[Jailbreak][Root][Recovery] Back Atcha Verizon-- update 17MAR13:Windows/Linux

eric2112 · Mar 29, 2013

I got this working pretty quickly and with little confusion. The only snag for me was that the drivers did not seem to auto-install and I ended up using Gadget Serial for mine. Worked after that.

I do have a question about the warnong about flashing other custom ROMs from ODIN:

Imnuts has a 'Stock / Deodexed / Rooted' rom available that I would really like to run as I would like to apply some systems mods.

Is that safe to flash? Please forgive my noobness as I am coming from the Galaxy Nexus where the warnings were few.

Where would I find gadget serial driver. I tried Googling but couldn't find it.

Hey MAC guys!

Download this and try it! I think this should work for mac OSX, the problem is that I have a 32 bit machine and I need a 64 bit machine in order to test it fully. So, if you're looking to unlock from mac, test this for me!

First install this: https://android-casual.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/repo/Heimdall_1.4RC3_mac32.pkg
Then run this: http://d-h.st/IL8

If it works, I can update the repo and publish an official version. This is a test. I need to know if you get any problems with this.

i just wanna make sure i don't screw things up so i'm gonna explain what i have done and maybe someone can give me some advice. i just got my new note 2. it was on vraljb so i did the root66 to root it. did the update like a dummy to ll4 but was left with superuser as a system app with no root. used the root66 to get root back and i'm back on vraljb with root currently. does that mean i'm still on the updated bootloader and will casual still jailbreak the new bootloader. i have been with moto for a while and you didn't have to unlock the bootloader to install costume recovery only be rooted. kind of screwed me up for a min cause that's what i tried to do right after i rooted. luckily root66 has been my best friend in getting my phone in working condition. the stock file you use in odin to restore to factory fails at sboot and i haven't been able to figure out how to get the alternate file to show in odin. someone told me to unzip it but the only thing i can do is compress it to zip. i'm going to try to install the newest drivers now and see if casual will read once it gets to the downloading mode. says connected waiting for phone to enter download mode but does nothing.i am mostly using windows xp but also have vista on another computer. vista will get to the part where i choose gadget series but it does not show. i haven't tried the 1.5.20.0 drivers yet so i'm hoping that will do the trick for ether computer. just looking for some advice before i try again to get some roms on this bad boy. this phone blows my droid razr maxx out of the water stock so i cant wait to unleash its full potential. thanks in advance for any help and sorry for the long post.

edit: no matter what version driver i install it says after i plug it up that devise was not installed properly and may not work correctly. i just got done installing the new drive and getting the same thing as before. no gadget serial on vista. and casual stopping when it gets to waiting on download mode. then sends phone into download mode but doesn't continue.

Windows XP is not supported.
What is listed when you get to the "choose Gadget Serial" part?

MTP shouldn't be loaded if your phone is in Download mode, is your phone in download mode?

It should look like this:

I think I ran into a hicup with my device. Its a 1 week old note 2 and when installing drivers on a win 7 64bit I selected the gadget serial then hit reinstall driver and after that I didnt see a pop up so closed the window, the casual program then failed with an error and doesnt reboot into android like the screen says it will. Dont want to touch the phone until I posted here. Please advise. Thanks

Error: Protocol initialisation failed! Your device should be rebooting into android now.

But its been at least 5 mins and nothing. How should I move on from here without corrupting anything, thanks

Disconnect your phone from the USB cable and pull your battery. Reboot the phone, and retry.

This happened to me a couple times this morning before it finally worked. Don't know why. Disconnecting the phone from the computer and pulling the battery caused no trouble- it started up normally each time. After a few tries it all worked out. I'm on a W7/64 bit machine too. Since then I flashed MeanBean and it's like I got a new phone all over again. Made an already great phone much much greater.
