New to the tbolt and lovin it. I've looked around and am sure the answer is no, but..... Im not gonna have access to a computer that I can use to root for awhile, any ways that I can possibly root this beast with out a computer? Software is version 2116059.
First you need to downgrade anyway and the link that used to be on here is no longer showing up. But

Unless you're comfortable with using adb, know how to find or compile adb for ARM CPUs and have a tablet or device that allows usb host mode, then you're going to need a computer. As you need a computer to actually attempt to do that and cross compiling is a pain, that will likely not be an option.
Honestly, I wouldn't even bother doing that myself. Just a pain in the ass when it takes like 10 minutes to do on a PC without that versus some hours and a prayer.
Also you dont need to install anything to use adb on a PC, just the files for it. You could do this on a internet cafe pc, a friend's or a school computer. I mean if you can't find a computer through some means with given that, then I hope you're currently working for the Peace Corps in Sub-Saharan Africa and there's no electricity or phone lines.

Yeah you should be able to just grab adb from some random post on xda and run it and you'll be all set for what you need to root the manual way by downgrading and such. No install needed on the pc as long as you have a pc that runs windows, osx or linux. Just stick it on a usb stick or something and run. If you have issues, just post here again.
If you're using windows, then this should have everything you need in it to use adb without installing it:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?a3sx25laka08g0n
You'll just need to go to the directory you unzip it from and run adb in it from the command line.

Well, I did it. I messed up my phone (like the other people that I usually laugh at!).
I was updating Simply Honey and during the "rainbow" something got messed up.
My Mac and PC wont recognize my phone (Odin or Heimdall). My phone is in DOWNLOAD mode. I don't think USB DEBUGGING is on.
I cannot get my phone into recovery either.
I have been working on this for a couple days now, but have not found a solution. I am hoping someone can give me some direction.
I attached a screen shot.
Thanks!
I had to download i9000 drivers. When had this prob hem never worked had to use Odin. Drivers can be found if Google i9000 drivers.

turn on odin
attach phone to pc with usb cable
now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.
now you should be in download mode and go back to stock with odin from here!
make sure u put the proper .pit and .pda file in there proper places on odin and ur set to go.
Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers
I got it to work today! You guys were right. I simply needed the proper drivers. I used a better PC today and it actually auto-installed the right drivers when I connected the phone.
Why cant Macs do stuff like that? Oh well.
I started out with stock Froyo-JFD then installed Simply Honey ROM along with the GB bootloader. Its all good now! Thanks for the support and encouragement!
So ive had my galaxy s 2 for a few months now, downloaded hundreds of songs, taken near a thousand photos, and yesterday the digitizer/lcd was shattered after being sat on. I can't replace this phone, and my parents who own the contract didn't purchase insurance for it. I am nearly broke, and the repair costs for this part is over 200$, and my parents refuse to pay for this. All I need to do is copy all of the files from my phone to my computer, but i cannot enable mass storage to access the pictures/music on the internal storage because the screen is out. Does anyone have an idea as to how I could fix this, or move the files off of the phone? A thousand thanks to whoever could help me in this/:

Is Android Debugging on? Then you probably could get ADB to work.
If not, then...
Thats the thing. the screens black on my phone cause its broken, so i cant check if its on or not. idk how to use mass storage w/o this):
Droid VNC server may be an option, if you can somehow get it to work.
You have to download the app on the market to vnc with the computer, it would work if I wouldve already downloaded it.. I cant do anything on my phone at all. Thanks for the attempt though

sure you can, plug it in to your computer and just run adb devices, if it shows up, then debugging is on, if it is off it will tell you no device found
so to pull all the files off your sdcard assuming debugging is on..
1. in adb mount the sdcard (I forget the command off the top of my head, but google is your friend)
2. adb pull /sdcard some_folder_name_in_your_sdk_directory

Assuming I understand this correctly, you can still download apps to your phone by logging in to the market from your computer. This may still be an option.

You could always look around eBay craigslist or anywhere else you can think of and you might get lucky in finding a cheap gs2 that doesn't work but the screen is still intact or maybe if you know anyone that maybe willing to let you borrow their screen from their phone for yours if you know how to. I just haven't pulled apart any phones since I came
To the US in 2002 so I'm not sure if its still that simple to do.
I haven't tried it yet so some of the others may be able to chime in but what about the possibility of using the HDMI adapter. I have looked at purchasing one and they are not very expencive depending on the source. I just do not know if it will automatically output the video when connected or it needs to be enabled.

it automatically works. nothing needs to be enabled
1) If you had USB debugging enabled, you can use ADB. If you're not sure - try it.
2) If you had a custom kernel with CWM installed, you can use ADB from within recovery. Recovery does not normally mount the sdcard but you can do it manually via ADB. I can provide info on this IF you can get ADB connecting first
3) HDMI is another possibility - although controlling the device will be problematic if the touchscreen is also failed. (It's possible that touchscreen is semiworking and main AMOLED is busted.)
For getting ADB installed and running, try Droid Explorer.
Been there done that.
Unfortunately, it'll cost some money to do a diy fix with this phone.
Last summer I dropped my htc aria onto gravel and the glass shattered. I googled around and found an oem digitizer for 30 bucks on ebay, and some great how-to-tear-apart your phone videos on youtube. 5 hours and multiple clumps of hair ripped out later, I got the thing fixed. Granted the light from the soft keys now bleeds onto the screen (thankfully CM7 let me disable them) and the trackpad became recessed in too far to use. But it still got me through until I got my SGS2.
Only thing is, my lcd still worked, it was just the glass digitizer that broke.

This is probably your best bet if adb doesn't work.
I have CWM flashed, but I cant tell if im in recovery after holding down the buttons. And im not sure how to view the pictures after i take them in the mode..
You should be able to plug it in to your computer and MTP should connected automatically allowing you to copy your files
I have spent a better part of today trying to find out what Im doing wrong. Im going to make a long story short as possible. When I plug my phone in I dont see my sd card or any storage. I only see 2 files with windows explorer. Do I need to uncheck debugging? I know this has to be simple but I cant find an answer anywhere. After about 8 hours of searching this forum, yahoo and some other places. I was burned out. Going to get off here again. Stressed out doesnt help my situation. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide. Ok flame away!!!
we need just a little more info.
What ROM are you on. Have you installed kies on your computer.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
If you are running the ICS TouchWiz build you need to turn on USB storage. Settings > more (under wireless and networks) > USB utilities.
That works for me. My home computer will see my phone as an MTP device, after it installed drivers, and as USB storage using the above. My work computer will only work if I enable USB storage.
If you aren't using the ICS TW ROMs then we need more information.
And one final thing: search before posting n00b

Thanks for answering me. Still searching and reading. Im not on any rom. Just stock. Been trying to flash a couple. I have them loaded and ready to go. Just cant figure out how to get them on my sd card. Its a little hard when I cant even find it. LOL!! BTW I hate windows 7. Anyway Im off to do some more reading and get even more stressed out! Here I thought to myself I have this all figured out! Yea right!! Just a little set back. I was on 2.3.6. Flashed back with Entropy's one click to get me back to 2.3.4. Still having trouble with wifi. But I think its where Im at. Ill wait till Im home tomorrow and try it all over again.Yes Im a noob!! But hey we all started that way!! Ill be banging my head on the wall if I dont get this figured out!! Its really bugging me.
Yes I have Kies installed.
Could you download them directly on the phone? That's what I do, so I don't have to mess with cables. I use dolphin browser when the stock browser doesn't want to download the files.

So you said you successfully flashed back to 2.3.4, just cannot get any storage displayed when plugging into your PC running W7?
a. before plug in, can you check your phone under Settings/Storage to see if SD_card or USB storage displayed.
b. Did you install the USB driver into your W7 PC?
c. Did you check to see any USB notification on the status bar of your phone when plugging it into the PC?
Have you tried a different cable? Are you plugging into a hub or straight into the computer? I couldn't get mine to connect through a hub. Needed to be straight to the computer.

I'm trying to run CASUAL on my macbook; it starts up fine, begins to run, and puts my phone into Download mode, then hangs up. The phone never leaves Download mode (with the android logo, says "Downloading...do not turn off target!!"). I've tried both ports on my MB, tried using my OEM cable and my Nexus 7 cable, and I'm at a loss. Do I need to put my phone in ADB mode (voldown+home+power) first, THEN run CASUAL? I've updated Java, rebooted phone and mac, and made sure I'm running the latest mac-enable update for CASUAL.
Any help would be awesome!!

my thoughts also.
If it's getting to Download mode it has to be set to debugging, because it wouldn't get the adb commands to reboot otherwise. I had the same issue on my Kubuntu machine and never found a fix. I ended up doing on on a Win7 laptop instead (because my Win8 desktop was failing too).

good info! i have only used windows 7 so never had that problem.
I am definitely in debugging mode. That was one of the first things I turned on when I got my phone. haha
I'm still getting the hangup. I think Adam said CASUAL for mac is working for some, but others are having the same problem as I am. I just figured I was the only one, since no one posted on the forum about it.
I honestly think there is some dependency somewhere that Heimdall needs that we're not getting...something that's on some machines and not on others, and probably something Adam isn't even aware of. I was using my Kubuntu Linux machine that is specifically built for Android development and it was stopping at exactly the same place as your Mac. It was seeing the device just fine, able to send adb commands to it all day long, but as soon as it went into Download mode, it could no longer communicate. If you figure out the issue, I'd love to know what it is. I didn't spend much time on it since I had alternatives.
Yea I'm just waiting to hear any word from Adam on a fix. He confirmed to me that it does work on some macs, and not on others. I, apparently, am in the "others" category. haha Wish I was lucky enough to have a Windows PC layin around. The only computer I have is my mac, and it's the only thing I have for work and personal, so if something goes screwy (like a VM or Bootcamp installation), I'm effed. lol
Guess I'll just have to wait till someone figures it out.

Okay so I installed Windows 7 ultimate 32-bit in VirtualBox on my mac, got it up and running, got the latest Java update installed, installed CASUAL and got IT updated, now I can't get VB and Windows to recognize my phone. I've tried to install the latest drivers direct from the Samsung website, but they don't install (little popup in the taskbar tells me so...). At this point I'm ready to download Ubuntu and run that in VB. This whole thing reminded me why I hate Windows. hahaha
Any confirmation that CASUAL runs correctly in the latest Ubuntu build?
Plenty of people have gotten it to work. I didn't, but others have. I recommend a LiveCD instead of a VirtualBox. No weird VM issues that way.
Help needed
Was trying to jailbreak GN2 using Casual but my phone is stuck in the download mode and says,"do not turn off target" HELP!!!
that CASUAL does not work. Oh wait, let me guess, I don't have the right (1 of how many different ones suggested) usb driver, right? And I'm not in ADB, right? And I haven't tried different cables, and ports, and CADI on its own, and zadig, and usbdeview, and pulling the battery when it stalls in download mode (when CASUAL was still recognizing the phone, now neither CASUAL nor ODIN connect to it)? Sorry for the sarcasm, but I'm incredibly frustrated here. How does "one click" turn into a week of trying and trying and trying, and not only not making progress, but seemingly moving backwards where now I can't even get programs to connect? Is there something less messy, contradictory (seriously, the dev thread says "stock anything" but when trying the battery pull and reboot it goes off on me: OMFG WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? I WARNED YOU! YOU NEED TO ROOT FIRST.) way to unlock? Or a more concise thread of troubleshooting CASUAL (And please, I don't need a link to the same dev thread I just referenced, again.)?
Well I guess the rest of us that followed Adam's thread and were easily unlocked and loading ROMs daily are magicians or something?
Try a different USB port and a different computer. I could not get it to work at all on one PC in Windows or Linux, but it worked first try as soon as I tried it on my laptop.

How does "one click" turn into a week of trying and trying and trying, and not only not making progress, but seemingly moving backwards where now I can't even get programs to connect? Is there something less messy, contradictory (seriously, the dev thread says "stock anything" but when trying the battery pull and reboot it goes off on me: OMFG WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? I WARNED YOU! YOU NEED TO ROOT FIRST.) way to unlock? Or a more concise thread of troubleshooting CASUAL (And please, I don't need a link to the same dev thread I just referenced, again.)?

that's the best line I've heard today.
If you go the Linux route, just be sure to update the lib files, as stated in the casual thread. Linux worked perfectly for me, and I am a complete noob at this stuff.

definitely having the same problem, my solution: going to reinstall Windows 7 and see if that fixes my problems. if that doesn't then I'll just install a Linux distro on my computer and install java and see if i can get it to run that way. if anything I'll try it on another laptop running Windows xp or another till i get this **** to work. it honestly can't be that hard to unlock the note 2. maybe I'll try to root first and then try to unlock.. idk but i have faith in Adam and the other devs who've helped him and tested for him. I'll get it to work or die trying, because Verizon deserves that middle finger, big time.
anyway good luck on your journey!

Yep ive been through this to and finnally got it to work on my moms laptop. Our desktop is the only one I can use odin on and my moms laptop is the only one I can use casual on. When I have some spare time (or feel like it lol) im gonna try loading up a fresh install on windows 7 on 1 of my spare hard drives and see what happens from there. But for now im not really woried about it, just gonna roll with the flow.

that CASUAL does not work. Oh wait, let me guess, I don't have the right (1 of how many different ones suggested) usb driver, right? And I'm not in ADB, right?

I feel your pain but hang in there and keep trying. It took me 3 days and several hours to find the right combination that finally worked. If you follow the dev thread for a few days, you'll see that most everyone having problems eventually gets it to work through a combination of trial and error and support from the devs.
If you haven't already, try the driver suggestions in the last several pages of the dev thread. This seems to be helping quite a few others. Another thing to try is running the Casual jar file from an admin command prompt instead of double clicking the file. This worked for me.
