Everything went fine and I was able to get all the way through the Flashing process and Odin said that it passed. However my phone never booted back up.

I have tried everything I can think to try and have searched the forums hoping to find some magic button combination or anything that may let me get this thing back into a mode I can flash back to stock.
Any Ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I also was curious if the links provided led me to the correct files.

I was thinking about trying the same process, but then I saw your post. Any luck figuring out what happened or how to fix it?

I just went through this as you can see from here
From this thread i downloaded the AT&T stock Tar
then from this thread i downloaded Odin 3.07
i already had adb/samsung drives installed on my computer...
disabled my firewall, and anti virus.
ran a "adb devices" to make sure i could see my phone
and from there just extracted the image and ODIN'd it (pda - dont click anything!) read second link..
worked like a charm after i used a USB port on the back of my computer

AOk so I was attempting to root my Sisters gs3 (us, T-mobile) and I bricked it but luckily I still can unbreakable it. I'm currently downloading the firmware file for my specific device so using Odin all will be fine but I recently found out that Samsung devices such as the Samsung Galaxy s 3 keeps track of how many times you flash or even root the device. Now I still want my sis to have her warranty so I can easily unroot her s3 is there a way reset the binary counter with out having to knock the bootloader?

TriangleAway. Play Store. Buy it.
Will do thanks.

+1 on TriangleAway. it is very effective piece of script and money well spent.
here is my suggestion based on my experience.
after you run TriangleAway, go into download mode. you will see something like this;
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-T999
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No (If you didn't run TriangleAway, you will see this as "Yes [# Count] ")
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
in order to completely unroot and return for warrenty,
1) Run TriangleAway to reset Binary counter to "0"
2) Flash Official firmware for your S3 via Odin (this will reset your current Binary to "Official" instead of "Custom"
3) go into stock recovery (official stock firmware recovery) and do Factory reset and wipe Cache. (this will reset your system status to "Official" instead of "Custom"
easy as 1,2,3... I hope this help..

For about the same price as the Triangle away you can buy a JIG on eBay for less than $3.00 shipped.
That not only put's the phone into download mode but as soon as you are in download mode
you can unplug it and restart the phone and there will be no more triangle.
With the jig there is no need to install any apps of any kind.

USB jig doesn't reset the counter on the s3. Triangle away is the best option. It's free on xda. But supporting the developer is definitely worth doing.
Take it back to T-Mobile. Play dumb. Make sure everything is back to stock of course. If the phone won't turn on at all and you're sure its not a battery, even better. They will overnight a new phone to you. Done and done. No hassling with a jig. Just sleep and wake up and your phone will drop out of the sky via FedEx.
+Cool story, bro!

Of course it resets the binary counter, I have had a jig for over 3 years now.
I have a S3 and had it for over a year now and nothing is as easy as using
a jig for resetting the counter or just getting the phone into download mode.

Can someone please help me!!!!! I received a new Note 2 from Tmobile and have to return my other one. I rooted it and I used triangle away but when I look it still says I have 1 count and custom. I trianged away again then I unrooted the phone and went to odin mode and flashed back to stock. I had to go through all the updates to make it current. I check the binary counter and it said 0 count and official. So I unmounted my sd card and removed it and did a factory reset to clear all my phone contacts and info. Well when I did that my phone got stuck in boot load. I took the battery out and pushed the home volume down and power buttons. I get a binary count of one and custom. What did I do wrong? I can't afford to pay $150.00 for this phone. How do I keep the binary count to 0 and official?

I've done my fair share of searching and I couldn't come up with much so I strongly believe I have a unique problem. I hope someone can point me in the right direction
Im have a rooted GS3 747 running Paranoid Android. A couple days ago the phone wouldn't charge. I tried different cables and batteries and after some testing with other GS3's I realized that my phone's charging port was broken. As a result I couldn't even connect my phone to the computer to unroot it with odin. I want to unroot so I can send in the phone for repair under warranty. So I downloaded mobile odin pro and proceeded to unroot my phone. I copied the original rogers rom to the external sd, followed the instructions and started the process. Everything looked like it was going fine until I got stuck on the samsung screen. Did some more research and learned that I had to do a factory data restart by booting into recovery mode. Did that. By now I'm feeling pretty good about all this. I followed the instructions all the way and I'm thinking that I'm gonna get a stock phone shortly. Wrong! The phone was still stuck on the samsung screen.
Now since I cant connect my phone to the PC cuz the charging port is broken I dont know what to do. I would have just flashed Clockwork Mod like I did when I first rooted and started all over but I cant.
If no one has a solution then Im just thinking of sending it in as is. Maybe they wont be able to see that the phone is rooted since they wont be able to connect it their PC without swapping out the motherboard to fix the problem.
I should add that I went to a repair store to try and fix it and they told me that the only way would be swap out your mobo.

You will want to be sure that your flash counter says 0. This can be found by entering download mode (vol down, home, power) and you will see "custom binary count". that is how they will tell that you have rooted. Have you entered recovery and done a factory reset to get past the boot screen? If you can full wipe/ factory reset and get back into Android, I recommend you use "triangle away" app to clear your flash counter.

I entered download mode and dont see flash counter anywhere. I got the warning screen were you have the option to restart or download.
Ya I entered recovery and did a factory reset but nothing. Really cant do anything with charging port broken.
I sent it in anyways for repairs. Hopefully they just replace it

Issue
1. Phone won’t boot beyond the Samsung Logo.
2. It won’t boot into recovery (download mode works).
3. Can flash rom using Odin but phone still won't boot.
Type of Phone
Type: AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Model: i317
Ownership: Bought in Nov 2012 brand new. Warranty is up but it is insured through AT&T.
History: Rooted and then un-rooted and returned to stock in January 2014.
Actions leading up to Issue
Updated to Samsung’s newest firmware Android 4.3 but didn’t like it. I rooted my phone and tried a custom rom but wasn’t happy. Un-rooted by flashing original stock rom via Odin 3.07. Worked great and I was back in business. But then the phone went through an update and never booted back up.
Detail
I’ve rooted all my other phones but never felt the need to root this one until I updated to Samsung’s new Android 4.3. I wasn’t happy with the decreased battery life and poor performance. So I used the method at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004650 to root my phone using “root66_ATT_I317UCALJ2.tar.md5” with Odin 3.07 and it worked. I then tried a custom Cyanogen Mod rom but it still left something to be desired.
After more research I flashed the original stock rom “KIES_HOME_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_215287_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5” via Odin 3.07 and my phone worked beautifully, at least for a day. Then I started getting the AT&T update window for Android 4.3 and the only way to get rid of it was to pull my battery. It was happening so much that I couldn’t even make a phone call. Out of pure frustration I decided to accept the update.
After the update installed it rebooted and never made it past the Samsung logo. So I figured I would just go into recovery and perform a factory reset as well as wipe the cache. The problem here is that it won’t boot into recovery. Only download mode works. I’m also seeing a red LED which I’ve read is a sign of SDS.
I’ve tried re-flashing the original stock rom again. Every time I do I get the green “Pass” display but my phone still won’t boot. The binary count is now at 21 since I’ve tried flashing so many times. I’ve been working on this and researching for 3 weeks. I’ve never had an issue that I couldn’t resolve when it comes to any of my past phones but this is beyond my skill or understanding. I also tried Samsung keys but it says my device is not supported.
Short of digging a hole in my back yard and burying it, is there anything I can do to fix this?
(Note) My wife has the same phone and also didn’t like the update so I flashed the same original stock rom to her phone via Odin and it has been working just fine. Only difference is I never rooted hers. I should have gone that route with mine.
Have you tried flashing, via Odin, just a custom recovery?
If that works, you may be able to follow this guide, starting at post #2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618447
If that doesn't work, it is possible you have an emmc issue.... Your symptoms are similar to what others have reported here recently. You might be able to get a repair covered if you can get them to look past the custom counter ... You are running stock firmware... Maybe kies tripped the counter... Stranger things have happened...

Here's the link to TWRP (you want the Odin link toward the bottom):
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/124
Here's the direct link to the latest philz cwm (you want the md5 file):
http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/t0lteatt
I prefer philz, but you will likely need TWRP to follow the dicksteele guide. You should also track down a CWM flashable recovery package for MH3 recovery to flash back should you need to return the phone for repairs. You can get this by following the i317 link in my sig.
If flashing this in Odin doesn't work that would tend to support the emmc fail scenario. (i.e. you flash it, Odin behaves as if it flashed ok, you power off, attempt to boot recovery with home-VolUp-power and it still doesn't boot). If it does boot recovery, you can try the guide as I mentioned before. Good luck!

I tried each of those just now and they both flashed fine however there is no change. I guess before I break out the shovel I'll try to see if AT&T will fix it since I do pay for the insurance. Thanks for the help that was good stuff. I wish it could have worked.

then try one of the official odin package or this:http://d-h.st/DGZ
So, there appear to be many people who see this update as a bad joke. Like me.
I had a thread a couple days ago about how to kill the notification from att
Without root. Nothing can be done as far as ive heard/seen. Im a bit confused
About needing a battery pull to remove pp note, I have been just reboot and it
Goes away until next data use/net access. When my 8 hrs is up I turn data on
(Data off as 8hrs expires) and immediately get note and then I hit home- get
another 8 hrs. Im sorry to hear they wore you down with the note- im going to
fight and resist for the duration. And keep stock. Its a game now!

You flashed LJ2 Stock ROM from ODIN?
And you are back to the Samsung Logo that flashing/pulsing blue???
If so .....
Pull the battery and let the phone sit for a few seconds, pop the battery in and boot into stock recovery (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER) and do a FACTORY RESET then reboot.
I had to do the same thing an hour ago....

I can't believed it worked. Flashed this and suddenly I have recovery. Then I re-flashed the original stock rom, did a reset and wiped the cache and I'm back up and running. Brilliant I say. Genius! Thank you for the great post and thanks everyone for your help. Seems like there should be a like button or something so that you get credit but I don't see one. This was my first time ever posting on any forum so I'm a little ignorant.

Glad you're back among the living.
This will get you back to 4.1.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49616718&postcount=2
EDIT:
I just did this and it worked perfectly .....
I'm actually doing that step right now also. I flashed back to stock testing the ATT update server.
EDIT #2:
At this step when the phone reboots the script will run. When it completes you want to boot to system. The next prompt will be do you want to install ROOT. If you do the swipe it will install ROOT, there is a DO NOT INSTALL button on the middle of the screen. Just a heads up, don't know if you are turning your phone back in or not now.
- Second step is:
You will need to download TWRP 2.6.3.1 and flash it in ODIN.
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0lt...lteatt.img.tar
This is necessary for an openrecovery script to run that is stored in the /cache directory from the update.
- Put your Note 2 in Download Mode.
- Open ODIN, put openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0lteatt.img.tar in PDA slot. Click Start and let the phone reset.
- Your phone will reboot in TWRP. If not, pull battery and enter recovery mode boot into TWRP recovery (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER). The script will run by itself.
sgh-i317 EFS seems like its gone
could anybody help me out with my note 2. ive tried just about everything i can think of. im getting pretty desperate. i can get everything to work fine (recovery,download mode,) but something is keeping it from booting up to the main screen, it will just hand at the boot animation, or the att logo. in twrp it tells me failed to mount efs. ive looked around in the file folders and its like it got wiped out? im not sure how though. could that be why its not booting up?
any ideas??
I successfully rooted my Note 3 (tmobile) and tried several roms over the past few weeks. The problem I now have started with the last one i tried. I inadvertently mistook a rom for one that was stock and it unrooted it, adding knox back and undid all my hard work.
I started over and for some reason when I retraced my steps, the phone will only go into download mode and when it reboots, the boot screen comes on and then turns back off. I've used ODIN 3.09 with CF-Auto-Root, and tried the De la Vega root, and it all does the same thing. Sometimes I get the red android screen that makes it seem like it is rooted, but when it reboots "after 10 seconds", the screen goes black and never turns back on. I'd be happy with starting over again and trying from scratch, unless there is another way. If anyone could help me I would be eternally grateful.
I'm willing to do anything, whatever it takes, if anyone has the guidance and insight on what is going on here.
Thanks,

Unfortunately I cannot help you. Just subscribing for info, knowledge is power and I am preparing to root and ROM my new Note 3. Best of luck with your dilemma.
What did you flash that you believe caused this ?
ok so here's the method that i always have used to gain root.
It's very simple and effective.
keep in mind this will trip your knox to 0x1 if you even care!
all you have to do is download the latest twrp or philz recovery (I recommend twrp - available in the tmo n3 original development section) and flash the .img.tar file in odin.
that will give you a custom recovery.
Then what you need to do is download the latest supersu.zip file and place it on your sd card or just dl it right on your phone.
then reboot to recovery (power off device and simultaneously hold the volume up, home button and power button.) you will see in blue font in the top left of the screen "recovery booting".
then in twrp flash the supersu.zip
bam you have root!!!
remember to read and search if you plan on any future flashing to be safe!
I recommend you flash a clean stock NE6 with ODIN. Then, you can root with Towelroot with just one click. It's that simple. It's worked for me when I lost root trying to update to latest build. Then you can upgrade using Mobile Odin Pro and using the "inject" root feature.

Breaks enterprise security. If you need it for work triggering knox breaks it and is unreversible. Its also permanently flags the device warranty as voided.
