[Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT V6 GSM] Drivers, Backup, Root, Recovery, Flash Stock Image
- Thread starter mskip
- Start date
Take it to the store you bought it from. Especially if you got it today. I would say hmmmmm my phone wont turn on. Is this how all your phones work? If they wont exchange it, go to another store and return it. Actually i probably would return it and go to a store and buy another one. "is thing being very sneaky...yes" Would i do this "yes" Do i have morals "yes towards people not electronics"
for some reason i am not even able to launch the application. it just starts and quits.
And reading the comments i assume for tmobile note 2, doing step 4 only is the safest thing to do.
And reading the comments i assume for tmobile note 2, doing step 4 only is the safest thing to do.
The craziest part to me is, why even take the chance? With all the mixed results of using the software, it is probably better to wait for the OP to OFFICIALLY confirm that this is safe to use with US versions. This of course is just my opinion and what do I know.
Worked for me: T-Mobile Note 2 - USA
just wanted to confirm that the toolkit worked great for me and getting root.
Device: T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 - SGH-T889
Just did, the options 2 - Rooting options and then option 4 - Flash CWM Touch + Install Rooot
I verified the samung drivers were installed prior to running and used the included samsung drivers.

what do you mean by bricked??? did you lose IMEI??? if so, have someone send me a stock boot.img from a Sprint Gnote2 and I will create a file for you to flash in odin....i did the same thing last night for t-mobile
---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------
the rooting process will NOT brick your phone...if you install anything other than cwm and supersu/superuser than you will lose your IMEI...which is something that can be fixed with the original boot.img....if anyone has a sprint gnote 2, can you backup your boot.img and send it to me? i will create a file like i did for tmobile last night and you will have your IMEI restored as well as your signal and the use of s-pen..
Hey Slim, help me out if you can.. still no signal on my SGNII.. =/ Anything just to back to stock so i can start over.
EDIT: Flashed ARHD ROM and now i get no signal at all.. and IMEI = Unknown and Model Number changed to GT-N7100.

sounds like you are going to need a full odin image to me...have you tried doing a factory reset on the device? i am not sure if that would restore back to the way it was before you flashed the ROM but it is worth a shot as well...
Yes, i tried that, but nada... not even sure they'll give me a replacement even if i go to the store i got it from. =/
do you know how or know anyone that would be able to tell me how to backup my phone and create a .tar file out of it? if i can do that, i will just upload it and you could flash it in odin and should be all set after that...
Hi Mark,
please direct me to the download link of the version you re uploaded. I downloaded Version 1.0.0 from the 1st post again but I am not finding withi the toolkit folder the program for making the update.
Best regards,

Look at this method here.. but not sure about creating .tar files...
http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-backuprestore-rom-on-rooted-galaxy-note-2/
you can backup the rooted ROM though. Appreciate it Slim!!
yea....backing up is the easy part...im going to try and package the system and the boot images into a tar file and see if that will work for you...so much for that idea...it only backed up recovery and boot....going to try and see if one of the developers can help me out with this....
Last edited:
I PM'd a developer to see if he could give me a hand with this...i just need the system image backed up and that should be all you need to restore but not positive...kinda in limbo until he messages me back....
TO ANYONE WITH A TMOBILE NOTE2 THAT ROOTED BY FLASHING CWM RECOVERY AND FLASHING THE ROOT ZIP FILE. CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE A NAND BACKUP USING THE TAR FORMAT AND SEND ME THE BOOT.IMG FILE SO I CAN ROOT IT AND ADD FULL SUPPORT TO THE TOOLKIT.
ANYONE WHO HAS TRIED ROOTING THE TMOBILE AND SPRINT VERSIONS BY FLASHING AN INSECURE BOOT IMAGE INSTEAD OF THE RECOVERY METHOD. DO NOT WORRY AS YOU JUST HAVE AN INCOMPATIBLE BOOT IMAGE ON YOUR PHONE AND AS SOON AS I CAN GET THE STOCK FILE FROM SOMEONE YOUR PROBLEMS CAN BE EASILY FIXED.
I NEED THIS FILE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO ANYONE THAT CAN HELP PLEASE GET ON IT ASAP
TMOBILE USERS WHO HAVE SOFT BRICKED BY FLASHING THE N7100 BOOT IMAGE CAN YOU DOWNLOAD THE ATTACHED STOCK FILE AND FLASH IT VIA ODIN WHICH SHOULD FIX YOUR BOOT PARTITION. HOWEVER IF YOU ALSO FLASHED AN N7100 ROM THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE MAKES A FULL NAND BACKUP AND POSTS IT.
I HAVE ALSO ATTACHED A ROOTED KERNEL IF SOMEONE CAN FLASH IT AND CHECK IT BOOTS. IM NOT ABSOLUTELY SURE IF TMOBILE AND SPRINT ARE THE SAME UNTIL I GET A STOCK SPRINT BOOT IMAGE OFF SOMEONE SO IF A SPRINT USER CAN TEST THESE 2 IMAGES THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

NOTE: Key files are signed with a Digital Certificate from skipsoft.net but some ‘may’ get picked up as potentially harmful by Antivirus Programs and deleted. They are not harmful, this is a false positive given because of the compiler used. If this happens restore the file and exclude the folder from future scans to use it. This seems to happen mostly on AVG Free and Norton. If you are using the Auto Update feature on pro versions then you will need to disable the AV program or exclude the folder from scans before running the update again.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUBLIC (FREE) AND PROFESSIONAL (DONATE) VERSIONS?
THE PUBLIC VERSION OF THE TOOLKIT INCLUDES EVERYTHING YOU COULD NEED TO MANIPULATE AND ROOT YOUR DEVICE.
ACTIVATING THE PROFESSIONAL VERSION ADDS THE MOST USEFUL FUNCTION IN THE TOOLKIT, THE ABILITY TO CHECK FOR ‘AUTO UPDATES’ DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT AND HAVE THEM PUSHED TO YOUR PC RIGHT AWAY AS SOON AS THEY ARE UPLOADED WITHOUT NEEDING TO DOWNLOAD THE WHOLE TOOLKIT EVERY TIME. YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE LATEST VERSION AS SOON AS IT IS MADE AVAILABLE. THIS MEANS SMALLER UPDATES CAN BE SENT OUT MORE FREQUENTLY, SUCH AS ADDING A SINGLE FUNCTION, FIXING A BUG OR ADDING COMPATIBILITY FOR A SINGLE CARRIER. THE SMALLER UPDATES WILL BE COMPILED AND RELEASED TO THE XDA COMMUNITY AS A FULL (PUBLIC) DOWNLOAD VERSION SO PROFESSIONAL VERSIONS ARE ALWAYS UPDATED SOONER.
THE PRO VERSION ALSO ADDS THE ABILITY TO CHECK FOR THE LATEST VERSION OF SUPERUSER AND RECOVERY FILES AND DOWNLOAD THEM DIRECTLY TO THE TOOLKIT.
THE ‘QUICK PICKS’ SECTION[/B] ALLOWS YOU TO PROGRAM UPTO 10 SLOTS WITH TASKS THAT YOU MAY PERFORM ON A REGULAR BASIS OR JUST WANT TO KEEP A SET OF TASKS IN 1 PLACE. THEN JUST SELECT THE SLOT AND IT WILL REMEMBER ALL YOUR SETTINGS FOR THAT TASK AND RUN IT.
PRO USERS CAN ALSO SELECT THE “ANY BUILD” OPTION IN THE BUILD SELECTION SCREEN TO ROOT ANY BUILD AS LONG AS THE VERSION IS SUPPORTED (USEFUL IF YOUR BUILD IS NOT LISTED).
MORE IMPORTANTLY DONATING SHOWS YOUR APPRECIATION AND ALLOWS THE TOOLKIT TO CONTINUE TO EVOLVE AND GROW.
AUTO REPLY LINKS FOR PAYPAL TO GET A CODE INSTANTLY CAN BE FOUND AT http://goo.gl/nyGqv
--------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE READ THE *HELP* PAGE AT http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=1269 OR USE THE INFORMATION SECTION WITHIN THE TOOLKIT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF TIME TO WRITE IT AND SOMETHING ON THERE SHOULD ANSWER 99% OF PROBLEMS.
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. INSTALLING ADB/FASTBOOT DRIVERS
The first thing you need to do is to install the adb/fastboot drivers. These are needed so that you can unlock your bootloader, root your device and perform other adb/fastboot functions.
THE DRIVERS CAN BE INSTALLED DIRECTLY VIA THE TOOLKIT. OPTION 1 IN THE MAIN MENU.
If drivers are not installed or there is an exclamation mark next to the device:
Plug the device in to a usb cable directly connected to your motherboard.
In the Device Manager a new item, usually called Android 1.0 should pop up in the list.
Right click on the device item then left click on Update Driver Software. Select 'browse my computer' and then 'Let me pick from a list'.
If no adb interface driver appears in the list then untick 'Show compatible hardware' and find the Android or Samsung adb interface driver.
If you cannot find either of these click Have Disk, browse to the Toolkit install folder, drivers folder, click on android_winusb.inf and click Open.
Click OK and select Google ADB Interface.
Make sure you have USB debugging enabled in settings, developer options. In Android 4.2.2 or later you have to enable the developer options screen by going to settings, About on your device and click on Build number at the bottom 7 times until it says You are now a developer. If you have already enabled usb debugging then unplug/replug the usb cable.
On Android 4.2.2 or later when you replug the usb cable after enabling usb debugging for the first time you will get a popup asking you to authenticate your pc. Tick 'Always allow' then click 'ok'.
--------------------------------------------------------------
2. USING SKIPSOFT UNIFIED ANDROID TOOLKIT
When starting the Toolkit you will first be asked which device you want to work with. Working folders will be created and the device files downloaded. You will then be taken to the Model/Build selection screen where you can do a number of things (other than select your model/build): Type '00' to enter your activation code and enable pro features, 'i' will take you to the Information and Help Section, 'a' will give you information on how to add support for a new build.
Supported builds are listed in the Model/Build selection screen and typing the associated number (i.e. 11) will download needed boot and recovery files (stock and custom recovery) then check for and download the latest superuser files available and custom recovery (pro versions only), verify all the files and start the Main Menu. You can now use all the functions and tools the Android Toolkit offers. Pro users can select the "any build" option to root any build (useful if your build is not listed).
--------------------------------------------------------------

Q. What is ADB Shell?
Adb shell is a linux command line tool (because android is based on linux) used to send commands to your android device. For S-ON devices, this is crucial for modifying files in the /system partition (where the rom sits) as you cannot modify anything in /system when the rom is running without S-OFF (e.g removing system apps).
From Google:
Android Debug Bridge (adb) is a versatile tool lets you manage the state of an emulator instance or Android-powered device. It is a client-server program that includes three components:
A client, which runs on your development machine. You can invoke a client from a shell by issuing an adb command. Other Android tools such as the ADT plugin and DDMS also create adb clients.
A server, which runs as a background process on your development machine. The server manages communication between the client and the adb daemon running on an emulator or device.
A daemon, which runs as a background process on each emulator or device instance.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I flashed CWM but each time I reboot the Stock Recovery is back
There is an auto recovery restore system on Android that will reflash the Stock Recovery if you flash CWM on a Stock Rom.
Use Root Explorer to Mount the system folder as R/W (or use a free app from the Market). Delete the file recovery-from-boot.p from /system. Now when you flash CWM Recovery it will NOT be overwritten after a reboot. You can also use the Toolkit to rename the files if you wish.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. What is the difference between Nandroid and Titanium backup?
A NANDROID will backup the whole system including boot, system, data and recovery partitions so you can restore a complete rom and all data and settings.
Essentially Titanium Backup is used to backup apps and associated user data. These could be restored AFTER a full wipe and a new Rom had been flashed on your phone.
The other option now which google added into the new adb command list is the adb backup which is in the ToolKit and can do the same job as Titanium Backup but will store the data on your PC rather than on the phone (where it takes up space and could be deleted).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. When would i perform a nandroid vs a titanium backup?
You would perform a nandroid backup to back up your entire system including boot image and data and system partitions so you can restore your entire system back to that particular point in the future.
You would use Titanium Backup mainly to back up your installed apps and settings so they could be reinstalled easily and quickly on any future roms. You can also choose individual apps to backup or restore on Titanium Backup whereas if you restore your boot partition via CWM Recovery you are stuck with the whole lot.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. When I try to open the ToolKit I get a box pop up for a split second and then it goes away. My AntiVirus program says the file may be harmful.
The exe files I compiled are not digitally signed with a Microsoft certificate (as they cost money) so certain AntiVirus programs (mainly Norton and AVG Free) will pick it up as potentially harmful when it is not. They pick up ANY file that doesnt contain a purchased Microsoft certificate in the same way. Restore the deleted file and exclude it from further scans and it will be fine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. I donated but where do I get my activation code from?
Donation Codes are sent out manually to your PayPal email address [unless otherwise stated] after a confirmation email from PayPal has been receive. The Code can then be entered in the ToolKit Settings, Activate Donators Features Screen. This will enable The Auto Updates, Quick Picks and Extras Features in the ToolKit. Please be patient when waiting for the Code to be sent as it depends very much on what I am doing and whether I am at my PC when the donation is made. Please do not post in the ToolKit's thread or pm me asking for the activation code as it clogs up the thread and my messages. If you haven't received your code after 24 hours then feel free to email me via the skipsoft.net contact page.
Don't worry that you have been forgotten about, I check all emails personally and will deal with it as soon as I can.

Q. I flashed the Stock Firmware Image. Odin flashes the file successfully and the phone reboots but it stays stuck on the samsung logo
If the firmware tar file does not include a userdata image (which most Samsung firmware do not) then your userdata partition will be left from your previous setup. If this is incompatible with the new firmware because of build or something else then your system will freeze on boot up.
This is easily fixable by holding the Volume UP, Home and Power buttons all at the same time for about 10 seconds until the device reboots to the Stock Recovery screen. Use the Volume Down button to scroll down to 'wipe data/factory reset' and press the Home button to select it. Go down to yes to confirm and your userdata partition will be wiped. Your device should now boot fine.39How To Videos on the Samsung Galaxy Note II ToolKit

How To Root
How To Manually Boot to Custom (or Stock) Recovery12I am working on updating and adding ALL the samsung Toolkits (S3, Note2, Note 8.0, Note 10.1 and Galaxy Camera) to the Unified Android Toolkit. I hope you understand that this is a mamoth task as the Main Code needs a 90% re-write to make it compatable and I have not been able to work much over christmas but I am back in full flow now. I will be adding support for all available new builds and existing codes from donators will work to activate device specific pro functions on the unified android Toolkit. Follow me on twitter or keep an eye on the thread for updates when the devices have been added.
