[Q] Note 2 Stuck in Bootlop, Failing to flash root in Odin - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hi there,
I'm trying to fix my sister's Note 2. It is stuck in bootloop. I've rooted my GS2 without any problems, but odin is failing with the Note 2. Here's what I get:
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/003> cache.img
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Some more info: trying to flash "cwm6-root-note2.tar" as the PDA file, and also unsure whether the phone currently runs on stock 4.2 or 4.3, im unable to check since it's stuck in bootloop. I realize there might be a whole new problem if its on 4.3, was just wondering what my best option is right now. I've done some reading here on XDA and can't figure out whats the best thing to do.
Any input is greatly appreciated!

Sorry wrong forum, you're in the galaxy s4 forum...try reposting over in the Note 2 forums

I tried multiple Stock ROMs and I get the same error. Do you know of a legit one? The ones I had could've been corrupt.
What device do you have?

You may have to try the kitkat rom.

Is there a way to find out what I'm on without being able to elsewhere except download?
EDIT: I get the same error with that ROM.
EDIT #2: I got it to work!!! Thanks so much guys!

Stuck in bootloop from trying to downgrade from 5.0 to 4.2

As the title says, I tried to downgrade from lollipop 5.0 to 4.2 because I've had several issues and I also wanted to get root. I think part of my mistake was I wiped data/factory reset before I flashed AP. Any help would be much appreciated, as I have been at this for the past five hours. I added some info below that might help below. Thanks
- I cannot boot into recovery and get the message (Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again)
- CP is the only thing that will flash and CSC also fails
- model number is g900a AT&T
- I have used Odin 3.10.7 and 3.09, but no luck

Hey I have also experienced the same thing before, I was panicking that time, so I fixed it by flashing the old zip file, if that does not work try following the instructions your phone gave eg. Go to kies

Kies and kies3 are both not recognizing my device. I heard it could be because of usb debugging, but I can't boot into my phone to check.

Same issue here, I think you need to find a more recent version of the file - which I can't find at the moment
did you not make a back up before rooting your phone , either on your phone or smart switch so that you can revert to stock rom if needed.
all threads advise backing before flashing in case some thing like this happens.

Help needed loading custom recovery...

First off I'm a total noob. I rooted, installed a custom recovery, and custom OS on my last phone (Samsung Galaxy Nexus) about 4 years ago copy and pasting online guides and that's the extent of my knowledge.
Now my wife got an s7 and I inherited her Samsung s4 (Verizon). Loaded with android version 5.1
My plan was to install LineageOS, but I've ran into a ton of problems along the way.
I was trying to use Odin to load a custom recovery, but it was never successful.
I followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468187
and now it doesn't boot, I can't even get into recovery.
sorry for the lack of details with the post, but now I'm lost and don't really have a known direction where to head from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
So after leaving the phone alone for a while it now is able to boot to the stock OS. I still have root through KingoRoot.
I'm running into the same problem when I try to load TWRP with odin.
Here is the odin log:

great so I'm ****ed. Thanks verizon. Why the **** even have a goddamn bootloader if it's ****ing useless then
Every phone needs a bootloader and I believe Verizon and AT&T lock the bootloader to prevent people from messing with the phone, possibly screwing it up, and making a warranty claim.

Back to stock from Beta One UI on the GS8

Having a difficult time here.... I've got a Galaxy s8 Sprint variant.. I downloaded the Beta one UI firmware, not official just used ODIN. I'd like to go back to stock and update to newest official release, or just go straight to the latest release. I don't care if it's rooted/unlocked or whatever just stock Sprint software. I've tried a couple of stock firmwares but I keep getting errors in Odin. Currently I"m on PDA G950U1UEU5ZSAB CSCG950U1OYM5ZSAB .
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

2 things I can see
1. Use Odin version 3.13.1 it supports the new compression format of newer firmware.
2. The software check fail is due to trying to flash older firmware than what is on your phone. You will need to download firmware with a bootloader version 5 ( 5th number from right of firmware(PDA) name ).
OP can you confirm if it worked?
Hey, THanks a ton.. worked! I don't think I woulda figured that out unless I would have happened to tried a rom with the correct bootloader version. Really appreciate it. One more thing.. which should I use normally.. the home_csc or the csc. I've been using the home one since that's what I see a majority of people using but I don't see any explanation.
thanks again!

Glad you got it sorted
Home_CSC - will keep your apps and data.
CSC - clean install same as a factory reset.
