I always wonder why people go there then come here for help when their phones get messed up.
Follow this guide..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659 flash back to stock first.
Then you can follow this guide to re-root and install CWM.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081
Don't forget to hit the Thanks button on creepyncrawly's threads.
Lastly, don't ever go use gs2root and rommgr ever again.

Wipe data/factory reset is the correct next step. Select that line using the vol buttons, then press the power button. You will see text appear that confirms the wipe was completed. Then your phone should boot.
Next go to the second guide that BROKKANIC posted for you (first link in my signature) and follow the steps. Feel free to ask if there is something you don't understand.

I would personally suggest against that. Just use odin to flash a gb custom kernel. Then flash one of the better ICS firmwares we have available in the development forum.

That's your call, of course. I'd recommend against it. If you really want stock ICS I'd at least install stock plus root, and install a custom and known safe kernel. See this thread in development.
Or, install the custom firmware of your choice from the forums here. For a popular stock ICS rom, there is Semi by AJ Newkirk.

Hey guys I rooted and unlocked my Verizon Galaxy note. I installed some custom roms using the Touchwiz recovery and everything works except... I cannot make any phone calls or text. It says mobile signal or something like that. Did I do something wrong can any one assist me on this matter? I followed the steps on the form as well as several videos showing me how to do this. another question do i need to root first or unlock first? I've done this process over and over again but cannot get my cell phone to make calls or get data, There is like a hazard sign where the data shows.. please help me!

You should ask in the ROMs thread.
When you unlock, you also gain root.

So if I follow the unlock guide. via ODIN and casual I gain root? I'm a newbie to this lol former Iphone user all of this is new to me. I've tried several roms and still have the same issue. Also followed the guides as well. It's very fustrating because I get no where regarding this matter. Even watching the video's and following the steps have led me to be unsucessful..

1. Flash revision3 via odin following the guide in its thread. (This will give you root)
2.Follow the bootloader unlock process in adam's guide from its thread (this will unlock your bootloader and unless hes changed it flash twrp a custom rocovery.)
Now you need to reboot into recovery and make a back up. To do this you need to go into recovery (twrp or clockwork mod). You can get to recovery by powering off the phone and holding volume-up+home+power. Now go to backup and restore back up. If you have an external sd I would recommend selecting the option to backup to it.
After that select a rom you want. If you want stock rooted you dont have to flash anything. Look in your app drawer if you see an app called supersu or super user you're rooted. If you want another rom follow these steps to flash it.
1. Read rom thread for known bugs so you know what youre getting into.
2. Download rom. DO NOT UNZIP.
3. Check md5 sum.
4. Move to external or internal sd where you can find it.
5. Boot into recovery.
6. Select install.
7 navigate to rom file.
8. Swipe to install. If it has aroma follow instructions if not wait for it to do its thing

To do this wouldve meant you flashed a rom not meant for verizion and got another carriers radios. Also did you check in your settings to make sure you didnt switch data off airplane mode or switch off cdma/lte. Is your phone getting service now that you're back to stock?

Thank you!
I am a little confused as to what you mean when you say "flash back to factory recovery"? Can you explain a little more. Are you referring to the "Factory data reset" option? Thank you.
If you want factory fresh marshmallow just grab the stock kdz and flash it with lgup both have been shared in the forums.

I have rooted my MM6.0 (H90120e) couple of months back and just heard that we have a new version 20j with bluetooth and battery life fixes. How can I update my phone to 20j. It will be great if I can go to 20j from my current rooted 20e without losing root. But if it is not possible am OK with losing root too (in that case you need to help me with re-rooting). If OTA/dirty flash is not possible, I am OK backing it up and then updating.
Please advise. Thanks in advance.

I did this. Basically, flash "part 1", reboot recovery, flash "part 2", profit. Make SURE the part 1 you use is for 20J.
I did clean flash, as is always recommended, however OP said he did dirty with no issues, YMMV.

Thanks. Sorry, am bit confused after reading that post. Am no expert in these stuff. Could you please give me the exact steps to follow provided I am trying dirty flash.
There are detailed instructions later in that thread. I literally downloaded the 20J part 1, 20J full part 2, rebooted to recovery, flashed part 1, rebooted again to recovery, flashed part 2, reboot.
If you're rooted on 20E, your bootloader is already unlocked, so you don't need any of the other steps.

I have downloaded the Part 1 and Part 2 and copied it to the phone. Will be trying it tonight.
Just to confirm the steps:
1) Go to recovery with "adb reboot recovery" and then flash Part 1. (I tried Power and Vol down, but didn't work for me. Is there a way without using a computer)
2) Flash Part 1
3) Reboot to Recovery (Is that needed? Is there an option in TWRP to reboot to Recovery again? Sorry I forgot. If not how to reboot to recovery after the first flash)
4) Flash Part 2.
5) Reboot to full system.

Thank you guys. Dirty flashed as mentioned and everything looking good.
For others in the same situation, below are the steps I followed.
1) Downloaded and saved 20J Part 1 and and 20J Full Part 2 and copied those to phone.
2) Rebooted the phone to recovery from Quick Boot app. (Hope any option will work instead - adb, hardware keys)
3) Flashed Part 1
4) Rebooted to recovery again
5) Flashed Part 2
6) Reboot
I didn't do any cleanup/wipe. But everything looks to be good. Didn't have to re-root or anything. To be on the safe side, I backed up some important data and apps using Titanium before the upgrade. But no issues happened during the procedure.
Thanks again.
I'm new to this device in general. I'm on stock unrooted 20e. So 20j will help battery?

Yes it is slightly improved and there is no drawback to update to v20j. Only thing is you cannot downgrade it afterwards (it will brick your device) but I don't see any reason to downgrade, 20J is better than earlier versions.

To get root and TWRP.

2. Fastboot boot TWRP-L.img
3. Install supersu-2.49.zip (even though I didn't lose root)

I'm pretty sure that video only applies to the Jellybean stock from for the HAM2. Am I wrong? I'm on the Lollipop rom.

So just to clarify, all I have to do is fastboot to twrp? I don't need to install it? It's confusing. "Boot to recovery and had TWRP"?? Never rooted a phone before. If somebody could go into greater detail, that would be great.

I tried to CyanogenMod my phone. I could not even install twrp. I found those instructions from a link here (supposedly everything one may need to know about the Mate 2):

I tried the link on my phone and it goes to the last post. Please start with the first post....

You were eventually able to install twrp though right? Seems pretty straight forward and easy. Unlock bootloader, setup adb on comp, enable adb on phone, boot into twrp, flash custom recovery.

Nope. I missed that the unlock part was necessary! Thank you for giving the details though!!!!
When I figured that Device Only mode gives decent GPS use for maps, directions, and Pokémon Go I just decided to leave it be. Plus all this concern with root and Pokémon Go not working. I don't play much but I keep my phone as backup when my son's battery dies.
Thanks again!

I did some searches and came up short. I have my bootloader unlock code. Can somebody link me to a root guide for the latest stock rom please? I don't want to install a custom rom. Just install root.
