[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] oneders65:
Hey when I got mine to finally root it failed on unlocking the bootloader. I flashed custom recovery and that locked up my device with the error message of return the phone to Verizon. I had to flash a pit file and a tar file to get it back to factory. When I was back to factory and without signing google and doing a full restore of my device I ran Casual with all my antivirus software off and it ran without any error messages.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AldenIsRad:
Ok, I tried Casual just now, and I get a weird error when I am almost done with the root. Here is the paste bin code. Appreciate it if someone can help!

http://pastebin.com/Tr4ZC2Yu
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
looks like it failed to get root. try closing it and reopening it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AldenIsRad:
It failed again. I believe at the same exact part. Here is another pastebin link.

What about this:

When I connect my phone to the PC, it initially shows up as an installer. I then have to go in to change it to a MTP device.

Could that be causing this somehow?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hindle1225:
Casual would not detect my phone. I tried everything. What finally solved it was not using the nightly and using the stable casual file listed in op.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rudeguy:
Hmmm

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

it detected my phone using the first version but I got a Heimdall error and then nothing.

....and success!

I ran the first version as was suggested. When I got the Heimdall error, I quickly closed the window before Windows could "find a solution".

Casual ran flawlessly and now I am unlocked.

Rock on guys. You are all awesome

I felt relieved when it worked for me also

Still no Casual Love

Updated Post:

I have continued to look and try for success but to no avail. I have also tried the last several nightly builds but Casual does not recognize my device so I went back to the original which recognize and runs but stops each time after the Hiemdall install. I am not sure of the next step unless someone can read the Log and give me a direction.

Any help!!!

I finally got it to work. Thanks to all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
In the SVN right now we are focusing on the CASPAC and the CASCADE. these are two things which will make things easier to maintain. Please bare with us on the connection issues. I've not run a CASUAL in a few weeks. Once we've completed the changeover to the CASPAC, I can begin working on integrating it into CASUAL and work out the bugs in there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rudeguy:
Thanks for all the work. Please forgive those who get frustrated with the process. I've hacked enough phones to know that patience is the key. Newer users have yet to learn that lesson.

Thanks again for the hard work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AldenIsRad:
Ok, I'm going to try this again. I'm fully stock, no custom statuses our anything, no root, now I am just fully stock on VRAMC3 Build 4.1.2. Im going tor try this again and see if this works.

Im just glad that Casual is completely safe to use even if you get errors. Ok. I will update tomorrow.

I just want to thank you Adam Outler for all your work you have done for our beloved Note II's, your previous work, and your upcoming projects. Thank you for making this available to us.

I will make another post on here tomorrow to see if it will work. If it does, take this information into consideration being fully stock on VRAMC3

ok, closed down CASUAL and started it back up and it seems to be working now....up to the point of "initialising protocol"....at which point it is just sitting and is not doing anything...

this is probably common knowledge, but thought i'd throw it out there just in case. for folks using windows 7/64 AND are running Microsoft Security Essentials (or anything similar) you will probably have to disable "real time protection" for Casual to properly do its thing. i was having issues until i disabled the real time protection, after disabling Casual worked perfectly. many thanks to adam outler for this simple and easy to use rooting/unlocking method. amazing work! :good:

Did u install Samsung driver? USB debugging on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevinsneel:
Yup, driver installed, USB debugging on. It gets to the point that the Note says it is downloading, but then stalls. I have to take the battery out to get it back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
1) why did you #1 paste your whole log here? Only paste the link to your paste bin.

2) why did you #2 quote the whole log?

3) make sure all anti virus/security software is disabled including Microsoft Security essentials/windows defender.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Texas_T-Bolt:
Correct me if im wrong but did u just extract the dowload file and open from there like normal? And u didnt move any file to C: Drive right? did you try rebooting your computer? Did you try different usb port?

Yes, disabling the anti-virus/firewall did the trick. Thanks! -- Kevin

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
The nightlies have been down for a few days. I just built a new version this morning. http://goo.im/devs/AdamOutler/VZWGalaxyNote2

We've converted over to the CASPAC system, added a ton of testing throughout the entire system, added encryption, but the biggest thing you should notice, is an extremely massive speed-up in this version. Casual now launches its GUI first, scans itself and builds a database called a "Caspac". does the "CASUAL" sound, deploys ADB, It updates the GUI, instantiates a device connection, and waits for your commands... it does most of this all at the same time. The new CASUAL runs 5 separate threads during startup and the only real delay is waiting for ADB to start, but that is handled on its own thread now as well. It's pretty much.... fast.

Give the newest version a try on the goo.im site. It does not have update, killswitch, or other failsafe options, but those are comming soon.

Same thing happened to me. I tried to flash a recovery through Rom Manager and now I'm soft bricked (telling me to take it to a Verizon store).

Issue Once Heimdall starts!

Ok first off tried several cables, comuputers , and os's (linux mint 15 and windows 7).

This is where is hangs in windows 7.

It recognizes the phone and reboots to download mode. once in download mode I beleive the device isnt seen. Odin 3.07 has no issue seeing it . Ok it tries to install CADI drivers but errors out repeatedly that its not supported.

Ok if i manually install the CADI driver , windows usually will come up and say this is not a signed driver and will ask if you would like to continue, not this time. It installs the driver but shows a error that its not signed and heimdall still cant see the phone in download mode.

At a loss here.

Below is my pastebin log:

http://pastebin.com/ycMCW9j3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
My apologies first off, my last commit of the driver pack was signed improperly. I just realized this late last night. I've been busy making repairs to my house and have been frequently absent from the forums and SVN lately.

I'm looking into how this happened, and have already built and in the process of testing a new pack.

I'll have a new package committed tonight prior to the nightly build.

Normally I would commit and instabuild immediately, but I'm held up at work for at least the next few hours.

Please be patient.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] icem237:
No problem. I figured it might be something like that. I tried r767b and same results.

One other thing i tried was to use KOUSH's universal drivers and it will get to this point:

I had used that one just now, and it says "loading...please wait" in the top title box.... and there is no actual "file" chosen in that drop down menu either. It recognizes my phone though, I have the option to "Do it!" but I click it, and nothing happens....

What is happening here? All security software is off.

I too am having this issue.

Tried Win 8 64bit and Win 7 32bit
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] halffrozen:
I guess I will just be rooted for now... with no unlocked bootloader...

I have literally tried every single was to unlock and nothing has happened thus far. Keep getting stuck at the damn usb driver loop.

ALSO:

Is there no way for TWRP* to flash itself inside of the phone? Through GooManager? Since I am already rooted?... Last time I thought I "flashed" TWRP I had soft bricked it.. lol

EDIT: Just tried to flash TWRP again from GooManager... told me to take it to Verizon... again. haha anyways.. fixed it already.

You're going to need to manually uninstall the drivers for your device it appears. Reinstall both adb and download mode. But let windows do it.
