I have spent the past hour or so attempting to unsuccessfully install the Samsung drivers (can't use ODIN without them). I am running Windows 7 in Virtual box on a Mac and cannot for the life of me get it to even install the drivers correctly.
I am able to detect the USB without any issues and I have attempted to install using Kies and the driver only and every time I get the driver did not install properly error.
Has anyone had any luck with this setup? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, same here.
Well no luck with Virtual box. I just used a Windows machine at work without any issues.

ill see if heimdall can work on the gnote if it does ill support it .
I fired up heimdall on my Mac and it recognizes it but if I simply try the close PC button which should just reboot the phone it says claiming interface failed or something like that, and doesn't work.
I checked the heimdall thread and apparently the newer phones aren't supported due to a different bootloader. The thread also says Benjamin Dobel "creator" might try to update heimdall because he recently got an sgsII. let's just wait and see.

Ok, if he upgrades, sweet. Thanks for the info. So there is no way to root/flash on OSX as yet?

Any word? Still waiting. . .
I'd like to know this as well...
Any info on SGH-i717 support of Gnote?
Ok. Will there ever be a way to root the AT&T Note via Mac? Keep in mind, I am refering to pure OSX, not running Windows underneath. If not what are the obstacles? Anyone willing to join me in donating to this cause?

Just download Odin on a friends PC and root
shouldnt take no more than 10 mins
then im prety sure you can just DL roms on your mac and transfer them and
flash away
I finally gave up waiting for a OSX rooting process. Finally just went the bootcamp route.

I haven't tried this but would "DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit" work on the Note.
Yes, this is a general title, but they only allow me to put so much. I am new to the forum, so please bear with me.
Here's the problem: I connect my phone to my computer and either the driver fails (Samsung USB Composite or MTP) or my computer (finally) recognizes my phone, installs drivers correctly, but when I go to look for files, nothing shows up.
What I've done:
-I'm using the original USB cable that came with my phone and it charges fine
-I've plugged it into all available USB ports
-I've restarted the phone numerous times, taken out the SD card and the SIM card with no luck
-I've uninstalled the Samsung drivers and done the same
-I'm running stock ROM, even flash reset a couple times with the same problem
-I'm running the latest software from Verizon
-I've tried switching USB debugging on and off, only gives me further errors such as that the phone can't recognize the system I'm running with my computer being unable to install the drivers correctly
I have a hunch that the Micro USB input from the phone may be to blame, but I'd like to get an opinion from the forum before I decide to send it to the store to get it replaced or fixed. It also could be just a bad ROM flash, but again I'd like to get an opinion before I absolutely have to do so.
EDIT: I apologize, I'm running Windows 7 by the way.
i am going though this right now too. I just stopped working tonight worked for the past 3 days
When mtp is the problem I've yet to find and answer. It's something to do with your computer I just can't recall right now. I researched it once because I had a that sane problem. Never did fix it. If they are both on a wifi network you can use airdroid it works great, that's what I ended up doing.

Good tip! I hadn't considered transferring through bluetooth or WiFi yet. I'll look into it, but I would still like to have a fix for the USB.

It could just be the latest firmware. It's still a new phone, and I'm sure Samsung/Verizon haven't fixed all the bugs yet. What OS do you run? I run W7, but it's dual booted on my iMac, and the Mac side doesn't work either.

It's not the phone. The computer I had the problem with had this with my s3 and note. If you Google the failing at mtp is a known problem.

Noted. Not really much I can do to fix it, then. I don't mind. The only thing I really do with USB connection is transfer files anyway, so Airdroid works just fine.

I took my phone back and got another one and now I can't even root. I called Samsung and they didn't help much. I am gonna reinstall windows and try that. I build apps with eclipse and I need my phone to recognize my pc for debugging and such. This is a high end device this is kinda bs.

On my s3i had this issue also on w7 and w8. So I would just not to recovery and transfer files, but that does not help those that are not rooted.
Currently my pc boots win8 and Linux, so I just use Linux when it comes to doing anything with my devices.

Hey guys. I posted in the Jailbreak thread but didn't get any response. I need help unlocking my bootloader. Here is where I'm at:
My Windows Vista PC sees my phone and Android ADB. The Galaxy Note Toolkit sees my phone. Casual does not. It just sits at "disconnected" and won't let me do anything.
I have disabled every pierce of AV and MSE. I tried every USB port. I have rebooted both phone and PC in varying combinations.
I am a n00b to the GN2 but I'm quite experienced in modding. I am just having problems getting Casual to work.
Please help?
Did you try with another cable?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Try unplugging all your USB devices and using a different cable. When using casual I had to uninstall the Sammy mobile device drivers for it to work.

Did that. I tried 2 different Samsung data cables, still nothing. Even did a factory reset since my PC once had an error that my Android ID was missing and I can't check for software updates, thought maybe something went weird with the phone setup. Still nothing.
So I know the drivers are there, I know the data cables are good and I know the ports are working. All AV is shut down. Where is the roadblock here?
On a related note: When I tried to use the connection help on Kies, Kies told me my device wasn't supported. Could that be a part of what I'm running into?
Since VZW has to have their hands in every aspect of things they locked the use of kies. I haven't found a way to get it to work yet. Don't remember if kies air works but that wouldn't help the issue.
This is confusing, the next thing I would try is flashing stock with the .pit file and trying again. Or it could be a java issue since the CASUAL exploit is written in java, that seems more likely to me. In Adam Outlers thread for CASUAL he linked a java checker. Try that and make sure your good with java

good call.
sounds like a java issue as previously mentioned.
Same thing.
Java is latest version. My phone shows up just fine for windows.
Is there an Odin option? I'm very familiar and comfortable with Odin

What about this:
When I connect my phone to the PC, it initially shows up as an installer. I then have to go in to change it to a MTP device.
Could that be causing this somehow?
It could be. Make it a media device and retry everything. If that doesn't work then find the bay where pirates hangout and get win7 on your computer and retry it. I've only ever rooted on win 7 and win 8

I had this problem too. I had to unlock the hidden menu and set the phone as MTP + ADB to get CASUAL to properly recognize it.
Have you ever disabled your Internet connection and click "do it". See if it does anything.
Mine had the same issue as you.

You can't. You could use bootcamp and do it, but since you need ODIN (and it only works on windows), your best option is to just use a windows pc.
And yeah, there are programs like heimdall for mac, but I've tried it and it fails when it tries to get the PIT file (partition map).
Ahh man this sucks

I have used heimdall before and it is such a pain. If you have access to a windows pc you will be better off and much easier interface, in my opinion.
