I finally got it past that point. Rebooting several times and changing ports. I get to the Zadig and I see no drivers? What step did I miss or what did I do wrong here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
if your in TWRP you can just select reboot

You missed nothing, normally Zadig will populate the device list itself; on occasion it doesn't, simply Click Options -> List All Devices

If I need to unroot what would I do? I downloaded Galaxy_Note2_Toolkit but is says that if my phone is already rooted I can't use the tool kit.

Could just be a coincidence but either way thanks for this. Just got my Note last night and didn't have much time to fool with it but have tried about 10-15 times to get CASUAL to run and it either couldn't connect or it would fail when initializing protocol but I went ahead and redownloaded from your link just from reading the previous person's problem and I either had a bad DL before or I dunno because it worked like a charm this time. It was killing me not to have Paranoid Android on this thing yet. Thanks guys for the work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cookemandan:
I am trying to figure out the best way to have a safety net should I need to unroot being a Mac user. Is there a method that is easy should my phone need to be sent back for any reason? Or should I make a bootable Linux Flash drive? I am not sure considering I do not own a Windows machine less than 10 years old nor do I want too. I really appreciate your hard work everyone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
In theory Heimdall is capable of flashing Odin files, its just not setup to. Maybe we'll see that functionality in the near future, who knows.

I would recommend to anyone wanting to do a flash that large from a Mac, to just use Odin either via Parallels Desktop or Bootcamp.

Its just safer, personally I wouldn't take any chance of a brick just to avoid running Windows for an hour.

Alright. Now I think something is really messed up. I clicked Gadget Serial and hit Replace Driver. Now it has this:

And My phone is stuck on the Downloading... with the green Android screen. Am I bricked? :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] THEbigSWEEN:
Nope not bricked. That's where mine kept getting stuck at. You just need to unplug, pull the battery, then close CASUAL and start the process over. If it keeps happening try a different USB port to see if it'll help. I had to try 10-15 different times with it hanging at different points and not getting a connection from the device, but don't give up hope! It eventually worked for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lepryy:
Phew! Thanks man. Now, what should I do when I get to that point where it says you need drivers? The proper driver isn't even listed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] THEbigSWEEN:
Your phone should be in download mode (the green android with "downloading") when it asks you for the drivers and you will select "gadget serial" then "replace drivers"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyinid:
no, it was w8. Each time i ran it id get one step closer. Took like 10 tries before it went straight through with no errors. Linux finished first try on both phones, even though it said it failed at the end.

Confused on which update this exploit is for

got my note a few months ago and rooted using adams casual exploit.

I don't want to mess things up, so i'll go ahead and ask....

Is this exploit for the latest OTA update we are now receiving? Haven't been here in a while and clicked on "check for update" yesterday, and, boom, there was an update. didn't even know it was coming. now I keep getting the reminder everytime I wake my phone.

is this causal exploit for the most recent update?

btw, i'm rooted with stock rom.

if this is for the new update, can I just run it on an already rooted phone?

many thanks...chum
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] THEbigSWEEN:
I actually just got my Note the other day so not exactly sure on when the last update was released but as far as I know this is the most up to date. You should NOT accept any OTA's if you are rooted/unlocked but as for running this with an already rooted phone I'm not exactly sure if it would hurt it or not. I would say if you're already rooted then just rely on updates from whatever ROM you're using because they'll always be miles ahead of Verizon's updates.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Romeo20:
Hi Forums,

I need some of your experiences in using Adam new method. I read through the post and some had success using Odin, placing the two files in Bootloader slot. Yet, some said they had success placing Bootloaderbaseline and Backatchaverizon in the PDA slot. I tried both slot and all fail. Odin ran the file and report fail. I failed on the first file, the Bootloaderbaseline. Did not even get to the Backatchverizon part.

I used window XP. I used Odin 3.07.

I had use Adam old bootloader unlocked first method with success on another phone for a friend.

Now, I bought this phone with VRALL4 version, Odin it back to using Imnut VRALJB file. I use the one with unlocked bootloader. I use the stock version, download was slow, but MD5 sum check ok with Odin. Ran Odin, fail.

I use the first Unlocked by Adam, failed. I tried this method and fail. Any suggest would greatly appreciate.

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
There's just one file in the OP, and it has nothing to do with Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
I'm going to run through and update everything this weekend. The file in the OP is not compatible with Mac. I need to make it so.

Problem with one click with Verizon Note 2

Adam, I ran your one click solution and I got past installing the drivers but it fails on the protocol, any suggestions? Also someone had asked earlier about the drivers not showing any selection in the dropdown. You have to select list all drivers from the menu on the top of the window. I don't remember which menu it is under but I think there is only 4 to choose from...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
You're not giving me any information to work with. Post the log from About>show log, and let me know the OS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyinid:
start over, thats what happened to me in w8. I just kept trying it worked eventually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] candreas:
Will do...

I will try again tonight. Will the log file from last night's attempt still be there? The OS is Windows 7 Pro, the phone is the Verizon Galaxy Note 2.

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

But should it really work that way? Should I have to do that? Will my phone be bricked using that approach if it never works?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
The protocol issue is a goofy one, it comes and goes. Make sure you're using a quality USB cable (preferably the one which comes with the phone), and try different USB ports.

As far as "bricking your phone", that's always an inherent risk when flashing & modifying the firmware. To date, I don't believe anyone has gotten a "hard brick" from this method. As long as your phone can reach download mode, its at worst a "soft brick"; which is fixable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyinid:
like he says, there is always *some* risk. But in this case, its low. It happened to me several times, unlocking failed. I just started over. After several failed attempts it finally went straight through with no errors.

You can unroot from within the root app. You can flash back to stock with Odin.

You shouldn't have to unroot. Casual will get you where you need to be. Rooting is actually the first step Casual takes.

Help???

If I rooted using the Exynos Exploit and have the kernel patch, can I use this method straight away or do I have to flash the stock rom again using Odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlpineMan:
I've tried this on 4 different Windows 7 machines. They all get stuck at the point where it shows I'm supposed to re-install drivers (Heimdall drivers?) for the "Gadget Serial". All machines already have this driver in the OS, so this device doesn't show up in the list of devices whose drivers need to be reinstalled.

I tried to manually remove the device in Device Manager, but as soon as this Heimdall driver reinstall comes up, Windows automatically installs the Samsung drivers that's already present in the machine.

I attached a screenshot.

*** UPDATE ***

Got it working. During the driver install, I chose list all devices. Then picked Gadget Serial.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlpineMan:
deleted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] simplicity05:
Having a lot of problems with this.

I finally got it figured out that Casual will see a VM machine (BlueStacks) as a connected device and stonewall the process if you don't shut that down. Being that it was running the background, I originally missed this.

Once I got that sorted out, I got to the driver screen. I selected the only "Gadget" option I had, hit the button, and everything seemed good.

My phone went into "Dowloading... Do not turn off target!!" mode, and Casual stated "Failed to initialize protocol" and it's hung right here. How do I proceed and eventually free my phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bostonbassman78:
Pull battery try over it takes a couple times to work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] simplicity05:
Seems odd that multiple times is status quo... Pulled battery and trying again.

Edit - looks like it stuck on the second go around. Thanks for the help. This is my first root, so where do I go from the Team Win screen? never mind, clicked reboot -> System and got back to my homescreen. Thanks for the help!

I'm flipping the kill-switch on this CASUAL for a few hours. there will be a new version available soon. Please bare with me. I am restructuring the repository so as to make future upgrades possible. Windows is broken and Mac is broken.

If you're using Linux, you can avoid the kill-switch by disconnecting from the internet during the process.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JamesCaywood:
hey

does this still work ?? I rooted my phone on odin how do I unlock the bootloader?i need help anyone please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xda-arcane:
Not 'right now'

The kill switch has been flipped while update are being made to the program, your jailbreak will fail. check back in the next few days and check status in post #1 under 'updates' This method is by far and away the best, so just wait a few and it will be back online.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JamesCaywood:
there no way to unlock boot loader on odin another way ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
Please stand by. I expect to have everything working again today. The purpose of the down-time is to ensure there will be no Downtime in the future. I'm working on it now...

Basically, its down because jrloper and myself are reworking and upgrading. the CASUAL repository system. It will soon be infinitely expandable and able to pull resources from anywhere.

An unfortunate side-effect of this is Quality Control takes a bit of time.. as we test, its getting better, faster, accommodating for more errors, performing more troubleshooting, becoming safer and even accounting for errors in data transfer across the internet.

Its almost ready.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JamesCaywood:
alright bro Thanks take your time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flip35:
Thank you sir, i got scare i thought i did something wrong, lol, i dropped my wifes phone and cracked the screen.i had used this method before because is the bomb, so just got a new one for her and will used the same method when its ready. thank you for your hard work for us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jimm2:
Just my luck. Bought a new new Note 2 today and was looking forward to unlocking it.

Maybe I missed it but I didn't see any other method to unlock the bootloader if you're running the latest OTA. Is that correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] D-FUSE:
thanks dude I just got a note 2 today
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bpopilek:
Thanks for all your hard work Adam! I can't wait for it to be back up and on-line. Just finally restored to stock and did the OTA update today. Good chance to get some junk cleared out of the phone, but already missing my root! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
It's uploading now. Expect R401b soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
And.... Bif is up.. http://d-h.st/Bif... love that URL name... Bif :)

Revision 401b

CASUAL now starts faster thanks to multithreading. Its update system has become totally dynamic and easily upgradable as well as infinitely expandable.

It makes Windows easier. Thanks to jrloper's CADI (CASUAL Automated Driver Installer), There's no picking and choosing. In fact, you click "yes" and it will install drivers for ANY Samsung device in Download Mode. The VCRedist is next-next-next and you're unlocked.

It makes Mac easier. You can be a braindead monkey and still manage to get through it! It's really simple. This was only tested on a 32 bit mac, but it should work easier than any other system. CASUAL will automatically pick the proper binaries to install and then launch it.. You click next, next next and CASUAL Unlocks

For Linux, there's no fix for having to enter a permissions elevation password every time. You will have to do your UDEV rules to make it any easier.

I think we just about have this down to a science.. All platforms supported by platform manufacturers are supported at this time.

can you update a tutorial video on how to unlock the boot loader please I have it rooted already for Odin version 4.1.1

Still having an issue.. The device in the very beginning goes into download mode.. but then a message pops up saying "the device is not being detected."

Its telling you that because Windows does not see the device. If windows sees the device, Heimdall attempts to execute. Follow the directions. I have several USB cables that simply won't work for download mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
That's something you have installed on your computer from Verizon, nothing to do with CASUAL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
Make sure that you are rooted and don't have root disabled. Some methods will block CASUAL if you disable root.

Gotcha.. Ill try the usb cable that came with the device(is that what you recommend?), considering I was using a different one... Also, for some reason when I try to reboot into Odin mode.. I don't get odin or download mode anymore. I get Android Stock Recovery System with a Green Android guy and then he falls over???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
Odin mode is Download mode.

Volume UP + Home + Power = Recovery

Volume DOWN + Home + Power (then volume UP to confirm) = Download Mode

You're not putting your device into Download mode before running CASUAL are you?
