I rooted my wife's phone last week using KingRoot and the Super-sume. Installed Titanium Backup and everything was working fine. She was given a notice to take an OTA update today which she did. Now the phone is stuck on the Samsung screen with the unlocked padlock. When I boot into recovery, it automatically tries to install the update, but gets an error. It then reboots and just hangs up on the Samsung Custom screen again.
How can I get this back to stock?
I can get into ODIN mode if that helps.
I found this thread and downloaded the pit file at the bottom for the Verizon version. Is this what I want to flash with ODIN? Will this fix the issue?

So after more reading I don't think that will work as the phone was on OCT I think. It was on 5.0.1. I can't get it past the Samsung screen so I can't check.
Can someone please help....my wife is ready to kill me!!!!!!!
Nevermind. I figured it out. I found stock 5.0.1 firmware and was able to install it using ODIN. Working perfectly now.

Alright so first off don't know if I should be posting this here. Anyway. I tried to Change my recovery messed up and my phone got bricked. So I went back to stock 4.1.1 and worked fine. Did the updates but when it got to 4.1.2 it dowloaded it and installed it but when it went to boot up it keep on flashing samsung galaxy note 2 boot logo. So I try to flash it again but this time it gets to the nand write start on odin and keeps on failing. Someone please help me I'm stumped on this one
Are you having a problem with not getting a no you Verizon update if not try doing that download with Odin and it may fix it but if you can do a factory reset do that before installing an update or anything
A couple of weeks ago I bought a Galaxy Note 2 from Simple Mobile began to experiment with it. Later on I managed to root it, but I accidentally flashed a recovery via Rom Manager which after a restart broke my phone.
After that I flashed a OTA through Odin of Verizon 4.1.2. The system booted and everything but the radio was missing meaning that I could not text or use 3G. I looked for many ways to restore it but none worked.
I later on flashed a T-Mobile ROM thinking it will help restore the radio and it did successfully flash the ROM through the recovery. But the ROM turned out to be 4.3 and the radio still didn't work. Later on in the same day I flashed an OTA of T-Mobile through Odin and that's when this happened. My phone bootloops really fast when I turn it on. The recovery doesn't show up at all. And every time I flash anything through Odin it fails. I've felt ashamed all this time and it took me a while to reflect and face what I've done and decided to post on here to get help.
Thanks for reading! Any help is appreciated. I will try every method that gets posted and will post back results.

I have a very similar problem. hope you get help on this, I have been trying to fix this problem for a month.
The 4.3 update is where the issue came from if it will allow you to flash try using a custom rom to get you out the boot loop but because the 4.3 bootloader is locked you now have another issue you will now have to run a virtual rom and there is a certain way you have to do it or you will completely brick your phone try researching first Google your phone model with the rom build 4.3 root you have to root it now before you can do any modifications at this point
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Free mobile app
I have a Verizon SCH-I605 Note 2. I rooted and unlocked the boot loader when it was on 4.1.2. I have since then flashed 4.3 Roms through TWRP and because of that, it didn't install KNOX at all.
I was having issues with the Bluetooth and WiFi radios recently. Randomly they would stop working and not turn on at all. The toggles would turn light green and act like they were gong to turn on but didnt. They just turned grey again. Then a few hours to a day later they would randomly work and turn on and work. Then randomly they wouldn't work again. I tried to see if there was a pattern to when they would stop working but there wasn't.
At first I thought it was an app that I had installed that was causing it. So I flashed the same and other roms after wiping "everything". That would seem to work for a while but soon it happened again. It even did it without installing any additional apps after flashing. I decided to flash the stock rooted 4.3 OTA. That didn't work either. I then decided to flash stock and unrooted 4.3 using mobile Odin and inject superuser and mobile Odin. Right of the bat WiFi and Bluetooth didn't work. I am ALMOST convinced that it is hardware related now. Any thoughts on what would be causing it?
Also when I flashed it stock and unrooted with mobile odin, It kept root but I lost TWRP. And when I boot into download mode, it doesn't show the KNOX counter line at all so i am assuming that it didnt install it. Is it possible to flash back stock to 4.1.2 with odin and then re root and unlock the boot loader? Or is there another way to get TWRP back?
Any help or feedback is greatly appreciated
hey all so I got a phone from a friend and it came with 4.4.2 NK4 I downgraded rooted and upgraded to Super6 all was good till I poped my sim card in. I got no 4G.
So I mistakenly tried to flash the JFLTE-GPE Google play Rom and well now I cant get past the boot screen where it says Samsung and custom. it sits then reboots into recovery I think I installed the wrong kernel and I don't know what to really do any advice???
thank you for any help!!
EDIT: also I can still odin NC5 it doesn't fail but it will just go into stock recovery
So the first thing was I rooted a Samsung S4 SGH-M919.
I used Chainfire's files and Odin. it worked just fine.
Gave the phone to my wife but the firmware 4.4.2 was clearly outdated that none of the apps she played worked, everything just froze on her or crashed.
So I decided to install a custom rom, this led me to Imperium Lollipop 5.0.1
Well that in turn made the phone unbootable. It would continuously go into these 4 circular swirling balls and get stuck there. I cant even get into Recovery Mode. Only Download Mode.
So this made me do some searching and I dl'ed SGH-M919 stock firmware 4.2.2
I used Odin to flash that and it failed.
So now the phone boots into a screen that telling me to uses Kies to fix the issue.
I'm at a loss what to do next.
Can someone give me the necessary steps to fix the phone and where I intended to go with this?
Much appreciated. thanks.

Are you sure that you have the right bootloader installed for the lollipop rom? Did you factory reset before installing custom rom? Try to wipe davlik after installation completes before restarting device. Also follow the instructions given by the rom thread op.
