I understand, but why else would it be trying to remove old root files? Maybe someone can chime in here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] maltydog:
I wonder if rather than running the toolkit again, I can use one of the files from the Root Directory of the program either in Odin on TWRP to fix the issue. The toolkit seems to have erratic results in getting the phone to reboot into download mode, it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattsm:
Since you have custom recovery, you can actually just flash a custom rom, or even stock rooted, either way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] maltydog:
Right now I am just looking for Stock Rooted. I am looking around for that Rom, have not located it yet but there should be one up here somewhere I assume.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattsm:
Check my signature.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] maltydog:
Actually, in the root directory of the Toolkit, there are 2 zip files. SuperSU-0.99-Busybox-RenameRecoveryRestore.zip

and SuperSU-0.99-Recovery.zip. I think running one of these in TWRP might resolve my problem.

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

Oops, should've noticed that! Thanks for the info...

Edit: Okay, I went into TWRP and installed SuperSU-0.99-Recovery.zip. That seems to have done it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattsm:
Cool, I prefer SuperSu anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] not.plugged.in:
First off I love what people have done for the community, without developers like mskip we would be stuck with overpriced machines that cant meet their full potential.

I have a few questions that I hope you guys can answer for me. When I download rootkit v3.0.0. I see that option 42 states it is for builds JRO03C ALJC. My phone model is JRO03C.L900VPALJC. I just want to make sure this is the correct option as i see the l middle sets in the other builds were left out as well. If it is not would someone be ever so kind to point me in the right direction.

Also I would like to help out further development on this awesome device but i haven't located a donate button anywhere for this rootkit... Little help?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] simple man:
That's the correct version. There's an option to donate in the toolkit, you'll see it when you use it. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] not.plugged.in:
yup you were right its option 27 after you select your build. I wasnt adventurous to go to the next page until I knew the correct version :p

thanks

Hello people.I Tried rooting my second gn2 and it's a no go.My first gn2 went fine with no problems. This time nothings happening.@ the end of odin and in download mode there's no loadup bar and then odin says failed.I uninstalled and I reinstalled everything. On my pc. Drivers, tool kit. Could it be my pc?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] simple man:
Make sure your using the official data/charger cable, which you probably are. I usually right click on the toolbox and select run as administrator. Double check that you selected your exact device model #. Try using a different usb port closest to the motherboard. Also make sure you goto settings on your phone, and enable usb debugging in developer options.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] maltydog:
I didn't see that. I just clicked on the donate button on the first post. Never got a reply, though my paypal account

was deducted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] loco3Nthemorn:
i've done everything I could. i'm really baffled. Is there something else in the phone other than checking debugging that I need to do? Again, at odin-dl mode absoluty nothing is happening. Stock is driving me nuts.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xT29c:
I'm currently on 4.1.1, and keep getting the option to download and install an update for my Note 2 on AT&T.

Will I still be able to use this tool kit, and be able to root without it bricking the phone? I know this tool kit was released before this update was pushed out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] simple man:
Try using this to root, then go back to the toolkit for whatever else you want to do. Just make sure to download the package specifically for your device, as there's a bunch listed. http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] billard412:
Finally someone who actually links to the easiest root method possible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattsm:
Grant it, that is the easiest method for JUST root.

But this tool kit is pretty damn easy as well.

And being this is the tool kit thread, maybe helping with tool kit problems would be much easier than your post.

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 TOOLKIT AUTO UPDATE V3.1.7 [14TH JAN 2013] AVAILABLE!!

Changelog:

+Updated TWRP Recovery images for all models to latest version [2.3.3.2]

+Fixed the push Internal Storage back to device routine [sets perms in recursive folders so they can be seen]

+Added text in Apk Restore + Install Apk files screens

+Added root support for ATT [SGH-I317] build JZO54K ALK7

+Minor improvements to code

For people who do not want or cannot get the Auto Update versions you can download twrp for your device from http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 and use the Toolkit to flash it via odin. The Toolkit just makes it 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

I had similar problems. Odin rebooted into download mode, but the phone hung there.

I had to use a different pc and then it worked fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] billard412:
Nobody ever links to cf-auto-root and i feel it doesnt get the attention it should as someone who JUST wants to root shouldnt be using a custom recovery anyway in my opinion. And guess what, it JUST roots but if you want custom recovery theres and app called rom manager and another called goo manager that will hook you up. And Im not here to help as this is mskips thread and is not the Q+A where people should be asking for help anyway. So if you dont like my post fck off n keep it to yourself next time.

Great job tho mskip. Looks sharp.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattsm:
That is right it JUST roots. I know all about how it all works. And if your not here TO HELP. Then go somewhere else. Cuz the questions ask are about this tool kit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jfg69:
How does one access the counter?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
If you reboot to download mode via the Toolkit then the flash counter won't show. To view the flash counter you need to reboot to download manually (Hold vol down, home and power buttons together until the device reboots to the warning screen, then press vol up to access download mode).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bawls:
mskip,

Thanks for the toolkit. I've used the crap out of it with my note2. I'm trying to auto-update and getting the below error. I've auto-updated in the past without error so I'm guessing something is up with the latest update? I dunno... Thanks again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jfg69:
I updated earlier today, didn't have any issues. Try again?

Also, I was able to root in a matter of minutes using the tool box. I chose option 2 I believe, root and busy box... it went flawlessly. :thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bawls:
Tried twice on one PC. 3rd try on different PC same result:

Attachment #2 shows what 7-zip is seeing in this file. Looks like its incomplete.

*edit* Working now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] loco3Nthemorn:
That's exactly what I'm getting every time. I also was going to try on another pc . I used this tool kit for my first gn2 and it was the easiest root I've ever did. Now a nogo. I wonder if the tool kit broke my pc the first time I rooted?

:(

I hadn't mentioned it earlier but I already tried chainfire even before I posted my issues and the same thing happens or not happen. It just hangs on down load mode. Im starting to lean towards my pc has some very large bugs .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jfg69:
Did you clear out all remnants of the previous attempt? Left over files are probably causing a conflict. I would highly doubt the toolkit "broke" your PC. :screwy:

Hi, I've just updated it for the very first time and now I want to know if I need reinstall flash recovery or I only need to use toolkit again if I flash another rom.

I'm sorry if I'm making a stupid question, but just take a look at my number of posts to get a idea of how much I've gotta learn about these skills.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
You updated your phone or the Toolkit? Sorry im just not sure exactly what your question is. The recovery image in the Toolkit is fine its just the version number I had to update so everything worked well together.

If that wasnt your question please elaborate.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] admiral70:
2 questions,

1) How do you donate to this product to get the latest? <figured this one out>

2) I have a Verizon Note 2 with the latest 4.1.1 JR003C.1605VRALL4 and all I want to do for now is root. Does 3.0 or 3.2 root this updated Verizon phone?

Thank you for your help. I apologize now if it is in the past post somewhere.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] outlawsys:
wanted root but ota too

I hacked it fine using #2 but I think I chose the insecure rom should I have chosen the one that said stock? also i'd like a program to perform recovery but I don't think with the stock rom I can.

1) can I start over and choose root # 2 select stock rom and install twrp?

2) can I start over and use root # 3 and select insecure rom but when an OTA update comes along reflash the stock rom and update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
The Toolkit stalls? Odin stalls or the phone stalls?

More info needed :)

Mark.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
Your option number 2 is the best but when an OTA is picked up you want to flash the Stock Recovery image back to your device. Custom Recovery will break an OTA, it doesnt matter about the boot image or root although that will be lost after an OTA.

Mark.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
Is your verizon model bootloader unlocked? Or pure untouched Stock?

The toolkit will not unlock the bootloader as I wanted to keep that seperate and I believe the unlock procedure will root the phone.

Will this tool root the JALL4 version? Thank you

sent from vzw Samsung Galaxy note 2 and tapatalk

UPDATE

I used this method to gain root with the OTA http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024207

Used ODIN to restore the Root66 image (see page 1 of this thread).

Install Voodoo OTA rootkeeper (see https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...otkeeper&hl=en)

Run Voodoo OTA rootkeeper to make a backup of the root.

Reinstall the OTA update from Settings > About Phone >

Software Update

After the update reboots the phone, rerun the Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and restore the root.

Weird error from cwm

I'm getting a error when I'm trying to install a rom. Says error or can not mount ex sd or regular sd meaning internal sd card? I have the rom on both and I'm not sure why its happening? I used the toolkit method 5 with odin etc. I do have a new 64 gig card could that be it?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mcskibadee1:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SnackoDog:
Have you updated it, as it says to do in the instructions in 2c in the first post here?

That should get you the latest version of the Toolkit. (have not used it in a month since I installed my ROM, so I don't know the latest version. You can check his signature, and go to Skip's website and check for this info...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mcskibadee1:
after I restart I hit check for update and it says the latest available is 3.2.0. Thats it, no option to select that or anywhere that I can press to let it update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SnackoDog:
It's been a while since I did this. But when you donated, did you get an email with a code? I think it tells you where to enter the code (Settings menu I think). And then you need to close the Toolkit, because once you entered the code, it does an update check and download every time it's started.

You did enter the code? And restarted the Toolkit? If so, then that's all I can help with. Sorry.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mcskibadee1:
Ya, I was emailed a code, went into the toolkit to donator options or whatever and put in the code and it said it was valid. I restarted the whole computer and opened up the tool kit and it still says version 3.0.0. I don't see my build on there which I believe should be on there with the donate version. The closest I have is build 42 and when I go through everything it just sits at the rebooting phone part but my phone does not reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SnackoDog:
Seems like something's wrong. Is your firewall stopping it from doing the update? Maybe disable it for a second and try? Otherwise PM MrSkip I guess?

got a issue guys .. i rooted yesterday night.. all went well .. now today morning i had to reboot .. and after that i am stuck on samsung boot logo..

i flashed the twrp and supersu. Now because I am still on the samsung logo my phone isnt recognized by the pc .. so how am I supposed to fix this? pls help!

BTW: the first screen says .. if I flashed stock rom then I can go to stock recovery.. but I have not flashed any rom yet.. I am still on the stock. So how do I get into stock recovery? I can get into TWRP..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
Try going into download mode (vol down, home and power buttons together) and flash the stock boot image for your model via Odin. You should find the file you need in the root/(your model) folder.

If that doesnt work then you may need to refash a stock firmware via Odin as you may have a corrupted image somewhere.

Counter

Would this rooting method trip the counter?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
Flashing any modified image will increase the flash counter. If you do not want to do that then you can either stay on pure stock/unmodified or find if a pre-rooted stock rom is available for your model. There are a few around but make sure it is specifically for your model.

Mark.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hardrock121:
I did this to restore to stock again .. but had to go to everything stock again .. I am not sure what ****ed up .. since I want t o reroot again but I am afraid I will have to redo all the restores again .. which is scary.

BTW .. I am not new to rooting.. (I did it on my epic 4g before) but coming to a new phone and all new tools are kinda freaking me out now.

Also in the root folder i have 2 files.. for my model(sprint) boot-insecure-alj1, boot-insrcure-aljc-recovery, boot-stock-alj1.. which one are talking about ? If I am ODIN'ing wouldnt I be ODINing the stock firmware which should be some 300MB not 13mb (recovery file)

It only erases the phone internal storage not an extcard data. I did the exact method you want to do and it worked great for me.
