Thanks Mark the updated toolkit worked. in less than 5 min I was done. I do have one question is this permanent root or will I loose recovery if reboot. I read somewhere about this happening and was curious

Steps for Upgrading 4.1.2 Stock Rooted to 4.3 Stock Rooted

I have read through and searched this thread because I wanted to figure out how to do this the right way but am still not sure.

A while back I used the Note 2 Toolkit to Load 4.1.2 Stock Rooted (I am a Paid/Pro user). I believe I used the "all in one" method originally. My phone is great and has been so smooth and I have no complaints (thanks Mark!). Now that the Universal Toolkit has 4.3 support, I would finally like to update to 4.3 Stock Rooted if possible.

I am fairly certain that I will not be able to just "upgrade" through the toolkit and here is probably a process and procedure. Could someone share their knowledge and guide me through this?

Thanks in advance to whomever can help me.

I keep running into a Permission issue when attempting to root now.

I reverted back to stock, just of the day, so I could start fresh on CM11, but now I cant gain root again.

Ill include a screenshot of the exact error that is occurring.

I am on the paid v5.1 by the way.

Any ideas, or work arounds, or am I just doing something stupid?

EDIT: Alright I found a way to get root. I have to flash the SuperSU via recovery with the ZIP file. However even after gaining root this way. Busybox still will not install. If I use the option to just root and install Busybox I get an error saying "/tools" cannot be found.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & Try again.

Can't get passed this screen. I initially tried to root using #5 recommended method it kept booting into stock recovery. Used tool kit to fix booting into stock recovery and it never would get past the dowloading to target screen!. Then after the fourth time not working I unplugged it to give up and I get this F&#Ked Up screen that I can't get out of!!! Have I hosed my phone?

I can't get anything to come up other than this screen.

Streesed,

Charles

All I wanted to do was root the thing to flash a stock rooted 4.4.2!

Edit FIXED! I used Odin to flash stock recovery. Any one want to spoon feed me on how to obtain root from stock 4.3?

Thanks

Charles

I did it! 4.4.2 woot woot!

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 AUTO UPDATE [V2.3.1 - 3RD NOVEMBER 2012]

Changelog:

+Added Canadian carriers to the supported list:

Bell, Sasktel, Telus (SGH-I317/M)

Mobilicity, Videotron, Wind (SGH-T889/V)

This is mainly a clarification update as I mistakingly named the AT&T model as SGH-L317 instead of SGH-I317.

Also the Canadian carriers have been added to the Model Selection Screen as they use the same kernel as existing models.

Enjoy.

The reason I was asking him to use that option is to test if the izarcc.exe program works on his oc as it didnt work with the root option.

You can copy anything you want in there just to test if the tar process works. Just copy the adb and toolkit files from the main installation folder (COPY NOT MOVE) and run the process to check if it completes and creates a .tar file in the OUTPUT folder.

AT&T support?

Excelent work! The OP listed Rogers/AT&T, but I didn't see in the Oct27 patch notes the AT&T supported.

I'm sorry but I could not wait for your post on the AT&T page. I linked here in advance of your formal comment thread there. As you can imagine, we are just as excited to make use of your Tool Application just as soon as we get our phones this week.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
Its ok I havent posted the Toolkit in the AT&T forum yet as I didnt add support for your model until the V2.3.0 Auto Update so it isnt in a full version yet (only donators version).

I will do my best to make a full version in the next few days once I have some tests come back from other models and post it in the AT&T forum. If you cant wait then its always available as an Auto Update from V2.0.0.

I just want to stress that it's important to have a good USB cable when you root the phone. I almost bricked mine just now by accidentally using the same crappy one that caused me to brick my Captivate years ago. The process hung just as it was about to flash the boot image.

Use the nice new cable that came with the device!!

Being a transplant from evoland myself it is weird being here. Apparently Samsung does not lock their bootloader. Far as I can tell there is no exploit they are using to sneak in so my guess is everything should be fine. This is the first time I have had my phone rooted and a custom rom flashed within a day of purchasing it. . Very strange. . I guess they do have this weird triangle thing which I have never seen but I guess tells someone you messed with the phone. . I do not understand since they leave the phone own to play with what do they expect us to do ha ha ha. . Hopefully someone used to Samsung ways will give you a better answer

Forgive me if this is posted somewhere here or in another forum, I did search for Bell related info but didn't see any other than the quoted post above here.

I'm basically getting a Bell Galaxy Note 2 tonight at Best Buy, so I'm prepping to use this kit. I've used the SGS3 and N7 kits previously, they are pure awesome. I sent a donation for this one so I can do the auto-update, which you mention above now includes Bell, etc. I just want to confirm before going ahead here tonight - once I receive my code and unlock the donate version and update to latest, am I ok to proceed with using this toolkit for Bell specific Note 2? Sorry if question is noobish or if already answered (?), just want to be extra careful not to brick my phablet on the first day I get it :p

Amazing toolkits btw!

Edit - I should mention I plan to install drivers, rename recovery restore files, root, and use TWRP recovery with my Bell N2.

just thought I would tell you I tried to use your program but it did not work..

I picked install root

and used option 4 to install root and recovery.

I picked the recovery hit start. the phone reset when it was done and than it says to pick install from sd card but I had no such option. only option was apply update..

also the superuser program did not get put on my sd card it got put on my internal sd card. so no love for me ;(

Went ahead with this last night with my new Bell Note 2 - success. Flashed TWRP and SuperSU choices. However, just wanted to report that the TWRP that installs for the Bell variant appears to be from the international version and doesn't properly see mount points - couldn't mount /data for example for a backup. I just flashed again TWRP through goomanager openscript installer and it fixed the mount points.

Sounds like you missed the second option four. If your on Sprint it should be option four> option four> option five. The first time I did it it rebooted into stock recovery, try again this time option four> option five. Then use option 20 and reboot device into recovery. I installed TWRP as usual for my devices so can't say anything positive or negative toward CWM install working or not. Hope this is helpful:confused:

shv-e250s

Hi there Mskip, i have a prob with my shv-e250s 4g lte 64gb, wonder if you can help, i flashed a bad rom in October, now i`m with out imei

(its null / null), no bandwidth, no network and it doesn’t detect sim card. It has Wi-Fi working, Bluetooth and gps, with no prob. The Efs folder has been deleted, so no nv_data.bin file at all, imei folder is empty. I wonder, since you are working on your software, that i gues has or will have support for shv-e250s, may be you have a efs backup for this device, or nv_data.bin file (ofcours with no imei data inside, i`ll put mine), or pit file i can flash in order to restore my partition and maybe after that if i flash stock rom it will fix my device, now it doesn’t help. I have already tried a lot of stuff, nothing helps((((

Great Software

I used your toolkit inj the past for my Nexus 7 in order to root it and later on to unroot it so I could sell it. I now used it on my Sprint GN2 and it worked perfectly again. This is an amazing piece of software you have created. I just received the code for my donator features thanks. :victory:

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

On the text it says it was more a clarification than an real update. Donation option is under one of the options in the toolkit's main menu near the bottom. Once you make a donation through Paypal he will send you a code via email where you would go through the toolkit settings option and activate the donator features.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxdejavuxX:
I'm a little confused as the text under those option says not to use these options if you have previously rooted the phone. Is it safe to do it because you lose Root after the OTA update? thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
It doesnt say if you have 'previously' rooted, it says if you have already rooted which means you presently have root on your device. If you lose root from an OTA then its fine to root it again.

The message is really to warn people against rooting with Superuser and then rooting again with SuperSU as the su binary file is copied to different folders and may cause conflicts.
