Good question. It says detecting Java on your system and nothing happens. I don't know how to see what version was installed?

I hate this Mac BTW. What a waste of money. :P Downloading 7u21 now.

EDIT: Got it now. Had to use Safari (gag). Thank you for the help!

Guys let me try to make this as easy as possible.. I tried for almost two weeks to get casual to see my phone.. It wasn't casual it was my drivers.. I had the correct usb cord but nothing would work.. I used cadi. Exe and the other file which I don't recall the name right now and again nothing worked.. So today I went to Walmart picked up a burnable dvd and burned a copy of Linux... Since I'm a bit new to the Linux os on my laptop it took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to make a file run as a. Exe... But casual ran perfect and now I'm back to beans rom after about 2 weeks on stock

Hey Adam could you cook up a manual version that uses Odin instead of Heimdall for Windows. Heimdall combined with the nightmare that is drivers on Windows just fails for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
no. you need to uninstall whatever Odin driver you installed and everything will work fine. go to device manager, click uninstall, and "delete drivers".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dorkfish2425:
hell yeah!`

Finally got it to work!

deleted all drivers, then installed from http://stockroms.net/file/Drivers/Samsung/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe

instantly connected, and 3 min later i was unlocked and running twrp. TYTY everyone. heres pastebin for research and debugging if anyone needs it.

http://pastebin.com/VKKsdPbD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
Heimdall is a much more versatile, and scalable than Odin.

Odin is great for flashing back to stock. It offers little to no debugging information when it fails. Window's cannot natively and reliably create the needed .tar.md5 files for Odin.

Do you have a log file which I can help you with?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
Thats exactly the driver that caused your problem in the first place. only uninstalling that "Driver for samsung phones" will allow CASUAL to work. I don't understand people's obsession with installing drivers they don't need. I'm certain more than one person has received a virus that way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dorkfish2425:
No what I mean was every tip I tried didn't work, my phone would not show up in casual until I installed that driver. Not sure why it worked since every other post didn't help recognise my device... Idk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
This is why I recommend users install Kies. Though the program itself is less than useful, the driver pack it installs is always the newest, and always from a trusted source.

In the future CASUAL may use a Universal ADB driver, to avoid (or bypass) these situations altogether.

Its also important to note: that even though this fixed his problem, it may not be a solution for everyone. Windows is a finicky, needy, hormonal pain in the .... You get the point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dorkfish2425:
Yeah I had tried a few universal drivers at first with the same results. Then a random post sent me to that driver which for reasons unknown to me, worked. Happily running my rooted saber kernel jedi xv rom now. Thanks all the help guys.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FrostyIcy:
Haven't posted hear in forever since I was flashing the Droid X!

Okay so I have a question because this stuff seems more confusing. What all do I have to do to get the updated drivers? It's no longer plug my phone to the USB and computer and they install automatically?

I basically would like to root to enable wireless tether and maybe remove some bloatware, other than that my Note II is fine as far as battery life and all, stock is good for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
remove any drivers you installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
I don't want to sound like an bunghole, but the last three pages covers your question. Please use available information before asking questions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] forsaken82:
sorry for posting a stupid question but if it has been answered i missed it. on my gnex unlocking the bootloader also wiped data. is that the case here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] inkdaddy66:
My best guess would be yes but I don't really remember.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrloper:
Your ROM will have an exynos exploit ran, SU and busybox with be injected. Other than that, it will remain intact.

You should do a full nandroid backup prior to attempting to unlock none the less.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] inkdaddy66:
Now that I think about it. It didn't wipe data after unlock. But you will need to wipe when you decide to flash a rom. Once you're unlocked and rooted. You can also use titanium or mybackup to backup and restore apps and data after your wipe. That's what I did.

Sorry Adam, I didn't run a log prior to closing the program and I don't have access to the Note II anymore.

WinXP

It connected, saw the device, I hit "Do It" and then it prompt to continue (the warning) device rebooted in download mode, and doesn't get recognized. It's on the VRAMC3.

I also tried the CADI.exe and it says that it "is not a valid Win32 application"

Mac

When launching gets "The Java JAR file "NoYouVerizon-GalaxyNote2-CASUAL R515.jar" could not be launched."

When checking the version, it is JAVA 1.6, the problem is, going to java.com says "For Java versions 6 and below, Apple supplies their own version of Java. For Mac OS X 10.6 and below, use the Software Update feature available under the Apple menu to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java 6 for your Mac.

If you have problems with Java 6, contact Apple Technical Support. Java.com does not provide a download for these systems." :(

Any suggestions?

Bricked

While this doesn't carry much merit, I have rooted and jail-breaked(in my previous life!) all my previous phones without problems, so I'm a little embarrassed/ashamed that I somehow managed to brick my note 2 with a one-click root process.

On page 30 of this listing, I commented that I tried to run this on a macbook Retina, tried both usb ports in combination with 4 different usb cable to no avail. I currently am trying to do this on a windows 8 pc and after installing and uninstalling drivers to get it to recognize the phone the "no You Process" program finally showed "connected". Went ahead with the procedure and, phone says - "system software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help."

I know better as to go there, but hoping someone can give me tips on the unbrick method that would work best/iscurrent for the latest update that Verizon has released.

I'm limited to halfass hotspot connection so would like to download only the files I need, rather then stumble through outdated youtube videos of unbricking previously patched and no longer working methods. I say this because I read that Verizon has closed some loopholes used for both rooting and unbricking.

Thanks for the help in advance.:highfive:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blacks10:
I am stuck in the ODIN bootloader/download menu. I cant access the restore menu only this odin menu. My problem currently is that I am unable to get ODIN to detect my phone. Installed a series of drivers and even kies to no avail. Swapped cables and usb ports. Maybe it's because I'm on windows 8 now? I bought this pc 3 days ago.

Still not panicking but am getting frustrated that I can't get device recognized.

***On a side note, the casual program when I just ran it, although showing "disconnected", runs to a point. It uploads PIT successfully, the updates bootloader successfully (X2), ends session, reboots device(which it does), states [Heimdall Success]. When it says your android should be rebooting now, it does and gets stuck immediately with my prvious error, "software not authorized by verizon" from a few posts above.....

K. I think the problems Windows users are having may be a bug we introduced while troubleshooting.

Until we get this fixed, Windows users

Here is the CASUAL Automated Driver Installer. https://android-casual.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/repo/CADI.exe

If you find yourself looping, run this with your device in Download Mode, connected to the USB port you intend to use.

Unable to recognize device after CASUAL

This is the second time after using the CASUAL jailbreak that I'm unable to get MTP or ADB to work. I think CASUAL's Automated (USB)Driver Installer is the culprit. After it installs the driver and everything is done I can no longer get my Win7 computer to recognize my note 2. It wont recognize any samsung phone, at all. I got around this the first time by uninstalling the samsung drivers and reinstalling an older version, however, with my new Note, nothing is working. It will install the samsung android driver and stop there.

I'm out of ideas. I cannot be the only one having this issue.

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
You're not supposed to install CADI over ADB. That's for Download Mode only. Uninstall the driver and delete from device Manager. You can also use a Linux Live CD until we get Windows fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2strokenut:
I didn't do that, I let the program run as intended. It boots into download then asks to install the driver, it won't proceed unless I let it install the driver. Sorry, I should have clarified.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
So it asked you to install the driver and then it worked? Or you installed the driver manually? Your two posts leave MANY more questions than you're answering. Did it work? Did you download the driver? Were you sitting there hitting no when it asked you to hit yes?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2strokenut:
I apologize, I ran the CASUAL and after it booted into download mode It then asked to install the driver for hiemdall or whatever it is, I had to choose yes or it would not proceed. After it installed, the phone was rooted and bootloader unlocked, just fine.

Why? Why risk it if you're already unlocked? You already have the capability to flash the updated firmware without the need to lock, and then unlock the bootloader. If you just want the latest software flash beanstown106's rooted stock rom, and the VRAMC3 modem.

The bootloader itself has no benefit whatsoever to the end user other than to lock us out of being able to do what we want with our devices.

Nothing will be erased from your phone, however as with always before doing anything to your phone you should make a nandroid backup on an SDCARD

I'm in the same boat. Before CASUAL, my Note 2 talked to my computer fine, I could transfer files back and forth, see it in explorer, etc. Since then, none of my cables or ports will let me access my device except to "connect as camera".

Do a battery pull, rebooting your phone, then enable Unknown Sources and then retry CASUAL

Adam doesn't want the files mirrored, when a new version is released all previous versions will fail to run.

Meaning: all "mirror" downloads will be just redirect them to download the new version from Goo.im

---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

Your Internet connection (ISP) plays a very small part in CASUAL (just checks for newer version) other than that it would not be a reason for CASUAL to fail.

Did you post a log requesting support?

For what its worth, here is how I finally got my Verizon Samsung galaxy note 2 sch-i605 to work with windows XP sp3 home edition. Two weeks it took to figure this junk out. The problem was the phone was not being recognized by win XP. I couldn't transfer files to and from the computer to the device. Tried switching usb ports, rebooting, wiping data, installing the latest Samsung drivers,etc, etc, etc. All junk and a waste of time. Delete all Samsung drivers from your device manager. Make sure you show hidden files on the menu to make sure you don't miss any. You don't need to install any usb drivers or anything but these 2 programs from Big Microsoft. Make sure to have windows media player 11. I don't care if you use it or not, does not matter. Some of the drivers are built into this version and windows XP needs it. Second, install the MTP Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit. Install both then plug your phone into a usb port and your device will show up. Then you can transfer files, root, whatever you want. You also don't need to install anything from Verizon so just click no when it pops up. You don't need Samsung Kies either. Just these 2 files is what works for me. Your welcome.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerdstaz:
Sorry I meant to come back and explain how I fixed it in case you see it again, I had the latest java installed and the driver situation correct. I had uninstalled and reinstalled items until my face was falling off. My last resort was going into safe mode, uninstalling Java and the drivers and deleting the AppData files associated with the java executable...then I just booted back to Windows, installed the Samsung Drivers (if you go to samsung.com and select the note 2, support, downloads...the same driver is there WITHOUT having to install Kies.)....I reinstalled java...and it worked flawlessly. I must have just had something in a strange state - but I am all unlocked now.

I appreciate everyone in this threads work and efforts! I read literally every page yesterday before I asked questions, haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hacku:
I have a question which hopefully won't be too hard to answer.

I have a Note 2 with the latest OTA. I used the previous version of CASUAL when the after the OTA was released and got stuck in a bootloop. I was finally able to recover the device which rooted successfully, but there was no recovery installed and I don't know if my phone was actually unlocked.

I'm tired of running the stock ROM (again), so I need to make sure the phone is unlocked and I need to install a recovery.

Do I have to flash back to stock and then use CASUAL again, or can I use CASUAL right now to have make sure my phone is unlocked and it installs a recovery?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
