[Q] Problems rooting and unlocking with casual. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I am having problems trying to root my GNote2 with casual. I have java updated as well as Samsung drivers downloaded. First I was stuck on Initializing Protocol but got past that with a hard boot from battery pull. Now the problem is the device restarts into download mode and does its thing and casual states that it will continue once windows 7 recognizes the device again and after that it goes through the next stage but this is the errors I am getting. Cant just post the log from casual since XDA thinks it is links to websites and I am not over 10 posts. I attached it as a .txt file.

I did find this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42077290) with the same error but I am not quite sure what they needed to download differently.

Wiped out my cellphone.. now when I turned on it requieres an activation.. I'm trying to flash it so I can use the wifi only. It says "press send to activate your phone" I've tried to use the Odin Multi Downloader v4.43 to flash the ROM I tried several of them(geewiz-2.9-system-09272012.tar and eh03_full_odin.tar) both of them give the same error message which says Unnamed File was not found...I totally lost now I just don't know what else to do.
Please help if you can...Thank you!
To bypass activation screen, go to emergency call, press *#83786633.
Then press the home key and it should bypass it. I think you need to do this after every reboot.

I got passed the Activation screen, now what to do about the Odin I tried to flash the phone using the Odin Multi Downloader v4.43
and I used those two ROM images I tried several of them(geewiz-2.9-system-09272012.tar and eh03_full_odin.tar)
both of them give the same error message which says Unnamed File was not found...am I using the right downloader? what is it giving me this error message? do you know a better way?
Thanks!
Is there a difference between Odin Multi Downloader and regular Odin? Why don't you try Odin 1.85 and see if that works. I'm a noobie too so I'm not sure if I can help.

That would be a quick fix if I could get to the dialpad, the screen is black with picture of a phone, yellow sign and computer because I was in the middle of imaging the phone when it failed the process thats all it has every time I turn it on and nothing else. I try to use different USB cable in different computers and no luck and none of those systems would detect the phone. My question was if there is a way to use the SD card to do the reimage instead of the USB and if there it is not, this phone will be absolute and I'm sure you gurus in here have a way to fix my problem.
Thank you!
Pull the battery
hold down volume down button
plug in usb cable
that should put you in download mode

[Q]

Hello Admin,
28 hours earlier I was a complete noob for using Samsung S III. I had connected my device to laptop for upgrading using KIES. Everything was going on normal and my laptop went in sleep mode. When I checked in so it stated that an error has occurred and firmware upgrade failed. And further told to upgrade using recovery mode. Since then I have been trying to enter in recovery mode. Have tried all the given options of entering in Recovery Mode but not successful till now.
It goes in Download Mode and no response nothing happens even if I keep it the same way for 7 hours.
In Download mode screen displays the information below.
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS OFFICIAL
Using Kies is the same issue. There's no response even after hours.
Downloaded a 724 MB zip file for ODIN flash and tried that but even then same.
Only one screen: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again
I just need my Phone Contact Numbers. I am ready to reset the to factory settings if I can get those.
Had been trying to solve it since then. Have searched every site every possible forum. Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Open kies.
On the Taskbar select tools and then firmware upgrade and initialisation.
Enter the model name in caps. Ie GT-I9300 and hit ok.
Then enter the serial number written under the battery.
Then do as it says on the pc screen and put your phone in download mode.
Then Flash.

[Q] HTC Wildfire Bootloader problem

Hello.
I'm not completely sure what happened, but my phone ran out of battery last night, and so after charging it this morning I tried to power it up, and was met by the following.
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.01.0002

<VOL DOWN> to next item
<POWER> to select item
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT

POWER DOWN
However, my phone is not responding to any of the buttons, and I can't get past this page.
can anyone help me pass this?
I seems like that there is a chance that you have no rom on your phone anymore. Something similar happened to me and my phone would only boot in hboot because there was no rom to boot into. Can you get it recognized by your computer.

When I connect it to the usb, it says "FASTBOOT USB", and it comes up as a removable drive on the computer, but I can't access it after that.

Can you use fastboot on pc to see the device. To do so go to the folder you have adb and fastboot in and open it up in a command prompt then type fastboot devices while your phone is plugged in. If you see a bunch of numbers and letters and it says device then come back and reply to the thread. I probably won't answer for about another 8 hours as I am going to bed now. When I get up I will try and continue to help you.
Good night

Thank you loads, I am trying it now and I shall let you know what happens. Thank you so much.
Hey.
I have the programs installed, however have never had to use them before. I have watched several videos on what to do with this program but I keep getting stuck and confused. I have opened the command window and after trying to search I can not find the device on there. One tutorial I have been watching has got me so far, but I am stuck on it after that point. I've included a screenshot of what I've managed to get so far, any help would be greatly appreciated.
So when you type fastboot also type the word devices. Fastboot devices should show your phone if it is connected if so then we can go from there.

Yeah sure that okay. Well now that it seems that your phone is being recongnized by the computer. Okay now just tell me if your hardware buttons work at all when you are in hboot.
no, my hardware buttons don't work at all, I can't do anything on the phone to change the original screen.
So the power button doesn't work either.

Seeing that your fastboot seems to work try relocking your bootloader through fastboot and download the ruu for your phone with the corresponding carrier from androidfiles ruu. Remember to select buzz if this doesn't work please report back.

Reviving a dead L9

Hello,
I've read numerous times about people being able to restore their dead bricked phones. No button combination will get my LG Optimus L9 P769 (T-mobile) to turn on. I think bricked it while trying to complete a carrier unlock. I understand that I can try to restore my phone through either fastboot or kdz. For fastboot, I was able to install the omap driver, but you know how I'm supposed to install a second driver? Well, I can't seem to do that. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I would love an explanation of how to install the driver a second time. I know I'm doing something wrong, because when I use the fastboot script to flash the xloader and uboat, I just get "waiting for device." Also, if I want to flash a kdz, do I need fastboot drivers? I feel like my success depends on installing the fastboot drivers properly, but my computer and two others would not let me do that.
I'm really new to this stuff, so any help is appreciated! Also, please excuse me if I'm using the terminology incorrectly. Like I said, I'm new to all this.
Thank you in advance!
To install a kdz, you need to be in upgrade mode. Hold the volume up button then connect it to the computer.

Hello, I can't get into fastboot. It may be that the phone battery does not have a charge and so the fastboot script does not recognize it when I insert it into the phone after 4 seconds. Could that be a possibility? Because I tried everything, tried many different timings many times, to no avail!

I was just in the same boat as you and pretty much gave up hope but finally got fastboot working and flashed ics x and u and bam it worked like a charm on offline flash method. You just have to pit usb cable in phone w/o battery in and go to device manager. When you see it popup under other devices right click and press install driver. Make sure you have electronic signatures disabled or it will give a error and not install. This is what prevented me from getting it to work the first 100 times! Now run CMD. TYPE CD C:/FASTBOOT < OR C:/ W/E FOLDER NAME IT IS. THEN RUN START.BAT. < OR W/E THE .BAT FILE INSIDE YOUR FILE IS NAMED. Now press enter. It should prompt to plug in phone. I put my battery in as soon as plugged in and it worked. Now Choose option 5. Let it do its thing. Now go reinstall driver as done before to be safe. Then remove your battery. Hold volume + button and plug usb in. S/W upgrade mode should come up. Slide your battery in and proceed to the offline flash method to flash you kdz file. Should be alive again! Mine was tricky going into sw upgrade mode. Sometimes it came right up then sometimes it took 4 or 5 tries so dont give up! Goodluck and you can do it! I almost gave up I felt so hopeless about getting it to work then it finally worked like a charm!

I have a question, can a computer detect the phone with the battery in it? Like the omap4430 usb device? Because for me, the computer detects it whether the battery is in or not... both ways.

Yes it will detect it. However you need to install the omap in two different locations for it to work.

The problem is, I can't install the driver in the second location because it doesn't come up in device manager.. I was thinking maybe there's a problem with the battery, like it doesn't have a charge or something. Because when I run fastboot it doesn't detect the battery no matter what timing I used. I tried everything. If I use the old fastboot script and I get to "fastboot? y or N" and I enter y, it keeps asking the same question.

Yes, i've read that post (I think I've read everything on xda related to fastboot!) I don't get an inverted fastboot on the phone's screen. My phone doesn't turn on at all.. Like I said, I'm still struggling to get into fastboot.
Could be a problem with the battery? I'm going to get an external battery charger and try charging the battery.

How did your device get in this state? Depending on what happened your device may not be fixable.

It died after I plugged it into the computer. I never rooted it and has the stock software. Before dying I also carrier-unlocked it using a cheap code from ebay.

[Q] Root failed - I can't do anything anymore

Hello,
today, I tried to root my S6 Edge but failed completely. On top of that, I was dumb enough to just close Odin, so I can't tell you what it said. I also forgot to enable USB debugging and disable verify app (to be honest I just couldn't find this on my device).
My problem:
My device only shows the "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software". This is all it will do. I can't go back in download mode nor am I able to switch it off.
Part 2 of my problem is, that Smart Switch tells me, that my phone is not supported. I did a backup of my data before trying to root my device and at that time everything worked perfectly fine.
I hope you can help me despite the lack of clear information.
Thank you so far,
enya

Try to press and hold the power button until the device turns off then go to download mode to flash back to stock.

Thank you so far! But now I have another problem: My phone doesn't start properly. It tries to start, shows the "Galaxy S6 Edge"-thing and then the Samsung-logo, but at that point it stops and starts again with the "Galaxy S6 Edge"-Screen. Do have a solution for that as well?
Okay, I think, I fixed this. My device seems to work normally again. Thanks a million, man!

Hi, I have S6 Edge (SM-G925I). I have mistakenly bricked my device. It is running on Android 5.1.1. I tried rooting my device with CF-Auto Root. and since then i had this error on on the top left corner of my boot screen it is written in red and it says "Recovery is not seanandroid enforcing". i was really annoyed by this and tried to get back to my Stock ROM via Smart Switch. Unfortunately it failed. since then i am not able to enter recovery mode. Every time I try by pressing the 3 buttons, it shows up on a Cyan screen with this written "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software". following that whenever i run Smart Switch it says that my device is not supported. I went through many sites over the internet however none solved my problems. i'm desperate for help. Please help me

I tried that, but I always end up getting an error on Odin. It says FAIL. I spent hours downloading the correct Roms for my phone that is the G925I ROM from many different sites. All of them ended up with a big FAIL.
