I soft bricked my phone, can I please get some help?

[AC Question]

soft bricked my phone, need help

I had a stock rooted verizon note 2 (sch-i605) running 4.3, wanted to enable OTA updates so I can get 4.4. I got triangleaway and reset flash counter, now I'm seeing "system software not authorized by verizon" message on boot. I tried flashing vruemj9 and vruand3 in Odin but it just fails. Any ideas? Here's the odin log:

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> I605VRUEMJ9_I605VZWEMJ9_I605VRUEMJ9_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<ID:0/003> FAIL!
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

On the device it says "sw rev. check fail device:3 binary:2"

Thanks in advance

I would try to find a system image online somewhere and flash that to the phone. Sounds like the update didn't complete correctly and left you in a bad state. I'd post a link, but I don't have enough posts for that yet.

You flashed it with adb with the flash boot loader, or just on the phone using recovery? You'd need to flash using flash bootloader with adb. Thats the only way I know of to completely re-flash everything
