[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lighty0uup:
Hello, I've been rooting my phones for a long time and have never had any issues with the phone bricking on me. I made some noobish mistakes when flashing illusion ROM and formatted the system partition and thats where everything went downhill. After that i could get into TWRP and I tried several different ROMS and nandroid backups and nothing would work, just kept giving me the Galaxy Note 2 start screen that wouldn't go away, I waited hours several times I tried this. I found out how to get back to stock with Odin so I tried that and finally got back to stock 4.1.2.

I then tried the casual root method and got partition errors and when I unplugged my phone and tried to boot it back up all I get is a yellow triangle saying that my phone is trying to run unauthorized software and to take it to my nearest Verizon store. I can boot into download mode still but now my computer(Windows 8) will not recognize my phone. It makes the connection sounds but it doesn't show up in my device list or in my device manager. From here I tried uninstalling and re-installing the Samsung drivers but to no avail it still doesn't recognize my phone. Neither my computer or Odin recognize it plugged in. Can someone please help me? give me anything else to try, please.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
casual killed the odin driver...the same thread you restored to stock look at the bottom of the section for the link to restoring the odin driver.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] art90262:
Keep reading.... at least thats how I fixed my phone today. I didnt realize I needed to unlock the bootloader so I ended up with the unauthorized software yada yada yada.....lots of reading, youtube video research, xda posts, trial and errors and sheer luck not to brick it worse and I was back up and running in a few hours learning a lot on the way....dont give up!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciniob:
How did you fix your phone?

I got the message about unauthorized software on my i605 note2. When I boot into recovery, I get the message. If I boot into download mode, I can use odin. I tried in reroot with root66 (just grasping at straws) and it took it. Then, the minute I unplugged, boom, the message.

I tried note 2 toolbox and got now where.

I downloaded original firmware from Sammobile.com. I have to unzip it, then look for it with odin I guess.

Amy ideas? Help??

How did u get back to stock w odin?

I have the message when I boot into recovery. I can boot into download mode and odin sees my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
Stay away from that toolbox. Only use droidstyle's guide. Did you try the vramc3 file? That will make it completely stock again. Then use casual. Then flash roms again

How do I get Odin to recognize I605.zip file?

I downloaded odin and unzipped it. I downloaded I605vramc3_I605VZ...zip.

I unzipped odin (I've used it before but I decided to unzip the latest copy just in case there were some upgrades...). I pressed "Pit" and looked for the file. I was unable to find it. So per the guide, I unzipped the .zip file with 7zip. Odin is still unable to find something that I can use. It's like Odin doesn't see the .zip or the unzipped .zip.

How do I get all those files that unzipped turned into something that Odin can find and that I can use?

I know Odin works. Grasping at straws I injected Root 66 into my note2. But of course that didn't remove the offending files so I still get the Unauthorized Software notice.

So in sum, can you tell me how to get Odin to locate the files I downloaded per the guide?

Thank you so much in advance for your patients. I'm not really new to this it's just that this is the first time that I've bricked my phone. Funny thing is the S4 took the goo manager just fine and then I was able to load TWRP onto the S4 with no problem.

I have not unlocked the S4 and I don't thing I unlocked the Note2. I know I used Easy Unlock on one of my phones but I think it was the Razr Maxx.

Anyway, the Note 2 was doing just fine until I tried to put TWRP on it. then I got the dreaded message.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaveKnowsAll:
Can't get Odin working

Bean running Beans v21 since it came out and loving it. Yesterday I installed the NBC Million Second Quiz app from the play store, and it froze my phone on a black screen....capacitive buttons would light up, and I could get the reboot menu, but selecting reboot did nothing. No worries -- I pulled the battery and restarted, and was stuck on boot animation. No worries -- booted into TWRP recovery, wiped cache and davlik. Reboot. Still stuck on boot animation. Now worried. Go back into TWRP and re-install Beans v21...It goes through Aroma, but stays on 0% installing forever. Now I figure that somehow the boot loader got re-locked, though can't imagine how that would happen. Boot into Bootloader, and it does say that it is the Samsung standard. Next I put it into download mode and ran CASUAL for 605. It takes, says it rewritten the bootloader, but when it tries to reboot the phone, I am again stuck on the boot animation forever. No problem -- now I should be able to go back into TWRP, wipe data, re-install a ROM since the phone is unlocked again, and move forward. But now when I go into recovery I no longer get TWRP..now I get the Verizon yellow triangle, I assume becuase CASUAL couldn't reboot to complete. I downloaded odin, the pit, and the 605 image and tried to restore to factory, but odin can't connect. I am guessing that this is because CASUAL replaced Odin.

I see a link to a youtube video, but can't open it from work.

So ... Can someone outline for me how to get odin to connect again after using CASUAL. Or, if there is a better next step, I'm all ears!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciniob:
I am starting to think that someone at Verizon stumble across some way to slam that dreaded triagle onto our note2. Mine worked just fine until a few days ago when i tried to load twrp.

My counter shows 1 and my kernel shows custom (hence giving verizon a way out of the warranty). Funny thing though, i never opened the bootloader, i never re-rommed. I just rooted.

I am stuck. I can't get odin to see the original firmware i downloaded from this forum. I tried unzipping it w 7zip. I have the unzipped files but still odin can't see them.

What am i doing wrong here?

What does your counter show? Does it show a custom kernel ("yes" displayed when you open the note into downloadmode under kernel)?

Where did u c the video? Point me in that direction and I'll watch it for u and me and let u know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciniob:
It WORKS!! My Note2 is back!!

For those of you who have been following my saga. I have now recovered my Note2. I installed I605Vramc3 using Odin for the S3. I had to find the file that I downloaded (C:\Users\John\Desktop\KIES_HOME_I605VRAMC3_I605VZWAMC3_1098177_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5). I then copied that file into DESKTOP on my notebook. Now, I was able to point Odin in that direction. I plugged in my note while in Download mode, injected the file, and waited for the reboot. Botta bang, botta boom, the note rebooted with a flurry on downloaded new app updated.

The only problem I have is that I don't have root. Now I have to figure out how to inject root. But that's for another day!! As for now, I am up an running. I thought for sure I had a $600 paper weight.

The warning is gone and thank God it all works.

Thank you to everyone that participated in this saga. It's nice to know that I am not alone.

By the way, Casual repartitions your device. That may be why it failed for an earlier poster.

Update!

I just finished installing No You Verizon R515. My Baseband is I605VRAMC3. I am on 4.1.2. The instalation was a breeze. I am now safely backed up w TWRP.

Many thanks to Adam. Also thanks to Droidmotter video.

I am stoked:) I am so looking forward to going back into the Verizon store I went to for help and telling them I will not be spending $700 bones on a new note2!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciniob:
What kind of computer are you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jersey droid:
I have had a rooted for for 3 years now. G Nexus and now note 2. Wiped....flashed....backed up....wiped and flashed again hundreds of times. 2 days ago I wiped and tried to flash a nightly and bam.... nothin. Went to nandroid back and nothing there! Re booted and got yellow triangle. Wouldnt let me even boit into odin. After hours of screwing around I threw it against a wall.....dunked it in the toilet.... poured gas on it and lit that mofo. Paid 99 bucks and had assurion send me a replacement. My wife said I better not root it! Have made it 24 hours so far. Dont think im gonna make it much longer..... m u s t r o o o o t!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciniob:
You..., must..., root. You..., will..., root. TWRP, Titanium backup, they are calling you from the path less traveled. You can not resist. Your wife does not understand. You..., will..., ROOT..., ROOt..., ROot..., Root..., root..., roo... , ro... , r...,

You now it was funny. When I finally recovered my note2, I paused to contemplate my success.

I spent a few minutes then reading the posts of those who unsuccessfully tried to root using Casual. All I could think of was the fact that after a week of not being able to use my Note, I was not going to risk it.

Besides, I have my rooted S3. I am running android apps on my BB Q10. Hell, I even have the Nexus 10 and the Ipad (and two ipods) (I devices jb'n of course).

Did I really want to take the time and risk the yellow triagle?

I rooted it. No hick ups what-so-ever.

You must root. You can't not root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciniob:
Vramc3 was the solution, well, almost... I couldn't get Odin to see the file. Fortunately I placed it in the desktop folder on my notebook, odin saw it and i'm up and running.

Thank you for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaveKnowsAll:
Follow up -- Simply put: Delete installed samsung drivers in applications and device manager (plug in the device so you can see them, then delete them) and then plug in the phone and allow it to re-install drivers from windows update (or you can download yourself, since windows update can take a long time).

Once I got connected, I was able to ODIN in a stock image -- couldn't use Route 66, as it still gave me the yellow triangle, but VRAMC3 stock worked. Then back to Casual, TWRP, and freedom once again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] philipm93:
Hi,

I'd like to have some help. I bought a Verizon Samsung galaxy S3 ( SCH-I535 ) unlocked for Verizon, Rogers and Chatr. Since I have it, I'm reading and trying some things (root, flash rom, etc.), but I can't get it working on Koodo(Canada) with the SIM card I had. I readed stuff about GSM network on global mode but it didn't work for me ( Maybe I did something wrong..)

I would need help for this
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dspcap:
I've seen threads of people not happy with the data signal, but I didn't realize how bad it was until I was in a movie theater today. I couldn't get any data signal, not even basic google search. I even tried re-booting and still nothing. Picked up my wife's iPhone 4s and it was flying around internet sites.

I tested the same thing afterwards at the local food market and the exact same thing. My phone, no inside signal, her iPhone, perfect.

How can a phone become so popular with such crappy signal?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I've seen complaints too but I've got to say that my One has been on par with my iPhones, Galaxy S3, Blackberry's, etc... No signal issues here whatsoever

The other person on my plan has an iPhone 5 and we both usually have the same amount of signal anywhere we go
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:
note 2 is popular as can be and mine drops calls everyday.

I would get it swapped out. Maybe you got a dud. HTC usually has better radios than everybody but Moto.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Ranger093:
The only huge issue I have with it is its TERRIBLE hand-off, at least when my iPhone 5 or DNA lost 4g LTE it would grab it the moment it was available again. The One just holds onto that crappy 3G for dear life until I force it to go to LTE again.

Edit: Or wait 5-10 minutes.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] InitialG:
I don't notice a difference from my Galaxy S4.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Ovy13:
I've had the phone for two weeks and saw the 3G icon for the first time today. Signal has been fine...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
That's weird! I haven't experienced that problem either. I've only noticed my One on 3G once but the hand off to LTE seemed pretty normal to me. I can't really comment on that issue though because my area is pretty much all LTE so I don't deal with the hand offs.

I wonder if it's a defect in your phone? Does the One allow us to update the PRL? I remember the HTC EVO had an update PRL option that I think could do something with service issues... something or other, I can't really remember.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Ranger093:
No I don't think it is, GrayWolf has the same issue. I live in Minnesota and frequently travel to jobsites where there is concrete and such. Because Verizon hasn't upgraded every cell site with LTE yet just "Most of them" I frequently go into 3G. When the device goes into 3G for an extended period of time sometimes it takes a reboot to get back to LTE, most of the time it takes awhile to go back. And sometimes it goes right away, it's pretty annoying to be honest and may make me go to the Droid Maxx.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jmstumme:
Lte onoff in the market helps me out. It was used for the thunderbolt to turn off the Lte radio when it was new. I toggle to Lte only, wait for it to get a signal them back to cdma+lte
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jbh00jh:
Your sim card updates the PRL.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] replica9000:
I'll get a change to test out my reception later. I do know the 4G on the One seems almost twice as fast as my Rezound though.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Mike02z:
I find my signal is much better on the One than on my previous SIII or SGN.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Zwitterion:
Samsung has the worst radios. The Galaxy Nexus absolutely blew in that respect and, everyone came up with theories about false calibration of bars and whatnot, but the fact remained that it sucked with weak reception and poor hand-off between 3G and LTE.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dspcap:
I found my Samsung Nexus was horrible, my Galaxy S3 was good... but now my One is not good again. I just hung up with a vzw CSR and he told me they had some problems with SIM cards when the One was released and to go get a new one. He said the SIM card could absolutely fix the problem.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] pmterp:
My experience has been similar to what you had today. It seems mostly indoors I experienced the problems. I'm wondering, were you able to unlock your phone on day one? I did, and I'm wondering if custom ROMs or other changes we've been able to make have affected our reception.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dspcap:
I tried on day one, but they couldn't activate my phone... ughhh... but I was told today to get a new sim card.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] replica9000:
The Nexus was disappointing in several ways. I didn't go by the bars, but the dBm readout under settings. The Rezound was on par with my DInc, and soon I'll see how The One holds up to that.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
My issues were related to a bad ril in CyanogenMod.

Only thing I notice now is that text messages take forever to send.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] pmterp:
Is ril part of the ROM? I'm running hyperdrive and wonder if it could be related?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mcampos7:
My reception in general was better on my DNA. I am yet to see 5 bars on my One, but I'm also yet to see no signal. Using apps like dropbox from the gallery is nearly impossible, takes too long to load even a couple pictures let alone swipe through them. Don't care, I love this phone. My DNA shipped out to the buyer today. No regrets.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Yes. But if it is based on stock then the radios should be exactly the same.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] thekwijibo:
I haven't had any issues with my data signal until today. I now see full bars, 4G, and I can be sitting directly under a Verizon tower. I receive NO data connection. I had to call up Verizon, and ended up doing a factory reset with no change. I'll go to the Verizon store after work to get a new SIM card to see if that's the issue or not.

I find it "interesting" that the symptoms of the lack of data occurred immediately after a Verizon bloatware application popped up after a phone call informing me on how I was somehow beginning the participation in a 14 day trial of their Caller ID program. I pulled up the options, declined, and reconfirmed my removal from the program. From then on, I had no data. No amount of rebooting, or even a factory reset could get me to receive data once again.

Has anyone else had a similar issue?

Unrooted stock HTC One

Unlimited Data Plan
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I opened that app just to see what it was all about and did the trial. I later ended the trial and haven't had any data problems.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] thekwijibo:
Strange. My data suddenly started working again. Almost like a 4 hour unscheduled data outage. *sigh* first world problems.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Zwitterion:
That's what you get for declining VZW's glorious and oh-so-useful apps. ;)

Seriously, who uses the sh*t they peddle?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] fritzo:
Odd, as I'm having the exact opposite experience. The signal on my HTC One is a LOT better than the G Nex and Razr I used previously. Maybe it has to do with the area or something.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:
is there a mobile data toggle in the quick settings? I've had to do that occasionally on all my lte phones when it wants to hold onto 3g when I know LTE is available.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] replica9000:
So on my phone the signal seems to be better than any other HTC phone I've had. With my DInc or Rez, I could get slow 3G or 4G in the parking lot at work. In the lobby, I was lucky to get a text message out. I actually had 3G and some 4G in the lobby. Not the fastest, but usually I have nothing.

Oh and did I mention 4G seems faster on this phone? I did a test at home and got 32883kbps down. My Rez usually was around 25000ish.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dspcap:
Can you let me know if the SIM card helps? I was supposed to get a new one today, but didn't have time.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
sounds dumb, and I'm sure you guys have tried.

but try updating PRL

take out SIM card for a minute (phone off)

and then turn back on see if it changed, if it did u got updated to the newer one, may help.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] thekwijibo:
For some reason, after about 6 hours of no internet with full reception, out of the blue it suddenly started working again. :confused:

However, yesterday I went into the store anyways and talked to a few employees who were just as confused as me. We swapped out the SIM card just to be safe.

That method was suggested by the Verizon tech support over the phone, yet was unsuccessful in fixing the issue. I did get a new SIM card though in hopes that it will prevent another incident like that from happening again.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
thought so, hope you get it fixed!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jbh00jh:
Today was one of those days where I was all over town and the suburbs with the wife taking care of a bunch of errands.

We used her car so she was driving and I had time to play with the phone between stops. I was suprised that we never did lose 4G the entire day (even 15 miles out of town). I get 3 bars at my house but arround town we had 4 and 5 bars most of the day.All our towers were upgraded about 2 years ago so I really can't complain about this phone's radio anymore.

Sent from my 4G LTE HTC One
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] thekwijibo:
Hmmm... New SIM card installed yesterday, and I had another "data outage" with a full 4G signal again. This one lasted only for about 20 minutes instead of several hours. (reboot, sim removal, data enable toggle, etc. = no effect) Data resumed randomly again.

Wondering if it is a sign of a faulty phone, or if I pissed someone off within Verizon about keeping my unlimited data plan.

Called VZW again. Apparently they're having a "large" network disruption involving several towers in my area. We'll see what tells after they get it resolved.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] WOLF26915:
My HTC ONE dose not have any 3G or 4G LTE signal issues. They just turned on 4G LTE in my area, so far it's great
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] thead73:
well i posted in the other forum, so ill post here as well. trying to get some more info before my 14 days is up and might have to switch to a moto maxx.

i was out fishing tonight with a buddy. phone had a few bars of 3g so i cycled the airplane mode, and got 4 bars of 4g. i while later went down to 3g. then a while later 1x with no internet. the whole time we did not move. his iphone 4s had 3 bars of 3g and worked the whole time. there is definitely something going on with the htc one's antenna. this is my second phone and sim card so i guess i should trade it for a moto maxx. i just hope the moto is better.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:
moto has the best radios from what I've heard plus its a plastic phone so it should have stronger reception.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dornstar:
Just switched to the HTC One today after being on a Note 2 (son dropped it in a toilet).

On my Note 2, not once did I ever drop 4G.

On this phone, I've been stuck on 3G since I first noticed the icon when I was driving home. Tried updating PRL, using LTE OnOff, toggling airplane mode, etc, etc. I've literally seen the 4G popup once for like 10 seconds. Gonna have to head back to the store tomorrow for a new SIMS cared to see if that works. So far, this is my only gripe with the phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] platinum8317:
I've seen significantly drop in signal since i switched to the ONE. I had the razr Maxx before and always had 4 bars of 4g at work. Now it's barely 3 bars on 3g always. I've tried the reset. Next going to VZ store to try a different sim. So we'll see. Really anoying. Maybe a software fix is in order.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] coolbluedab:
bars are meaningless, especially against different brands. At least go into settings and network. and look at the signal strength numerically.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] replica9000:
The numeric reading on my One seems on par with what my Rezound was showing me. I do seem to get faster speeds than my Rezound did though. At work I have poor service. Sometimes I have 4G, sometimes 3G, sometimes only 1X. Today I was in 1X for quite a bit, but it was pretty quick for 1X. On my previous phones, that was pretty much useless at work.

I've also disabled eHRPD on the One. I've done this with my Rezound too. You don't get the smooth hand-off if you're in the middle of downloading something, but the phone is more willing to hold on to 4G longer in a poor service area.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:
how do you do this?

For me, signal was great at the house, no dropping calls like my note 2. As far as work goes, I did have 1 failed sms earlier. Signal in my office is bad due to shielding. Just hoping its better than the note 2.
