I have a sch-i605 verizon note 2. It is stuck in a boot loop. I can not access recovery, only download mode. I have flashed with odin over 20 times and am still stuck. I have tried all stock files, pit, all versions of odin, 3 different oem cables, 3 different pcs (1 win7 premium, 2 winXP), all 10 different USB ports. I have rebooted the pc's several times. I can get the stock samsung file from their site and the root66 stock rooted file to pass in odin but the phone is still in a bootloop. Please help if you can with any ideas, thanks!
Flash root66 in Odin with the PIT and check the NAND erase option in Odin.

What did you do before you started getting the bootloops? Just wondering for background on what happened to better steer you in the right direction.

I have the very same problem been without vzw note for about two weeks. What happend to me was i had flashed goodness noteworthy for the sprint/vwz note II i was suppose to flash three files from 3minit in order for the rom to work correctly but i ended up flashing something for the sprint version... Hopefully i can get some help from this too. . . Thank you in advance!
Not exactly sure what happened with the phone. I bought it from a guy that does lots of flashing to his devices and he said he messed it up and took it to a repair place that tried to reflash it for him and he said the tech said the battery died in the process. I plan to try the idea posted above about checking nand erase in Odin but won't be able to till tomorrow, any other ideas will be much appreciated.
The issue is Root66, and I believe the alternative recovery ROM, doesnt wipe the internal SD so whatever is causing your issue may still be there in some form or fashion. If that doesn't work then you could try the VRALJB or VRALL4 restore Roms and see if they work, if the guy was a flasher then he may have unlocked it before the VRAMC3 update screwed everything up.

What do you mean by, "the issue is root66?" Are you saying I shouldn't use it to flash? Those other 2 Roms when I have tried normally to flash it only runs for about 30 seconds then Odin says fail (vral4 & vraljb). The vramc3 and root66 actually runs the entire cycle and Odin says pass but phone stays stuck on flashing Samsung note 2 logo.
I mean that the Root66 ROM doesn't completely wipe the phone like the VRALJB and VRALL4 Roms do because of the way it was made, like I said earlier though if you check the NAND Erase box in Odin before flashing it should get you back to normal.

OK, so I have tried the ticking Hand Erase All in Odin 3 times now with root66, did not work either. But now there is a difference, not sure if its good or bad. When I try to power on the phone it goes to the android downloading logo without the Odin mode script in the top left hand corner, instead of bootlooping the note 2 logo.
shangrila500,
I'm up and running now. I tried the vraljb rom after the 4th attempt of root66 failing and vraljb worked. I guess doing the erase in Odin made that work, thanks very much. the phone is now on 4.1.1, should I do a manual update or no?

Its up to you what you want to do, if you would like to update to VRAMC3 and keep the phone locked then you can go ahead and take the OTA. If you wanna unlock I would go ahead and unlock on VRALJB instead of updating, then flash the ROM of your choosing.

if your stuck in a boot loop like i was, try the verizon wireless software upgrade assistant and use the repair assistant... worked for me!!
Do you mind uploading a copy of this program. I cant seem to find it anywhere and I desperately need it!
I can't find that verizon program anywhere either. I've tried most everything suggested. I even tried plugging in my wife's SCH-i605 and it didn't load the verizon program.
ok i got the same problem i took the ota 4.3 and im stuck in boot loop on samsung note 2 screen it just keeps flashing..
I have tried pulling the battery out i cant get into recovery it doesnt get that far... any ideas?

I've been at this constantly since my earlier posts. I can't reliably say what's causing it but the only fix that I have is to restore a Nandroid backup of Clean ROM that I have then try again. Sometimes it reboots, sometimes it's bootloop. Weird.
I have same original issue. My i605 is stuck on Samsung boot screen and I cannot access recovery mode. Download works. I've tried root66 with PIT and NAND Erase via Odin 3.09 several times. Odin says PASS but phone never gets past boot screen. I rooted phone about 18 months ago and don't recall steps. I was running CM11 for past 6 months. Any ideas?
