SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 TOOLKIT AUTO UPDATE V3.1.5 [3RD JAN 2013] AVAILABLE!!

Changelog:

+Fixed CWM Recovery Images for ATT, LTE, Sprint, TMobile + Verizon from last Auto Update (Images hadn't been tarred for Odin so couldn't be detected)

+Fixed link in download section

+Made a few other small operational fixes

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.

[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 :)

Hi Mark,

Did you see my screen shot about my Note 2 not flashing? Can you please help and advise?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dXsL:
why are you using Odin 1.85? try a newer version to see if this gives a different result. I normally use 3.04 and Mark's toolkit contains version 3.07 (can be found in the root of his Toolkit application folder).

Furthermore, avoid using "special characters" such as a space in a path or filename (e.g., your "E:\Applications Backups\..." folder. Unix tools by default cannot handle spaces. Some tools are adapted for use in Windows, but not all. I use folder names such as c:\util\adb, c:\util\odin, c:\util\toolkit etc.

Last tip (this is where I get on thin ice). I read something that older root packages (<okt2012) contained a 5MB cache partition in the layout. Could it be, that this is not enough for the particular thing you are trying to flash? And/or check here for another version of the cwm package for your specific note2: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

tnx. donation has been sent :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
1] I've used ALL possible ODINs available on the net.

2] Thanx for the tip about the special characters - will try and resolve this...

3] I have the GT-N7100. I've ONLY downloaded stuff related to my Note 2.

Not exactly sure what you meant in your "last tip"

I've tried ODIN 3.04 and with NO special characters in the path... - NO GO...

It just gets to cache.img and stays there...

Is it possible to brick the phone if the bootloader is still secure?

Latest 2 tries as follow (even removed battery between tries)

Tried again with this toolkit 3.0.0 and still it just stays on boot.img

Do you think if I go to the Samsung service center and tell them that I don't care about the warranty, will they root it for me?

Be aware with CWM 6.0.1.9

It seems it got incompatibilities issues with Aroma installers, among other possible issues

The prior 6.0.1.5 is doing fine

Or try the some newer versions from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2000138

I posted already about it, even sent a PM to OP, but he didn't react to it.

I am testing the	KashaMalagaTOUCHCWMRecovery-V6.0.2.7.zip right now which I flashed with this toolkit, and it's doing fine but it ain't touch.

And I dont have Aroma anymore to test it further ...

i rooted my device successfully but whenever i restart my phone, it takes ridiculous amount of time (10-20mins) to boot up. does anyone know why ?

i installed the CWM recovery and SuperU.

I did send you a message im guessing you didnt get it but I will add 6.0.1.5 back as an alternative.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
Well it really shouldnt do that. Try flashing back the Stock Boot Image for your build and see if that makes any difference.

New VODA firmware need help

Hi guys, hope you can advice. I have rooted my phone by using the Note2 Tool.

Vodafone UK today has just released a new firmware via Kies: PDA:LL4/ PHONE: LL1/ CSC: LL2 (VOD). My current detected firmware by Kies is : LIJ/ Phone: LI8/ CSC: LIC (VOD).

Kies will not let me upgrade to the latest firmware with a popped up message of " my phone has had a customised software etc etc etc.

Where can I get this latest firmware and how would I flash it to the phone?. Using Note2 Tools? or better still to flash back to the original Vodafone UK firmware so I can used their upgrade.

Thanks in advance.

Backup Internal SD

I am unable to backup my internal sdcard .... It appears to be starting to work but then I get an error "0 files" pulled

Any suggestions?

I'm running the latest Phoenix ROM
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] alexander7:
thanks

i flashed the N7102 stock (because that was the original ROM version) and everything is back to normal.

does that mean N7102 is not supported ? my build number ends in ALK3 and it's not listed in adb. can i use the ALJ3 which is listed under N7100 ?

thanks in advance.

I think it is a shame that you can only download version 3.0.0 while you have to pay to get the 3.1.5 version which has some changes which are essential to the toolkit working correctly.

The updates are:

Starting ADB...

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

Do you want to check if an Update is available [type yes or no]?yes

Checking Updater Availability..

Update server located

Update Checker now starting..

hello someone can help me???i have the international n7100 and my build is the stock jr003c alj3 and just root it.When i rooted the phone from toolkit i choose the option to root all in one to install custom recovery and etc and my recovery option was to install clockworkmode recovery,everything goes very well my phone root it but when i press vol up home button and the power to go to the clockworkmode recovere not go and the samsung logo show me twice to the half screen like bricked but when i press the power on the stock rom boot normally i have su program but i cannot run clockworkmode.What i must to do????

Very sorry for my pad english
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phistachio:
It's normal, don't worry ;)

Just get on the toolkit again, choose your version, and then choose option 5 which is "Flash Custom Recovery", and from that point on flash whatever you want. I recommend TWRP and SuperSU ;)

Option 5 of the toolkit will do the trick :) But I recommend you to use TWRP, it's a much better custom recovery IMO.

I disagree. It doesn't have any breakthrough changes actually. The main thing works flawlessly. It's his way of having a donation for his hardwork, and as soon as I get some money, I'll do too. I see this thing completely fair, since it's just a reward for his work.

Except the one in bold, that is one that should be made available for everyone, but the rest I see no issue in being donators-only.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] betoNL:
Better than this enhnaced one? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2028103

How does TWRP handles Aroma installers btw?

+1 !

Developments such this one should be appreciated in form of a small donation

Thousands and thousands of users profit from such developments and don't even bother to press the thanks button or leave some feedback, not mention donations

I created some bootanimations that took me lots of time that I don't really have and decided to share them on my thread.

After almost 3000 downloads, only something like only 20 users cared to press the thanks button or leave some feedback

And then I decided not to waste my time anymore creating and sharing new stuff which is not really that important anyway...

I hope that developers such as MSKIP will keep sharing their great and more usefull work, despite of all these ungrateful leachers and whiners .

If a developer have to somehow, "condition" donations, so that will be it ...whatever works ...

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phistachio:
Sounds like a good mod for CWM! Never tried it, but for now I'm pretty happy with TWRP, it's flawless and it backs up and flashes stuff much quicker. Plus, in the backup menu, I can backup everything separately, like /efs, /cache, modem, boot.img, system, etc, and name it differently.

Woah, that sucks big time for people that actually put a lot of effort on things... :/ But that's life I guess...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] robi54321:
Hello there!

I have just a little question here.

I'm tried to root the phone and chose ALLINONE in the rooting menu, TWRP, superSU, phone plugged, debugging is on, everything's fine, double checked the drivers but when odin opens up it won't detect my phone (the COM box stays white).

The strange thing is, when I open Odin manually it detects the phone, it only happens when I use the toolkit.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Robert

EDIT: Actually I managed to make it detect the phone (plugged into another usb port) but I get this error:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] colint3:
That is my point version 3.1 has not been released and the fix to cwm of v3.1 has not been released so to actually get the fix to cwm he has to release version 3.1.5 and until he does people could be making errors when using his software and I will not give a donation UNTIL he releases version 3.1.5
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
The only thing I can suggest is that in the root section of the toolkit you can push an unroot zip file that I made to remove root/busybox and cwm manager from your phone (effectively putting it back to pre-root status). When you want root back you can easily reroot and anything else you want to do via the toolkit.

As you are a master, i want to share my problem with you if you can help...I posted it in Dr. Ketan thread too cause you both are the best.

So:

''Dr. Ketan (or anyone else can help), i have problem with pc connection (win7 64).

MTP cant installed (failed).If someone google this problem can find lot of people with this and also with a pop message of windows when plugged the phone that said ''hardware ID missing''!!!

Here is a thread in our forum with issue.Here another one.

And here is what i have tried:

I want to mention that i had the problem with ''hardware id missing'' in my previous sgsiii phone.But when i installed samsung kies worked ok in first time.After 2-3 days i had the same problem and started again with unistall/install samsung drivers.

Now, nothing worked...:(

Do you think that is some registry error and PC need format???I will kiss anyone can help me without format solution!!!:p

Doctor, which is the therapy??????''
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] silvatyrant:
Hey Mark,

Thanks for the advice. I've managed to disable root access from within SuperSU. Don't know if it was due to initial oversight on my part or whether the update added this feature. But anyway, I can now "unroot" my device with relative ease.

Thanks again!

Fantastic tool, mskip! Used it yesterday when I brought my new Note II home from the shop. Will probably invest in the donate version since this tool really made things easy for me, I just wanted to get my phone rooted and flashed so I could get to playing around with it, and this tool really made things very straightforward indeed!

The only strange thing for me is no serial shows up, but the tool does still work flawlessly. I had a bit of a fight with the driver installation because I couldn't get any serial to show up. In the end I figured I would try rooting to see if it would work even though I had no serial on top. Everything went smoothly! :victory:

Can i use Feature No:#18 of this toolkit to create an Odin flash-able .tar from a CWM .img BUT for my Samsung Galaxy S3?? I downloaded this tool, and already tried to convert a CWM img to .tar and i was able to successfully create the .tar, But when i compared the MD5 of the tar with a copy i downloaded from someones post (which i successfully flashed onto my S3) the MD5's didn't match, HOWEVER, the MD5's of the .imgs inside both .tars matched, My question is that am i able to flash the .tar i converted with this tool to my S3?? Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I am basically looking for a method to convert CWM .img files into Odin flash-able tars not just for my S3, but for my friends phones too like the Google Nexus, or S3 i747 or T999, or Galaxy S2 etc Thanks again!

skip can i use dlk7 for dll7 in your toolkit ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phistachio:
Yup, you can, used it on DLL4.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mskip:
Version 3.1.0 AND 3.1.5 are both Auto Updates so if you didnt have the Auto Update in the first place then you wouldnt need a fix for cwm. The only thing that was wrong with cwm in V3.1.0 was that I forgot to tar up all the images so they couldnt be selected or flashed in Odin. No error could be made there or by using the software. The 5 images were tarred and V3.1.5 pushed quickly so that the cwm builds could be flashed but in the update post I also stated that if you didnt have the Auto Update version you could very simply download the latest cwm from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager, copy it to the INPUT folder in the Toolkit and create an Odin flashable tar using option 16 from the Main Menu in the Toolkit. All perfectly free without any donation needed.

I have stated many many times why I make Auto Update version and at present I am towards the end of a major update to the unified S3 Toolkit so cannot switch to making a full release for the Note 2 Toolkit. What you choose to do is totally upto you :)

The bootloader has been updated by samsung with the latest build which may cause some problems I will have to look at.

Hi there. I installed, updated to 3.1.5 and ran the toolkit. After installing the drivers I pressed 2 for root and 3 for ALLINONE (Clockworkmod/SuperSU combo), but got stuck at the Odin window at "SetupConnection.."

Tried different cables and went all around my pc to try out every USB plug, then searched the forum some more and tried solutions posted by other people, but nothing worked, Odin simply doesn't make it past "SetupConnection..". :eek:

The toolkit program itself usually stopped at that point, but twice when I put the USB cable in again after closing Odin, the toolkit still tried to finish the installation (it didn't work, but fortunately it also didn't brick the phone).

Is there maybe an alternative to using Odin in this setup? My cables work fine in any other situation, so I somehow cannot believe they're the reason for this problem.

he followed the guide and didnt have any problem until at the 6 minutes, at the flashing via odin where there is message on screen : "Downloading do not turn off target"... the progress bar is stucked, he waited for more than 30 minutes, and he panicked, he unplug the usb cable from PC.
