SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 TOOLKIT V3.0.0 [18TH DEC 2012] RELEASED!!

This release is a very big update and has soo many changes I can't list them all above.

There is no Auto Update available to V3.0.0 as the new file structure I have adopted means the Auto Update is nearly as big as the full version. Please download the full version from the first post and then you can Auto Update to future versions from there.

You can use your existing code to reactivate but if you install the new version over the old one then it should automatically reactivate.

can this toolkit V3.0.0 apply to Galaxy Note (1) ??
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
If I put my phone in download mode, will it always show "downloading...".. should I wait for this to disappear or just go ahead and connect.

@mskip : If my model is GT-N7100 ALJ1, why do I have to select the ALJ3 file according to the setup?

Is there something I'm missing? How long should a flash last? Mine seems to just hang halfway. Could You please help me out here - I'm gettting frantic and I'm feeling I'm close to bricking my phone...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] hoomanm:
Can this tool reset the counter on downloading page? I mean the number of times you've flashed your phone using Odin.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
No definitely not you will most probably brick your device if you try it.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
If my device still boots normally after a failed attempt at rooting it, is it still fine?

I cannot get it rooted with this toolkit...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
If you reboot to Download Mode via the Toolkit (adb reboot download) then it will just show the green android man (or lady) with downloading... underneath which means its in download mode and ready for flashing.

There is very little (if any) difference in boot images between builds on the same number (i.e. ALJ1 and ALJ3) and I cannot possibly add every single build so builds that are close can share the same image. ALJ3 is newer than ALJ1 and will be perfectly compatable.

Flashing a boot or recovery image will only take a few seconds. If it hangs during the process and won't complete then pull the battery and usb cable, replace the battery and reboot back to download mode (volume down,Home and power buttons for a few seconds, then press volume up when asked) and try the flash again.

As long as you can get back into downlad mode then you can restore your device so dont worry too much.

If you can't root with options 1,2 or 3 then try the Recovery root options (4 and 5).

Mark.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
I've tried this about 10 times last night - NO go...

Can I assume that if I wait for about 2 minutes after pressing start and it doesn't say PASSED, that it hanged?

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 TOOLKIT AUTO UPDATE V3.1.0 [21ST DEC 2012] AVAILABLE!!

Changelog:

+Added CWM 6.0.2.5 Recovery Images for ATT, LTE, Sprint, TMobile + Verizon

+Updated all the root/unroot procedures for more stability

+Added Sideload any zip file via Custom Recovery [CWM or TWRP] to Main Menu

+Added support for TMOBILE [SGH-T889] build JRO03C ALK8

+Added option to disable Verizon Start Info Screen via Toolkit Settings

+Changed NAND Restore path to /data/media to support JB4.2 [when it arrives to the device]

For people who do not want or cannot get the Auto Update versions you can download cwm touch from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and use the Toolkit to create a tar file and flash it via odin. The Toolkit just makes it ALLOT easier.

I have uploaded all of my toolkits to goo.im so if you ever need to download one click on the link in my sig.

[Auto Updates are only accessible if you have donated to the Toolkit project, received an activation code and unlocked the donator features. Auto Updates are a much faster and easier way of pushing small updates that would otherwise not be worth doing. I can push a single textual change or add support for a new build without having to go through the whole process of building a full version and uploading a large file. IF you are not able to or do not want to donate to unlock the Auto Update feature (and other donator features) then all the smaller updates are collated and a full build made when I have time or if there are enough updates to warrant it. This is the easiest way to make sure all the Toolkits are as up to date as possible. IF you have any views about this please pm me about them and do not post in the open thread]

Enjoy :)

Mark.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
Yes you are correct.

Can you post a screenshot of odin when it hangs so I can check it.

Mark.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
I will definitely do so as soon as I get home from work :) Thanx for helping out...

PS : From what I see on youtube, a progress bar should appear on the phone - THIS does NOT happen...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
No problem im sure it can be sorted out. Also make sure anything that may interefere with Odin is uninstalled like Samsung Kies (Odin doesnt like it much).

it works with indian rom also.

mskip.

I´ve just bought my note 2 , and I´m on Brazil, the phone was assembled here in Brasil, and i posted a picture with the information about BB, Kernel, Build, etc.

I was an Optimus 2X user, and on it, I rooted and installed easily many roms until I found one good to me.

on N7100, i saw on your toolkit, that I may choose a Build, the build of my phone is not listed, but as i could understand, i can choose the one most equal to mine...

So is it really safe ? is this phone as unbrieakable as optimus 2x was :)

is it possible to backup the stock rom, and go back to it afterwards ? I understand about Samsung has a counter for flashing roms, is there a LIMIT or if the counter says 1 the warranty is lost ??

I See that it´s possible to reset the counter, and i´m gonna research for that , but if you could help to clear my mind a little bit, i´ll be very thankfull.

Sorry for the bad english :)

Marcos.

I already flashed tons of roms on my notes 1 & 2, and I never saw any triangle, counter etc. etc...not once.

It's all about how you root and flash stuff on your phone

Read, research, read, and read more, before doing stuff to your phone...

This toolkit didn't do it for me. After using it to setup CMW, I discovered IMEI gone.Fortunately was able to recover with LJ5 on SamMobile. Subsequently, tried to use toolkit to root and also faced same problem.

Gave up and redo root and CMW manually. Of course I needed to recover again with LJ5 on Odin. Was all goof after that. But was really a close call.

When I backed up my EFS, I got both efs.img and efs.tar.

Now, I tried backing up for my friend, and we got only efs.img.. Is that OK? would he be able to restore the partition easily?

@Mark

So I moved on from DLK7 to DLL4

Ran the latest version of the Toolkit and re-rooted ,installed busy-box , insecure image, CWM recovery etc etc just for testing purposes since I got the pre-rooted, No-wipe version of the DLL4 international.

Since DLL4 is not available within the tool, I picked DLK7 from the menu (of course)

Everything worked flawlessly again just like the first time I used the Toolkit when I was on ALJ1 ( or something like that i don't remember anymore)

I just didn't like the new CWM ( v6.0.1.9) so I flashed the v 6.0.1.5 back, which is hybrid/touch unlike 6.0.1.9, also to avoid eventual problems based on some reports I read before over here.

Allow me to make one suggestion:

Add CWM 6.0.1.5 to the toolkit 3.0 and choice menu, so users will have the option to choose between 6.0.1.5 (touch/hybrid) en 6.0.1.9 (non-touch and possibly giving more problems according to some reports).

And a tip for the other users:

I got a pre-rooted, NO-Wipe, deodexed zipaligned DLL4 versin from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1915386

For those who want to try a NO-WIPE install of pre-rooted, deodexed (or not) zipaligned stock roms, no triangle, no nothing :good:

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] WM_Rizzo:
I still have issues with my device. For some reason, the user interface gets very choppy as described here. My device is N7100XXALIE N7100BUALI7 VFGALIA yet the only available stock firmware for my country and carrier is N7100XXALIJ N7100VFGALIC. Is it safe to flash that version for warranty? Do they check for the same firmware that was on the phone or do they just check for the root?

I unrooted via the AIO tool, and Triangle Awayed, double wiped cache, wiped data, again wiped cache, but the device is still modified. When I go into recovery, there's no yellow triangle in sight. I guess it's custom binary that's set to yes then. I keep reading that the only way to get rid of the modified status is to flash stock. Should I do that, given the mismatch in builds? And will that reset the custom binary to no? Perhaps it's the build that's causing the UI problem, since everyone here (using Croatian stock) seems to be using a diferent one?

For the record, IMEI is visible, and eveything works great, except the fact that UI and opening/closing apps get very, very choppy.

Fantastic Service to Humankind

MSKIP,

I really really appreciate all the work you put into this tool. You should be nominated for some kind of award with all the support you give people as well.

Donation coming your way, and not because of the update feature; because you make stuff possible for people like me!

Thanks very much,

Chris.

It's weird, I try to backup, but only get a few small files:

My first time using this ToolKit, once I run it It asks me for the device model and build.

My phone shows Build number JRO03C.N7100XXALIH which I can't find ALIH from the ToolKit, does that mean I can't root this phone ?

From the list I only see the following.

JRO03C ALIE

JRO03C ALJ1

JRO03C ALJ3

JZ054K DLK7

Can someone give me some feedback on this ?

Suspicious internet activity...

hi all,

I've just downloaded toolkit 3.0.0 for a test drive and since I have a 2-way firewall, I noticed some suspicious internet activity :eek:

either the toolkit is * without my consent * connecting to the internet, or my phone is connecting to the internet through the toolkit.

Anyway, It is undesired. I'll try a packet inspector this evening to see what is happening exactly...

Anyone else experienced this?

EDIT: at first glance, adb-toolkit.exe (part of this Toolkit, and the file that is causing the suspicious behavior) is a renamed version of the commonly used adb.exe (same size). I compared the two files, and they are not identical. When I uploaded the file to Jotti, it found nothing though. confused...

EDIT2: in no way am I implying the mskips toolkit contains an infected file. It seems like a VERY nice package. I am just wondering about the unwanted internet traffic of one component.

Hi all,

I am thinking about rooting my phone ad well only a few things are not clear to me. Does the rooting leave the stock room on it except for the rooted part?

Nothing has changed, so I still cannot make any backups.

Please help! Since backups are very important, it would be very nice when it works again.

The device is rooted with cwm.

The backup of the EFS seems to work - at least I have a efs.img file of 20,971,520 bytes.

All other NANDROID backups seem to fail, despite the 12Gb free memory on external card and 2.08Gb free on internal 'card'.

The files in \\mnt\ExtSdCard\Clockworkmod\Backup\2012-01-03.08.27 are exactly equal to the files on my computer, but the nandroid.md5 file is still 0 bytes. boot.img and recovery.img are both 8,388,608 bytes.

Adb-toolkit.exe is just the google adb.exe file that I renamed as people who already had it installed were running into problems. I have not altered it in any way so if it is sending packets without your consent then you would have to do some googling to find out how it works but as its a communication app the packets may be just standard protocol. I guess you have to trust google on that one :)

As for the Toolkit its perfectly safe and nothing malicious has or will ever be added.

What file is it that you are trying to flash or does it fail on everything? I see its not a Toolkit file.
