No you cannot. Flashing any recovery requires fast boot. Which requires unlocking theboot loader
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamjunk:
I am able to select USB at the bootloader and use fastboot I think? I typed the fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob command and it does show the blue bar with it transferring the file, is there more that isn't happening?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elesbb:
Then you are unlocked.. I dont even think the USB is an option on locked bootloaders. I may be wrong as i havent really used my device before unlocking :P
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
If I may, even while locked you can select the USB icon and use fastboot. Type fastboot devices on your PC to confirm it works, but if you try to flash anything like recovery, and you are still locked, you will get a status 7 error. It will not flash. You must unlock for that.

so i just flash a note 2 to verizon prepaid its amazing for 50 dollars UNLIMITED you cant get a better deal than that..

amazing speed i was shock that hd youtube videos dont buffer when playing

i did speed test 1,9 to 2.5 mbs enough for fast loading webpages and watching video i also was able to do skype and ovoo
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
There shouldn't be much needed in the way of flashing. Root the phone, add in APN data for the prepaid carrier you're using, put in your SIM, and then profit. The phone already works on AT&T and T-Mobile in the US if you have a SIM, you just need to be able to add APN info, which you can't by default.

Bigger question, where is this Verizon 50 unlimited plan

Sent from the dark on a Note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnfranckiv:
$50 unlimited is for basic phones only... And their new plans.. And all prepaid plans.. Are 3g only...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
There are 60 and 70 dollar prepaid plans for smartphones though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] prerav31:
The $60 prepaid plan is unlimited talk & text and 1GB of data and the $70 plan is the same thing but you get 2GB instead
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
60 plan is only 500MB of data.

Interesting, considering you can't make phone calls without the sim either.

If you weren't being a jerk and talking down to people I might not have reported it. At any rate, this isn't an advertisement forum for your job especially now that it is deemed illegal.

I was playing with Rom Toolbox Pro and was changing the status bar icons. I did agree to the backup requests. In the middle of one of the icon changes, the program glitched. I tried to give it time, but it would glitch again. I finally removed the battery and now it won't go past "Samsung". Since I am on Ting an MVNO of Sprint, I don't have Sprint's boot animation, pure Samsung.

I did hold the volume / power / home buttons and tried every choice but factory reset. Though there is a high probability being new and stupid, that I di them wrong.

So . . . HELP!!!

Re: [Q] HELP!!! Bricked My Baby!

When you get to to recovery restore a backup if you made one. Which you should always make a backup before making changes on ur rom. Or you may have to reflash the rom. If you can get into recovery your phone is not bricked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:
I can get into recovery, so the term is soft-bricked I believe. I didn't think I was doing a ROM change, but again I am new and stupid.

I did not do a backup, but Rom Toolbox Pro did for the files that changed. I cannot find those backup files in the in recovery. I went through every folder in "Apply Update From External Storage"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scottypeterson:
Re: [Q] HELP!!! Bricked My Baby!

If you can find it i guess your only option left is to wipe everything and flash the rom again so you can get your phone to boot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:
The only reason I haven't done that yet is because I don't want to lose all my contacts AGAIN. Though, it might teach me a well deserved lesson.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEYofR:
Re: [Q] HELP!!! Bricked My Baby!

Contacts should be all synced to gmail. Just reflash and wait a minute for them to come back all by themselves after you log in.

I don't remember if the latest twrp has a file manager function (can't check while using the same phone to write thisn post) but if it does you might be able to replace the files that way. Otherwise, one theoretical option is you could extract the files from a stock rom and make a flashable zip that just puts those exact files back, copy the zip to a microsd card using a card reader & a pc (i don't think you can do much via usb while in recovery). Pop sd card back in phone and flash with twrp.

Possibly less work to restore contacts by hand again. This time let it sync to gmail so you won't be so screwed again. Better yet use titanium backup or rerware mybackup so you get txts, call logs, bookmarks, wifi keys, bluetooth pairings, contacts and apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pongoface:
Re: [Q] HELP!!! Bricked My Baby!

You won't lose your contacts if you synced them with Google
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Re: [Q] HELP!!! Bricked My Baby!

You don't have your contacts saved to your Google? If not you should've.. They come back on their own once you set up your Gmail.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:
I try to avoid google spyware as much as possible. (I know, I know, I chose Android)

I did install Titanium Backup Pro, but never did a backup. :crying:

I was already and waiting for the download to finish of the Sprint ROM to put it on my MicroSD. Didn't think about just replacing the bad files and was just going to flash it again. I don't know if I am knowledgeable enough to pull off just replacing a few files. I may end up learning the hard way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:
NOOO!!!! I did the factory reset and lost all my data (I assume) but it still won't boot. No change in symptoms.

I really need help. The one thing I didn't want to do, that I thought would work, didn't work.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
Re: [Q] HELP!!! Bricked My Baby!

Nothing left to do but reflash your rom. Sorry about your data. Next time back up everything with a nandroid backup or titanium backup.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEYofR:
Re: [Q] HELP!!! Bricked My Baby!

Unfortunatetly the "factory reset" option in TWRP is not the most descriptive wording.

All factory reset does is delete the data partition. It doesn't restore the OS userspace programs or the kernel or the modem/firmware or the bootloader.

Now that you've done that, there is no more chance to recover anything, which means there is no more reason to agonize over reflashing a new rom. Go ahead and flash away.

Simplest way, since you have a working custom recovery, is use a pc to download one of the recovery-flashable rom zips and put it on a microsd card. Put the sdcard back in the phone, boot into recovery and flash that zip.

It's simpler and safer than trying to use odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:
Thanks, I wish I knew this before though. Hard lesson #1.

I've done a search and can't find any unmodified "recovery-flashable rom zip" Then I wouldn't know what to do with it. Desperate - how much to fix this? I am in Westchester NY.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wolfbeef123:
Did you only factory reset and reboot?

You should just factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and reflash your old rom, then reboot.

I hope the experience doesn't scare you off flashing forever. :) You're actually not in bad shape right now. Your recovery is doing it's exact job it's named for. Your phone is booting into recovery, and twrp in particular is a powerful flexible one. It's a whole mini OS really.

And even if your recovery was screwed too, you could still use " download mode" and odin to flash everything back, it's just les convenient and less well documented but the standard recipe of steps is up there on galaxynote2root.com and elsewhere.

There's also a one click back to stock here on xda too. That runs from a pc and attempts to do everything to go all the way back to factory, including firmwares, bootloader, even resetting the flash counter back to 0.

Really your problem is that there are so many options it's confusing to figure out how to choose which one!

Hang in there. Try flahing the zips I pointed too and if there's a problem don't worry just post back here what happened.

For intance, when I flashed those, I had to an extra reboot that the instructions didn't say. After I flashed the firmware zip, the rom zip wouldn't flash. It just said failed in red letters. Scary. But I rbooted back into twrp and it flashed fine then. That happened a few different times on different roms after doing manual wipes in twrp also not just after flashing firmwares.

So don't worry.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:
I followed to the letter the MA5 installation from Stock_Rooted_Deodexed _Ma5_Rom and LJC-MA5 firmwarezip Links UP!

It didn't work, even after rebooting twice via recovery. So I wiped cache and user data again and rebooted. My baby is till stuck at "Samsung" in the boot animation. :crying:

KEYofR - This is so depressing and I really do appreciate your encouraging words right now. I wish there was a Super Thanks button.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bhint15:
Sorry didn't read ahead. If you are on TWRP recovery just grab any rom and flash it and you should be booting. Make sure after you flash not to wipe anything (especially system).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:
I agree, I need to read more. I am learning every day. There is just no handbook that I can start on page one and start reading. So my limited knowledge is scattered. If flashing back to stock will fix it, then so be it. If you have any suggestions on what to do next or what to read, please tell me.

Oh, all the wipes I did was from the recovery menu. I don't think system was one of the choices. But it didn't boot before I did that either.

EDIT: Looking at the recovery menu, the only choices are

*Wipe data/Factory reset

*Wipe cache partition

So no system wipe choice there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SantinoInc:
Re: [Q] HELP!!! Bricked My Baby!

You may have to use ODIN to flash back to stock. First thing I would do is see if the phone will get into download mode. It's volume up or down with power button and home button.

If you can get into download mode you will have to use ODIN on your PC to get back to a stock rom. Thats my advice at least.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEYofR:
Re: [Q] HELP!!! Bricked My Baby!

After flashing ma5 and rebooting, did you let it sit on the samsung screen a while? I forget what the circumstances are but sometimes it can take a minute or so on the first boot.

You could try this one.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:
Many, many minutes. I walked away hoping and praying. No luck. I may have made a mistake. I was reading the MA5 thread and they talked about a complete wipe using Mega Wipe-Super Wipe-Factory Reset-Simple Wipe[All-in-One] Well I did it. But I then read the thread, and it mentioned not compatible with some versions. I quickly went to the top and realized I wasn't in the Sprint section anymore. I did the whole process several times and also confirmed that I did download the whole zip files. I read that caused problems too.

Oh, I see a red line of text fly by when I try to flash. Is that the dreaded FAILED to Flash that I read about?

Another symptom. I cannot get GalaxyNote2Toolkit to register that I have a device attached via USB.

I will try the one you just posted. If it works, I will try the MA5 again, as it is rooted and everyone seems to like it and Google Wallet works. I just have to figure out how to keep Google Spies from getting my Credit Cards. Usually DroidWall to not allow an internet connection. Maybe I will see how much damage Permissions Denied does to Google Wallet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEYofR:
Re: [Q] HELP!!! Bricked My Baby!

Flashing roms from the wrong version of the phone is a problem. I'm not sure how bad of a problem but it might be worse than usual and might require odin to recover. Definitely whatever you do you have to read slowly and be sure of everything. It's like measure 2 or 3 times, cut once. Make sure anything you flash says sprint or SPH-L900. I guess you know that the hard way by now :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:
I saw the red line of death while trying to flash LJC_Stock_With_Count_Reset. Still stops at "Samsung"

So, after starting Odin, which boxes do I check / uncheck? The usual Auto Reboot and F. Rest Time only? Do I use the zip you gave me in the last post and put it in PDA?

Or can I use the MA5?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bhint15:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:

I used SPH-L900 LJC (LJC Modem/Kernel/ROM - Stock) I used the Full restore with root

It failed the first try, but reading the on screen log, I saw things were successful, but in the end it failed. So I tried again exactly as I did before.

I came back expecting the worst and tada it was working. YEAH!!! :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lord Sekhmet:
I don't know the terms that apply to each. When you said, TWRP I thought you meant power/home/up volume. I didn't know it was outside of my phone. Now download mode is power/home/down volume and up to confirm? The reason I thought that is because TWRP looks like it might mean, "Touch Whiz Recovery Protocol" or something like that.

So what does TWRP stand for? What is the power/home/up volume recovery called?

Like my new signature? I made it up before I fixed my soft brick.

Oh, thanks so much for your patience and help.

I know I posted before about an issue I had with the pen pressure that I forced me to replace the pen. Now I am having another problem... this time with random 'wiggly lines' coming off my letters when I am writing. I take a lot of notes so this is an issue... my other pen didn't do this (and is now no longer working)

I notice it's sometimes better if I am using it a bit, but obvoiusly prevents me from writing quickly and getting anything done. It's like I have to go back and erase and have to write slower....

Has anyone else has this issue? This is just so frustrating since this is my second spen... without any sort of diagnostic tool on these devices, it's hard to tell what the problem could be

Yes, I've adjusted sensitivity underneath the switch.

Yes, I've changed the nib.

No, I am not using a case with a magnet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SayaX:
Anyone?

I noticed when trying my husband's Note II pen, it did the same thing, but not nearly as much. (My pen just seems more sensitive than his in general). It seems to be a lag/software issue. It doesn't do it as often in layerPaint... it seems to happen a lot more in S-note. I turned off airview and other things like that to try to see if it made some difference... it is really really annoying.

I'm not sure, but it seems to have started since the Jelly Bean update. I'm tempted to try another ROM.

I've done a lot of searching already and I can't find what you're talking about. I already know about lifting the side-switch and adjusting sensitivity if that is what you mean... I mentioned that in the OP.

I've read about the touching every edge of the screen for automatic calibration (this was in a Note 1 forum). I've even reset my tablet completely to try to fix this issue and it still persists...

I noticed also the pointer "hops" around as I am using it. I've noticed this and it's not only distracting, but it could mean the sensor is not staying where it should?... it's acting like a calibration issue, but how do you this calibrate this? I've disabling everything that could possibly cause lag as well...
