[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dragonstalker:
OK let's get you started, young Obi Wan. Jailbreaking is a term used for IPhones to give them system access.

Rooting on Android is something completely. Term goes back to Unix. Android is a LInux based operating system that uses the same Unix guidelines.

Windows= Administrator

Linux=Root

So basically to "ROOT" your phone, gives you complete administrator rights over it.

I would take a day and read up on FAQ's (starting with our own I605) and google a good DO and DON'Ts of rooting.

All phones are different in rooting process. So for this occasion you want to familiarize yourself ODIN and Heimdall. 2 important things for Sammy phones.

***************************** BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING WITH YOUR PHONE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ADB ACCESS*******************

Correct drivers from Sammy and correct "PIT & Tar" files are the begging steps. Look at the top of the Q&A section for our rooting guide. (I would read 3 or 4 rooting guides before i start as a first timer)

LEGAL JARGON: THE POST HERE ARE NO THAT OF XDA, GOOGLE, AFFILIATES, VERIZON OR ANY SUBSIDIARIES. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ROOTING YOUR HANDSET WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY, AND IS NOT GUARANTEED IN ANY WAY. YOU ENTER INTO THIS AT FREE WILL AND AFTER HAVING DONE RESEARCH, HAVE MADE A SOUND DECISION TO ENTER INTO THE ROOT WORLD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ze Giggler:
Lulz. Sorry. But yeah, my carrier is Verizon.

Thanks. Yeah, I have been reading up on it literally ALL DAY. STILL!

So here is where I'm at. I downloaded the Note2 Toolkit. Paid a donation to get the early updates. Started the process for Note 2 4.1.2, the version I have.

Then it takes me to a page explaining how Verizon locks the bootloader on Samsung phones and to unlock it I need to use the CASUAL process. So I go to that page only to find out that there is no way to do it on WINDOW XP computers......

WHICH IS WHAT I AM ON. Windows XP Professional.

So is that it? Roadblock? I have no access to any other computers.

I have jumped through so many hoops today. I'm just annoyed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dragonstalker:
nope you still have a world of options. At this point it makes it way easier for you. BUT your have to learn a new OS. Download ubuntu and and use virtualbox to run ubuntu from your xp desktop. It's very simple. Then use ubuntu to root your phone. SInce ubuntu is linux, its so much easir that way. Also, Odin is a windows program so this is where you would use Heimdall. It's the linux alternative to Odin. Try using the "NO YOU VERIZON" unlocker on ubuntu
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ze Giggler:
*ThrowsHandsUp*

Stock it is then.

I'm Done.

Night All.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dragonstalker:
Or pay somebody on craigslist 10-15 bucks to have them do it for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ze Giggler:
So I'm dumb. Lol.

My OS is Windows 7! There is still hope. I tried at my complex's business center last night and they are running XP though. I literall was there until 3am in the morning.

All I have to do is go sap some free wifi from somewhere and I'll be good. Because I know what to do.

But yeah. Yesterday I downloaded so much. Never that much in my entire life. Their computer was a brick when I got done with it. Some things multiple times.

Windows Media Player 11

MTP

Winzip

Java

Virtualbox

Ubuntu

Casual

Windows 11 again.

Ubuntu again

Java once more

Winzip again

Bitzip

Note2 Toolkit

Their computer is dead. Lulz.

And their silly XP couldn't even detect my phone after all that.

So I will attempt again today. I may just go to the library and use their computer.

How will that affect the backing up process? Is that an integral necessary step or not needed for what I'm doing and if it is, does this happen during the bootloader/rooting process or can you do it later?

Also does casual root your phone too or just unlock bootloader because it keeps saying one click step to root your phone because the toolkit just sends me there to unlock, not root and I already paid for the toolkit so hate to have wasted my money.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
I would encourage you to stay away from that stupid toolkit. All you need is to use casual to unlock. Once casual is done, boot the phone, download goo manager from the play store. In goo manager update twrp (install OpenScriptRecovery from menu). Then flash a rom

Sent From My Sticky Note, Too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ze Giggler:
And the plot thickens after I had it all figured out. Lulz. So can you explain to me exactly what roll the toolkit is suppose to play in this process that apparently is unnecessary?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
I have seen more people have issues using that damn toolkit. There is a prerelease version of software included with it that once flashed you are stuck on it and can do nothing.

Just follow my post above and stay away from the toolkit. Then you will be all good.

Sent From My Sticky Note, Too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ze Giggler:
This is what keeps happening when I run CASUAL and it causes the process to stop.

Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
Disable antivirus and Microsoft Security essentials, then do it again

Sent From My Sticky Note, Too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ze Giggler:
Thank you! After 2 days it is finally unlocked.

It took me to the Twrp page though and I didn't know what to do then it said somethjng about partitions and boots and went to grey and I thought I bricked my phone and got scared. So I rebooted the system. It said something about superuser needing to be fixed. I did it. Rebooted and here I am.

I feel like there are more steps though.

I do have the supersu app though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
Once casual finishes and your phone boots, you are good. Download goo manager from the play store. In goo, hit the menu button and install OpenScriptRecovery. Reboot phone. Then you can look into whatever rom you want to use

Sent From My Sticky Note, Too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ze Giggler:
Great. Thanks. I don't need to back anything up or mess with the system anymore?

I know I read about some Titanium app. I think it will allow me to delete factory ware. System recovery kept coming up in my readings as well.

I'll work my way up to Roms eventually. Not there yet. Lol.

But as far as bricking goes, is there anything else I should be weary of?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
It's always good to have a backup in twrp of your current rom. Then if you do something and mess up, you can go back in twrp and restore the backup. Twrp is your system recovery.

Titanium will let you remove bloatware as well as back up apps and things.

Bricking can always be an issue if you don't read. Stick to roms in the verizon note 2 forums, don't use other carrier's roms, modems, or kernels. Most times a brick is a soft brick which can be fixed by odin to stock.

I mainly wanted you to stay away from that toolkit. So please delete it and forget about it. You are now unlocked and rooted. Continue reading and gaining knowledge.

Sent From My Sticky Note, Too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ze Giggler:
Oh okay. That's good to know. I thought they could snoop and find rooted phones and brick them like they do gaming consoles.

Is there a good wifi hot spot tether app. The one I planned on using isn't working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelikesbikes:
This is why I love XDA, dude had a problem, couldn't get unlocked. Someone knowledgeable steps in and gets him going in the right direction, fixes him up. And not once commenting on the word jailbaiting being used. I'm sorry, I thought that was funny. Honestly though I am glad you got fixed up. I would definitely keep reading everything you can find and maybe look into how to fix your phone in case of a brick before flashing a ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wolfeyes30:
Yep....there's still a lot of GOOD on XDA. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ze Giggler:
Yup. I'm very grateful.

And yeah. What better way to demonstrate my ignorance. Jailbaiting. Lulz.

Everyone probably could've stopped reading my post right there and knew the novice they were dealing with. Ha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Wittyusernametaken:
Does anyone know how to fix this? I have to switch to stock messenger to see the pic and then when I go back to chomp it will then show.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] smokescreen:
Try handcent SMS. I've had problems with chomp in the past and always came back to handcent. The devs are really good about fixing any issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] johnus:
Try Textra...it's made by the same people, and it's fast, fluid, and completely replaced my stock messaging app (I can freeze the stock app with no issues). I've had no issues with MMS in it, like I have with most other 3rd party SMS apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hovax615@hotmail.com:
+1 for textra I use it as my daily SMS app. I was having problems with other 3rd party SMS apps I would take a picture but it would only send sideways it was stupid with textra it doesn't do that and its light so it makes it fast.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] pham818:
+1 textra
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] smokescreen:
OK, so I'm trying out textra and have made it my default SMS. I'm not receiving notifications or the pop up. I'm getting them in the stock messaging though. Am I doing something wrong? Help is appreciated. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ghost0211:
It's a common problem w chomp i fixed it like so...begin by whining your application cache for chomp and stock messenger. ..

Go to your mobile settings and copy the mms settings or whatever...then input those to the chomp app...i also had to enable in the stock messenger "auto retrieve mms"....then in chomp disable that feature that says something like b preserve resolution"... Once all is done reboot and have someone send you a pic. It should work. Give it a few hours i knew mine wouldn't work right away but now it's golden.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] antny422:
No Textra Notification

This happened to me as well. I found that if I have any additional third party SMS apps besides Textra installed, then Textra will not notify me of a new message. Also check your stock messaging app and make sure notifications are turned off there as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Wittyusernametaken:
I.tried all the suggestions and in the end nothing worked so I jumped ship to Sliding Messenger, which does fine with pics.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] johnus:
Lucky you, I've never gotten Sliding Messaging to fully work with MMS, no matter what combination of settings I've tried. It's the reason I jumped ship to Textra (although to be honest I've been using Hangouts for my SMS lately...the only features I'm really missing are the pop-up replies and dark theme).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ghost0211:
It disgust me that there are messaging apps that don't support popup on Android these days especially hangouts

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pacbert:
I got an Galaxy S3

Yesterday I merged my contacts with google and they all disappeared!!! is there a way to revert this??? I can actually see them

if I go into settings and check the show them all option. But when I click on phone contacts I cant no longer see them. How can I fix this???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
once you check merge with google, all your phone contacts will be moved to google account and they no longer appear as phone contacts. hope you understand that. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pacbert:
First of all thank you for answering me so quick. I understand that, my question was if there was any way to revert this, unmerge tha contac list or any other way of setting it back the way it was. I was just trying to backup my contacts using google.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
i suggest you keep them that way. because when ever you flash something on your phone, you may loose your contacts when you data factory reset. once you login to your google mail, your contacts will be in your phone. you can even look up your contacts in your gmail on desktop. i hope you know all these already. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pacbert:
Ok I guess there is no way to revert it. I'll keep them this way, it makes sense. Thanx a lot
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4751:
You can do this

Open Contacts

Tap > Menu

Tap > Import/Export

Tap > Export to SD card

You will get a message saying it is saving a 00001.vcf file

Tap > OK

All contacts are then saved to a single vcf file the on the external memory (SD) card.

Use a file explorer and make sure you have the file on your external SD Card

Next got to Settings > Application Manager and scroll across to All

Scroll down to Contacts Storage and tap clear data, this will wipe your contacts data

Go back to the Contacts

Tap > Menu.

Tap > Contacts to Display

Tap > Phone

Tap > Menu

Tap > Import/Export

Tap > Import from SD card

Import the 00001.vcf file and select Phone as the option

You should have all contacts back with a Google icon and a Phone icon next to them, if you have then finally do the below

Next log into Gmail click on the Gmail drop down (top left under the google logo) and select contacts, then select all and click More > Delete Contacts, give it a moment to clear from your phone

Done, removed from google sync and back on your phone also backed up to your SD card as a single vcf file
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pacbert:
Thanx a los sir!!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4751:
No problem, just updated it to say remove from Google after restoring the vcf file from the SD card just in case there are any problems with the import

[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ge0rG:
Resurrecting a thread after over a decade. I just got a GC110, and looks like goo.im has died and archive.org doesn't have the JARs, so could you please provide the file if you still have a copy? And it looks like the link is for GC100, not GC110?
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ge0rG:
So I just successfully rooted the 4.1.2 ROM on the GC110 using the Galaxy Camera CF AutoRoot method with heimdall.

Extracted the ZIP, then the tar.md5, got recovery.img and cache.img, ran this:

heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img --CACHE cache.img

It rebooted into the recovery with a red logo background, patched the /system partition, and rebooted into regular (rooted) Android!

I didn't need any "fix" on UK .254 firmware, even with Root and CWM recovery; Offline charging is not a problem for me.

Using DoomLoRD's method, after rooting we need to flash the correct kernel so I did it with the 3 wipes selected but excluding system. Doing it this way will be like a Factory Reset (everything will be deleted) but the phone will no longer face the offline charging bug...and you will keep the root and recovery. Try it, do a fresh install.

Download it: http://www.mediafire.com/download/nm8c4nwb7sxdblt/C5303_12.0.A.2.254_o2.ftf

AFAIK, is not the firmware, its the way you root it. May be rooting it's the answer to delete that annoying bug (offline charging one)

Remeber: When flashing the 254 kernel, select the 3 wipes, EXCLUDE SYSTEM, and select no final verification and its all you need to do. (Start with you phone charged up to 100%)

i came to the XDA Exec as a long-term Palm OS user... it's been more of a learning curve than i was expecting, but the one application that i still miss the most (and that sometimes makes me wish i hadn't sold my Clie UX50!) is NoteStudio (http://dogmelon.com.au/NoteStudio.shtml)

without wanting this to sound like an advertisement (i dont work for them - honest!) i never realised how much i relied on it until i made the switch to windows.

for those who don't know of it - it is a note-taking app that works like a personal wiki. you get all the benefits of a wikipedia-type approach (simple syntax, links between pages, HTML pages that can be viewed/printed/etc. in other apps etc.) in a personal note-taking app that can be viewed and edited on both your Palm and Windows PC.

for those who have seen it - can anyone suggest a WM equivalent?

i've relying on just using NoteStudio as a stand-alone PC app, and miss having my notes with me at all times - it's almost enough to make me wanna buy a Palm for note-taking only and carrying it around with my Exec! :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dalelane:
sorry.... blatant attempt to get this higher up the list a bit :oops:

does anyone use anything other than the Notes bit of stuff like Pocket Outlook or Pocket Informant to take Notes?
