That is if it's just an exploit issue, can you link to the information as to why do I don't bug you with my curiosity any further if it annoys.

While I don't know the answer to your question, I'm in the same boat of not being able to unlock the bootleader on 4.3+ but from searching around on this forum, there is a company that you can send your phone to & they will unlock & bring you back down to 4.1.2 for 75$. I don't know how they do it, but more than one person has confirmed that it does work. I'm considering this myself. Look up MobileTechVideos if you want to find the thread or look up their website.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I've read about them, I was told by Verizon you can have it done at best buy for free, but knowing what verizon says is usually wrong lol

However if best buy can, then maybe people are being charged 75 dollars for a free service o.O

I think I'll call best buy tomorrow just to verify they do flash your phone and for free... never hurts to ask.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1nv1n:
Cool, can you post back here or shoot me a PM with what they tell you? I'll also try to contact BestBuy. I think they might charge some GeekSquad fee or something like that. In any case, if they can do it, that would be awesome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adobrakic:
Please post your reply from Best Buy here. I want to send my phone in to that company, but paying $75 is kinda ridiculous, since I paid only $125 for the phone itself. If Best Buy has even a lower price, that would be amazing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Sorry I forgot to call them, verizon said it's a free service because it is a samsung device, I'll set a reminder to do it later today when they are open.

THIS: https://code.google.com/p/android-casual/source/detail?r=500

Congratulations! You're CASUAL Commit 500! You win absolutely nothing!!!!!

In all seriousness, CASUAL cannot currently handle spaces in names. I recommend creating a new account on that computer with a single word name... like K or M... Actually, it's bad practice to have two people sharing an account because if one downloads a torrent, the feds will come after both anyway. :)

Just change your username to a single word.. K&M would even work, just no spaces. It will be fixed in the next release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobntaz1996:
I have a question. And it's probably a noob one lol. Now that my phone is bootloader unlocked and rooted with twrp and still on the stock 4.1.2 rom. My phone shouldn't accept any stupid Verizon updates correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
Looks like either driver installation triggered Odin Mode on your device or it wasnt ready... It happens randomly after installing drivers on Windows. Try it again.. Its Windows :)

Holy cow... If anyone else wants to help, it would be appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
You can accept them, but they wont apply. Don't try it. Use a custom ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobntaz1996:
Thanks. Now I just have to decide on what rom I want lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhauler1969:
That makes a lot of sense now that you brought it to light. Same as renaming a nandroid with a space in the name will (used to) cause it to fail.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FAUguy:
It was failing at the boot.img, which is before the sboot.

But I was able to do the alternate restore with the Pit File, and was able to get back to the original JB rom. Then did the OTA to LL4 and MC3, and this time after MC3 installed, it booted just fine (when before it got stuck and boot-looped).

Now have it rooted and unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
Nice... I've never seen an ADB protocol error before. I suppose we need to catch that. I will put something in to CASUAL to attempt a rerun of a command.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] randy6675:
Tread carefully. I have been on this forum almost from the beginning and have not heard of anybody other than mobiletech that does this. I believe it is a physical change not software.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
seems unlikely to me since the bootloader is software/firmware locked, if it wasn't then casual would work on phones that took the ota, I forgot about calling them again, and setting the reminder... definitely do that tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jheide44:
sniper,

id be very suprised if best buy does any "real" jtag services... like invincible said above, this is the only place i ever saw bootloader downgrade.

http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2-bootloader-sboot-downgrade-service

fwiw once my used nexus 6 arrives (and I vet it out a while) i was thinking about putting my unlocked bootloader SCH-i605 on swappa :)

as of earlier this AM there was a used one with bootloader unlocked running CM12.1 on swappa for $110
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Well the doubts can be over, even though I hadn't called early enough to talk to the actual people that do the service.

They are samsung experience techs, they work for Samsung at best buy and the woman I spoke to said they do flash android all the time and it is free as a samsung customer, she didn't know about the bootloader, but any of you can call before 7 pm to any best buy and get the answer.

I'm pretty sure samsung techs can do just about anything to a samsung device easily, think this information warrants a visit tomorrow and possibly a downgrade and hopefully a unlocked bootloader with some custom rom love.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Check previous post, I'm going to have to call again, can't get down there like I planned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Well that was useless, they can only flash what is present on the device, it's against policy to downgrade, just talking to the tech I could tell most xda members would be more qualified for her position...

The give away was 'you can try using kies' and 'factory reset'.

They have the ability, but won't due to some policy which I'm sure is an agreement with verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1nv1n:
That's what I heard from Verizon. It's against policy to downgrade. Anyway, thanks for following through.

ATTN: Adam Outler; How to defeat Note II ND7 fw Verizon bootloader lock? Any leads/hi

ATTN: Adam Outler; How to defeat Note II ND7 fw Verizon bootloader lock? Any leads/hints/resources?

So, I wanna continue your work on unlocking legacy SCH-I605 Note II bootloader unlock.

With that said, I would like to also devise a way to easily and securely unlock/relock the bootloader for practical real-world scenarios (you probably do not wanna walk around with device security stuff disabled and your data on it).

In my case, bootloader signature checking was brought to my attention after some app tried to write TWRP recovery on recovery partition and apparently that made mobile went to the ~"Verizon unapproved" yellow triangle screen instead of normal boot sequence.

(I had it rooted with ghettoroot/towelroot before with success (not so stable as a stock non-rooted device))

While reflashing to stock fixed the thing, re-rooting seem to be impossible hard via ghettoroot;(Update: turning off windows defender helps, also, streamlined version from networkingguy helps, too).

Even when I got root, mobile start to randomly reboot at Verizon Orange boot screen and get stuck there indefinitely and the battery have rapid drain mobile getting hot (battery drain/high current). That does not happen while being untouched stock.

-> I suspect the tamper fuse have been blown.

Now, it works totally normal without root, with stock firmware. So, for now I run rootless.

On Samsung site http://opensource.samsung.com/ we have got the ND7 kernel source ready.

Update 2016-March-01 : rooted via ghettoroot->got root->superSU works-> ticked:

Mount namespace separation

Trust system user

result: works for 5-10 minutes, then reboots to orange verizon boot animated logo which loops indefinitely.

updated to super-su v2.61, updated superSU binary via app

now: playing with options ticking

mount namespace separation

trust system apps

tapjacking protection

allowed/denied apps list

UPDATE 02.March 2016. : it seems it has to do with busybox version here.

I see armv4tl busybox was recommended in README files of ghettoroot

I see SCH-I605 / Galaxy Note II kernel is armv7l version, not armv4tl as stated to download in ghettoroot last testing version( typo?- in busybox latest there is no armv4tl version at all.)

Basically,I was turning on&off various superSU modes plus reboot to have it come to effect, also I somehow managed to update busybox (which was not possible before getting to superuser rights- and superuser was refusing to work properly.

Somewhere along these lines mobile phone stopped getting stuck at the boot screen.

Now, a safe bootloader lock/unlock procedure over computer link is what is interesting here.

Yes it's a VZW kernel, and to the best of my knowledge it does in fact support the exFAT file system so you don't have to re-format to FAT32.

There are several entries in /system/lib regarding exFAT. As far as I know anything built using the Samsung source code will support the exFAT file system because Samsung included it in their source after purchasing the rights to use it from Microsoft.

Could it by my SuperSu App? it's still there even though I went back to stock to take the OTA update, unfortunately, dumb me, I forgot to click Root Keeper first and lost root. ( I really only need/want root for some of my apps).

That's the only Un-Stock app that comes to mind, but it's pretty much useless right now, and I can't uninstall it...
