Just want to say thanks, to everyone for the support and info given in this forum. I bought my Note 2 go figure the day the OTA was released. Soft bricked my phone for 2 days, with no luck. Finally managed to get the phone to boot with the .pit file, and the Root66 stock ROM. Phone is up and...

Just a heads up for everyone - for all those who have been following this thread, & may have bricked/soft bricked your device as I have done after installing the OTA lately - well, after many attempts, I was finally able to boot my phone. I had to take the .pit file from the original post, and...

Just a heads up for everyone - after many attempts, I was finally able to boot my phone. I had to take the .pit file from Adam's post, and then download this stock image - http://androidjinn.com/root-verizon-galaxy-note-2-i605.html/2 & follow the directions. It was the ONLY stock rom that...

I can't even do this. I've had my N2 just sitting for two days now, unusable. I'm at a loss currently, & would appreciate anyone being able to get my phone up & running, Remote control my desktop if necessary. Otherwise it looks like waiting for a fix! Always a great community. Thanks all.

So, in the link that's up 2 posts previous, you're saying the alternate image in that thread will allow you to boot? I am not able to get ANYTHING to boot. My phone just freezes on the 'Galaxy Note 2' splash screen. I've tried the .pit file, stock images, and the first download in the thread...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107738 -- been following this. seems that a fix is already being worked on, just a matter of time. but ya figure that's a given anyway. patience at this point. anyone know of an alternate stock image I can flash for now, to at least be able to...

I installed the OTA the day of release, not knowing, being a brand new phone. Attempted the old root/unlock method, before this was a known issue. Locked my phone. Can only access download mode. No matter what I try, I cant get back to stock. Everything fails. I'm just gonna try & exchange this...

Adam, - any possible idea as to when a fix might be available for the update? I know the OTA was just unleashed, but it sure is a pain. Second day now where I can't do anything with my phone. Only progress I've made is by flashing the pit file alone, I can get my phone to read/show the galaxy...

I'm not sure. Could you provide me a link to one, & where to place in ODIN? I'd be happy to give anything a shot at this point. Just wanna be able to even use my phone right now. Thanks.

I'd be happy even with stock at this point. Not even being able to boot the phone is becoming frustrating. The OTA seemed to have ruined everything... There's gotta be someway around this. Guess I'll just have to be patient. Luckily for us, we've got great support and developers. I'm sure there...

Do you have a link to this image? My phone is rendered useless at this point, can't even get it to power on. Just gets stuck at the Note 2 screen, and freezes. I'd at least like to be able to flash back to normal. ODIN always just fails at the sboot.bin on any image I try to apply... any help is...

By all means, I'm not quitting. - When I fail, it only makes me want to achieve completion that much more. I'm just frustrated... it's my luck that there would be an OTA the day I have to exchange my phone, lol. I just now have an unusable device. I would be happy to donate $5 as well, hands...

I've tried the updated method, with the pit file, and still no luck. Still stuck. Odin just keeps failing - gets near the end, then nope! nothing. Can't boot my phone whatsoever; only access to download mode. -- [Fresh out of box today, new. OTA update installed by rep.]

Where was the file located that you flashed to be able to get back to a somewhat working condition? I'm in the same spot as you. Phone completely stuck.

I've tried this as well. Downloaded the 1.5gb stock ROM, tried following those directions - but ODIN gives me an error message. Says it fails. Right after sboot.bin -- I can't get anything to work. Beginning to get frustrated now, lol. It's my only phone! Gotta get it to at least boot up...

WELL - I think I'm officially stuck. I had to exchange my phone today, & this one is fresh out of the box. It's got the OTA update, which apparently came out today now I'm reading? So, I started this process, and now my phone is completely unusable. I can still get into download mode, but, I...

I'm still stuck, and lost. I can't seem to find out how to run the CASUAL exploit. Apparently I should be able to just 'double click' it, as the OP stated - but I can't find an excutable file to run... -- As seen in my screenshot a couple posts ago, I've downloaded the casual exploit, I have the...

I figured it was something as simple, but it seems my computer won't recognize something to open it? I've tried uninstalling/re installing Java twice now. I'm running Windows Vista 64-bit. My girlfriends laptop is Windows 7, but the files look the exact same. I've attached a screenshot of how it...

Just got my N2 earlier today - switched from an iPhone 5. Used to be big into the root scene, but now I'm having the most basic of issues it seems. Fresh out of the box, just looking to root & unlock. Got all the files, & understand the whole process, I just have a quick & stupid question - how...

would you mind please sharing what you've done in order to obtain the transparent refresh icon, and also the counters for messages, calls, etc...? thanks! ...*edit*... I realize this might be part of the 'plume' widget now. is that it? also, what is plume? lol. thanks.

Sorry to everyone who asked for this wallpaper a while back... I haven't been in the forums too much lately. Here it is for ya tho!

Never used 'GoTo' before, but after seeing this screenshot, I just might...haha. Nice shot.

I use ADW Launcher, with extended desktop, and hidden status bar for the clean homescreen, but whenever I'm in an app, or not on my homescreen, the notification bar/clock is always showing. best of both world's.

GINGERBREAD; Delicious! Here's mine, for the moment at least. I seem to be like the rest of you, constantly changing, flashing, etc... It IS addicting. Oh, && I would really recommend checking out Blackdroid's ROM, UltimateDroid. If you're a fan of AOSP, he's usually got really nice stuff...

I'm sure this has been asked multiple times, yet I still can't seem to find it. Can someone please tell me what the date widget is? I'm familiar with SimiClock, but I don't know the one for the date. Please & thanks. :]

+1 That's a super simplistic setup, && I love it! I want to say the battery widget is just circle battery, but with the circle itself set to transparent, whereas the text is white? Just a guess... *edit* now that I think about it, not too sure, since it's aligned flush with the right hand...

I'd try that, BUT, I no longer have the phone. Sprint took it! Getting a brand spankin' new EVO tomorrow. Guess that'll work. I'm no good with ADB anyway, haha. Now I just wonder, what will be the easiest step to obtain ROOT on a new Evo? Maybe I'll try the one click universal root...hmm.

Tried that. Didn't work either. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Well, I've ran the latest RUU, and I cannot boot into the rom, but it is stating that I have S-ON. So, that would mean that I am not rooted, correct? I should be able to exchange it, hopefully.

No, it's not unlocked. It' showing S-ON. && this problem occurred BEFORE I was even running the hboot 2.02 -- I don't remember exactly what I had before, I believe it was the .76 hboot. Everything was working perfectly fine. I had just installed MIUI 12.3 a day earlier. Used it fine. Had...

Yes, I was using MIUI 12.3, which is AOSP based. I don't think I had the new hboot until sometime after this problem started. One of the PC36IMG.zip's that I put on the root of my SD I believe was from somewhere in the new HBOOT Root thread on this forum, but I can't remember 100%. Prior to...

Haha, I'm not sure actually. I'm on a friends plan. But, there's gotta be a way to get past the problem I'm having, with THIS Evo. Shouldn't be a need to order a new one. Hopefully someone in these forums can figure out a solution.

I've tried this as well, with no success.

Also, the RUU file that I used, I gained from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840843

I just ran it again, and the install process completes. Everything seems to go smoothly. The phone reboots, and you see the HTC EVO 4G white screen, but then it just goes black, restarts, and repeats. I'm still unsure as to why I can't seem to boot into anything. Don't know what caused this. I...

I placed the .zip file on my SD card, and boot my phone into the HBOOT menu. It loaded the file, then put me back at the menu. I attempted to enter recovery > same issue. I'm placed at the white EVO 4G screen, and it keeps boot looping...

Okay so first off, let me just thank everyone who's willing to contribute to helping my issue ahead of time. I highly respect this community, and everything that everyone has done towards making android what it has become. ANYWAY - I'm completely screwed, or so it seems. I cannot boot into...

bump. i'd like to see this as well. i love my phone, running 6.1 with snapturbo, and it's amazing. a little transition animation would only add to the flare that i already possess. look forward to this. thanks!

Yes. I've got 1.47.651.1 on my phone, so I've been using the ota simpleroot method. The 3 click method wouldn't work, to my understanding.

It hasn't put me at .76 - and I've tried Simpleroot multiple times.

Thanks for the luck. & yes, that seems to be an issue. I've read many people stating issues in regards to the .79 hboot. I don't know a solution either. Thats why I'm here. :)

I will try this again. Thanks. Just to be correct, I need the AndroidSDK installed, & the files should be under C: -- Then open the cmd prompt, and type the above commands, hitting enter after each line? I just like to assure myself im taking the correct steps. Thanks.

Yes, I've got the pc36img.zip on my SD card, and it is named correctly. I've even tried formatting my card. As to the 'argument' that's going on within this thread, its pointless. SORRY I didn't post in the correct place. Not like I'm the first. No need to bicker back & forth about it, that's...

I just meant I've followed along step for step with the YouTube tutorial videos, to ensure I'm doing everything correctly. And in regards to step 4 & hboot, in my previous post, that's what's happened as I explained.

Thanks for your honest help. Sorry this isn't in the q&a like the above user suggested. This seemed to be the place where I would receive the most help. Yes, I've got framework 4.0 installed, and HTC sync. All virus protection is disabled. There were no error messages on any of the steps...

I am having so many problems trying to root. Im going crazy. Quick info - I'm running 1.47.651.1 and have hoot .79, not .76 I've read all the threads here, and over at the androidforums, in regards to rooting. I've tried the ota simpleroot method, toasts method, etc. I've followed step for...

I'm having this same issue. I'm using the SimpleRootOTA Method, and have tried this by myself, and following the video tutorials along with it, just to be sure. Yes, I AM new to this, but I consider myself to be very tech-savvy... I can't seem to see what the issue works. I have no problem with...

For some reason, I can't get the 'Weather' tab to correctly display my cities weather in the HTC Home Plugin. It used to work no problem, when I had old Sprint ROM. Now, I have DCD's ROM, but the package with the old radio. It's the self executable .exe at the bottom of the first post...

yeah I agree. even a bugfix would be nice. this is one of the first apps I put on my phone. I have it as my right softkey. only problem I've noticed is when I add a new contact in the default contact spot, it doesn't show up until I soft reset. would love a fix for that. also maybe just to add...
