Just got another VZW Note 2 and I downloaded the latest CASUAL. This time, the root/unlock went flawless...however, for some reason or another, when I connect either of my Note 2's to my laptop now, I do not see the phone drive letter to allow me to copy files back and forth. Not sure if my drivers got messed up this time around. I tried removing/reinstalling the Samsung drivers, but it didn't work. I don't have Kies installed, but I don't believe I need it cuz if I plug in my phones on my desktop, I can see the phone drive letter just fine. Both of my laptop and desktop use Windows 7 64 bit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhauler1969:
Does either phone tell you it's connected as an installer? If yes pull down the notification bar, click the USB notification, and select connect as an MTP device. Then it should allow you to transfer files been the phone and laptop.

However, I'd suggest you read through the last page or two of this thread and correct the driver issues in device manager on your laptop(s).

MAC not WINDOWS

So i bought mine 4 days ago and immediately went into research mode. After hours of surfing the web it seemed that there were only options for Windows and Linux. Every link popped me to a thread that talked about Windows and Linux only... then when visiting the OP the videos gave me the impression that it was only Windows and Linux as well.

After having NO LUCK in Windows 7 or Windows 8 I began to feel desperate. Finally today I decided to read the entire thread and find the real answers when I stumbled on the single line saying that MAC works best. Needless to say I laughed and cried as I am a MAC user by default. I think it may help to update the OP with a vid showing the MAC process or a bolded text... as the fact that there are LARGE vids under Windows and Linux make it appear as if those are the versions to use.

May sound dumb... but just giving my feedback. It was amazing in mac... took all of 30 seconds and I was in recovery!

If it helps... I would happily do the video for the OP... I currently do some videos for the XBMC platform under the XBMCHUB Helpers title... that is to say, I have done a few ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
your problem is that you installed drivers. Don't do that. Windows does it. There's bad driver packages out there.

Thanks everyone for all of the suggestions! I went down the list of posts and tried it all. It was finally this person's suggestions with Java SE/JDK and SDK install instructions with path edits that did it for me! Finally hooked up with CASUAL:

i've installed heimdall countless number of times and it won't ever get past that. it just loops back into it. i've redownloaded CASUAL and swapped cords and usb ports
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
Lets try removing any remnants of Heimdall

sudo rm /bin/heimdall
sudo rm /usr/bin/heimdall
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/heimdall
sudo rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions/heimdall.kext

Then rerun the CASUAL and install Heimdall

Get back to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Versatile1:
Im getting a permission error. CASUAL tells me to run as admin. I am admin and even set java and cmd prompt to run on the admin level. First step after it boots into download mode it throws a switch...

Any help, or a .bat would be great. I would do it manually if I could see what order.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
I don't know why it would be requesting Admin, the manifest isn't setup for Administrator.

Try this:

Then battery pull, reboot, retry CASUAL.

P.S.) I only need the log if it fails to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Versatile1:
Same results
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
Do you see the last line in the log? copy the log and paste it into a pastebin or here. I can't tell what's going on without that. It's likely that your virus scanner tore up the Windows permissions escillator.

Jeremy, can you reproduce this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
I haven't seen that since before the manifest was modified to highestAvailable, I need the log to make any certain determination.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Versatile1:
Looks like it was giving that error because the computer wasn't connected to the internet.

I guess the script thought a firewall was blocking it so the "administrative permission" switch went.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
I was going to ask you about that, I saw the disconnected wireless. I assumed you were docked and using a wired connection.

Please stop conversing and paste your log. Just as the error message said. we need the log!

ran all of the above commands with the same result. Casual installs heimdall but never locates the files when i run it again, so it keeps trying to install Heimdall

i need help ive done everithing i can think off... uninstalling drivers reinstalling them. uninstaling them again and letting the casual install them.i tried different ports diff cables im out of ideas if anyone can help me id greatly apreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] soba49:
Unreasonable feature request

Has any consideration been given to doing an uninstall script*? It would be nice if users could uninstall heimdall and all the drivers put in by CASUAL. If nothing else, it would make it easier for those of us who have jailbroken with a previous version of CASUAL to test new versions.

*: I don't mean for the root process, etc. there's stock odin images for that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
reboot your computer.

Here's a new version of CASUAL based on SVN Revision 417. It should work. http://d-h.st/clA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
Just updated the first post with CASUAL R417. disregard the fact that it says 416 in the code. it's 417. I committed while building.

If you have a problem with this, thanks to jrloper, you can now go to About>Show Log> Pastebin. It will copy your log to pastebin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
For removing the Windows drivers, yes it's currently in development.

For Linux/Mac, maybe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
There is no need to uninstall. CASUAL's set up mostly in the temp folder. For windows the libusb driver is installed only to a single port for a single device. its not cluttering up your system. For Mac and Linux, Heimdall is small and irrelevant if not in use. There's no reason to uninstall unless you're just being silly like that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] soba49:
I know CASUAL barely leaves any footprint at all. After reading a post instructing the user to remove heimdall and the drivers and then try again, I thought it might be useful to restore any system to baseline so that CASUAL could have the fresh system it expects on its first run. At the time I used CASUAL, I wound up doing several steps manually, installing my own heimdall from source, etc., so I've never seen CASUAL perform the last few steps itself, I guess it's RC3 now (which in the change log has a few remarks about libusb), but I don't know whether or not it includes a fresh build of the front end (which CASUAL itself doesn't need) for instance. That was a mouthful.

In retrospect though, I reconsidered. Even though the exploit process itself is a relatively short number of steps, it's an extraordinarily ambitious process to fit CASUAL to any PC that might be out there. Most of the problems hanging up CASUAL that a baseline would be useful for are difficult to predict. Many are issues preexisting & outside of CASUAL: incorrect drivers installed in advance, Exynos Abuse exploits already in place, non stock ROMs, bad cables, bad ports, and things that you can't just clean up with a script. So you're right, that idea may not be particularly practical.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
I felt it best, CADI shouldn't leave any traces behind, as well as used being able to remove the driver if it were installed in Android mode on accident.

CADI may be making a leap from C++ to Java, so we may see that capability from the same program, rather than two.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] george241312:
Ok i have a problem ... CASUAL Works on the Note 2 However

After it installs its own drivers it cant connect other phones and flash them to odin how do i remove the drivers it installed ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
Connect your phone in download mode, Open Device Manager check for "Samsung Android Device" under "Universal Serial Bus devices".

If you find it right click on the device and Select "Uninstall", when you get the dialog confirmation, check the "Delete driver software for this device", then select "Scan for hardware changes" from the "Actions" menu
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhauler1969:
^^^That needs to be stickied in this thread, as does Zadig. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
It's easier just to use a separate USB port for CASUAL/Heimdall and Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcustaz:
Adam I agree but for the avg noob this may be a bit advanced... :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlpineMan:
After the CADI drivers were installed on my Windows 7 64bit laptop, my laptop could no longer detect any of my Note 2's after CASUAL finished its thing. Reconnecting, changing usb cables, rebooting, reinstalling Kies, reinstalling original Samsung drivers, etc. didn't work. I went ahead and did a system restore and chose a restore point date prior to me running CASUAL. After the system restore, my laptop can detect my Note 2's again.

Not sure if there's a better way to remove the CADI drivers, but the above method worked for me.

[MENTION=3682533]AdamOutler[/MENTION] can you add this to the OP?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzghcV8HVVk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
Did you install Heimdall? CASUAL will not show Connected when your device is in download/odin mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skilover:
I did install Heimdall, that part went fine. I have no idea WHERE it installs it, but it said it completed no problem. It THEN says to unplug and replug in the phone to a different USB port. No matter what I do at that point, it never says connected. However, you are saying it won't. So I guess my question is, is it normal for it to ask me to unplug and replug in the phone? if not, then we have a problem. If so, how do I know it's working if it never says "connected" when in download mode (which it is).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
Yes it is normal, Heimdall will error if it can't find your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skilover:
So, you are saying to just leave it be and it will now proceed normally? I have to say, nothing happens, but I'lll wait longer and see how it goes. Meantime, I'd like to suggest you at least note this procedure on the OP. I watched the video on the Linux process, which should be relatively similar, and there was no plugging and unplugging the phone in the middle.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skilover:
OK, tried again, fresh cable, same result. It goes fine, installs Heimdall, asked to be unplugged I do so and plut it in, and then just wait and wait and wait. There is something wrong, it doesn't seem to be executing Heimdall after it downloads.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
okay so this question has probably been asked, but I'm running 4.1.1 VRALL4. is this still able to use CASUAL? I've read the OP but want sure what the latest update that vzw has pushed. sorry for the ignorant question
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhauler1969:
Yes, I've rooted & unlocked two VZW Note 2's running the VRALL4 firmware in the last week. I'd suggest reading through the last ten pages or so of this thread to avoid some of the common driver issues if you're using Windows or Mac.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skilover:
Macs dont have drivers in the same way as Windows.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhauler1969:
Okay, but in the last ten pages or so of this thread there have been several Mac users having problems getting Casual to run that may be helpful. That was really my point, as I have never owned, or used a Mac. All computers use drivers in some form or fashion, and most of the users problems that I've seen in this thread can be traced back to driver issues in one way or another.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skilover:
You are correct on the issue of Mac problems--I am one of them, just look up a few posts. It's not due to "drivers", however. I am at a loss as to the exact issue. In my case, the computer connects initially, but then fails to connect. So far, no success.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
CASUAL will work on all known firmwares for Verizon Note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
thanks bro, I'll definitely read the last 10 pages and update myself with this. i just don't want to brick it, lol. thank you though; lots of help here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhauler1969:
Thanks, just trying to pass on what I've learned "jailbreaking" mine & the wife's Note 2's, with much thanks to jrloper & Adam for helping me along the way. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skilover:
No Kies installed on computer. I have something called "android file transfer agent" that was a start up item. I have no idea if that's similar. I do have the android SDK installed, which contains adb software, ; adb also is running in the background. I have no idea how adb gets going, as it isn't a start up process. I have now force quit it.

Other ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
Have you tried rebooting? I don't have a 64bit Mac to test with. My Mac is 32 bit. There's a package in this thread somewhere that has an mpkg and a DMG installer. Do a search for those. Let me know what works for you. I can make changes to the repo so that it downloads what it needs on the fly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
another random question that is opinion based: with running casual, which is easier; running it on Windows 7 x64 or running it on Linux based OS?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skilover:
I've tried searching the forum, and can find no mpkg (whatever that is) and/or DMG installer for 64 bit Heimdall. Not only that, but I've googled for it, and cannot find that, either, based upon the current version 1.4 RC2

Are you saying the version of Heimdall that Casual is downloading is for a 32 bit machine? I'd be surprised if no one who's used this successfully did it on a 64 bit Mac, they are common now.

I'm also wondering if I have a conflict with the ADB software I already have. Perhaps I should just find a Windows machine--I assume this truly works on Windows.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] soba49:
By the way, you can execute shell commands in-line with backticks ( ` ), on Mac and Linux. `command` expands out to its output, so:

`which heimdall` close-pc-screen

Is a shorter version of your command. Also semicolons string multiple commands on one line

`which heimdall` close-pc-screen ; echo "Heimdall is located in [`which heimdall`]"; echo Done...

The original heimdall .DMG* is linked here, post 542:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38292025#post38292025

The first link has the DMG file, the second link has a ZIP with a pkg inside it

The original 1.4 RC2 build I did on my 64 bit Mac is here (but no installer):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37308099#post37308099

*: I believe this is based on my RC2 build. I think CASUAL is installing 1.4 RC3 builds on some platforms, and some of those may be 32 bit, but I wasn't a part of any of that process.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skilover:
The DMG link is dead. I downloaded the zip, sudu installed it, and tested it with "Which Heimdall", which led to :"/usr/bin/Heimdall" . I believe it's installed. I then ran Casual, which proceeded to install it's own Heimdall...and ended up exactly where I did yesterday. Perhaps you need to have us do the manual Heimdall install, then point Casual at that application, and go from there. Kind of like the more manual process that you use on Windows with Odin. The other thing I noticed yesterday is if I kill ADB in my process manager while it's waiting, unable to connect, Casual starts spewing out code to the phone, as it thinks it's connected up. Again, perhaps we should just go with the flow, and make it a bit more hands on so it will work. That's all I've got...
