First to ease your mind. Android is linux. TWRP or Team Win Recovery Project, is your recovery window. from here you can do root admin commands. Basically like being in your windows bios. just with more power. Setup your rom thats on your sdcard using the install
AS always stated, you should not try to load roms from Odin. Once you have root, don't use Odin any more. Everything else should be done in recovery. If you are in bootloops and can get into recovery, use it to fix your phone. ONLY if you have problems with recovery should you use Odin to fix your device.

Factory reset your phone. then you should see Odin again. That fixed it for me.Alright fellas, little bit of a freak out going right now and hopefully it's just user error and not a complete loss.
Traded my GS3 to a guy with for a Vzw Note 2, and proceeded to attempt an unlock, root and recovery install. Tried using the Note2 toolkit, and to no avail because it kept on "failing", so I would reboot and proceed to look for other methods. I found the CASUAL and started in with trying to use that method. So I went ahead and downloaded the latest version(or so I thought I did). Long story short, the process failed at the last moment, and now I can't even boot my phone. All it does is flash the Note 2 screen over and over again every 3 seconds. I can get into ODIN mode but that's it, my phone isn't even recognized by odin on my laptop even though it was earlier during a previous attempt. I NEED HELP QUICKLY!!! You can call my a noob, or whatever the hell you guys call these days(I've had plenty of flashing experience so that's hard to swallow), and that's fine. I'm a United States Army Mortar Infantryman, so I've got thick skin and can take a tongue lashing. But I really, really need and would appreciate some help and step-by-step guidance here fellas. Either reply or hit me up on gtalk now because I really need to get this done before an early, EARLY night/morning live fire
Thanks, and cheers.
That won't be possible. The only thing I can do from this phone at this exact moment is go into odin mode. My laptop does not see the phone if I connect it while it's in odin, and it will not boot. Period.
It's hard without having the device in front of me. Did you follow the steps on the forum for restoring to stock?
I wish I could get to recovery but just like the guy who posted after me all I can do is get into odin and neither of my two computers see the phone. Any help the community could give would greatly be appreciated.
i found the problem...casual seems to kill the wi dows driver for odin. here is the fix!Alright so it seems a couple of us have the same problem, stuck in Odin mode and computer won't recognize. Well my phone has been like this for over three weeks now and I still can't seem to find any solutions. I'm to the point where if someone even thought they could fix it I'd send my phone to them. For now I'm stuck using this Samsung Fascinate.

I did it using this method before the latest update.
There are 2 methods there. Stock & alternate restore. Which one did you use?
