[GT-I9070] Unble to root
Hello guys, hope you are well.
As I have less than 10 post, I came here to Q&A to seek for some assistance. The problem is that I cannot root my Samsung S Advance (GT-I9070), I am trying to do so with the method mentioned in the quote below. Basically, when I am in the "Recovery Mode" and when I go to the external storage to open the .zip file, the .zip file is not there...
Any clues?
Model Number:
GT-I9070
Android Version:
4.1.2
Baseband Version:
I9070UBLPK
Build Number:
JZO54K.I9070UBLPK

I finally managed to root JB. It is a hassle free process. No kernel changing required.
It doesn't increase the binary counter.
Download here : Root
How to :
1. Download the zip and place it in the root of your sd card.
PS : SD Card is a must.
2. Reboot to the stock recovery.
3. Select install update from external storage.
4. Select the root.zip file.
5. Viola
Enjoy your rooted JB.
Note : This method has been derived from a method to root SGS2. Thanks to Phil3759 and his thread.

Put that zip in the root of SD Card, not in some folder you have there.

Repartition your external SD card. http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
It is not formating, it is partitioning. Ofcourse backup files from it first.

Hi thank you for the help!
I have found the following app that might do it just with the cellphone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sylkat.AParted
Going to try it out!
EDIT:
I just finished rooting with the method posted. Thank you for the help, I do not understand why my previous FAT partition did not recognized the .zip file. I tried the method using the MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition and worked as a charm.
Thank you for everything
Regards!

noob to rooting
hello, I am a complete noob to rooting.
Although i have my s advance ( on stock jelly bean now ) since more then 2 years now, its only now that i have decided to install a custom rom ( kitkat 4.4 , cyanogenmod 11 to be precise ).
I have been reading around and have seen many people flashing new roms losing their imei no, efs, etc and also may sites advising making a nandroid backup of my current stock rom in case i want to return to it. And that we need to root our device to make up a nandroid and to back up our efs and imei no, etc.
Have also read thtat to go back to stock ROM after rooting, Supersu ( already comes with the package needed to root ) can help me do it just by clicking some buttons ( as easy as that )
So I had decided to root my device to get all the above and came to Shaan`s thread describing how to root s advance. And i read about this temp CWM recovery bit and need to partition my drive, etc.
Now my questions are
a) what is this temp CWM and what is the difference between temp CWM and permanent CWM?
b) Can I make a nandroid backup using the temp CWM?? And can i recover my stock rom if i need to get back to it?
c) Do i need to make a partition using this temp CWM? If so can i go back to the state of stock ROM when i want to revert to it?
d) CAn i make two different backup recoveries ? one of stock ROM and second of debloated rom ( i would like to get rid of samsung apps .
e) Where does the nandroid backup / recovery get stored on the phone?? on internal memory or external memory?? ( i have only a 1 gb micro sd card )?
f) after rooting and doing all of the above can i flash cm 11 kitkat rom or i need to get to unrooted status to do that??
Thanks in advance for the answers and sorry for all the noob questions.

To answer of points a - e is here.
To answer the points f: to be rooted, and already installed CWM while. Or if you want to install a permanently CWM when the stock ROM, then you must install a custom kernel After that, you can flash the CM11 or AOSP ROM.

the link provided was really helpful in clearing a lot of things except
a) what exactly is the difference between temp cwm and permanent cwm. Can i make a backup ( make a nandroid backup ) and make a recovery of the same in case i want to revert to it afterwards ?? ( I understand i will need to install the temp cwm again to do so ).
But will it give me a back up to make that recovery ??
And thanks a lot TPD-21

Of course you can make a backup since the first of installing CWM-temporary, until the permanent CWM. So the conclusion is that: CWM installed while in the stock ROM can be made to:
a). Make nandroid backup.
b). Restoring a backup Custom ROM and stock ROM and of course it's also included CWM.
c). As long as your device is rooted, and as long as it also CWM temporary or permanent at the time still in stock ROM can still be alive and doing everything you want.
Hope it helps. ?

what did you actually do? do you still have access to recovery / download mode? read carefully the instructions of the roms you try to flash , their prerequisites and so on.
also you should have first learnt how to use at least odin , flash quickly a custom kernel and obtain root to backup the important bits and pieces - there are a number of threads talking how to backup your efs folder for example.
good luck!
First of all, there is a questions section where you should post this.
2nd, change your title. Its annoying and exactly the reason why people wont help you.
3rd, read the stickies.
Hello,
A few moths ago i bought my first android device, the Galaxy Note. With time, i learned about rooting and instaling roms. I finally decides to root it, but i have some questions about it and i hope you could help me.
For root it, i will follow the steps of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
And i choose to root stock ICS with safe kernel (what does that mean? I search but it's still not clear to me)
There, it says that i have to download a file according to the installed rom here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
The info of my note is:
ICS 4.0.4 N7000XXLRB
Kernel 3.0.15-N7000XXLRI-CL811902
So according to the second thread, one of the following files should work:
XXLRK
XXLRL
XXLRT
XXLRU
XXLRW
But I don't know exactly which one? Does it matter?
Now, evidently after this i will try to flash a rom (after i learn how to do it, altough i already have an idea, i just have to choose the rom)
My question here, is it possible (before flashing the new rom) to backup the actual rom? (not necesarily the apps since i can install them again) so i could install it afterwards in case of anything that could go wrong or if i don't like the new rom, etc. I guess that a factory reset with the flashed rom will not work.
I hope you could help me.
BR,.
Check the build number of your rom in about phone section ...check the last 3 letters and choose the kernel from the 2nd link you provided.
put it on ext sd and flash from stock recovery and done,
done you boot .. again boot into recovery and this time you will see cwm-philz.
go to backup and restore and do a backup ... this will backup your entire ROM all apps and data.
Hi, thanks for your answer.

That's exactly what i'm asking, according to the post and if you look the 3 letters, any of the ones i put before could work, can i choose any, or i have to consider other things?

THANKS!!, this is what i was looking for.
So afterwards i install this backed up rom as any custom rom out there?
BR,
It's the last 3 letters not start 3 letters. So if you rom build number is LRK then LRK. You have not mentioned your rom build number. There are no options.
Yes once backup done, you can follow the procedure and flash custom roms

I see, but the author of that post said that you can mix builds as long as they are similar, like LRK with LRI or so... but not LRK with ABC for example... that's why i asked that... And what do i do if my buid number is not there?
Yes that's true. Ics kernels are compatible with other versions too. Like ddlr9 can be used on xxlrt
i see, but then wich one i choose, or i can use any?
can you see your rom build number there..? if not then you can use LRK or LRT
OK, thank you so much...
i forgot, how do i do to install the backup?
You mean restore?

Hello, I just root my note... :victory:
Now, I tried to do a backup, but i got an error... i think that's probably for lack of space in my external sdcard... i just have a little bit under 500Mb...
How much space will the backup take? Can i do the backup in the sdcar in the phone?
Could depend on data
Stock ones are usually 700-1Gb
Choose the option of backup to internal sd
hi, thanks again.
Trying to free space in my ext sdcard, i found a new folder clockwordmod... i guest that is what i just installed...
Inside of it, there are 2 folders: blobs (520Mb) and backup (16 Mb)...
I guest i must not touch the blobs folder, but cai i delete the backup content, i'm guesing it contains the failed backup i just do...
After freeing space (2.5Gb free) int the ext sdcard, i've trying to do the backup, but know i get this error...
backing up data...
error while making a backup image of /data!
And it stops... I don't think is a space problem, right?
clear the memory so that there is enough space. delete the blobs and clockworkmod folder
boot into recovery. go to backup and restore and make the default backup format to tar and not dup. then do a bakcup
Hello everybody,
First of all: I have rooted some devices before, often in very bad conditions (Softbricked ones, simlocked and branded ones et cetera). However, all of them were not mine.
My smartphone is the Samsung Galaxy Note w/o branding or simlock but with the original Samsung software.
There wasn't really a reason to root my phone up to the point when it broke down (ergo: Shut itself down, reinstalled everything) on one day a few months ago, since that day, my phone has got a really, really bad battery life, apps are destroyed and it is pretty slow. Built-in obsolescence, as I won that phone when it was released, so I got the earliest version.
Because of this, I want to root dat phone and install dat cyanogen-shizzle.
All the phones I rooted before were rooted with my untested and never-recommended method of rooting it with a exploit on the phone, putting up clockworkmod via rom manager and then flashing cyanogen. Sometimes the phone was going crazy, but it always worked, every phone is working way better than ever before.
However, I read some real horror-stories about hardbricks on the Note as Samsung did some really bad work as always. (My next phone will be a Nokia Lumia anyway.)
So, what I wanted to ask: Can I root my phone and then install clockworkmod via ROM manager and then install the ROM via Clockworkmod without being exposed to an enormously high risk of a hard brick? My phone is currently on Android version 4.1.2.
I checked the phone with "Got Brickbug" and yes, I'm having it.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance,
M24o (No, this name is not inspired by a weapon..)
Best, easiest and hassle free way to get root and custom recovery is to download the philz kernel (the one corresponding to your ROM):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
you can do wipe, flash any custom rom, backup, restore and many more things on this.
Edit: download the zip file, put on ext sd, go to recovery select install zip from external storage, choose philz .zip file and that is it.

Thank you, I've just read the thread, what I really like about it is that I can flash it from the phone. Thanks alot for this, those threads are the ones I am always looking for hours (and then find them) to make rooting bearable for my.
Thank you!
I was following this thread here: [IMPORTANT][GUIDE] What to do after you have bought your Galaxy S3 4G GT-I9305? and I got a bit lost in part 6.
I've done following:
1. Kies and drivers and on PC
2. IMEI/NV backed up on PC (USB modes set forth and back)
3.-4. Rooted and CWM recovery installed
5. Nandroid backup taken on external SD
6. Soo I got my backups secured in 2 locations..but what now?.. It says I have to go to part 2 and continue where I left off?
quote:
"Remember where you left off in 2nd step above? Well now you can go back and complete the partition backup of the efs folders. You should be left with 4 backup files for this final section of the backup process >>> http://splashurl.com/o7hwdsr"
But there is no mention of efs folders in part 2-link. I'm confused. I'm not native english speaker, so that messes up things sometimes.
BTW I did install Cerberus ROM at some point (Don't ask me why. Love the features, but don't know if there's any benefit it being flashed).
So I'm Rooted, CWMed and installed Cerberus ROM. I guess I have no stock ROM anymore?
And last: Is there a place you can search stock ROMs?

My first language is English and I didn't quite get it either. But following all the steps gave me nandroid backup and i think the qcn file is good enough for you to restore. seeing as you managed to flash a rom I guess you're all good. I was following the steps too and after I didn't get that part I just went ahead and flashed ROM, had no problems, maybe it was an edit error and guide maker forgot to add in something?
Difficult but reads as backup EFS to me and its no harm to have more than one backup .
So I'm Rooted, CWMed and installed Cerberus ROM. I guess I have no stock ROM anymore?
Correct.

Hello, i'm newbie here, trying to learn some stuff, i searched the forum but i couldn't find it, i think this page is most appropriate to post it here.
Well i want to flash a custom rom, but my first attempt went not good for me. I've lost my imei and panicked, anyway by flashing stock sony rom i recovered it.
Now i unlocked my bootloader again (it was locked again after i flashed my stock firmware back), rooted my phone, and learned that nandroid app can make a full backup, and even i screw things up (except hard bricking i guess), that backup will save me. So i downloaded it made a full back up, but it says "back up type: clockwork or TWRP,"
And i heard that TWRP is not for Xperia Z1. Thats why i decided to not install it,
Then i installed clockwork rom manager, it said "this app requires clocwork recovery", but i couldnt find a appropriate version of clockwork recovery, the ones i found on play store were for android 4.0.4, and mine is 4.4.4
You guys probably understand that i know almost nothing about this stuff, (i have only got what i read form forums), so what should i do, which version of clockwork should i install or is there any other supported apps that i can use my nandroid backup?
Soka, i checked your link but couldnt be sure about which link should i click.
And another question, do i still need titanium backup while i have nandroid?
Thanks in advance
My device is C6903

CWM Recovery
There two methods:
1. Unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel (Bootloader Unlock is required for flashing custom roms which are not stock based; for example cyanogenmod)
-> with a custom kernel you have cwm and often twrp also.
2. check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/development/newroot-z1-t2807092
maybe you have to flash .108 kernel to use newroot, after rooting you can flash the actually kernel from your firmware....

Hi there bro...
In the Link ...
Check this out ...
http://prntscr.com/4ow7hp ... download the one the red arrow is pointing at. Unzip and run BAT file. When Prompted onscreen connect device to PC.
This will install recoveries and an app called NDR Utils. With this app you can choose the primary recovery of your choice.
I prefer using Philz...(CWM) based. Important rule i've always followed make backups ( Nandroid).
