Bricked My Note 2 via Brain Fart - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

So here's what happened - I installed digitalblur but forgot to install the 4.3 bootloader prior to flashing digitalblur. ROM flashed fine and went thru setup of rom and then as I always do after setup I like to reboot the phone. But it wouldn't reboot, all it would do is continue to boot loop at the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 screen. Now I can't get into recovery. Anyone have any ideas of what I can do to fix this issue?

If you can get into download mode, you should be able to Odin back to stock.

Removing CWM Recovery off stock device

Hi. I was wondering how I would go about removing CWM Recovery off my stock s3.
My computer isn't that good and I want to remove it so I can do the jb update. It keeps saying the file signature failed and wont install and I thought if maybe I got rid of CWM it would let me update.
All help is appreciated.

Same issue here. I have CWM Recovery and the device is rooted. Doesn't seem to like the OTA for Jelly Bean.
My device isn't rooted tho. That's why I wanna get rid of it. If I was rooted I'd flash jb. I couldn't get rooted. My computer screen wasn't big enough to click ok in Odin. And when I finally did It rebooted but said it couldn't finish the root.

Update:
Flashed stock recovery. Went to do update and the update got to 24% and rebooted. Pop-up said it failed and to use kies.
Ill try again later and see if maybe a new update cache would fix it.

I used the SnapDragon tools to restore to stock recovery. Worked like a charm.

Stuck on black Galaxy note 2 screen

Someone please help me. I tried to flash the unroot back to stock through twrp as ma5 wasn't working all that well for me and i wanted to start from scratch unrooted and get the sprint ova for the ma7.
So i flashed the file and it said that it was successful. It even went to the special recovery like it was supposed to before rebooting. Now we get to the problem. The phone wont reboot. It just stays on the first black galaxy note 2 screen. Is there anything i can do to fix this? Someone please help me.
U coukd try and flash another rom or use odin to flash a stock rom.

I tried both of those already. It acts like everything flashes ok but then when it reboots, it stays on the black note 2 screen
You can try flashing twrp through odin and make sure auto reboot is not checked
Then reboot into recovery and flash a rom.
Unless you can reboot into recivery, cause if you can then this is pointless.

I had to order a new phone through Sprint. Luckily it was so screed up they couldn't tell whether it was rooted or not. Which is double good because I also had a broken secure element

Yeah done that and goes right back to the downloading screen.

Flash any recovery. It will reboot to it. Then restart from there.
You might have rebooted into downloaded mode via recovery or rom. This happens some times.

[Q] Stuck on Google play edition rom

So I originally had a the touch wiz with T-Mobile and then I installed the Google play edition and ran it through the recovery. But I don't really like how the Google play works so I tried to reformat it and then it bricked (just stayed on the Samsung galaxy s4 start up).. So I tried to put other things like eclipse touchwiz but that made my phone stuck on the start up and made it shut down with a 3 sec vibration.. Only the google play edition works so far... It also help fix the bricks. So please help me try to get it back to the original touch wiz!
If nothing seems to work by flashing, then the only solution is to use Odin to restore your phone back to factory settings.

Out of curiosity - Did you try to restore your stock ROM back up?
I would also check the ROM thread if anyone else had similar issue and then go from there.
