Did you download the stock images from the google site? If yes you must extract it and flash it via fastboot.

note: there must be like, at least 10 threads where people discuss/has been discussed these issues. follow the rules.
post exact commands and correspondent output/errors. are you using fastboot on a terminal with admin/root privileges? all fastboot commands failed? or just the radio? do you see your device recognized on the output of 'fastboot devices'? this is maguro (gsm) we talking about?

Hello, I have 2 questions regarding Fastboot for the Galaxy Note II:
1) Is fastboot supported in the Galaxy Note II?
2) If not, is there an adb equivalent of the command: fastboot boot recovery.img?
I ask because I know that adb is supported by the Galaxy Note II, and it seems that Fastboot isn't. I appreciate all help.
Regards,
Alan
Why do you believe fastboot is not supported? Fastboot only works in a special bootloader mode, you can get into with 'adb reboot bootloader'.You shoulb be able to use fastboot then. Generally there are no adb equivalents of fastboot, as they just do different things.

Hi dobbi,
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, the command 'adb reboot bootloader' does not boot the Galaxy Note II into bootloader/fastboot mode. It just boots the device into normal mode, just like a regular restart. That is why I think this mode is not supported by the Galaxy Note II. Could it be that I am doing something wrong? I doubt it, because the 'adb devices' command works normally, so it must be that even though the adb reboot command is being sent correctly, the device somehow blocks it. Any ideas?
Regards,
Alan
Try to boot into download mode with either a jig or by pressing special buttons, I don't know them by heart, but they should be easy to find. Then issue the fastboot devices command. If you see your note, you can use fastboot.

Booting into download mode is easy (Vol. Down+Power+Home). But once in download mode, neither fastboot devices nor adb devices show my device. In normal mode, adb commands do work though. I have read somewhere that fastboot mode is not supported by the Galaxy Note II because it supports Odin. I am not that experienced, so I do not understand why supporting Odin means that fastboot must not be supported (why cannot both be supported?). Does this make any sense to you?
Regards,
Alan
It is possible to support both. I cannot find any real evidence that the Note II does not support fastboot, however it isn't mentioned in any tutorial or similar. Not every device supports fastboot, unfortunately, as it's a developer tool, really. And let's face it, the Note II isn't exactly what you'd call a developer device... I do not own this device, so I can't check, but it seems there's no fastboot for you

Tried it but it just gets to "recovery.img" and sits there for 15 minutes...
The Note 2 uses ODIN/Heimdal to flash recovery. It's insanely simple.
VolDown+Home+Power, then choose VolUp to get into ODIN mode.
From there, use ODIN (Windows) or Heimdal (Linux) to flash a proper recovery (ClockworkMod, TeamWin OpenRecovery...) and use the new recovery to flash your new ROM.
I use Linux so I haven't tried ODIN. Heimdal went like this:
Download TeamWin Openrecovery. Extract the recovery.img
heimdal flash --recovery recovery.img
Done.

Close kies from task manager or remove it entirely. Just leave the drivers.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Something of note that no one has mentioned: ODIN requires .TAR files in order to flash correctly. .IMG files will not work. The Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit includes all tools you will need to root, add a custom recovery, flash an insecure bootloader, and convert .IMG files to .TAR files.
Maybe try Heimdall, or a different version of Odin.
Just realized how old this thread is. I'm sure you have this figured out by now. lol

Hey Bro,
I use Samsung Galaxy Note II (SGH-T889). I am facing the same trouble regarding fastboot. Very depressed to find my phone does not support fastboot..!!
Thank God and thanks to you all for this thread!
I've done everything humanly possible to fastboot
N7100 but no way! Adb works fine, I've used Odin to flash stock firmware from sammobile with pit file and everything worked well but fastboot? No way!
I've downloaded the Lastest drivers from Samsung and Google, disabled firewall and Anti-virus, run as Administrator, uninstall and reinstall drivers but yet fastboot ain't working on N7100....
Anybody who has ever used fastboot on N7100 should please tell us how, it's really annoying that I can't use fastboot on this phone.....

You can't use Fastboot on Note 2 cause.........it doesn't have it
Samsung uses Download mode and ODIN (which is much better with GUI than CLI Fastboot) for same purposes.
Search and read more and you'll like it

Good luck !
I have installed and reinstalled the usb drivers like 4 times with reboots in between. I was about to root, but after root i cant do anything. The main thing i want to do is flash a custom rom. I have the gnex tool kit, it says waiting for device (option 6), and the most recent drivers are from that toolkit. I tried command pront, Fastboot reboot-bootloader, it says waiting for device. I tried adb flash recovery recovery.img it says waiting for device. I tried 2 different cables and all my usb ports on my computer.
Im at a loss. I can still transfer files from my computer to my device. My computer detects it just none of these commands... god i wish i had an sd card slot... lol
Edit:
I also tried putting it inot fastboot mode by pressing the power and wolume up / down keys. It goes to the screen and says start. All commands still say waiting for device.
I feel like this is a driver issue but idk why.... i have tried all drivers...........
i have a samsung galaxy nexus l515 verizon cdma.

Unplug your phone from computer install the drivers from Samsung's website. (Google USB drivers for galaxy nexus i515) reboot computer and try again. Maybe u should install android SDK with adb and do it manually instead of using a toolkit. Those cause problems.

Still unable to flash cwm or anything from the computer however i was able to flash cwrm touch today after buying the rom manager premium. Still doesnt explain why i cannot do it from my computer. Mind you i attempted this on my laptop (slackerware) and i did still have issues.
I think it is somthing with the port on my phone ror maybe somthing else. Regardless, im not lazy for i do know where google is and how to abuse all of her abilities. I know where the forum search button is also.

Naked nexus drivers
Windows native drivers
Slackerware mobile drivers
Samsung drivers

Are you confusing adb with fastboot, or was "adb flash recovery recovery.img" a typo? Anyway, forget the toolkit. Get adb/fastboot binaries from the 101 & FAQ, and try:
1) booted into Android: adb devices
This should list your device with a number. If the list is empty, adb cannot interface with your gnex.
2) booted into the bootloader: fastboot devices
This should also list your device with a number. If the list is empty, fastboot cannot interface with your gnex.
Note that the adb and the fastboot interface are different. If you installed drivers and got adb running, this does not automatically make fastboot working. Boot into fastboot, connect and use device manager to scout for unknown devices. Update using naked driver if necessary.

you are lazy. you're relying on a toolkit.
please root your phone the manual way, or at least try fastboot alone so we actually know what the problem is.

Again, driver issue. 'fastboot devices' should return your devices serial number. that command is the tell-tell sign that communication between fastboot host (PC/Mac) and client (device) see and recognise each other.
And please try to be flawless on the transcription of the exact commands used, to exclude the possibility of typos.

1. Open device manager on your PC.
2. Right click on Android 1.0 with the yellow ! mark on it.
3. Choose update driver.
4. Choose browse my computer.
5. Choose Let me pick from a list.
6. Scroll down and find the Samsung driver with newest date. Should be the driver you downloaded above. (Possibly dated 11/25/2011 ).
7. It will give you a warning about installing the driver, just click yes.

Hi,
Has anyone any idea how to restore my Galaxy Nexus to original without using USB?
I have a Galaxy Nexus Android 4.2.2. The USB doesn't working, however when connected to the power it recharges the battery but turns the phone off.
I can not use USB connection to computer either because the phone switches off immediately.
The phone has been rooted and I can access the root section when the phone turned on and I can upload any file via SMB.
I just need some info on what to do to restore the phone to it's original condition and so remove the info on rooting.
Please don't send me info on any external USB connection because I've tried it all and it does not working.
Thanks

Worst case, download mobile Odin via play store. If u still have root access then your good. Search for latest gnex stock image(its available to public in its original form made for restore purposes or manual upgrade) keep in mind this wipes everything. While using app ensure ever root is enabled otherwise you'll lose root. The stock image should be in tgz format or something similar. Extract it to your SD card, it will give u a folder. Inside the folder is a bunch of files( possibly a folder within a folder, been a while for me). When using mobile Odin u manually select the boot.IMG system.IMG radio.IMG user data.IMG so if u know the problem u can choose just what u need. Sounds complicated as hell but its really simple. I figured this to be a temporary solution as my laptop had no internet to download need files to restore. Only problem is Mobil Odin isn't free about 4 bucks I think. But well worth the money

Under developer options is option "adb over the network", so if you select this your phone will get ip address and listening port and then you can access it via your computer on that specifics ip/port.

As per usual when changing ROMs, you need to wipe data (in most cases) for your device to boot.
Hi, I am studying android and custom roms...
I found the term, "one click flashing". (I am usually playing in AT&T android development forum. In particular, Ditto Note 3)
What means "one click flashing"?
Waiting for reply.
Thanks.
Have a good day.
The file is downloaded to the pc, is unzipped, and then ran in administrator mode. The phone is booted in download mode and connected to the pc. Then you click 'start' once, and the rom is installed.
What do you mean the file is ran in administrator mode? I assume you are talking about Odin? I am not familiar with Odin very much. I too am wanting to know this in reference to the DN3 rom.
Admin mode is windows 7
How is one click different than a normal flash with Odin? In one click do you still have to select the file into the PDA slot to flash a bootloader? On the Play store there is a mobile Odin. Can I use this to flash a bootloader? I don't have access to a PC so do it the traditional way through Odin is difficult for me.

You don't have to put anything into the PDA slot. The one click works, like your opening a zip file. Once it's open,, Odin would pop up on your PC... Then your phone is put into download mode,, connected to the PC. Hit start wait till it completes...
Done...:thumbup:
As far as MobileOdinPro...
I've heard some people used it to flash...
Just read and know what your doing\flashing using mobile Odin ok...

I have downloaded the file several times and still no go. When I use Odin it never shows my model number on the top of the program. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
