Maybe there is something in the air because you and I are having the same problems.

I've tried on 3 different windows computers, all 7, 32 and 64 bit. With and without installing samsung drivers, no drivers, letting CASUAL pull them...something seems buggered.

--------------------------------------------------------------

So, I did look here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37196070&postcount=3

I've used two different USB cables - the first is the stock that came with the note 2 (which is literally two days old); I also tried a motorola cable. I suppose I can try another. Any others I have are generic.

I also used USBDreview from Wugfresh's nexus 7 toolkit to be sure ALL drivers were removed and uninstalled. I suppose I can keep trying since it would seem from the FAQ that it is most like a USB or driver issue.

Here showing I have no samsung drivers installed. I'm going to try again with different cable and different USB

OK, no go. All drivers installed OK, same error

http://pastebin.com/RA5XCShL

Used yet a 3rd USB cable and different port.

Initially plugged in - phone in install mode - loaded 8 drivers I think (I have a screenshot) - all successful

Then went into download mode - lib error (-12 I think) - installed two more drivers successfully (also have a screenshot)

Then handshake error

Then hangs at initialising

So, I give up - for now, meaning for the next 15 minutes.

Hi! Was this question for me? If it was yes I did flash the updated radio. I have seen an improvement in battery life but I also use greenify and juice defender together.

If the question wasnt for me just ignore me lol

The problem, I think, is that Windows takes a very long time to finish syncing to my phone but your script doesn't wait long enough. And there's no way to disable the USB storage driver as far as I can tell since Windows keeps reinstalling it. I noticed that after the Bootloader part of the script and the phone reboots, the script kicks off a bunch of stuff despite not seeing the device multiple times. Perhaps if the script waited 5 seconds to ensure that the device is definitely connected? It flickers between connected and disconnected while Windows detects the phone on reboot.

I uninstalled the generic ADB drivers I had tried, and it seems USB debugging ONLY works in PTP mode, not MTP mode. But there's NO way to default the phone to PTP mode which I think is screwing up the process, since after reboot you have to reselect. The adb server keeps halting on me in PTP mode, however, which is a mess. Why aren't the ADB drivers installing properly on automatic from MTP mode? Why are they even *different* in that mode?

Screw it, I'm going to try Dad's Mac.

Edit: Well, it got *farther*...

Not sure why it skipped ahead to the next step so quickly before the phone could resync with the computer.

Re-edit: Is it possible the SD Card was slowing things down too much? I took it out to see if that helps. I haven't otherwise changed anything on my phone since I bought it today, didn't set up my accounts or anything. I'll also try plugging straight into the back of the Mac mini instead of the USB hub, just waiting for Dad to be done with the computer.

Final edit: I DID IT! These three things helped on a Mac:

1. Make sure SD Card is removed from phone

2. Use a direct USB port, not a hub

3. Make sure VMWare Fusion is turned off

Your USB cable came loose several times.

Your Anti-Virus is eating CASUAL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
As the popup is telling you. Your virus scanner trashed the CASUAL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
USB hub did it. It does it every time. Odin Mode has no error correction and a non-factory cable will kill the data.

Because of this now my phone is stuck in a bootloop at the samsung screen and i have no idea of how to fix it. Could you guys please help me im completely:crying: new to this and very afraid. Thank You

At the time I had disabled Microsoft Security essentials. And, that's all I use. But I reverted my bootloader back to stock 4.1.1 then unlocked and rooted. Flashed new baseband "Radio". So I think im good now. :) im downloading 4.1.2 so if I want it I can install that too.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MrRedPants:
SOLVED! I uninstalled MSE, downloaded a fresh copy of CASUAL and no problems at all.

Adam - unless I'm a blind man - which is entirely possible - I didn't see any warnings in your OP or FAQ about AV software - YES, it should be intuitive but sometimes can't see forest through the trees.

I got AV popup (both with MSE and sophos on different computer), but, didn't make connection to d/l fresh copy. I know I know.

So, perhaps a mention in the OP about it - not only disabling but if you see a popup, the program needs to be REdownloaded after disabling.

Thanks for ALL your hard work - I am rooted and unlocked and can now have fun flashing roms!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
CASUAL will give virus scanner warnings in newer versions like the nightly builds.

OK, disabled the anti-virus and re-ran but got stuck somewhere after running the exploit.

Then was told to

Here is the pastebin http://pastebin.com/kf3E7BgP.

So is the device rooted but not unlocked? SuperSu is installed but how can I test if the phone is rooted or not?

Thanks!

Not Really Sure How To Use The Zadiag . I Know How To Put My Phone in Download Mode . But Do I Have To Do It While Casual is Running Or Before Using it Or What? and What Should All Of The Other Info In The Zadiag Box State ?

Sorry. I Just Need More Detail
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
No you don't do it while running CASUAL. You perform the specified tasks in the instructions, THEN run CASUAL.

The other information isn't important (assuming you only have ONE Samsung phone in download mode plugged into the computer).

Still having problems. Fresh windows 8 install, running as admin with Java.

I tried to restore the phone via Odin to retry this but Odin fails on sboot.bin.

Any ideas?

I also tried your old method here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2043636 which originally worked just fine and I even did it on Windows XP but it now gets stuck on sboot.bin as well.

I feel like this phone is toast.

Flawless Execution! Using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 PC. Thanks Again Everyone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] emtee_skull:
Many thanks to Ralekdev, AdamOutler, and jrloper. Your hard work is appreciated. You don't have to do this kind of stuff but you do and it is pure awesomesauce.

So It work like a charm for me. You most likely will not have the same set up but this is what I did.

I prepared. This stuff may not have helped out at all. I just want to reduce as many variables before I tried it to lower the risk of failure.

Running Win 7 pro 64.

Phone is bone stock with VRAMC3, have never rooted or unlocked it. (Actually just became a proud owner of the Note 2 on May 3nd. Ugg it snuck the update in on me.)

_____________________

I made sure Java was fully updated, both 32 and 64 bit.

Installed Kies.

Connected

(I used the usb cable that came with the note 2)

Note 2 to computer(motherboard/back-- USB port)let if find all the drivers. It found 6 different things to install drivers.

Used cmd prompt and used the command "adb reboot download".

Let windows find drivers. Reboot phone.

I ran msconfig and shut everything off -Services Tab (select

hide Microsoft services

) then disable all/ Startup Tab disable all and I left kies selected(I don't know why I left it running but just in case)

Rebooted Computer.

Disconnected phone.

Once computer was back up verified nothing but windows was running. Avast was still running. So I disabled shields for an hour and select silent/gaming mode.

Downloaded and checked md5 hash of Casual, passed.

Ran Casual

Connected phone.

Phone detected.

Clicked do it.

About 4 minutes later I was rooted and unlocked.

Thanks very much for this. It is very nice that I can make my phone exactly how I want it.

We just released CASUAL R492. This fixes the problems which Windows users were having with drivers. http://d-h.st/thB

New instructions... Just plug it in and go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ShotgunSam:
I think my problem was Windows 8 not playing nice with my USB ports and the drivers.

I used my Wife's Vista laptop and it worked on the 2nd try. Thanks for the tool, and the quick responses for help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
Yeah... some USB ports are just made funky. Most USB devices have error correction built in. Download Mode does not. It really tells you the condiition of your cables and ports on your computer. 99% of people would never know if they had bad USB voltages or what not until they use Odn or Heimdall with a Galaxy device.

I'm glad to hear it worked. Did Windows 8 pop up a big red bar for you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ShotgunSam:
I'll try to describe it as best possible. I had the GN before this and never had a problem with Odin on my computer, but then again, I was on Windows 7 when I first rooted it, so I think W8 may be the problem.

I have 4 USB ports on my laptop, 1 is made differently. That one would work, but when it got in D/L mode all these errors would hit., that is the one that I pastebined, also, Windows would detect the device twice, once as an "Installer" then again as SCH-I605. Not just the first time I plugged it in, but every time it was plugged in, not something I'd seen it do before. The other 3 originally would detect it until it got D/L mode then it would just CADI loop and say no target device found.

After trying to reinstall the Samsung Driver, the 1 USB port would do the same things, but Casual wouldn't detect it on the other 3.

The lesson learned is probably don't upgrade to W8 unless you're a masochist.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
I'm getting that tattooed, lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ForeverSupra:
Still the same problem... Like I mentioned above I cant flash a stock odin image without it failing of sboot.bin. Could this be a huge problem as to why Casual wont work?

Jrloper thanks for the help man but that still didnt work. After Casual reboots into download mode it gets stuck on installing drivers. So I open up that program you posted above, it says success but Casual keeps looping back to installing driver.

Use Zadig I guess then with your phone in download mode.

Select "Gadget Serial" from the dropdown

Click Replace driver

It said it did! This is what I do exactly

Open Za dig

Put my phone in download mode and my phone asks me to press up warning me that a custom os is dangerous.

I press up

On Zadig I press list all devices.

Choose Gadget Serial.

(In another drop down it say WinUsb (v6.1.7600.16385) by default)

I press Replace Driver

Then it says Driver Installed

(In The Drop Down Box With WinUsb as Default theres these other options: libusb-win32 (v1.2.6.0), libusbK (v3.0.5.16))

Hi Everyone

I picked up my VZ Note II yesterday (6/12) afternoon. While they were setting it up, I noticed the VZ rep hit ok on an OTA update. Not knowing that this may matter at all I didn't say anything. I hopped on XDA last night and found this thread. While at my office this morning I went through this thread and followed the directions for the CASUAL process. I'm glad to say that everything went perfect and a big thanks to Adam for all of his hard work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shongboy:
Thanks! This worked for me as well. Had an issue at first as I did it with windows 8. Did the replace drivers in download mode and had turn off windows defender and it worked with no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sgtguthrie:
Did it hang near the beginning for you at "initialising protocol"? I just unplugged after about 10 minutes sitting there. My Antivirus was disabled in Windows 8 and I'm assuming that I need to install the correct drivers. Is that correct? Thanks in advance...

Edit: http://pastebin.com/WdHARHWG
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shongboy:
No for me when my phone would connect to CASUAL a windows defender window would pop up and then when I would try to run the process I would get a CADI installer popup that would just keep looping. I would have to unplug and pull the battery and reboot the phone. I then followed the intructions to do the replace drivers with zadig. Does the CASUAL program put your phone in to download mode and then hang?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sgtguthrie:
It went into download mode, asked a couple questions, then hung. I had to do a battery pull to reboot it.
