I m afraid using odin would erase everything.
I want to save my data, what should I do? Which rom do i use?
If you flash a ROM you wipe out all your data - any ROM.
I tried downloading 3 to 4 roms but they all failed in odin.
It has to be one specifically written for your model Note 2.
At this point, I am also ready to just give up and restore factory settings.
If you can get to recovery (volume up instead of volume down that gets you to download), try reading
Recovering files via adb (Post #22).
I went to the at&t technicans, who are completely useless and they used their roms and couldnt help at all.
They're good, but not as good as some of the people on XDA. They fix or replace phones, they don't make Linux play tricks (like some of the people on XDA do).
