if nothing else? and is there a way to unlock this phone without rooting if i cant root after all? because my sister doesnt really care about custom roms, she just needs to be able to use a different carrier.
COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS BELOW PLEASE
any help is greatly appreciated.

And you haven't said anything to us but you don't know how to read .... You haven't said what you flashed and with what Odin etc ... you have given nothing to help fix your problem and there is no unlock besides sprint doing it or you would have READ that too

Well, I fixed it anyway so it doesn't matter. Now trying to install custom recovery, but had issues with that. Guess cwm is not working for this phone correctly. So only way to unlock is pay sprint? And thanks soooo much for your helpful attitude

It amazes me that some people cannot just read a post and move on if they have nothing helpful to say but instead take the time out of their busy lives to slam someone.
You should feel honored.
Long story short, bootloader is stuck. -- Phone is stuck in a boot-loop of sorts ... it keeps showing the very first screen that shows the Galaxy name and some other info and then flashes that screen over and over again. It is not a boot-loop that loads the OS and keeps loading that continuously. From what I know about phones/programming, which is limited, the bootloader either doesn't exist anymore or the code is not executing properly.
I know there are guides that are similar to my issue, but none of them seem to answer my questions specifically. And when I have attempted some other fixes, nothing happens. I am hoping for a direct answer if anyone has one.
Here's what led to this:
1. I wanted to install the new Android Revolution rom which suggested I have the MJ5 bootloader. I have not attempted to install this rom yet, my issue occurred when I tried to flash the new bootloader.
2. Followed a thread that explained bootloaders and how to install mj5 on note 2 via Odin. --> then got this boot-loop. MD5 and all that jazz was fine. Downloaded from reputable source too.
3. I was/am running a custom rom (JellyBeans build 26 I think) with TWRP recovery. I was previously running CWM recovery, but switched to TWRP because the guide suggested TWRP or Philz recovery for MJ5. Switch between recoveries went just fine. Also, I don't remember what bootloader was installed before I broke it.
I am not a developer (obviously), but I am fairly computer savvy. I can do most things if explained properly. Although I am prone to being an idiot so if someone is feeling a little helpful a step-by-step guide may be best.
I am hoping that someone could (1) provide me with a how-to fix this issue, (2) provide me with a link to the right bootloader that I need to flash in ODIN in order to fix this issue.
PLEASE HELP! I am waiting for some job interview calls this upcoming week and I will be F***ed without my phone. I know it's my fault that the phone is stuck, but I know one of you geniuses here will be able to provide me with some information.
In Summary:
Bootloader is stuck
Phone can get into Download mode, but that's it.
Odin will connect and phone shows up on COM port.
I am an idiot.
I am fine going back to stock recovery/build if necessary to fix this issue.
Thank you all in advance.
P.S. Soul is available upon resolution of the issue; shipping and handling extra ; ) If you don't want my soul I will send you a holiday card with my dogs on it.
You flashed a bootloader for a different phone. Mj5 is for the n7100. The Verizon Note 2 is i605. You have 2 options to get your phone back to 100%. Either use kobols unbrick method found in the general section or send it off to mobiletechvideos and pay them to get it working.
Here is a link to kobol's method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2615587

Thank you for the reply, I will try this now. I saw this thread but was hoping I wouldn't have to do this because of its requirements (screwing with the hardware and such).
Like I said, I'm an idiot.
Thank you for the tip though, it is much appreciated.

axpaxp,
You may try the method in this thread: How To: Unbrick A Hard Bricked i605 [n7100 Bootloader Flash] NO Resistor , as an alternative to Kobol's method.

Theoretically you should be-able to use motochopper and install a custom recovery without any drama .... just don't quote me on that as I am not sure ...
Sorry couldnt get anything from motochopper.
WAS RESEARCHING MY PROBLEM AND FOUND THE FOLLOWING LINK :
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SCH-I545
Is anyone familiar with this site ? Should I try one one of these archive firmware downloads to flash and hope it gets my phone going again ? Is my thinking that starting with MK2 is right? And what is the unlock link for? I guess I can try it and see make sure they arent dead links. Heres to hoping someone can answer some of my ? and to something working from this samsung update site. Thanks for any and all help.
So those links were also dead. Ended up flashing OC1. I know it's not the best since it's not easy to work with. But kingroot actually worked and so I may not have a custom rom but at least it's rooted. Now I am trying to figure out how to use it without becoming a Verizon customer beyond WiFi.
