Verizon Galaxy Note II Bricked?

[hyllus]

I was trying to update my Verizon Note 2 (SCH-i605) from 4.1.1 to KitKat. Unfortunately, my boot loader was locked and now all I get is a 'System software not authorized by Verizon...' screen at boot. I've try several tutorials using Odin to restore stock but nothing works. Has anyone else had trouble doing this? Is my phone permanently bricked?

Not sure if you can flash an older stock version if your phone actually took the newer KitKat version and then got stuck. But see this thread for more info: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...note2-return-100-stock-updated-5-12-13-a.html

Or this one if you're interested in a stock rooted ROM: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...ease-select-recovery-mode-kies-try-again.html

Thanks Synycalwon. I got it back up and running. It seemed the problem was trying to flash back to stock with a rooted version. When I used the unrooted, it worked fine.
