I tried this and it still didn't work. Is there something wrong with the computer?

There is something wrong with what you are doing, because thousands of people have used these guides. Why don't you start by telling us what, exactly, isn't working.
Odin won't work. It won't go past and say the pass. Whats wrong.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Make sure you are in download mode
Make sure you have the usb drivers installed
Make sure you have any anti virus and anything that might block program access to usb disabled.
Run Odin as administrator (just a guess here I have never heard of this being a problem)
Take it slow read over the guides again. If you can't use Odin you will have trouble rooting.
Personally I recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33460832
Cf auto root is incredibly easy method but still requires Odin.
We need much more information to help you.
I did all that. I'm not a noob. Just saying. Please help. Is there an alternate way without odin?

I decided to install custom kernel so I did it. Well after that I cant boot my Nexus, its stuck at its first boot animation
with white Google in a middle and little lock in a bottom. Only thing I can do is go to bootloader and acces recovery mod.
I tried to do pretty much everything in a recovery menu but its still not booting.
What can I do to restore stock rom with stock kernel or I dont know what can helps here. Pleas I will be realy greatful I am
a little bit noob to this
Reflash your ROM if you have any on your SD card. Also you can use a toolkit and flash the factory image.

I understand the hatred for toolkits because it causes complacency but its extremely easy to fix a device using it. Everyone should know how to use adb but I have used both and they both have worked perfectly for me.

im sorry, but if you think typing a few commands in to flash the stock images is hard, you really are lazy.
I never said it was hard. What is your major grief with toolkits? How is using a toolkit any different than flashing someone else's ROM? You can compile it yourself but its much more efficient to just flash and go. This will be my last response unless the OP has any more issues he needs help with. Good luck with fixing your phone no matter what method you would like to use.

because when the toolkit fails, it fails hard and then the user of said toolkit has no idea how to fix anything and posts threads on here saying "i bricked my phone and used such and such toolkit"
the people helping them have no idea where to even begin to try and troubleshoot the problem as you dont know the failure point. the toolkit just says "complete" or "done"
that is my major beef with toolkits.

I think what you mean to ask is, In download mode you get failed errors in Odin trying to flash a stock fw and encryption errors when flashing a rom via twrp. Post your pics of errors you are getting in the thread hopefully someone has an answer for you. iv'e been trying to help but im baffled, seems nothing will write to his internal on the phone. is this considered a brick even if you can still get into download mode or recovery?
EDIT: here are pics of errors twanskys204 is getting in odin and twrp. even after factory reset or wipes of caches from encryption error still no boot.

If your using a PIT file, tick "re-partition" in odin. It will 100% wipe the device. like factory. That should fix your error.

Edit sorry wrong question
Part of your problem is your flashing att firmware on a Canadian carrier phone. Try the right firmware. They are close, but not close enough.
Okay that being said. I can get into cwm. I see my external no internal. When I flash dagr8s rom it says complete and boots to Samsung splash screen then it gives me that encryption issue.. I'm at the point where I think I'm out of a note 2 but I don't know I'm 16 days into the purchase... Of well I guess this was an 800 dollar mistake on my part. To all the newbies out there plzz plzz read and understand b4 u flash.

No, the link is for a Captivate thread on encryption errors. It says that in the first sentence of the OP. The thread link is merely to help point you on a direction to start looking for what happened. It is not posted with the intent to offer a solution, merely more information.
Also, did you flash Canadian firmware on your Canadian phone, instead of Att firmware on your Canadian phone?
Ok first off in Odin. You only want that file in the PDA section.
Did you make a nandroid of your stock rooted before flashing dagr8's ROM? If so restore that. If not. Download a stock rooted one and get your phone working again.
What link did you DL his ROM from? Mine kept failing and had success from mirror 2
Also did you follow all the instruction about root??? It says make sure repartition isn't- IS NOT - checked!!!!
Edit: after rereading I see you were already rooted. If our can get to recovery. What about a data reset. Might work

Thats correct re partition needs to be enabled when going to stock when using a .pit file in odin. The i317m was released oct 30 so hence the reason he had it longer as I do the same

Well, they were released on the 9th. so impossible to have it that long, unless you have the Bell?rodgers version. Not sure when those came out. Also. SORRY for trying to help. it didn't look like you followed any of the instructions. reading the post I linked you too, doesn't have you flashing 5 files in Odin at any time.... EVER! If you truly want to unroot your phone..... READ AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! It helps so much. We were all noobs once, just read and reread.

Not that I know of. If you can get to download mode you are still OK. Can you get into recovery?
If you can this is the Att stock image recovery. This should be the only file you need to get back to a working phone. I didn't see one for bell/Rogers.

So i searched around for quite a bit and could not find anything addressing my problem so excuse me if this is a re post!
So I had to do an emergency recovery through Kies Air today and go all the way back to stock FI27! After doing so i went and downloaded what I needed to re-root so that i could get CWM loaded up again but when trying to do so Odin fails! I have tried 5 different cables re-downloaded and tried all the different variations of the root such as the No data and wipe data etc. Just curious if anyone else other than myself have run into this issue? If so and you know of a way to fix it please let me know it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!!!!

Other option you have - assuming it boots to system... Download the Exynos Abuse .apk from Chainfire and use that to obtain root. You can then flash by Mobile Odin Pro if you're willing to buy from Play Store. Will get you everything except the modem, which flashing Agat's repack in Mobile Odin can also get you covered there.
Try a different version of Odin, sometimes they are really picky

Hey guys just wanted to let you know I got it to work on a different PC Thanks once again for you help and advice!
Guys I sold my old HTC One X for a used Galaxy s3 so I'm very happy with how it's been so far and I'm not regretting it at all.
It's firmware is 4.0.4 and I wanted to root my phone.
Galaxy model I'm using is the i747
I followed this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJss1...b3AMT1POhpYeXG
I did tried the step by step guide and video but I always got stuck and problems at the PDA section. It says FAIL.
I did tried searching for a fix but it seems even though I'm not the first neither the last with this problem I had no idea how to fix it.
I also tried the MACosx version with Heimdall and exactly the same, it fails during the PDA part.
What is my solution?
Thank you so much!
That link doesn't appear to be working. It could a bad file download. Maybe try downloading the root file(s) again. If you're doing this from Windows, there are several root methods to choose from in the general section I believe
