WARNING: Once youre unlocked dont use odin to flash custom ROMs.

---

The title says it all. Nothing good can come of flashing with Odin except returning to stock. Stick with CWM or TWRP flashable zip files. If you disregard this message you will end up with a locked device, or even worse, a hard bricked device. Please use Odin as a factory restore tool only. I'm concerned that after unlock using our methods that people will flash the wrong thing and cause problems in the future.

The unlock method we have provided is not a standard Bootloader Unlock. It is an IROM unlock. This means you can quite literally flash anything to your device without any sort of signature checks. It is important that you stay safe and try to stay away from Odin unless absolutely necessary.

Thanks for all the hard work

Yup! I can already see the threads starting.... It is good to know that we can still use Odin though cause I was under the impression that Odin was a no-go at this point... So flashing the factory image from imnuts would be the best resort to get back to stock if we needed to return a device?

Thanks buddy! I just checked it out and I am very thankful for your guides as it has helped me and MANY others! I have thanked so many people that my limit is up (for the day) but I appreciate your time that you have put forth to helping people!

I know I'm off topic. I'm not an owner of the note 2 but wanted to say awesome signature to the OP. From one vet to another thank you
