That's the log that comes up after I unplug after the endless "handshake response" loop. Tried 4 different usb cords, but maybe the problem is that I'm running windows7 in VirtualBox on a mac running 10.6.8 (mac is too old to run Java 7, thus the virtual windows attempt - tried with samsung drivers installed and without). I'll try to find someone with a newer machine to borrow, but if there's something obvious I missed that I can do on mine, I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] newbroot83:
Did you get it to work on windows? Im on vista and cannot get it to work. Heimdall says it failed to open and asks me to close it. Then cadi gives a request that I accept. It opens a script and after it runs (casual says downloading drivers the whole time). It then requests that I restart pc now or later and either way I can go no further....

i keep getting an error before i can even press the "do it" button saying that my device is offline. i tried following the instructions but nothing has worked as of yet, any information on this would be awesome. a simple google search did not result in a fix either.

Edit: I have tried restarting my computer and phone multiple times, and have also tried multiple usb cables

Edit 2: after i get that message, any time i open casual it now says "device connected" regardless of if the phone is hooked to the computer or not.

Edit 3: Used my laptop, instead of my custom computer and all seemed to just work. damnit >.>

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidian1441:
Quick question. Got a Note 2 coming soon, and to eliminate noob errors, if we unlock the bootloader, and then use Odin to flash back to stock, will it relock the bootloader or keep it unlocked?

Thanks.

--Sam
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
Not sure why you would want to flash back to stock after unlocking with CASUAL. You will be stock with root. If Odin back to stock just use the alternate restore without the bootloader. Droidstyle's guide has the stock files. If you have other questions, post there. This thread is for CASUAL discussion.

I'm on windows 8, it seems like the phone gets into download mode and then the error above happens. I know there's a link to "zadig," that's supposed to help windows 8 users, but i'm a noob and not quite sure how to use that. I get an error anytime i try to run it.

Thanks for the help guiys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ramiss:
I really appreciate this work. I'm just a bit frustrated that I can't upload the Bootloader. It just stops at 0% (see my Pastebin from a few days ago).

Also... I'm not sure what to do at this point. I have posted the Pastebin. Should I assume that this info is being used to help develop or should I keep asking for help? I'm fine either way, I'm just not clear on the correct course of action.

Also... none of the new nightlies work for me. The "Do it" button does nothing. Almost like the UI isn't responding to the button push.

Thanks again!

Hi all. I got it to work with a 2nd (Sprint) Stock USB cable. It is so odd that so many seemingly good USB cables don't work with this process. My advice to everyone is to try as many stock cables as you can and don't even bother with an aftermarket cable.

Thanks to CASUAL!!!!!!

Your previous post mentioned you are using vista. Since vista is based off win xp, I would suggest using a different pc with win 7. I could possibly be wrong and it might work with Vista, but it's a dead OS.

Ok. I did the Casual Root and got root. The problem I am having is that there was an error toward the end of the process and there is no custom recovery. Is there a way to manually do the cusom recovery????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhauler1969:
You'll have to find a .tar copy of TWRP and flash with Odin, but I suspect that you are rooted without being unlocked. Hard to say without a log file though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] oneders65:
You are right. I flashed twrp with goomanager.apk. Guess I a was not unlocked. Now I have the unauthozied software message on my phone. Now I am trying to flash a pit and tar file to go back to usable factory.

Just got a brand new VZW Note 2 (I605, 4.1.2, VRAMC3), and I'm trying to root it.

This seems to be the most up-to-date method, but CASUAL doesn't even see that the phone is connected.

Yes, USB Debugging is enabled.

I've tried this with two different USB cables in 3 different USB ports on 2 separate computers, with and without having drivers pre-installed. Running adb devices from a command line shows the phone is connected, but CASUAL doesn't see it and just shows "disconnected".

Halp, please!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rudeguy:
OK guys I need a little help.

I bought a spanking new Gnote 2 yesterday. Came home and tried to root it following this guide. Well..maybe not EXACTLY following this guide.

I already had the Samsung USB driver package installed from my Gnex. So it recognized my phone as an ADB device and as MTP. Life was good. Then I ran the casual linked to in the first post and I got a Heimdall error when I tried to run it. I read the help post and saw that drivers can be an issue and not to install them. OK. So I uninstalled every Samsung driver using the GNRT.

Now Casual doesn't see my phone at all and neither does my computer. I uninstalled and reinstalled everything with no success. I tried to manually update the drivers and that didn't work either.

How do I fix my driver issue?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hindle1225:
I won't receive my GN2 until tomorrow but I have read through the whole thread. You say you used casual linked from opening page.. Did you try the newest nightly? Seems to be a common problem. http://goo.im/devs/AdamOutler/

My problem is all my PC are windows XP, I think I'm screwed being able to root :(

*pull your pants up and throw away your fake chain*
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rudeguy:
yep...tried the two latest nightlies

I got the drivers installed and my phone is recognized now. Problem is that just like the user before me, Casual just sits. It doesn't see my device even though everything else does. Yes my factory data cable is plugged into the back of my computer and debugging is enabled...just to eliminate the simple stuff.

I'm wondering if maybe the recent nightlies had a hiccup in detection since I haven't seen anyone post they successfully installed this in a bit.

Also, it appears XP is supported in the newer versions.

keep getting this message.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhauler1969:
You're getting libusb error 12, so it's a driver issue. CADI or Casual Automated Driver Installer keeps looping, and fails to install the required driver. The last error says it's failing to see a compatible "download mode device" so definitely a driver issue.

I suspect that you may already have drivers installed, possibly from a previous device. If that is the case please uninstall and delete any drivers &/or driver software and try again.

Also make sure your anti-virus is disabled as well as MS Security Essentials as both of these will interfere with Casual. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chuck24:
Will check that out. I have been messing around with my friends i717 note this weekend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rudeguy:
any idea about the disconnected error?

I have every piece of MSE disabled, antivirus killed and have tried every USB port except for the one on my neighbor's computer. Windows sees my phone, the Galaxy Note Toolkit sees my phone, Casual is the only thing giving it the cold shoulder.

I'm 100% sure its something silly that I"m missing but I've been working on it for a whole day and can't make any progress.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
If you have USB debugging enabled and CASUAL isn't seeing your phone, it's a driver, usb cord/port issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rudeguy:
I know that you are right...I just can't figure out the issue. Could it possible be the USB cable (even though its the stock Samsung one) and yet have Windows be able to see my phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
It is possible, but normally the cord that comes with the phone works. You need to delete all drivers. I remember reading that if have the device manager Window open when you connect your phone you will see more drivers that are associated with it. Remove those that show up, plus anything else that is related to Samsung. If that still doesn't work, you can try to use Kies connection troubleshooting. That's what I ended up doing when I first unlocked my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rhainor:
As I said in my posts about this issue, I have tried 4 different USB cables, half a dozen USB ports, two computers and even two different operating systems, and nothing has worked. I very much doubt it's just a cord, port, or driver problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Droidberg:
Thanks for your continued hard work, Adam & everyone else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
You would be surprised how finicky casual is with drivers and cables. You can doubt it, but I'm almost positive that is your issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rhainor:
So, let's review.

Several different cables.

Several different ports.

Two different computers.

Two different operating systems.

Without drivers.

With drivers.

All not working.

If it's really that finicky, then either the program could use some serious debugging to figure out why it's so finicky, or something else is wrong.

I have tried everything I can think to try short of reinstalling Windows, and if that's what it takes, it's not worth the trouble.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhauler1969:
Considering it has worked, and continues to work for not only me, but hundreds of other users since I've been following this thread it's something you're overlooking. Probably something simple.

Most likely when it "hung" was during the driver install. It can take up to 5 minutes (depending on your system).
