[Q] Odin Woes

ODIN ISSUES: In desperate need of HELP.
I have a Verizon Galaxy Note 2(sch-i605). I found the right root files for my phone and flashed a custom ROM onto it using Odin. Now i want to flash a STOCK ROM back onto my phone but Odin won't recognize any of the files. I know i have all the correct tar files, but when i hit the PDA tab in Odin, and go to the directory where my files are, THEY JUST DON'T SHOW UP!
I've tried downloading different versions of Odin but that still hasn't solved the problem. I've got the correct drivers for my phone so it's not that, and USB debugging is enabled. Can someone PLEEEASE help!

can anyone help me out here?

Issues with firmware

Anyone else having issues installing stock firmware through Odin or Kies? When I go through Kies, it tries to install but pops up a message saying it can't recognize the phone; and when I go through Odin, it will try to find the PIT files than fail.

[Q] n750 note 3 neo bricked

I tried flashing a stock firmware downloaded from sammobile and the flash was successful. Auto re-boot was selected so the phone rebooted but it booted into download mode. I flashed the same firmware again and this time odin stays stuck at NAND write start. I googled the problem and found out that problem can be fixed by flashing a pit file. I can't find the pit file anywhere online. How do I solve the issue? Can anyone provide the pit file? Will flashing the pit file fix the problem?
Check which firmware you are flashing and confirm that it matches your phones firmware, then first try without PIT File but make sure Modem and CSC are select, else brick the phone completely and then install Stock ROM but make sure you select it according to your country

Urgent help

My phone is broken. I rooted it and then installed a custom rom. After that it kept on randomly rebooting. I Then tries putting it back to stock with an md5 file, but it failed half way through. Now it just says firmware upgrade issue. Use recoverymode in kies. I tried but it says my phone is not supported. Now I keep on trying to install ota firmware updates but they keep failing. Please help get my phone up and running asap
Also telling me there is no pit binary
Go here to grab the zip file. Unzip and odin the tar file to bring your phone back.
That did not work it said auth fail
using a different kernel it succceeded

For future reference. When this happens and Odin fails to flash official software you first need to make sure you odin the same software version that is currently running on your phone. If that fails then you can flash the stock unrooted kernel that matches your current software. Another tip, major software update's tar packages will include a sprint pit file. So if you are stuck and unable to flash the stock software with odin then try the first things I mentioned first and if that fails then odin an official rom tar that includes the sprint pit file. (incremental monthly security patches usually do not contain a pit file. Only the first release of a major update will include a pit) The tar packages do check the current kernel so that's the first thing you want to get back to stock when odin fails to flash stock software. I posted this for reference incase others have this problem in the future.
