[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Digital DJ:
I'm having the same issue, I think I'm soft bricked though. I'm stuck on the screen with a huge yellow triangle stating unsupported software see verizon, anyway I did use jtag for my S3, he is legit. but like th other guys said, only as a last resort, I think I can fix my soft brick, and I believe you can to. I'm trying different usb cables right now, and different ports. Nothing is working, although idon keeps telling me SUCCESS!,ugh, I'll keep trying.

EDIT: ChiefsFan (btw I'm a Chargers fan so naturally I shouldn't help you, but in the spirit of hi-tech phones, I will) I fixed mine dude. I used a different usb port and cable. Not sure if that helped or not, but I also re-downloaded the VRALJB file that I highlighted in red. I believe it's the one that will take you back to stock, no root, and locked bootloader. I don't want root nor a locked boot loader, so I'm good. If you want root, I would do it this way, then re-root. I too had to pay $700 for my GN2, so I kinda don't want to mess around with it anymore, plus my business took off, so I just don't have a ton of time to root, etc... anyway I hope this helps bro. Make sure in Odin you have the .Pit file in the proper place and in PDA put the .tar file you choose. Honestly I had to do it about 8 times before it took and again, I'm not 100% sure switching the usb port/cable was the trick but it worked, and the redownload of the VRALJB I wanted may have also helped. Best!

Section 1b: How to return to stock 4.1.1 Jelly Bean coming from any rom with Odin

Step 1: Download and install Odin- http://xdaforums.com/atta...2&d=1340993443

Step 2: Download one of these stock VRALJB images and pit file to a windows based pc. Make sure to extract the file with 7zip, there should be a .tar file extension.

Official VRALJB 4.1.1 12/9/12- http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390214368362234374

This will wipe data and return your device to factory stock out of the box conditions. This file can only be used on devices that never took the VRALL4 or VRAMC3 OTA update. If this file is flashed on a updated device, Odin will fail @ sboot.bin.

Alternate Restore File 4.1.1 VRALJB- http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390225151984927096 This restore file is for folks currently on the latest VRALL4 or VRAMC3 OTA. The Alternate Restore File does not lock bootloader, but will unroot and replace recovery with Android Stock Recovery. To complete the bootloader lock, simply OTA update.

Root66 stock VRALJB 4.1.1 12/2/12- http://androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390210501348163619 This is our very first fully functional rooted Odin image.. Thanks MrRobinson!! This file does not wipe data, lock bootloader, or replace recovery. Its simply a easy way for folks who want to flash back to rooted stock as a stepping stone to another rom.

SCH-I605_16gb.Pit- http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?05cj895zu3tls7z

Step 3: Power device off, hold the volume down/home/power keys until you see a yellow triangle, then press the volume up key to access "odin or download mode".

Step 4: Open Odin and connect the oem usb cable from pc to device. The driver should automatically install( it did for me on windows 7 64bit). There should also be a "comport number" in upper left hand corner of Odin indicating communication between the pc & device.

Step 5: Click on the pit function of Odin and select the sch-i605-16gb.pit file.

Step 6: Click on the PDA function of Odin. Select the stock VRALJB image you downloaded in step 1, then select start. This operation should take less than 8 minutes before Odin will say pass/reset.

Step 7: Your device should boot back up into factory stock 4.1.1 android! However, If your device is stuck in a bootloop, power the device off, press and hold the volume up/home/power buttons until the samsung logo appears. The device will boot into recovery and from there you will need to wipe data/factory reset, then reboot.

If odin no longer recognizes your device, most likely Casual killed the driver for odin!! follow this tutorial for restoring the driver:
