[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eratrion:
Tried running the version of casual in the first post on Windows 7 and Linux and no matter what I try, it always hangs at "You should be booting into Android now. Waiting for ADB connection. Once Linux/Windows detects device we will take over. Don't touch anything." my device reboots into Android, but after that I wait 15-20 minutes on each system and see no response from casual. I've even tried doing a battery pull with the cord still connected and restarted the phone. I've also made sure AV was off and that I didn't have mse. Any suggestions on how I can get this working?

Here's the log:

Edit: I was using Causal 545 when I get theses issues, then after trying Causal R465, I was unlocked in less than 2min.

Thanks dev

For any others who get this error:

"

Try Causal R465, it does work for me

Casual R515b?

Is Casual R515b still the best version to use? I see that the nightlies are up to R807b. I used 492b a while ago on my first Note 2, but just received a "new" replacement from Verizon and would like to know if I shoud use R515b or the latest nightly.

Thanks all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] psyjohn:
Just want to say thank you. Worked flawlessly to root/unlock my Note II, after I removed my case. I have a Siedio Active case on the phone and I think maybe it kept the usb connection from being "perfect." Thought maybe someone else might benefit from my experience on that.

Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] toyosup88:
I'm having the same problem too. The past 5 nightlies all hang at "loading...please wait." Ive tried it on my macbook and my windows 7 laptop...each with 3 different cables. If i try the r515b it seems like it will work, but i would rather use the lastest version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
I need a log to see what is going on. I don't have a new mac to test with. I need a 64 bit mac of any kind to get full compatibility.

However, I did just fix a lot of things in last night's nightly. It shoud be operating properly.

Not working on Note 2 ... Failing at bootloader upload

Hi,

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AZSALUKI:
will this work for me?

I truly apologize if this has been answered. I rooted but never unlocked. I also froze a file so that I wouldn't take any updates. So....I'm on stock 1605VRALJB, but rooted. Can I use this method to unlock. I have tried to unfreeze the file that I originally froze and when I do that, the phone will immediately find the update, but can never successfully download it so I figure it's time to just unlock it and use a custom rom. I know you say be stock. I justjust don't know if that means original stock rom (with root) is OK, or if you have to be on the most current stock rom?

For whatever reason CASUAL worked today on my phone. I've tried it on every computer I have access to (all were windows 8 except 1 and I did have to use zadig for the correct drivers) and used about 5 different cables. Then today I found another cable that I hadn't used before and tried again ... and SUCCESS! So maybe it was just the cable ... also different this time was my virus software popped up a warning after starting CASUAL which it hadn't done any other time (even though I had tried with it enabled and disabled to see if it made a difference).

All I can say is THANK YOU, I am now rooted AND unlocked and it couldn't have worked any better once I got the right combination of cord and computer lol. :good:

Hitting a wall

Here is my pastebin url: http://pastebin.com/yXs2z8Um

What's going on is that I can't get past the driver install issue. Here is what it says: 'LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED'; Attempting to continue

I am stuck

I am using my current Note II as a hotspot for my home internet (not with Verizon's permission). With that being said, I have a warranty replacement phone and would like to unlock and root it. The new phone is running 4.1.2 VRAMC3, so I would have to unlock/root it using these methods http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2272066. However with my phone being the only source of internet via hotspot, I am unable to use this method as you must be connected to the internet. When I take the battery out of my current phone and put it in the replacement phone I have no internet (I understand this, this is not the issue).

What I am asking is there to unlock and root my replacement device like the old method here http://xdaforums.com/show...php?t=2043636? This method needed no internet connection to the pc while unlocking/rooting.

If I can go ahead and use Casual Injection 9 to do it manually I imagine the pit file, The Bootloader Baseline package - Odin Package, Suck It Verizon Bootloader 2- Odin Package are not the same as it would be for the i605VRALJB.

Where can I download the correct files to use with Odin and Casual Injection 9?

Thank you so much!!

My laptop has a damaged screen or I would take it to the local McDonalds to use there internet connect. I dont see myself being welcome carrying my broken laptop and a 70" led tv to McDonalds lol.

MSE and CASUAL Nightly downloads

Ok. I have a question. I have 3 different nightlies (804b, 811 and 817) which I have downloaded and performed an md5 checks on after download. All md5 checks matched. 804b and 811 connect to my phone, but just has the "loading..please wait" message. http://pastebin.com/jdxaagJ1. 804b and 811 were downloaded with MSE on. 817 I downloaded with MSE off, and it seems to work.

All three versions were ran with MSE off, but only 817 works.

What does MSE do to the downloaded CASUAL file that prevents it from running, even though the md5 check shows the file is fine?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AZSALUKI:
ok....so when i open casual, it says device connected and allows me to "do it now." however, it hangs when looking for download mode, and at that time my p.c. gives me an error that says "hardware i.d. not found." am i screwed? i rooted back in december (did not unlock) and had to use odin to flash the stock rom after have a number of issues. i recall some type of message about my device getting a new id number, but didn't think anything of it at the time. since then, OTA's have never been successful, and now when attempting this method, i get the hardware i.d. number error. thoughts? help? am i stuck with this thing on the stock version from a year ago, forever....lol?

edit: it finally ran, but i immediately got this: http://pastebin.com/yysRAB2g
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] penorwood:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but why do you need internet access to run the tool? Once it is downloaded to your computer it doesn't need internet to unlock/root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rootedlikeatree:
I would assume that it would to check for drivers, right, or are those already downloaded inside the tool itself?

Either way I can't get it to even get past my problem from four posts ago...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ChristopherShort:
Casual now takes the original way of unlocking and automates it, it even states in the first post that you must be connected to the Internet.

I am hitting another wall. The phone reboots into Download mode and then the error that I am getting now is: Claiming interface failed.

same here, different pc's and different times, cords, etc....only yield different errors. it started with casual not even showing i was connected. then it did and started to do it's thing, only to give me an error. it has started the process a number of times with 2 or 3 different types of errors. i give up until someone that knows what they are doing can help. i'm a novice at this stuff and i figure i'll quit while i still have a working phone. the error logs are a foriegn language to me. i've even tried different nightlies of casual. i wanted this to work, but it just hasn't.

I'm still running stock VRALJB on the phone, but have it rooted & unlocked using Adam's earlier tool, and CWM 6.0.2.5 installed.

Now that Adam has this new tool to root and unlock build MC3, do you think it's best for me to do which of the following:

1) Flash the Return to Stock (or alternate) and then do the OTA to get to LL4 then MC3. Then use Adam's root/unlock and install CWM Touch 6.0.3.2 after. Followed by setting up all my other apps/settings on the phone.

or 2) Just flash the Stock Root Odex CM3 Rom since it rooted and unlocked bootloader already. Then just install CWM Tocuh and my apps/settings

Stick with option 2, just flash a rooted version of VRAMC3.

---------- Post added at 02:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 AM ----------

This version of casual will unlock the VRAMC3 firmware, the latest official release from Verizon. So, if you want rooted/unlocked stock then update first. Though I believe Casual will still unlock both VRALJB & VRALL4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikejr83:
64bit. I did a md5sum and came up with the same hash as dev-host.

I opened the script to see where it was stopping. It appears to hang after this line:

$HEIMDALL flash --pit "$ZIPFILEsch-i605-16gb.pit" --repartition --BOOTLOADER "$ZIPFILEsboot.bin" --8 "$ZIPFILEboot.img"

Since the next line is having adb wait for the device to come back up I did a battery pull to "restart" and let the phone come back up and then let casual finish.

The first time I didn't get any other prompts. It seemingly finished like your vid shows. I noticed that root didn't stick (tried adb remount and adb shell and wasn't able to su). I tried it a second time and got the popup from this line:

$IFNOTCONTAINS 3.0.31-414933 $INCOMMAND shell "cat /proc/version" $DO $USERCANCELOPTION Improper kernel, I have detected an unsupported kernel\n You may continue if you are rooted. Otherwise click stop\n and restart the procedure.

And even though for some twisted reason I did laugh out loud when I was reading the script I didn't get the error on the line that follows that one.

It's weird cause the first thing I did was watch your vid and thought, "dang that's too easy; much easier than having to execute term functions like with the S3..."

Let me know what other info you need. I'm glad to help any way I can.

EDIT: Just re-read your post as I started re-thinking about this again after this post. I thought the heimdall command was successful (even though I saw the error on the screen it says success). Now I understand what the error means after reading your post. The script I have in the jar file appears to be the correct command to be executed in download mode. From what I remember about CASUAL in reading one of your earlier articles you can push updates for it to download, correct? Can I check that it is getting the latest script at runtime or what it is going to execute?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FAUguy:
I did just that. Flashed the restore to stock, did the two OTA updates, then used Adams program to root and unlock C3. So far I've got all my appeared and settings installed, but Wallet is being a bear and not working. Seems that many others can't get the methods for it to work with the new C3 build

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
You did the build.prop mod, and it didn't work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhauler1969:
It works until I change it back to the the original entries, then it won't work. Tried editing the build.prop to be the Sprint Note 2 and it fails to register the device.

What I Had To Do to get Root

First I would like to say that I use three AntiVirus, Spyware, and Malware scanners - I had to make sure that real time protection was disabled in each of them and exited out of them if I could as well. So essentially the whole time I was doing this I as totally unprotected from any viruses, spywares, or malwares. I know that it's stated in this thread multiple times, but I wanted to make sure that it was known that this is step one in the procedure that I had to pursue to get root.

--

I used the CASUAL version R515 for it to get actually get it rooted. The nightlies wouldn't cut it for some reason as I tried about 7 of them.

What I did once I kept hitting walls was go ahead and do a factory restore back to orginal out of the box settings. (I was trying to initially get to a version before the VRAMC3 update, but it didn't work)

Either way I still went ahead and went to factory settings.

Once I got there I got onto my computer and UNINSTALLED any and all Samsung Drivers.

I Googled "Heimdall-suite-1.4.0-win32.zip" and downloaded that for the drivers. Once I downloaded that zip file I extracted it into a folder on my desktop that I had already been saving all of my Galaxy Note 2 flashing files into... (Of course I gave it it's own folder inside that folder)

Once unzipped I plugged my phone back in and opened up the zadig.exe and went into options and clicked the List all devices. Then from the Drop down menu right in the middle of the program I selected the Samsung one. Then clicked the install button. Now that I was that far I went to the OP's link to all of his nightlies and downloaded the R515 version.

Opened that bad boy up and then clicked "Do It" - that

DIDN'T DO IT

. It got me almost all the way complete. It got 75% of the way and said it couldn't for some reason, and then after about 5 minutes I heard it say "Casual" again in my ear (I was wearing headphones) so I said - "F it, I am going to click "do it" again" so I did.

After that attempt it finally took. - Woo Hoo...

Now I tried to install Cyanogenmod and that had it's own hiccups, and if you need to know what I had to do to get past the bootloader screen go ahead and PM me and I will tell you. (I don't want to post that here since this thread isn't about the Cyanogenmod ROM)

--

As a disclaimer - I am not saying that this will work exactly for you, but what I am saying is that it DID work for me when I was hitting the errors listed below:

LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED

OR

Claiming interface failed.

OR

ERROR: Failed to confirm end of PIT file transfer!

ERROR: PIT upload failed!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TrojanDroid:
Hm, you've inspired me to try again. I can't get past that PIT error with any of the recent casual files, so I tracked down r515 and tried that.

It went past the PIT issue I was having earlier but stops every time at:

ERROR: No partition with identifier "60" exists in the specified PIT.

From reading up in the pages in the 40s, it appears that's a clue that you're not rooted and the likely cause is virus scanners. I disabled everything (windows firewall, MBAM, MS security essentials and then took the extra step of uninstalling MSISE because I couldn't get one service to stop running.)

Same error.
