no problem. Word of advice do not flash anything if you are not sure of the outcomes. I'm a noob, and i usually read a post hundreads of times until im sure what are the procedures. Anyways glad we could help.

Yeah I'm not sure what went on because I've flashed a few ROMS and tweaks on my phone with no problem. I'm not sure what went on with the ported ICS ROM

Do not flash unstable roms. I usually wait for official stable roms and making a nand backup before doing anything.
Thank you all guys. My phone successfully turned on...Thanks again
If you want to use the skyrocket port use DARKSIDE SUPER WIPE! I was having the same problem then i started from scratch, did the super wipe, installed the skyrocket rom and it runs perfect for me.

Good to hear man, glad you got it working again. it would be way too expensive of a paperweight if you were unable to flash it back.
Yeah I was worried I would have to just buy a new one. But thanks to you guys I got it working

Note for future: use the backup feature in recover before flashing things you aren't sure of.
The backup in recovery is referred to as a nandroid if you didn't know already, it will always bring you back to exactly how your phone previously was. This way you won't have to ever ODIN to stock.

Hi All,
I currently have my phone running Slimbean build 4.1 with CWM installed for my recovery. I want to restore my phone back to stock to unlock it, and give Touchwiz a try again. Whats the best way to do this? I remember reading there was some sort of unlock method using from a stock os, can I still do this?
Thanks in advance.
Download odin for your pc and the stock firmware for your carrier. Use odin to flash the firmware. Both of these can be found in the Android development section.

Yep. Sure is as that is the stock 4.1.1
Are you looking to stay on stock and keep root ? IF so just flash the stock rooted .tar in odin.

Actually, I plan on going stock, no root. I don't use root functions that much. Problem is (for me anyways) I can't get a single hotfile link for the firmware to download right now, keeps getting Network Timeout.

Yeah, both on sammoblie (as well as the fourm's here) link to hotfile.
Well, got the phone back to stock, unlock not so much. Oh well, it was worth a try. Touchwiz is kind of nice, glad I went back.
Thanks for the help, I ended up having to use my cell connection to download the file, something OS related on my PC. oh well.

You won't unlock it for free (perma unlock anyway). You'll either have to get the code from your carrier or buy it online.

It might. I never tried it. Although, trying to get it from your carrier is the easiest way. Chat with the support and ask them (can make up some excuses). Could take a few tries.

I may have lied about the girls, but here is my problem. I was on CM 10.1 Nightly 4/17 or something. I tried flashed Ktoonssez kernal....and it bricked my phone. I managed to get download mode but I am not sure what to do. Finals are coming up, and I have some lecture recording so if there is anyway to get everything back. If not I still want to stay on CM 10.1 I cannot enter recovery but before I flashed I made a nandoid back up in TWRP. IF anyone can help me ASAP I would really appreciate it!!!!
Came for the girls, disappointed.
Flash a stock ROM via odin, factory reset from recovery, flash TWRP, restore backup.
PS it's kernEl

Okay I think I scerwed it up even more.
I did the odin think, but now it doesn't even boot. It doesn't charge either, all it does is vibate whenever I try to boot it up. I cant get into Recoevery or Download. I think I hard bricked it, Will I need a Jig?

Yes it did, and then I followed up with CF root. which I think is what messed up because it didnt fail or pass. It just said complete. Will a Jig fix it? It stills vibrates but thats about it.

First of all , are you sure your device is i9300 and you flashed the right file for your device ? or you rooted using CF-Auto Root (Not CF-Root, i heard it doesnt have the Sudden Death fix)

I have an att galaxy note 2. I use straight talk and have been doing so for years with a lot of different models. I have had my note 2 rooted for at least 6 months with no problem. Yesterday I wanted to try a new rom. I downloaded crash rom and flashed it and when I rebooted it I no longer had a a signal and if I try to make a call it says it doesn't detect a sim. I have wiped everything and flashed a different rom and still no detection of sim. Please help!! Thanks!!
never heard of "crash rom"..you probably flashed a rom not meant for this phone..

I would flash to stock with ODIN first to get all your baseband/modem stuff in order. Then i would suggest you check out clean rom. And im kind of obliged to also suggest Xenon-HD

I will check out xenon-hd for sure!! How do I flash back to stock with Odin? Download the newest firmware from Samsung? Oh and clean rom is what I have on here now, but obviously doesn't do much good if I can't use the sim, lol
Is your imei still intact? Check it on your phone's dialer *#06# hopefuly you didn't corrupt your EFS.

Baseband showing unknown for sure and you have that circle thing on top right. Try flash stock rom as stated above and if that doesn't then you will need to restore your efs backup or nand backup if you have one.

Here is round #2 if you get into trouble...g
cant fix it...
Should I just try to sell this and buy a new phone. I have tried a million different ways and cannot get the phone to read the sim card. I can't get Odin to work, every time it just fails. And I can't find a stock att rom anywhere for the note 2. Is this a lost cause at this point? Is it even fixable? thanks

Did you even read the two links above? The rom is there. You have failed to read. I would just flash back to stock and not mess with it until you learn how to read and search. I apologize for sounding harsh but the two posts above you gave you everything including the rom and you have failed to read and search. We are here to help you to help yourself.

First of all, I really appreciate the help and expertise this forum provides!
So back in June I rooted my phone with directions here on xda. I am an extreme noobie (in my 40's) and had no business going down this road lol! I used the Phil Z method and everything actually went pretty smooth. The problem came when I tried to unroot the phone to get the latest software update. I eventually had to take my phone to a schiesty cell phone repair store. just to get the phone working again.
The problem is that I still can't get the latest update. The update fails because there is "not enough space available to download system update." The picture I attached shows the screen in download mode. It seems that not all of the original root was removed.(?)
Does someone here have an idea what I can do?
