[Q] Soft Bricked Note 2 Verizon. HELP! URGENT!

I am not new to rooting and flashing rom however, I switched from my rooted GS3 running CM11 to the Note 2. I flashed the stock firmware (root66) and made the mistake of running the OTA 4.1.2 update which caused my note to be soft bricked. The phone boots to the samsung logo and freezes there. I flashed several stock firmware using odin that pass but when my phone reboots it freezes at the samsung logo. I can not access recovery mode, only downloading mode. I know its a way to fix this I'm just not sure how. Any suggestions?

Easy peasy, flash philz v5.00.5 (not the latest) through odin then u should be able to access recovery, from recovery flash a custom ROM so u can get unstuck, then when everything is fine, flash a stock rom from sammobile and hopefully it should work.

Smack the thanks if I helped.

[Q] CUSTOM ROM flashing via Odin?

Hello,
my samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (p5210) for some reason reports various errors when I try to install custom ROM's using recovery menu. I already many of the ways of fixing these issues, Tried a few recovery menus, hard to find for this model as they are not officially supported. I'm currently downloading a stock ROM and I'm going to flash it usiing Odin.
Is it possible to bypass the recovery menu and flash a CUSTOM ROM (not a stock one) using Odin or some other program, connecting my tablet to pc in the bootloader mode?
There are a few posts regarding this issue but in every post people are getting answers where to get official stock firmware files for Odin. I want to flash a custom ROM that came in a .zip package.

Can't revert to Stock Rom

Hey guys,
so I installed CyanogenMod using TWRP on my phone but it wasn't working properly so I went back to TWRP again and wiped /data. After that I opened up SmartSwitch so that I can do an emergency recovery but that also didn't work because it said that the "GT-I9195 doesn't support Initialisation".
Then I downloaded a random stock rom for the S4 mini LTE since I don't know what the official carrier of my phone is and tried to flash it but it got stuck on "system.img.ext4".
Now I can't even reinstall CM via sideload or flash a stock rom (don't know what the official Region/Carrier code of the phone is)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go to SamMobile download firmware for your device. Flash it via odin

Going Back to Stock Firmware From Custom Rom

Hi all,
Total beginner question... I have searched and searched and cannot find a way to revert my s4 mini back to the stock firmware from a custom rom. Every time I try to install the firmware via odin I just get secure check fail : aboot error.
I had installed a custom rom via TWRP and have tried everything to get the device back to a state to just install a samsung firmware?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
