Can anyone confirm that the rooting instructions for the i9152 from the link below actually work or not. I'm very hesitant to root as there has been no feedback if the root works or not.

It work, but very very difficul to you because you can not see any thing due to recovery problem.
All thing you can do is guess what's on your screen :laugh:. It take me 3hr to guess, now my Mega 5.8 is rooted.

Bro,
Could you share what you did to install it? is the cwm all d same?
I have just tried to follow the referenced procedure. There is a serious issue with the CWM Recovery. It installs ok, but then you cannot read its menu on the screen. It shows a wave of badly distorted lines that are totally unreadable. Now I see why oldmanhp had to guess what those unreadable lines mean. I wonder if CWM actually tested it! I did not want to guess anything, so I flashed back stock recovery and left rooting for now.
Unfortunately no, it doesn't work although it won't brick your phone whatsoever, your phone just won't have recovery. In case you already flashed, just flash back the stock recovery via Odin in PDA. However, a root and cwm is already available for Galaxy Mega 6.3 I9205 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369998

Brother, it is pretty dodgy when you can't read any of the menu or sub-menu items. First, the exact order of the menu items is not consistent and depends on the particular Recovery version. Secondly, when it comes to navigating your device's folder structure to pick the exact file, and you cannot read anything, that is tough. I must say you're great to have navigated your way through! I'll wait for a CWM recovery useable by mere mortals.

Now i have a rooted phone
Does any one know if cyanogenmod is being developed for this ?
Stock ROM is pretty bad, samsung has disabled Move to SD, I have to use softwares to map folders from Phone to SD.
Samsung is slowly increasing bloatwares and removing good features, also USB mass storage is not available.
I will have to be more carefull next year while choosing a phone

I mean to say why use software for enabling each function, when they are available by default in android.
Why go for Samsung's bloated and restricted Firmware.. When Micromax has better ROM ?
My S Plus had more functionality than Mega 5.8.
You certainly have to give up Quality side, but you will get more functionality in less price with Micromax.
Any way my average phone use is 1.5 years at max. Macromax can last that long, even 1 year is a good bargain.

Yes no usb mass storage.. only PTP and MTP mode.. if windows driver correctly installed MTP mode should be no problem showing your portable device icon GT-I9152 with phone & card storage. Only missing Move to sdcard function.

Hi, my Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3.
My device is bought in Singapore.
Its my first time rooting my device.
Ran into a problem that I couldn't turn on my wifi anymore. (tried wifi fixer app and turning airplane mode on and off)
I have successfully rooted my device as verified with the Root Checker App.
I have downloaded all the files from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2330598
I should done all steps correctly.
After I have done those steps, I downloaded Simons_JB_Rom_v100_based_on_AMH1.zip
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2374899
Transferred it into my phone then I proceeded on installing the Custom ROM.
I've backed up my stuffs through the the recovery.
I have reset my phone to factory settings, wiped the cache partition, wiped Delvik cache.
I did a restart but i did not see any "Yellow exclamation logo".
After all, I proceeded on to install the ROM.
I cant turn on my wifi from now on. I've tried to download the "Wifi Fixer" app but it wont work.
I got a feeling that I have not erased my previous stock ROM but I proceeded on to installing the custom ROM.
Any kind souls out there who can help me or give me some links that I could refer to?
Thank you in advance! :fingers-crossed:

You need to do a complete wipe and install a stock rom and verify if the phone works. If it does then start again with rooting etc. If not return it for a replacement or repair.

Just install the custom Rom over the top of the old one, no need to do factory reset or wipe anything. The custom roms are based on stock anyway.
Try that and see how it goes.

I have same problem like you, and I finally fail back to stock rom of my region. Then get the root access and delete all bloatware.
So any update of your case, maybe we have the same root cause
I know that this thread is very old but I didn't want to make a new topic on something that was similiar to the problem I was having, apoliges if making a new thread was the right thing. I just really need you all's help.
I'm in need of some assistance.
I have my Galaxy Mega on Metro Pcs. Woke up today and decided to root it or at least ( attempt ) to root it myself. I looked up a couple tutorials and eventually did it. BUT, due to me being inexperienced I didn't make a "backup" of anything.
So now, I'm stuck with a Galaxy Mega that seems to be rooted on another platform other than Metro's. I also am unable to use the Wifi feature, and it seems that I can't transfer files via USB - PC
I tried reverting my mistake but I don't think I'm flashing the right thing. Can someone please guide me in the right direction as to flashing this Mega back to the way it was. I don't want to bother with the root anymore, I just want the phone back to the way it was.
I'd really appreciate any help you gentlemen could give me.

Why would I you need this:
1-You want the 4.2.2 FW 'Alors Voila'
2-You bootlooped or other reason and you don't have a Nandroid / Backup. and No yet official Firmware for Canadian Carrier and you surely don't want to send it to Samsung So you can do this one.
3-Cause I Want it
what its not working:
the Phone ( trying to fix it )
Force Close:
S Note flash the csc so snote won't forceclose . Download
If with the download its still not working so add it manually and put the permission
For files permissions is

And reboot
Download:
4.2.2 i467M Only ( Canadian 4G Lte Note 8.0 )
Beside you wont see the developer submenu so u cant click on debug. but they're still on the phone, so nobody freak out. Google hasn't taken the "developer" out of its Nexus line, and it's not going to anytime soon. But the settings have been hidden from casual view in the settings menu. Here's how to get them back:
1. Go to the settings menu, and scroll down to "About phone." Tap it.
2. Scroll down to the bottom again, where you see "Build number." (Your build number may vary from ours here.)
3. Tap it seven (7) times. After the third tap, you'll see a playful dialog that says you're four taps away from being a developer. (If only it were that simple, eh?) Keep on tapping, and *poof*, you've got the developer settings back.
for more info visit this link
If u want the s translator download the zip file http://db.tt/ADug1EoL extract it copy s translator to app and set the permission. And now for the libnmsp_vocoder.so add it in system/lib ( and set the permission) reboot the tablet.
if you have the AT&T ( i467 ) Nah do not touch
Do you want the resizable note 2 popup browse? So download this as any app http://db.tt/yGNx9PnV

Hi, thanks for doing this.
I've been wanting 4.2.2 for my sgh-i467m (Rogers) for a long time.
But I do really need the S-Note function. So I'll wait until you add S-Note
I have a question though. I'm currently paying text messaging add-on $15/mo. Do you think I will lose this function?
And also, phone feature would be so siiick.
I'll wait patiently

Thanks, I finally got around flashing. Everything works great and better. Before things like app launching time or keyboard was extremely laggy. But now its gone. Also sometimes touch screen not responding for a second or two is also gone. I cant thank you enough.
I wasnt really going to use the phone feature but that phone app sitting in the app drawer is really tempting to use. Do you have any progress on that yet?
Also, do you think you can port some note3 stuff like aircommand?

The AT&T version has a locked bootloader, so we can't load a custom recovery to make a back up. We do have root, which is great to have.
Can you point me in the right direction to make a back up?
Should those with a locked bootloader not flash this file?
I really appreciate your work on this.

And once its done go back to download mod and flash the rom via odin. We the i467M also we dont have an unlocked bootloader. But flashing via odin if possible.
Now when its done ur tablet may and may not boot. If its not booting go to recovery mod and clean cache and dalvik. Et voilà!!!!

I'm waiting for some custom roms now.

I used the vroot. It seem legit. And I strip off alot of bloatware. plus I removed the vroot own su with the normal su.
Same here. I'm not sure how much of the rumors were true (about vRoot being malware and all that), but it helped me a bunch when there were no other alternatives. The support for S7580 is very limited at the moment and it was difficult to find even a way to root it.
All in all, I'm happy with it. Same as you HenryStar, I removed a bunch of stock crap I wasn't using and replaced the chinese SU app with SuperSU. So far so good; can't wait for people to start taking an interest in this phone so we can have some alternatives to the stock rom.
By the way, did you manage to install any recovery on it?
i have that phone to...lets hope that they will make a treath for trend plus..lets see...so we rooted the phone..wath did u make overclock?? or something to him?
I don't usually overclock my phones. Besides, the S7580 is rather snappy and I'm not sure the minimal improvement is worth the extra stress on the CPU.
Still waiting and hoping for a separate section for it.
Sorry if I was late with my answer and no, I tried to install custom recovery. I gonna test this so I can get an custom recovery on this phone in the futher.

I was inside the root system folder to find recovery.img, I dont find it, because I wont to flash with an custom android 3e recovery, so I can get clockwork mod recovery on this phone. If any have rooted this phone, let me know where did u find the original recovery.img
pfff...that is a awsome news...lets hope more people will be interested to do more for this phone..

Extract recovery img:
For ADB:
connect phone via usb(make sure usb debugging is connected).
Start ADB
from windows:
Click Start
Run -> Cmd.exe
type "adb shell"(without quotations)
from ubuntu:
Press Ctrl+alt+t(or open the terminal)
type "./adb shell"(without quotations)
when in the shell type "su"(without quotations)
On your phone a dialogue window will appear asking for permission to grant superuser. Click yes!!
now type "cat /proc/mtd"(without quotations)
A list of partitions(or w/e they are) should appear, you're looking for the one called "recovery". Mine is labeled mt8, I assume this is the same for you, but I could be wrong. For your phone's sake let's just make sure we're certain!!!
now in the shell type:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd8 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
your recovery.img should now be on the root of your sdcard
CWM RECOVERY soon...
Hello,
I've just compiled and installed a fully version of CWM Recovery for the Samsung GT-S7580. I'll post files and guide tonight or tomorrow Stay tuned :highfive:

Hello all.
As you might have guessed from the title, I recently broke my Galaxy SII's screen and I need to get all my precious info off it for my new S4 Active. Problem is, the screen is kept locked and with a broken screen I obviously can't unlock it in the normal manner. Fortunately the phone still works.
Unfortunately, my phone is unrooted and USB debugging is turned off (I think, I'm running on that assumption) so that doesn't help matters.
After some tinkering and learning (thanks to the sticky on recovery mode ) I have booted into recovery mode and have the Android SDK installed so while I can look at some things on the phone, not everything seems to be available.
Essentially, how can I get my data off my phone? It looks like I have to root the phone or something like that, but wouldn't that delete all my data (and thus defeat the purpose)?
Nothing like a broken screen to get you into learning Android development, and of course all responses are hugely appreciated

It will depend on what data you're trying to get off the phone. My guess is photos/videos/music? If it's anything else, please specify.
You're on the right track, I'm pretty sure you'll need to root. But no, that won't delete any data My tip would be to root using Odin & Siyah kernel, as it's PC-based, if you were on JB 4.1.2 you'll need Siyah v6 (beta 4 or 5). The Odin link in my signature has a link which is an introduction to Odin flashing which you should find helpful. PC rooting with Odin (vs using Philz kernel) avoids using the busted screen for the rooting operation. Once you've flashed Siyah, you'll have root and a new custom recovery.
My next move would be to flash Dorimanx kernel, because it has an 'auto-mount' feature from recovery. Essentially that means the computer will recognise your internal SD (and external SD if you have one) as soon as you plug it in to your computer in recovery mode. To flash Dorimanx, you have a couple options. The easiest would be to download Dorimanx v8.43, and put it on a microSD card. Put that card in your phone, and from Siyah recovery, navigate to that file and flash it.
From there, reboot to your new recovery and plug into your computer. If all goes well then you can literally just copy your entire internal SD card to your computer and sift through for what you need
Hope that helps :highfive: Quote my post if you reply, else I won't notice it. I don't get time to go on Q&A much for now.
EDIT: Actually, an alternative would be not to flash Dorimanx on top of Siyah. From Siyah recovery, you could go: mounts & storage> mount USB storage and then plug into PC. Your PC should recognise it from there to copy all data from internal SD. If not, then flash Dorimanx for the auto mount feature.
hey.
my advice to you is to try using a "micro usb to hdmi" in most cases the touch works wile the screen does not.
its very common and cheep, i also suffered from the same problem, and i borrowed one from a friend, and thats what saved my data loss.
usually the phone interacts automatically with the usb-hdmi thing so you dont need to "click" on anything to make it work.
the touch tho is pretty tricky.. and you will learn it pretty fast!
hope one of your friends got one of these.. if not just buy one.. its a nice thing anyway.
hope i helped.

I would like to get anything that's worth getting from the phone, so most important is the contacts and then photos/videos/app data.
It seems the link to download Odin is dead
Odin can be easily found with a Google search (or an XDA search). You're going to have to show at least a little bit of initiative if you want this done.
Edit - Also, you haven't specified which S2 variant you have. If you have any of the US variants, don't proceed with the above advice.

Just thought I'd make people aware of the dead link.
Phone variant is the I9100T (in Australia here).
Hopper's advice applies then.

Not to worry, it was 404'ing for me, but I just went and googled it like Mistah said.
Flashing and pulling files from recovery mode worked like a charm so much appreciated, Hopper

Sorry to pester you but it seems I'm only halfway to the finish line. It looks like I only got some of my files and not others as when I "ls" folders in the shell like data, they're empty so I don't seem to have full access. Being Superuser doesn't let me see anything either.
Disregard, turns out all I had to do to see the contents of the /data folder was to mount it. The things you learn
Hi guys, I've started using a SGS2 but it has broken volume button. I install TWRP and flash RR built by @linusdan. Then I install substratrum theme and swiftblack theme. Then I was too lazy to uninstall the theme via the app and I flashed the rescue package in my phone's internal memory and it's bootloop, I've already tried adb, I typed "adb reboot recovery" and it just stuck like that.By the way, my SGS2 also have a problem with the usb port, when I plug in to charge, it know that I'm charging but the battery won't get anymore precent, I tried with another usb board but it doesn't work and when I plug it to my pc, I have to put its screen head down so the PC can detect it. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance

I did bougat another device, a nokia1 and a note 8 but both of them don't have roms or anything I can play with, the s2 has plenty of roms. I can't live without installing custom roms and tweaks. I have an idea, I can wipe the data with adb, do you know how to wipe system with adb? As without os, the phone will be forced to boot into recovery.

Thanks dude, I'll try out but I'll flash the cwm then flash twrp. I've ordered a repair kit and the sgs2 volume button.BTW , my sgs2 has a problem with usb/charging/whatever. When I plug it in, it say that it's charging but the battery won't get anymore precent. If I connect it to the pc, I have to turn its face down, otherwise, pc won't detect it.

Don't mind the post i posted before, I fixed the usb, it was a problem with the cable, I replaced the cable and every command in adb works, except adb reboot and adb reboot recovery. By some how, i typed ""adb shell" and then "recovery", I bring me to the PhilZ recovery and said : Powered by dorimanX kernel and I can't see any menu like wipe or anything. Do you have any idea?
Almost forgot, I wiped system with erase_image but it still won't boot to TWRP. And the PhilZ of the DorimanX kernel is a post recovery, I figured it out about that by somehow
Update: I tried to format kernel partition to see if it can force the phone boot to TWRP. After formatying, it still won't bring me to TWRP. Then I tried samsung 300k tool but phone no longer be detected by the pc. I tried to make my own usb jig without resistor as I couldn't find any resistor by using paper but no luck. I've found some good deal on the internet, I've ordered a pack that include 100 100k ohms for half a buck. I also ordered a usb jig from china for 2 bucks but it'll arrive after 1 month.

So, after a few days, I made a usb jig same as how he made in the video but it doesn't work. I've done some research, and found a thread, it only work for GB bootloader but mine has ICS bootloader. Now,I'm trying to find a vulome button to replace. It's so hard to find replacement for this phone. BTW, thanks for helping me.
I've got some updates. The volume button never arrive. Then by some how, When I plugged my phone to charge, it started to boot into recovery and I reinstalled the ROM. Problem solved.
So after solving my problem, I decided to install stock ROM. I used the JIG and booted to DL Mode and install Stock rom you provided in the post. Then I realize that I can't reboot to recovery anymore. I tried some apps and it just reboot. I found that I need hardware button, so... do you have any idea ?

Hi, you now have the official android 4.1.2 installed!
1. Make root permissions - [ROOT] Framaroot, a one-click apk to root some devices
2. Set the - Shutdown Menu (ROOT)
And through the application of restart in the recovery, it's all simple.
3. You can install - [ROOT] Mobile ODIN v4.20
Good luck ...

Thank you very much, I'm back on LOS 14.1 now . But I can't mount my sdcard since I installed stock rom. I can't format it because I have lots of data inside and i still can mount it in other phones
So, I'm back on LOS 14.1, I also found a tip to install LOS 14.1 without getting the triagle, you can use the JIG to remove triagle but I found this one can help you not getting the triagle. As my phone's volume button is broken, I got myself a usb JIG to reboot to Download Mode. I install stock ROM(JB) with odin the I found that I couldn't install anything alse with odin. I decided to root my SGS2 with framaroot , then I installed mobile odin lite and FlashKernel. I downloaded the files from your help thread and flashed the IP kernel + CWM by using the mobile odin. Then I flashed files and Installed LOS 14.1. After a few hours using, I found that the triagle is gone.
BTW, can you share this post by quoting it to your help thread? That will help lots of people
