Feel free to add to this or take it over. This is just temporary till a developer takes over this thread.
Don't post problems, ideas, or anything else on the other thread as it will do no good for their version of note 2. Post all your stuff here so we can get this bad boy rolling.
Thanks

I made some changes to make itba little more convenient. Please. Post progress thx.

Great work guy's! Step one accomplished!

Thank you very much! That worked like a charm.

I couldn't get it to see the phone, might have been impatient or missed a step. Should the phone be in download mode? Or just on?
I used Simplelife's method, with odin, and that worked like a charm.
I truly am thankful for the work everyone did to figure this out in such a short amount of time.

Friendly reminder: "How to root" threads don't belong into a development board - unless it's a exploit, you yourself, coded from ground-up.
Please watch WHERE you post.

Worked awesome on my T-mobile Galaxy Note II - Thanks for sharing! :good:

can somebody please provide a link to the drivers? I can't find them anywhere and I don't want to install Kies... thanks

Works like a Charm. Thanks a lot. I love the original ROM, just needed root access.

This thread is being closed not because of any wrong doing, just for the fact that the Toolkit supports kernel rooting and full support for TMobile models now *HERE* so there is no need for this thread anymore.
Also the link in the first post is for V1.0.0 which is out dated and as this will probably be updated a few times in the next few days to add new devices its best for people to download directly from the thread to get the latest version.
Thanks for providing the info to your fellow users

[Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT] Drivers, Backup, Root, CWM, EFS, Flash to Stock -SOON FOR i317

As many are wondering, I'm posting this link in advance. The OP stated he will place a thread on the AT&T forum, but many here cannot wait for this good info.
Find it on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957155
I understand it now is supporting ATT (SGH-L317) & ROGERS (SGH-L317M)
All credit to mskip :good:
Please thank him on his OP!
<<EDIT>> THIS TOOL IS NOT READY FOR i317. i317/i317m version will be supported on Tool v2.3.1 <<< This has not yet been posted in the OP.

Says AT&T version is only available in the latest (2.3.1) version but the OP only has 2.0 and autoupdate doesn't work unless I donate I guess.

2.3.1 allows for return to stock ROM?

2.3.1 is the recovery

Anyone else having trouble with mskip's donate page via paypal. It won't let me enter anything but an UK address. I was hoping to update and try out his toolkit, but it doesn't seem like it will happen.

I'm not trying to be an ass hat but this thread shouldn't be here yet since it doesn't really support our devices until mskip updates his toolkit!! someone miss-read and tried using the toolkit on their SGH-i317m note 2 and soft bricked their phone, now he has to wait for an official firmware release by Samsung

I do agree with you Turilo. At the same time, people do need to read the OP message. He does state that i317 is only supported in v. 3.1.2 and you need to be a donator with auto-update to currently get this support. Also, if you load up the program in v. 2.0.0 there is no mention of model # i317, and it warns you to not try flashing files intended for other device models.
I feel sorry for them, but we all have to learn this valuable lesson some time in our modding career. Always read the OP notes.
That being said, it probably would be best this thread is closed until mskip posts his updated version on our forum. Its best not to mess with the benevolence of the kernel/bootloader devs. They are few and far between, and we need them.

[NOW PUBLIC] Team Codefire Presents: Project FreeGee for Bell, Rogers and Telus

We now have working exploit for out Canadian friends .
We are publicly releasing Bells, Rogers and Telus. This is the same 0.5v that removes LG Security.
Further details can be read in thecubed's post here.
Due to the nature of the varients make sure you download the correct file!
Bell:
http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/optimusg/bell/private/freegee/FreeGee-0.5_Bell.zip
Rogers:

Currently, the download is Windows-only. I will make a OSX/Linux/Windows version soon
Also Bell, Telus and Rogers are now supported by the 1 click freegee app! This is $1, and the pc method will always remain free. This is just for those lazy and want to donate .
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee

Worked perfectly! Thanks again to Team Codefire for high levels of awesomeness.
Now bring on the roms! lol

Thank you! :highfive:
EDIT: I'm wondering if someone made this flashable, we (bell, rogers) would be able to flash the BASE ROM from the att forum and then flash this since at this time we don't have a rom that's flashable yet..

Does the Rogers version have a lot of bloatware on it? I remember my Samsung Captivate having about 3 or 4 Rogers apps put on it/

around 4-6 for rogers then theres the lg crapware

If it disables LG Security does that mean we can safely uninstall google apps like movies and books?

Im just trying to make sure I have all my ducks in a row here, so I appologize if this is a redundant question. Which recovery are we supposed to use?? In the Sprint development forum there is a tethered version of CMW. Do we use that?? Or, is there something included in the FreeGee exploit? Or even still, do we just use the stock recovery?

Freegee includes CWM. Once it's done you can boot into the bootloader and get to cwm, or use adb and reboot into recovery that way (easier, because we can't see what we're selecting in the bootloader at the moment, vol down twice then power gets you there )

Just so I am clear you arent able to see the fastboot options because of LG's doing right? Not because of the exploit made here? Or was it because of the exploit and that was just an unfortunate side effect of doing it this way that would be fixable in a future update?

Nothing lg related. I believe it is just a trivial side effect and they rather release a version as quick as.possible and put focus on.more important stuff than target irrelevant images

what about f180l

savages ininksh
Awesome! Can't wait for the custom roms coming, especially if it fixes the battery issue!

I rooted and unlocked without any issues. However, when I enter CMW and attempt to make a nandroid backup of the original Rom it says "Can't mount unlock path". I've never run into this before. Do I need to mount something in the Mounts & Storage?

[Q] ZTE Supreme

So i was checking out the virgin mobile website the other day and i stumbled on this:
http://www.virginmobileusa.com/shop/cell-phones/supreme-phone/features/
what do you guys think about it, especially since its made by ZTE?
Alright so two new phones, moto g and desire 4g lte out, the desire for vm. Anyone have anythoughts?

yea thats a real big problem, very few phones from vm have development on them

ZTE is a company pretty much in the pocket of virgin mobile usa in the sense that they lock their devices boot system up so roming is a complete nightmare. check out the other zte branded devices by vm and youll notice outside of root..nothing has occured on those devices. and not for a lack of trying. the same goes with vm's kyocera branded devices. take a look at vm's dwindling line up of other manufacturers versus these "no brand" devices..most of them are zte or kyocera...avoid.

Root method?

Root for now. Might be all there will be. ZTE devices from virgin are notorious for protected boot...unless a damn good developer like jcase or someone that capable buys or has it donated,dont expect even a recovery for it.

Yeah I doubt any roms or recoveries will come out... I'm trying to mess with the WiFi tethering just haven't had any time...

Just got this too. Amazing phone for the price. Did you guys do the full root (part a) or partial root (part b), and which kernel did you have success with? Hopefully we can rom it later but just root access would be great to tether and root apps. Thanks for your help.

Literally just download that zip file and run it... do not do the kernel. This is only a root... I'm testing recoveries now...
As for the phone... it is wonderful! Just as fast as an sIII but much better pics and web browsing (and no touchwiz!!!). Its no s4 or htc one, but it is one great phone... only thing- touch buttons sometimes do not work well, especially with a case, but it will get better with more use...

Rooting
The software posted here worked perfectly. Just make sure you have the USB connection set to "connect to PC software" for it to work - otherwise the program just sits there.
Hooray for adblock!

Boot sound
Now with root I was able to remove the horribly annoying Virgin Mobile boot sound - it's located in system/etc -> Bootsound_virgin.ogg - I just added bak to it. Now quiet boot!

Rooted!!! So fast an easy glad I didn't buy another HTC

[TOOL] HTC One 2014 (M8) All-In-One Toolkit V12 [4-19-2014] [PERM ROOT]

I'm going to maintain only one thread (universal thread), since its easier to manage. My toolkit supports this model. Download links and info are in the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699065

V1.0.1 Released! 4-8-2014
- Added Support for Sprint (Use ClockWorkMod for the recovery)
- Clarified some steps to make it easier to understand
- Fixed some grammar errors
Download is in Post 2.

V2.0 Released! 4-19-2014
- Added Philz CWM for GSM models
- Updated TWRP to official builds for Sprint/GSM variants
- Added a few S-Off commands for those who have S-Off
- Cleaned the code up a little bit

Nice!
Thanks for bringing your awesome work to this model! I used your toolkit on my old incredible 4g. I will be checking this out next weekend when I have a day off. Strong work, you're a solid dev :good:

I tried that before. Didn't work out so well. Every build needs a specific stock recovery. That's too much to deal with, especially supporting every model of the M8

im on windows 8 and when I install the drivers I get an error drivers not compatible. then I reinstall and get no error but I get another error device not found.

I am running 64-bit windows 8.1 and the htc drivers don't install correctly, i get the error, "the driver installer is not supported for this operating system."
i googled for 64 bit version in case this one from toolkit is 32 bit but no luck.

Does anyone have a stock boot.img for 1.57 or flashable zip of the kernel?

I just bought my m8 on Friday, it came fully updated. Does this toolkit support me still?

Hellow Peep's it's been awhile since I owned an HTC but I found a deal on an M8 I couldn't pass up , my question is will this toolkir work on the latest update ,that is 4.4.4 ? Just rather be safe then sorry ......Thank's in advance for help , Much Thank's to the op , ive used toolkits like this on my N7 and N6 look's the same anyway Monday suck's let's just hope we all get threw it in one piece ............THank's JIm
