Donator Status

How do I get donator status in order to unlock the donator features? Can I just click "donate to me" button?

Thanks

Hi mate,

I rooted using Dr.Ketan's thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2032849

Can I use your toolkit to backup EFS and restore it if needed as this is the only good way to backup EFS in my opinion.

Dr Ketan's method also involved me using Odin so maybe it's the same?

Thanks

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

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]

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 TOOLKIT AUTO UPDATE V4.1.5 [15TH APRIL 2013] AVAILABLE!!

Changelog:

+Updated CWM and TWRP Recovery to latest available versions for all variants

+Added SHV-E250L Korean LG U+ variant to support list

+Added GSM GT-N7100 [build DMC3] support

+Added LTE GT-N7105 [build DMC3] support

+Added ATT SGH-I317 [build AMA4] support

+Fixed adb procedures [backup, install] not working with insecure boot image flashed

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 your model has the fixed insecure boot images to allow adb backup and adb install without having to flash back the stock boot image then after the Auto Update has installed your model boot images will be deleted from the root folder so the new images can be downloaded.

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.

[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.

Skip, I am still trying to help a friend root his Verizon device with the L4 update, and I still cannot get his phone to accept root, is that because the L4 update locked the bootloader ?? I tried to unlock the bootloader with him on Josh's method but that failed also, any other suggestions or anyone else, I don't have a Verizon device but I really want to help my buddy root his device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhauler1969:
I know you specifically asked Mskip, however, I just successfully rooted two VZW Note 2's on the LL4 software. You must root the LL4 firmware with Adam Outler's Casual exploit, as stated in the Verizon SCH-I605 warning page in the toolkit. Casual is being a bit picky with driver installs, but it does work if done properly.

Download Casual here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2118348 If you read through the last 5 or so pages in the thread you'll see the trouble I had with drivers. You'll also find a handy little app called Zadig posted by jrloper that will force the correct drivers to be installed if CADI (Casual Automated Driver Installer) fails in Casual. Everything you need to root the LL4 firmware is in that thread. Hope this helps! :cowboy:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJB628:
Thanks for the info, I will relay the message and keep you posted, my Note II is with Sprint and took me 15 minutes to do and that was on the latest MA7 OTA release, leave it to Verizon to complicate life.

Toolkit use on VRALL4

Wanted to know if the developer edition on version VRALL4 Is indeed with an unlocked bootloader and if the root toolkit will

work with that software version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhauler1969:
If it is indeed the developer edition, i.e. Not a Verizon branded phone with the locked bootloader then yes the root toolkit will work, that is provided you didn't accept the Verizon OTA and lock the bootloader.

Developer edition phones are as a general rule factory unlocked like the Google Nexus phones.

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.

So this ToolKit will now root a stock Note 2 on 4.3? I bought the premium a couple months ago, just curious because I picked up a refurb today after I cracked my screen and I hate using Casual.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
if you read the link he says to check for supported builds, it shows all the note 2's supported to 4.3... that said I was not aware we had cracked it yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LexusBrian400:
I'm trying to use this to root but nothing is in this folder

C:\Unified_Android_ToolKit\root\GalaxyNote2

The message tookit gives me:

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:

C:\Unified_Android_ToolKit\

then open the 'root\GalaxyNote2' folder and choose the file:

''. Click the OPEN button to load it. Nothing in there

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' or 'PASS' in the top left and

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

right corner so the ToolKit can continue.

I ended up just using SafeRoot Thanks anyway.
