So, to start off, I messed up big time...
I'll give you the short version, but try to provide as much info as possible. I switched roms a few times in the last few days, going from Trents 8, to the newest Dirty Unicorns, to Trents 10 (where I started having issues) back to DU. I was trying to figure out where the issues came from, and came across someone saying that going from a touchwiz based rom, off of it, and back on, can cause problems. I then read that one of the best ways to fix this was to flash stock firmware and reflash new roms. I tried doing this...
Little did I know, it was a HUGE mistake for me to flash the 4.3 firmware through odin, and when the phone restarted, the "Galaxy Note II" page just kept flashing on and off for a few minutes. I think tried flashing older firmwares, with pit file, but I kept getting errors when I restarted saying that I didn't have Verizon Authorized Software.
Sooo this is where I'm stuck right now. I can't boot the phone at all, and when I try to flash the root66 firmware (the one that's supposed to fix everything?) I still get this verizon unauthorized page. It seems from what I've read that the bootloader relocked because of my 4.3 flash, and I can't find any info on how to unlock that. Anyone have suggestions? I'd really appreciate it!
Update: I retried the 4.3 firmware, and right now "Android is upgrading..." so I'm assuming this means my bootloader is locked, I've lost root, and all that jazz right? From what I've read so far there isn't any way to unlock the bootloader again, am I right? If so, can you point me in the right direction? Much appreciated!
