[Q] Didn't unlock bootloader on I605 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I have searched and searched, please forgive me if this has already been covered. I forgot to unlock the bootloader on Verizon note 2 and now i can't get passed "Firmware upgrade encountered...recovery mode in Kies....." I have tried Kies and I have tried installing the stock rom many times in ODIN mode. Please help. I have been trying for two days now to no avail. Thank you.

Sorry.
I posted in the wrong section. I can't figure out how to delete it or move it to the Verizon section. Sorry. :silly:

Thanks.

Got it.
I kept searching and used these. t0ltevzw_root.tar.md5 , sch-i605-16gb.pit

read the stickies...

I did read the stickies and none of them were working for me until i found those. Now i am getting the "system software not authorized by verizon wireless". Everything is good and passes in ODIN but it goes right back to the yellow triangle. I was trying to go back to stock when it happened to do the CASUAL method.

Arghh! Wrkng button. Stupid budwieser. Just delete this thread.

[Q] Yellow Triangle at boot

First off I see on this forum that people freak the hell out when you post something that may possibly have been posted at one point in the past, so let me assure you I've searched this forum and the internet in general looking for help with this problem, and found nothing helpful.
I read the FAQ, and the sections here:
I've rooted now why do I have an exclamation point on my loading screen?
Anytime you flash a non-stock kernel in download mode this will appear.
Work around method by Entropy512 to eliminate the exclamation on boot screen

Which linked me to a page that said:
Flash the stock kernel using Odin or Heimdall. Since this kernel autoroots the system image, you'll retain root.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Where do I get a stock Kernel? How exactly do I do this?
Then the next step says something that is completely greek to me, it doesn't seem to have much to do with fixing the Yellow Triangle problem.
I also scoured the internet looking for a fix and most of it involves the International version of the phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'd love to get rid of that annoying little triangle.

No, you clearly did not read the FAQ and all stickies in this forum as one should do whenever posting to a forum on the Internet, since not only is your question answered in the FAQ, there's an entire guide as a separate sticky post at the top of this forum!

I absolutely DID read the FAQ.
My question is not answered in the FAQ, and if you would have read it, you'd know that.
I've looked at every sticky in the forum, the one at the top does not address this.
Can I get a link to the sticky? If it's the one posted below that doesn't help me either. I've already rooted and installed Cyanogen 7 on my phone, now all I need to do is get rid of the yellow triangle
I mean, would it have taken you as long to help me out as it did to come on here and yell at me? I read over the forums for hours, did google searches, so I came here.
Isn't this a place to get help? If so, why are there dickheads just trying to **** in your cereal here?
Thank you Defnow, that was extremely helpful.
It worked, I now have a splash screen with no triangle, but unfortunately it doesn't get any further than that. I now just have a black screen after the spash screen. Any ideas on how to remedy this?
Will using a jig get rid of the ROM and kernel I already have flashed onto my phone, or will it just remove the YT and reset the counter? I've been curious about this for a while now.

Please use the new ZergRush method to root your phone. It's much safer and does not require kernel swap or flash anything. It will not show YT because you didn't flash anything at all.
As for OP, you need read MUCH more before start doing things like flashing ROM or kernel. Take any shortcut will only put you in a fast track to brick(ed) land which from what I saw is exactly where you are now.

The issue is you rooted in a way that tripped the flash counter.
Which is discussed in the return to stock thread.
And flashing the *stock kernel* back will remove the yellow triangle. Or using a *usb jig*.
Which is discussed.
Your problem is you flashed cm7 before you fixed the yellow triangle issue. The cm7 thread states that it does not support the *stock kernel*. To flash the *stock kernel* would remove cwm, which removes the ability to use cwm (kinda obvious, I know. Just trying to educate the obvious noobs). And since there's no way to boot cm7 on the i777 with stock kernel, you'd be stuck and have to use download mode and odin to return to stock, as you would have no other options.
From the above information, all from existing threads, you have two options.
Option 1
Buy a *usb jig*. Undoes tripping the flash counter and gets rid of the yellow triangle.
Option 2
Use odin to flash back to stock, which will completely remove cm7. The flash counter will still be tripped.
Obviously the *usb jig* will be easier to use and will undo tripping the flash counter. Though it costs money, you have to wait for it to ship, and so far at&t has not been caring about a tripped flash counter.
Thank you for doing research before posting. Understand you read the answer and just did not get it. So when you post and say you've read the stickys and it's not covered, when we know it is, what are we to say? The information is in there. Literally there is a step by step write up dealing with removing the yellow triangle.

So... let me get this straight.
1. You didnt read the FAQs or stickies that CLEARLY fix/cure/answer your question.
2. Decided to post a thread asking how to get rid of the yellow triangle and for a stock kernel.
3. Didnt read or click on the two posts above this one (that Im quoting) that was posted 45 and 40 minutes before this post.
4. Decided to flame the ones that posted in this thread to help you by calling them "dickheads" and use a horrible analogy to sum things up.
Did I miss anything? You have been here for 9 months and only 4 posts (all of them in this thread) so Im assuming that you do reading here and not posting... so you should have read the FAQs and stickies at the top of the forums. Its not a good idea to flame people for trying to help you. Its not their fault that you didnt read what you were supposed to, or for not reading the two posts above yours that actually point you in the right direction.
Infraction issued due to flaming.

That might be, but that doesn't change the fact that the device you are working with is an Epic 4G Touch (SPH-D710), and not an I9100. I9100 users will typically not be able to help you, and files in this forum will not get you out of the situation you have created by doing just that; using a file from this forum, on a device that it was not meant for.
You will find many E4GT users have done the same. They were all likewise directed to the correct forum.

Hey sorry for not replying,
As I am not in scripting, I am completely unaware of such things. I tried hard with the search but couldn't find anything useful. I didn't reply because I was expecting a reply from someone with answer. I saw your thread but it is also unanswered.

Yes.
Welcome to XDA.
Please go to your device's forum using the search your device box from site. type samsung galaxy s2 and choose your device from the options. Look for the stock odin firmwares thread there. Download the one from your region, see the instructions given on flashing there. If you don't understand the instructions, check out youtube videos for that.
Odin is a easy process and just needs instructions to be followed correctly.
And inform us here when you recover your phone again.

Hi,
Make sure you close samsung kies when you try to use odin.
As for flashing anything from odin, you will need to boot into download mode (vol. Down + power + home) after switching phone off. Then press vol. up, you will see a warning, first and after that comes the downloading screen.
Now make sure drivers are installed correctly, open odin, and now connect phone with usb cable, wait for some time till it shows a yellow box saying COM : ID xxx , something like that and now you can flash relevent files through relevent options. Wait for pass (green) signal and you're done.

That seems crazy, if it shows flight mode, you should also not be able to recieve calls. Seems a problem with the rom. Try wiping cache/dalvick cache /data from cwm/twrp and see if it fixes the bug. If not contact the rom developer or flash another/stock rom and reflash CM 10.1 to see if the problem persists.
Also welcome.

[Q] [Help] S4 Bricked in a Unique Way

Hey guys,
Before anyone rushes into flaming, I just want to note that I've been a member here long enough to know how to search the threads before asking a question that has already been answered. This is the reason for the title. Anywho, here is my situation. I got my hands on a brand new S4, used it stock for a bit, then decided to root it (couldn't help myself.)
Post rooting, everything went great. The ROM (JellyBeans) was running smooth, life was peachy, until I decided to let my flashing addiction get the best of me and I decided to try a new ROM (no offense beanstown, just trying something new.) Anyways, I went into recovery, flashed the new ROM, of course wiping the device 4 times, as has become my habit. Went to turn it on, and the "Custom" screen pops up, then the phone just turns off.
I tried using Odin to return it to stock, but unless I'm using the wrong file, I'm getting the same result. Odin seemingly runs fine, but still no booting. Any ideas? The file I'm using with Odin is VRUAMDK_NoWipe. If there is a different one I should be using, please be kind enough to include a link for me. Thank you.
Just flash the full odin back to stock the version that is still rootable. That should do the trick some times not wiping is the issue.

I mentioned in my original post that I had attempted to use Odin to restore it back to stock. At this point, it doesn't really matter to me whether I can root or not, I'd just like it to turn back on. Shoot, I'd be happy with a boot loop right about now.

reflash your verizon kernel, it will boot, you really didn't need to do odin, guess that is every ones quick fix. and if you are doing odin, after it flashes get into recovery and do a factory reset.

Galaxy firmware won't be installed

Ok a friend S3 started acting up I didn't back up so I lost anything
When I tried to put back the original firmware on the phone using Odin for no reason at all will it be installed. It will just stick on Nand writing in the bottom part of the screen and nothing on tp part of the screen that would usually show FIL, PASS etc.
Next thing with some other firmwares the blue loading bar on the phone will go to basically 100% but nothing will happen on the phone
I did get on 2 firmwares, one just kept booting to the Samsung logo then go in a revolving boot sequence with the animation coming up, the other firmware I got on seems like it belonged to some other phone company and after their boot screen comes up and the Samsung's logo come on the screen it will just stay there.
In both cases the phone was left after installation on both screens for hours with no success.
All I want to do is put back on the 4.12 JB T mobile version enter unlock code and give back to my friend
Can I get some assistance please thanks

When I tried to put back the original firmware on the phone using Odin for no reason at all will it be installed. It will just stick on Nand writing in the bottom part of the screen and nothing on tp part of the screen that would usually show FIL, PASS etc.
Next thing with some other firmwares the blue loading bar on the phone will go to basically 100% but nothing will happen on the phone
I did get on 2 firmwares, one just kept booting to the Samsung logo then go in a revolving boot sequence with the animation coming up, the other firmware I got on seems like it belonged to some other phone company and after their boot screen comes up and the Samsung's logo come on the screen it will just stay there.
In both cases the phone was left after installation on both screens for hours with no success.
All I want to do is put back on the 4.12 JB T mobile version enter unlock code and give back to my friend
Can I get some assistance please thanks

Take out the battery and post the model number here.
Factory reset to get past the forever spinning Samsung logo. The Odin fails are probably due to incorrect firmware.
GT-I9300
I've been trying to get a firmware for that. And how do i get it to the point of factory reset option?
thanks

You should stick to that forum before someone doesn't read this thread and answers with a link to our firmware which will brick your device.
It should be in there somewhere. Did you read the stickies? Like aerowinder said, all tour future questions need to be posted in that forum. We know very little about your device here.
You can find all samsung firmware at samsung-updates.com

Well that forum is specifically for your device. Use what you find in this forum and youre destined for a brick.
If you were to ask this question there you would get answers from people who are familiar with the device you have. Ours is very different.

According to this you are working on an International i9300 S3 I will move your thread to the correct forum as to not confuse other users here, or have someone here give you the wrong links to software that may brick your device.
Thread moved.
The op can post what the problem is here please if its an I9300 .
I9300 Basics read first.
