[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Whiplord:
Alright, so my phone experienced some water damage in the rain yesterday, and I'm looking to take advantage of my extended protection plan to take care of it.

However, I figured it would be best to return it to stock first. I'm running into the issue of Odin not detecting my device when I open it up. My computer makes the usb device plug/unplug noise when I plug the phone in, so I'm pretty confident it has a connection to the PC. However Odin never seems to see it. I've restarted Odin/replugged the phone several times now.

I did see a "Device driver failed to install" notice briefly on one of those occassions, but I haven't seen it again. I'm on Windows 7 64bit.

EDIT: Okay, so now i can get Odin to detect it, but it won't flash. I just get "failed'. Tried both the primary and the alternate VRALJB files, since I couldn't remember if I had accepted the OTA. The primary one never seems to make it past SetupConnection, and the second one doesn't seem to make it past getting the mapping from the PIT.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jack.Rounsborg:
Okay so I was coming off PA 3.92 to go back to stock just because..so i flashed the Alternate VRALB file and pit, worked fine, took the first OTA, worked fine, went to take the second ota, and now i'm stuck in a bootloop!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rudeguy:
did you wipe data in recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
Why didnt you simply flash root66 which keeps root and recovery? Then flash the latest vramc3 ota that beanstown provided in a .zip format through recovery? Thats the whole reason why I keep root66 up so folks have a easy path to take when switching roms and want to start fresh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jheide44:
+1 to droidstyle, and MrRobinson, for Root66

just an fyi for people trying to restore stock there is a mc3 tar ;) http://www.hotfile.com/dl/224874128/0c97362/I605VRAMC3_I605VZWAMC3_VZW.zip.html

Is this rooted stock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
No I believe it says official factory stock firmware if you look at section 1b. :)

I can get root on to the phone. But i am having issues with clockwork mod. Everytime i flash it on and then restart i get the not authorized verizon software error., and have to start over any ideas?

hi, Zuko here. quick question: I flashed a rooted rom a few days after the vzn note 2 came out and now I want to go back but would like to have all the updates already installed. I should dl "Official VRAMC3 4.1.2 5/5/13" from 1b right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
Yes, that is correct. That file and the pit file. There is really no need to restore to stock just to be on the VZW ota. Using that file will update your phone but lock it also. Or you can just flash beans stock rooted vramc3 4.1.2 rom and you will be updated, still unlocked, and rooted.

Thanks for the quick reply! I don't really want or need root or custom roms. I just want stock with otas and then I want to wipe my data and start fresh. I have been having battery life problems and have been planning on a wipe and thought I would get caught up on otas at the same time. Thank you very much for the help!

Hey i gota Verizon note 2 on 4.1.2 amc3. the phone is stock and its acting a little wacky and i want to do a clean flash of 4.1.2 amc3. Should i have any problems doing this? I read in the O.P not to flash 4.1.1 over 4.1.2 but i want to flash 4.1.2 over 4.1.2 to see if it fixes my issues. Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
yes that will work fine :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] biyobe:
wondering if anybody can help me... i just unrooted and returned to stock and now when I install the ISIS Wallet it tells me "The Isis Wallet cannot read your Secure Element ID. Please contact your wireless provider customer care" any guess how to fix that?I reinstalled to the VRAMC3 via Odin.

Sweet now it says four hours... this is not fun and my phone is stuck in roaming from flashing carbon :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
The file is for odin which you need to run from your PC. You don't need to download from your phone.

I am on my PC and it is not my connection. I downloaded the stock odex rom in 6 minutes

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

It's downloading at 50-100kb/s this is killing me. Looks like only a couple hours of sleep tonight so I can have my phone working by morning
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
Pro tip: Have the Odin file downloaded and ready before you attempt to flash anything. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
Hall of Fame tip: Whenever a new odin, modem, recovery, etc file is made available, download to pc so you have it well before you need it. Trust me, at some point, you will need it.

Brought to you by your friends that have f'ed something up and were pissed searching then waiting for download :D

Phone will Note boot

Hello,

I was trying to flash my Note 2 back to stock because I just sold it and the buyer wants a stock phone. I used the file for 4.1.2 and flashed it through Odin. It flashed successfully but the reboot goes to the Samsung Note 2 screen and just keeps flashing that screen very fast. It looks like it is not booting. It just keeps flashing. Does anyone have any idea how to get this fixed. I tried reflashing file and it just fails.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
can you boot into android stock recovery? If so try a factory reset.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bxrider117:
When I try to go to stock recovery the phone does the same thing. I just flashes the samsung logo
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bxrider117:
I figured it out. I forgot to load it with the pit file.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GreenSnow7:
Hi. I just got the note2 a few months ago and I recently tried to root/unlock using "no you" and it took me a while to find a version that would recognize that the phone is connected, using win7 32bit, finally found one and it went through the process and completely bricked my phone, I was able to return and get a new phone but am now hesitant on trying again, any tips?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
Casual will not brick the phone. You bricked the phone. Also it probably wasn't bricked and could have been easily fixed. I suggest that you stay stock until you know what you are doing.

Sent From My Sticky Note, Too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GreenSnow7:
Clearly something went wrong. I have plenty of experience rooting, Droid 3, galaxy nexus, and 10.1 tab. I know about rooting and how to do it. The first time I got casual to actually say the phone was connected it did some of the process and bricked, and yea it was bricked. It said error this os is not valid please contact your provider. Then I used Odin to atleast boot to recovery, but it wouldn't perform a restore.

What my question was, is there any tips that I should do second time around, remove drivers? Turn phone off then start casual? Etc? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
So we don't clutter this thread, I sent you a PM.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KgTheraad1:
anybody has a faster link to vramc3 rom. my download has failed twice and I have to start again and its downloading at 22kb/s
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
There is definitely some weird **** going on with it. My buddy and I have both been rooting since the G1 days, we're also both tech people. It took us two hours to get my Note 2 rooted last night with casual. We had to keep reinstalling the drivers after it would reboot out of download mode until the computer saw it as an android adb interface. Again, it was a royal pain in the ass. But at least I can get rid of this GS4 now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
I unlocked my device many moons ago with the very first version of casual released last december and it worked flawless. However the latest seems to be troublesome for many folks. Unfortunately I will never relock my device and try to troubleshoot the new unlock version, so I offer no support for casual. Best bet is to post in the unlock threads.

That being said the Only thing I can offer is to make sure all antivirus/security is disabled and make sure you have the latest Java update. Microsoft security has been known to quarintine some of the casual files causing it to not work properly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnwaynegacy:
Yeah another mirror would be nice, or a torrent.

After this painfully slow download finishes. I will upload a torrent for this. My usual tracker is no good for this, can someone suggest a good tracker for an android torrent?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnwaynegacy:
Torrent

This the torrent I promised. I used the default trackers in utorrent. I hope it works. Enjoy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdpeck:
Last night switched from twrp to cwm to try out the 4.4 PA rom. After switching I could not get past splash screen or it would bootloop. Went back to twrp and it kept failing when trying to restore backups and if I tried to flash my prior rom I would get bootloops. I even eventually formatted internal memory then tried to flash the rom again and still bootloops. Figured I would use odin to go back to root66 and start all over. Odin has been running well past 8 minutes. First bloxk at the top is set partition and then in the message box at the bottom right it is at NAND write start.

Any ideas on what steps to take next?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
Yes you need to use the pit file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdpeck:
I was using the pit file. I switched USB ports and it flashed correctly the second time. Still couldn't get the phone to boot so finally reverted to an older version of twrp and it finally restored a backup that I had.

Apparently the new version won't restore backups made with a prior version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
Yea I missed the last part of your post. Anytime Odin is stuck on Nandwrite Start, that is usually a connection issue. Since Root66 does not wipe data, you needed to boot into recovery and do a factory reset.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Speedy Gonzalez:
yes me it bootloops
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BeansTown106:
seriously lol im flashing now from stock..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] biggboii:
Is this the Tar with or without the mic issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
no way to extract your system dump as a tar so perms are retained?

if not let me go over this... def could have missed some needed perms.

Good we can logcat and find where the error is :D

error is with bluetooth and dbus and were missing some bluetooth files in system/etc and dbus.conf in /etc would be alot easier if mrrobinson would gtalk me lol..

Ok. If anyone flashed the original root package that Mr. Robinson posted. I have a fix for the broken mic.

1. Download this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13578268/tinyucm.conf

2. Push that file to your /system/etc

3. Reboot

4. Make a call using your mic.

:D

Remember this is only if you flashed the root package that broke mic, or if you want to flash the root package this will fix mic. Your choice. Have fun.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Marine6680:
Someone mentioned running PC Kies after flashing the downgrade, and that it may detect the old software and download the new image.

Been tried yet?

Dont think it will work, but let us know if it does.

Haven't flashed anything yet, so I can't.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jellydroid13:
wont connect to the device
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
yea would be cool if someone could grab off kies. you'd think that should be possible. maybe someone just needs to flash that full stock old leak. then connect to kies and see if it will upgrade to latest then grab the files. problem is if that doesn't work they are stuck on old crap. at least for a bit.

anyway uploading new stock tar now. hopefully fixes the bootlooping and all works.

[MENTION=4065904]droidstyle[/MENTION] maybe you can help me out.. I am stuck and going to shi my device to get JTAG if I can't figure this out.. Hear me out.. I am not a Noob or begginer..

I was running my port from ATT 4.3 leak Skynote by seanzscreams. In an attempt to get wifi working I Odin flashed his param.bin and tz.img that he provided. It didn't work..But my phone was still fully functional. I then proceeded to see if it was bc I didn't have a 4.3 bootloader. So then I odin flashed sboot.bin, param.bin and tz.img, the only difference being the sboot.bin added. When it rebooted my phone was flashing the Galaxy Note II symbol, NOT stuck, flashing which has never happened before. I tried to boot into recovery, samething. I am able to get into download mode but EVERYTHING I have tried fails in Odin. Different verisions of Odin, different stock tar's..etc SO far I have done all this..

Flashed Stock RAMC3 with and without PIT file. I get stuck on SetUpConnection and then FAIL

Flashed RAMC3 alone, NO PIT, FAILS at boot.img

Flashed root66 alone, Starts to write System.img then FAILS

Flashed root66 with PIT just hangs on Get PIT for mapping...

Used Casual to see if that worked...Fails at flashing PIT file

Made my own .tar with just a sboot.bin FAIL

Flashed recovery.tar.. SUCCESS but phone reboots with same problem as above (weird bootloop)

Heimdall.. Everything says flashed but NO progress bar initiation

I have even thought well maybe Odin has a secruity check where it won't allow me to flash a Verizon Stock img on an ATT phone bc in DL mode I have under ODIN MODE is:

Product Name: SGH-1317

Custom Binary Download: Yes (1 counts)

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Custom

Warranty Bit: 0

And a NO GO.. FAIL

Any info you can provide to help would be GREATLY appreciated.. if you have no clue or too busy.. Totally understand!

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
It sounds like the 4.3 bootloader black listed the previous versions. You might try taking the full 4.3 .tar(if available), pull the modem out, and flash in odin. If not you are probably hosed until the 4.3 update drops or Jtag time.

Got a new i605 [loaner] in hand. Its came with JZO54K.I605VRAMA4 (4.12) the official firmware just before JZO54K.I605VRAMC3 (4.12)

Checking for VZ oa updates it showed NONE.

I could not root it so I Odin the MC3 from SamiMobile. Hence 4.12 >> 4.12.. Still resisted Casual, or a root Odin attempt, but..

Checking for VZ oa updates it showed an update.. Now its running i605VRUEMJ9 (4.3) with a kernel dated Nov 19th!

Still resisting rooting however.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joecool73:
Anyone know if root66 will work on VRAMC3? Ive rooted my old one with root66 on VRALL4 without a problem but not sure if the VRAMC3 will also root with root66. Don't want to use casual as I just want to root on my phone, don't want to unlock the boot loader. Thanks for any info.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
I would of waited for a dev to make a recovery flashable update. Taking the OTA could of very well put you in permanently stock unrooted conditions. That is unless Adam Outler updates Casual. That being said Kingo root may work. Thanks for letting us know the 4.3 update is rolling out.

Odin only works with Windows.

Root66 will take you back to 4.1.2 VRALJB. You might try Kingo Root App.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PilotML:
n/m
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joecool73:
droidstyle, Not sure I get what you mean. When I rooted on VRALL4 with root66, after I rooted I was still on VRALL4 with root. Id like to stay on VRAMC3. Are you saying root cant be obtained on build Vramc3? Kingo does not support the Verizon model.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
Your baseband stayed VRALL4 however the rom version went back to VRALJB. root can be obtained by using Casual.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joecool73:
oh I see what you're saying. where exactly is the ROM version located at? yeah I really don't want to use casual, no flashing ROMs for me just need root. I will use my root 66 md5.tar file then. Here is a screen shot off my device. thanks again for the fast reply. this is a new phone and is completely stock, never been rooted totally OEM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
build number is the Rom baseband is the modem. when you use root66 the baseband remains whatever you were on before but the build number will revert to root66_VRALJB_4.1

Causual does not mean you have to flash roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joecool73:
Awesome. I did not know that. Learn something new everyday. Ive rooted 8 phones and 5 tablets to this point and was not aware that the base band would remain with whatever you were currently on. I thought the root knocked those out to whatever was on the rooted ROM that was flashed. Your right droidstyle, but Casual will unlock my boot loader and that I don't want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PilotML:
nm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
The baseband version should not be the issue. You can still be on the VRALJB bootloader, I am. You probably need to re-flash cm10.3 in the latest cwm recovery 6.0.4.3, at least you do with CM11 to get service.
