[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodtimes50:
I'd like to have Tasker read incoming texts to me while in the car but pause and playing media first. I have a profile setup to trigger the task and everything work, except the part about pausing the media. As it is now it just read the text over the top of the media and neither are understandable.

I've searched and I can't seem to find a reliable way to determine if media is playing, pause it, then play it again after the text is read. I'm familiar with %MTRACK, but that only works with some players (none of which I use). I typically use PlayerPro and BeyondPod, if that helps.

So, are there any creative ways to do this?

please forgive a stoop question:

from the original thread, one of the options of the toolkit is to root. So do you mean that we would need to unlock the bootloader BEFORE rooting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SOTK:
No offense meant, but why the need for a tool to root? Once you unlock, you will have a custom recovery. All you need to do is flash a Rom. All the Roms, including a stock (fully bloated) Rom will come rooted and ready to rock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] G8orDroid:
You need root before you can unlock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nunyazz:
Yea, but, his instructions say you have to unlock before you can use the toolkit... lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SOTK:
No you don't actually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Bad@$$! Thanks looking forward to it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
No offense taken. You are correct in that you need to Unlock the Bootloader using Adam's method before you can do anything and that process will provide root, busybox and TWRP Recovery. This isn't however JUST a tool to root, you can use it to backup your device, push/pull files, flash newer recoveries when available, flash an insecure kernel for adb root commands, make a nandroid backup directly to your pc, pull your Internal Storage to your pc and much more but I dont think I need to go on anymore.

The verizon devices are a bit different as you have to unlock/root/busybox/twrp before using it where other devices can do all that from scratch using the toolkit but I have been asked by ALLOT of people to provide it and so I have. There is soo much more that you can do on your device than rooting and flashing roms. If you don't want to use it thats fine :)

Mark.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jsuch2002:
Well said..... Nobody said anyone had to download it or use it!!!!

Sent from my most awesome phone EVER!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] G8orDroid:
Yes, you do, actually.

Just try to run Casual on an unrooted device. Unless I am sorely mistaken, the main purpose of flashing the Revision3 rom prior to running Casual is to get root privileges on the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SOTK:
That was my whole point from the beginning. You don't need "to root" to unlock. You flash Revision 3 which is already pre-rooted. The whole unlock process gets you unlocked, rooted, and a recovery. At what point do you need a tool to root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nutpn:
thanks skip

Will my other 3 donate numbers work on this one, Im a lil stretched here at christmas, but after I can hit you up with some more donations, havent tried the other numbers I got from you to see if it will activate the paid version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] G8orDroid:
LOL, "Tomato / Tomahto".

But I think you also made my point as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SOTK:
I want you to know I appreciate anybody who developes on Android so, again no offense meant, but everything this tool can do can be done without it so I don't quite understand the need for it except for the sake of simplicity. The problem I've run into with some people who use tools like these is they don't ever learn anything except to plug in their device and press some keys on the keyboard. I can't tell you how many friends and acquaintances have sought my help for a bricked device or other such problems who've used automated tools. Most of them don't know what ADB is (some don't even understand what a recovery is and how to properly use it) and yet their device is unlocked and rooted with a recovery installed. My point is that although simplicity can be nice, it breeds incompetency. Don't you think?

I was thinking EXACTLY THE SAME THING, I just didn't want to say it LOL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Hey mskip just curious what version of the drivers are included in this toolkit?

I am currently running version 1.5.9.0 and wondering if thats the newest. No matter what version of drivers I've used I'm having serious problems getting my phone to work properly as an MTP device. I get some "missing hardware ID" error. Any ideas or has anyone else had the same problem?

Edit: I unpacked the Toolkit and see that it is a new version of drivers so that's cool. 1.5.16.0 vs 1.5.9.0, nice. Unfortunately I'm still getting wierd problems with the drivers not working. I blame Microsoft lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
I totally agree with your that making things simple can have its downside and im not getting into the whole "we hate toolkits they should be banned" argument though I know thats not your objective.

I make my toolkits for 3 reasons:

1. People like myself who know their way around the manual approach and just want to be able to do things faster. These types of people don't even need to use the toolkit but it just makes life a bit easier

2. People who want to be able to root, busybox, push/pull files, flash files but just arent that technically minded and cant get their head around adb\fastboot commands. I know some people would say "well if you cant figure it out then you shouldnt be doing it" but im not that arrogant and if I can help someone I will.

3. People who get in trouble for any reason and would probably end up throwing their device away or spamming the forum with threads asking for help. I provide very detailed help and instructions for everything the toolkit does which makes it easy to follow even for the most basic user to follow.

Now if people dont want to use my toolkits thats fine but if people dont agree with toolkits then they should also disagree with chainfires cf-root or paul o'brians superroot. I know I have helped allot more people than I ever could by running a 'teaching' thread and and at the end of the day all I care about is helping as many people as possible :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mskip:
The toolkit uses the Samsung usb driver pack 1.5.16.0 which is the latest I believe.

Mark.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xweaponx:
Thank you mskip!

I had already rooted and unlocked the bootloader on my phone before downloading your toolkit. However I had a glitch in my recovery and used your toolkit to re-install the CWM recovery!

Although simplicity allows for others to "float" along, I have realized that you can not hold yourself responsible for the choices people make. I too once preferred one-click methods but I got much more involved once I started getting my hands dirty and have learned a great deal more about my devices...

Regardless, I was pleased to use your toolkit to perform a simple action since I have my phone setup up ideally and don't flash roms much.

Again, Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] infinit22:
Does it matter if the phone is on ICS or JB?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NB2A:
I am using Chainfire root exploit. Do I still need to unlock bootloader first to use this Mark? I am having trouble with conflicting info on bootloader thread to do so.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
Yes, you need to unlock it first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 TOOLKIT AUTO UPDATE V3.1.0 [21ST DEC 2012] AVAILABLE!!

Changelog:

+Added CWM 6.0.2.5 Recovery Images for ATT, LTE, Sprint, TMobile + Verizon

+Updated all the root/unroot procedures for more stability

+Added Sideload any zip file via Custom Recovery [CWM or TWRP] to Main Menu

+Added support for TMOBILE [SGH-T889] build JRO03C ALK8

+Added option to disable Verizon Start Info Screen via Toolkit Settings

+Changed NAND Restore path to /data/media to support JB4.2 [when it arrives to the device]

For people who do not want or cannot get the Auto Update versions you can download cwm touch from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and use the Toolkit to create a tar file and flash it via odin. The Toolkit just makes it ALLOT easier.

I have uploaded all of my toolkits to goo.im so if you ever need to download one click on the link in my sig.

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

Enjoy :)

Flashing recovery?

Wanted to make a nandroid of my Note, before did anything major to it-- I tried flashing the insecure bootloader, and custom recovery, using the 3.0 toolkit (Options 3&5 under the verizon menu) -- neither would flash.

Isn't the insecure bootloader, the hack that I hear everyone talking about? Or is that something else I need to do, THEN flash that or the recovery?

And,while I'm thinking of it, what are the benefits/cons to using TWRP vs CWM/CWMT?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] computerslayer:
Hello Mark,

Thank you for an easy & quick-to-use tool for the Galaxy Note II. After unlocking the bootloader via Adam Outler's instructions, your tool made quick work of rooting it. Sent a modest donation your way and want to thank you more publicly as well. As a simple user, I am very grateful for all the work you developers put in and share so that we can all get the full potential of our devices.

Thank you.

Note 2, unlocked, rooted, looking for stock image

i have successfully rooted and unlocked my galaxy note 2 on verizon thanks to all the help of Adam Outler, XDA Developers, and my personal favorite tutorial guide Droid Modder X, Unfortunately when i flashed the JB rom from Beanstown i had the option of switching external and internal memory, which i thought was a good idea at the time. now my note 2 will do nothing except basic operation, cant flash anything via recovery because it wont even recognize my sd card now because it is full, it's all messed up. At this point i'm thinking flash stock image back up memory and restore, but i'm nervous to lose my root, and unlocked bootloader. I dont know if i use the toolkit to push back to stock will i lose unlock or cause any horriffic damage? Thanks again for all your help!

i used this tool to unlock my bootloader, root, but i didnt apply any recovery except for the regular 3e or whatever it is. coming from nexus i am not al lthat used to the process on how to work when new updates are out. Now 4.1.2 is out but i cant have it since it complains about my device beeing "altered" or however to explain it... i guess unlocked bootloader does that to you... if i restore back.. unroot and lock the bootloader again, would that be enough for it to be "stock" again ? I am reading up on the flashcounter bs that just seem completely stupid... never had those issues on my first galaxy s ;)

how should i approach this to get the newest update? i know i could install a new version with odin but i would like to do it the ota way if possible and keep my setup as it is so to speak.

Note sure what is going on with the toolkit but I have donated and put in my unlock code and everything has been working smoothly for a few days. Went to launch it today on 2 different PC's ( not an install issue) and it is stuck in check for update. I putting in Y or N at the prompt and it comes back with the same question. So the program will not fully launch.

Never mind now it is working. Maybe a glitch with the update server... It is a bit scary that the program is dependent on a server to function.
