I have recently purchased a galaxy note 2 and as I was reading the original development forums as a non-member I came across a cyanogen 10.1 port! I flashed this onto my phone along with the gapps for 4.1.2 this caused my phone to boot in and have error messages everywhere and I could not get out of them!!! I am going into panic mode!!! Is there any way to undo what I did?! I have not been able to find a stock rom for ATT that allows for a reset with Odin!? So is there any way to get me out of this predicament!?

Hit the thanks button on accident. Scott aka scrosler posted a rooted deodexed stock rom with the OTA from yesterday in the development section. Do a clean install and you should be ok.

Really sounds like you need to stop. Read. Read some more. And then some more. Before you brick your phone. The rom jyazzie mentioned is flashed the same way you put cm10.1 on your phone.

I have read as much as possible! the way I put it was incorrect I have no way of accessing my phone because as soon as I boot up it says there was an error starting gapps then it continues to say this indefinitely... so the only way to install any sort of fix for this would be from my computer!

To flash the rom by scrosler is the exact same way you flashed cm10. Before you do anything I suggest you take a few hours and read this over and over until you know what you are doing.

If you flashed cm 10.1 on your phone there is no way you have a stock recovery. Unless you've done something else that you haven't told us. I think we need more info.

Hey guys,
It's been a while.. so long I forgot my actual account password and no longer have access to the email address I used to create it. I've been on iOS for the last... 4-5 years now.
Anyway, I'm finally back now, got a Galaxy Note 3, and I've rooted it, and upgraded to 4.4.2 KitKat. I've tried to install CWM, and Odin says it passed (I've done this like 6 times now, trying different fixes I've found online, and none worked). Every time I try to boot into recovery, I get the following at the top of the screen:
1. RECOVERY BOOTING
2. RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
3. Set Warranty Bit: recovery
After this, the phone reboots, and takes me to the OS, which is different than most people, apparently it won't let them even boot so I suppose I'm lucky.
But if I didn't want a custom Rom on my Note, I wouldn't be here, someone please help.
that's weird, usually that blue 'recovery booting' means you are gonna get there.
a few things just for clarification: are you letting go of all the buttons as soon as you see that screen? and you do have the Tmo Note 3, yeah?
i hope you figure this out... it's gotta be something simple, i would think..
Did you root first using CF auto root?

Yeah, as soon as I see the screen I let go. Then it reboots into the KitKat OS I already had installed.
And yep, T-Mobile Note 3

I used this tutorial to root:

CF AutoRoot didn't work for me at first, I have it downloaded but couldn't get root access with it.
I have Root Access on KitKat tho, and it's working fine.

Philz seems to be the recovery of choice lately. Try it out. Works flawlessly for me.

I thought TOP didn't work on KitKat? I had it initially but it threw the same error so I thought it was the problem and switched to CWM.
Also. After a while these word captchas are horrible. I keep trying to answer them and it refuses to work. I didn't remember xda having them before.
Verify that you gave it the CWM for 4.4.x, not the CWM for 4.3. If it is the wrong version just give it the correct one.

Odin twrp, flash su. Followed the steps found on Galaxynote4root.com, worked without a hitch. As far as limitations, youll only be able to flash certain roms.

I think its because Sprint included a special lock on its latest upgrade that doesnt allow people to easily go back to their previous backups

You can restore your nand backups that you make with TWRP once you root and install custom recovery. What you can no longer do is "downgrade" the bootloader. There is finally a tar for the most current release so if you mess up you can ODIN back to stock and start over or get back to stock to take the 5.1 update once it drops.

That has not worked for me. I have tried both twrp and cm. I still have the stock recovery after two attempts with each of the custom recovery options.
I've also tried to use CF auto root multiple times with no success. I have had two updates since I purchased my phone about 1 month ago. I'm on version 5.0.1
My software version is N910PVPU3BOF5.
If anyone can be any help, I'd surely appreciate it.

In odin make sure you uncheck autoreboot, run odin like usual when its done and says pass, unplug phone, pull battery wait a couple of seconds put battery back in and hold volume up power and home button to enter recovery.

Hello, I just had the Sac23 GS6 rom put on my phone today. I've searched every place in that rom and there are no answers as to why my device won't activate, therefore without wifi I have no data. I have no force closes, no ItsOn issues, just won't activate. Any help would be appreciated. I've reflashed 3x already. Thanks!

I think I'd try the OG5 modem found in freeza ROM OP. Odin flash it over Sacs as freeza prescribes; first flash with no auto reboot and battery/USB pull when done. Second Odin flash with auto reboot. It should pop-up a "Android is finalizing" screen on initial boot. Just a thought. Maybe that helps get data going?

Ahhh... I also see it was suggested to try the Sprint Zone app; it also has the options to update PRL and Data profile.
Try that first if you haven't already. I hear more accolades for Zone app lately. I've always considered it bloat. I've found other ways to keep the PRL and Data Profile updates in Settings but rarely need it. I guess it's a matter of bloat preference.

Don't mean to mislead you, I didn't flash Sacs but noticed some were having data issues while others didn't.
You could search Zone.apk or pull it from another stock-ish ROM or try dialer code ##72786# (this will reboot your phone a time or two while attempting to provision your phone).
There was a Sacs update. Did you get that one and try it?

Update to OG5 let it boot as to update baseband
flash recovery
flash rom
Hello XDA community,
So I've owned the Note II since it came out basically. I used to ODIN custom recoveries and flash ROMs to it all the time. After the last update (4.4.2), I ODIN my phone back to stock to get the update; which of course included the dreaded KNOX. Afterwards, I just left it be due to the KNOX security and fear of messing up the phone. Long story short, I've been out of the loop for a couple of years and recently I've had the urge to try some of the newer ROMs and what not. More than likely this urge has spawned from the fact that I'll be doing away with my Note II soon, as it's very old and dated. So the fear of messing it up, has some what diminished.
So my question is... Is there anything special that I have to do before attempting to load a custom recovery after the 4.4.2 firmware update? Do I have to downgrade my current stock firmware first? Or is it still the same as it was before 4.4.2, just using ODIN to push the recovery and reboot? Any help is greatly appreciated! :victory:

Wow, Thanks for the quick response! Would you mind looking through these instructions right quick, and see if I'm safe to go with this method?
ROOT AT&T GALAXY NOTE 2 AND INSTALL TWRP RECOVERY
1.) Download and extract CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.zip to your PC. You’ll get an Odin flash-able file in the .tar.md5 format.
2.) Flash the CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.tar.md5 using Odin. You can follow our exclusive guide on flashing firmware using Odin
3.) During the CF Auto-root process, if the device is stuck at bootlogo, remove the battery and boot into recovery mode manually to start the rooting process.
4.) Once the flashing process is finished, reboot the device and open the SuperSU app. If you encounter any KNOX warnings, then follow the instructions given in our KNOX disabling guide
5.) If everything is fine on the rooting end, download the latest Odin flash-able TWRP recovery from the Official TWRP page
6.) The recovery is in the form of .tar package, flash it using the Odin guide
7.) Reboot the device into recovery mode and check if the recovery is installed properly.
That looks like the right one. Been awhile my note is still going. Getting oppo r7s soon. But yes looks correct. Good flashing.

Not sure where I went wrong. I factory reset my phone before I even started. Pushed the ROOT using ODIN 3.10. Everything went fine, the phone rebooted and came back with "SuperSU stopped working" ,"Youtube stopped working", "Maps stopped working." Unable to open any of those apps. I factory reset again, and cleared the cache, but still no luck. Any suggestions for me?

Tried to re-flash SuperSU, but still no luck. However, after all the other apps finished updating - I can use youtube and maps again. yay! lol.
By re-flashing stock, do you mean using ODIN to push a stock firmware back over to the phone? Did the stock 4.4.2 firmware ever leak out after release?
By the way, I really appreciate your advice on all this.
I did a 4.3 stock. Then I flashed DN3. But yeah gapps can be a pain too. Slipped my mind lol.
