THANK YOU for the update,Mark. I had the pro version previously and had my activation code sent to me and all is good. However I will be at the mercy of wwJoshDew or some other member to make a how to videofor the updated toolkit note 2 sprint :/
I tried and ended up with an E: failed- error on my phone (almost crapped my homeless pants) thinking I destroyed my phone.....
Quitters never win but they do get continued use out of their phone.

I have the Note2 toolkit donation and that covers the Sprint variant, SPHL900, and I am wondering if there will be any more updates for that version of the toolkit or do I need to use this new version.. Never mind. Emailing you on this.

Good morning Sir,

No worries we'll get you where you need to be. Even your one modded count showing a voided warranty will just poof away. I must confess that I have only been around about 9 months but I appear to have mad all my mistakes early :=)

Were you sucessful unlocking your phone?

Please tell me is your Note 2 still rooted?

A good test is to download The root only version of Titanium Backup from the playstore. If it loads and installs and is blessed by SuperSU you are rooted,

If the installer says root your phone during the installation you are obviously not.

While you are at the play store get "Chainfire's "triangle away" we use that to reset your counter. It works great.

When using a USB connection between your phone and your computer do all the drivers load okay?

Using Samsung's Retail driver pack, there are about 5 drivers that need to load up. If you need to get the samsung drivers, go to the site, look up your phone and download the latest version of USB drivers posted.

Please tell me which version of Original Samsung Galaxy T-Mobile Note 2 (SGH-T889) would you like to install?

I am personally using v4.30 with SuperSU injected as undiscoverable into the mix so once we're back up running we are both Sock and still rooted. It is a good way to go. But up to you. Please make a choice.

I'll be back in a bit to check on your answers.

No sir. The tool kit has no unlock feature inside. However if you had T-Mobile service, for over ...either 3 months or a year (sorry I will have to look that up) they will give you an unlock code for your phone. What can we do for you?

Serial not showing up

Alhough I installed the Samsung usb device drivers with the toolkit while my GN2 N7100 was unplugged, its serial still doesn't show up after I replugged it and refreshed the main menu.
The weird thing is that my GN2 is seen by my Windows OS, and the internal USB memory share is accessible if I enable it.

Any idea why the serial doesn't show up in the main menu ?

Has anyone else had a problem with updating or downloading the toolkit?
Every time I try to update from with in the tool kit or download the file from skipsoft.net
(http://www.skipsoft.net/?wpdmpro=skipsoft-unified-android-toolkit-pro-edition-v1-2-8)
I end up with an error "the server at 192.168.1.1 is taking to long to respond"
My network consists of 10.90.x.x, I don't understand where this 192 address is coming from could it be something on the download server?
Thanks A.J.

Wow Google DNS servers were adding (192.168.1.1:8181) to the front of anything I tried to download (Strange indeed)
I switched to verizon DNS and every thing works as it should.

Hello, I need a temporary root. Can you help me? Thank you.
(I'd like to copy some APK file to the System, that's all. Otherwise, I do not want root)
Thank you for your response.

Thanks and a couple of Q's

addedThank you for a great tool
want to opt for pro version but wanted to clarify a couple of things before (being a newbie)
Device; N 7100 , country- india, status of device : rooted; current ROM- Liquid smooth 4.4.4

Questions
1. since official samsung update is 4.2 and i want to continue with 4.4 , will the toolkit offer this or is it restricted to 4.2
2. if I have to flash recovery via Odin, then what is the benefit i have of using this tool for this specific purpose
3.hwen i try to download the professional version , it is blocked by virus detection- can i use the public version and enter the activation code?

Thanks in advance
Shyam

1. It will still work with other versions/builds, the build selection process is really for rooting which you have no need for if you are running a custom rom.
2. The Toolkit automates some of the manual processes and gives detailed walk throughs to help do what you need.
3. You can activate the public version. If you are having problems with your AV blocking certain files/downloads (due to the compiler used and the exe files not having microdoft certification) then you may need to whitelist the Toolkit folder.

Mark.

i donated before when it was galaxy note 2 toolkit only . how do i apply the pro version in the new toolkit version?

@mskip
You can use the same activation code to activate the pro version of the Galaxy Note 2 module. Just select the Note 2 from the device list at startup then type 00 at the model selection screen to enter your code.
