I had attempted to reflash my At&T Galaxy Note 2 I1317 to a previous ROM from 4.4.2 or whatever the most current firmware is, and did not know that the firmware would prevent this, I've attempted loading several different ROMs through Odin and I was only able to find one that worked and would pass on Odin, and samsung kies would not register the phone to restore or recover it, but now when I start the phone it goes to the final samsung logo right before the phone would be useable and stays there, I've tried looking everywhere I could and being new to this i have honestly little idea what i need to do, but if I can even get the phone back to the most recent firmware and working I would be beyond satisfied what should I do?
Hi,
First I'm going to suggest you read through the guides and tutorials that are linked in this thread.
> AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II > AT&T Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > ***STICKY THREAD (All Sticky Threads Here)***
Read them well and read them twice. I say this because you honestly don't seem to understand what different things are for or how to use them. For example, Odin is for flashing official firmware and custom recovery mostly, not for roms. And kies won't work as soon as you modified your device. Also, Odin won't work if Kies is running on you pc. These are important things to understand, or you could destroy your device.
Not lecturing you... Just trying to help. Reading all the guides and tutorials will give you the knowledge to do this stuff far safer.
K... That said, for help, if you still need it after the thread above, and future questions on this device.... You can ask here,

Good luck! ?
Thank you. Thread closed.

Hi and thanks for your help,
I am a newbie to this rooting thing, have done a lot of research. I am upgrading my phone which has allowed me to experiment with my former phone: Samsung Note 2, SCH-1605, Android V 4.4.2 (Verizon) and started playing with rooting. I have used Odin 3.07 to attempt to root the phone, but it fails each time at the NAND Write function. There are a lot of threads on this and one suggestion is to use a higher version of Odin. I see 3.09 is available but the button options are different. Specifically, in 3.07, the button PDF is supposed to be used. There is no such button in 3.09. Fortunately, it reboots fine so I am not even soft-bricked on this phone. But I WOULD like to experiment with it.
Is Odin specific to each phone? And, is there a solution for this problem? I have no KIES running or even installed.
Any counsel would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Pradhan

Ok. So i read the introduction sticky thread on the galaxy s4 (verizon) and none of it really makes much sense. Im trying to learn how to root my phone and do things with it obviously. I have installed different launchers on my phone and i work in retail with phones so i understand the basics, not a complete noob here ^.^ but the whole rooting/jailbreaking thing is a new turf im unfamiliar with but i would like to dip a toe into the field. anyone who can explain a good before rooting lesson would be very helpful.

Hey Good day,
I am requesting some help from anyone who may have experienced or knows how to resolve this issue.
I have been using the back to stock firmware on my AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 2 until yesterday the ota AT&T update installed and from since then the phone will not boot past the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 logo. I can get into download mode but cant get into the stock recovery mode or any recovery mode and i have tried reflashing the back to stock firmware again without any change.
Can anyone give me any advice on how to go forward..... I would hate to think my device is bricked just like that.
I appreciate your time and efforts in advance.
Cheers to you ALL.

Hey,
I recently got an android phone, the at&t galaxy S3 (with 4G LTE, not sure if this matters). And after originally rooting it with towel root, i found that there was some apps that weren't working properly. So being the idiot I am I decided to restore to factory settings from the boot menu. However it didn't fix everything and was wondering if i could completely start fresh?
Hello. Yes you can. I would advice doing an ODIN back to Factory Fresh. Fortunately there is a Forum for your device. The links below should provide you with all the information needed to accomplish this. Best of luck .

Hi,
I will first link you to your device section. You should read the top threads in the general and Q&A sections. Read any guides or info threads you find. You seem to be very unfamiliar with this stuff. Knowledge is power doing this stuff.... And misunderstanding can lead to very bad problems.

And to ask for help with your issue, or any other questions you eventually have, here is where to ask,
