Hi there,
My beloved Note 2 all of a sudden got into loop mode and after that it started to just show the green man with Downloading showing under it but I hope it is not bricked as it is still in very good overall conditions.
I've never rooted it or put it in developers mode so I guess that's why I cannot get the recovery mode.
I tried using Kies for recovery but it fails.
I've downloaded Odin but can only find images from carriers and mine was factory unlocked from UK.
I've found the temporary file that Kies downloads and puts in zip format but this must be encrypted or password protected as I cannot un-zip it to see if it is in the same format as images from the links provided here.
I will miss it if I cannot bring it back from the brink of the dustbin.
I guess that I can only use odin with the device in developers mode as it does not seem to respond to odin either.
Any tips on what else I should try short of making it into an expensive paperweight?
Update:
Odin mode says:
Product name: GT-N7100
Current binary: Samsung Official
System status: Official
Knox warranty void: 0
AP SWRev: A2
Best wishes,
Wovens
The n7100 was purchased in an unlocked state or from a carrier and then unlocked?
Once network unlocked, the phone should remain unlocked after flashing a stock rom.

I was wondering if I possibly have a custom bootloader and can downgrade to carrier unlock?
Odin mode reads as follows
Product Name: SGH-I747
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable
Warranty Bit: 1
Bootloader RP SWREV: 3
OP? Anyone?
Thanks! !!!!
No and no. There are no custom bootloaders for this device.
Once you've been updated to 4 3 or newer you cannot go back and you can't unlock without a code.
Thanks DocHoliday77. I was on family mobile using a Samsung Galaxy Light while my AT&T sat idle waiting for an unlock. I decided to switch to Straight Talk just to use my S3 and I'd have to say I'm happy again. Straight Talk works surprisingly great in my area. Just happy to be using my S3 again. I thank you again and all the developers here on XDA for you wisdom and your time. Very talented folks here!

I am using samsung note 2 verizon android 4.4.2
From reading online. I believe that it's because my bootloader is locked. I must first unlock the bootloader , then i can root it,
How would i go about unlocking this bootloader? I can't seem to find anywhere how to unlock the bootloader.
i was running 6.0.1 i was trying to downgrade to 4.4.4 but i messed and put the csc where the ap was supposed to go. so i did it the way i was supposed still a fail. i need a file that will work and root to if its possible. i know sm-n910a is a difficult model. i would have downloaded from sammobile but they dont have any stock firmware for this model. every time ive rooted or changed firmware on my other galaxy devices ive used ap/pda that's what threw me off. after that i tried flashing back to 6.0.1 stock. now im in a boot loop.
odin mode (high speed)
product name:SM-N910A
current binary: Samsung official
system status: official
reactivation lock: off
knox warranty void: 0x0
qualcomm secureboot: enable (csb)
rp swrev: s1 t2 r1 a2 p1
secure download : enable
udc start

So, what happens if you try putting it back to Download Mode and reflashing the 6.0.1 correctly this time?
my friend rooted his device but stupidly turned off OEM and now his device won't turn on
I tried looking for an international firmware and flashed it on Odin but it got stuck at recovery.img, been like that for an hour,
Is it because OEM is locked? (so is FRP by the way)
Do I have to enable a setting from Odin?
he has an S9+ G965F dual SIM, he bought it from Spain but says its an international model, he doesn't seem to find the country code anywhere on the box
I need help and everything is appreciated, the sooner the better, thanks!
Check in download mode which version Bootloader the phone is running (B:1 or B:2) and match it with the firmware you are flashing, you cannot downgrade the Bootloader
G960FXXU2BRGA <<< Version 2 BL
Fixed!

He managed to fix it himself, I was using Odin with TeamViewer from my computer to his laptop, and I think that messed with something as he repeated the exact same steps after I disconnected and worked flawlessly
Thanks everyone that helped and the community offering help!
hello forum friends I come with this little problem which is that when I flash this phone takes the flash well but I stuck the samsung s4 mini i9192 duos and above I get some blue letters that says recovery booting. I can enter in the recovery mode and I realized that when I put it in download mode it comes out at the end with some letters that says write protection: enable and half lei that say that because it is enabled, it does not let the system flash to the cell phone.
because the help I need is how to disable that option or some other medium where I can install the software.
PD: I do not know what version the cell phone had since it was brought to me because it was frozen and flashed with several flash and always gives me that problem taking into account that the flash that I put on are good because they are the ones I use with other phones of this same model. it's the first one that comes up with that option
thanks for your help
