In the end I found it fairly easy to root my samsung epic 4g galaxy sph-d700 but the documentation was a bit tricky (because some of it was based on odin rather than heimdall, it wasn't always clear where to get ROM's, how ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM) fits into the picture, etc.).
(1) Install heimdall on the computer running ubuntu (heimdall is a program that will flash ROM's to the phone) apt-get install heimdall-flash
(2) Download to the computer the latest CWM and an appropriate, i.e., pre-rooted, ROM from an archive such as that of kennyglass123. BML ROM's may be easier for beginners than are MTD ROM's. The ROM should be matched to the phone, which means both the hardware and the system it is replacing. I used cwm-5.0.2.7-epic4g.tar (ClockWorkMod Recovery; extract its contents) Deodexed-FC09-BML.zip (a ROM and system for the android phone; leave the file zipped)
(But ThePeoplesROMv2.22_BML.zip has also been recommended and there are others in circulation).
(3) Connect the android phone to the computer via USB cable; the phone should show up on the desktop as a removable disk. Transfer the ROM file (Deodexed-FC09-BML.zip) from the computer to the sd card of the phone (just as you would transfer any file, e.g., an mp3, by drag and drop or by copying from the command line from/to the appropriate directory).
(4) On the computer extract recovery.bin from the CWM tarfile tar xvf cwm-5.0.2.7-epic4g.tar (I renamed recovery.bin to cwm5_recovery.bin to remind myself what it is.)
(5) Disconnect and turn off the phone and restart the phone in Download mode by turning off the phone and turning it on while holding down the number "1" on the physical keyboard. "Download" mode starts (black screen with yellow triangle with worker digging).
(6) Connect the phone to the computer by USB cable. From the computer use heimdall to flash the CWM file to the phone as a recovery file. Flashing is not the same as file transfer: phone must be in Download mode and the heimdall program must be used to flash the file onto the phone's ROM. The command is:
heimdall flash --recovery cwm5_recovery.bin
(7) Disconnect the phone and restart phone with on/off, camera, and volume-down buttons ("three-fingered salute"). Hold all three buttons until the lighted buttons at the bottom of the phone turn on. Phone will start in "Recovery" mode with a menu of 7-10 items.
(8) Navigate the Recovery menu with the volume up/down keys and select items with the camera button. Select item "Install zip from sdcard". Navigate file menu to choose Deodexed-FC09-BML.zip (or another zipped ROM file you have selected). ROM will install.
(9) When the Recovery mode menu returns, select "Reboot phone" and the phone should boot (slowly the first time) to the new ROM and be rooted. There will be a new "Superuser" app on the phone and you should be able to install apps from the Play Store that require root privileges.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't know what's wrong with my phone, but the screen display is messed up. Sometimes, the screen will display if I keep clicking the power button one-hundred times, but other than that it won't budge. Everything thing else works when I press the power button, the keyboard lights up, the home button and other buttons light, just not the screen. Like I said, I have to repeatedly press the power button so that in a slight chance, the screen might display.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI rooted my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G and then decided to unroot it. I was using Odin3 v1.85 and about half way through it failed and the phone restarted. Instead of booting into the OS is just displayed a message saying
Quote:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again
. When I put it into Downloaded Mode it says
Quote:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-i9100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
And when I plug it in to to my computer to try to unroot it again, it would not recognize the phone, it did not appear in device manager. I tried two different cables, two different computers, and re-installed the drivers.
I have the Galaxy Tab P1000L
I been trying to root it with Superoneclick and with DoomLord Zergrush, I keep failing all attempts, as I did research on this, I found out some info that says it is not possibe to root Gingerbread 2.3.6 (what I have) and that I need to dowgrade to 2.3.5 or to froyo (which is it?) , but SamMobile does not have Froyo available for download anymore...
So basically, I need to know how to root 2.3.6, main reason is I want to be able to change my Tab's HotSpot channel, and I read that this is only possible on a rooted GTab.
( Secondary question: On a quick note, is it possible to upgrade to HoneyComb/is it worth it?)
rooting Samsung Galaxy Fame Duos S6812?
I've tried all the methods I could find including Motochopper,SRS root, Oneclick root, Framaroot,etc. to no avail
I even tried flashing SuperSU through Stock Recovery ( Yes! I was that desperate)
There are no custom kernels or CWM for my device.
I upgraded my Galaxy 551 to Gingerbread 2.3.6. All went well. Unfortunately it seems to be a common side effect that the Z and Y keys (and some others) get swapped. The fix is apparently to modify the file /system/usr/keychars/sec_keypad.kcm.bin. The ideal thing is to put the old file from before the FW update back in, but of course I don't have that anymore! But the existing one can apparently be altered. If I can copy it to the SD card I can alter it in a hex editor and put it back.
So, I rooted my phone with that one click application, and that went OK too. I installed root explorer and found the file. There were also some others in the same folder I may be able to use. But, I cant make the folder R/W (pressing the button does nothing) so cant do anything with the file. I also tried Super Manager with no luck.
My phone doesn't want to turn on anymore. What should i do? I tries multiple battery, but i think its the phone its self. Also my charging port doesn't work.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI originally rooted my S4 using the ODIN3 v3.07 and CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5 method.
I then unrooted, using the settings to fully unroot in SuperSU app, to try and get an official update (which obviously didn't work).
I can't seem to re-root using the same method, probably because ODIN flash is still on my phone.
