I've only found 1, but that's designed for Windows USB installs so it gives me an error message. I have no CDs around, so I want to do this with USB.
What program do you guys use?
Everything that helps is greatly appreciated.
Universal USB Boot Installer.
I'm not going to respond exactly to your question, but I have a suggestion for you.
Use VirtualBox virtual machine, as it can boot from ISO image and it's faster and easier than using booting from USB (or CD).

Hello again.
I am trying to do the S-Off Precedure With Alpharev, using the noob proof guide and i am stuck. I have downloaded the Alpharev software and on the guide it says you can either put it on USB or burn it to CD... As i have no blank Cd's I have put it onto a USB, but it doesn't seem to be working??
Can someone please help??
no need to waste a CD or USB stick space, try to use a virtual machine instead, much more easy to use

It depends on whether your computer is able to flash from a USB drive. I also had some issues with it. I eventually just burnt it onto a CD.
i burnt it on CD as well
make sure your PC BOOT SEQUENCE is setup to boot from CD driver first not HDD
my main pc was setup to boot first from CD driver. so i had no issues or setting up to do.

I was trying to boot my laptop from USB, for a different reason, and eventually found the option under HDD as an option, rather than a stand alone option.

Hi,
Did you make it a bootable USB stick ? Try with this: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/. "burn" the image don't just copy it.
Also be careful with your USB device size. I've tried making a 16 Gb stick bootable and it didn't boot. It worked perfectly with a 2 Gb USB stick.
When you computer boots press F2 or F10 (whichever is your boot sequence selector) and select boot from USB.
Good luck !
I've read some people are having trouble with GN2 when connecting it to a PC via a USB cable. I've been having that problem as well.
I've found some suggested solutions, but none worked for me:
Code 10 error device manager
Missing Hardward ID fix
I found a partial solution. It's limited in what is solves. This is good for a user who is looking just to be able the phone USB storage so you can transfer files and what not. This does not give access for ADB. This will get rid of the need to plug and unplug the usb cord, or enable or disable USB debugging or whatever else people need to a bunch of times for the phone to finally be recognized by their machines. This works in Windows 7 64bit; I assume 32 bit. Don't know about Windows 8 (if there is the problem)
Basically, uninstall the Samsung USB drivers. Then just reconnect the GN2 to your PC. Let Windows install it's drivers. You'll see failures for Ssmsung and ADB, but still have access. You'll get the same access with and with USB debugging. Below are pics showing the results of driver installation by Windows, and hardware device properties. If you click the picture, you get see a large image of the screen shot.
Without USB debugging
WIth USB debuggind turned on:
Maybe someone with more knowledge can figure out the rest to complete fix the issue. But I assume for most, this should be sufficient.

Hey....Thanks so much!! It's a good start.
With all of the brilliant developer on these boards, I'm surprised no one has come up with a fix yet. In good time!!!!
I figured most users on here aren't needing to use ADB after rooting, but want to access storage. I tried accessing using ADB, which I have installed on my PC but never use, and it wasn't connecting. I had to look up how to use it. When I asked for listed devices, nothing came up.
If you look at the threads listed, it appears it's a driver issue with Samsungs USB drivers. I figure at some point either Samsung or Microsoft will fix it, more than the developers here. Although, I think they'll probably find a solution faster.
HA! I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've been rebooting my PC to solve the issue. It only happens once in a while. I'll be watching this thread. Thanks
I know this isn't exactly on topic but I've seen this discussed here and other forums as far as "properly" ejecting the Note 2/GS3 from your PC. Some say you just pull the USB, it will not corrupt etc. I just wanted to share that you can eject(windows). Just go to Devices and Printers, you will see SPH-L900 in your list. Right-click and eject. Probably means nothing but figured I'd share for those that feel iffy about just pulling the plug
I just pull my USB. I don't do the whole eject thing. The "having" to do the eject thing basically went out when Windows 7 arrived. I've been doing this method for couple years with Windows 7 for various devices. Never an issue.
And even faster than when you mention, if on WIndows 7, you go to the task bar to the right, there is a triangle that shows all your running background apps. Click that, right click the USB icon. It should be listed. If not, there is a "open devices and printers" which takes to the same place.
So I only have access to a mac and I want to get my One rooted. I have tried creating a Live usb disk with ubuntu on it by following the instructions on Ubuntu. After I put the converted file onto the usb drive, the mac tells me that the inserted device is not recognized. I've tried this 4 times and the result is the same. Also when I restart the mac and hold the alt key I don't get an option for booting from usb. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I only use Mac, I really dislike Windows, but I went the boot camp route to s-off.
Not sure about the boot from USB not working as I have never had a problem with it but here is a page that explains the requirements, hopefully it is helpful

I've somehow managed to hardbrick my D855. I'm assuming that I'll have to use the shortpin method to get it working, but all the guides I've found so far use Windows, and I'm running Linux. I don't really feel like setting up Virtual Box on my crappy laptop, so can anyone help me out with doing this natively in Linux?

As far as i know...You can't unbrick it with Linux. As you would need boarddiag tool which only comes as a windows executable.
I suggest you create some sort of On-The-Go windows installation and boot from a flash drive if u don't wanna through the whole VBox process or install Windows on ur physical machine.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure what I'll end up doing, my laptop is on its last legs - only one working usb port and a fried keyboard. And the working usb port is usb3, and I've had bad luck installing Windows from that port in the past. There's also no dvd drive. And since I'm only interested in using the phone as a Plex receiver for my stereo anyway, there's no real rush.
Hi, I am trying to connect my 1P7T to Windows 7 and 10, both in Virtualbox guests. But I cannot get the prompt to come up on the phone. It connects just fine to the Linux host, but not to Windows, it has worked before when I had my system on a different version of Linux but not now. Unless there is some better way to run fastboot commands on my phone in Linux, I am all ears. But I would really like to just use the All in one tool in windows.
Thanks
Got it all figured out, first I had the wrong Virtualbox extension pack installed. I still could not get it to work when set to USB 3.0. I set it to USB 2.0 and the phone is now connected and authorized.
Glad I figured it out on my own, but also good for someone else to know.
