NP. Also, I should have said this in my first reply, you'll need Odin 1.85.

You won't even know if you don't try right? Try first. If it's still soft brick there are many developers and users here that are more senior than me you can request help from them.
After all this is a forum. Anybody can help anybody. So don't be afraid to try and ask.
I was like you when first time helding android. But after some experience and some asking you will all know it by yourself. If you don't try you will never can know the result man.

Try doing this
If you flashed the stock ROM correctly , now you should to flash CWM by arco via odin
this is the thread:
[RECOVERY] ClockworkMod v6.0.1.9
How to flash CWM
1- click on the OPS-Button and select the Ancora.ops file.
2- Click on the One Package-Button and select the downloaded MD5-file.
notes: mark the option: One Package, Protect OPS, Auto Reboot
unmark the option: Reset Time (Sec)
then try to get into CWM to (((wipe data/reset)))
I tested it when I was on boot loop and worked
I hope It works with you
Sorry for my bad English

Just got my SGH-T999

I've been researching rooting and installing CWM for awhile on this phone and I think I have it figured out, just let me know if I am out of line.
I found a pre-rooted ODIN image of jellybean from root66. I'm thinking of flashing that first to get root access, then download rom manager and flash CWM recovery.
Just want to make sure I don't brick this expensive phone.

[Q] Missing instructions? Stuck with Heimdall

I want to flash a custom rom on my Note 2 from bell mobility.
I'm following steps from wiki called How To Install CyanogenMod Android for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE ("t0lte")
When I type heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img --no-reboot, it gives me a message "heimdall is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
What am I doing wrong?
First of all what is your model number? Are you rooted? Custom recovery?

I'm not rooted. I'm following the steps in "Installing a custom recovery on Galaxy Note 2 LTE"
Samsung devices come with a unique boot mode called Download Mode which is very similar to Fastboot Mode on some devices with unlocked bootloaders. Heimdall is a cross-platform, open source tool for interfacing with Download Mode on Samsung devices. The preferred method of installing a custom recovery is through this boot mode. Rooting the stock firmware is neither recommended nor necessary.

Model number is SGH-i317M. M simply means Bell Mobility, they always add "M" at the end. Otherwise it's the same, no difference.

Thank you but this one is using odin I think. I heard that Heimdall is better. If you go to the cyanogenmod website and select Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE ("t0lte"), then you can click "How To Install CyanogenMod Android for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE ("t0lte")" and it has the instuctions. This is the part I'm having a problem with. This is the guide they provide for the cyanogenmod, so it's kind of "official" and that's why I want to use it. Also when I'm stuck at something I want to figure it out instead of jumping from one thing to another. I don't understand why it's not working I'm following all the instructions. I'm wondering if anyone used the method I'm trying to use.
Have you installed Heimdall on your mac computer? You have to install it on your computer, NOT on your phone..
Then you place your phone in download mode, and run the heimdall command from your Mac..
AND, if instruction on XDA appear "too sophisticated" for you, then you are NOT ready to root your phone, trust me on this one..
But hey, its your phone, so go crazy....

There's nothing more official about this method than any of the others suggested. And wade I'd right, if the other methods are too sophisticated for you then you aren't ready for this.

Hahaha:good: It's just a matter of following steps. And from reading the guide I don't need to root my phone. I like when everything is complete and clear. After so many years I though it would become simpler to install a rom, not more complicated.
I have a PC, not a Mac. But how do I install it on my computer? It doesn't say neither how nor that I need to in the instructions.

They look sophisticated, but I can still do them. I flashed roms with odin on my galaxy s 2. However I already started with something so that's how I want to finish it. Also the creator of the rom provides instructions how to install his rom so that's why I want to do it that way.
Heimdall is for mac's not pc's, so if you want to install ANY custom rom on your phone, you need to be able to use Odin
and, you MUST root your phone to install Cyanogen mod or any custom rom, period, no matter what you might have read..

Don't be so negative. Isn't cyanogenmod the best rom out there for android? In that case I thought the best way to install it is to follow the directions the creators of this rom give you.

Root it man,there is nothing to fear. If you doing it exactly how it writen in instructions,there is nothing to worry about. just don`t plug off your phone and let it complete. It`s last ~ 10 sec,and you`ll be good
I don`t think something whould happen,since a lot of us done it and we are happy rooted users

No man, you lose it when you flash official samsung rom, then your device will be able to get OTA updates from samsung. So called " Unroot "

Please help me! Phone wont boot up and restoring in twrp fails

I was trying to install viper4android and it got out of hand. i decided to factory reset then restore a backup i had made earlier, when i try to do this it says it failed and then It asks me if i want to install supersu but i already have it installed so i put no. Also when i try to reboot it says Set Warranty Bit: kernel on the top right. What can i do? everytime i try to reboot it gets stuck there. Also on a possibly unrelated note the backup was compressed when i made it, do i need to decompress the file?

Get into download mode and use odin. You will be fine.
Thanks guys, this is my first Samsung phone it is very different from htc phones. So once the file is done downloading do i put the file in the AP slot and flash via odin?
Also will i need root again?

Yes, you will need to root again. Once you flash, you will be back stock as if you just got from store.

Should be good to go. Just put in download mode (as looneytunes said earlier), connect device as well as inserting tar file in correct slot. Should work just fine. Please post back with results. Just want to make sure your good.

It's kinda really hard to permanently brick these phones. As long as you can get to download mode you can usually get back with odin.
