Hello.
I used the Toolkit to root my Note 2, and I had to use option 4 on the rooting menu, Install Custom Recovery, Install via Recovery to get it to work. I tried several times via the Odin tool and Twrp recovery, and the phone kept booting into Android Recovery instead of Twrp recovery.
I finally used Odin to flash back to stock ROM that I got here, but, along the way, even though the Toolkit was able to connect to my Note 2, I get the Hardware ID missing, and I cannot connect to it any longer like I could after I installed the initial drivers.
Anything I can do and stay rooted?
Change usb ports or restart your device. Mine did it last night and I fixed it by doing both..
I have the same problem.
Changing ports and restarting in most cases didn't help and only in few cases I managed to access files on the phone via USB.
Any other suggestion how to solve this?
don't use windows..

I was able to gain root back using the toolkit. I flashed stock rom image I believe the ROM from the factory then flashed back stock recovery. Went back in after I updated and re-rooted to flash the triangle away. Now I need to unroot and after speaking with Sprint Rep on phone and trying a few things they advised me to take it to store to let them try it. I believe ALL of my problems started when I tried to use Mobile Odin Pro to flash the latest update to LJC (should I have been on stock recovery?). It started to flash then stopped and went into CWM recovery which is the recovery that the toolkit flashed. I for some strange reason was going to flash the update from there except I didn't have it in the right place on my sd card (couldn't access it GOD I'm a Dumbass!). God help me cause I'm too stupid to even understand what side loading is let alone how to do it. If some kind soul would take pity on me and pm me I could get a handle on the differences between HTC and Samsung. Anyway need to unroot now. Oh I keep seeing in the flash counter saying 1 but I'm on stock rom with stock kernel and stock recovery how do I get it to zero. Using triangle away. Anyway to check counter with stock recovery?
OH yeah does anyone keep getting "Internal Error Code 1500" in addition to the hardware id is missing?
Thanks to everyone that takes time to help idiots like me. I promise I CAN learn.

Thank you...Unlike user: dstenc, the above procedure fixed my issue. As has been the case many times, XDA helpful users to the rescue!
:laugh: :good:
Just to report that for now I've found woraround. I've installed old drivers 1.4.103.0 and now both Kies and file access works.
Still looking for final solution with latest drivers.
Could you walk me through your fix?

Hi dstenc,
Would you be so kind as too help me do what you did? I don't have kies on my pc, did you get the old drivers from the s3 forum? I would love to give it a shot.
Thanks for any help

I don't remember link. I googled so you might try that way.
Just FYI, even with older drivers I have sporadic Hardware ID Missing error, but far too less than with the latest version.
I'm posting this to keep it to the top of this board.
This is my second Note 2 in 2 weeks. I returned the first one because it stated Hardware ID missing, so within my first 2 weeks Sprint gave me a new one thinking that it was my phone. While at the Sprint store, and not yet rooted, we installed the unit and removed the unit 15 times to see if we could get it to have the Missing Hardware ID to pop up, it DIDN'T pop up once, so I thought I was good to go.
I came home and did the common root method that uses Galaxy Note 2 Toolbox. I IMMEDIATELY started getting the Missing Hardware ID again.
So now that we have it localized, what could be missing or creating a problem from the root procedure from the Galaxy Note Toolbox 2???
What I find really strange is that many are not experiencing this problem or they are just living with it.
I even tried the USB Switcher that appeared to install and does switch between Mass Storage and MTP, but although my PC makes the upward noise that sounds like it is installing and recognizing the USB Mass Storage, it doesn't end up recognizing it. It was ZATTA's build but he said it didn't work for his Galaxy 3 or Note 2 either.
Will anyone find a cure????
This will be no fun to have to deal with for the next 2 years.
Chime in PLEASE!!!!!! Even if it's only to insult me, I don't care if you have a cure.
Regards
Dave
if you do Google search, it's a known issue. From what I read, it's a driver issue. Some have had luck using the older Samsung USB drivers. You have downloand them, and install, and have your PC completely disconnected from the internet before plugging in your GN2 after the install. Appaarently the drivers on Microsoft's servers are bad; may be the wrong device.
I've done this, and still have the issue. I just find I don't have plug and unplug the USB cable as much.
What I have seen, the PC does connect to the GN2. It just doesn't recognize it as a storage device. It wants to use it as a modem, probably from the tethering capabilities with a USB OTG cable.
It may not be so much that it's not wide spread, but more that not everyone uses the GN2 as storage device or connects it their PC.
I dont think this is all due to Windows issue. This is what i notice before and after root.
If you have restore to Original Stock ROM, you will notice that your device doesnt encounter this issue.
If you have rooted your device Custom ROM or Flash CMW (this resulted as Binary Counter increased), you would have Hardware Missing Id issue. Somehow the MTP is not working.
If you have Flash your device with a pre rooted stock rom, there is no issue at all until you flash CMW where flashing increase counter.
How i notice this, i have root/unroot my device like 20 times since i got my device.
The issue is here is more of where Binary Counter Increase, in Windows 7 you would face Hardware ID Missing issue. Restart and connect to other USB port will not work.
Some how we need to no let the Binary Counter changed and Triangle Away is only useful if you want to return you device to original state.

Yep I think you may be on to something. Because when I rooted I tried both TWRP and CWM and then I had to go back to stock to get to apply the LJC update. Ever since I have had the chameleon error and Handsfree activation issues. Oh my counter always says 1 and I can't remove it with triangle away. I think it says custom binary yes and the counter says 1. I am using a laptop with Windows 7 and it now recognizes the device just can't stop the errors on start up.

Samsungs older drivers: uploaded.net/file/hdh0f1xd
I installed the AOKP MR1 Milestone 1 rom from this website,but was having problems being able to transfer files over usb.
http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-r...for-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100i9100gsgh-t989sgh-i777/
It connects fine but anytime i try and send a file over to the phone or download something the phone, eventually it locks up and have to reset it.There just pictures and music and not more than 100mb.Is this a known problem with this rom to do that?I have the stock tmobile rom on before but didnt have this issue.Any ideas what might be going on with it?I like this rom and was hoping to be able to use it.thanks
Yes, it is a known problem. Try switching to MTP in storage settings.
phone
I went into storage settings but was unable to find an option to change it into MTP.But when i plugged it in and turned on usb storage mode to try again,i noticed 3 things missing drivers in device manager in windows 8.They each say 'Android' and show up these under 'Hardware ids'.I figured maybe i was missing some drivers so i installed the official samsung tmobile drivers for this model.After that tried to update the drivers to that directory,but guess they were the wrong ones. :/
USB\VID_05C6&PID_9032&REV_0231&MI_00
USB\VID_05C6&PID_9032&REV_0231&MI_01
USB\VID_05C6&PID_9032&REV_0231&MI_02
All i could find were that they were some kind of qualcomm modem drivers.Idk.Is there a rom someone could recommend that doesnt have that bug possibly? tried pacman rom and the new 4.1.2 official tmobile rom but get stuck on the samsung boot screen.Have no clue how to fix that either.If anyone has anymore ideas for a fix i'd appreciate it.thanks
My guess would be that there are drivers missing on your pc for this phone specially. Rather than installing every Samsung driver you can find I use the sgs2 toolkit. Just install the toolkit, launch and it'll configure your system for you.

I ended up installing the stable 4.1.2 rom from here, and everything works great including the toolkit and file transfer

Will have to check out the different option for it thanks for the help.
I broke the digitizer on my note 2, completely destroying any chance of ever being able to view the screen again. Also, I never set up my note II in android device manager to be able to erase it. I bought a new phone, have no desire to put a new digitizer in this phone, and want to sell it. What are my options?
Samsung dive you tried?
Unfortunately I didn't set up Samsung Dive on my phone either.
You could flash your existing rom (if you know which one you had) through odin.
Only thing you have to do 'blind' is bring device in download mode (with device off...volume down/home/power...wait a bit...volume up....hook to your computer and odin suppose to say 'added').
If you don't know which rom was on it, search sammobile for the latest one and flash it as described...make sure it is a full wipe rom (otherwise your data will stay). I think the roms on sammobile that have the orange Kies symbol next to it are non wipe, the ones with grayed Kies symbol are full wipe, but don't shoot me for that
Another solution to be sure of a full wipe rom is to find a similar one here on the forums and ask in the specific thread.
The phone wasn't flashed...
For 'flashing' a rom through Odin your device would not have to be flashed in the first place.
Flashing in this case just means putting the original firmware back on it.
If you don't know which firmware was on your device give Sammobile a try to find the latest firmware.
Sorry, I meant the phone was never even rooted...

In the following link at post 6 you can find emergency factory reset firmwares which also reset your SD card personal information etc. Unfortunately the links was at hotfile which is not working anymore, but I saw at same thread some users have uploaded them to other servers search the thread starting from last post to first and u will find the links. The thread has installation instructions via odin. After installing browse your SD card via pc at android/data to see if any data of your installed application exist, if not and are only the applications which coming with phone means that your phone reseted successfully
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915386
For flashing via pc odin you have to go blind as nirak wrote to u earlier for entering at download mode. Follow his instructions to enter download mode and after the instructions of the thread I gave u. Also u have to install first Samsung kies software for the drivers and after to enter at task manager at your pc and terminate all the processes of kies, 4 processes if I remember well because kies don't allows to flash via odin. You need it only for the drivers.

This is practically a cry for help after i searched for hours.
Model: Sm-n910P
Software version : Unknown
Android : 4.4.4
Baseband: Unknown
build: PVPU1ANK2
Stock recovery
(if anything else helps just ask)
Problem first: My note 4 has no network of any kind (wifi doesnt start , doesnt recognize sim card )
When i try attaching a usb cable i get Device is not recognized (checked drivers, cables so its software and it's the mobile)
The only communication with the device is via the SD Card.
Tried flashing a stock 4.4.4 via stock recovery. Nope! It says Update from external card is disabled.
I'm looking for a way to root , or flash anything.
Every thought, suggestion, idea is welcomed.

Never been OTA updated to lollipop OE1? That one doesn't allow downgrading to older versions.
Device not recognized with USB in what mode and operation? Security protocols for KitKat and Lollipop are restricted. Device should be recognized in custom recovery or download mode. Did you try Odin? Power down, download mode and flash the NK2 stock tar. If you're still having problems ##786#. Still having issues, try the NIE stock tar. Make sure you power down before flashing stock tars. Link to KitKat tars mentioned above; follow OP, post 1 for instructions.

For root, you need CF Auto Root for Note 4. You can also try TWRP Manager for custom recovery. It's in Google Play. But you don't have to root to flash in Odin. Samsung KIES is alternate method for restoring factory firmware or updates but some are confused by the serial number request; not recognized. Haven't tried it myself.

Tx for the reply.
Device is not recognized in neither mode (normal, download or recovery).
I tried ##786# but i dont know my msl and i cant find a wy to get it (im outside the US so the phone is not activated). I tried some "msl reader find my msl" programs but they cant get it. Any1 has some apk that may work in my case?
As for the flashing as I stated all I need is a way to flash stock but i cant get the PC to recognize the phone so im stuck.
EDIT 1 As far as I know never been updated (bought the phone in ebay)
I don't know if there's anything that can be done but get a refund. Sounds like you bought a brick. Was it always a brick?
Did you try another USB port? Try the rear port. If not, try a hard reset: wipe cache and dalvik and factory reset and try to reboot. Long shot would be a hard reset and OB7 update.zip; unless it's completely stock, the update will be rejected. But I'm thinking that can no longer just be placed on external sdcard. That may have to placed on the file system as if the phone downloaded it, itself.
It's safer to hard reset. If not rebooting to normal operation, time to pursue a refund.

So I was thinking about the situation you're in. I recalled the phone can be unlocked to use internationally on 3G only. Is it unlocked? It would also
need to set your carrier APN/Access points to get data.
If you own the phone, Sprint will give you the MSL number. Sprint can help unlock it and there's also this method but I don't know much about about it. There's also the hard reset method that can be done within settings.
Here's a method that was requested with a pledged bounty. But try Sprint first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...print-samsung-unlocker-unlock-sprint-t2928250
My initial impression was phone is bricked but not sure if a locked phone's WiFi is bound to regional USA that would cause WiFi connection issues? It's still possible the USB issue is not using a USB 2.0 port or a bad cable. It may not be bricked. Try reinstalling driver and/or another PC.

Well I tried everything u mentioned , full factory restore, wipe everything. I even tried update from external (since stock has no option for updating from the internal sd) but i get an error (update from external storage is disabled). The phone is practically a brick for the network part but I'm not sure I can return it back in the states as I'm in Europe. Any way i can root via some apk ?

I didn't think the root is possible without Odin for either the custom recovery or root.
eBay return practice would be to notify seller of issue. If no response, contact eBay.

Wouldnt the entire phone be soft-bricked (not just the network part) if you did the factory reset and wiped your phone but cant get the cable to recognize your phone on your pc ???
Or is that your current situation?
Well everything but network works. I can install apk's from sdcard, open apps etc. Next thing is the screen just got black and is not giving signs of life (didn't do anything it was charging) so it's going in a repair shop. Thanks everyone for the efforts. Case may be considered closed.

Thanks and yes my other Note 4 connects just fine
I have a Samsung Wave S8500 (running Bada 2.0), which I hadn't used in a couple of years. Now I am selling it, and for security purposes I reset it to factory settings, to erase all data. The thing is, personal information, contacts, old chats etc. on Samsung ChatON persists after factory reset!
I don't even know how on earth this is possible, but I have no way of either manually removing them or deleting the app (because it's a default app).
I could really need some help, in any shape or form.
I thought to try and reflash the phone, but I can't through Kies because it, frustratingly, says that the latest firmware is already there.
I thought to try and install a new firmware with Odin, but for the life of me, everything fails (I can't find a working rom - sammobile .zip files seem to be corrupt, I tried 4 different ones, and others report similar issues)
I googled trying to find a way to "get into the system" and just delete the @$#! ChatON app, but I can't (some mention a program called Trix), but I can't understand how to use it.
Any help at all? Thanks in advance!
First : Odin is for android devices and Wave is NOT an android device
Second : you can use multiloader to reflash your Wave or you can use emergency firmware recovery through kies
Best Regards

Thanks for the input. Kies, as I mentioned, does not allow me to use emergency firmware recovery, because the latest firmware is already there.
I also tried multiloader, but I can't find the roms anywhere. The sammobile .zips are corrupted. If you (or anyone else) is aware of another repository of roms, I'd appreciate it
As i recall....the emergency firmware recovery can be started from kies without even connecting the phone to the usb
You have to enter phone serial number and model then kies will instruct you to press key combo to start download mode
Sorry i don't have a pc to show you the steps but it was really pretty simple
Best Regards
