Hi guys, this is my first tut here, about an alternative way for rooting my S6500D...
Q : Why do I need this? There is a better and easy way already using CWM....
A : This tut will only give you root access, without a busybox, CWM, etc. If you want Root+BB+CWM, please follow an other TUTs.
Okey, Here we go...
This TUT is based on "poot" exploit created by giantpune from androidforums.com (We should thanks him/her)
He/She create this exploit for LG Optimus Elite originally, but mod it to work for several phone model.
He said that this exploit will work on android version 2.3.5 - 2.3.7. Thats why I try this on Jena
Giantpune from androidforums, posted original application and some modded apk to work with other phone.
To respect his work and his thread, I only attached a working apk that root my Mini 2.
And provide his thread's link, so you can download all poot apks from there, thanks him and his team, and maybe donating him.
Here is the link : http://androidforums.com/elite-all-things-root/612914-optimus-elite-root-apk.html
Requirement :
- poot-debug.apk for h866c (Huawei ascend Y). I tried another version, but fail.
- Ministro II. You can download it from Playstore.
- Please remove your SD card.
Step by step :
1. Install Ministro II from Play Store.
2. Install poot-debug.apk for h866c. I already attached it.
3. Create Poot shortcut to Home.
4. Turn on USB Debugging in the Settings>Application>Developement
5. Open Poot, it will request to download some Ministro library. This library needed by poot to work. You will need an internet connection.
6. After all library downloaded, close Poot. Its better to reboot our phone first.
7. Let the phone boot completely. If you have much app installed, kill all running app, so nothing can interrupt this exploit.
8. Open Poot, tap "Press Here to Poot" button.
- If the phone reboot suddenly, try again this step.
- If Poot app show an error log, like error : 87 or 22, reboot your phone and try again.
- If it still fail, try to reboot your phone. When lockscreen showed up, immediately unlock it while system scanning storage. Open Poot quickly (thats why I want you to put a shortcut in home). Then tap "Press Here to Poot".
9. If Poot show log like "successfully push su file to /system/xbin...bla..bla...bla", then you have successfully rooted your phone.
10. After a successful poot, Poot will show 3 option:
- Get Superuser = it will open Play Store straightly to Superuser by ChainsDD page. Install it to manage root access.
- Get Root Checker Basic = it will open Play Store to Root Checker Basic page. If you want to check root access using this app, download it.
- Built-in Root Checker = Instead of download Root Checker Basic, you can use this built in feature.
11. After Superuser installed, dont forget to update su binary file from it.
12. Its done!!! now you have a rooted Mini 2.
Note: I have tested original poot for LG Optimus Elite, Cherry W100, and PCD Venture without success. If your phone can not be rooted with poot for h866c, I advice you to try another versions.
The advantage of this method :
- This method of rooting will not increase your custom bin, because you dont need to flash CWM.
- You dont need a PC to root Jena.
Disadvantage :
- You need to install/download Superuser by ChainsDD + BusyBox manually. This exploit only push su file (Superuser's su file by ChainDD) to /system/xbin.
Note: If you want to flash CWM, we need to wait mobile Odin compatible with our device. Therefore, if you want CWM very badly...I suggest you to flash it using PC.
Credits:
- giantpune from androidforums.com, who made the exploit.
- me, who try and test this exploit on Jena all night long :crying:
PM me, if someone should be listed on Credits
Really nice, very god man. But Triangle Away is working for our phones so there's no problem regarding bin counter
Thanks man
Yup, triangle away worked as you said. But I never try it yet tho. I bought a new Jena 1month ago, and I dont want to loose my warranty.
Thats why I search another way to root safely, without worries
Maybe this tuts dedicated for someone like me, who didnt have a PC or notebook yet.
Well that's something new. Portable rooting where you're in a car without CWM?
In all seriousness, it's great to see great things show up for our Jena, like this and MIUI, and TWRP, and CM 10, and OC Kernels, and many other stuff.
It's you people who make this phone awesome.
I have a question, is the "su" binary the latest one?
Yup, we hope Jena community will grow up like mini I
No, it is not. We need to update it to the latest version, after Superuser installed.
Iam still figuring out how to migrate to CWM superuser tho. Its Open Source, and looks like better security.
BusyBox can be installed downloading Busybox installer from play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
and maybe CWM can be installed with mobile odin (i don't know)
i am saying this because I am an admin of a spanish blog and many people ask us for a way to root and install CWM without PC,
Maybe I miss spelling something...
Or you dont understand what I mean
I mean superuser.apk by clockworkmod, or koush's superuser.
If I want CWM, I will not root using this method
Yup, thats busybox installer that I mean
I was only thinking in a way to install CWM for users that don't have PC. I am a admin of a Spanish blog and many people want it.
And in sOme other devices ROM MANAGER can install CWM. maybe it's possible with mobile Odin or rom manager, I guess
Rom Manager can brick the mini 2, because it's not compatible with mini 2 I think.

Yup, i heard that rom manager can brick mini 2.
My best bet is mobile odin.
It is compatible with ace plus.
And mini 2 almost the same with ace plus.

I am dumping info now via mobile Odin app. I will put it in mobile Odin xda thread, so chainfire can develop it for our phone
Please, can other person do the same? Cause I've squadzone kernel installed

Now I am dumping information for chainfire(with that he could make odin compatible). You can do it installing mobile odin app
Ive done that too. Already dump and send it to chainfire thread.
Just wait him to make it work with our device

Finally, I didn't send it because I am using squadzone's kernel, so maybe it's different
But maybe it'll be useful to send one using CM10 (is more compatible)
I read somewhere that mobile Odin works on Ace Plus which has exactly the same partition layout as Mini 2. Also, since we don't need any specific file which contains the info about our partition layout (like ops file for some devices) while flashing something, it's pretty generic therefore mobile odin should work.

Finally, a confirmation from a genious person
Maybe yes sir, it should work for our device.
But chainfire's mobile odin wont let us use it, if our device is not compatible.
Maybe, just maybe, (I dont know how it work ) mobile odin read our build.prop and compare them to it's device compatibility database.
If those not match, it just showing black screen, and an intructions to dump a log, then close it self.
Hopes he/she make it worked for Mini2 someday

write private msg to chainfire mayby he do MO for Jena, but in OP chainfire i see many spam and hm 4 post from galaxy mini 2 users, this device is not popular and low range so chainfire do not even think about develop app to this phone. its my opinion...
well, yes, this is not popular. For reference, my latest CM10 build for Mini 1 is downloaded like 20k times. When I uploaded the first CM10 build in the first day it got 5k downloads. Mini 2 barely get 1k downloads in months. Mini 1 is quite popular, even after 2 years of its release. Perhaps it will change after camera is fixed.

well some of the users really is concerned about the camera, so they stick with Stock Rom.
but for us user whose not using the camera (crap for taking picture) CM10 is really great.

V3 Bluetooth
I too used the V3 tool to root but at the end my phone wouldn't recognize the Gear. I ended up wiping everything, used the V1 then the V2 and finally got the gear back to where I could use it. Did the OTA and all seems okay. Going to try an root using V2 instead. My question is once that is all successful what can I do different? Can I download a keyboard onto the Gear? As a NOBE where do I go to find a new ROM , find out how to flash it and then what I can do from there? I will apologize upfront for my beginner questions. Thanks

APK Apps aren't working?
I installed Nova Launcher and Flesky Keyboard and each time I try to use them on the Gear Live I get this message "unfortunately Nova Launcher has stopped". Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong or need to do to be able to use these apps on my Gear Live?
Did you have time to test it with the recent 5.0.1 update? I'd love to use your Utility to restore my watch to its factory state but I'm not sure if it would break (I know, there's always a chance).
Do you think I can try flashing the images without damaging it?
Used V3 of this utility to flash stock image after of temp rooting for data extraction. Now it won't pair with any phone anymore. No Bluetooth. Can't get adb to work as I can't authorize the computer to flash anything else.
Watch is a useless now. Heads up to others.
At leat I have an excuse to buy a Moto now
UPDATE: IT LIVESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
So I didnt know that the watch could go into fastboot with some custom taps and such. Did those, got into fastboot, used V2 toolkit and all is well now!!!
How to for others:
1. Hold the power button until the Gear Live reboots
2. When you see the Samsung Logo on the screen swipe your finger from top left to bottom right of screen twice while still holding power
Success!!!!!!!!!!
No Download
Hey all,
Am I the only one who is not getting a ZIP file when the download starts; the file that downloads is not usable. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Galaxy Gear Unauthorized
I am not able to pair phone with watch via Bluetooth after using this tool. I unlocked the bootloader but when I could not use the watch I decided to relock the bootloader and reattempt the steps again. Now I am getting (R3AF700JARM UNAUTHORIZED). I factory reset watched became a developer and enable ADB debugging, but I still cannot unlock the bootloader and still shows unauthorized. WHat is the next step
I cannot get it to recognize my watch
I purchased a Samsung Gear Live refurbished off amazon and it had Build Number = sprat-userdebug 4.4W.1 KGW42N 1387258 dev-keys installed. It will not update and I want to be able to put other watch faces on it. I heard that if you reset to stock google wear it would fix it.But I used your software v3 and installed adb drivers but does not recognize the watch?
Any help would be Great!!!

Superuser.apk in my Gear Live
Hello.
After using the Tool, I was able to restore my Gear Live, and get updates (Originally it comes with bad firmware, from bestbuy).
I only have one problem. After several updates, I have AndroidWear 5.1.1. I got OTAS from 4.4w, justo normally, but the process
left me with Superuser.apk installed.
I can't uninstall it, and if I try to run it, I get an error, and the apk closes.
Is there something I can do, to eliminate this app? I tried with temproot, but I can't access to original system folder in my Gear Live.
Can you, or anyone help me with this problem?
I flashed KMV78Ystock.zip. In theory, it is a stock rom dump. I can't see the Superuser.apk, if I mount the image.
I just want my Gear Live factory restored. I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance!

Did you try removing via adb? In theory, a factory reset of watch and flash image again it should clear non stock files

Gear Live watch only shows TWRP menu from team win
So i am not a programmer and don't know most of this stuff, I just followed instructions. I installed root, recovery, and system images through cmd prompt. I lost bluetooth and other functionallity but it seemed to update to a newer version. I then attempted to flash TWRP which put my phone in a state that only shows the TRWP menu. I have restarted, rebooted, tried installing other images but i really don't know what to do. Can anyone help, Please!
I have a note 5 phone

I have Samsung Galaxy S Plus I9001 running Android Gingerbread 2.3.6.
I wanted to encrypt the phone, but I cannot find any option to do so in the settings.
I read that Android phones had the option of encryption from Android 2.3.4, and so, there should be an option available, but I cannot find any.
So, question is, how can I encrypt the device?
My phone is having the stock ROM, but is rooted.
Hmm.. no reply.
Well, I did take a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/themes-apps/app-enable-device-encryption-exchange-t1405165
I even unrooted my phone, and performed a factory reset to run the above mentioned app... but now I find that the links in the above thread for the app lead nowhere.
In my search a few days ago, I think I somehow found the above app in the Play Store, but at that time I was looking for something else. Now I cannot find the app. Can anyone please direct me to it?
Or, if there is any other method to encrypt the phone, please share.
