Wow, I mean wow is this slick, so easy, so nice this tool kit is BOSS! seriously awesome work to everyone involved in not only the toolkit, but the rooting and recovery, everything so freakin' slick!

I was so excited to get this phone I didn't even consider rooting it until I was standing in the store paying for it, then It was like someone kicked me in the gut, I hope they can get root on this pretty quick, no way did I think it would be the first day, let alone this full blown tool kit so soon.

So yeah, once again nice job!

Triangle away must be used while rooted right before you flash back a stock rom and recovery. Search the general section of forum, seems like I seen same issue about the activation thing, seems they flashed stock and did a update profile and fixed that issue, not sure. Hardware id issue try to reinstall drivers, a different usb cable, or a different usb port.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Steve In Orlando:
I've tried 3 cables...all work up until Odin. Odin does not come up with anything under the ID:COM box. My phone is in download mode. What do I do to stop the process? I assume I can get out of Download mode, but the device says, "Do not turn off target". I'm nervous about doing a battery pull....

Any ideas?

UPDATE: GOT IT. I just had to close Odin, unplug everything, plug it back in, restart ODIN. Phone Detected..Happily rooted.

THANKS for such a GREAT toolkit! Worked like a charm.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattsm:
Glad you got it,

Generally most people get excited(nervous) on first time use. What happens drivers are being installed for each postition of device, such as at system boot, recovery mode, download mode. After first time use, this will not happen again.

After I install drivers for a device, I put the phone in all of them modes and make sure drivers are installed for each position before I go any further.

Now when you run tool kit again or what ever you do with device, when you hook up usb, all should be good.

After getting my phone rooted, it looks like I am not able to get my phone updated. Whenever I hit install when it says that there's an update, the phone reboots and tries to install for a bit then I get the red triangle ! and then it just reboot again. So it seems like I get get the new updates. Any idea or help? Thanks

Hello all,

I'm supposed to be getting my Galaxy Note 2 tomorrow from VERIZON and I wanted to know if this will Root it as well. I know that the YouTube video says that the root works for all Variants but I watched the whole thing and it didn't have anything in there for Verizon, so I thought it might mean for all currently released variants.

Can anyone confirm if this toolkit is being modified to incorporate the Verizon root? If so, by when?

Thank you!

-Taxmaster

Would love to know this myself!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] StevetotheH:
And the developer says,"NOTE: If you want your carrier added to the Toolkit then download and install, flash CWM Recovery and make a NAND Backup (changing the backup format to 'tar' first). Send me the boot.img file and I will root and add it."
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] idle0095:
So any one confirm if this root tool kit will work work VZW Note 2????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
I don't think you're going to find many will confirm here, since it's for the Sprint Variant. I would try the Verizon variant or the general subforums wihich covers all variants.

I believe it the verizon just released their GN2. If it hasn't been rooted yet, it's only a matter of time. .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JimSmith94:
I didn't see this mentioned here, so apologies if I missed it.

I rooted my new Sprint Note 2 and installed TWRP 2.3.1.1 with the ToolKit V2.0. When I attempted to do a Nandroid backup, TWRP wouldn't recognize my new SanDisk 64GB microSD card. A quick Google search led me to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1988220

I checked for a newer version and installed TWRP 2.3.2.3 with GooManager. It recognizes the card, and the Nandroid is running now. :) Hope this helps someone else in the same boat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pastorvor:
Just wanted to add my thanks, from an extremely novice user terrified of ruining his very expensive device.

My experience... (to be taken as a NOVICE/NEW user to maybe assuage any fear you, another novice/new user may have)

Make sure you do not have KIES installed. Check in "programs"

Make sure you have enabled USB debugging on your phone

Install this kit... it is complete and has all things needed to do a simple root of the note 2 sprint.

Follow the directions. For simply rooting the phone you just select your phone from the list...

(My Note 2 had a slightly different build number)

My build number was: JRO03C ALJC and the one listed is ALJ1

Per a post in this thread I used ALJ1 and all is fine

I selected option 2 for "rooting options"

In "Rooting Options" I chose option 3 "ALLINONE"

In Recovery Options I chose Option 2 "TWRP Touch Recovery"

I then received a notice that I needed to enable USB debugging.

Since I had already done this I realized that this was a problem.

According to other posts in this and other threads I

Rebooted the phone

Rebooted the computer

Plugged the phone into a different USB port on my computer.

This solved this problem.

I then followed the directions for ODIN, CAREFULLY choosing the correct file

And it was done. No muss, no fuss...

I know this post is repeating things that have already been said, much better than I am saying.

I just know that doing this for the extreme novice can be a bit worrisome and I thought this post might help to relieve those worries.

Foxfi will now enable WiFi tethering and all seems great.

PS, no data was lost in the procedure. My phone seems exactly as it was before.

Again, thank you to everyone involved, from the coders who built this stuff to the writers who wrote the instructions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Grant Barker:
Does anyone know when the Japanese Note 2 (SC-02E) will be supported?

Vipsavior already posted and sent the link of the Nand backup here to mskip.. https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B1F2-zRzRK_-aThtM1EzVXFVbjQ/edit

Chainfire kindly tried the original firmware from SamFirmware to get it to work with his CF-Auto-Root but we couldn't get it to work via Odin. I don't think he tried the above Nand backup.

Much respect to you developers. We are waiting patiently here in Japan to get root for the SC-02E.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] vileSpyderPig:
The Verizon variant of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has been rooted. Go here for details. Hopefully it can added to toolkit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LimonP:
I was wondering if the Sprint ver would work for Verizon since there both CDMA carriers?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sho'nuff75:
Actually yes, thanks this does make me feel a little better. I am a complete noob and will be going to buy the Note 2 and the only thing I need is to have Tethering. So I wanted to make sure I should be doing this Toolkit for only needing root to do tethering. Sounds like I am at the right place. Is there any issue with having the newest phone because of OTA updates?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gotonull:
First off some keywords for those who might be searching and freaking out: ODIN, NAND ERASE ALL, NAND ERASE, EFS, RADIO, SPC, NO INTERNAL SD, UNMOUNTABLE, READ ONLY, okay...

I have more useful information regarding general ODIN flashing with the Note II at least!

So let's say you wanted to power wipe and you got brave and stupidly tick the NAND ERASE ALL box in ODIN. Your phone reboots and it seems like it's fine except there's no radio, it won't accept its SPC to unlock, has read only, unmountable partitions, invisible internal SD card that can't be used, and if you put in an external SD card it's read only, and downloads from browser don't work and all browsers crash, and OTA updates fail in stock recovery.

DON'T PANIC AND DON'T REPARTITION AND DON'T SEND ANY PITs, YOU DON'T NEED TO!

Simple solution to this problem.

Everything I found said all you need to do is go into recovery and wipe all data, fix permissions, and reboot. That doesn't quite work on this phone, even if you use clockwork recovery. When it reboots, you also need to need to go into settings and do a factory reset from within touchwiz. If that doesn't work, if you don't already have it install clockworkmod using the toolkit, get a radio zip file, copy it to an external SD card using your computer and a usb reader, put that sd card into the phone, reboot into clockworkmod, turn off signature verification, flash radio, and then do a factory data reset from within touchwiz again and your radio should come back in unactivated state. If OTA activation fails, do a ##(YOUR PHONE'S PRL HERE)# from dialer, edit the two numbers using your account info, and commit. You will have voice on restart. Not sure if your data keys get wiped or not, but you should've backed those up before you did anything as silly as wiping nvram.

IF THAT DOESN'T WORK HERE IS WHAT YOU MUST DO:

Use the toolkit, install clockworkmod recovery, use clockworkmod recovery to wipe all. Go and mount /efs partition along with all of the other partitions it will let you mount. wipe data and cache again. When it reboots, radio will BE BACK and sdcard is unlocked. Awwww yeah, that feel when radio is back and sdcard is unlocked. Now go ahead and go back to ODIN and flash stock again with only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.

Thanks if this helps, disregard if you would never do anything this dumb.

Is Recovery able to see exFAT 64g SD card??

Question to mskip and whomever...

While in recovery I currently get SD mount errors and do not have the SD option (backups). This has happened since installing exFAT 64g card. Is there a compatibility issue with TWRP recovery and this size card with this format? Note: My phone does see the card ok.

Thanks

Flash counter stuck at 1

Thank you for your reply. I did reroot and installed triangle away and it never would move the flash counter to 0 it always says 1??? I have installed/uninstalled every samsung driver on the planet tried to flash factory stock tar and I still get the errors Plus it just won't update my Profile, It can check for PRL, firmware and updates just kicks out an error when I try and update profile. Chameleon error and internal error 1500 still NO LUCK. Got everything off my phone and sd card related to rooting but one question, How can I check to make sure I'm on stock recovery? Once I verify stock recovery I'll try and exchange it. Oh I purchased from Wirefly (cause the Sprint store was out of the Gray variant FOREVER) any way I have the Sprint insurance on all phones so do I take it to the Sprint store or call Wirefly? I've had it for over a month.

Thanks Mattsm and everyone else who has tried to answer my needy questions ,

Big dog charles wassup homie good to see u over here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mnxd9:
FYI I thought I had the same issue, until I really read triangle away, where is says some devices will always say 1, if you are trying to check the count using triangle away, if you're stock you can check the stock recovery with the vol up, home and power button sequence, and to check you actual count you need to do it by going into the download mode volume down plus home and power key, the volume up to see the real count, triangle away doesn't work for that on our phones. I spent a lot of stupid time trying to figure that out, but it was late and I don't think I was thinking clearly.

Not sure if that solves your issue, hopefully at least helps someone else, through my pain and learning. :rolleyes:

Sounds like you are having computer issues too, I haven't used it but I think mobile Odin may work perfectly for you to get the stock tar back on your phone, cost ya $5, honestly I don't really know much about the mobile version, but from what I understand it'll probably work for you.

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

Many thanks mnxd9 Ok so my counter still says 1 but it also says custom binary. Does that mean I don't have stock recovery? I checked the recovery with my quick boot plus app and it looked like a stock recovery it put me into. I know it wasn't CWM or TWRP. I purchased Mobile Odin Pro at the get go but like a fool I somehow got into a adb sideload thing and thats where my problems started. Thanks alot though for the education on triangle away.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] QuantumPSI:
Ok, I NEED the PIT files for the SPH-L900.

I used the basic Auto-root and Odin to root my phone. Worked just fine. Then yesterday, I was transferring a lot of music onto my SD Card (64GB sandisk), and the phone went into a bootloop. At first, I didn't think it was a big deal. Just flash the stock ROM and good to go... I was wrong.

I can't get into the recovery menu (VolUp + Home + Power); it tries to, but it ultimately fails and reboots. I have tried flashing every single stock ROM I could find via Odin and even tried to re-partition, but it won't do the re-partition without the .pit file.

I really need my phone back up and running ASAP. Does ANYONE know where I can find a .pit file? I have been scouring the internet for hours now to no avail.

Help? Stuck at "Downloading..do not turn off target" screen

Ok, I have a stock Sprint Galaxy note II, I ran the toolkit, installed the drivers, turned on USB debugging and selected the ROOT option.

Then I selected the All In One (#3) option, selected TWRP and SuperSU. typed YES to run. ODIN came up, I left the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked only. Clicked PDA and selected: C:\Samsung Galaxy Note2 ToolKit\root\boot-insecure-alj1-recovery-SPHL900.tar

then hit START. It just sits there and gives me this: <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

my phone stays on the Downloading...Do not turn off target!! screen. I'm afraid to exit ODIN or unplug the phone. Any help? Please?

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

I rebooted everything and looked and for some reason it was saying my drivers weren't installed properly, even though they were before I started. All is well now. You guys rock.

Using ODIN3, ID:COM does not turn BLUE?

I have a ATT Samsung Galaxy Note 2 SGH-I317 that I am trying to root for the first time.

I have followed the instructions and gotten to the point of running

ODIN3

. But the

ID:COM does not turn Blue!

:crying:

The drivers installed fine with no errors.

I see a device called 'Android Phone' in Devices and Printers.

And I see it's internal memory and SD card listed as REMOVABLE STORAGE in Windows Explorer.

The phone's screen says that it is 'Downloading...' Do not turn off. So, I am stuck here. I am afraid to unplug it or continue since the ID:COM is not blue. It must not see the device.

Please Help.

Thanks for your time! :good::good::good:

Snacko

EDIT: ----------------------------------------------

Well, I was afraid I might screw something up if I turned my phone off, but I didn't. First I installed Kies, and that also could not see the phone. So, I ejected the removable devices and the phone in the Devices panel. Non of that did anything. So, I unplugged the usb, but it still said it was Downloading. I had to pull the battery to fix it. But it booted up fine.

So, I connected it to my pc again and now kies can see it, so I went to the Tookit folder and just opened ODIN and it also did see it now. The button turned BLUE! Yea. I am assuming that if I repeat the Toolkit steps that after it is put back in 'Download' mode it will still show up as Blue in ODIN.

EDIT AGAIN:

That did not work. After installing Kies, I could now see the device in Kies and also ODIN. But once I started the Toolkit, ODIN would not see it at all.

So, I uninstalled Kies, rebooted, and moved the usb plug from an external port to a usb port on the back of the motherboard. I ran the toolkit and installed the drivers. At that point I opened ODIN manually and it did see the device and the button was blue and said: 0:[COM3]. So, I closed ODIN and continued, to where the Toolkit opens ODIN. And ODIN did NOT see the device now? WTF!? Argg.. At this point it seems as though when it reboots into Download Mode, ODIN can no longer see the device?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SnackoDog:
3 pounds and 5 hours later... nothing.. :eek:

I have identified that when the Toolkit reboots the phone into Download Mode the phone device is removed from the system and not readded. So, ODIN cannot see it. I have down this manually as well. I hold Vol Dn, Power, and Home when booting the phone and I get the Download screen. But this one has an 'Odin' message at the top. (the others didn't) I press Vol Up and I'm in Download mode. I connect the usb and get nothing. My computer doesn't see it. It see's it fine all other times, but not in Download mode.

Here is a screenshot. I opened up my instance of ODIN manually before the Toolkit rebooted the phone into Download mode. My instance of ODIN DID SEE the phone. The button was blue, and the message said Added! So, I told the Toolkit to continue and it rebooted the phone, which caused the system to remove the device, and ODIN said it was REMOVED. After the phone rebooted the phone device was not re-connected. So, the Toolkit's instance of ODIN (as well as mine) cannot see it!!

adbd cannot run as root in production builds

Hey guys just got my replacement note 2 and decided to root with the tool kit. I follow all instructions and when the phone reboots after exiting odin i get this message = adbd cannot run as root in production builds. Does anyone have a clue how to get around this? Im on windows 7 and I ran it regular and as an admin and still the same.

Just a quick question: Is the Note 2 also affected by the "brick bug" that the SGS2 and the Note1 have with android 4.0.4+? (When using stock recovery/stock kernel and restoring factory settings, the phone dies).

Do we need to un install V2. Whatever the latest version was as of 12/17/12? And do we reuse the activation key for donors that you originally emailed us or will there be different keys for V3.0.0?

If I need to uninstall V2 what happens to the backups I made before I rooted using the toolkit will I lose that data? I'll try and ask at your website mark...you are one tough cookie to track down.
