[SOLVED] Systematic reboots but can get in with adb. Almost there!

How it started:
Okay, so I had some troubles getting botbrew (experimental) to install it's subcomponents so I had the bright idea to start fresh by:
Code:
# rm -rf /data/botbrew*
...without thoroughly checking the contents of the folder.
I later figured there were some symlinks to critical system files (or vise versa) within that directory because almost immediately multiple programs force closed such as the Android panel and there were FC windows on top of each other. *facepalm*
I tried to connect via adb and got this:
Code:
$ ./adblinux shell
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
Rebooting leads to a persistent Samsung logo with adb response same as above. I can get into recovery mode though I'm not sure what, if anything, can be done in it to fix /system/.
I read elsewhere that the sh path is hardcoded:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877618
Luckily I have a "somewhat working" fallback device. However, is there any way to restore these files manually? There should still be a couple different copies of busybox on the device so... hopefully they could be leveraged to get it going again.
The first thing I did after seeing the failed adb connection was attempt to flash with several different stock roms using Odin, and then Heimdall for good measure, but they all failed with a junk message just prior to starting the flash (see attached example screenshot) while phone is in download mode.

Update - Some Success.
I tried heimdall through the command line instead of the java GUI while specifying a PIT file and got a step further (yes!):
Code:
$ sudo heimdall flash --pit infuse.pit --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs

After it rebooted, I was able to shell in with adb! I notice that /system/bin/sh does exist now, /sdcard is not mounted and the device now reboots systematically in a short period of time.
Running su gets:

Any suggestions going forward?

[Q] Verizon GNote 2 Help with Casual

Have tried this twice. Stock Galaxy Note 2 on Verizon, was rooted, did full unroot with SuperSU before this whole process. Running Windows 7 Home Premium x64. Submitted to pastebin, searched forums, but to no avail. Phone's still working, just failed unlock. Here's the log (with donation URLs removed because I'm pre-10 posts):

I'm getting this same exact error. Have tried everything suggested and everything I could come up with to resolve it. Spent tons of time googling around looking for answers and no luck. Anybody have any ideas?
