Nope.

Nope.

Did u try a different usb cable?
Did u start CASUAL 1st?
Did u try a different usb port?
Do u have usb debugging checked?

As I said previously:

SB Debugging is enabled (dev options screenshot here), Windows can access files on the phone, and ADB run from command-line can detect and control the device (tested by running 'adb devices' and 'adb reboot'), but Casual still says "Link status: Disconnected".

I've tried three different USB cables (including the brand-new one that came with the phone), four different USB ports, and even a separate computer, both without pre-installing drivers and with; none of this made any difference.

Yes, I started Casual first.

I didn't read through your posts.
I'm just responding to your "didn't work" comment.
Good luck.

Do you have USB debugging enabled on your phone? If so, you can download Kies and use the troubleshoot connection to try to fix drivers

Edit: just realized you said usb is enabled. Sorry, just woke up

Just wanted to mention that it didn't work for me on Mac (10.8.4). Had phone in ADB mode, had 2 different cables to try with (both high quality cables), and even restarted comp and switched USB ports. Never got it to work on Mac. Kept getting an error with Heimdall.

Worked on Windows 7 via Parallels though, easily. Didn't have a single problem.

I had the same issue until I installed the drivers directly from samsung website, if you have any drivers associated with the phone, remove them, if they are windows drivers leave them alone, the ones from samsung website will work and make sure your using a port in the back of your computer or near the power jack if on a laptop.

If anti virus is blocking and is like avast, put it to sleep for a while.

I was getting a similar error but my virus scan kept popping up to block it. Turned of virus scan and worked fine

Thanks for the info. I only have MS Security Essentials and am pretty sure real time protection was turned off. Getting ready to try it again, and will post the pastebin if it doesnt work.

Welp, that did the trick. That was the 2nd attempt I had tried to root. Guess I forgot to turn off AV. Thanks for the tip.

hey adam..asked for a collab months back..regarding brd n btrack5r3....easy peasy...now we do kali linux..in case u get bored/wanna challlenge us/u self for a change,...

What's the point of restating the obvious, unless you're the one who called MS to report this as a malware? Obviously this has nothing to do with the security of Windows and should be called into MS to have them remove it as a threat.

Here you go.

It's the Windows UAC permission elevator I use. Rather than sign my own binaries, I have a pre-signed application that lets me bring up that Yes/No box and run other applications. It's effective consididering I'm not a Windows programmer. If zadig begins signing their binary properly, I can remove that. However, i wouldn't worry about it. it's not malware, it's something which any old malicious application programmer COULD use as malware so your virus scanner flagged it.

Im straight STUCK, 4 years of unlocking/rooting about a dozen android phones and I'm absolutely stuck. Any help, greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello All,

I have successfully flashed another Note II over the weekend and have verified my computer, cable and USB ports are working fine. I too am stuck. After reading nearly 20 hours of posts and looking at different site, downloading different ROM Versions and different PIT files I run into the same problem on one phone. They started a new tread for me here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45910703#post45910703

I read one article that stated the ROM might be "read only" and I'm unsure how to get around this problem. Here is my situation... I can SUCCESSFULLY flash my rom (according to Ordin) but when my phone goes to reboot it simply turns off. I am also unable to get to the "system recovery menu" and reset the device. Ay suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

In the OP there is a link for the newer version of Adams casual thread. Also, you didn't start a new thread, you just posted in one of Adams threads.

Thank you for this Adam! I just have to ask...any plans in jailbreaking the Verizon Galaxy S4, too?

Thanks!

Yep.. Keep in mind that the nightlies are unstable. For example, I had to disable kill-switching and updates two days ago in order to make things work properly without try-catching a null-pointer exception. However, aside from on-the-fly updates and kill-switch(which has never been used on this exploit), the nightlies are way better than the stable here.
