Wiped IMEI?
Did you backup IMEI? If not, you're SOL in my knowledge.
Your GF is going to be SUPER MAD

Sounds like the bootloader is still locked. I think IMEI would cause data issues.

EZ-unlock is an app. You run it while the device is booted.
Does the device boot up or it stops at that screen saying not supported.
If you can't boot, then you will want to ODIN back to stock. To get into Odin mode, pull your battery and put back in and then I believe it is volume up and power button, You will need to get the stock Rom to run in Odin. You can probably find this in the dev section.
If you can boot into the Rom, then you should not have to Odin.

Ok, I got into oden and will go from there. Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate you're snappy response and help. You guys are awesome.

Try to flash your phone back to stock with ODIN thats what I did and worked fine.

Yeah, I went on the tutorial and I'm even having issues there. When I'm in Odin the stock rom is not being recognized. Even in the alternate method, the bootloader file is not recognized either. I can only get one of the bootloader files to be recognized and when I run it, it fails! Ugh!

[Q] Someone Help

When trying to upgrade to the sprint stock system update 2.31.651 my phone just goes off comes on and just sits the four hours on the htc white screen...What should I do?
1. Ask Sprint, because this is something to do with the "official" software release
2. Learn to read
3. Remember - this is not your helpdesk
4. Most important - Read (again) and post in the right forum

You're supposed to follow the guide that the fellow above linked to. Section 6 of that guide is very simple to follow. It's on the first page, in the first post. Once you press volume down, home and power buttons you press volume up to go into download mode and use Odin (on your computer) to flash the stock rom.

The files you need from that guide are:
1) Odin
2) Samsung Driver
3) VRALF2 4.0.4, all saved to your computer.
Just follow the directions afterward. That's essentially all you need and the guide is the best way to return you to stock.

Lol looks like you're running a newer firmware than what's officially available from Verizon. You've installed the JB leaked stock firmware whereas ICS is what it's supposed to have. The VRALF2 4.0.4 file I told you to download is what's officially stock.
Did you use Odin to install this? If so, just use the VRALF2 file and you're fine.

Once you download it, it should already end with ".tar" or ".tar.md5" You do not unzip the file. The next step is to launch Odin and follow those same steps from the guide.

You might have a bad download. You should download again.

I believe that's because of the: "(1)" just before the ".tar.md5" If you remove (1) from the file name then I'm sure it will verify the md5 in that same box and allow you to go on.

[Q] {q} HELP! MORON ATTACK! This thing is like a soap opera

So, yesterday, I had a perfectly functioning, stock 4.1.1/rooted unit.
Got a little frisky and decided to try out Liquid Smooth. Flashed that through recovery (it's a 4.2.1 Beta 2) but forgot to do the bootlocker.
The latest LS has a Bluetooth sound problem that's pretty bad. So, I thought I'd switch over to CM10.1, their 4.2.1 effort.
Well, without the bootlocker in place, you can pretty much guess how that worked out.
So now, I've odin'ed a variety of roms and so forth; no clue what happened to my backup.
My main focus has been what I call the dunce-cap routine, of going back to stock and starting over.
The problem? I did that and now I'm stuck in roaming mode and my calls don't work.
I'm dead without this phone (considering how long I've been working on this, since 8 pm or so yesterday except for a couple of hours of sleep, I might be dead, period.) and I've got to have one functioning. It's so bad that I'm considering just trashing it and buying another one, even thought THAT would hurt.
Almost everything I try winds up either getting the yellow triangle or the odin fail.
Now, thanks to some help I've gotten here that focused me into understanding this total screw up is MY fault completely, I believe I know what has to be done.
The plan was to go back to stock, root and DO THE DAMNED BOOTLOCKER, then go back into CM10.1 and make some changes in subscribing to CDMA or something (don't have that in front of me this second) to get the phone part of the phone operational but I can't get there.
In the guide here I have completed step 1, flashing the factory image.
The next step is blowing me up. I have used the file I have for the Recovery: CWM6023TouchVZW.tar.md5.tar, maybe 4 times.
NOW when I try it, odin fails and the phone tells me "secure check fail : recovery."
And help would be appreciated. Before I feed this thing to my Doberman Cavalier Spaniel. Or something.

Yup. Completely stock rom is installed. The next step was installing the recovery... and using a file that I had used before, that's where I'm running into the problem of the secure check fail.
That very file HAS worked before, 3 or 4 times with no problem.
Why does the file end in ".tar.md5.tar"? It's supposed to end in ".tar.md5" Since owning this phone, I've never seen a file with ".tar" twice in the file name.

Is there anything I've overlooked? Anything else I need to do?
And do I do the factory reset/wipe dalvik and the rest before, or after?
I presume I have to use ezlock to unlock the bootloader again after this, right?
No, you still need to unlock bootloader and backup your IMEI. You may want to do quite a bit of reading, CM 10 is not as easy to fix some of the potential problems that you could possibly encounter.
I am not hating on them, but don't think it is as simple as one of the TW ROMS.

When I try this method to back up the IMEI it doesn't do anything after entering the *#7284# and if I hit the phone, it just sends me to a Verizon intercept operator.

“System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone.” Me

I went to make a backup and ROM Manager said there was a new version of Recovery (ended in .8). I accepted and selected the Touch version. When I then tried to make a backup, the phone rebooted and I got this massage:
System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone.
Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help
Volume up/home/power just boots to this message every time. So does Volume down/home/power. There is no way to restore a backup or use the phone in any way. I have been doing this since the days of the OG Droid, but I am lost now. Please help.
sounds like you didnt unlock your booloader
Yes it does, but it has been unlocked for a long time, and I don't think I lost the unlock with tthe 4.1.2 update. How can I unlock the bootloader without being able to start the phone?

Are you sure? Make sure you hold down Volume Down + Home for a few seconds before also hitting the Power button. I saw that same message yesterday when going back to stock and I was still able to boot into recovery/download mode. Also make sure your device is completely powered down (and not plugged in/charging)
deleted
THAT DID IT! I held volume down/home for a few seconds and then held power. The phone booted to a mode I had not seen before (recovery/download as you said?) and I said cancel and the phone booted!
I ran EZ-Unlock to unlock the boot loader. I tried several apps that require superuser permissions and they were granted it and run fine. So I assume I am still rooted, right?
Thanks so much for your help.
sounds like you should be good to go. one thing you should should consider doing is backing your IMEI if you havent already.

First, some background info is needed.
1) What did you do to your phone?
2) You have no success booting into Download mode?
3) Did you flash something in recovery? If so, what is the file name of the file you flashed?
Edit: Disregard #2, apparently I can't read. Are you using the Samsung OEM cable? Have you tried using a different USB port? Different computer?

I just noticed the person you helped before me had a galaxy s3 and mine is a note 2 I605.
I opened the ROM manager app and it said something about allowing other devices to text from your same #.
I really hope this helps to figure this out. I'm going to try a different computer now.

You...have a Note 2? Why are you commenting in the Verizon GSIII forum bud? You have to try either your respective Note 2 carrier forum (i605 = Verizon Note 2 right?) or the international Note 2 forums. No one here can help you. Create a new thread in the Q/A section of the proper phone forum you need and you will receive relevant help.

So far flashed HyperDrive, now AOKP, no matter what I do I get a yellow triangle and a warning.
I reflash stock
relfash VARLEC bootchain
reflash CWM
and try again.
No matter what options, settings, or ROM, I keep getting softbricked! ANY IDEAS?!>!

After flashing CWM, you need to unlock the bootloader. You should be flashing a vrale6 bootloader zip OR using EZ Unlock v1.2 to unlock.

That means your Bootloader is not Unlocked. Make sure you use ez unlock 1.2 when unlocking. You can verify it's unlocked when you turn on the phone, and you see the word Samsung flash for a split second.

Blk3 Odin file and locking bootloader

Kind of a dumb question but I was wondering if I lock my bootloader (using ez unlock) and flash the Odin file in the subject line isn't it the same as using the ics file that automatically locks your bootloader? I need to return my phone to stock and have the blk3 file downloaded from previous adventures. Anyway, I'm on Cleanrom. Thanks for any help.

Okay, don't do that then hit reboot. It did lock my bootloader but when I rebooted the triangle of death appeared. Anyway, all is well and my phone is back to stock. I would suggest not doing it this way :silly:

Lol well that's the expected result when you lock the bootloader via EZ Unlock then reboot. You're supposed to Odin flash next and the yellow triangle warning let's you know, as a user, to Odin flash back to stock. That's perfectly normal.

Yeah, hindsite is always 20/20. That was really freaking stupid. Duh, locking bootloader then rebooting tells the "system" the software is unauthorized. Would have been okay if I locked and booted directly into odin. Glad I made you lol

I don't know why this is but my phone on stock is fast as hell. Fresh Odin install? I hate to say this but it's way faster than it was running a rom. All bloat is installed and enabled.

Yea, that doesn't surprise me haha when I first got this phone I was flat out shocked about the speed coming from a Droid Incredible. I would say lighter roms like Cleanrom and Bone Stock would keep it quick. We are dealing with unofficial software after all. I prefer the rooted/unlocked lifestyle way too much to go back except to upgrade my partitions with OTA's though.
