i believe the Oneclickroot method works. And is decently old.

no.
Also turn on debugging while using this.
All this does is push a SUPERUSER.apk into your files, so you won't even have to reboot, but i suggest you do.
-open the program
-connect phone with debugging on
-click "start" root, you'll see some thigns going on the program, its doing something to your system idk, im not a dev or anythign lol, then it pushes a superuser.apk and then your good to go.
-reboot suggested RIGHT AFTER IT TELLS YOU ITS FINISHED, but not needed.

You're not going to get anything out of this. The APK they are talking about is for the Flash Lite that is already installed on our phones. It runs some Flash, but far from everything. These guys install the APK and go test some random flash game site and say it works -- because they picked a site that already worked before they installed. Then others say it doesn't work, because they test on a site not supported by Flash Lite.
If you want full Flash 10, you need to wait until Froyo. That's all there is to it.

Safest way to fix hwl phone

Hi,
I have a vibrant phone and seems like its HWL (hardware locked),
I want to know what's the safest way to remove this lock ? Odin or update.zip method ? There's another?

That works flawlesly. It used to take me several tries to hit dl or recovery mode, after flashing that fix, I can boot to either with so little effort its ridiculous.

^ awesome man.
If you've gotten the ji6 update, or any ji6 based ROM you should not have any recovery issues. I was HWL on my new vibrant but once the ji6 update came I gained recovery access by holding down the volume keys.
^ I assume you got the ota then?
Those who did odin, kies, etc still have the issue.

Did you even read my post and follow the link?
Yes thanks for the link ! im downloading the files right now and ill try it (*fear*)
Btw, for example if i have installed XXX ROM, and i want to back the phone completly to STOCK (to get mini kies update for example) its that possible ?

What exactly is this? I mean, I get it's a ROM and it's Sense, but what's special about it? I only ask because we've got quite a few Sense ROMs out, just want to know what you've done so far.
testing
trying it out let you know
Thanks for the feed back guy's/girl's. I'll try and solve the issue, but it's quite tricky building a Rom for a device you can't test on. expect another link up later on today.

Well I love that the sense rom development is in full swing but lack of battery and the lag annoys me so very much. and I chose to share my work with a community that can appreciate it. this Rom has been sitting on my pc for some time, I was expecting an upgrade but I'm still waiting and I want to have a flash ready Rom for when I get the device and also after I root it.
@OP - the sideload errors people are getting in your zip is:
1) use edify if you are using amend
2) the update binary needs to be API v3

Not those might be something else. Has any one tried a full wipe and.install?
I did a superwipe and then had the sideload error7 on any and everthing that i tried to flash. I ended up running the stock rom through the bootloader to fix issue then re rooted the phone.

have your tried checking the MD5 or just re-downloading whatever rom you are trying to PUSH? Also check which version of ODIN you have. Like issues with the Charge, Notes seem to have an issue playing with the Odin interface.
All im pushing is the twrp and su for root . I have v4 of odin the newest v

1st are you already rooted. If you are, you should be using recovery to flash new ROM's not Odin.
2nd. Not sure how much this will help, but try Odin 3.07

not rooted. trying root for the first time on this unit. ill look for an older version thanks for trying to help out:good:
First, I'd say ditch the toolkit and do it manually. At least when it fails, you'll have a better idea of where and what was going on. Where is it failing? Is your device recognized by Odin if you try manually? Have you installed drivers for the phone?

should now look for a rooted stock firmware like this http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyNote2/SCH-I605/rooted/root66_VZW_stock_system.tar.zip
im a bit new to this style of rooting. im used to the .zip stuff. im guessing this new way of doing things is because of the bootloader being on lock down?

I'm not sure who posted that one, but that is correct. Have you checked to see if you have a pre-ota rooted stock rom? I would check the android thread about rooting and using odin to make sure there's been no changes. Odin is usually pretty easy to use (ONCE you get it to recognize the correct drivers.)
It is a new phone so I would guess not but ill look and read more. Thanks a lot

Download this, protect root, download update, restore root. You should be okay.
anyone else having issues updating. It downloads the update and then after reboot it has the android with the gears moving and then it shows a brief android with a red triangle on top of him and then it just reboots back to 4.1.1.

If you want root I would play it safe.
verizon / samsung do follow xda and they have been patching holes within their devices. to be safe you should wait for dev to get this file and give you direction.
a day (maybe two) wait will not hurt you! if you jump, it could be month before you get root back.

Actually I was rooted by root66.zip and everything was fine until I got the update. Now My phone is bootlooping on note 2 logo. would not go to recovery at all. It will go to download mode though. Just warning people who are trying to update and have root66,zip flashed.

Uploading to my Dropbox now, but it will be a while. Shows 40 min. left right now.
can anyone tell me. After getting this file downloaded. Is it easy to make .tar file to flash with odin?
Does anyone have the SystemUI.apk by chance? I did the WiFi toggle hack and thought I backed up the file but no dice. I can't upgrade it keeps erroring out on SystemUI.apk.
Has anyone successfully used OTA Root keeper with this new update? I don't want to be the guinea pig! I've never used it for an OTA, just for temp hiding root.
