Unable to root Samsung Galaxy Star Pro Duos GT-S7262
Hey There,
I have tried almost all possible ways to root my Samsung Galaxy Star Pro Duos GT-S7262 , nothing seems to be working. I have stock ROM 4.1.2, Baseband s7262xxuanf1 with stock recovery. Plz refer attached pic for detailed info like kernel and baseband version etc. And i have proper drivers, I am very sure its not about the drivers.
1) Tried around 8 - 10 one click root software, like Unlock root, Kingo, Vroot, SRS root, One click root, rescue root, etc. But all failed.
2)Tried flashing custom recovery CWM for S6272 from various sources using Odin, dint work. Because when ever the phone reboots after the flash it reloads stock recovery. And if i try going to recovery without letting reboot it gives a white screen. And my stock recovery doesn't have the option of updating .zip from SD card.
3) Tried rooting using SU update with ADB from stock recovery by ADB updated. And in this case Signature varification fails.
4) Tried Towel method this doesn't work too.
PS- I dont care which recovery i end up with, i just want it to be rooted..

same here btw...I have an old star pro duos gt s7262...I did everything I could...it flashes the file through Odin which is a piece of cake...but can't get into cwm recovery...I don't know what's wrong....where as I have a moto g 1st gen...I flashed my moto g...I flashed cm12 and everything's running smooth and great....no issues !
I even admit this, that those steps were much tougher than this so called "Odin..."
the main thing is that...I did everything I could but can't get into cwm recovery mode...it only shows the stock recovery
I even tried to root my device through cydia impactor but it says signature bugs unavailable....
SOLVED !!!

hey pal I've found a solution for this
just download this firmware and flash it through Odin...its pre rooted...you just need to extract and flash this firmware....just search the web "S7262 Root Firmware" but make sure to turn on the usb debugging mode and to install the latest Samsung usb driver which is Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones 1.5.45.0 (July 2014) before flashing !
After flashing the firmware just search for the supersu app in app drawer
and finally extract and flash cwm recovery....works like a charm !

Cant Boot into Custom Recovery
Hi guys, I'm having trouble flashing recovery on S5310i 4.4.2. Odin flash successful but cant boot into recovery. Stuck at logo before booting into recovery. Any suggestions. Help will be much appreciated as I have run out of ideas.
need root s5310i
plz i need root for s5310i
Cant load CWM
guajojo said:
For anyone else having trouble with this, you have to copy the root zip in the external storage(microSD) then after succefully flashin CWM from Odin you have to press the recovery keys ( Vol+ and home) to enter recovery before the phone get to reset from the odin PDA flash, this mean to press the buttons right after the status bar fills on the phone screen, this is the trick to enter the real CWM recovery and not the stock one, from here you can flash the root zip.

Mine is S5312c ,also with 4.4.2 KitKat and Menu replaced with Recent Apps. Would that inflict on using this CMW ?
Im such a noob,idk if CWM have something to do with Android Version as it does with models ...
I mean,I know I need the CWM strictly for S5310/5312 in my case,but Idk if the fact that my phone is running 4.4.2 KitKat will made it unsupportable for this CMW.

Yeah, I got cwm 6.0.5.1

Hello
im trying to flash the recovery i have the galaxy s3 i9300 international actually says EU model wich means that works only with EU sim cards !! i have download the correct recovery file odin3v185 and i fallow all the steps ( installed drivers kies for windows 8.1 - usb debugging - power button + volume down for download mode and volume up button - blue on odin and its written added - and auto reboot is checked also apd select the apd and the tar file << CWM_6.0.4.7_Touch_GT-I9300 >> ) !! odin says recovery – pass green 0:05 !! but there is no recovery only the stock one in a strage way im going to the download mode again and there says 4 files downloaded … cause i tried 4 times….but no clockwordmode recovery !! i dont wanna root it just to have the recovery instead to back up my stock rom samsung's one and install the << cm-11-20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-i9300 >> can you explain what should i do i need some help?? thank you very much !!
Imho stock kernel restores stock-recovery everytime. So you've to root. And if you do, choice TWRP-recovery. CWM is obsolete.
thank you for your replay !! so as you told me i understood that i have to root first... but i have read that instead to flash the TWRP or the CWM its not necessary to root my phone !!
So can you explain to me why it goes back to stock recovery and why its necessary to root??
and probably to give a step by step guide to fall to proceed to root cause i have read different articles and im confused now!!
thank you again!!
<<On some S3 models, there is a script that overwrites the recovery you flashed. If you get stock recovery, just simply flash recovery again using ODIN, as soon as you see “PASS!”, pull the battery before your phone reboots. Then do the buttons to get into CWM recovery and do the rest of the root instructions.
Put the battery back in and boot straight into CWM recovery, then when you reboot in CWM recovery, it will ask you to disable recovery script. Do that and you should be good to go.>>
Thank you again !! for me after that step works perfect !!

Don't understand this, but practically: by interrupting reboot after flash, you got custom-recovery without rooting?
Hi yes you can install CWM without root !!! i knew it before posting here and i couldnt understood why its not working!! i dont know why i never read that note probably cause it is in a root guide!! and not mentioned in most videos!! its not important to be rooted instead to install CWM !! this step that i past in my replay its coped from galaxys3root . com But cause i am a new member i couldn't paste the link here too !! its written there as a note in frequently asked questions under steps for rooting thas why its says after that proceed with root !! As it says some galaxy s3 models have this script and thats why this step with battery should be done !!
I have to say that cm-11-20150614-NIGHTLY-i9300 has some "lags" not something to be afraid but some freezes i thing !! and as a user with stock samsung's 4.3 android now the last hours i have nothing missed from that its complete!! i just thing to install cm-11-20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-i9300 just to be more stable !!
Hello everyone,
I'm new to Note Edge (n915F) I'm not satisfied with my Note Edge battery so i decided to root my Note Edge but I failed in all the tutorials found on google or over all internet somehow i came to know how to root Note Edge F model.

Here is easy steps for root.
1. Install CWM.(through latest Odin in AP tab)
2. Then copy SuperSU to your phone memory
3. Then reboot to recovery
4. Flash SuperSU through CWM (download from here)
5.Wipe Cache partition.
6. Then flash anMicky387_kernel_511.zip

Thank you for this guide. It helped me figure out what to do.
Have a question. Is the Micky387_kernel_511.zip only for android 5.11?
I currently have 5.01. If I want to upgrade my N915F to Stock 5.11 so I need to install this kernel before or after I install the OEM ROM?
Thank you.
Thats all basic:
Download Stock FW
Download latest ODIN 3.10.7
Download latest TWRP Recovery
Download Mickis 5.1.1 Kernel (if you need Root)
use ODIN to Install the Stock 5.1.1 FW
use Odin to instal TWRP
Flash Kernel with TWRP

Now you don't need to flash a 'permissive' firmware in step 6 (you can flash flash the zip of the new SuperSU 2.6x after reboot into TWRP/CWM recovery to get root).
You can also try to remove/de-active KNOX software flashing the file KNOX-FREE_TEKHD.zip By @TEKHD (at the same time than SuperSU 2.6x if you want) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347792751
I hope this help you with this and other security warning messages
help me
It does not work on sm- n915fy with stock 5.1.1 . The flash recovery with odin is successful but when I turn on mode ' recovery comes out the message (in update system) and I still have the stock recovery
When using odin to flash recovery, untick the AUTOREBOOT option. When done, after pass appear, just remove the phone from cable and remove battery. Put it back to phone and reboot recovery. It worked for me...

Yes, when you flash a costum kernel you will lost Root. After flashing Micky's Kernel just flash the root again, and you have root again. It's not possible to reset ur Knox when you flash costum stuffs.. Simply just flash this attachment.

Hi guys.
I need help ergently.
First i´m sorry if i post in wrong section of the forum.
Now to my problem.
I am trying to root this mobile using odin to flash twrp and then in recovery flash supersu.
I have used google to find guides and even checked here, but no luck, that i have found i follow every step.
So what have i done?
i downloaded twrp (all of them just to be sure, and for xcover 3).
I downloaded odin, the last version.
I downloaded the last version of supersu.
I installed odin and followed a guide where i should put twrp in AP slot in odin i turned my phone in download mode and hit start, it passed and i removed usb cabel and pulled out the battery and tryed to enter recovery mode, but i got a message that says "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" and then nothing.
I saw a post that says that is because i have the wrong twrp file, ex. if i use twrp for android 4.4 but my system is 5.1 this will happen, so therefore i tryed all twrp.
I have tryed everything i can find, can anyone please help me?
My phone´s modelnumber is SM-G388F and my CSC: G388FOXA1BQC1 (wich i cant find anywhere) and my AP: G388FXXU1BQC2 (also no where to be found with these exact numbers).
Please please help me.

That worked, it installed and so on.
But when i install twrp i still get "recovery is seandroid enforcing" when i try to get in to recovery.
But after a second i jump in to andrdoid's own recovery but i cant install supersu from that.
I should ad that after i flashed with odin from your link i flashed the latest twrp, that was correct or did i mess up somewhere?
Hi , flash this trwp recovery with Odin .
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/xcover3ltexx/twrp-3.1.1-0-xcover3ltexx.img.tar.html
After that pull out your battery and do this step:
Press and hold Volume UP key + Home Key
then put battery back on and press and hold Power key also
Release all key when you see Android TWRP Recovery.
Make BackUp if something goes wrong !
Hope it will work for you .

Hi.
Thanks for the reply.
I have already tryed twrp 3.1.10, but i tryed with your instructions as well.
But no it did not work, i tryed with auto restart option ticked in odin and without, but with no luck.
Im starting to wonder if it is possible to even root this phone?
I don't have that device to make a test , but probably twrp will not work on Android 5 , try to flash him back to KitKat and then flash the latest twrp recovery.
So if i flash kitkat and everything works well with twrp can i flash lollipop back and still have root?
Or do i need to keep kitkat?
And do you know where to find kitkat for my phone?
Here you can download kitkat , registar for free and click join 0, if you flash to lolipop back you lose Root Rights and also twrp because it will probably overwrite stock recovery from android 5 (Lolipop) .

Someone already posted pre-rooted firmware for your device , but do at your own risk because maybe that firmware will cause problem on your device !

When i flashed 4.4 then it got stuck on samsung logo, so i flashed back to 5.1 and i am now at point 1 again
Any other suggestions?
Hi , once again , try first to enable Enable USB Debugging you have on the internet about that , and try with other Kitkit version. Once you flash go to recovery mode and wipe cache partition .
Hi.
I have had USB debugging checked from start.
But nothing work, not even trying different types of firmware.
I'm on the brink to give up now, nothing I have tryed have worked, can it be unroot able?
My kid will be dissapointed, thanks for all the great advices you have given me.
And if anyone have other thougts of what to do i'm open to try it.
Hi.
Here is the hacked together twrp that works on sm-g388f lollipop 5.1. This is the only version that works, so don't update it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69813173&postcount=135
Rooting can be done by using the method that is provided on Samsung Xcover3 Development thread, by Matt07211 on the first post.
I recommend to read, especially those 3 first post very thoroughly and all the links that are in those posts.
You will find files for rooting, custom kernel and a version of xposed that works on g388f.
There is no custom roms for this device but if you do modifications that can be done with information provided in the developing thread, you'll have a device that has enough of free space, better batterylife, fairly good performance and holds up even in a more rough way of using a phone.
Hi , i have one question , i bought a galaxy xcover 3 from a guy , i was checking up the phone ect , magisk was installed exposed seems also ( i will tell you why ) but both of them have no user interface , ( i can see magisk as com.topjohnwu.magisk) , but there is no magisk app nor manager ( i checked all apps if its repacked ) also the mock app works ( guy used to work as delivery ) so fake gps works but also there is nothing shows xposed is installed ? how can that be possible ? or .. can you delete the app ( magisk and xposed ) after rooting and everything ?
