Did you flash a ROM or use Odin? If I Odin I believe you need to flash a kernel an suppose to factory reset aftee .

Does it get to the boot animation or what? After you hit reboot in recovery, does it do anything?

Okay not sure then. I know if you are rooted with a locked boot loader to get the lock with the word custom under it.

It should be locked again unless you used a ota root keeper. Kind of strange, but I guess you could always just odin the BLK3 ROM so it is completely stock.

Yes it strange, but when you Unlock your boot loader again it should go away

Had the same thing, it would only trip of I had created a nand backup. It will disappear when you unlock bootloader.

What If I just want root

I just want to root my phone... no recovery. No bootloader no ROM. Just root to push stuff to the system/app partition...
Is it possible?

Use nowipe option and you should be fine

Yup. I'm good. Pushed note2 gallery. Working well. Anything else I can do with just being rooted?

Pretty much add whatever mods that don't require an unlocked bootloader.

Use most of the apps that requires root. Please don't try to flash any roms. Titanium backup will be good for backing up your apps

Verizon warranty? Sent phone.

So I bricked my phone and called Verizon they sent me another one and I'm sending the bricked phone back. Will they know that it was bricked and charge me or will they think it was a defective device? Anyone know?

They will probably know but I'm sure they are use to it. They didn't charge me when I bricked mine.

I managed to do the same thing. But I was having actual hardware issues well. Got back to stock using a debrick image.
Found it on a video off of YouTube.
This is the video. My phone, the power button would randomly be "pressed" when I wasnt touching it. Could not stay in download mode for more than a few seconds and phone would not boot after used mobile odin to flash stock. I tried to flash in odin on pc while it was in recovery for a brief few seconds, this really screwed it. Used the debrick image and then was able to get it to stay in download mode. Flash stock rom. Back to stock and ready to be sent back to verizon tomorrow!!
