Ok. I unrooted and tried running casual again. Now I'm getting

Uploading PIT

ERROR: Failed to confirm end of PIT file transfer

ERROR: PIT upload failed

Ending session...

ERROR: Failed to send end session packet

Releasing device interface

Then the box comes up that says

"Do not click through this!"

restart your device in download mode, so on and so forth

So I restart in DL mode.....same thing happens....rinse and repeat. I'm not getting an option for pastebin now. Just this same repeating scenario

Any help would be awesome. Especially since I've now lost root and can not get it back

All,

I am looking for some help here. Computer is a macbook pro, and have tried 2 usb ports, 2 different OEM cables so far. I should add that I have tried the Mac OSX terminal commands and they do not help correct the issue.

EDIT 1: http://pastebin.com/vPzVdPjX
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
Use one of the newer ones from http://goo.im/devs/AdamOutler and let me know how that goes. I'm seeing a bunch of errors there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] race2c:
I downloaded R862b, and CASUAL doesn't recognize the device, thus, the ability to click "do it" is not available. This is upon verification that USB debugging is checked.

If worth noting, the device does not have SIM card as I am rooting/romming the device prior to activation upon the network.

EDIT 1: I just tried with SIM card in the device to see if that would recognize the device....No luck. I do have Android File Transfer installed on the computer (MacBook pro) which recognizes the device/SD card.

ive been having an issue getting this to work on my new replacement...i uninstalled everything and started fresh...after having issues with the drivers ive finally got that worked out...now when i click do it it says its going to install a generic driver and then retries about five times before saying it cant continue...id post the log but its always empty...is there anyway to force the driver to install? is the generic driver already part of the package or does it download it on the fly? ive turned off the firewall and any programs that may interfere with the process...ive also tried running the last three versions...im stumped
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] boofa:
I'm having the same issue. Phone is completely stock and never rooted. There is no log on the most recent version of Casual. I was originally trying on a Windows 8.1 Enterprise system and was able to get past the driver but it failed at the same point as another user above reported verifying the PIT file (keeps saying the device is no longer available on the console). I moved to a Windows 7 system and it just won't load the "generic" driver. I tried multiple versions going back to R808b nightly which hangs a loading...please wait. The last Jenkins builds all appear to have broken logging as the log window is always blank. I am going to try on another Windows 8 system tonight, but I'm about to give up :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] boofa:
Ok, Windows 8 system at home still didn't work, so this morning I did some work on my Windows 7 system. I uninstalled/deleted all drivers and software packages and rebooted. I uninstalled my Antivirus instead of just turning it off and rebooted again. I installed the latest USB driver I could find for the phone (v1.5.27.0) and the latest Java (v7.0.450) and rebooted again. I downloaded the R515 script from the first post and it got farther this time, but seems to hang after it loads the CADI driver: http://pastebin.com/burgTpNA

I grabbed the latest stock image (VRAMC3) and associated PIT file then did a factory reset and entered download mode. I used Odin 3.07 to write that image back to the phone (completed successfully w/o error) and went into stock recovery and cleared the cache. I booted the phone clean and re-ran R515 and had the same result as above. I'm going to try again with the latest script later and see if there's any difference.

Decided to give R515 one more try since it had gotten farther than any other attempt. It appears after the driver was loaded, all was well and it flew threw the script and completed successfully. Not sure what is broken in the newest scripts, but if you're having problems making everything work, try the R515 from the original post and see how it goes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dopeskwyd:
Did the same. Newer drivers must've made the difference. Installed new drivers, odin'd stock rom, reran casual. No problems this time!! About damn time.

Thanks bro

Hmm. Maybe something is still wrong. It rebooted into TWRP but i have no su app. Also several root checkers are just hanging. Another root checker says i have root but my backup root app is not requesting root.

Something is amiss

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] djd338:
My experience: I read everything I could on the subject. I also lost count of all my failed attempts over the three days of trying & running Casual. One thing I found is I was having to reload Samsung drivers after a failed attempt because the computer wouldn't recognize the device, so I kept searching for things to turn off or delete which may help. I started rebooting both laptop & phone afterwards the failed attempts. Finally Casual got far enough to inject SuperSU, but didn't unlock. I kept trying & running the program. I also have at least 5 cables I was rotating & the OEM cable seemed the worst. Finally, I read where a couple people recommended using a very short cable. I tried an old, short, fat Motorola cable and BINGO! The program ran straight thru in just a couple minutes. Don't know if it'll help anyone but thought I'd share because I just spent a lot of time trying & didn't give up. I did think at one point Verizon had definitely won, but that only motivated & pissed me off all the more!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
after looking around, this seems to be the only way to unlock the bootloader for got gs2? This seems to have some issues, hopefully I will be lucky enough to not have any and this hack/root works. If not, is it easier to odin the stock root file found in droid style guide, and proceed from there, but that doesn't unlock the bootloader does it? Then flash the new modem via recovery?

Just to update on my status.

I ended up saying screw it, and rooted my device uses a friends windows computer. The computer was windows 8 and used an older version of CasualApp (535ish). The application worked and got everything up and running. Needless to say, now I have to patiently wait my microSD card, screen protectors and case to get here....so I can use this device.

Tried 4 different cables and 2 different computers. ( Win 8 and Win 7) No go. I give up, finally after 2 days. Oh well thanks anyways.

Is there ANY other method? Do we have to use CASUAL? Does anyone have any command line instructions? I don't really like using a GUI to root. "One clicks" never seem to work for everyone. Judging by the recent posts, I'm not alone. Anyway, if anyone knows of any other way I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Where were you running into your problem? Casual failed a few times for me and I had to disconnect, pull battery and start over a few time before it ran through its paces.

It eventually worked.

I got exactly the same snag,.I just want to use Casual again. My i605 was fine, having used Casual nearly a year ago, butl I did an extremely careless thing: I installed the N7100 leaked 4.3 files including N7100 BLs, from SamiMobile.

Now I just want to get home and I hoped Casual would set my BLs right..

That's a bad USB cable or port for sure. We have notes in the code for this.

You installed a third party driver. Its unofficial, and neferious. Remove it immediately. Because this became such a problem we put code in the nightlies to handle this sort of thing.

Use one of the nightlies on http://goo.I'm/devs/AdamOutler

Windows users... Always installing drivers when they see them available from somewhere... You don't need drivers for this device... Not at all. They come from Microsoft. CASUAL installs its own driver and removes it when complete.

Can I [near risklessly] Odin the MC3 from SamiMobile so to then use Casual?

My hope is that this sidestep might do the trick as so far I've had failures with Casual and other root exploits applied directly to its stock firmware.

How to Prevent Heimdall Install Request Loop

If you are on a Mac, make sure you are using the latest nightly and most important, make sure you are running it as Administrator.

[MENTION=3682533]AdamOutler[/MENTION] is it possible to add that to the OP?

As someone else suggested, and I'm not sure this is why it helped, but remove external SD card.

It will fly right past Heimdall installation requests, and run amazingly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:

Problem after running CASUAL.

Used CASUAL a while back.

Phone was rooted and unlocked. All was well.

Running LiquidSmooth 10.2.

Lost root somehow.

Tried CASUAL again.

After running CASUAL, the message said phone was unlocked.

Now, when turning phone on, a message states, unauthorized software on phone, take to Verizon.

Can not get past this.

Can get into download mode by (Volume -, Home, Power)

But, CASUAL can't find phone.

What to do now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
try reodining the stock rom then run Casual again. if you lose root, try flashing the SuperSU zip and use it instead.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dlw1146:
I thought about that earlier, but afraid of loosing the flash to Page Plus.

Will use Odin now anyway.

Thanks for replying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
no problem. yeah, you'll most likely lose the flash to pageplus going that route, but i believe the only way to get rid of that stupid triangle is to Odin

Ok, got Note 2 back.

LiquidSmooth still there as well as Page Plus.
