You do have a sprint S3 correct?
What file did you originally flash?
For reference the other threads on this specific matter: First thread and Second Thread
my phone wouldn't boot up for some reason so I tried flashing the shiny kitkat 4.4 rom, and it said failed to flash in TWRP
This is the 2nd phone that this has happened to where I have no ROM, what do I do? And don't tell me "oh you should have done a backup !!11"
Also I put in odin mode like some people say, how do you use it? It says "downloading.....do not turn off target !!"
Also I am getting an error when trying to adp push a file: Says "error: device not found" but under device manager it says "google galaxy nexus bootloader interface"
Take it easy and use the toolkit to return to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614827
Not all kitkat-alpha roms include recovery and/or correct recovery images. Please read all the first post of the rom beforehand. It should say what works and what is borked.
If you need further help, please keep posting here.
Good Luck!

I have never had your issue before but I am hoping I'm leading you in the right direction I would Google how to reset back to stock there's a lot of vids on it on YouTube but here's what I think would fix your problem
Sounds like you need to download a factory image go into download mode plug it into Odin and use the factory image to reset it back to normal, word of advise, just root it and learn about ROMs 4.3 is over rated in my opinion 4.4.2 is the newest we have on the aosp side and it is awesome, I highly recommend beanstalk 4.4.2
Also I found this in another post not sure if it applies to you but I'm sure someone else can confirm or deny
"If you update to 4.3...you WILL have a locked bootloader...and currently no good way to root..
Additionally....your KNOX flag will trip and your warranty is toast...if you attempt to root...( as of today, and until the devs can fix Sammy's latest patch)...
Beyond that...you can never go back to 4.1.2 again...
Stay on a 4.1.2 bootloader without KNOX and then you can flash every rom we have along with a full return to stock if you want...
An update to 4.3 will stop any means of going back."

No I have done a ton of research and can't figure it out, I feel like i've tried everything. I keep trying to go to stock rom, used Keis, used Odin, Used Heindal, flashed stock recovery roms, flashed stock combo roms, have like 12 counts of custom binary downloads and KNOC WARRANTY VOID : 1 and in download mode in red at the top it says in Odin Mode and then Red in the bottom after it says (in Gray) KNox warranty void: 1 and
AP SWREV A2 it then says in red again unsupported version under those....
Roms? You need a stock image for it to work totally different

You did the battery pull part as well? I think the trick is to have your fingers on the buttons first then slide the battery back in to force the recovery but until I try it myself I don't know for sure.

Did that right.
I have the same issue..... Had 4.3 ota.... Flashed cwm thru odin. Restarted the phone, it will not boot past the "samsung galaxy note 2" screen. Flashed stock rom thru odin, still stuck at the samsung note 2 screen. I can get into download mode with no issues whatsoever. I cannot get into recovery mode, whether stock or cwm. Nothing. Can I flash another 4.3 or 4.4 rom thru odin? I just need my phone working again..... thanks gentlemen

HOW-TO Downgrade from 4.3 OFFICIAL MK6 to LJ2 4.1.1
Do this it works. If it does get stuck on the second Samsung logo pull the battery,
Boot into Stock recovery, and do a factory reset.
It will boot the 4.1.1 stock ROM but it will have the MK6 bootloader. You can flash TWRP or CWM thru ODIN and flash other ROMs. 4.3 ROMs is all I have tried.
I've just spent hours doing this. It's almost impossible to brick this phone. If you do brick it you have done something really really fricking stupid.
I've done a lot of stupid ****, and I have always brought it back to life.

Yup! Fricking stupid------like upgrading from 4.3 to 4.4.1, then in recovery factory reset, and in ODIN trying to get back to 4.1.1 How stupid is that??? If YOU have done this, would you be able to reboot into recovery????? Try it.........
You probably did something wrong. Im the OP of the How to downgrade 4.3 MK6 to LJ2 and Ive done it many time over.
This is the problem i cant get into recovery mode only download, I flashed the firmware from sammobile and did all the steps but it literally wont let me into recovery to wipe the data, I'm stuck on the first samsung Galaxy Note II screen
Have you guys tried to flash cwm or twrp after flashing 4.1.1? Since all you can get into is dl mode try flashing a custom recovery them attempt the battery pull/recovery step.

I personally have done it five times in the last two days. Plus ODIN'd MA4.
Actually I've done it the correct way. I have no idea what you are referring to in your post.
From a non-bootable 4.3 OTA, because I installed a mod from the theme/apps section, I flashed the LJ2 in ODIN. It did not boot. I reread the OP and saw that if it didn't boot, do a factory reset.
I flashed it again in ODIN, probably did not need to, it hung.
I pulled battery, did the power/home/up and got to stock recovery. Factory reset it boots.
Testing different scenarios I got boot loops, reflashed LJ2 and did same procedure.
I found out later from Zen all I had to do was flash a recovery and it would fix the error saying I have an error in my firmware, I need to recover using Kies. There was no need for that.
I understand you all can't get to recovery try flashing a custom recovery from ODIN like suggested above.

I can honestly say that I will be done trying to help you with this. What YOU are not getting is we are trying to help YOU fix YOUR mistake.
I understand it is frustrating when you hit a snag that leaves your phone in soft brick form but as EVERY OP states you are doing these things AT YOUR OWN RISK. Getting angry and impatient with those that are trying to help will get you nowhere fast.
Good luck fixing your phone and I really hope you get this figured out.

I'm getting from every post I have read that you've done in multiple threads, you don't desire any help.
That's what I get.
EDIT : Damn Jspex beat me to it.
EDIT 2: OP, I'll PM you and give you my contact info and see if we can get you going.
As to not let one person ruin the OPs chances of fixing things here is a good way to get into recovery that does take a little know how. Its always good to know the basics of adb anyway when modding android devices.

If your device is not being recognized try a different USB port.
Or from the command prompt;
type "adb kill-server"
then type "adb devices", adb will restart on port 5307.

Tried to go from 4.4.2 back to stock and it errored now I'm bricked and Odin keeps failing been searching and everything I find doesn't help. What now?

I can get it up and running with the file from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53353625
Now I can do 4.4.2, but i cant seem to go back down to 4.1 and load the slim rom I wanted to load.
Tried a file called mc2 stock with counter reset and it just goes through the motions, comes up to the fake splash, says scared you , finishes this step and reboots, to infinite load, no boot loop, just hours and hours of nothing.
I can go back to 4.4.2 but thats all I can get out of it.
I am trying to put the same version on this phone due to the battery life and such that the first one has. 2 identical phones, same revision and all.

MIght be minor for you but huge for me. I dont consider myself a noob, probably the step above, but Im in a little situation. So a coworker of mines is into rooting and roms like myself. He had a sm-n910p which was only rooted running stock rom. One day while changing batteries (which one was stock and the other from anker) it just went into a bootloop. When the phone powers on it says
RECOVERY BOOTING . . . .
Samsung
GALAXY NOTE 4
Powered by android
then shuts off and starts the bootloop. When I installed CWM or TWRP it goes away but I can never really enter into recovery mode with either stock or custom recovery, and also i notice in download mode with TWRP or CWM installed it say COULD NOT LOAD NORMAL BOOT or something like that in red above ODIN MODE. I have installed all the firmwares i could find like the ANIE, BOB, and COG ones which passes on odin but just continues bootloop. I've even thought about if it has something to do with partitions and do i need pit files or something. But im done looking everywhere for answers so im just trying to get my questions answered. Your two cents on the situation would be much appreciated THANKS GUYS!!!
