I got a new Virgin Mobile Galaxy S2, planning to flash it to pageplus.
I have tried multiple drivers, including the one installed directly by Kier. The phone is recognized by the computer successfully as an MTP. But I was not able to make flashing softwares (such as remotesquard, abracadabra... which I think they are basically the same software) to see my phone.
The software see a USB Modem, but no valid phone. What could go wrong?
TIA
Someone didn't do his homework.
I'll help with 50% of your research. Look at this thread and read, you may find something. I hope. :beer:

I don't know the answer to your question, but lost device scare is the reason I use this.
You can lock, locate or erase your device with a simple text message.
Plus anti virus, call & text blocking and creeping mode if your into that....

So when i first got my gs3 in august i was able to root with heimdall. Early January i had to have my phone replaced because the speaker was messing up.
Since ive gotten it replaced i have had the most ridiculous time trying to find a way to root it with my mac again. The old process with Heimdall does not work anymore.
And it appears that the only process to work is with Odin. The only issue is i dont have access to a Pc to run odin. Am i correct in assuming that i cannot currently root and push a new recovery with a mac?
Ive tried google, XDA, Rootzwiki, Android central and i cant seem to find much information anywhere...
If i couldnt use the search button properly feel free to flame away but i cant seem to find anyhting.

Sorry,
I swore i had it in QandA If you can imagine, last night i had around 20 tabs open trying to find the answer or trying to use old or alternative methods to get a custom recovery. I think i just clicked the wrong tab..
Thankyou though for moving it for me.
@banccalif it looks like i have no choice but to run a virtual machine of Win7 just to get this thing rooted...
Hey guys this is my first post so please forgive me if my searching skills aren't up to par, but I did make an attempt before I started this thread. I bought a Galaxy Note II off craigslist from a guy and it was actually flashed to cricket. I'm trying to figure out how to flash it back to sprint. I've tried a ##786# reset and a ##data# reset neither of which worked. The phone is still saying welcome to cricket when I try to activate. Can anyone help please?

The ONLY way ro rever back to sprint settings you will need to odin stock. Dont matter how many times you try your phone will still be flashed to cricket when I had my s3 accidentally odin back to stock because cricket could not flash it. When completely bone stock and lost flash. So maybe that'll work.

Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I did and it worked like a charm
So I tried three times tonight to use either the toolkit, cf-root and OneClick to root and install twrp...
Each and every time I got twrp I tried flashing a rom and before rebooting after the flash, twrp tells me it appears I don't have root. WTF? I even used root checker to verify...
And after I choose to install superuser it soft bricks my phone to the point where it won't boot and sticks on the boot screen (black with white Samsung Galaxy Note II) and does nothing.
I am stumped. Anybody have an idea why this is happening? Do I have a rogue device that will not cooperate???
Thanks.

What is the model number of your device? Also you can just screenshot your about phone.

Aren't all Sprint Note II's SPH-L900?
Yes they are. But some have been asking questions and before I give out wrong info I wanted to be sure you had the right model number. Lots of att note 2 users asking questions lately.

I just flashed it back to stock and I guess I'm gonna leave it that way. Too much hassle to try and keep root with twrp. Just pisses me off that this device is not functioning like the last Note II I had...
I kinda got confused yesterday between using updated T999 bootloaders or update I747 bootloaders because I had re ODIN'ed my my whole phone via Samsung Provided Bins and that bin contained T999 bootloaders and modem that worked and booted properly on my I747 without any problems. Thing is I decided to update that bootloader and modem to the newest version for T999 which in turn caused my dead GS3. So I'm guessing the problem would be a corrupted bootloader? I have the MSM8960 hex and the MSM8960 BIN, but when I try to program these to my SG3 which is in QHUSB mode, it says the "Cookie (If Present) not received error (QPST 2.7 Build 402). I've been up studying partitions etc etc but I just can't seem to do it. I think I need the partition_boot.xml and the rawprogram0.xml and or patch0.xml IF those were needed (I'm kinda glitchy right now, no sleep -_-) all I need to do is get my phone into regular odin mode so I can flash all the files back to my baby again (Dropbox 50GB +Nandroid TWRP FTW) (And by files, I mean the proper CSC, Bootloaders, Modem, Platform and Partition files I got from Samsung for my unlocked and modded S3.
I'll add the attachments I've used up until now, Including the odin files I've used for turning my phone into an T999 (Should NEVER update that Bootloader with a new T999 one, just a new I747 one LESSON LEARNED)
Dropbox :http://www.dropbox.com/sh/9hpjjj95dtxxx74/acPHV3XqL_
T999_UVDMD5_firmware_v4 is what bricked my phone, I have the flash the files inside this shared dropbox folder (Also in the BOOTLOADER zip of course, before I can get her running again.
Any help getting to rewrite the bootloaders and or getting into ODIN mode? I'm bringing my phone back from hell, really, If I can manage to solve this problem as well, I want to make this into an AIO so everyone who went through the same mistake by off chance can fix this as well.
Any help would be appreciated, I would JTAG, but I don't have the money for it, they aren't hiring 17 year olds around state right now -_- So I guess this would be the opprotunity to help me further my tech knowledge ( I want to do Tech Development like this when I go to college in 2 years )
Thanks
Jtag is the only way I know of, if it's truly hard bricked.
Really?

I did alot of research and seen that it can possibly be done, but it shows up in QHUSB mode where I heard it's difficult, yet possible to fix, with a few file to make it boot as a USB drive

Thank you, I sort of considered it something to work on, instead of it being a question for me to ask, I see otherwise now.
