lol i was just playing i meant like xdatv type video like the first one :p good job as usual, you and ralekdev are Godly
Yeah. That would be too much about the note jailbreak on there. Its not xda jailbreak note II TV:) . I just wanted to get something up for now and I recorded impromptu at 2AM. Everything seems to be going well. I'm going to bed.

not getting even 1Mbps on 4g LTE on clockworkmod 10... after flashing the above - do any of the new modems improve LTE speeds? its always been terrible....

and btw on wifi its great......

Also when I add my gmail acct why doesn't it sync all my old apps and settings? It seems to do this sometimes but sometimes it doesn't... i guess its rom specific?

Thank you Adam! One thing that did happen to me and i couldn't figure out why it wasn't working is that the file downloads end in .gz, but they do not show up in Windows 8 that way. So, after several trial and errors, I added the .gz to the files and it worked great.

I finally got everything to work. Seems I had mucked everything up while trying to get rooted after installing the OTA. I flashed the root66 just to get to a semi-known baseline, and then everything worked flawlessly. Oh, another noob mistake: I was putting the BackAtchaVerizon.tar.md5.gz into the bootloader section of Odin instead of PDA... Lesson learned.

Anyway, all seems happy now with a successful TWRP boot after all is said and done.

Thanks a ton Adam, you rock!

Now to decide what ROM to flash for today... :victory:

Why is this being called a "jailbreak"

I assume its because now with the new law, "unlock "is being attached more to carrier unlock than bootloader unlock. I suppose the Note 2 is in bootloader "jail" so this is the jailbreak. So if this was the Note 2 Unlock tool it might be thought there was something illegal going on here.

The phone appears to be getting the download, but after 5 minutes, no activity. I pulled battery and it rebooted fine, so no harm done.


I still keep getting stuck here, baseline goes fine then get stuck here on the second one, any ideas?

The "start over" instructions worked for me as I was stuck there too. I believe it has to do with CASUAL being auto-updated? Once I restarted everything, including CASUAL, I was able to push the BackAtchaVerizon.tar.md5 with success.

Were you getting any of this in CASUAL?
