I'm trying to root my S3 with the latest version of toolbox and I've watched the video here on xda and I followed everything to a T but when in Odin I keep getting the same error over and over, Can't open the serial (COM) port. Any ideas?? Its really frustrating. I've made sure USB debbuging is checked too so its not that. I'm using a windows 8 laptop, don't know if that has anything to do with it but its reading my device. Drivers installed OK. Please help!!!

Why use a toolbox which can cause issues and you actually don't know what it's doing. When rooting the S3 is the easiest thing and takes less than 5 minutes. I recommend this and works with all variants and you learn what your doing.

I've actually tried other ways besides the toolbox but its the same problem. It keeps failing at the same spot in Odin. I have rooted before, I have a GNote 2, a GNote 10.1, & a Nexus 4, all of which I rooted but for some reason the S3 will not pass in Odin!!! So if someone can figure it out please let me know cause its got me stumped as to why it fails in Odin.

Are you extracting the Tar file when using odin?

Trying to get boot manager pro running on my note 2, and it says my device not supported, then asks for a bunch of manual settings. Frankly I'm lost at what to enter. Anyone else got this working? I have a 32 gig card, not sure of that matters.

It has not been updated since April and the Devs won't be working on it..... It's basically a dead app ... if you want it to work you will have to do it yourself ...

So any good alternatives?

Shouldn't it be about the same?

I dont know .... I would not try it the mount points are probably different and it could brick your phone

Can anyone confirm??
Yes it does. I tried it on my note 10.1 and note 2. Not rooted by the way.

Thanks! Do you know if it mirrors all apps? Ideally I would like to use it to play rented google play movies on my big screen.
I just tried and it's a no go. It's not working at all since I rooted with the multi view add-on. Device dhcp error. Seems like I need the 4.2 update as someone pointed out. I'll try messing around and see if it works.

Android3220,
Question for you. When you reset your allshare cast dongle does it turn blue for quite a while or does it turn back to red pretty quickly. Mine turns back to red pretty quickly. I tried connection from my note 2 within 2 mins after reset like the instructions told me to and it still doesn't work.
I have replaced the optical drive with an additional HDD and i cannot install Parallels on Bootcamp. Is there a workaround to use OSX for rooting and flashing ROM's successfully?
I rooted using the exploit, I only have a macbook right now. I've had little luck with anything for my note 2 and Mac, probably same for this note.

Unfortunately, in the last six years I've been messing with Android devices, I haven't seen much in the way of development utilities being ported to Mac. Definitely never seen these all-in-one toolkits. Development seems a bit slow for this particular device whether its because of the high expense or lack of cellular radio, so I wouldn't hold your breath.
Do you have the hard drive space for a BootCamp solution? I hate rebooting my Macbook just to get into Windows to mess with my devices, but its a small price to pay.
I thought if doing the boot camp thing as well, I definitely have the space. I should do that.

There is plenty of space. 240 ssd and 1 T but, bootcamp doesn't install unless I will put the optical drive back in the Macbook and install Windows in ssd. A bit more of a hassle but seems like the only way

Hi, anyone know if it is possible to switch from an Android platform to a Windows mobile 8 on the Sprint Galaxy Note 2?
No it wont happen. There is a very slim chance to actually pull it off. And we bought android phones for android. Sell your phone and get a windows phone.

arm windows 8 is proprietary and driver locked... if you pull it off it's illegal and to pull it off you would need to write your own drivers

Not interested in changing from Android to Windows. Just wanted to try it if possible. Thanks for your information.
It was answered in the other thread you posted too. ... no real need to spam the board with the same question because you didn't like the answer

So I acquired an s off tester phone with old test software on it. Where and what all do I need to read up on in order to catch up with flashing an m9 without borking it.
Also most stable or newest ROM suggestions are appreciated. I'm so used to my nexus that I'm spinning my wheels trying to work out the steps
