Error while using Casual R311b

Noob here. Just got my Note II, on VRALL4

I am trying to unlock using the Adam's instructions to the letter (and viewing the instructional video), but I keep getting

ERROR: Protocol initialisation failed!Your device should be rebooting into Android now.

The phone stays in download mode and never reboots back into Android. I've tried different USB ports, installed the drivers from Samsung Kies (I uninstalled the Kies software after getting the drivers). Tried searching through the instructional thread, but couldn't find any concrete answers. Not sure what to try next.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
I haven't followed the new instructions yet, but have you tried manually turning your phone back on to see if it will just pick back up in the process?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] yeyah:
The only way to get my phone to boot back into Android is to disconnect the USB cable, pull the battery, and boot it. After removing the USB cable, Casual still shows "DEVICE CONNECTED".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Thought it might. Did it do Odin for you if not make sure auto reboot is checked before starting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] yeyah:
No, I don't believe this newest Casual uses Odin. It's just a(n almost) one-click solution. No checkboxes (see initial post in this thread for a link to the thread containing the new Casual).

Is there another way to root/unlock VRALL4? I'd be happy to try out more complex methods, as this doesn't seem to be working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
I know where the post is but haven't used it yet. No this is the only way, except maybe an older version of casual. Maybe someone who's used it will be by soon to help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
yea the one click method seems to be having issues for some...maybe adam can put the other method back up until the kinks are worked out. sorry wish i could be of more help.

stuck on yellow triangle stating firmware problems

Hi all..i recently tried to unlock the bootloader however did not know the file i used was not compatible with the latest OTA. When using ODin the phone fails at the sboot.bin...now i can still get into the ODin menu but thats it. Ive been reading several threads and the only solution Ive seen was that the device would get its data wiped. However I have many sentimental things on the device, would there be a way for me to recover all that data. I thought I had backed all files onto my sd card but not all the files got transferred. Any help or tips would be appreciated thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
try using root66 from section 1a of my guide it does not wipe data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RoNStiZz:
Thanks!:good: Will try this method and will post the results....I downloaded the root66 file but ODin is not recognizing the file so I'm not able to load it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RoNStiZz:
Recovery

Alright so I realized i needed to extract the file, I did so followed directions and YES my phone is working again. Now I just need to run a recovery and hopefully everything will go back to how it was before i soft bricked my phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Make sure you unlock first
[HTC One S] llotas:
Hey all! This is my first post here since i got my htc one S 2 days ago. I have read quite a bit on how to install custom roms and everything.

The very first ROM i installed was the venom viperOneS OTA 2.1.0 and it ran well until i noticed that my camera was not working. Not even through other apps that require camera. All it says is that the camera is unavailable and shuts down the apps. I tried dozens of things to fix the camera, but no luck. Then realised that my microphone didn't work and i couldn't call anybody.

I decided to get my phone back to stock, but it seems to be an extremely difficult process. I downloaded loads of RUU files (including the newest RUU Ville U JB 45) and after re-locking the phone, and running the .exe file i always get an error after its trying to change the signatures saying that this is not the right file for my phone. (When i press 'update' in the installed the current version is blank, not sure if this means anything).

Then i tried an older viperOneS OTA and was left with a bootloop.

Could somebody please help me out on how to get my phone to stock version?

And before you ask if i've wiped my phone before any ROM installation - i have multiple times.

Thank you in advance.

I was trying to install The Weather Channel app through the Google Play Store, and while the file downloads, it tries to install and pops up with an error saying "missing shared library." It's happened with other apps, I don't remember which ones, but this is the most recent.

What causes that error to happen and is there any way to fix it?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyac:
Hi,

If the problem concern apps using google maps (I do not know weather channel), It can be you are missing this libraries that you should copy to the system (permissions et framework); restart after copying them:

com.google.android.maps.xml

com.google.android.maps.jar

you can find them in any gapps package (better chose one for your rom/device)
[HTC Sensation] Mr Davo:
Hi Everyone,

I have flashed a number of ROMs over the last 12 months and I have come to believe that my battery display is no longer accurate. Even though the battery bar shows "green" (ok battery level) I believe that there are instances where it should show either "orange" (running low), or "red" (very low). Is there any way that I can reset the battery indicator? Currently I am using the "Sense-O-Maniac" ROM (despite what is in my signature!).

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Davo
[HTC Sensation] Shree.bhagwat:
HI,

Greetings

1. boot into recovery and clear battery stats

2. download battery calibration app from play store and calibrate your battery.

3. charge your phone completely and let is discharge completely(0%BATTERY) do this cycle at least 2-3 times

your battery might do well

[Galaxy Ace II General] killov1982:
:thumbup: Hello friends, comrades, the owners of SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE 2 I8160! Our colleagues from Russia decided to send a petition to Samsung for our apparatus that Samsung would have raised the CPU frequency to 1000 MHz! I ask who cares subscribe need to vote!

Here is the link to the signature - http://www.change.org/ru/петиции/ко...мартфона-samsung-galaxy-ace-2-до-штатных-1ггц
[Galaxy Ace II General] loof13:
Samsung will surely not change the frequency. If they actually do it, then phones like s-advance and beam would not be bought as the ace 2 is much cheaper and offer good specs. As far as I think, the petition is useless.
[Galaxy Ace II General] killov1982:
All the same, we hope people write, sign, and God forbid the planned work!!
[Galaxy Ace II General] forbidden8:
If we dont ask/want, no one will give us just like that... so for me is not pointless.
[Galaxy Ace II General] arroyo:
@ killov1982

If you could write down this petition in English than I am sure that more people would sign it. English is not my mother language, neither Russian, but I know both (a bit). I assume that most of the people clicking on your link would think: "I do not understand a $h1t ... meh". Google Translate is an option, cause it wont allow you to sign petition using some browsers (just like using 4PDA ;) thru Google Translate)

Regarding performance with U8500 at 1 Ghz... my wife have i9070 and I must say that it is not faster device at all. It does not feel more snappy and games are running the same as on Ace2. Of course there is +400 points in Antutu for i9070, but thats all. I9070 drains more battery at normal tasks with its 1GHz. In fact Ace2 and S Advanved are underpowered due low speed EMMC and RAM used and it is a fact. i8190 is much more fluid because it has better RAM/EMMC and I am not talking about size of it.

Instead of asking about raising clock ... we should ask for releasing complete JB sources for Ace 2.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jokerbird:
being the clumsy oaf I am, I trashed my 3113 (galaxy tab 2 7") usb cable, I sat on it while it was charging, and (the 30 pin connector end) literally broke in 1/2, severing the pins. I took a look at the connector in the tablet, and it looks unharmed using a magniyfing glass and a spy light.

I have no idea if the tablet's connector is buggered or not until I receive the new cable and try. Unfortunately I don't know anyone else that has this tab to borrow one. I've left it powered off at 95% remaining battery since last night, and don't plan to turn it on until i figure this out.

Here's my problem

If the new cable doesnt work either, it's safe to assume I buggered the tab as well. Thankfully it's still under warranty. BUT, its been rooted, has CWM on it, and has AOKP ROM, a variety has been loaded as well so the counter needs to be reset. I'm 99.99% sure I have the correct factory rom for it.

If the connector is buggered, and I have no USB access how can I reset this tab back to factory, and reset the counter without having a working USB connection?

Can I reset the counter as it is now using Triangle? Then flash the factory rom using CWM in recovery mode?

How can I tell if my rom can be used with CWM to flash, or if it specifically requires Odin to flash?

My cable should be here in about 1 week, is it possible even though powered off at 95% for one week, the battery could deplete?

I have no idea why they use silly cables like this, micro usb would have been fine, i have a drawer full of them. Hopefully this can be fixed up and someone can point me in the right direction. thank you
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahthedominator:
. I almost guarantee u that the battery life will not deplete all the way. So at least you don't have to worry about that. Also you should be able to flash the stock rom back onto your tablet without a pc or computer. Then from there use triangle away to delete the flash counter. Hope the new cable works!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jokerbird:
Update

Thanks for the info about the battery, that will my ease my mood while I wait for the cable :) however I'm not understanding your answer to my questions;

"Also you should be able to flash the stock rom back onto your tablet without a pc or computer. Then from there use triangle away to delete the flash counter"

Can I flash the factory ROM with CWM as I did with AOKOP? What program if not CWM do I flash it with (using the tablet)?

It is my understanding triangle can only be run as root, it is also my understanding that when a factory rom is flashed back, the device becomes unrooted? Please correct me if my understanding of this is wrong!

so if I follow your instruction, somehow I flash the stock rom back using the tablet only, I assume a reboot will be needed to run triangle, but if the device is now unrooted after factory flash, how will triangle run??

Maybe I'm not understanding correctly? Again any help is much appreciated, thanks for your answers

*UPDTE* the mailman showed up as i was writing this! today by surprise I received a totally different adapter cable (ordered this a month ago totally unrelated), this one allows me to use a normal usb memory stick and memory card on my 3113. It worked with all cards i tried, but now I am 92 % battery., This tells me the connector on the tablet has at least some working pins!!! and is not totally damaged, so I have more hope now. But I still would like to know how to do this without a working usb connection
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahthedominator:
A

First off i dont know why i hate this so much but, dont say thanks click the button. Lol ;)

Anyways if you do flash a stock rom you will loose root access, but rooting from a stock rom is a breeze. Any chance u have a custom recovery already installed? If you do download the stock rom from the internet.

Stock rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2162736

Then flash it to your tablet. If you do not have a custom recovery, then u might be able to use mobile odin. Its an app on the play store. Im not very familiar with that app. One other thing i might think would work is to download an app from the play store called rom manager. Its free. From rom manager i believe u can install clockwork mod recovery. And from clockwork mod recovery then flash a stock rom. (I would recommend this method but if your familiar with mobile odin then use whatever your more comfortable with.

Hope i could help.

To be on the safe side I would root then use OTA Rootkeeper, you may have to wait a while to get root and it will drive you crazy.

Hey guys,

The preordering for sony xperia zl has started on sonystyle.ca, it's locked to rogers. It's priced at 674.99 dollars, and sony includes a free bluetooth headset worth 49.99.

http://goo.gl/SZRhn

so, Let's post here on who's ordering the xperia zl from canada...
[Sony Xperia ZL] DdcCabuslay:
Bell has also just opened preorders on their site.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sirsmokey:
Just got mine in the mail ordered mar 18 delivered today.

Sony Xperia ZL C6502

factory unlocked with bootloader unlock yes.

working on wind mobile canada

this phone is awesome but i couldnt picture myself buying if it was rogers or bell locked. restricts modding.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Mr. Droid:
Where and how much
[Sony Xperia ZL] Gitaroo:
also on wind need to know this too, but might switch to something else, so does C6502 work properly on other network?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Mr. Droid:
I'm torn between this and the HTC one
[Sony Xperia ZL] sirsmokey:
I got it on ebay for 599 the seller is nevr-msrp.

C6502 works properly with wind. But since unlocking the bootloader I have flashed c6503 and found it works better with wind
[Sony Xperia ZL] cheapshot789:
hey so you flashed the whole c6503 with baseband and all, if so you think if you flash c6506 you can get LTE with c6502?
[Sony Xperia ZL] sirsmokey:
Well If your feeling adventurous enough go ahead and flash c6506, it would do me no good as wind does not have lte
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nimche:
The LTE is hardware related and not a software compatibility issue. Otherwise they would have made one phone that works everywhere just by flashing a software version.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Mr. Droid:
Which model works with bells LTE
[Sony Xperia ZL] DdcCabuslay:
C6506
[Sony Xperia ZL] Mr. Droid:
Hopefully it gets released next Tuesday. Will be picking one up
[Sony Xperia ZL] adsam3927:
I don't like the fact that its locked to carriers so bootloader will be same:mad:

At the moment the SIM free version LTE C6506 is delayed til mid April from retailers like shopblt
[Sony Xperia ZL] htc fan89:
yeah that's the reason I didn't preorder my from sony store, instead I got mine from ebay....

edit: Also unbranded "international" version should get updates quicker than carrier branded another benefit
[Sony Xperia ZL] hoangthebn:
hey

:silly::silly::silly:

---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

[Sony Xperia ZL] Mr. Droid:
Will u get lte? U got a link where u bought ?

Price ?
[Sony Xperia ZL] adsam3927:
I think htc fan89 is talking about getting the non LTE C6502 from eBay... I actually cancelled my unlocked ZL order and ordered HTC One from UK releasing this week.:D
[Sony Xperia ZL] Mr. Droid:
The z and zL have the same internals. Are the ROMs compatible?

Any issues getting a locked boot loader and unlocking it?
[Sony Xperia ZL] sirsmokey:
I would also like to know the answer to this question?
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
No there not. Different radios.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Mr. Droid:
So ur saying the c6502 c6503 and c6506 haven't different radios so the ROMs won't work ?

I guess I'm so used to the s3 where the ROMs where interchangeable since radio wasn't being flashed
[Sony Xperia ZL] hyelton:
S3 stock roms radios WERE FLASHED! only devs took out the Radios. When using ODIN to flash on any samsung it installs the Radio. But on the S3 there was 2 types and which were completely different.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Gitaroo:
anyone bought anything from BLT before? The ZL is super cheap there. What is the duty or tax for importing phones to Canada btw?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Mr. Droid:
Would like to know this as well!! Might as well buy instead of renewing
[Sony Xperia ZL] htc fan89:
I bought mine from ebay and it cost me 611 dollars plus 91 dollars for duty tax, I'm from Ottawa. But, someone from Toronto was charged like 25 dollars duty tax. so, yeah...
[Sony Xperia ZL] Gitaroo:
anyone got the C6506 and with wind mobile? It seems like that model support all carriers so in the future when I decide to switch to a different company my phone will work perfectly.
[Sony Xperia ZL] kiru:
Anyone get one from rogers yet? Is the bootloader unlock able?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Mr. Droid:
Picked one up from bell yesterday afternoon I'm thinking of not using it might switch for a HTC one then again the one has its disadvantage
[Sony Xperia ZL] noxlord:
No but today I looked at the ZL from Videotron and I was surprised to see it was a C6506 (like Rogers/Bell) and not a HSPA only C6502. It's cool to know there is only one version on sale in Canada, we got a better chance at using the phone on different networks. (and flipping them on the web ...)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Gitaroo:
C6506 won't work with wind really? I thought the specs listed all the band supported by C6502 plus more and LTE.
[Sony Xperia ZL] noxlord:
Yes it will.
[Sony Xperia ZL] htc fan89:
Wow, Guess wind mobile isn't releasing the xperia zl, Videotron already released it....No news yet about wind
[Sony Xperia ZL] Gitaroo:
they are mostly likely focusing all their efforts with the s4 marketing. So the ZL might appear really late. Hopefully this will make them release.at a much lower price.
[Sony Xperia ZL] leafsacc:
I'm planning on buying this locked to Rogers.

Why would it restrict modding? Wouldn't I just unlock the bootloader (or is that not possible)?

Or are you saying there's not a lot of development on the Rogers version due to LTE?

I'm going with Sony over Samsung because of development. But maybe I assumed wrong?
[Sony Xperia ZL] DdcCabuslay:
Carriers lock the bootloader, and it can't be unlocked via Sony's official method.

Of course you can still do modding without unlocking the bootloader, but not to the degree that you might like.
[Sony Xperia ZL] fahad233:
So I picked up a Bell Locked Xperia ZL without knowing this.

There should still be an unofficial way to unlock the bootloader no?

Or would you recommend I return the phone and get the unlocked C6503/2 version instead?

Anyone have any luck unlocking their Xperia ZL btw? I ordered a code from cellunlocker.net about a week ago but am still awaiting an answer.

I want to use the phone on Wind.
