I have a verizon note 2 that is currently unlocked, rooted with twrp recovery. Due to a wifi issue I can't solve, I am planning on going back to stock using Odin. I want to use the restore file that does not change the bootloader so I can keep it unlocked. I am assuming the Odin file will flash stock recovery. HOw do I flash an alternate recovery with an unlocked bootloader and stock recovery?

FIRST!!! First jailbreak under the new 2012 DMCA Excemption that is. First "Android Jailbreak" ever... Gah that name erks me... Anyway, You’re here to legally Jailbreak your Verizon Galaxy Note 2.

Introduction
CASUAL will guide you through the process. Put your device into “Developer Mode>USB Debugging”. Click the do it button. This is not only the first release of this new Exploit, but it’s also a beta-test of CASUAL. I expect problems... however this will be addressed with updates. See the About CASUAL section below.

We decided to start a new thread becasue the old unlock method is tried and true on Windows with VRALJB. This method is based on a totally new exploit.

Overview
You are expected to be STOCK.... Stock anything, but stock. You will need to download and execute the CASUAL application below. Then click the Do It! button. You need Java. Do you have Java?.

Windows Users: CASUAL will put your device into Download Mode. You will will be instructed to flash the BAVBaseline.tar.md5.gz with Odin3, then the BackAtchaVerizonBootloader.tar.md5.gz . Then you’re Jailbroken. The required files are below.

Linux Users There may be a permission escalation in order to install heimdall, either way sit back and relax. CASUAL automates the entire process.
Please run the following in a terminal first:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

If you're running Linux64, please run the following in a terminal first

Code:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Mac Users: You are not supported at this time. If you care to build Heimdall 1.4.1 RC2 from source, then by all means, we need this in order for Mac support to work. You can boot your device from a Live Linux CD. Go to http://ubuntu.com/download

Downloads in the order you need them.

CASUAL Back Atcha Verizon CASUAL is used to guide the process for Windows and automate the exploit entirely for Linux. The exploit was developed by Elite Recognized Developer Ralekdev and packaged by AdamOutler.
To run CASUAL you need Java. Do you have Java?

Windows Only
Odin307 Odin is an internal Samsung tool for use on Windows. Extract the files from this zip to your desktop and then run the program. It takes the .tar.md5.gz files, turns them into .tar.md5, and flashes them. Don't flash a PIT, you don't need it. Put the requested file into PDA for this procedure and after flashing click the reset button.

BAV Baseline This will prepare your device for the root exploit and ensure we have root access if you have not enabled any exploit blockers. You will flash this with Odin the first time CASUAL asks you to flash a file. This is a bone-stock VRALJB kernel from Samsung. Do not uncompress. This gets flashed with Odin as-is.

Back Atcah Verizon Bootloader This the Back Atcha Verizon jailbroken bootloader + recovery. In order to flash this, you must use CASUAL with the exploit first. This is the last thing that gets flashed Do not uncompress. This gets flashed with Odin as-is. This bootloader was created by Elite Recognized Developer Ralekdev and packaged by AdamOutler.

Jailbreak video for Windows users only!
This video desmonstrates CASUAL used with Odin to flash the Galaxy Note 2 firmware Thanks to DroidModderX.

Jailbreak video for LINUX only!
This video demonstrates the one-click CASUAL Linux Unlock method... at 2AM.. so don't expect me to be cheerful.

About CASUAL
CASUAL stands for Cross-platform ADB Scripting, Univeral Android Loader. CASUAL jar files are a wrapper for the CASUAL scripting language. CASUAL allows rapid and accurate deployment of hacks and exploits. At any time, if a serious problem is detected with any script, the kill-switch will be flipped and you will be brought to a support page.... most likely here.

Updates
CASUAL provides updates WAAAAY quicker than Verizon. As soon as I push an update to the Subversion repo it appears automatically in EVERY casual. See below for the change log.
25JAN12: Initial release.

Perfect

Thank you very much! Got my note 2 and took the ota yesterday, followed the OP/video exactly. After flashing the backatcha I had to unplug for work emergency, came back, opened my laptop, plugged back in and continued where I left off and it still worked flawlessly. Simple and works perfect. I appreciate your work on what seems to be an awesome phone(on beans10 with peanutbutta kernel and have 53% battery with 3+ hours screen on, heavy usage, 7 hours off the charger *mind blown* coming from a gnex)

bacardi198 · Mar 1, 2013

Hey all, ran this with what I assumed to be no problems, as at the end the phone rebooted into TWRP. Problem is if I press install it reboots the phone. I tried starting a backup it went to the backup screen then rebooted. Is there something I'm missing, or something I can try to remedy this problem?

Many thanks!

I'm on win7. What I had to do was the following:

Open a cmd window in your java jdk (not jre) folder.
Type java -jar [full path to casual]
Hit enter.

That is the only way I've been able to get Casual to run on any of my machines. Might take more than one try though.

I downloaded all the proper files, was following the video and when I tried to start the "Baseline" phase, it gave me this message on Odin and did nothing else after...

"<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)"

And tips?

Can any one else chime in on if they have been able to get Allshare Cast working the the Allshare Cast hub/dongle? It times out after 10 seconds or so. Many other threads around the interwebs indicate that a modified Kernel can cause this. However, the Casual process seems to be a completely stock baseline.

Had issues with Odin force closing on the second download... Had to use root66 then followed the instructions on 544 and it worked...

Get goo manager from the play store. It will grab the latest version and update your twrp if it need it. Simple and painless.

This is perfect. Thanks for the work that went into this. I'm rooted, unlocked and running Beans Rom.

Woot. Thanks again.

It is very easy. It will be easier though if you look through the thread and find the very detailed step by step instructions.

The instructions in the OP are correct - but Mr. Outler does not go into great detail. Since this stuff is just second nature to him I am sure that the instructions seem sufficient. (And I am in no way trying to imply that Mr. Outler has done anything wrong or needs to do something different - I am only saying for people that are not super knowledgeable of this sort of thing that detailed step by step instructions help to ease the nerves).

I am sure most of the guys on here didn't even need those instructions. But they helped me a lot. If I can find a link to the post I will edit this and add the link for you.

****EDIT****

So - I don't know if you are using a Windows machine or Linux. If you are using Windows here's a link to the instructions that I found helpful...
detailed Casual instructions for VZW i605 Note2

Also - a few pages back I believe Mr. Outler linked to a newer version of Casual that is not in the OP yet. But the version in the OP worked great for me. I didn't have any problems with it.
