[Q] Root SGS I9070 DDLK2 - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All - very new to the forum an very new to Android. I have SGS I9070 DDLK2 (i am from India). Airtel is the provider.
I have been going thru the forum and tried to root the SGS, with the method in the below link:
h t t p: / / techdraginfo . blogspot . com / 2012 / 10 / how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s-advance
After that i installed the SU and Busybox from Google Play, but on my SU log's it reads - Binary outdated? i tap to update the update being, get error "no root access".. the busybox too i am unable to install (symfile is selected) its gives error "boot recovery" and the install fails. BUT i have both SU and Busybox in my application list? Is my phone rooted ?
I do not want to upgrade to JB, need GB only. as the software that i have will work only on 4.0.x... i need help from the forum to guide me on how to gain complete root access on I9070 with BG as OS... I am very novice at all this - was able to root as there were screen shots in the link that i used for rooting my SGS I9070.
Would appreciate your help... pls pls

Download your stock firmware from www.sammobile.com/firmware or http://samsung-updates.com/tag/firmware/ and attach me kernel.bin.md5 from that file. I will repack it for step 10. You can post that on that thread for rooting, maybe someone else needs it. And it will be easier to find there, then here on this one.

Just that. After that you will repeat all from that guide for rooting. And by this method you increase binary counter. Triangle away can reset it now for our phone.

I think you even do not need to use pit file. Yes, that is it. And install Superuser, no SuperSU. I think we had problems with SuperSU, and Superuser worked fine.

Op : so you mail me, i give you the method and you make a new thread? I mean what the fcuk?
:annoyed:
I do not respond to tech support via PM

[Q] Help - How to root Samsung Note KL3 (Singapore Starhub)

Hi there
Yes I know there are articles about this (damn long articles with strange terms). And I have read through a lot posts about how to root Samsung Galaxy Note - there seems to be 1001 ways to do it but none of them worked on my model KL3 (purchased from Starhub in Singapore)
-> Tried one-click root method - doesnt work anymore for KL3
-> Tried odin method, can't find the place to download the revised ROM (just wondering why will the author still post the URL that is invalid?)
So please anyone out there, if you have done any successful root on KL3, please let me know how you did it.
I am willing to pay you some $$ to get the no-nonsense answer - I have wasted 1 day digging around and I don't want to waste more time.

First downgrade your firmware, then Root it. after applying Root, you can back to Singapore KL3 or watever new ROM you desire, by using CWM or Mobile Odin
Hi sorry to hijack yr thread OP,but i am also from Singapore.i bought a set from singtel.
my firmware are as follow:
PDA:N7000DXKL3
PHONE:N7000DXKL2
CSC:N7000OLBKL2
Baseband:N7000DXKL2
Kernel:2.6.35.7-N7000DXKL3-CL825081 [email protected]#2
i am confused on which one to look at as both pda and phone has different KL version..so which one should i be looking at for rooting purposes and can my current fw be rooted directly?
Look at kernel version. You are on KL3.
Follow dr.ketan's post above.
thanks for replies.
what puzzles me is that,i read dr.ketan's pdf guide and found that N7000DXKL3 is direct rootable.have u tried and it failed?

Actually xxkl3 was released early that was direct rootable, but some newer version released under kl3 are not rootable
Actuallt kl* are non rootable, except some early kl3. So you shud try to root it directly, if not success you should consider it as non rootable.

Mmm.
I m from singapore also.
I can tell u, i don't care which version i am.
Normally i will just download the newest version from www.sammobile.com and flash through odin, and on ICS, if i loose my root, i will use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794. To get my root back. Easy and fast.
Ps: i never do full wipe on ics, i tried once and brick my device.

Can't Root Samsung Galaxy Ace 2.3.6 XWKT4

Hi i tryed all the ways to root my Samsung Galaxy Ace (S5830), SuperOneClick, upd_1.zip
I get the superuser application on it but doesn't give me root acces, so its still not rooted,
All applications that requires rooted phone don't work, super user doesn't show any allow
notifications, has no apps in its list when i open it, tryed modifing settings in it still no succes....
Model Number: GT-S5830
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: S5830XWKT4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL965213 [email protected] #1
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.HRKT2
I googled a lot, tryed a lot, no succes, please help!
EDIT:
I did it!
I know this is an old Thread but I wanted to post that I did and how I did it: The problem was because of my stock rom limited space so I used thinkdroid.apk_removal.zip to remove thinkdroid from device and free space for full super user installation was now there, and afther the thinkdroid.apk every root atempt worked flawlesly.
The problem was because of the Hugo Boss Rom that had a limited internal memory, ow and I needed to delete everything on internal memory, so if someone is having the same problem:
1 factory reset
2 from recovery flash thinkdroid removal
3 flash root_upd1 (or any root zip for sga)
done
Can u uninstall the superuser app?
Phone:GT-S5830
ROM:SGSII V9

If it doesn work then look for AceGingerRoot.zip

I did exactly like in the tutorials, I copied the root.zip to sd card, putted device in recovery mod, update from sd card, reboot, got super user on device but, no root acces, so i "unrooted" my device, to delete the unworking superuser, how do i make it work ? please help... In the tutorials there is nothing sayed about flashing( I don't know well this term I think it means installing operating sistem on device) I don't want to flash a nother operating sistem version of android, I just want to root my device. Make the superuser work, grant root acces for applications...
Video example of what i did [update data from sdcard] : youtube video /watch?v=rUSn0E_dWMg (and unrooted and tryed a lot of diferent root.zip files none worked... unrooted and wiped to factory settings after every fail...)

SO i need to flash cfroot kernel, afther that the superuser app will work fine, my device will have ropot acces, and apps that needs root acces will work? can i flash a cfroot kernel via recovery mod/ update from sdcard ?
1. Backup everything on your device
2. Do a factory reset
3. Apply upd_1.zip (for Gingerbread 2.3.5, 2.3.6, attachment)
4. Put all your files back.
Do not extract the zip file! Just select the .zip file from your SD card.
Tested: Galaxy Ace - 2.3.5 Stock

Do factory reset.
Don't install anything on the internal memory.
If you have any app that requires root access, delete them (ex: ROM Manager, Superuser etc.)
2 options:
Try the .zip file again
or
Use SuperOneClick ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 )
If you use SuperOneClick make sure you follow the steps.
You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode
You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.
If you still can't get something to run, try doing it in recovery mode.

Then try the .zip file or SuperOneClick.
EDIT: Make sure you enable Unknown Sources: Settings -> Applications -> Unknown sources
If the .zip files don't work, try this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1603273

I see that I allredy have the latest version on my ace...
Try to flash a 2.3.5 Stock. Most phones have 2.3.5 pre-installed. Install a ROM like CyanogenMod to get 2.3.7 and extra features when you are done rooting.
Get a 2.3.5 ROM at samfirmware.com
You need to register and all the .zip files have a password (pass: samfirmware.com)
EDIT: Backup everything from your SD card and format it. Put it back and try again.

Thanks for the reply Gilang, I've tried every version that I've found and given that I've done a factory reset and emptied all the caches I can find
there should be room, but I will look into that. Thing is, if you're right, how to make room?

Busybox binary/Busybox is available. Lonation/[/system/xbin/busybox]
Busybox applets/ BusyBox v1.20.2 Stericson. Busybox offers 204 applets
Viper if I was an ancient greek I'd build a temple to you Think I'll just hit lotsa thank buttons.

[Q] Cannot install null rom

Hi everyone.
First of all, i am sorry if my question has been answered somewhere. i have searched thoughout this and other sites and have asked in several threads, with no reply.
I have rooted my Gear (impactor) but my SU binary update just fails installation every time. Someone told me this is not fatal, so after 2 days, i tried the next steps and am able to load the null zip file, install it, but at the very end, with no error message, it reboots to download mode. everytime. at this point i have to use odin to load the stock recovery and start again.
No guide or comment in any thread suggests anyone has had this problem. As you can probably tell, this is all quite new to me, so I do understand that it could just be me doing something wrong, that others may take for granted.
Also, my null installation says i am installing onto a i9300 - is this normal?
1)How can i manually update the su binary (tried superuser, superuser fixer. busybox), and is that related to the rom not working?
2)Why does the installation get to the very end but then just reboot into download mode...?
I just want to be able to use this rom but nothing i try is letting me get past this stage. Any help would be appreciated massively.

Have you read the instructions ?
You need to flash the recovery first, then flash the rom. The rom is for THE GEAR, not your phone.
Right !!

Thanks for your reply.
I did read it, and i did follow it. Ive done almost nothing on my phone, and flashed the recovery(odin), moved the rom zip to the watch (adb or wondershare) - and then gone into recovery mode to install it.
Was this wrong? Or have i missed something important?

[ROM][SM-G900X] Custom Firmware for SM-G900X Live Demo Unit

Hello to you guys,
with this thread I wanna help people who get a Live Demo Unit of Galaxy S5 and wanna "unlock" it, removing Retail Mode and getting an official firmware on it. A Live Demo Unit is recognizable cause the phone has an "X" after the "SM-G900" signature.
Before start explain, I wanna remember to all that with a Live Demo Unit YOU CAN'T DO PHONE CALLS or TEXT MESSAGING due to its nature. So, this custom friwmare will transform your Live Demo Unit in a beautiful and complete Galaxy S5 "WiFi Version" .
Ok, lets do this!
What you need for a great job is:
Samsung USB Drivers on your PC
Odin, downloadable from here http://odindownload.com/ (vers. 3.09)
TWRP Recovery, .tar extension (here is the link for the download http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/klte)
Firwmare of your country. You can get it form sammobile.com. I've done this with the G900F version and I've tested only with it but I think this kind of guide works for all devices. Be sure to download the correct Firmware of your device!!
A program named "cgywin" for create your own firmware for the Live Demo Unit http://cygwin.com/setup.exe
Do this AT YOUR OWN RISK!! If you're not sure to have understand something, please do not go any further.
Ok, so let's start to explain what to do. If you'll follow step by step this procedure, you'll reach the goal for sure
First, I think is better to do a good and complete backup of your actual firmware and system. To do that follow those steps:
Install Samsung USB driver in your PC (if you don't have it already). Be sure that the phone is visible by your PC.
Turn off the device and go into Download mode (pressing VolDown+Home+Power).
Open Odin and connect your device to the PC.
Now flash the TWRP Recovery (select "AP" voice on Odin and choose TWRP .tar file you have already downloaded)
Ok, now you can do a Nandroid backup of your entire phone, including system, with Recovery. So, turn off the device and go into Recovery, then choose "Backup" and flag ALL the voices (so you'll be sure to backup all). Save it in external MicroSD so you can get it simply if you need it.
After the complete backup, it's time to "prepare" the custom firmware:
Install cgywin (for a complete guide for How To Install this program, Google it)
Download the right firmware for your device
Once file is downloaded you will have something looking like this G900FXXU1ANCE_G900FITV1ANC7_ITV (this is the one I've used)
Extract the .zip file to get an .md5
Rename it with like ldu900x.tar
Go into the folder were you've install cgywin and put the ldu900x.tar here
Now, launch cgywin.exe and type those command
$ tar --delete --file=ldu900x.tar NON-HLOS.bin
$ tar --delete --file=ldu900x.tar modem.bin
After that, the ldu900x should have only those files on it:
- boot.img
- cache.img.ext4
- hidden.img.ext4
- recovery.img
- system.img.ext4
If there are other files that are not those I've checked above, please delete them using the command $ tar --delete --file=samrom.tar FileName on cgywin as explained. The final .tar file gotta have only those 5 files I've listed above.
Once the final ldu900x.tar is ready, you can flash it with Odin.
Before the flash, use TWRP for a TOTAL WIPE of the device (including system but do not wipe the extSDcard). This is for to be sure that the device will be ready for a good and clear flash.
After the flash with Odin, reflash the TWRP Recovery (following the steps above) so you can do other backup or restore the old firmware if you need it.
Hope this guide can help all the guys who need to use their LDU completely (excluding calls and SMS as said). Personally my LDU doesn't have Private Mode, Finger Scanner, S-Health, UltraPowerSavingMode and other stuff, but with this "custom" firmware made by myself, now works ALL! :victory:
Bugs: The only thing that does not work here is the upgrading of SHealth Services that does not allow to upgrade it to SHealth 3.1 version. If anyone know how to solve this I appreciate
Thank you guys for your support and thanks to:
@Dees_Troy for TWRP
@Sirus2012 for have opened the way
@jopa7 for suggestions
Fell free to offer me a beer (or a meat can for my 5 cats )
Have a good flash to all!

You can install a superpower rom, mate. Install omega with omega kernel after root with chain CF auto root and install TRWP. Install latest omega zip via trwp chosing omega kernel too. You will get 37000 antutu score or more . By the way, GPS signal works
