[Q] I think I bricked my Note? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Ok I have a SGH-i317 on att and my problem is this. So I went to update my phone through the OTA from att and had to get the 4.3 bootloader for the DN3 rom I installed. Messed up a couple files and had to downgrade back to 4.1.2 ( this is where things went to hell) it booted fine on stock 4.1.2 until I let it do another OTA then the phone froze and will now only let me enter download mode. I checked probably 10 threads pertaining to my problem like this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891 and I can't get it off the initial start up screen. I can still enter download mode but thats it. I've tried flashing the stock 4.3 through Odin and a custom recovery from the link above I even tried to flash a pit file and a bootloader file but the bootloader file comes back in error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I get a failed message when trying to use the bootloader from http://d-h.st/Krs which is from the thread in my op.
EDIT: i didnt need to flash the bootloader I needed to flash the tz+param file and then do a factory reset and it booted up now im just gonna drink a beer re-upgrade to 4.3 and reflash DN3 and hopefully never have to do this again. many thanks for your help. I just knew I was gonna have to use my upgrade before the note 4 comes out lol. Once again thanks.

Okay, I'm not sure what you flashed with Odin. Download twrp and flash the recovery img in the past, with everything unchecked. Once you boot into recovery you have to flash the root file in the twrp root kit on that site.

That strange screen is just like the normal download mode screen.
All it means is that the previous odin flash did not fully complete.
All you need to do is to make sure you have the proper stock odin
flash TAR / MD5 file and start the odin flash again.
That weird screen usually comes up when we try flashing a non compatible stock
odin flash rom so just be sure that what you flash is either the official stock rom or
a rom which is specifically designed for your specific phone's model.
Good luck!

So i tried flashing the stock .tar file through odin and im still at the black screen with the triangle telling me that its software not recognized by samsung

Boot into recovery and do a factory reset. You have to do that when Odining back to stock frequently or it gets stuck booting up.

i was on 4.3, trying to get data to work, so i followed the post on the rom's thread, then I ended up messing it up
so basically, at this point, no recovery working, just odin mode and download mode, and gets stuck at splash screen
It sounds like you tried to downgrade to 4.2 from 4.3 accidentally.

Try going into download mode. Then press down and have it reboot and hold volume up and power till there are blue words at the top over the Samsung (then release) and flash any ROM you have on your SD card from recovery.

well im downloading the firmware you showed me, itll take some time, but when i saw the blue words previously, it showed, then disappeared and went into "odin mode"
I know what you mean but I think you can still get into recovery. You just have to release volume up + power as soon as you see the blue words. For me I can only get it, at the moment, after going into download mode first.

[Q] Can you Upgrade to 4.4 if your rooted with no recovery?

My girlfriend has an AT&T Note 2 running 4.1.2 that is rooted, but with no custom recovery.
Is there a way to get the update.zip put it on the root of the SD card and upgrade through the stock bootloader?
She doesn't want to start from scratch, just upgrade. Doesn't really matter if she loses root or not.
