I cannot get my Note 2 into recovery mode. I am able to get to download mode and have tried installing a few different ROMS through Odin. The install results in a "Pass" but the phone does not make it past the Samsung boot screen. I have tried a few of the suggestions on different postings in the forums but haven't had success. I am somewhat new to the rooting community and am in need of assistance with this, I am getting nowhere on my own. Thanks in advance for any assistance you all can offer.
You didn't mention if you ever flashed a custom recovery.

Sorry for the lack of details. I am sure I made a rookie mistake but heres the process that got me to where I am now:
I was rooted on 4.3 (used CF Autoroot). I was attempting to upgrade to 4.4.2 using EZKat's zip file, installing it from an external sd card throuh recovery mode. I did get that to take, but was having issues with the Samsung keyboard crashing (I now know there is a second file that fixes this, but got that info too late). So thinking I had made a mistake at that point I attempted to revert to the stock 4.1.2 rom, which also took. However, I then got a notification for an OTA update, and I went for it (probably a bad choice?).
The OTA update completed but on the reboot it started hanging at the Samsung logo. And that is where I am stuck now. I can get to download mode and Odin still lets me flash roms and gives me a "Pass" but the phone never gets past the boot screen freeze and I cannot enter recovery mode to factory reset or clear cache.
Thanks for your replies, I appreciate any assistance you have to offer.

The first file is a 4.3 rom you can flash but the 2nd file is the bootloader and when I did the ota from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 you have to flash that mk6 bootloader to make it boot

Just use cf auto root and make sure you get the right recovery and put it in the pda or ap slot in odin or you can flash a stock custom rom that's rooted already like the one I'm on

Note 2 I sent out of state is also stuck. I had downgraded to 4.1.1 to root it and left it there. It did work for a little bit, but not now. Will just flashing the bootloader file do the trick or do we have to flash the ROM too?
If it won't boot on 4.1.1 you might have to go up to 4.3 or 4.4.2 to make the phone work again I tried to go back to 4.1.1 and I couldn't get it to boot but I didn't try flashing the bootloader but it won't hurt anything if it don't work

I need to run an app, only occasionally, that can not be run with root. None of the "hide my root" type apps work. Can I flash an unrooted rom in TWR Recovery, make a nandroid, and just restore the unrooted rom when I need it? Then restore my MOAR rom when done? Any unrooted roms that make this easy?
As long as you keep your custom recovery then you should be able to accomplish this. Billard412 has a nice 'return to stock' rom, just read the OP, make sure you flash the recovery file before you reboot.

Thank you, this looks like it will work! Something must be up with the search. I tried searching for "stock" and it only came up with one post when searching for title only.. I even tried "Samsung" to test it and it only came up with one post for that..
No problem, glad to help.

Worked great. Nandroid, Installed stock ROM and TWRP recovery, rebooted and ran app, back to TWRP, nandroid stock ROM, restored MOAR.. Back in business. :good:
Hello developers and users,
I wanted to unroot my tablet but I accidentally deleted the OS but am still in the TWRP recovery mode. I wanted to try using a different root on the tablet but didn't know how. Is there a way that I can still flash the stock ROM into this device despite me deleting the OS?
I have a T-800.
Just flash the backup you made with twrp or boot to Download mode from twrp then flash the stock firmware.
Did you try to wipe in twrp and flash stock with Odin?

Here's how I rooted mine with no issues so far.
MAKE SURE THAT IN DEVELOPER OPTIONS YOU HAVE OEM UNLOCK USB DEBUGGING ON BEFORE FLASHING TWRP.
Flashed
a - TWRP 3.0.0.1-M
b - boot back into recovery (TWRP) and flash BETA SuperSU v2.68
after you do this reboot your phone to make sure things are good.
I then went back to recovery and flashed the Xposed zip and boot back into phone and install Xposed APK.
if you have the time flash the no wipe tar and try my method, check your PM shortly going to send you a link to my drop box where i have all the files needed in one place.

Hey guys im kinda new here and english isnt my native language so mind the punctuation and bad english
so here goes
I have a Note 4 910p which was working fine until i decided to root it with the cf-root method for note 4 available on XDA . everything went fine but i needed root to install few ported stuff from other brands. I wanted to install a ported SONY XPERIA CAMERA , for that i needed a recovery i installed a CWM recovery , i installed the camera and after flashing it and finishing of the work , in the end it asked me if i wanted to root. i didnt know what to do i click okay. so it rooted after that my cell booted and the touch calibration was off . i fixed that by *#2663# code .
the main problem im facing is that after the whole process i cannot install any apks, like i can click the install button but as soon as it starts installing i get an error "App not installed . Package may be corrupted" i thought it was with just one apk file. i tried multiple apks on my cell and other cells. its working on other cells but not on mine. secondly i cannot seem to activate the Private Mode no matter how much i try. i have tried factory resetting it from the OS. ive tried factory reseting it from the CWM recovery. everytime i factory reset the calibration goes whack.
I downloaded 2 different STOCK FIRMWARD Tar files but every time i try installing them , its starts installing and ends with
AUTH Fail in Odin
Please help me.
PS : The Camera Apps From XPERIA package stay no matter how many times i factory reset please help
if it helps i cant post images but i can give u the spec and other details of my cell if it can help u people in understanding my problem

You can find a zip for twrp so you don't have to use odin
---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------
If you just want 100%stock you will need odin so keep trying deferent version of odin, reboot pc and start fresh also boot into download after you pull the battery
Because if you want to use Kies you will need stock recovery even for ota's you need stock recovery so best bet is to get odin to work properly
thank u guys for ur quick response. i couldnt find the proper solution for the APK and Private Mode problem but i did manage to find the solution for going back to stock
What i was doing wrong was that i had the OTA update upto 6.01 and i was trying to flash a 5.0 firmware tar . i was researching where i came across that after the 5.01 update u cant downgrade to older one thats y i was facing the
AUTH Fail
Error while using ODIN thank u all for ur help and suggestions

The latest TWRP is 3.0.3-9. It's available in Captain Throwback's TWRP thread.
Yes sorry
Oh, I tried flashing an image from the official site and it said that I need to be S-OFF.I will try this one now.
