I rooted my Note II with SU. I have not flashed any roms, still running stock. The problem is this: I downloaded Triangle Away and reseted counter. Then I uninstalled it, and did a full unroot with SU. Status still said "modified" so I then did a hard reset of the phone. Now, it's stuck in a boot-loop wth the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" logo.
I have no idea what to do, and I guess I had no idea what I was doing. Please help me out!
wipe data and cache in recovery mode
I had the same unfortunate situation with you pal. I tried ti root my note 2 before and same things you did then bootloop occured. What I did was I downloaded my firmware and flashed via odin in pc. I cannot go to recovery before that.. now everything is fine. I will never try to root again unless I really needed it. Hoped I helped you

Go into recovery and select factory reset.
If that doesn't help just flash any rom released January onwards

Hi Guys need help bad. I hope I didnt screw my phone up.
I rooted my phone using the latest toolkit and installed twrp. Once i did that I backed up everything including efs on the external card.
Once i did that I flashed Jedi x rom but did not have much signal so decided to flash another rom which was liquid smooth. Once I flashed it again
my signal was almost non existent. I downloaded a canadian modem in the zip file and flashed it using twrp the same way i would flash a rom.
After i did that i wiped all the data and cache and the system. As I was rushing it siince its late at night i got a message saying that I am not rooted. I ignored it and rebooted the system and now its stuck on samsung logo. What can i do? Please help!!!!!
It appears that when I hold vol up plus home plus power I can get into download mode. I hope that helps.
Can someone give me some help how to get it back to life. I am pretty sure I have to use Odin at this point but dont know how
Ok i did some reading and I think the next step is to download stock image for the wind mobile turn on Odin and upload the image to the phone..
What settings should I use in Odin? What should be checked at the top and am I to use PDA only?
You can use odin or just reflash the ROM. You said tout wiped system after flashing the modern. That means you erased what ever ROM was on there. It's sticking at Samsung because there is no ROM to boot into.

Well I cant get into TWRP and dont know how to flash a ROM through ODIN? I am total newb at this.
Could you give me some pointers once I open up odin what do i need to do ? Thanks
Have you puked the battery. Put it back in then held volume+, home and power? Your recovery should still be there.
Also, odin is easy. Just open it and click the pda box and put your stock ROM there. Two things make sure you put your image in PDA and PDA ONLY and make sure it's your official stock Image

Yup went back to ODIN and flashed stock image and everything is now working great. I assume that I need to root the phone again before attempting to flash any roms again. I guess it was late at night and like you said I wiped the rom and there was nothing to boot into. I am an idiot!
Thanks for your quick help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so here's my next question.
In order to root again do i use the toolkit again or simply just download the pre-rooted rom and flash it with Odin? Which one would be better just
to get root again? Thanks!

When I did this approach, I did it in two steps. I downloaded factory image of the firmware and flashed the device by using Odin 3.0.7.
Next, I used a tool package called "Galaxy Note2 ToolKit." Follow the instructions for how to root.
When I did the procedure, the software also had an option to include clockworkmod recovery
and busybox.

I've been on XDA for sometime but this has me frustrated. My note 3 keeps rebooting over and over. It will show the Note III screen then the Samsung screen and then the white with pink T-Mobile screen. After several seconds...it starts to reboot this same manner over and over. Every once and a while it will boot up to lock screen. When I swipe the screen it says that the system is not responding. It asked me do I want to wait or cancel. Eventually it just reboots and starts the process over and over. I have tried odin maybe 50 times. Tried kies. It will load the odin tar stock rom and say successful but the rebooting just starts again. I've tried a stock kernel and I tried the green compusion kernel. Please, if you have the knowledge to help, I would be very grateful. I've flashed roms and odined bricked devices for years...but this one has me stuck....Thanks ahead of time. It will go into download mode fine. It will go into recovery fine as well.
I have read the other threads and post similar to this one but they haven't help up to this point and do not seem ti be active anymore.

Have you tried the complete restore function in Kies? Where you have to enter your Model & Serial number?
Using the stock downloaded from sammobile. And I have tried kies restor with the model and sn. It load perfectly on the phone just like odin but when the phone starts to boot up....it bootloops.
I just load the md5 file in PDA and hit start.

if you can't get CSC and AP availability in odin,
close odin
open odin.ini

wouldn't know, hasn't happened to me yet. if there's one thing i've noticed with this stuff, is that it is very rare to permanently (although slightly possible via software/software-hardware conflicts) to brick a device unless you do something really stupid. i'm fairly confident that joe will get this working.
Thanks for all the confidence and the humor as well. Yeah, I've come close to bricking several devices. But usually with some great insight and help....they are "usually" restorable . Thanks guys. I'm downloading root de la vega files now...soon we shall see....
Thanks for the twrp thread link. I've flashed twrp several times...no problem..the problem is when the rom starts to load it just loops and loops and...
well...tried it...it loaded. came to tmobile screen then began looping again...unbelieveable....

try twrp and restore previously working system or boot partition. i'd only try one at a time.
OOOOOORRRRRR
try reflashing stock kernel then wiping cache, dalvik, fix permissions.
if that don't work try a custom kernel then wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permissions.
i think you are one step closer.
Message came up and said "process system isn't responding" and then looped again....any more ideas?

You let it totally boot. then go into recovery and wipe data and cache right?
I restored system and then boot from a stock rooted backup. Still didn't work...So, I'll try the odin with stock and wipe data and cache...thanks guys. Maybe one of these will work.

No when you odin you should still have the boot loop. Then you can do a battery pull and reboot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache.

i dont understand why ppl are crazy abt the latest release and go flashing and later get stuck with knox sh..t ,now you are out of warranty as your count must have triggered due to flashing recovery
try to flash stock again and dont flash old rom now as this may harm your phone so flash the same rom again and see if you can get your phone on but before wipe cache and dalvik and try to boot up.
later root can be sorted out

so i updated to 4.3 but really didn't like cause it was draining my battery. I went to odin to go back to 4.1.2 and now it wont't complete it always abort. On phone it say system status custom, knox warranty void 1. Then it will say unsupported version so i guess its talking about the stock 4.1.2 tar. Some have any idea what to do?
Some one help me please in odin mode every time it gets to sboot.bin that's where it fails.

Just to make sure you did the ota update to 4.3 and tried to flash back to 4.1.2 or you were on a 4.3 rom? I will follow steps but don't i need to root before i flash a custom recovery? If so im screwed cause i won't be able to turn on debug mode or what need to be turned on in developer options.
Even on stock, just go to settings, Other, about device, scroll down to build, tap on build 5 times and it will unlock developer mode for debugging.

Use odin flash twrp recovery, then boot into twrp wipe caches and fatory reset then flash a stock 4.1.2 Rom that's what i did .. But the first time you wipe everything with twrp it might book back into twrp but just keep rebooting till it reboots to the stock room. Thats what i did now

I tried to downgrade after the update and failed. My phone was totally bricked, I tried flashing TWRP, Philz touch, and CWN and could not get into recovery or anything. I came home and opened sboot.bin with a hex editor and found that SEAndroid in 4.3 is what allows everything to boot and it is write protected, so what i did was copied the sboot.bin into a MC2 Flashable tar and flashed it with Odin, and it worked. I then flashed the update, flashed Phils touch recovery and rooted my fone, now I am on a completely rooted 4.3
Here is a link to the file I used to Unbrick/Downgrade: http://myfavoritecontractors.com/4.3_Unbrick.tar
Several other people have verified they were having the same problem and flashed this and it worked, they also told me to start this thread so others could fix their fone
im on 4.3 stock i tried rooting with auto root using Odin but it didnt want to root the phone, it worked on 4.1.2 stock but not on this 4.3.. which sucks because i want to go on a custom ROM right now like paranoid android but cant cause i dont know how to root my phone since its 4.3 stock :crying: lol smh

You are a god, worked flawlessly! I am going to wait for 4.3 via OTA this time instead of flashing the update though (didn't like the Easy Mode big icons etc)
Thank you for this, this is the only rom I can use to get away from the dreaded Kies error screen. However, I'm now stuck on the Samsung glowing boot screen. Any suggestions on how to fix?
Thank you
I have a MK4 tar that is flash able in Odin for those still looking to unbrick (and those who tried getting to my suspended Dropbox. ..) http://www.mediafire.com/download/7viivd985s7cp8l/L900VPUBMK4_L900SPTBMK4_HOME.tar.zip
After flashing a ROM or using Odin to flash firmware I highly suggest a data/cache wipe in recovery. 99.9% of the time it'll fix a bootloop (unless you've gone and corrupted partitions you had no business touching).

You should be able to flash a custom recovery, flash twrp, then go into twrp recovery and flash (mc2 back to stock unrooted with counter reset) you should be able to find that pretty easy and download it
Other than that, if you get the failed update screen, you can use kies
