HELP! I'm not sure what went wrong but I had rooted my phone when I first bought it 2 years ago, but was running stock rom this whole time. Phone was running slow so I decided to erase and flash a new rom. I went to follow the Ditto Note 3 instructions which start by flashing MJ5 via Odin, and now the phone just flashes the Samsung logo over and over. I can enter download mode but I'm not sure thats even working as it won't let me flash a stock rom. I do have TWRP and made a nandroid prior to this, but now I cant even get into Recovery mode. Do I have any options or is this unfixable? Please let me know what else you need to know, I have flashed roms in the past but I am stuck on this one. Thank you in advance.

If you read the directions.. You would have noticed that it is for N7100 NOT I605.. And then the BIG BOLD letters telling you NEVER to flash another bootloader!
You guys seriously need to read and also think about what you are doing before you pull the trigger. It would save A LOT of you the headache. If you are not sure what you are doing maybe you need to research more and do a little reading before flashing something you have NO IDEA what it is on a $400 phone.

Sounds like you did what I did. I ended up buying a used motherboard off ebay for about $70 and replacing the bad one. Phone works fine now.
There is a thread somewhere on here that shows how to fix the motherboard but it looked to complicated for me.

Been using a Note ll on Beans ROM for about 18 months. Phone died on Monday and I have been trying without any success to root the replacement. Odin fails to write to the phone. Phone was delivered with stock 4.4.2.
I did not use Odin originally. Don't know how I rooted it
I am completely lost as to where to start..
Reinstalled drivers a number of times. Odin sees the phone, but that's it..
Help please!

Sorry to say, but there's no current root method and no current bootloader unlock method that you can use for our Verizon Note 2's running Kit Kat 4.4.2. For now, you are stuck with stock. The last Android build for our phones that you can root and unlock the bootloader on is 4.1.2. Android version 4.3 is rootable, but no bootloader unlock.

Thanks, but a shame none of the root experts see fit to say that in big letters...

I am looking for the Stock 4.4.2 KitKat VRUFND7 image. Every link I find is broken or a missing file (tried both Samsung sites). I just need to flash via ODIN, stuck at Verizon Red Screen... Thanks!

Any way to restore just recovery?

I made the mistake of trying to push TWRM because I thought I was on my unlocked phone. I think it can be fixed by flashing the default recovery back, but I don't want to do a back to factory and lose the data on the phone. Does anyone have a pre-made just the recovery package for odin so I don't have to make one?

Android version 4.3 is rootable, but no bootloader unlock.

so if I have 4.3 what are the options for custom ROMs or major customization?

Thanks.
