looks like things went thru now. i see su on the device and binaries updated. i havn't unplugged. casual said it was booting into and insecure recovery and asked me to flash the no you verizon bootloader which when link is copied comes up as OfficeSuite Pro 7 (PDF & HD) v7.3.1.apk? lol. then a whoile bunch of stuff went by and casual now says

Initialising connection...

Detecting device...

Claiming interface...

i dopnt see any errors but it didnt go into recovery or download mode again.

it's now past the claiming device

here's the pastebin.

what should i do next? just unplug and reboot?

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 PM ----------

Still plugged in but used root checker to verify root. Root passed. Guess i'm not sure if the bootloader and custom recovery was installed. the bar in casual did not go all the way over to the right.

Note II will not stay root.

Used VZW-Gnote2-CASUAL-NoYouVerizon-CASUAL-R532b.jar to root my Verizon Galaxy Note II.

The problem is, it may be rooted or it may not be.

Sometimes System Tuner Pro works as root. maybe not.

Sometimes Root Explored works as root, maybe not.

Sometimes Superuser shows apps running as root, maybe not.

Teamwin recovery seems ok.

ROM is LiquidSmooth 2.10.

Any ideas on what's going on?

Kingo doesn't unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery. Apparently that's needed to flash ROMs on this device and only CASUAL does that for you. Right?

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Casual goes into a loop after installing superuser and before flashing cwm recovery, it seems to be rooted but still has factory bootloader
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] djd338:
I can only speak of my experience, but that is the way it went for me. My ordeal lasted several days of trying. It would fail & I kept looking for things to turn off, uninstall, etc on my computer. Finally it ran thru installing SuperSU, then failed as yours did. I kept running it after rebooting laptop between fails, changing USB ports, etc. I finally started swapping between 6 or 7 different USB cords I have, finally the program just ripped right thru, in seconds it seemed, with success. After I got root, the only thing left for me to try was the cable thing. Don't know what really caused the final success, but it was when I tried my shortest, fattest cable (which was an old Motorola). Don't give up!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zxicemanxz:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krowley3:
Make sure you guys are turning off your antivirus protection before downloading casual. I had similar issues at the exploit because Microsoft security exchange was automatically removing the exploit because of a false positive. Delete casual, disable active protection on your antivirus, download casual again, run casual, profit. If that works, make sure you restart your antivirus.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eraursls1984:
If I used kingo to gain root access to get me by until I can get this to work will I have to ODIN back to stock before I try casual again? I spent about 6 hours trying to get casual to work before I tried kingo (worked the first time) and every thing was fine until cadi forced me to install drivers. Once cadi installed drivers half the time it asked me to restart my pc, but every time it broke the Samsung drivers that were working. I then uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled the correct Samsung drivers for my pc, casual, and adb to recognize my device. Is there a way to around the faulty cadi drivers?

BTW, I used casual earlier this year with no problems on the same pc, which hasn't been used since (I only use the pc to exploit my phone)

I just used casual on the note 2. Installed usb device drivers off samsung website, then plugged in phone and let it finish.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] extirpate:
It's not an app download that is on the phone. Download the kingo software to your computer. Turn on USB debugging and plug the phone in. Kingo works on the note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] p1gnone:
"Matter of fact" is of little intellectual satisfaction. your reply does get at the fact, but not at the 'why' or why it should concern or worry me. It's not a simple question of fact.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rokkywoof:
Understood. However, on the kingoapp devices page, only the N7100 version of the Note 2 is shown, not the Verizon I605 (the model this topic thread is supposed to be about), and I would think that is because of its "special" characteristic of a locked bootloader. That. along with the fact that their home page links for "Bootloader Unlock" only include HTC and Sony, not Verizon/Samsung, makes me doubt that the Kingo Android root tool is applicable to the I605.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] p1gnone:
worked fine today on "my" i605 [VRAMC3], will try later on another i605 [VRUEMJ9]...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ufkal:
And you can boot into a recovery? Install roms and alk that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rokkywoof:
That would be cool! Guess they are only listing what they have tested, and that is not necessarily a complete list? Was that the root exe file? If so, which versions of Windows does that work with? I will have to see if I can get Windoze running again on one of several recently reconfigured PC's - not my first priority normally (vs Linux) - so need to know which version to focus on. That, or see if CASUAL will be feasible (if I keep this phone..).

TIA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
I will have to confirm this with [MENTION=2918486]Ralekdev[/MENTION], but we do break the chain of trust and change the keys at the highest level. It may affect use of Wallet, but this device was never certified to work with Wallet. I don't think any Verizon device is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
it was reported that the last version worked with all known firmwares. If that is true, and I'm not going to test it, this will work with all known firmwares.

Theoretically it should work with everything, but I've just not tested yet.

Question

Do I need Odin, and a stock ROM in order to use casual? Where might I find the ROM needed, and I also am completely stock, and have received the most recent OTA update.

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
You only need Java7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
do this:

sudo rm `which heimdall`

then rerun CASUAL. I think the problem is that you have an old version of Heimdall on your system. The --repartition command is expecting a parameter and its trying to use --BOOTLOADER :). heimdall is still in an RC version and I think you're running RC1.

Great Job! / Question

Adam,

I want to say, you and the other developers have done an outstanding job! It worked great. The question I have is, the area I am currently in, I would have a 4G signal, but since rooting/unlocking, I only have a 3G. Would this be due to the rooting/unlocking; and if so, do you know what I need to do, to resolve this?

Thank you.

Adam,

As you were, it is 4G again!

Last night I used ODIN 3.07 to flash back to the original JB stock ROM, then did the OTAs to MC3, rooted it and unlocked it just fine.

Even though the Wallet doesn't work, today I tried to get one of the MultiWindow mods to work, and it boot-looped the phone.

So I went back to ODIN to see if I could flash it back to stock JB again, and now ODIN doesn't even see the phone connected?

Is the because ODIN doesn't work with MC3, or because I rooted/unlocked it?

What can I do at this point to get it back to the original ROM?

EDIT:

Nevermind, I looked in Device Manager and to roll-back the driver that was installed during Adam's root, back to the Samsung driver, now ODIN sees it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhauler1969:
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Casual caused this problem with Wallet. It's a known fact that Verizon blocks it on their network on all NFC capable devices. I got it to work once while on 4.1.1, since updating to a 4.1.2 ROM it fails every time no matter what hack, or combination of hacks I try. I've had to completely wipe & reflash my phone twice today due to screwing around with the build.prop so much it would no longer boot :mad::banghead::mad::banghead:

It just pisses me off that they block truly useful apps for no apparent effing reason.

2nd quick story. phone was working great on clean rom. i tried flashing to a 4.3 rom and things started breaking. wiped over and over tried flashing back and all the same things kept crashing at before. so i tried flashing back to stock using a how too. well it flashed stock and guess locked it using odin. but still has the same errors and same walpaper comes up. so i'm guessing it has never fully wipped out whatever i did trying to go to 4.3.

now running this to try and get root back so i can do something. and it errors out saying critical errors and to copy and paste a log
