[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 email toolkit.support@skipsoft.net about them and do not post in the open thread]

Donation links can be found at http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=703 to update to the Professional version and enable Auto Updates.

will this work if I took the latest update OTA?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattsm:
Yes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wwjoshdew:
It SUCKS hearing you say that. I'm one of the people that has been rooted since 2009, and his app was on every phone I had. He's serving our country and unable to maintain Superuser as much as he wants. I know you probably know that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dpjones:
I apologize in advance if these are stupid questions....it has been a while since I last updated my Note II and I'm confused. I used the Toolkit to root and put on a recovery and such several months ago. I don't think I put on a custom ROM...I only wanted root so I could use Titanium Backup. I have been getting the message "Android System Update" for several weeks now and I keep choosing "Install Later".

I don't remember if this is OK to do, or do I need to use the Toolkit to update to this? Or, do I need to go back to stock, then perform the update, then use the toolkit to root and put on the recovery again?

Another thing, I just used the Auto Update feature to update the toolkit and I don't see my version. I have a Sprint Note II, and the only choice is "91" which says "Android 4.1.1 [Build ALJ1-ALJC]" When I look at "About Device", I have:

Android Verion: 41.2

Baseband Version: L900VPAMA7

Kernel Version: 3.0.31-903705

Build Number: JZ054K.L900VPAMA7

So, I'm a little confused and not sure what I need to do, and obviously don't want to brick my phone. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance!

If your phone has 4.1.2 MA7 then you chose option 92 which I just did for two of my Sprint Note 2. Then carefully follow instruction. If your computer automatically sees your phone when you connect it with the USB cable, you dont need to uninstall and reinstall the driver. Make sure to turn on Developer options and check USB debugging box.

The important thing to remember that if you are uncomfortable with the process, you should NOT do it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dpjones:
This is odd....I didn't have an option 92....91 was the only Sprint option....so I shut down the toolkit and restarted it...and it is telling me there is another update "V4.2.0" and that auto update is only available in the Professional Version. I have (had) the Professional version...I just used auto update earlier this morning and it took me from version 3.something to "V4.0.1"....so for some reason it didn't take me all the way to "V4.2.0" and now it no longer thinks I have the Professional version that I donated to get the later part of 2012????

If I get 92 to show up and choose it, will then result in my phone have the latest update that is trying to be pushed OTA?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
U don't need the pro version to do it. Just use the free v4.1 is good. I used it to root my phones.

It won't get u to the latest mc2. U have to flash it first. If you haven't rooted, u can check for updates and get to the latest MC2 version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jfg69:
Go to skips website and on there is a link to get your code if you bought the upgrade. Apparently, this latest version is not seeing the codes like the previous version did. I had the same issue, reinserted the code and I was back to upgraded version. :thumbup:

During rooting process

So I'm in the main menu and when I pressed 2) Rooting Options 3) ALLINONE 2) TWRP 2) SuperSU got the 1 file copy then I get a pop up saying izarcc.exe has stopped working﻿ "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the prgram and notify you if a solution is available." How come I'm getting this? Any ideas how to fix this problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ccermikli:
First of all, thanks for this great toolkit.

I have a question about resetting flash counter, you have added this functionality to menu in your toolkit under

8. Download, Extract + Flash Stock Rom via Odin | 3. Reset your Flash Counter, but it says not available yet. When do you plan to activate this functionalty? By the way I have tried to use Triangle Away 2.26 to reset my flash counter but it the app stuck while checking the kernel and it exits.

Thanks.

so im coming back from a iphone and havent been on for a year do i need to reinstall the android sdk for this to root my note 2 or no any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi will this work on the galaxy note 2 SGH-l317m for rogers/att?

nvm i see it will not yet thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
You can root via option 4 in the root section to flash custom recovery and install the root files via recovery. If you could then make a nand backup with the tar format and send me the boot.img file I can add ATT support to the Toolkit.

Mark.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
Chainfire will be adding the US variants to Triangle Away as soon as he is able and has the files he needs. I will enable the info in the next version with a note to check the Triangle Away supported list before attempting the procedure.

Mark.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
You should get 2 files copied when the procedure starts to create the appropriate tar file. If you only had 1 then I can only assume something went wrong with the installation. Download the Toolkit again, reinstall (you dont have to delete anything in the folder as the installation will wipe the folder before installing the files) and try again. If it still doesnt work please post a screenshot of the Recovery and Root folders.

awesome! thank you. here is my boot,img for the Canadian rogers sgh-l317m note 2 which i believe is the same for att :victory:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bubbatran209:
I did get two folders copied and then the pop up message right after the I see the two files finish copying and tries to pop up the next screen. So I attached the before when it's loading and then a sec later, i get the pop up screen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
Thats an actual problem with izarcc.exe then on your pc. Never seen this one before. What OS are you running?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
You get nothing at all when long holding the back button?

Mark.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] turilo:
nope nada! no settings either i thought, very sad for Samsung to remove a main feature like that of the note 2 here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
It is very wierd considering Multi-View is the best feature I have ever seen on a phone (not trying to rub it in lol).

Hopefully they will add it into a future build or it can be add as a feature in a custom rom.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DatDude123:
So since I have MC2 I need to root using the MA7 option, #92 I think? Or, I need to donate first to purchase the upgrade to root MC2?

Thanks for any clarification.

D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
You are correct. You are on the latest MC2. Option 92 in the free toolkit v4.1 will root it for you and your phone will stay at MC2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DatDude123:
Thanks buddy. #withthequickness

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dpjones:
Thanks a bunch!!! I now have the updated version and the new sprint options. :)

So now do I need to Unroot the phone....then install the OTA update, then root the phone again? If so, do I need wipe Dalvik, or Data, or anything?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
If you are NOT rooted yet, try to force the update through the phone. Once you succeed, use the Toolkit to root it. That is the safest way to update to MC2. If you already rooted your Note 2, there are fews option to get to the MC2. You might have to wait for someone with me experience than me to guide you. I just dont want you to brick your phone. My way is use back to stock from Billard412 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086769

Then I used Toolkit to root it again using built AMA7 option for the MC2. At then end, two of my sprint note 2 are rooted and built are still MC2.

Good luck.

I cant get the recovery to flash build pamc2

thanks for the help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
Do you mean the TWRP recovery? If you dont have the newest TWRP v2.5.0.1 then get it first. Then reflash the MC2 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086769.

You should be fine.

I still have the Stock recovery, and im trying to run the tool kit to root my note, but when it get to the step for the sideload part it still have the stock recovery not sure why the twrp wont flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Steve In Orlando:
Unroot then re-root?

I've got a question.

My Sprint GN2 is on PALJC, rooted with TWRP recovery. I rooted with the toolkit when it was Version 2.

I've been getting the "Update Available" screens for a few months now and I'm finally tired of it.

I just want to update to a stock rooted ROM.

So....

Should I just unroot first using Option 2 from the Main Menu, then Option 7 (Unroot, Uninstall Busybox + Uninstall CWM), then accept the OTA update, then REROOT with Option 93 (AMC2)?

I wonder because Option 7 to unroot says "Uninstall CWM" where I have TWRP

Is there a better/different method to use than the above?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] networx2002:
So i just paid for the donated version so i would be able to root build model amc2. 1st i select 93, then select option 2 to root, then odins loads i flash the recovery it reboots and then reboots again to recovery... the issue im having is when it reboots to recovery it still the stock recovery not the twrp like i choose in obin anyone know what my issue might be?:confused:

Which Root method do you want to use?:2

USB DEBUGGING MUST BE ENABLED IN SETTINGS, DEVELOPER OPTIONS BEFORE STARTING.

The USB cable needs to be unplugged to do this. Just plug it back in afterwards.

====================================================================================

Are you ready to continue? [Type yes or no]:y

Waiting for USB debugging to be enabled

Rebooting device into Download Mode..

When Odin opens you should see that the first box at the top under ID:COM should

turn blue and 'Added' should appear in the message box in the bottom left of Odin.

====================================================================================

1. Make sure 'Auto Reboot' and 'F.Reset Time' are ticked in Odin and nothing else.

2. Click on the PDA button in Odin and browse to the Toolkit installation folder,

open the 'recovery' folder, choose the following file:

'recovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-SPHL900.tar'. Click the OPEN button to load it.

3. Make sure the file location is displayed next to 'PDA' and click on the START

button to start flashing the image.

4. When the flash completes you should see 'RESET' in the top left and the box

turns green. The device will reboot. EXIT Odin using the 'x' in the top right

FLASH CHOICE

------------

1. Push root file via adb then reboot to Custom Recovery to flash manually

2. Sideload root file [install automatically] via Custom Recovery [recommended]

3. Back to Main Menu

====================================================================================

Make your choice:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
If you have flashed custom recovery and then find the stock recovery is back when you boot into it then you have the recovery restore files present on your device, which will restore the stock recovery after a reboot.

If you dont want to root via the insecure boot image method which will rename those 2 files and prevent the stock recovery being restored, then you will need to choose the option to push the root zip file to the device and root via custom recovery (instead of the sideload method), then reboot to download mode and flash recovery as you did before BUT when the system reboots after flashing custom recovery take the cover off and pull the battery, replace it and hold Volume Up, Home and Power buttons for about 5 seconds until the device boots up into custom recovery mode. You can then go to install zip and install the root zip file. This will also rename the recovery restore files so the custom recovery should be permanent (even after reboots).

After flashing a ROM, the GN2 is unable to activate the radio/modem. The following read "Unknown" in the "About Phone" menu:

Baseband, Network, Mobile Network Type, MEID, IMEI, ICCID.....etc. Basically anything to do with the mobile network.

Problem #2:

When booted up and running, PC will not recognize the phone as usual (unable to copy files to phone).

Not knocking the toolkit in any way, but since you asked for an opinion and if you just want stock root on mc2, cf-root works flawlessly and takes at most a minute. I did it two days ago.

oh good news, I have that annoying popup about installing the update but I wanted to make sure i'm ok to do so!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
I tried search the thread, but I couldn't find the answer to my issue. Myavbe I didn't search for the right combination of words.

Basic situation, my GN2 for Sprint went FUBAR. I flash the zip to make the completely stock. I was able to keep root (there was an additional you could zip). Phone got fixed. The problem now, I'm stuck on the stock recovery. I haven't been able to figure out how to get back to TWRP. I've tried running the TWRP zip, img and tar files in the stock recovery with no luck. The zip gave a some error about failing MD5.

So, I'm trying the tool kit to flash a new recovery. Hit option 92 (Sprint 92, MA7, although I"m on MC2, but I don't think it it's going to matter since the phone is already rooted), then 2 (Flash TWRP 2.4..4.0). Tool kit downloaded some files. Tool kit when through the checks and showed stock revcovery, stock firmware, and so on.

The problem, it's not moving past "Waiting for USB debugging to be enabled". I have it enabled. It tried unabling and rebooting the phone, and then reabling. I tried going to Samsung to download the drivers for ADB, even though TK already installs them. But Smasung no longer has them on the site, and windows doesn't install them either. Other than when I first ran TK back in december, I've always had problems with the Samsung drivers and got the Hardware ID error, and thus never had ADB access. I'm presuming this is may be the underling problem. I have no KIES installed on the phone or PC.

Basically, at this point, I have no idea how to get Tool Kit working or any other method to get TWRP on to the GN2. Thanks for any help in advance.

---------- Post added at 04:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 AM ----------

I figured out my problem on the USB debugging. I forgot to hit option 1 and install the Samsung drivers. Opps. I thought it had already did so when it was installing the TK.

On a side note, when I went to select the recover file per the TK instructions, it wasn't listed. I just used the tar file I had downloaded earlier directly from TRWP (2.5.0.1) and appears to have installed fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
I m glad you were able to figure it out. Your post will be used as problem solving for others with similar situation.
