Are you able to get into your recovery? If so, from what I see here it should let you into the stock recovery. If you get something different or nothing at all let me know. Have you tried flashing back to stock with any other files (i.e. something provided here on XDA, or an older file on the Samsung website)? I've run into issues with ASUS post bad software on their site when trying to return to stock. May I ask why you are flashing back to stock? You said that you believe your OS was deleted? I may have some links I can pass on to you to help you find what you need, but a bit more information would help. I looked on the Verizon NII forums and have seen a few people with similar issues.

I have not tried flash to stock with any other files, i did attempt to flash the CF Auto root file becuase i was at a lose. I tried that yesterday morning the result i got was loosing my twrp recovery and binary count up to two. I deleted my os while tring to flash macksrom v5 2 weeks ago. I was attempting to flash to stock in effort to reclaim my OS. I would like end game to be macksrom v5. Previous to deleting os, 2 months ago i tried flashing macksrom planejane to no avali, using files from diffrent locations but all seem to be unable to unzip. The only successfull in flashing was a perseus kernle.

Try pushing TWRP to your phone using ODIN. From there you can try putting that ROM on your phone. I would try a different ROM first just to see if you are able to flash anything.

Are you new to modding phones? Not trying to sound rude, you just seem a little confused is all. When we say we are flashing a "ROM" we mean we are installing a different OS on the phone. It all depends on what you are looking for. If you want something smooth and close to original android, you could try Cyanogen mod, AOKP, Liquid smooth and a few others. If you want one that is a modded stock ROM (one advantage there is that you will still have access to all of the Samsung Applications for the S-Pen, though there are plenty of suitable replacements for these) you could try something like Synergy... Not sure what all else there is as it has been a while since I've tried out different ROMs. What all are you looking for in a ROM?

ok so yes i was trying to root and flash to verizon. bought the phone on craigslist. it had a bad esn so i decided to flash it. I rooted it and installed twrp just fine. being a dumb @$$ took hold of me and i decided to partition and format the phone. in the end I bricked it. so i through the phone into download mode. and tried to use the custom LJC rom. (no dice). so I tried the VZW variant. (failed at cache). So I tried to replace the the stock rom. got down to sboot.bin and failed. it turns out the bootloaders get locked so i cant use a boot image to recover. in the process of replacing with stock i deleted twrp. unintentionally. so no more twrp. so i found a thread that had a stock rom that doesnt use sboot.bin. fails at cache every time. I have tried everything I know to do and there isnt much on the note 2 yet. so im looking for answers. I feel as if im close but im just missing something. if i could find a combination kies file with no sboot.bin for SPH-L900 it may work. I dont know how to compile it myself or i would so here I am. any help would be appreciative.
Thanx

Looking for you expert advice
I am trying to take my Boost Mobile S3 and flash it to my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I use to have the note 2 flashed with my old donor (Boost Mobile Incognito)... I LOVE the Note 2 but hated that I could only get 3g. I love the 4G on my S3 (night and day difference). I am green but I am getting pretty savoy from all the info I get here. And I read, read and then read some more... I miss my note 2.. Easy on the eyes! lol... I love the bigger screen and the s-pen feature, Simply put, after reading your thread here, I was so impressed with your knowledge that I thought I'd ask you for your help. I just want to use the S3 as a donor. How to I donor the S3? What programs do you suggest to use to read the info on the S3 and write (flash) to the Note 2? Thank you so much for any help you can give...
I finnaly got to flash the lastest suggestion billard412 you are right on the money. Thanks a billion and where is your donation button!?

please help me, im in big doodoo... i dropped my old epic in the snow a couple of days ago and lost it. just got my brand new 100$ replacement one and decided to head straight for eb13. i ended up with cwm3.whathaveyou and then from there i ended up converting to ext4 it seems. i made the mistake of trying to reboot with the odexed stock eb13 rom. which started this downward spiral of an increasingly less functional paper weight. basically now i cant even get to cwm or stock recovery. i cant do anything except start download mode... which i assume is the only way to fix it now, however everytime i start to flash a stock update such as dg27, dk28 or eb13 they keep getting stuck. eb13 got stuck on the "boot.bin" and dg27 is currently stuck on param.lfs
i know that my own ignorance has gotten me into this mess not reading throughly, but i was hoping some of you not so ignorant geniuses could help me out of this mess. any advice on how to get odin to finish its work would be greatly appreciated.
Wrong section.
To answer your question though. You should go to the stock DI18 per the instructions on the wiki.
okay. how and where do i move it?
It should go in either Q&A or General. This is for ROM and Kernal development only. You can't move it unless you delete it and make a new thread. An admin will have to move it.
please dont make any new topics in this section. this goes in q & a. pls read rules
okay sorry. how do i delete my post?

Make sure you cant boot into any kind of recovery.
Call sprint technical they will try to reset it for you while you're talking to them on the phone act stupid but say you were trying to upgrade to froyo with samsungs exe.
they will reset it and it shouldn't be able to get pass the samsung boot then delete everything off of your sd card.
take it into your local sprint store they will fix it for free but remember tell them you were upgrading to froyo with SAMSUNG's Software not odin.

Try flashing with this:

Use the second link: Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6
edit: piggy-backing on iSaint's post, yes click re-partition for this flash. When I flashed, I actually had all 3 checked (repartition, reset time and auto reboot).

I say grab the Samsung Phone Flash tool and go stock EB13 and then try again. CWM/EXT4 and EB13 stock kernel don't play together. You need a modded kernel.

Hello! This is my first post on xda as I have usually been able to find a resolution in one of the already asked questions but I might have just played with my note 2 not knowing what I was really doing a little bit too much.
So I'll try and say everything I've done to make it easier to help me.
I bought the phone and I was happy using GoLauncher and stuff but then stumbled upon rooting and custom roms and being able to get new rom releases that aren't out on the N7100 yet.
So this was all good and well flashing ProBam, Cyanongen Mod, Cerberus, Dr Ketans Rom... and when I had finished having my fun.. I flashed a stock rom and went back to using that, however, the other night I flashed Philz Touch 5 and tried to flash a custom rom that I had downloaded previously. ( Well I tried to flash about 5) These were Echoe rom, Hurricaine rom, Dr Ketans rom, Official stock rom and I can't remember the other.
However, all of these roms came up with the '(Bad) Installation aborted' message on cwm, so now through whatever I've done (i think i flashed original root "CFAutoRoot" through odin' I don't have cwm anymore but i CAN access the system menu, download mode and as far as getting on to the actual phone goes, it get's stuck on the 'SAMSUNG GALAXY Note II GT-N7100' screen, and I read a thread (poet) saying that you may have to wait 20 minutes and not be impatient, so I left the phone for 7 hours (to no luck). I am really stressing out and I cannot find a fix to this!
I am currently trying to extract AP_N7100XXUEM16_CP_N7100XXEM16_CSC_N7100XAEM16_BY_WVAZ_DINK.zip with password 'wagnervaz' and it just keeps getting stuck whilst extracting so...
anyhoo I REALLY NEED HELP
I've tried so much and please don't tell me to 'wipe cache, factory reset/wipe data' cause that just doesn't work I've done it about 1 million times and I honestly don't even know what state my phone is in right now, it probably looks like the containment field from beyond two souls inside.
I hope to hear from one of you very clever guys soon, and thank you so much in advance!:good:

I'm no stranger to rooting and flashing ROMs, but this is a new one on me. I've had my Virgin Mobile Siii for several months and am pretty happy with it. However, I want to go to CyanogenMod. I also want to root and put a custom recovery on my phone.
My first problem is that I put TWRP on the phone a month or two ago, but when I try to boot into recovery, all I see is the <e3> recovery. I have a TWRP folder with a copy of a Nandroid backup on it, so it must have been there, right? Anyway, to try to figure this out, I downloaded ROM Manager (free version). It says I have both TWRP and Clockwork recoveries on the phone, and trying to have it set me up to use or update either one goes nowhere. Superuser says I'm not rooted.
What I'd prefer to do is get a working root and TWRP recovery on the phone -- I've used it with both an EVO 4G and HTC One V I had in the past and I'm comfortable with it, though if I have to use CWM I can. Then I'd like to use the new CyanogenMod installer if I can be sure it's compatible with the phone. My baseband/build version numbers end with MG2, so I know the phone might be slightly different than a Sprint SIII, but from my exploring the forums here and on other sites it seems to be pretty compatible.
This uncertainty of whether or not I have a custom recovery on the phone makes me very leery of trying to flash a new one without a second opinion. Can anyone help or give me guidance on this?

Have you went here and used this method? I would first flash all that way back to stock unrooted on pc Odin to get rid of all the clutter. And if it were me, I wouldn't use ROM manager either. It says Sprint in the link, but everything is the same.

Alright guys, tried to do some searching on this topic - no help found. So i'm resorting to what I hate to do, flooding the forums with more topics. Little bit of background to help troubleshoot, I've been rooting and rom-ing for about 4 years now with all Verizon Samsung phones (locked bootloaders and all that fun stuff) but just switched to sprint recently and having a few issues with roms.
On to my issue...
My phone has been experiencing a bunch of lag lately. So bad where the phone locks up for about 5 to 7 seconds about 3-4 times an hour and it is getting annoying as it's locking it at some crucial points. So, I have TWRP on there, rooted on stock 4.4 and tried to flash CM12 nightlies for this phone (the Sprint version). TWRP refused to install it, saying that the phone itself was the trlteTMO version and couldn't flash the trlteSPR roms. I flashed the TMO CM12 nightly and it flashed perfectly fine, but my service didn't work. I believe I got 3G/LTE and calling (unsure, can't confirm.) But no texts went through. But what the great part was, is that it did not stutter and Lollipop was absolutely f-in' gorgeous. So i'm assuming the phone accepted the software, but the radios weren't correct. I loved CM12 so much, but I use XPOSED for a few things. (Basically just Keepchat), So i'm okay with going to CM12 if someone can get my Sprint phone, which i got through Sprint, to work with Sprint roms. I'm at a brick wall.
Mind you that I have access to a windows computer, but it's junk and would rather flash using ODIN PRO on my phone, or just using my recovery. I use a Macbook Pro as my daily, but I can't get heimdall to work as i once did on my S3. I can't even find support or any downloads for it. So, i'm pretty much back to noob status and just need some good guidance. Thank you for reading, and help me flash something new!
Did you use the correct recovery for spr? Is only thing I can think of.... Maybe you flashed the tmo recovery

Definitely checking that. Sounds like it could be a very good reason for it to reject the tar.

Using a .tar file in recovery could be your 1st problem....

I agree with spleef. There's no other reason I can think of that would cause TWRP recovery to not install a sprint rom and give you that error message. You should really double check the tar files bwhen downloading them and definitely before flashing them with odin. Another thing, you are very brave for knowlingly flashing a T-Mobile rom on your Sprint phone. Seriously, you might want to Odin back to the stock. Sprint NK2 rom .tar and startb over fresh. It would be in your best interest at this point.

Excuse me, you're right. The recovery file was not tar. You're correct though, that does seem as it would just a littttttle bit of an issue..

I agree with spleef. There's no other reason I can think of that would cause TWRP recovery to not install a sprint rom and give you that error message. You should really double check the tar files bwhen downloading them and definitely before flashing them with odin. Another thing, you are very brave for knowlingly flashing a T-Mobile rom on your Sprint phone. Seriously, you might want to Odin back to the stock. Sprint NK2 rom .tar and startb over fresh. It would be in your best interest at this point.

I cannot fully confirm that it was the wrong TWRP as the only recoveries I had on my computer and phone storage were sprint versions.
I did however reinstall the sprint recovery again after having to flash back to stock due to a random bootloop issue. So after reflashing 4.4 stock, reinstalling the recovery and restoring to a previous backup, I am now clean flashed on 5.0.2 all cellular features working on CM12 Official.
Mods, if you could please close or delete this thread, that would be appreciated.
Thank you @spleef, I'm sure you were correct anyways.

I feel your pian. Same somewhat similar happend to me on the Snapdragon S5.
I did a factory reset. Hook up to Kies3. Upgraded to NK2. Did a little Coding.Wiated for Lolipop to role out Official. Rooted debloated N knox free. Found in General tips and tricks.
All OS is running Super Fast-
Hi
I'm a twat who rooted his device, then installed a Russian KitKat eqivalent 4,4, then tried to upgrade to Lollipop. The recovery was all in Russian, so I tried to wing it by guessing the tabs. Now I can't get into recovery mode- I just get a recurrent Samsung GT-N7100 screen.
I've tried re firmwaring it via Oden. Appears ok but just hangs in download mode.
Can't even get to recovery with down with Vol up-Power-Home.
Sounds like my phone is stuffed. Any ideas befoe I bin it and howl to the moon???
I did the exact same thing! I got round it by flashing official firmware via Odin, reflashing CWM, re rooting and then flashing DN4. I'm no expert though. Shame cos if it was the same ROM, it looked good apart from that recovery. I may give it another go when I've read up on how to change the language!

I'm so.. grateful for your reply. Gives me some relief that not the only twat in the universe, and another angle of attack. Have to research the CWM bit. I think I used PSN-purecm AnyROM Aroma one ( if thta's a CWM). Installed ok with a flame log and the phone bootlooped afterwards. The trouble a lot of the links in these fora link to non existing pages, so when I flash or recover I get signature not verified or the like!!!
Anyway, thanks and Seasons greeting if this time of year floats your boat.

Get official firmware for your region from sammobile (google it). I used Philz Touch recovery, re rooted and flashed my backup of Ditto Note 4. You can use whatever ROM you like, (I'd suggest one in English Might not be the only way round it, but it worked for me. Glad I'm not alone in feeling foolish!
