the casual download link doesn't work :/

I assume you ended up here, which appears to me to be the 4.1.2 version: [Jailbreak][Root][Recovery] No You Verizon -VRAMC3 --update 10MAY13 - xda-developers

It works for me. Maybe you need to be more specific as to what you're trying and what's happening.

I downloaded Casual r532b and ran it like the video says and I get an error that says "Error cannot access device libusb or something like that and something that is asking my computer if I was sure I wanted to run Cadi.

 

[colchiro]

Sounds like a problem with your Java. If you don't OK it, I could see where you could run into an error. I'd try it again. This is how I rooted my N2.

You can test your Java installation here: How do I test whether Java is working on my computer?

 

[mrryanthai]

it's still doing the same thing :/. The screen pops up constantly asking me if I want to run cadi.exe pops up every time I click yes or no.

 

[chizler]

do you have usb debugging enabled on your phone?

 

[mrryanthai]

Yessir

 

[chizler]

idk i just used it yesterday to unlock my wifes phone and it worked flawless.

What is this screen? Is it Windows or your antivirus (which could be disabled)?

Speaking of Windows, what version? (XP, Vista, Win7, Win 8?)

 

[mrryanthai]

It's the screen that asks you if you're sure you want to run the program.Windows 8

Casual 515b is what I used in July and it runs fine. I just ran it now (without my phone plugged in) and had several warnings from Avast AV, so you might need to temporarily disable whatever antimalware you run. I had an adb window open along with the Casual app.

Alright I will give that a try when I get home

From that page I found this:

Download
CASUAL(R515b) No You Verizon! CASUAL is used to automate the process. The exploit was developed by Elite Recognized Developer Ralekdev and packaged by AdamOutler. To run CASUAL you need Java. Do you have Java?

yeah the page doesn't work and the cache page doesn't work either on Chrome or Internet Explorer

edit: page works, took many tries but download link doesn't work :/

 

[colchiro]

You've got something goofy going on there, b/c the link works for me. Can you DL it on another computer and put it on a USB stick?

 

[mrryanthai]

yeah,still not working,just tried on my netbook.can you upload it to dropbox or something so I can download.Just tried it with safari,firefox,opera.None worked.That would be much appreciate it,thanks!

 

[mrryanthai]

I finally got it to download but it's the same thing,here's the log that I get.

edit:YAY I have root.now time to search for a rom.I had to make sure that the computer didn't ask me everytime I made changes to the computer.

 

[colchiro]

Since I still like the idea of learning to use the pen features, I'm running Jelly Beans 22 and think I'll stick with it.

 

[mryanmarkryan]

Look for update guides in google but turn on search options first upper right hand corner of Google page and select a time range for past year. That way you get a new guide and not something from 2 years ago

 

[mryanmarkryan]

Colchiro I was doing the same with jelly beans 2.2 but there are no more updates and I got bored with it. Check out pacman ROM for I 605 you will enjoy the experience..

 

[colchiro]

I'm running CM11 nightly. It isn't too bad. I tried a couple roms and didn't like them, like N3bula, Nephilim, and CarbonBlack.

 

[mryanmarkryan]

Oh sorry that was an old post haha pac man rom is built nightly too but merges cmw11 with a few other roms.
