Adam, I've reeped the benefit of your exploits for the S3 and GN2 and appreciate everything you do for the Android community. As you're probably aware, Verizon (and other carriers) sent an OTA that upgrades the bootloader and prevents root/loki on the Verizon S4. There's a bounty of $400+ (last time I checked) floating around on XDA. I'm sure you're already working on an exploit, but I'd love to see you claim the reward.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
In the sense of the posters concern it is a false positive, I know it is an exploit, but I was trying to get the point across it isn't malicious.

Posting with a lack of sleep may have caused the thought to come out worded wrong.

Casual is not working for me. Here's the rundown:

Brand-spankin'-new VZW Note 2 (I605) w/ 4.1.2 VRAMC3 firmware. (phone info screenshot here)

Using (or trying to use) Casual nightly build R722b (just noticed 723 is out, I'll try that next), following instructions from this thread.

USB Debugging is enabled (dev options screenshot here), Windows can access files on the phone, and ADB run from command-line can detect and control the device (tested by running 'adb devices' and 'adb reboot'), but Casual still says "Link status: Disconnected".

I've tried three different USB cables (including the brand-new one that came with the phone), four different USB ports, and even a separate computer, both without pre-installing drivers and with; none of this made any difference.

Both computers are running Windows 7 64-bit. My laptop can dual-boot into Linux, so I may try it that way.

Any other ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shaffer678:
I had problems last week. I uninstalled my antivirus and bam! Worked like a charm first time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rhainor:
Tried, no luck.

Got a bit more info, though.

I tried running CASUAL from command-line (specifically, running Windows PowerShell as Administrator, browsing to my desktop, and running 'java -jar VZW-Gnote2-CASUAL-NoYouVerizon-CASUAL-R723b-Nightly')

In the PowerShell window, the following message appears:

Just wanted to mention that it didn't work for me on Mac (10.8.4). Had phone in ADB mode, had 2 different cables to try with (both high quality cables), and even restarted comp and switched USB ports. Never got it to work on Mac. Kept getting an error with Heimdall.

Worked on Windows 7 via Parallels though, easily. Didn't have a single problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I had the same issue until I installed the drivers directly from samsung website, if you have any drivers associated with the phone, remove them, if they are windows drivers leave them alone, the ones from samsung website will work and make sure your using a port in the back of your computer or near the power jack if on a laptop.

If anti virus is blocking and is like avast, put it to sleep for a while.

I was getting a similar error but my virus scan kept popping up to block it. Turned of virus scan and worked fine

Hello All,

I have successfully flashed another Note II over the weekend and have verified my computer, cable and USB ports are working fine. I too am stuck. After reading nearly 20 hours of posts and looking at different site, downloading different ROM Versions and different PIT files I run into the same problem on one phone. They started a new tread for me here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45910703#post45910703

I read one article that stated the ROM might be "read only" and I'm unsure how to get around this problem. Here is my situation... I can SUCCESSFULLY flash my rom (according to Ordin) but when my phone goes to reboot it simply turns off. I am also unable to get to the "system recovery menu" and reset the device. Ay suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yep.. Keep in mind that the nightlies are unstable. For example, I had to disable kill-switching and updates two days ago in order to make things work properly without try-catching a null-pointer exception. However, aside from on-the-fly updates and kill-switch(which has never been used on this exploit), the nightlies are way better than the stable here.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rhainor:
Always look at what triggered the detection--if it says something like "generic" or "heuristic" in the virus description, that means it didn't find something it knows is a virus, but rather something that looks kinda like a virus. A lot of Android rooting tools will look like viruses to AV software because, well, they include code for hacking into an operating system and gaining privileges the OS makers don't want us to have, similar to normal malicious rootkits.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scottay5150:
It wasn't detected by a scan until I was getting popups and the usual crap with malicious stuff, from the link.

Causal since I had Geek Squad clean my laptop 6 different times before they figured out the code that was causing the issues. It was not a antivirus warning. It was loads of bad stuff in the link. Weather it was actually a link full of bad stuff or by clicking the link would cause the activation of other bad stuff that was in my computer, I am not computer savvy enough to know this....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I'm shocked geek squad managed to clean it once since they told my last customer her laptop main board was shot... the filesystem was corrupt in the boot loader lol, i doubt Adam would give out a virus, are you guys sure you weren't click jacked?

I'm pretty sure that the link wasn't initially put out as a bad link. But I don't know all of the lingo like click jacked. I'm thinking that's what happened. I re-download casual and no issues...

Thank you for extensive development of program. I used it to root my Galaxy note 2 N7100 (not from Verizon) and followed the instructions. Now Phone is stuck in the loop of initial screen then blank screen then initial screen....

That how I was all night. I tried EVERYTHING on here. Then I downloaded the original root66 and flashed that in odin. Then I took the ota and rebooted. I then ran the jailbreak step by step and it worked flawlessly. Hope this helps anyone else who was using rev2 of root66 and getting stuck on nand write.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PsychoSimatic:
One thing I am noticing that is kind of different on these attempts is that after the first Odin Flash of the BAVBaseline.tar.md5 file, CASUAL reboots the device but then sends it right back into Download mode.

Odin will show RES status and like the tips said if you wait for about a minute it will switch to PASS, all while your phone is sitting there in download mode. I leave the CASUAL pop up open (The You Must flash the final exploit with Odin3....) and at this point I close Odin and reopen it

CASUAL still shows that exploit injection was done and it says Window Detected: please install base line message

Here i leave the pop up open and go to odin

Selecting BackAtchaVerizon.tar.md5 and waiting a second to verify it and all that. then clicking Start I sit and wait at <ID:0/024> NAND Write Start!!

I'm trying to be as thorough as possible to maybe help you understand what we could be doing wrong or just save someone else the trouble.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] larry_thagr81:
If it's not rebooting your device at all, not even for the first flashing then check and make sure you have enabled USB debugging mode in the phone settings under developer options, that you have the latest version of Java running on you windows 7 computer and that you are running the latest version of CASUAL that can be found on the first page of this thread.

If you successfully flashed the first file, make sure that you shut down ODIN in between flashes.

PROBLEM SOLVED!

But seriously, I reflashed the Rev3 I found linked somewhere and it worked fine. Anything else besides Rev 3 and Rev 1 dont work from what i've just trialed. So anyone stuck where I was flash to one of those roms and you should be fine.
