[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] USHwy129:
Yes, I am a noob, at this forum at least. Yes I watched the noob video, no I did not call my mother. I have however made several searches for this problem and all return "sorry no matches" so apologies ahead of time if it does exist somewhere, but I do appreciate everyone's time.

I have rooted several Droid X's, so I am not completely illiterate. Couple weeks ago I got a Verizon Galaxy Note 2 and am attempting to root it using CASUAL. Phone is running VRALL4 current OTA, and bone stock. Using USB cable that came with phone (phone was brand new in sealed box).

Problem:

CASUAL connects to phone and hangs at "Protocol initilisation failed" and "Phone should be rebooting into Android now"

Phone does not reboot into Android, just sat on green Android "download mode do not turn off target screen". I let it sit for quite some time, nothing more from phone or CASUAL, so I bravely unplugged cable, pulled battery, and phone rebooted normally into Android, working flawlessly. Thoughts? Log is below
