I was finally going to root last night but Odin doesn't see my device. I had no problems with using Odin in the past with my infuse so i figured the note would be no different. I have keis installed from before, but not sure if it needs updating or whatever...

OK, when i get home I'm just going to start all over. A while back before my note even came in i was preparing my PC with everything I'd need for root etc, i was reading the root page and it said to install Odin (which i already had but i installed it anyway thinking it was a nwer version) it than said to get drivers HERE, i clicked the link but it just brought me to Samsung home page...i searched all over for the drivers but couldnt find them, i figured i didn't need them anyways since my infuse worked fine with Odin but now my note isn't recognized so maybe i do need the drivers...where are they??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
No one link me where or how to get the proper drivers so i can root. The link i see in the dev section brings me to Samsung page but where do i find the drivers?

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.

Any info on SGH-i717 support of Gnote?
Hello all,
I am the proud new owner (first time android owner as well) of a Galaxy S3 SGH-1747, and I am still learning the ins and outs of the phone but so far I am loving this thing.
However, I did run into some issues when I did an install of a ROM AOKP Task & KToonsez ROM. The first major problem is that my computer will now not read my phone, whereas before it was able to register it. I know I have the correct drivers installed and I have the android usb debugging thing box checked in my settings. I have tried several different USB ports now thinking it might be that but they all do not read it. As smooth as this ROM is, it is still in the early stages and there are a lot of bugs and kinks that need to be worked out still so I would like to either switch back to the stock ROM or aim for a more stable one. I am not sure how I can do either of this without a copy of the original touchwiz ROM on there.
Please help me figure this problem out lol.
Flash your nandroid. I'm sure you made one like you're supposed to.

When you're back to stock....do yourself a favor...MAKE A BACKUP.

I did not make a back up
But ever since I installed this ROM my computer stopped reading my phone, it won't even show up on kies either. I am trying right now a factory reset and wipe but it just keeps going back to the same rom.

A factory reset won't make your phone stock man...you need to Odin the stock ROM ...(link I provided) back to your phone.

Ok, one last stupid question for you though. How would I be able to do this if my computer is not reading my phone? I have Odin installed and all that jazz but the phone will not register on the computer. Will Odin still read it even though it's not showing up under my computer?

you being a n00b should really not be flashing right now, as people are losing IMEI's left and right. if i were you id sit right where you are for the time being. play it safe broseph, we wouldn't want your first foray on android to end badly :highfive:
I'm not flashing roms on my s3 yet so I'm not positive but doesn't aosp roms take the Google drivers, not the Samsung ones? I know with the captivate on cm9 I had to install them.

So, I forgot last night.. you ever done that? I had been bouncing my 9week old daughter for a while and at 12:30am I finally got her to go to sleep. I was playing with my phone... I opened GooManager, and told it to install T.W.R.P. on my Galaxy Note 2 (i605 Verizon Wireless)
But I didn't realize that i had forgotten to unlock the boot loader after last weekend's Rom-a-thon (I put 5 ROMs on my phone then wen't back to stock, then rooted).
Given that I was not un-locked..... My phone went into the Yellow Caution symbol and told me that I had to go to a VZW store, (lol, yeah right!). So I took my phone to my laptop (Dell E4310) on Win8 x64 Ent, Odin3 v3.07 did not see my phone!!! Then to Win 7 x64 Ent, Dual booted dell... FAIL!!! And then to my MSI GX720 Win 7 x64 Pro, FAIL!!
Ok, time to ask the world! I don't know what else to do. Anyone out there with advice please let me know. If i get a solution I will post the steps below...
I went through all the threads i could find about this idea but not actually speaking to this problem. If you know of a solution in another thread please post it here.
It fails as in doesn't see phone or fail flash? By chance is it sboot it fails at?

It doesn't start to flash because it does not see that i have the device connected, Gets to download mode no issues.
Do you have all the drivers installes? And I know some phones are picky on the cables. So you should be using the factory cable. Aslo try other usb ports.

I do not have the factory cable.. .that disappeared quite a while ago.. I have the drivers installed, and know all of my setup "works" because i am using the same setup i used to do this process the first time, and i have connected this phone to all of my machines with no issues before.
What else?

I am tech support at my job (I work for EarthNetworks/WeatherBug as internal support). I call it MIS proximity, as soon as one of my co-workers breaks down and asks for help their computer starts working... guess i get a taste of that myself today.
Thanks guys for the help.
Wish I could tell the others going to read this that there was a real answer here. But all I did was keep trying different cables/USB ports/restart (oh and hear my gorgeous wife's voice

OK hears the short of it my wife has a vzw note 2 and wants it rooted....and bn the tech geek of the house hold I said challenge accepted...now that is what it has turned into a challenge... I have a gs3 and i rooted it and romed it with relative ease but I am being tested by her device.....I have tried casual and no matter how hard I try I can't make casual see her note and so looked for a alternative and found a cf auto root file....but I know there is a bootloader so I am warry for just going flash happy with that...so I need advice cuz I can't get Adam o or chainfire threads to give me any constructive help. Does anyone have all the cf auto root files and or a good way for me to get my computer to make her note 2 to recognize casual ty for helping this ol'noob out
Firestorm. Make sure you have the right usb drivers for the note 2. The rooting thread in this area is very distinct on this.

Yeah I tried Hers mine and a spare still nothing
Nightlies
I was having a problem with the Casual program working too, but now that I got some sleep and looked again; I see that my AV had one of the files in quarantine. I could not get it to let go either, so I had to turn AV off and redownload casual. Works fine now! Also, not sure what phone you said again, but there are nightlies of casual where you might try other versions of it. The link is in one of these threads where you found casual initially.

ok ill got a crappy acer I will try to see if it has enough power to try something like this
but can u elaborate what pda net is
is there a way to downgrade into vs 4.1.1 so I can do the root 66 method cuz that seems a little easier I didn't see where anyone has addressed the possibility of that
Im not that knowledgeable on the downgrade but pda net is a app that uses your phone data to give you internet on your computer the main reason is that it installs the drivers on your computer with out searching or worrying that is a bad file

What I have: I have a Sprint Note 3. Model number SM-N900P.. It's flashed to some prepaid company called Red Pocket. I went to this company from PrePayd Wireless but Sprint cut them off and even though they PrePayd found out this information on the Feb 14th but they decided not to tell their customers like myself until the minute before Sprint pulled the plug and my number was trashed with no way of getting it back. This lost me a lot of money smh (I apologize for ranting)
What my goal is: I just want to root the phone so that I can flash CWM or TWRP and get CM Kitkat on the device.
What my problem is: I can not get the device root.. I believe this could be because i can not get my device to give me the MTP option.
What have I tried: I've tried using Orin with CF Root and I use Odin with a CWM and a TWRP .tar . I was going to add the SS. All of this resulted in me rooting my phone in recovery and it giving me the dead android guy. Its like it wont stick to the phone.
I tried Kingo Root and one click as well and its saying that. Kingo said its not connected.
One Click Root cant even detect my phone is plugged in.
Kies says its not compatible and it downloads Kies 3.
Kies 3 just sits on a screen that says my phone needs to be in MTP mode.
I have installed the Samsung drivers. I even installed a brand new copy of windows 7 ultimate on a brand new hard drive just so i could start from scratch with the drivers because my other hard drive wouldn't even recognize the phone. This one is recognizing the phone and I re-installed the driver thru Kies and they all installed. I don't know what else to do. Please help.
I apologize if this was on another thread i search kind of hard for this problem before i made a new post

Yes I have unlocked the developer mode and enabled USB debugging. That was one of the first things I did and I have tried it in different variations with the program ie: USB debugging on when the program starts then off and I won't turn it on until the program is on and any other way.

I've already did this as my first initial post suggest. Kingo root won't detect my device. It's only says it's not connected. I have Kies 3 installed as Kies 1 said it was not supported. I have all my drivers installed manually and Kies installed the rest I guess but Kies is only saying that I need to put my phone on MTP which I have no option for. My device is on Stock 4.3
