Re: [Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT V3.0.0 SPRINT] Drivers, Backup, Root, CWM, TWRP, Flash to S

I do select 42 all the while Iv been doing this. I guesd I should have stated this. One thing I did notice is that when the toolkit starts odin and I select pda file and select start, my phone goes into download mode but....my computer doesnt show my device. It did before download mode but not after entering download mode. One more question, theres two download modes I can get into on my phone. Odin download mode which shows odin in upper left hand side in red I think, on my phone then theirs a download mode that just says download mode and not to shut off device. Also in odin download mode it says binary not loaded. Thanks for the advice again yall!

if you still have access to TWRP, follow my link in previous post and read the instruction there to flash MA7 and root at the same time.

Re: [Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT V3.0.0 SPRINT] Drivers, Backup, Root, CWM, TWRP, Flash to S

Im not understanding something. I dont have tewp flashed on my phone. My understanding is that you have to already be rooted to flash twrp. I can flash twrp on a never rooted phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
my bad. i was thinking to help you based on my similar problem except that my phone is rooted. Can you get out of the download mode at all? If yes, try other methods since this one is not working for you.

Re: [Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT V3.0.0 SPRINT] Drivers, Backup, Root, CWM, TWRP, Flash to S

Success!!!! Good friggn judas priest! I ended using a friends laptop. The one I was using seemed to have a hiccup. Iv tried the toolkit like a billion times and after each fail I had no problem rebooting my phone. Sorry for all the questions. I figured it had something to do with his laptop. I should have asked this question in the first place...Does the toolkit run on a windows xp x32 os? Anyways I thank everybody for their guidance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
I am happy for ya. :)

Anyone know what i can do to fix Odin not seeing my AT&T Note 2 on 4.1.2 using stock samsung data cable have all the driver's my phone goes into download mode...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
try to install the driver again. if that does not work. then try different computer. that what happened with the last person.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xforsakerx:
ok when i do this on another computer should i install the toolkit then install the driver from the toolkit then plug my phone up to it ? or just plug it up to the laptop and download them like that

Re: [Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT V3.0.0 SPRINT] Drivers, Backup, Root, CWM, TWRP, Flash to S

Is the the toolkit going to be updated with the stock ma7 rom and restores soon? It has been out awhile and there is still no update. I use the premium version of toolkit and haven't seen any updates for awhile.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AngryGibson:
I believe that I have the latest version of the toolkit and I'm attempting to root a friends phone. Does this support 4.1.2 yet for the sprint version of the note 2? I opened the program and didn't see it. Its not advised to use one 4.1.1 if he is on 4.1.2?

Thank you for any assistance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
Choose option 42. Sometimes it fails not because the wrong option but because the computer. I did it w 4 sprint note 2 w out any problem.

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 TOOLKIT AUTO UPDATE V4.0.0 [27TH MARCH 2013] AVAILABLE!!

Changelog:

+Updated complete Toolkit structure for easier support and faster updates

+Added GT-N7100T and GT-N7105T models to the support list

+Added 4.1.2 support for many models. See below image for full list

+Updated CWM and TWRP Recovery to the latest model specific version

+Added TWRP NAND backup/restore procedure to backups section

+Updated SuperSU Root procedure to V1.25

+Updated Samsung usb drivers to 1.5.18.0

+Added more error detection and updated many parts of the Toolkit procedures

+Added Activation option and support procedure for new builds to Model Screen

+Updated Stock firmware download section with new Samsung images

+Updated mods section

SPRINT SPECIFIC POST: I have not been able to find a 4.1.2 stock image for the sprint model so if someone with the Professional Version can select option 'A' from the model selection screen and follow the instructions to backup a stock boot image from the 4.1.2 build then I can add support before the Public Version is built. If not then support will have to be added as an update in the future.

Model specific Boot and Recovery files are now downloaded after the Model/build has been selected. This means that you no longer have to download files for a model you do not own (which for 12 supported models would be a huge download size). This also makes it much easier to add support for new builds as the model file can be updated and uploaded on an individual basis. If for some reason you cannot download the model file from the Toolkit then you can grab it from http://goo.im/devs/mskip/toolkit/galaxy_note2/model_files and extract the files to the relevant folders.

As this is such a major update for the Note2 Toolkit I will let the Professional Version users test it for a day to make sure everything is working as I cannot test it on all variants. In the meantime I will start building the Public Version and if everything is ok I will release V4.0.0 to everyone Friday morning.

[Auto Updates are only accessible if you have donated to the Toolkit project, received an activation code and unlocked the professional 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 professional 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]

Model 4.1.2??

My Sprint model is 4.1.2 and i only see 4.1.1 will this still work for my phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
chose option 42. everything else is the same process.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] djay1310:
Toolkit V4.0??

Where can i download V4.0.0?? don't see it.

Choose option 42 on V3.0.0 or option 42 on V4.0.0??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xyojimbox:
so options 42 is proven to work on 4.1.2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattsm:
V3.0.0 cuz if you look at his picture on V4.0.0 it would be a different option.

Been proven many of time through this thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xyojimbox:
ok thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
if you use the current free toolkit v3.0.0, then option 42. The Version 4 I believe it is donation one.

Re: [Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT V3.0.0 SPRINT] Drivers, Backup, Root, CWM, TWRP, Flash to S

I need to get back to stock so I can return 0hone to sprint can I use 4.1 the ota to 4.2 ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
Either one is good because it's official from Sprint. go here to get it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086769

wipe/factory reset first through TWRP then flash MA7 or LJC.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJB628:
OK I am at work and just need a simple answer, will be receiving my Sprint NII today, will root it as soon as I get home, not sure what version will be on the phone when I receive it, but my question is, depending on the version are all versions OK with the 3.0 toolkit. If I have an older version am I best not to update and root first ??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJB628:
OK I decided to read backwards quickly and got my answer, if my phone is on 4.1.2 when I get it, if using 3.0 toolkit then I choose option 42, if I donate then I have the option in 4.0 toolkit, thanks

Edit: actually looks like it is the same option if using 3.0 or 4.0 which is 42
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
That would be completely wrong if you have Sprint SPH-L900. The option for this specific model is 91 in v4.0. Option 42 in v4.0 is for a different type of Note2. If you do it wrongly, it will be lot of work to bring it back to stock rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJB628:
Now I am even more confused, option 42 if for 4.1.1, if I take the OTA, then what option is it for 4.1.2 ??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJB628:
OK, got it now, on toolkit 3.0 I still choose option 42 even though it says 4.1.1, I will be on 4.1.2 when I take the OTA update, it seems that it still works, got it, TIA all
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
OK. For Toolkit v.3.0.0, you chose option 42 for 4.1.1 LJC and 4.1.2 MA7.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJB628:
Yep, thanks all, rooted last night took about 15 minutes from start to finish and no issues, ;) Will keep it stock for a bit, then test out a few Roms. I will also remove some bloat, of course I will do a Nandroid first, LOL, and then will stay on stock for a bit

Great toolkit, easy simple and precise. Big kudos to MSkip, well done, and thanks for all the hard work, cheers

i'm done.. I hope

Ok folks, i've gone through everything for my Sprint Note 2 and as far as I know, i'm fully done and rooted... I did option 3 which was "everything" and I just want to verify something... Do i need to do ANYTHING else or am I totally ready to flash ROMS etc?? coming from my galaxy 3, I've never used Odin and I had to use an unlocker app on my G3...

Just wanna get verification that i'm 100% done at this point! Thanks in advance and thanks for this wonderful tool!!

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

Guys, i'm back again... Just another quickie.. Perhaps I should have studied a bit, but my note 2 arrived and I simply had to root with little research! :\ ... anyway, I rooted with this tool via option 41 I think, 4.1.1 and now i'm getting the freaking "your phone needs an update" pop up. If I update, do I lose root? Since there's an update, can I safely flash any TW rom out there or do I need to be updated?

Sorry for the noobishness... Like I said, I used one-click roots on the G3 and have zero experience with odin. Thanks to all!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattsm:
If you installed custom recovery, it will not update anyway, even if you say yes. It will just take you to recovery where you would simply reboot system. Just flash away the rom you want.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dj21o:
Thank you for this toolkit! I won't have the phone for a couple of months, but I'm definitely using this when I do receive it!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xyojimbox:
Got my replacement phone yesterday but I don't think computers or anything is reading it I install drivers from tool kit and it never shows my cereal number and when go through process of rooting it just says waiting to usb debugging so something is messed up with this phone then I guess?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJB628:
Try unplugging the USB cable and plugging it back in during the process, sometimes that gets it going.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
you should also try a different computer hence quite a few members here get their note 2 rooted after switch to another computer/laptop.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattsm:
Why not check device manager to see what is going on, reinstall drivers. Make sure device is being seen. This should be an easy task of cheking to make all dirvers are being installed.

Everyone one first thing should, install drivers, put phone in all modes. Booted rom with usb debugging on, manually put in download mode, ect......ect...... and let drivers install for each mode. If no errors installing drivers, then all should work perfectly. After this is done, close the tool kit, reopen tool kit and get after it.

+Added LTE GT-N7105 [build DMC3] support

Models fixed so far are GT-N7100, GT-N7105, SPH-L900, SGH-T889, SHV-E250L [The rest will follow soon]

+Updated several procedures in main Toolkit code

If you cannot get or do not want to update to the professional version with Auto Updates then you can download the latest CWM Recovery image for your model from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and TWRP images can be found at http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 You can convert .img files to .tar via the Toolkit and then flash via Odin.

I have re-installed the drivers and rebooted both multiple times.

Any thoughts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mongo23ny:
If you tried unplugging and replugging, try putting your phone in usb debugging mode before you plug it in again. I had no serial # the 1st time. I unplugged, usb debugging, plugged in again and I had a serial #.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neudof:
Yeah I did all that and it still did not shiw the serial. I had access to the phone in windows so I just started the process and the phone rebooted to recovery. Once that happened the serial showed up and all went smooth

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I've tried flashing TWRP and CWM. When it gets to the sideload recovery option and boots in to recovery it's the stock recovery.
