hahah what? I was offering you a mirror to host your files.... it wasn't a loaded question......:eek:.

I'm a linux engineer and host thousands of servers - and i have a personal one that i could hosts these files on for you for free but if not no worries....

And the download speeds has nothing to do with *my* server.........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Psyanide:
For some reason, the first time CASUAL says it is rebooting into download mode, nothing happens. If I continue, it asks if I've flashed to BAVBaseline (which I have) then it injects the exploit and goes into download mode at that time.

Not sure if that is why I'm hanging on the bootloader BAV flash or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
You're right! I just pushed out my first update. if you run it again, CASUAL will put your device into download mode :)

Let me know if this isn't needed or if it's annoying Windows users!

Yeah.. i botched it.. should be working now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BeansTown106:
awesome!

Making my first backup as we speak. Thank you! Donation incoming on payday.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Its not the server, its the route.

I use Dev Host from time to time as well (Like AdamOulter) because I push out about a Petabyte per month now and for some reason the host doesnt like that.

I think the majority of people have no issues with Dev-Host.

I personally love the site. They have some awesome features and would highly recommend!

have a 50 Meg connection as well and am currently test downloading at 25 Megabits...

What kinda of download speeds were you seeing?

Adam, will you ever work on unlocking the Radio? I would love to use some diff Radios on this thing but I gets the lock down message. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] enkrypt3d:
~25-30KB/s...... just did a speed test over wifi and its 30Mbps down and 5Mbps up... anyways I got what I needed thanks guys. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
Let me know if there's any issue with the new update. It will be automatically pushed out to your CASUAL when you run it. The new update will put Windows into download mode automatically.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
Its all instantanious. Start casual. Flash, let casual exploit, flash again, wait for it to reboot recovery.

Make sure you're flashing the new files for this exploit and not some that you got somewhere else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
OK. I thought there was something I didn't know about.

Anyway... I will keep this old method available so feel free to link that CASUAL.

I will be trying to push out an updated version without Odin for Win/Linux/Mac soon. It will work like the old one, but it will be tricky for some people to follow the directions of installing Heimdall Drivers on Windows. The Heimdall drivers will install for only one USB port so it will be Odin on all ports except the one used for the exploit. This way Windows users can one-click as well after auto download auto execute, and guided installation of drivers and VisualC runtime.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsvoda:
I am flashing the files from the OP and following the steps. Everything works perfect till the second file.

I start the .jar and press proceed. Flash baseline in odin and it reboots. Press next in casual and flash second file and then gets stuck on NAND write start. I have done this process 12 times now. I have to be doing something wrong.

Re: Jailbreak(bootloader unlock) / Root / TWRP Recovery -- Even after update [26JAN13

Hey Adam thanks for all your hard work. Hell I'm thinking about going back to stock just to try it out. Hmm maybe not I'll wait until I hard brick this one knock on wood.

Quick question is this the new standard for rooting the VZW note 2 meaning I can use this even if I'm not on latest ota? I read the Op but I just want to make sure I understand it correctly stock any stock but must be stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] larry_thagr81:
Assuming you've already turned on USB debugging in developer options under Settings and the latest Java program for windows PC.

1. Open CASUAL and wait until it shows device connected.

2. Select Do it and it will give you a couple of warning prompts, which you must accept before it reboots your phone into downloading mode.

3. Open ODIN and add the baseline file to the bootloader area and select start. Wait for it to show COM #, where # is some assigned number in the ID:COM field. Select start and it will flash the baseline, but wait for it to show a status of RES and then PASS after a minute or so right above the ID:COM title.

4. Shut ODIN down completely after getting the PASS status and allow the phone to reboot and DON'T press continue in CASUAL yet.

Important side note:

The phone will start to reboot and CASUAL will say press continue so that you can flash the baseline, which you just did. So DON'T PRESS CONTINUE YET. Allow the phone to fully boot up and then press continue in CASUAL because CASUAL will then perform the first exploit on the baseline that you just flashed and then CASUAL will put your phone back into downloading mode for the next flashing.

5. Now your phone should be back in downloading mode, open ODIN on the computer.

6. Repeat step 3, but add the backatchaverizon file to the bootloader area and press start when ODIN is communicating via the COM #. This should flash the second file (backatchaverizon) and restart the phone once again.

Another important side note:

7. CASUAL will tell you to press continue, but DON'T PRESS CONTINUE YET because CASUAL can only perform its magic when you are fully booted into the Android operating system.

8. Only then should you press continue so that CASUAL can perform the final exploit on the backatchaverizon file that you should have just flashed with ODIN in downloading mode, which will then automatically reboot your phone into TWRP recovery.

Let me know if this helps.

Re: Jailbreak(bootloader unlock) / Root / TWRP Recovery -- Even after update [26JAN13

I'm not sure if Zadig accepts cmdline, but I know it likes its INI file. I can modify and build a copy that will install a driver based on device name. I'm pretty sure VisualC RT, can be installed via cmdline silently.

Sent from my d2att running JellyBam 5.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
Have you rebooted your computer? Try closing out Odin and reopening it between flashes. Are you using a pit file? if so, it would cause the problems you are having.

Oh man, that would be pretty awesome! I can't support RT just yet... There is no Heimdall binary for that or java. Can you make it install on x32/64 bit versions like that?

But if you can build an INI that would auto-install name "gadget serial" or the following IDs.. 0x04E8 0x6601 0x685D 0x68C3 0x6860 it would be perfect. I was thinking about using an INI that would just "show all devices" and instruct the user. It would reduce further support if we could make it easier than that.

Defer Question

So the other day I updated the phone through Casual. Everything work fine. Last night I got the "Install update" message.

I never installed the OTA update before I ran Adam's Casual.

Am I OK to install the OTA update then run Casual (again)?

Thanks,

CM

Re: Jailbreak(bootloader unlock) / Root / TWRP Recovery -- Even after update [26JAN13

I was abbreviating Runtime, didn't mean to confuse that with Windows RT :o

I'm assuming this is all happening via cmdline from CASUAL?

Can you detect architecture from CASUAL?

Hi,

On MAC this is how i unlocked the phone from stock LL4

#1. Download ROM of choice and copy it to Phone internal or SD-Card

#2. On MAC in VMWARE-FUSION install Ubuntu Linux

#3. Install Oracle Java and Lib32 as mentioned by OP in Post 1

#4. Enable Developer Mode / USB Option Connect Phone. When the Dialog show on MAC Select Always Connect usb to Linux VM

#5. On Linux VM Launch Causal and click Do IT

#6. When Custom Recovery shows up , Wipe and FLASH ROM from Step 1.

Done..

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] larry_thagr81:
Yes you can, but you will have to revert back to a stock ROM with or without root and have the stock recovery before your phone will install the update. I went through the process of installing the update after and I had rooted and unlocked my bootloader but it failed to install. So I had to revert back using the PIT file and updated baseline that Adam provided for those who needed to recover from a soft brick.

It took less than 10 minutes to revert back to stock and update the phone with VZW OTA and then root and unlock my bootloader again.

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

As others have mentioned, you could freeze the SDM 1.0 file/app using Titanium Backup or My Backup Pro to prevent you phone from receiving any future software update notifications. I'm not sure if freezing the SDM 1.0 file/app would work for this update since your phone has already downloaded it.

Agreed, I'm running the JDK version of Java myself and I didn't experience that particular issue either.

I have read this post over and over and feel brave enough to try it :) but i must ask this roots & unlocks the bootloader all in one correct ?

I used odin back in December. Phone says baseband I605vraljb. build JR03C.I605VRALJR.

So, downloaded Casual and hit Do It.

How long does it take? I'ts been 10 minutes and my phone says Downloading...Do not turn off target!!

Casual says:

Downloading Updates

WindowsLinux Galaxy Note 2 Jailbreak.scr...8kb ... Update Sucessful! MD5s verified!

Rebooting into download mode

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scott_65:
Re: Jailbreak(bootloader unlock) / Root / TWRP Recovery -- Even after update [26JAN13

Once it stops at that spot, leave the program open and run Odin. I got confused there too, I thought casual would do everything so I just sat there waiting. Finally figured out, casual puts the phone in download mode so that you can tell odin to do the rest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] larry_thagr81:
Yes it does root and unlock your bootloader. If you prefer root only, you can flash the root66.....file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DeathStolas:
I will give some background for clarification. The machine that I am using is a late 2011 MacBook Pro with 10.8.2, and Parallels

First: I tried LiveCD/USB method (Ubuntu 12.10)(with java and ia32-libs installed). It kept throwing libusb -3 and casual displayed some java errors.

Second: I tried from a Parallels VM install of Ubuntu 12.10 (with java and ia32-libs installed). Same results as the first.

Solution for VM

Start VM

download casual.jar

ensure you have java/openjava and if you are on x64 ubuntu ia32-libs installed

attach device

Give VM control of USB device (parallels asks this not sure if other VM software does or not)

place device in USB Debugging

open a terminal

type sudo java -jar

drag and drop Casual.jar in terminal

push enter

follow onscreen instructions

reboot device after TWRP is displayed on your screen

Enjoy giving Verizon the FU!

Thank you sir!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Peperm1nt:
I know this may sound weird, but I have a White GNote 2 and my internal memory is supposed to be 16GB. I never really noticed before, but does this exploit resize the partitions or something on the internal memory? When I hook up the device to the computer it reads 10.1GB of memory total. I'm wanting to reformat the internal memory to try and get the full 16GB but I wanted to check that nothing bad would/could/should happen if I did so.

Thanks in advanced and thanks all involved in this project!! This alone will make a 2 year wait be fun.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
No. There is no resize. The system uses 4 gigs.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] larry_thagr81:
No, I own the white version as well and it comes with anywhere between 10.1 and 10.4GB available right out of the box. Something that you should understand about memory is that you never get what you pay for. If you own any flash drives and/or know the hard drive size of your pc, then take a look at what's available to you based on what you thought you paid for.

Re: Jailbreak(bootloader unlock) / Root / TWRP Recovery -- Even after update [26JAN13

You must freeze the exploit or casual wont see your device. I remember hearing that way back when I did this

Enter CS for MD5..

Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

Please wait..

BootloaderBaseline2.tar.md5 is valid.

Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

Leave CS..

All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

That right? for step 1, i just noticd it says succeed 0, seems odd...

Edit: I disabled exynos exploit and root, i do have multiwindow apps hack going, as well as the wifi toggle added. It says in the OP about being stock, would that have anyhting to do with it? I have java installed and updated, but it wont see my phone, plus that up above with Odin...

Edit 2: If I reset device, will that bring it back to stock?

Screw it for now I have to take the computer back I only get around a computer once every other week or so. Thanks.

Cannot run Casual

I searched this thread for the same issue I am having, and saw it asked, but not it resolved. I cannot open the Casual. I open it with Java and the cmd box appears for a split second, then disappears. I uninstalled all of my Samsung drivers and kies and reinstalled both to no avail.

Also Samsung Kies will not recognize my Note 2. It says this device is not supported by Kies 2.0. I checked for updates of the Kies version, and uninstalled the Kies software, and reinstalled the latest Kies, and the same error occurs.

Is something wrong with a driver for the phone? That's what it seemed like, but that reinstalling the drivers didn't work.

I also just flashed back to stock using Odin and the stock rom from the sticky on this forum and performed the latest VZW update. Debugging is of course selected, I battery pulled, restarted comp, nothing is working. It's been circa 6 hours on and off, I never had this much trouble, and am getting frustrated :(

I will definitely donate once it works, thanks for your work.

Edit: I don't fully understand what "hopesrequim" meant in the post above, but could that be why Casual is not recognizing the phone considering what I'm running into?

Okay here is a noob question.

I read many other posts from OP and others, i also made a search too.

Couldnt find anything about it

my note2 phone was on stock verizon rom i followed the instruction video everything went just FINE.

I successfully got TWRP (i think thats the way you say it). I never used TWRP before, but it works. I wiped cache to try and it worked.

The problem is, I STIll HAVE THE ANIMATED verizon boot logo thingy.

I do not know how to get rid of it, can somebody please explain it clearly, kind a step by step maybe?

Oh also i got superuser, downloaded lind2sd app, tried to delete some bloatware, it worked.

So what am i missing?
