is your phone rooted?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] last_pawn:
You should be able to enter download mode by holding only the down volume button and power button while the login is off. But you will need the home button to select options in the boot menu after update.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodman01:
If you have root, you could download a nice app: reboot to recovery.

To select options in cwm you also could use the power button. Just press it with a short/normal tick.

I found this link there are a few easy ways to boot in Download mode

same problem :(

Can I ask the steps you took on using the USB JIG (especially on choosing which stock kernel to flash)? I am currently experiencing the same problem and my USB JIG will arrive probably by the end of the week.

CWM is the experimental port from emwno in *THIS* thread.

I need people to test if the insecure boot image flashes and whether the root process works.

Mark.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] mskip:
Flashing custom recovery shouldnt affect the boot process have you tried just holding the power button for about 15 seconds to force a hard reboot?

Are there any lights or anything on the screen?

Mark.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] madsatan:
Sorry that i didnt make myself clear

What i was saying is that i boot into cwm

Cant press any fuctions (cant back up or reboot etc)

I had to use power buttom to restar the tablet
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] mskip:
As stated the cwm port is still experimental but it is being worked on by emwno and im sure he will get there.

Has anyone tried the root procedure yet with the insecure boot image? I really need some feedback here.

Mark.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] ktmman:
Hey mskip,i just downloaded the toolkit and went through the insecure kernel process with no problems,tho i had already rooted using the Framaroot app. I also installed cwm and booted into it,although it's a little buggy it's useable ,just need something to flash in it now :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] mskip:
Glad its all working ok. Did you go through the ALL-IN-ONE process? Just wondering if you had installed busybox as I need someone to make a NAND backup from the backups section. If you can do that and then post a screenshot of the files (filenames and file sizes) then I can update it to a public version :)

Mark.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] ktmman:
ok,i downloaded Busybox from the market,it looks like its going well,here's the data.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] mskip:

Now I just need someone with a full stock firmware flashed that can test the ALL IN ONE process and perform a NAND backup to make sure it works from scratch. Any takers?

How step to install cwm? Im new
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] mskip:
If the stock recovery keeps coming back after flashing a custom recovery then your system has the 2 recovery restore files present.

The 2 files need renaming to stop the stock recovery being flashed on a reboot.

The files are /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh but you need root to modify them so if you go through the root process in the toolkit they will automatically be renamed and the custom recovery will stick.

Hello

Hello to you all and thanks for this great toolkit.

I just got some questions regarding this as I'm new to this Galaxy Note 8.0

-The toolkit works fine but when I do root all in one option it replaces the recovery and boot.img but the root app and busybox is not installed.

I need to flash the zip "SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-RenameRecoveryRestore" to get root and busybox, so no problem but I tought it was done automaticly?

-When I take a beckup I get these file , A and B files , if I restore all goes well but why is the .tar divided in A and B files?

(see screenshot)

-Is there a other way to back up my IMEI/EFS as it is not supported in the toolkit? (sorry but this is the first samsung I got)

Now I made a all in one package that you flash from cwm (I added some stuff)

Init.d support , zipalign at boot if new apps are installed , I/O tweak in init.d(1000points extra in quadrant) and the stuff that was already included, SU , Rename recovery, Busybox (I updated it with 1.21.0) and insecure boot.

credits for the init.d support:Ryuinferno @ XDA

After flashing the zip don't let the recovery "Disable recovery flash" as it is needed for the init.d support, don't worry your custom recovery won't be overwritten.

So the only thing you need to be one is a custom cwm.

EDIT:

New package, I added

Init.

d in the boot.img

so it doesn't use the install_recovery.sh anymore.

This is a much cleaner way to get it.

So this package will do the following:

SuperSu 1.25

BusyBox 1.21.0

Rename recovery on boot installation.sh

Install insecure boot.img with init.d support

Init.d folder (system/etc/init.d) with test file to see if it working (data= Test.log) , zipalign, I/O tweak

Can this work help with dual booting Linux

Hello all thanks for the hard work. Currently I am trying to get the 5110 to dual boot native Linux using the popular method used on the note 10.1 for installing native Kali Linux. I have tried using dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 to place a recovery.img used for booting Linux into the appropriate location. However thus far when I try to boot into recovery (holding power + volume up) I simply get a black screen. I am new to android development but do have a programmer background. I theorize that either the bootloader is still locked on my device which is preventing the modification from working or that the script writes to different ram locations than that of the galaxy note 10.1. I'm wondering if the toolkit can aide in getting this accomplished.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] mskip:
It should have installed the SuperSU app but as busybox is just a set of binarys there is no app for it. Do you remember if you saw any error messages from the Toolkit after it reboots and pushes the root/busybox files?

Thanks for sharing the modified zip file :)

[Auto Updates are only accessible if you have donated to the Toolkit project, received an activation code and unlocked the Professional Version. Auto Updates are a much faster and easier way of pushing small updates that would otherwise not be worth doing. I can push a single textual change or add support for a new build without having to go through the whole process of building a full version and uploading a large file. IF you are not able to or do not want to donate to unlock the Auto Update feature (and other professional features) then all the smaller updates are collated and a full build made when I have time or if there are enough updates to warrant it. This is the easiest way to make sure all the Toolkits are as up to date as possible. IF you have any views about this please pm me about them and do not post in the open thread]

Donation links can be found at http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=703 to update to the Professional version and enable Auto Updates.

I have the professional edition

I backed up my device using the CWM Nandroid backup option. I saved to external SD card and a copy was saved to my PC.

I am trying to restore it using the option to restore CWM Nandroid backup but I am getting an error "cannot stat 'backups\clockworkmod\backup': No such file or directory"

Is it looking for the backup in another location? How can I restore my backup?

EDIT: Booted into recovery on the device and tried the Restore from External SD Card process. It complained of MD5 mismatch. I regenerated the MD5 sums and was then able to restore.

Good afternoon,

Just purchased a Note 8 and looking to root it. Downloaded your tool from the OP and have 2 questions. First, the version appears to be 1.1.0 not the most recent 1.1.5. Also, when I tell it 21 for my version it says it can't find the server and exits. Running Windows 8 x64. Of course I am also online. Any ideas?

I have rooted via framaroot, just need to unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, and load a new rom now :)

Device not found

I have the Pro version. My computer is Windows 7 64 bit. I uninstalled Kies and installed the Samsung drivers and rebooted. Note 8 shows up in Device Manager as Samsung Android device. However, start screen on device indicates "unable to find software on your PC that can recognize your device" and suggests that I install Kies. :confused: Tried both recovery and download mode, no difference. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Device not found (update)

I may just be talking to myself. But after installing Koush's Universal ADB driver and rebooting, I was able to get the Toolkit to see my device, such as read information.

I must definitely be talking to myself. I've made progress, but when I get to rooting, whatever options I choose, I get file not found. I have edited my path variables to point to all tools, recoveries, etc.

Rooted using the tool kit (donation version). The process was smooth. No issues.

Tried flashing CIV's kernal after but it didnt take. not that bothered really as I'm happy with stock at the moment.

Why issues

I hope this isn't a stupid question, but before I attempt to root my Note 8, I am curious as to why there would be some many issues related to this process. Throughout the thread I see numerous issues related to having to hard reset, apps not working etc. Is it simply down to people carrying out the instructions incorrectly or is it a bit of random bad luck. So many issues are making me nervous. Regards,
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Original Android Developm] sisterchick:
I didn't have any issues achieving root...I've used Framaroot with previous firmware, ChainsDD method and this toolkit. BUT with the lack of development and custom ROMS, I found that root wasn't worth it on Note 8 for me personally. I just flashed back to stock. You lose the ability to get OTA updates when rooted. Yes, even with Triangle Away and OTA Rootkeeper. I also had trouble with Kies crashing when trying to do software updates that way. HOWEVER, I did find this toolkit very helpful for other functions besides root, like ADB and ODIN.
