[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamingWolf:
I would use the DMC1 version. I'm assuming MF2 is a leaked firmware. Before the toolkit caught up to the latest firmware for the Sprint model I just used the most recent in the toolkit and never had a problem.

That is, of course, unless there were MAJOR changes to the firmware. But I doubt that is the case since the latest in the toolkit and the one you are running are both DM** series.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sandro8771:
Okay.Chose number 14 DM series.Did the complete as per qbking77 video guide.In settings, applications manager ive got superuser.But clicking on TB its asking for root rights.None of the root apps are working.Scratching head syndrome!

Did not boot up to recovery even took out the battery and inserted back in and reboot still no root.

In root explorer /syystem/app the superuser app is present.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamingWolf:
Which is installed Superuser or SuperSU? If SuperSU have you tried going into your app drawer and opening the app? The 1st time you open SuperSU it says that the binaries need to be updated and offers to do it for you. Whenever I flash a ROM or update SuperSU, I always make sure I open it at least once to get it set up/working.

If Superuser, while it is a decent app, I would personally go to the playstore and install SuperSU.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sandro8771:
Its the SuperSU you know it resembles the superman logo.

It did prompt to install binaries but when I clicked yes for it to do it for me it forced close a number of times. Do you think I should download from playstore to try it.Im doing it now.

Same result.Forced closed.

And even after this there is still no root.TB is still asking for root rights.

Re-edit:1959hrs 28/08/13

Only realised something when choosing boot-insecure-dmb5-recovery-N7100.tar that command prompt gave me to use there was a padlock beside it when I went to my C/drive to locate the root folder.

Sorry, tried loading the pix but couldnt.

But this is what the instructions from command prompt said that I had to choose and I chose that.

Could that be the problem.

Re-reedit:2236hrs 28/08/13

I dont know but I was forcing superuser su so many times after each force close in SU settings somehow it prompt to allow access for Universal Inti.d.

What I know is that it could only happen if there was root and then upon checking another root app superuser su popped up and everything was okay.Now ive got root.

What a relief.And what an adventure this pass couple of weeks has been.

Phewwww.

And thank you DreamingWolf for your assistance I know it wasnt much but at least you were there that actually gave me courage to try it out whatever the outcome was going to be.Thanks mate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamingWolf:
I'm just glad you got it working. I can't tell you how many times I got stuck and the people here were there to help me through. All I can do is try and pay them back by being there for those who follow. Even if I can't help, I often know where to point them, or at least offer encouragement.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jt404:
I have a Sprint Note 2 Model [SPH-L900].

I am running Android 4.1.2 with Build AMC2.

However under the Sprint Models, the Toolkit only offers Android 4.1.2 for Build AMA7. (option 92).

If I were to use the option for AMA7 (even though I have AMC2), would my phone still root successfully? Or will I run into problems and brick my phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] UnKnOwNHoMeLesSDrUnK:
I'm not sure seeing how im noobed out but you should follow qbking7's video in the op. Thats how I did it. The mc2 option should be there

XdA Premium! Step your support game up!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] guycan:
Im not near my computer to ck what version I have to the tool kit but I do remember in the donated version there was an option for Mc2

SGN2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamingWolf:
When the toolkit first starts it asks if you want to check for updates. Have you replied yes?

As to your question, I used the MA7 option for many operations on my MC2 phone before the toolkit was updated. It will work just fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
Question I want to update the firmware on a custom rom from MA7 to MC2. Can you do it with the toolkit or does it have to be all stock first..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattsm:
No the tool kit is not for updating your device, here is a flasheable firmware only thread.

I have to return my phone since I cracked the damn screen the other day and have been attempting to back up my internal sdcard to my laptop using the toolkit v. 4.30. The problem I'm having is that it gets to a certain file which it apparently cant find, and then errors out of the back up process. Is there a way to skip the missing file or files and continue on with the process?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahoslc:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] UnKnOwNHoMeLesSDrUnK:
If your friend has the mc2 build,then yes,you will need to have the donate version.

Honestly,having the option of how much you want to donate instead of a set price is extremely generous in my opinion (that is just a general feeling,not aimed at anyone,unless that anyone cries about donating of course)........ and I'm gone!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
I e mailed the dev. About getting a key for my donation. Had a system crash and did not save mine. He never answered back.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jfg69:
You need to email the dev (which I see you said you did..) to get the key. I had no problem doing that a short time ago. Try again, Skip is usually pretty good with that.

The links to the kits are also on his personal site and afaik are working.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jerdoggmckoy:
Anyone know why the links were removed? Is something wrong with this Toolkit? I purchased it way back when note 2 first came out. Haven't used it in a while, did an OS reinstall and wanted to install it again, and the links were gone. Wondering if they discovered something wrong with this or what. Hoping someone can help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jfg69:
No, it was an issue with XDA policy and the way his updater system worked if I recall correctly. I don't think it was a functionality issue and I don't think he has abandoned support of the project, but I don't personally know that.

Can't see screen!!

i rooted using toolkit v.4.1.0. However, i had upgraded to android 4.3. Could this have caused some kind of problem with my device since the toolkit did not have an option for 4.3? I can still access the CWM recovery via the toolkit, I just cant see anything on the screen (except when it boots with the Samsung boot animation. Help!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Macguyver:
So does it boot into the rom still?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mike rich:
i think it does but i cannot see anything. Screen is totally black and no button response. when i pull the battery, you hear the disconnect sound from the computer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mike rich:
Well, after 5 hours of back and forth, the answer seemed to be Kies! I was able to use it's emergency mode to retrieve the latest firmware and get everything working again.

Well, I donated to get the professional upgrade, but it only says for build 4.1.2. I'm on 4.3.

Where is the root option for 4.3??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
Calm down. The Developer might not have time to update his toolkit yet. In the meantime, you can root your MK4 follow the instruction here:

I had to go back to unrooted stock so I could get rid of the update. Not that I mind giving the man a donation, because he certainly deserves it, but it would have been nice to receive something better than the unpaid options when it offers them.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] maltydog:
So this toolkit is not maintained any more? I didn't realize. I am having some issues and I could use some advice. I had recently gone on a rooted MK4 rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541395), supposedly near stock except that it did not have the knox apps, and for some reason I lost root, though I still had clockwork recovery. I listened to advice I should'nt have and tried to restore root with the "Kingo" root app. That did not help (quite a few people on that thread said it worked), I still did not have root, but I also lost the clockwork recovery with the device. So I decided to go back to the Toolkit, as that was how I rooted the device in the first place, nearly a year ago. I choose the ALJ1 build (which I assume was a mistake since I was now on a 4.3 build) to update the all-in-one. The toolkit ran and I got a message that it was a success, but at a certain point towards the end, though various commands were going in the toolkit, nothing was visible on the screen of the phone. I got a command at the end to take out the battery and reboot the phone, which I did. As far as rebooting in a regular mode, it will now only go to the first Galaxy Note II screen, and then there is a black screen, nothing else is visible. However, I can get into both CWM recovery and download mode, so there is hope there. I am tempted to run Odin and reinstall one of my tar roms, but at this point I have made too many mistakes and I could use some other opinions before I do anything else to my phone! Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone has.

Sorry it has taken soo long to finish but im proud to release the updated Android Toolkit with added support for Samsung devices and new builds. I still have a few devices to add to the Toolkit [Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, Samsung Galaxy Camera and Samsung Galaxy Gear] but the Toolkit now supports the following:

Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Nexus 4

Nexus 5

Nexus 7 [2012]

Nexus 7 [2013]

Nexus 10

Samsung Galaxy S3

Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini

Samsung Galaxy S4 [NEW SUPPORTED DEVICE]

Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Supported devices and latest supported builds *HERE*

ChangeLog

Unified Android ToolKit v1.2.4 [Note 2 V5.0.0] 10th March 2014

+Added support for Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini,*Samsung Galaxy S4 and*Samsung Galaxy Note 2

+Updated support for latest builds in all device modules

+Root options support insecure boot and custom recovery methods [all rewritten]

+Added KNOX notification disabler for Samsung modules

+Added Root Checker to check the status of your root/busybox

+Added more help screens to the Information section and added ability to save screen and send to default printer

+Added philz_touch Advanced cwm recovery to Samsung modules [will be added to Nexus modules soon]

+Added option in build selection screen to disable all adb root functions [custom recovery functions available]

+Toolkit will disable insecure boot functions if insecure boot image not available

+Updated Samsung drivers to 1.5.33.0

+Re-wrote most of the code to Change the way lots of functions work [more efficient and more stable]

+Many more changes I can't think of right now

Existing activation codes will still work to update device modules in the Unified Android Toolkit to the pro version of the device you donated to. I am updating the Auto Updates for the newly supported devices but it's probably easier to download the full version and re-activate as it is such a big update.

If you have any feedback please send it to markskippen@gmail.com for now as emails to toolkit.support@skipsoft.net are still not coming through to me.

Hope you enjoy.

The option for my galaxy note 2 running 4.3 under root options the selection ALLINONE is disabled is there any way to enable it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bill720:
note specs

Thank you! This works very well. Just FYI to anyone getting hung up on "waiting for USB debugging to be enabled", this can be fixed by changing the usb connection mode from "MTP" to "PTP" and back to "MTP" again, all with the USB cable plugged in. The software will pick up again almost immediately after you finish selecting "MTP" that second time.

The same applies after you get done installing the custom recovery, at the part where it says "Waiting of the device to be detected", "this may take a few minutes".

It does give a weird "security warning" in the stock rom and SuperSU does FC every time I try to run it though, any ideas? It's not a huge deal to me as it is no longer an issue after flashing a custom rom/kernel, I was just kind of curious if anyone else had seen this before.

If the option is available in the Toolkit then the Toolkit knows it has all the required files. If an insecure boot image is not available for your build then all options requiring that image are disabled.
