Hello guys, I bought "Samsung Galaxy S3" online and I am really confused with such names and so many different models and different things about them, so the guy asked "blue or white?" and I said "doesn't matter" and now I am stuck with this SIII neo 16GB...
I managed to install Android system recovery <3e> KOT49H.I9301IXXUNF4, but I am not able to root it, I searched everywhere and nothing, like nobody in the world have this device...
I tried tools for both I9300 and I9305 but they are no help at all either.
If there's any solution to root this thing or anything like that...I think I need a custom kernel to be able to do anything (right?)
How to extract kernel from firmware image? How to patch it?
I would be happy to have some answers.
Regards

Yesterday I've managed to root device, I downgraded firmware I9301IXXUANC6 and I flashed the phone, then towelroot did its magic and everything works as charm!

i root it with this program: https://towelroot.com/
but attention do not update the latest firmware because this root has no use, reinstall original firmware with odin
and then root it without update (then download superuser and busybox)

Hello.
I need access to a file, but on several sites on google - all say that i need to root...
So i want to root my phone, but still keep the "official" android (dont want CyanogenMod etc.)
But im really insecure on how to root my phone - and how risky is it?
Can you please provide me with a guide (with pictures please) on how to root it.
PS: Can i still update my android, if i root the phone?
Will all the data on the phone be deleted? like reinstalling windows....

You should have posted in galaxy s2 section but:
You can keep stock android, just follow this link to root your S2 and it will be fine. There is also video tutorial in the link
You won't be able to update your phone with Software Update but you can always find the latest firmware for S2 from SamFirmware
The sam firmware website is where you can find all the stock firmware for the S2
Your files will be fine such as music pictures etc they will not be wiped and it's not risky to root your phone with the link above
If you have any other questions just ask

Kernel?
Hey.
What is the kernel doing? is that another rom or so? :S
Also heard alot of rumors about the Odin - that is was unstable and such, can you confirm that?
Recently bought an android phone hoping it was on ICS 4.0.3 as it states in the About Phone. Just read through a forum @ forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?t=24021 that it wasn't. Is there any hope this device can be rooted at least? I'm having a lot of apps which can install from Google Play but aren't working properly sometimes downright shutting down (ie. Temple Run). I even get the error 498 while trying to download some apps. Hoping you could help me root it.
Here's some more details about this phone.

i have recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note I717m running android 4.1.2
i have looked everywhere trying to find a way to root it but i can't find a thread or site (via google) that would explain to me exactly what i need to do to root my Note specifically. I am a beginner at rooting but i have rooted my samsung galaxy s3 (only because the rooting sites were abundant and very easy to understand)
All i need is to know if there is a way to root such an old phone running the latest software, and if there is i need to know how.
thank you
Get latest twrp .tar from og dev section to use with Odin.
Uncheck auto reboot in Odin, flash recovery, and since you have the Canadian version there is an extra step as there is a script in place to overwrite a custom recovery if you boot directly into the os,
So, right after the Odin flash, button combo into recovery and factory reset, then boot into android.
Now reboot into recovery and when you go to boot again from there it should see that you're not rooted and ask if you'd like to do so.
Thank you for your quick reply!
I however dont know what you mean by twrp.tar and where i can find it
I would need links to sites and a guideline if possible because when i rooted my s3 it was one step after the other i didn't really understand all of it and it was a long time ago
Thanks again, hope I'm not asking for too much here I'm new to this forum
Its in the development section for the i717. Go to TRWP recovery. Click the link to the site and MAKE SURE ITS FOR THE I717. Download and do what stud said.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
it worked!
thanks alot!
Hi everyone.
Yesterday I rooted the Grand 6 with KingRoot, but when I tried to change to SuperSU, he got stuck in bootloop.
I can't find nothing on the web for this phone
I needed something like this:
Stock ROM (please, someone?);
Flash CWM from recovery/preloader/bootloader;
Remove Root using bootloader/recovery.
Or if you have a better option, feel free to share!
Best regards.
Bump, cmon i can't be the only one with this smartphone

Hi there.
So the other day found your forum and i think its amazing,but i have a problem.
i have an SAMSUNG J5 2016 and i tried rooting it with varios root apps for mobile like king root and all that stuff(even tried with the pc version of king root) and it didnt work,i think there is some kind of a securtiy lock which doesnt allow the root process to complete.
i dont know anything about the things you use for that(like Odin i think it was called) but im willing to try,but the only requirement is that my phone doesnt get ****ed up.
Can anyone help me?
