Trying to use the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit donated and got the update for 4.1.2 and still having a problem with odin , any help ?
Try Heimdall... it's what I use personally (or have to, as I use Linux).
Heimdall
Instructions should be on that site (I wouldn't know how to use the windows version, heh heh).
EDIT: Also, this belongs in Q&A, for future reference
I'm using it via windows 7 64 bit

Ok, then scroll to the bottom of the page I linked you to. and find the 1.3.1 Windows Suite.
It should come with a readme of some sort, but I wouldn't know.
I can however say that it works just fine for me and might be a good alternative if Odin is failing you.

Does this work the same as the galaxy toolkit ?
I'm actually not sure, as I have never used that tool.
It would be best to ask in the GNote2 Toolkit thread for our device.

Well, im gonna ask a few questions since you gave very limited info.
You are in Download mode correct?
You have verified the drivers installed correctly?
Are you using a USB 3.0 port? Ive seen that cause problems.
Are you using the stock cable?
Just a few things to help solve the issue.

I want to flash a custom rom on my Note 2 from bell mobility.
I'm following steps from wiki called How To Install CyanogenMod Android for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE ("t0lte")
When I type heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img --no-reboot, it gives me a message "heimdall is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
What am I doing wrong?
First of all what is your model number? Are you rooted? Custom recovery?

I'm not rooted. I'm following the steps in "Installing a custom recovery on Galaxy Note 2 LTE"
Samsung devices come with a unique boot mode called Download Mode which is very similar to Fastboot Mode on some devices with unlocked bootloaders. Heimdall is a cross-platform, open source tool for interfacing with Download Mode on Samsung devices. The preferred method of installing a custom recovery is through this boot mode. Rooting the stock firmware is neither recommended nor necessary.

Model number is SGH-i317M. M simply means Bell Mobility, they always add "M" at the end. Otherwise it's the same, no difference.

Thank you but this one is using odin I think. I heard that Heimdall is better. If you go to the cyanogenmod website and select Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE ("t0lte"), then you can click "How To Install CyanogenMod Android for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE ("t0lte")" and it has the instuctions. This is the part I'm having a problem with. This is the guide they provide for the cyanogenmod, so it's kind of "official" and that's why I want to use it. Also when I'm stuck at something I want to figure it out instead of jumping from one thing to another. I don't understand why it's not working I'm following all the instructions. I'm wondering if anyone used the method I'm trying to use.
Have you installed Heimdall on your mac computer? You have to install it on your computer, NOT on your phone..
Then you place your phone in download mode, and run the heimdall command from your Mac..
AND, if instruction on XDA appear "too sophisticated" for you, then you are NOT ready to root your phone, trust me on this one..
But hey, its your phone, so go crazy....

There's nothing more official about this method than any of the others suggested. And wade I'd right, if the other methods are too sophisticated for you then you aren't ready for this.

Hahaha:good: It's just a matter of following steps. And from reading the guide I don't need to root my phone. I like when everything is complete and clear. After so many years I though it would become simpler to install a rom, not more complicated.
I have a PC, not a Mac. But how do I install it on my computer? It doesn't say neither how nor that I need to in the instructions.

They look sophisticated, but I can still do them. I flashed roms with odin on my galaxy s 2. However I already started with something so that's how I want to finish it. Also the creator of the rom provides instructions how to install his rom so that's why I want to do it that way.
Heimdall is for mac's not pc's, so if you want to install ANY custom rom on your phone, you need to be able to use Odin
and, you MUST root your phone to install Cyanogen mod or any custom rom, period, no matter what you might have read..

Don't be so negative. Isn't cyanogenmod the best rom out there for android? In that case I thought the best way to install it is to follow the directions the creators of this rom give you.

Is it possible to root the Nexus without a computer?
There was a way to install adb and fastboot an Android tablet or another phone a while back. Although I am not sure if it is still possible (the sdk updated, and I am not sure if they updated). Edit for clarification: Which if it is, you could use a tablet and an OTG cable to achieve root. Which technically would mean you don't need a PC.
Though, to actually answer your question, no you need a computer.

Solve that problem then. Try different cables, different USB ports (if on desktop try one on the back of the PC). Try uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. Try another PC.
If all of that fails, it may be a hardware issue with the phone.
You can use superboot. And chainfire's supersu is flashable in cwm isn't it?

Odin.
I just did mine yesterday. I recommend you use the TWRP version for now because I had a lot of problems with the CWM file). In a nutshell:
1. download/install Odin on a windows PC (google for details)
2. read all the details in the CWM thread in the 8.0 development section but...
3. download the ODIN file in the TWRP thread in the 8.0 development section (use this file instead of the CWM-ODIN file, otherwise follow the CWM instructions)
4. if everything works correctly, your tablet reboots at the end with an "updating" prompt. When it is back up you can launch the SuperSU app to confirm it worked.

Root on T310
I used odin 3.07 on my T310 and it worked for me.
BUT I had to use the Root-SGT3-80.zip file after twrp2.60.
Have used terminal to check su. and it works.
Problems I still have are\
1. No UMS (USB Mass Storage).
2. No ADB support with win XP, Tried 1.5.18.0 Drivers. But Samsung ADB driver doesn't load
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...

Okay, you make it sound so easy. I have yet to be able to get Odin to work. I have downloaded countless versions of Odin from xda and when I put the phone in download mode and flash a file in pda slot nothing happens, it says 0 ran, 0 failed. 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. I am trying to flash the bootloader to 4.3. Don't know if this matters but I used the heimdal method to root my phone on a Mac, but since no Odin on Mac, I have been using a pc for it.
