more info.

The phone saves to SD card by default. I was in the gallery app and erased the "camera" folder, instead of a single picture. I tapped cancel before it had finished, but it doesn't appear to have worked.

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ----------

I deleted it from the TW gallery app. Meant to do a single pic but did the whole "camera" folder. I clicked cancel before it had finished but to no avail. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
Oh... I see. This may not work, but it would be worth a try. If your computer has an external SD card reader, you could try to insert the SD card into the computer's card reader, then use a file recovery program to see if it can recover the deleted files. There are a ton of free file recovery programs out there...so I can't necessarily recommend one over another. However, I have used one called Recuva in the past and had good success with it. It is Windows only though, so if you are using Mac or Linux, you would need to search and find something else. Here's a link to Recuva if you want to check it out: http://www.piriform.com/recuva. The free version should have all the features you would need to try to recover the deleted files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cooksta3276:
How about this?

How about running my sD card in a rooted device using disk digger?

What about inserting my sD card into a rooted device and running Recuva or DiskDigger? Then restore them back to the card and pop the card back into my phone....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
I've never heard of DiskDigger, so I Googled it and it looks like it's promising. The DiskDigger website has tutorials on how to use the Android app and how to use computer to recover photos from a memory card. Maybe one of those methods will work. Seems worth a try. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cooksta3276:
Maybe this....

I have a friend with a rooted S4 at work. He's a dev who actually creates ROMs, and writes Linux code, if he can't figure it out I'm screwed. Had lots of newborn pics and important stuff on there too. Backup lesson learned. I'll let you know how it goes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
Cool. :cool:

:good: Hope your friend can help you recover the photos.

any update? I'm in Thailand right now and would love to be able to use the 3g here.... but phone is locked down can only use voice and text

No. And don't hold your breath. Probably not going to happen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mkobella:
No Root... Ever

So I have spent countless hours searching, and come up with nothing. Anyone else have an update?

On a side note. Anyone know of a good phone to replace this with? Is the Note 3 rootable? What sucks is even if I get a new phone I can't root it and back up my crap. Anyways. I love the Galaxy line, just not having root is really ticking me off. And I hate how if you call in with a problem or something they ask you to do a factory reset. Well that's all good and well if you don't care about losing everything, but if I can't have root I'm not about to do that. I really want to switch carriers at this point as it's frustrating.

Anyone have any good suggestions on phones!?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattdiehl83:
Dude..For Real??!!

So i smashed my note 2 (sch-i605) was fairly peed off atfirst. Then a thought occured (which is a miracle in my head) that now ill get a replacement device that will not have 4.4 on it.....YAYYYYY right? NOPE!! I get the device with 4.3....ok i figure i can work with that. Nah not at all. I tried geohot's awsome towelroot-no luck which is a shocker since the device should be supported..then tried every verison of framaroot-again NOPE. Even tried kingo. Now im still rather new to all this. I rooted my wifes att s3 and enjoy that. I rooted my vzw lg g pad 8.3 and like that. But with the g pad i cant do any custom roms which kinda sux. But i want MY phone rooted. Plz...why is nothing working with this phone?? Any idea why its not working when my device should be supported. Any help is always appreciated and teaches me more on this topic. Thankyou in advance.my kernel is april 10th 2014 btw on a VZW Galaxy note 2 (sch-i605) running android 4.3.

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

I would say a nexus device of any sort. From what i hear they seem to be the best to modify. I dont know if thats correct but from what ive seen doing research seems a good choice. Im hooked on the galaxy line tho and i figure with patience these AMAZING men and women on xda will always find a solution to all of our android woes. And as for the note 3...Id assume that if the 2 on 4.4 cant be cracked i dont see the 3 being able to be. Atleast with verizon id say. Seems verizon is the devil to Devs. Anyway happy picking friend. Hit the thanx if i helped if you dont mind
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BluGuy:
There were 2 releases of 4.3 for the sch-i605. MJ9 and ND3. MJ9 is rootable and ND3 isn't. I believe you can use Odin to go back to MJ9 if you are on ND3. Then you can root. However if you accept the 4.4.2 update you can't flash back to 4.3.

Also towelroot won't work because our phone uses a Samsung cpu which the exploit isn't present in the kernel for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattdiehl83:
Humph :(

Ok so i do infact have the ND3. Is there ANY quick root method for this device? And if so would u be able to link it. And if not at all perhaps you could send me the right direction to flash to the other build you mentioned?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BluGuy:
There isn't a root method for ND3.

The following thread has the Guide in the first post. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024207

You will want the return to stock section. Remember you can only downgrade to MJ9.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattdiehl83:
thank you

Ok thank you so much. Now when i do this is there anything i need to know thats important? And is it a fairly straight forward process? Or do i run risks of ruining my device? Lastly....once successful downgrading then i can use framaroot?

So sorry for all the questiins but id rather ask now rather then flooding this thread. Again thankyou very much for your guidance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BluGuy:
Just follow the Guide.

As for root I have read saferoot works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thunderblaster88:
There has to be a way to root the new update, or even a bootloader unlock for anything under 4.4.2 I'd be willing to pay to anyone that's will to unlock the bootloader
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Android_Fr3ak:
I just want to be able to save to my SD card. However, as stated before, everyone has moved on from this device. There will most likely be no root or unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scuba75:
Not solution for the root but should be able to use Helium backup to backup non rooted phone _https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mkobella:
Does this backup app data that I can't access with out root though? Like before I would just use the root browser and copy over databases to my sd. Now I can't access it. I ended up ordering a note 3 a few minutes ago so I guess I will find out, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] note2guy:
Im a bit new to rooting phones, though I have downgraded a version in the past.

Does rooting a phone automatically enable a locked bootloader?

I simply want to use T-Mobil on my 4.4.2 Verizon Note 2 I bought on Craigslist. The guy who sold it to me told me it was unlocked, and when I found out it wasnt I made him give me half my money back (So I only payed $80 for a mint condition Note II!)

Can anyone help me get TMobil work on this phone???

Thanks,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Go buy a t mobile Sim..pop it in. Go to settings>mobile networks>preferred network..choose GSM. Then after that you should be able to edit your apns in access points names.

Should be pretty easy

Just don't go flashing any T-Mobile Roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] note2guy:
I have tried this method already.

First off there is no option for "preferred network" also when I select GSM theres an option for "Manual" or Automatic" I guess it should be on Automatic?

What I used earlier (which did nothing after I restarted the phone) was:

Settings>More Settings>Mobil Networks>Access Point Names>

Than I pressed the plus sign and configured it this way:

Having the same problem. Purchased a Verizon Note 2 for my fiance today, only to find out - Sure, texts, calling, and even the internet work after selecting the GSM network (had to put it in manually, of course) - But, I'm not getting 4G LTE speeds... I know there is a way to edit that by calling a series of numbers when rooted.. But, my questions:

1. Can it be rooted so I can dial that #324 blah blah blah whatever it was to enable the LTE speeds?

2. Why can't I access my T-Mobile voicemail? I have to dial the number and input her password to do so!

3. I have also a T-Mobile Micro SIM card inserted.

So.. how can I go about getting said 4g LTE Speeds? I'm on:

Device Name: SCH-I605

Android Version: 4.4.2

Help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
There is the option. Please don't come off smart. I know the option exists in stock roms. If you don't have it for some reason, if your rooted, try adding: ro.radio.networkmode=enable to the build.prop

Also to enable LTE make sure you have this line as well: telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1 and make sure this is erased:telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1

I am not sure what APN's need to be added but I know it is possible. Plenty of people have done this before..LTE may not be possible but 4g is. 4g is equivalent to T-Mobiles h+.

You can also take a look at this thread:http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/development/mod-hack-permanent-lte-network-t2249498

Would be the same concept...

PS your quotes messed me all up loll
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DavidM92:
No offence, but you didn't really answer my questions? Not trying to be rude. Heh. I'm asking how to do it, and from what I've read - rooting a Note 2 on Kitkat as mine is is impossible? How do I root it to change the bands to get 4G LTE? Also,

Why can't I access my voicemail???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
You can't root if you took the OTA. So you are stuck using what you have.

Not sure about the voicemail thing.. What do you mean you can't access it? You said:

What are you expecting to do? Dial #1?

That wont work anymore. So just save the number you have above and save it as a contact name "voicemail"..

Also the numbers to edit the preferred network is *#*#4636#*#*
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DavidM92:
The *#*#4636 thing doesn't work. Doesn't it have to be rooted to use that? Also, is there ANY WAY possible AT ALL to get 4G LTE on this thing? I try to select LTE/CDMA on the network, but it just blocks it. (/) thing. I only have 3g and HSPA+ right now. :( My father has a NOTE 2 as well through T-Mobile, but he has the T-Mobile version, where as I have this seemingly POS Verizon version.,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
No I don't believe it has to be rooted for that menu to work..but could be wrong BC I have never had a un rooted phone =)

Not sure about the LTE man. Your selecting the wrong network if you are selecting LTE/CDMA BC you have a GSM Sim in....

The phone is not a pos.. That a little over exaggerated. It is a true global phone..just you are stuck with not be able to root it at the moment. I'm sure when the a new Samsung device gets released, like the note 4, someone will find a root method and I am almost positive it will work for ND7. Samsung implemented Knox 2.0 and some tidbits in the kernel on KK. So that's what is screwing everyone at the moment
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DavidM92:
The string of numbers doesn't work. Would there be others for my phone? What are they called and how do I figure out what they are? Maybe the phone DOES have to be rooted? Gargh. >__<

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 25yvdgpo06:
No, does not work. Tried many times even before reading that. You just get a write fail for any recovery, system, data, and probably other partitions once your bootloader is locked. (Hope it is not against the rules to share my opinion that this sort of behavior by device makers or carriers should be criminalized.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MajicDroidPirate:
Your a little misinformed

Thats not true Verizon forces this on Samsung, that's why you can still root Att and sprint note2 with cf on kitkat but not Verizon....Samsung may write the programs but they have to meet their clients requirements.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:

The wait will be over once the Verizon Note 4 is out. Someone will focus on rooting it and the same method will more than likely work on this phone.. patience..

Root solution for VZW galaxy note 2 SCH-i605

Hi, as i'm new in the XDA community i want to share what i did in order to get

my verizon galaxy note 2 rooted. I was looking around the web and i found a very useful

tool to get root access in this specific model; GHETTOROOT is a powerful tool to get superSU in galaxy note 2. Just try it as i did. It worked for me and now i'm trying to have CWM recovery installed and remove the knox. I hope this help to those who want to get root in this device.

You will not be able to install CWM recovery because the bootloader is locked on 4.4.2. You should do a search for Safestrap if you're wanting to put a modified recovery on your rooted 4.4.2 Verizon Note 2.

Hello I am wondering if anyone has ever experienced this problem.

I am trying to take screenshots of my app (or any app that I have tried) in the emulator. When I take a screenshot quite frequently part of the screen is corrupt / missing, like this = i.imgur.com/cjpNeaz.png , it can happen anywhere on the screen not just on the keyboard. If when using monitor to take the screenshot I can refresh and it make work and take a proper picture or another area of the screen may then get the problem blank area

I am using android-sdk_r22.6.2-linux on Ubuntu Trusty 14.04.

My emulated device is Nexus 4, 4.4.2, ARM cpu and any skin, no emulation options.

I have tried taking screenshots via monitor and adb but result in the same issue as seen in screenshot above.

Does anyone know how to fix this or am I going to have to take an ubuntu screenshot and crop to the android screen?

Hi guys, please help if you can before I pull all of my hair out. My wife’s Galaxy Y is in a boot loop & I’ve spent most of the weekend trying to fix it without success. I'm a newbie here but have searched your forums before & found them very helpful but can't find a solution to my missing drivers problem.

So far I’ve followed the instructions in post 6 in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33706714 but ODIN’s ID:COM field never changes colour (version 1.85). I’m guessing this is because every time I connect the phone to my PC I’m getting a message stating that the CDC drivers ACM & OBEX can’t be found despite having installed KIES from the link supplied.
