Pardon me if I posted on wrong section, and if this question has been asked too much.
Iam new to samsung android phone, moving from my xperia 2011 lost phone.
Regarding root, anyone had found a method like galaxy young methods?
Via update.zip I mean...
And why we cant flash them on this device?
Maybe someone had a problem with play store.
If we open an app screenshot, and slide it, this phone will vibrate, then the screenshot's gallery will close.
Then back to app's page.
I dont know which one was the problem, phone firmware, playstore, or my phone hardware?
Can anyone help me?
this one use flashable zip

i got that problem, it's first and not last bug in this phone
dont worry its not a big problem, stop using full screen photos in play store and problem gonna out.
Mini 2's stock recovery only allows Samsung signed .zips to be flashed. So you must have a custom recovery to root
That's all the answer
Can I ask more question?
So we need Samsung signed zip file, right?
Is it possible if we steal those zip from Samsung OTA update file?
Like CWM signed zip file maybe...
Adding root file...and edit the script, something like that?
Just asking, maybe I should read more about samsung's android articles...
Its shame there are no update for our phone till now tho... T.T
This forum community never let me down. Thank guys
Note : Admin, please move my thread to mini 2 general/FAQ section if they had been created.
to root you must flash CWM (squadzone/mb14) using odin, and flash root using those CWM
or
you can search for pre-root stock rom and flash it via odin
btw since you are indonesian, why you didn't join galaxy mini 2 facebook group where indonesian user discuss about this device:

I'm using this thread to root my ace and it says 'Search for chinoray and clockwordmodace.zip.' I have done this on original android development, android development, general thread, Q&A thread and Google and have been unable to obtain it, could someone plz tell me where this is. Also is this still the best method to root the ace as that thread is a couple of years old thank you in advance.

I'm sending you these to files in the attachment.Download and transfer them both to ur sdcard.
Then go to recovery mode by pressing Power + home button simultaneously.
Then select "apply from sd card" and select the upd_1.zip file (and remember to move up and down use the vole keys and to select ..home button)
okay so now your phone is rooted now ..if you want to install cwm do the same go to "apply update from sd card" and select recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip file and select YES ! Done !
thank you for your help however i have found out the model number is GT s5830i so ill use this method instead http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551156

i forgot which section i was in when i posted the question. my apologies.
and i did do a search. my search did not pull up that link. thanks for your help though.
Man I wish our bootloader wasn't locked. I'm also on same boat as OP. We'll have to wait until NC2 gets rooted. I wish AT&T or Samsung just release a full system NC2 image for Odin so we can just use Odin to re-flash to factory clean state.
In the meantime, please sign the petition to unlock our bootloader if you haven't yet.

When I had AT&T HTC One (M7), after getting S-OFF, I could flash to Google edition or any edition, and even get stock OTA updates. I hated the build quality of that phone though.
I'm requesting someone find the Odin files to flash to an i537 model for KitKat 4.4.2, as I can't find it anywhere. If I can't, I'll go to Samsung at Best Buy and uh..... Ask for the Odin files(they use Odin there XD)
Please help as ODIN is the only way I have been able to update, OTAs fail and recovery install from cache, external SD fails. Everything but Odin fails, so anybody help?

SGH-i537 AT&T running 4.3 Official Unrooted Stock

Have you tried flashing the 4.3 firmware then flashing the OTA? At this time I don't think they have released a full Odin 4.4.2

Yeah, I tried it all my friend, I need the Odin files.
yes i too in fact need the odin files asap. I know nobody likes being asked for ETA's but how long does it usually take to get the ODIN files?

Considering we never got the Odin files for MF2 or MF3, we may never get Odin files for NC9.
Just do a hard reset (VOL+/HOME/POWER), boot your phone then do a Factory reset from within the phone with selecting format SD card option (back your stuff up!). Then go back, enable USB debugging and flash the stock ML2 firmware EXCEPT for the BL file! then re-enable USB debugging and download the 2400258.cfg file from here, rename it to update.zip and flash it via stock recovery, problem solved. As for the ODIN files, here's a good read on why @Devo7v is right with his assessment on not ever seeing them. More info on the stock SGH-i537 firmware here.

How are you forcing the update through Odin? We don't have the Odin files for 4.4.2, so I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean you can only flash the 4.3 files with Odin and you cannot get the cfg file to flash through stock recovery?

Yes, sorry for the confusion. I forced 4.3 through ODIN and the cfg file doesn't work, in all possible ways. And it won't work when renamed to update.zip either.

Did you check the MD5 to make sure that it downloaded properly? My suggestion would be to download it with a computer, rename it to "update.zip" on a computer, copy it to your internal memory on the phone, and flash it through stock recovery. This should work, what errors do you get when you try to flash it? You're on stock 4.3 when you try to update, correct? In order to flash the OTA you cannot be rooted or have modified the system in any way.

Good advice and I'll further add make sure when you rename the 2400258.cfg that you have known file extensions enabled and then right click and highlight the entire file "2400258.cfg" and then rename that to "update.zip"
Trust us, this will work.

I'm almost positive you're doing something wrong since you're the only one that is having this problem. I know @jkeuclid has already walked one person through this process step-by-step, I don't want to speak for him but he'd probably be willing to do the same for you.

Thank you. UPDATE-
I checked, my Baseband version and Build Number don't match.... MF1 vs. ML2. So that could be presenting some of the problem. I'm going to try to find a partition file for stick 4.3 then rehash everything through ODIN and attempt an update. Any other suggestions anyone?

Did you ever figured this out? I'm having the same issue. Can't update using the cfg file.
Just my quess but the OP and others in this thread have possibly problem understanding relationship of Odin with Stock Recovery
If your phone is stock 4.3 and you have the 444 MB update renamed to update.zip already moved over to microSD card.....
See if this little video helps you

I somehow screwed up a flash and now I have no OS installed but I can boot to Safestrap recovery. Any ideas on how to get the OS loaded? I'm going to see if I have an micro SD to SD converter so I can load the OS there and try to flash via external SD. Is there another way? Thanks!

I had the same issue, and tried flashing multiple times via the external SD. Unfortunately, given that I got to your current situation by wiping everything but the external SD, it still wouldn't work. I flashed multiple times, but it always just said that it couldn't mount /data and /system. I ended up doing the MJ5 Restore found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715
Trouble is, now I can't seem to get back to KK for the life of me....good luck!

The home file is all 4 files in 1. Just use the 4 individual files to install original NC2 firmware and wipe at the same time. Ignore the home file.

Yes that would be correct. Using the home file is like using all 4 files only the home file doesn't wipe before installing. It installs firmware like an ota update would. I thought using the 4 files would reset you, and give you a clean install.

see if you can fix it using the link in the above post if not let me know and I will back up my stock ATT KK 4.4.2 NC2 in safe strap after factory reset and I can send it to you. You can flash that and see if that works.
And what I understand is you started from stock 4.4.2 NC2 and than you towel root than installed SU and busybox and than installed the SS . After you went into SS, did you wipe the stock rom slot? Can you please explain in detail including each step so we know.
