you can always just flash the stock rom again with odin as long as you can get into download mode but you loose your data.
are you on 4.4.2 kitkat ? because if so, you need a new version of twrp (or use cwm). there is an unoffical version that supports kk and also the original twrp will get an update soon. theres currently a test build, look at the official thread.
dont use it if you are still on 4.3 !
I really really wish people would search and read before messing with their devices... this is the 800th thread on this again.
Take your battery out, and wait for 60seconds, put back in and try to boot into recovery mode, wipe cache and boot up - OR reflash Stock again.
PS: If you have a Hong Kong Note, you need to go off and read... cause you've made a massive mistake playing.

Check you have the right CF-Autoroot, if you got the latest one it won't work as it's for KK only try This One - In future please read more.

Use the link I posted before you flash stock again, boot into download mode and flash via Odin PDA and it should be fine

Nothing. Boot into download mode, and flash it via Odin. Job done. - Am I to assume that the CF autoroot I gave you didn't work?

Before going to the trouble of flashing the stock rom and try rooting again, why not flash the cf-autoroot radicalisto linked you to? It'll only take a minute to do it.

If you are on 4.4.2 rom , you have NO costum recovery, and the only way to get back too 4.2.2 is reflash STOCK rom KDZ files in Flash Tool ... See :::: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

hi mate
why you say odin will not let you install anything?
try to reflas rom again , use the latest stock rom available , odin will not let you flash roms with older bootloader than the one you have..

I did that just already, it worked, thanks. It was quite difficult to figure out wich one was the correct one but once i got it it was so easy.
anyway, thanks a lot Now if you point me out to a good ROM i would apreciate it, the default one from telcel its awful

SM-N915W8 Canadian NOTE EDGE

Hey just got my edge today, looks like there is very little going on as it was just released a few days ago despite it being out in the states for quite some time, the only difference I believe is the LTE in the Canadian version.
Anyways, coming from the note 2, 3 and 4 and the trtlecan version always being close to the trtletmo I decided to risk it and flash the tmo cf auto root and recovery despite there being no stock firmware laying around on sammmobile the others..
annnd I'm happy to report that I now have a TWRP recovery, rooted, SM-N915W8.
go ahead and follow the very detail steps in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993
MAKE SURE TO READ THE PART ABOUT IT FAILING (to flash cwm) AND THAT BEING OK being flashing TWRP
and then the BRIGHTNESS SETTINGS inside recovery which will look like you have sleep lock if you don't fix them before letting the screen timeout
and have all 4 files on hand before you start!
Awesome, thanks for the info, I was debating it but just was being a chicken. I'm glad everything worked out. Did you make a nand? If so did you flash the nand just to make sure everything was OK? Are your root apps working without issues.? I don't mind taking the risk...just wanna be sure

ok so i took the plunge and follow the steps from the link in OP that @gundal shared about his success
I Too have a rooted SM-N915W8 (BELL VERSION but im on TELUS)
Thank you for your insight @gundal
Awesome glad it worked out for you too, now we can experiment with which kernel and os will boot without fear of bricking
Yes, I tried reflashing the backup and all is good.
Hyperdrive didn't work even with restoring our boot sector (kernel)

Haha, i was reading through and just found it funny.
Glad you guys are having luck with the Canadian model. I jumped the gun and imported one from Korea as soon as it was released and it's an awesome device!
Enjoy!
Were you guys able to flash a custom ROM? Which ROMS will work with the Canadian version? And which US Model number is 'equivalent' to the Canadian one?

Anyone try any T-Moble stuff? I didnt look myself but I ask because we all used the tmoble stuff for our old Canadian Note3s ... could be the same senerio. I think that Tmoble kernels should work..
There might be a version of Hyperdrive for tmoble..

What recovery are you using cause Im on twrp and I cant make a backup, cache partition cant be mounted either, are you having this prob too?....
Dont worry about it, someone else who had this problem fixed it by formatting cache - did that and everything went fine.

Tried flashing Hyperdrive Edge for T-Mo with both twrp (2.8.1.1) and cwm (6.0.5.1 Xiaolu) referenced in the root guide by OP. They flashed without error but I got bootlooped both times. Luckily backup/restore works for both recoveries.
Does anyone know of a way to get back to stock recovery after flashing cwm or twrp? Any known location of a stock image?

Go to sammobile web site...download the original firmware for your model and flash it. When u flash original firmware everything will be back to stock including recovery..and you will be able to receive ota update. To flash stock firmware...just use odin. Search this forum for instruction on how to flash using odin.

Yeah I know about sammobile, flashing via Odin etc. There's no stock firmware uploaded for the Canadian variants yet so I was wondering of an alternate method to flash the stock recovery. I tried extracting the recovery from the stock image via ADB shell, converting to tar.md5, then flashing with Odin but it failed....likely because I'm rooted. Guess I'll have to wait until the firmware gets uploaded. Thanks anyway.
Try contacting the sammobile team...and their forum..they maybe able to help..

Not yet. I check daily. I'm hoping someone will be able to capture it via Kies when Lollipop rolls out. It's only matter of time before sammobile gets it.

Arg, that really bites. Now I have a new phone I cant use at all. You'd think the firmware would be released when the phone was. Have you tried the other roms? I can't even gwt onto my internal sd to put them on the phone so I can try installing them. So frustrated.

Its been a while since I installed it myself but from what I remember, I believe it only worked if it was flashed over the stock g2 kitkat (or jellybean) rom. I've never really used bootstacks myself so I don't really know which one to go for, however I'd assume you could start by looking for ones made for kitkat.
Personally, I would do a clean install of the stock kk rom, reroot, flash custom recovery, and then install cm11.
