i tried to do the allinone option yesterday on my sprint note 2 and i got stuck on the odin screen. the progress bar never finished. it was about 20 minutes and it wouldnt finish. i freaked and closed the odin screen and then unplugged the cable and tried to reboot. got stuck in the firmware update problem retry with kies. i was screwed but the sprint store fixed it and now i want to try again but just root and not install a recovery. did anyone have that same problem so i know what i did wrong? or was i supposed to wait longer in the odin screen and it would have finished eventually? please help

Hi,

I've tried to read the thread for info on this but either missed it or it's not there:

Installed the toolkit on my pc, autoupdated to 4.2.0 but comes up with the following:

Processing archive GT-N7100.zip

Error: cannot open file as archive

An error occurred

Try again later or ask in support thread for help

(I assume this is the support thread)

so, HELP ! please

(I'm not good at this stuff so please write as if to a small child)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamingWolf:
At what point are you getting that error? Which means after you updated, did the error come up right away, or did you try to choose your phone model, the program showed downloading a file, then you got the error? Or, if at another point, when?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] under-developed:
Installed the toolkit and then autoupdated it

The chose the phone type and then build number

Then it downloads boot & recovery images but fails at that point
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] under-developed:
Just a thought - possibly only mskip can answer this:

updated from v4.1.0 to 4.2 as 4.1 didn't have my build number (DMC3) listed

line 14 included DMC1 in that version of the kit but only the upgraded version had dmc3

Can I do harm to my phone if I uninstall 4.2, reinstall 4.1.0 and then use option 14 even though it doesn't explicitly include my build ?

Thanks

(have just checked and v 4.1.0 will extract and load the images (although it doesn't state that it covers my build number), so it doesn't seem to be my pc that's causing the problem with extraction)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamingWolf:
I would think you would be ok as long as there are MAJOR changes between the builds. I have always updated my firmware off the leaks before the OTA is released so I end up using the latest version that the toolbox has for my model, not the actual build I'm running.

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

Did you try downloading more than once? Did you try installing the old toolbox again and updating again? I ask because I just tried on the latest version of toolbox and the GT-N7100 downloaded and extracted just fine on my computer. I'm wondering if you got a bad download somewhere along the line.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] under-developed:
Ah, sorted now, thanks - 3rd time lucky with the fresh installation/update (there was a brief period this morning when the toolkit reported server as unavailable; I wonder if you're right about bad/interrupted downloads yesterday)

Cheers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AnAm85:
I'm having issues here.

I went to root my device with the toolkit and noticed my build wasn't in the kit. I'm on MC2 stock from the OTA from Sprint. I had the drivers installed already, went to use the latest build in the tookit (I believe it was MA7) and went through the WHOLE process.

After it said it rooted and installed TWRP I decided to flash a ROM. I booted into TWRP, wiped, flashed the ROM and went to reboot into it. That's when TWRP said my device was not rooted?!!??

So it asked if I would like to install the root app and I swiped to confirm. But my device powered off and back on again only to get stuck on the black "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen and hung there. I can get back into download mode OR TWRP but unless I restore my nandroid backup or use ODIN to flash a stock img it won't do anything more than that.

I even verified root with Root Checker and made sure I had SuperUser (the first time) and SuperSU (the second attempt). I don't understand.

Anybody had the same issue or know what the hell is going on? Do I have a rogue or possessed device???

Please quote this post so I can receive the notification... I don't want to subscribe to the whole thread. THANKS!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamingWolf:
FYI, the bit about TWRP and 'losing' root after a ROM flash and swiping to 'restore' it is fairly common so I wouldn't waste any energy worrying about that part.

As to the other part, it almost sounds as though something went wonky when the toolkit flashed an insecure boot image to your phone. When you say ODIN back to a stock img, are you using the toolkit to do this, or a 'complete to stock' image like the one from this thread, or something else?

My advice would be to go back 100% to stock (I'd personally use a file from the thread I just linked to) and try the toolkit root flashing again. If you're still having the same issue after that, then we can look elsewhere. But I would start with assuming a bad flash since that is the easiest to confirm/fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1980cj7:
Can anyone help please here is what i keep getting. checking download source 1..Source 1 could not be located, checking source 2... Source 2 could not be located... closing tool kit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AnAm85:
Yeah I'm using ODIN to flash back to stock and tried using the toolkit again and still does it...

I'm stumped man... I've rooted and flashed custom recoveries and ROMs on all my devices and Samsungs mostly and I don't understand what's going wrong. I may just uninstall drivers, the toolkit and anything else related to my issue and start all over...

Unless you have any other suggestions... Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamingWolf:
Have you tried an ODIN image from an earlier modem/firmware like LJC?

Or my next step would be to search XDA and Google for "how to format (or check)(or fix)(or resize) internal partitions of galaxy note 2"

I made a backup of sung sonic rom using TWRP. I let the default backup options go. When I restored, I was stuck with missing widgets and programs without the logins and passwords restored. Did I do something wrong? Is this just how it backs up? I always thought it would restore to an exact replica... Passwords, widgets and all
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JagoRacing:
is anyone available to chat to walk me through this. it seems to brick my phone every time

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Patch7:
How does it brick your phone? It is very clear and easy to do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JagoRacing:
it never finishes in odin. the green progress bar never finishes and just stays there. i can't exit or start over. i close odin and then my phone turns on the screen that i need to connect to kies.

My friend has the note 2 and I was going to help her root her phone. Will this toolkit work with the JZ054KL900VPAMC2 4.1.2 build?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamingWolf:
It lists SPH-L900 up to build 4.1.2 AMC2 as supported, so I would say yes. It works on my phone which is on that build and is an L900 from sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] homerino85:
hello,

i've a question: i've backupped all my system phone in 1 full backup.

now i've change rom and I need to restore only 1 app+data, how to restore it from the 7Gb BAK file? how to open it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamingWolf:
When you say "all my system" what does that mean? Which option in the toolbox did you choose to do your backup?

I'm asking because when I pull my /system to my computer it creates a TAR file and I know that TWRP creates WIN files.

Other than that I would try to open the file with WinZip, WinRar, 7-Zip or some other archive program. If you can open the archive to see inside you should be able to extract just the app file you need.

NOTE: I would advise against carrying the data over from one rom to another. Each rom has it's own way of handling app data and they don't all work together. If you absolutely must have the data as well, make sure you make a nandroid before restoring the data in case it messes up your current rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] homerino85:
for backup I've used option 7 and ADB backup whit system-apk-data (always option 1 at all question before start backup)

I need only restore data for 1 app. I've tryed to open with 7zip but don't works

Hello everyone. I am a bit of a noobie here. I have a question regarding the download hosting site: goo. When I attempt to download the .exe file, the website does its 10 second countdown as if to start the download, but it never actually initiates the download? Has anyone else experienced this issue and what is the workaround? Is their another download site? Thanks in advance. Also, if I want to pay to get the "auto updated" version is that option available once I download the program?

idk what to do now help please :crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
if you r still able to get to TWRP, then download the MC2 from Billard412 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086769

Then, just flash it. It also gives you option to remain root by flashing the little root file before reboot. Either way, you should factory wipe before flash and dont do it again after that.

You should uninstall all the SGN2 drivers and reinstall fresh, most of the time, it will solve the problem for you.

From MA7 to MC2

I'm currently on MA7 and I'm so over getting the reminder to do the OTA update to MC2. I've paid for the donate version of the tool kit bu when I run through everything and my phone reboots I'm still on MA7. It is rooted using the toolkit before on MA7 and I have the TWRP installed with a full backup of the phone as recommended.

When running through the menu's after updating I select 09 for Sprint phone > 93 for MC2 > download happened and seems all files are accounted for > 2 Root/Unroot > 3 AllInOne > 2 TWRP > 2 SuperSU > run through ODEN > reboot > 21 Device info = L900VPAMA7

Can't figure out what I'm missing here. I went back and read through the thread since toolkit V4.3.0 was released, page 50 I think and search for others having the same issue even for older version but didn't find much help. I must be missing something somewhere because I can't be the first person to do this so could someone point out what I've missed for me, a second set of eyes always helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yotie:
while in the tool command prompt......i try choosing sprint 4.1.2 # 92 ..and say the system can not find path specified.......whats the problem?? any help would be cool thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamingWolf:
Rooting a phone will not update the firmware/modem. You need to go to this thread and flash the Stock L900VPAMC2 All-In-One Firmware. Make sure to follow all the directions in the OP of that thread and your device will be updated.

The toolkit doesn't change the firmware/modem unless you actually ODIN one of the back to stock ROM files that you can find in these forums. That's why when you rooted your phone, the device info remained the same.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

First suggestion would be to try reinstalling. For some reason the program isn't finding the files/folders where it expects them to be.

If that doesn't work, comment back with which install file you are using, where you installed it, and what folders are showing up under your "Samsung Galaxy Note2 ToolKit" folder.

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

After goo.im finishes the countdown and fails to start, there should be a line that says 'click here if download fails to start'. Did you try clicking on that?

The upgrade option is available within the program itself once you get it downloaded and installed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yotie:
well it turned out that when i first open the tool command promt, when it asked to check for update,,i was pressing "no",,,,,pressed yes and now it worked like a charm,,,,rooted with recovery and superuser,, and now my little cousin is a happy camper,,,,,thank you!!!!:laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamingWolf:
Glad it was something simple and that everything is working! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamingWolf:
To make the build match your firmware is just a matter of which ROM you flash/ODIN. As long as you install one based on the MC2 framework then firmware will match the build.

I believe this would only apply to TouchWiz ROMs as AOSP ROMs like CM or Paranoid are not based off of Samsung frameworks but rather are pure Android.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tke1384:
Okay, so I think may understand what you're saying. I've run though the root process again which uses ODIN and I'm selecting boot-insecure-amc2-recovery-SPHL900 I also tried boot-insecure-amc2-SPHL900 just to be through but still I show Baseband MC2 but Build MA7. If I understand what's going on those files don't include the ROM and I'll have to go download the stock ROM from somewhere else, restore that through ODIN, then run the rooting tool is that right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamingWolf:
You are correct about needing to flash a rom. If you go to the android development subforum, I'm 99% certain there is a rooted stock rom you can download so you don't have to root again after you flash it. Just check to make sure it says MC2 and not MA7.

T Mobile Build??

Thanks for your efforts on this!

However, I don't see my build.... I am on T Mobile. I see the correct model number but I do not see the correct build number

Mine starts with a JZO54K and the one listed starts with a BM...something...

I don't want to brick my phone by choosing the wrong one......I did that before....not fun

Can you help me out???

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattsm:
The builds are not list as what they start with, they are listed as what they end with. JZ054K means nothing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gmatriix:
ok thanks here is what it ends with

T889UVBMD1

It looks like JZ054K.T889UVBMD1

On the toolkit it says

Andriod 4.1.2 [Build BMB4]

Any Ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattsm:
download the lasted tool kit you should have an option for build BMD1, use that one.

Just getting informed on the steps...

Just getting my Note 2, 1 week ago, I was preparing the steps to root..but..Although QB King is a Well known tech guy..he states in video ( where to dwnload toolkit ) on C drive..but the toolkit says to put into a root directory..NOT C drive... What exactly..or where on windows 7 would be best place to have this file,,to dbl ckick..and proceed as QB KING video states...( credit /kudos to Skip) and avoid errors of this type...( as much as possible anyway)

LOL, well c drive is the root directory. I have it installed on c: and works fine.
