I rooted my phone a couple days back and tried to install a custom rom today. That was my first time rooting and today was my first time trying to install a custom rom. I just want to get it back to stock at this point. When i turn the phone on it sticks at the samsung galaxy note II logo. I can boot into odin mode but i cannot boot into recovery mode or the os. Ive tried flashing just the bootloader... ive tried just flashing the pda... ive tried flashing the pit, bootloader and pdaat the same time and Ive tried flashing just the bootloader and just the pda... im stuck any help would be much appreciatied. Its a verizon note 2 i used the toolkit method to root. If this has happend and been solved a point to the right thread would be great..... Ive seen people say to flash then wipe it and what not, really need a tutorial that abc's it since its my first time. I thought i had it when i used the toolkit to do the odin download + bootrecovery option but it says my phone is not in usb debugging mode and i cant boot into the os to turn it on.... Help please. Its a galaxy note 2 on verizon network the sch-1605 version.

Thank you

You're just trying to return to stock, correct?

Read How to return to stock 4.1.1 Jelly Bean coming from any rom with Odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207

(make sure to add the Pit file in Odin along with the stock image)

Hopefully this should help you out. Feel free to ask questions if you need more info.
Wow your a life saver thank you for the information, used the return to stock from any rom worked great thx again

Why are people wanting to go back to 4.1 from 4.3? I saw a vast improvement in my note's performance and can't see a reason as to what you would be loosing/gaining by traveling back.

You can't unlock and get custom recovery on 4.3. You can get safestrap on 4.3 but no twrp

If you accept the 4.3 OTA then you are unable yo use a tool like casual to unlock limiting you to safestrap

OOOO

I see. So accepting a verizon OTA unroots your phone and makes it so you can't put a custom bootloader on it anymore. That sucks. But if you never took the actual OTA then you are good to go with a bootloader is what you are basically sating?

If you were unlocked on 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 and did not accept the OTA you're fine
