I know,there's many threads about rooting l7. I searched here (xda), on websites in my country and I don't know what is wrong. From few days I'm trying to root my phone with any possible method I found. I think I did everything! I had every single file needed to get root, drivers, I install them, uninstall and install again and go on and go on. Yesterday I got ROOT! Flashed one rom, then one more and something went wrong. Right now I don't have root access and I spent half a day to do it again - nothing worked. I'm not sure if I have branded software (there is no logo of operator anymore when phone is turning on), but I know I have the latest version of it (v20d if i'm not wrong). I can't install any other version now (kdz).
It's late, I'm tired and dissapointed. I had HTC Wildfire once, and rooting that was so easy. I don't know what to do, so please, help me. Had anyone the same problems? What you did to fix that and get root?
I don't have your device, but I think you should list here all the tools you tried so others will have a better chance to help you right.
Maybe I'll tell you that:
1. I found 2 programs which should automaticaly root my phone - both don't work for me, even if I unbranded my phone (if you know what I mean).
2. I tried with UpTestEX_mod2_marwin to install kdz file and only once it worked. Something went wrong later and I had to back to original soft, so I tried to root again. Right now it doesn't work. There is en error (4010 if I'm not wrong) every single time I tried. I install drivers, msxml, windows enabler. I uninstall all of that, switch off the computer and switch on and try again - doesn't work. I tried to install v10k_00, v10A_00, v10k, v20D_00_root, v20a, v20B_deodex, v20d_00 - that is all I remember right now. I tried to do that with phone in emergency mode and normally, with and without battery.
What else can I say

I tell you I unlock it first, then I had problems with some widgets and I learned some new updates.
Then, I made a backup with Sony_Ericsson_Backup_and_restore.
After searching, I root my phone with "GINGERBREAK" downloaded from the internet (GingerBreak-v1.20) and finally settled "Titanium Backup" to remove some applications from my operator, then install the CLOCKWORDMOD (do not know what for) and and finally I started to flash ...
After root, flashing with FlashTool_0.2.9.1.
I suggested steps for flashing and inserted this update: "LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic Global", with "wiped ...", which is to delete everything and set it to zero ..
Normal work for me ... I sent version 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 (thinking I would send to 2.3.4). It was great ... Then I appeared a notice of samsung (on phone), to install version 2.3.4 (4.0.1.A.0.283 I think it was that number) and when it started to install warned me he was going to shut down, spent 6 or 7 minutes and not lit. I tried to turn it on and vibrated, then vibrate him again and try to turn rang again, but soon ...
Then I could not turn ...
Once this happened I was like crazy trying to fix the COMPANIOM, but nothing ...
I flash again, this time with this "LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_ (1247-1041). Ftf" but did not recognize the flashtool as the first time coming out of the mobile code when you open the program loads and displays the model number of the phone, it did not appear.
Finally, press flash and began. (To this already, before, try reinstalling the Global LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic where my computer does not recognize, nor giving flash, just not recognized out in red letters)
When flashing with the latest LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_ (1247-1041). Ftf, the normal flashing until the end. But my phone just did not work. The light that was on the side of my phone was green ...
I sent a technician and he said he could not ....=/
I hope you can help and serve as a case to be resolved.
Thank you very much, good luck!

But i did it...u_U! So, now?
Hi all, I am just depressed, I have tried to root my Defy + , and finaly I found that my version cant be root at the moment, so I decided to Restore to Factory Setting because I think after trying so many root software and failed, it;s better to go back to defult setting, than I am so shock when I see my phone again :
THe lockbar is lost, and also every defult app, and I count have a slide unlock bar, it said I can only make phone calls, and that's it, nothing eles, I cant do anything on it, is that because I have tried so many root softwares so it become liek that?
Or is it just normal and that's solution that I can hae the apps and slidelockbar ?
Please kindly give me some advice, I am so helpless
I have never seen something like that, now that is all off, try flashing it with some stock sbf, i'm sure you will find many of them in the development section, i'm sorry for your loss
Hey, don't panic. Nothing is lost. Just find here proper to your version SBF and burn it with RSDLite.

Hi everyone,
Before blasting away with comments as to why I would do this, here's my story,
I live in Canada and just brought home a i9508, a China variant of the S4. It belonged to my dad and he didn't want it so I just took it. The i9508 doesn't have Play Store, and it doesn't work on Canadian 3G network.
So to me, the phone is useless right off the start (don't intend on selling it either, who wants it?) So I had 2 options:
1) Leave the phone as it is, and probably use it once every 1-2 years when I visit HK
2) Flash custom roms on it fully aware of the risk it will have so that there's a possibility I can make it more usable
So in the end I went with option 2.
I followed a guide and flashed TWRP for i9505 using Odin onto the phone, and used TWRP to install chainfire SU, and it actually worked (but SU wouldn't open because some sort of security on the phone is blocking it)
Next step, I downloaded the CM version for i9505 and flashed onto the phone, and that worked too. Only problem I've encountered was that the phone would only boot after a fresh install. If I installed CM, turned the phone off after the initial start up, the phone wouldn't boot pass the Samsung logo.
Up until this point, I didn't make a backup, because of my arrogance, cause I have available a copy of the official firmware, in case anything happens.
So I figured at this point, maybe if I restore the original firmware, and try the whole process again, the custom rom would work. So I went into Odin, flash the firmware with PDA, and failed. It just wouldn't work. After retrying it a couple of times, and downloading different updates of the firmware, nothing worked. Only thing working right now is, I can get into Download mode, and I can get into TWRP recovery (but for some reason, I can't flash the zips that I've adb pushed onto the phone, zip can't open)
For me, if it can't be fixed, then it's really SOL. But if there's a way to fix it, I'm open to testing anything people have in mind, cause afterall, this phone is paper weight either way. I'm interested in seeing if I could enable 3G by flashing a i9505 radio, despite warnings, although, I've never actually came across a thread where someone had actually tried it before.
Either way, if someone has any idea on how to fix the phone, and wouldn't mind sharing it, that'll be greatly appreciated.
Working
I can get into Download mode, but Odin is failing (if you need the error please let me know and I'll post it)
I can get into TWRP recovery, but can't flash files
I can get into adb
This isnt the correct forum for your phone. XDA don't follow clones
Unfortunately a section for i9508 doesn't exist, so I figure the closest one would be i9505.
Anyhow, if someone has an idea of how to fix it, I'm more than happy to do testing on it, like flashing other roms or radios.
Hi,
I am new to all this so please dont think me too much an idiot. I have searched nad searched but yet am unable to find a solution for my issue.
I tried rooting my s8+ last night, after a few attempts I managed it and installed a ROM (Renovate ICE)
all was ok phone restored and i was happy except unable to use banking apps. after some research I decided to change roms for one with built in supersu so i could install rootcloak and hopefully be able to use it, I then installed KING ROM, but i believe i selecteed an incorrect option which then deleted my network settings and imei so although the phone was working I lost all signal and my imei. i then tried installing a different rom and many other things and have tried several times to flash it back to oem software (UK H3G0 but it jusst keeps failing can anybody try and decipher what to do next to get my phone working again please.
thanks
Ross

PM me if you're still having this problem
If you really want help or have time to help me, you must know the full story
Guys please, I want your help, I am very, very tired of this problem
I had rooted my SM205F
I put it on "ODIN" and it really worked
And I rooted successfully
Now there is a problem
When I restart the phone or turn it off
Or when it runs out of battery and put it on charge
Suddenly back to Download Mode
And when I restart my phone, the same thing happens, which is going back to the Download Mode again
I thought for a while and said, "Ok, let me put the root file again and flash it, I think I'll get out of this mess." I did this and it worked, then I restarted my phone and then found myself also in the same place..When I put any file it really works, I am still in the same place and the only solution is that I am working completely software for the device
This means that I always delete everything on the device
This went on for two days and I couldn't bear it anymore
So I found another way to root
Which is to install "TWRP" recovery on the phone and root it instead of the "ODIN" program, and I did that today
And I succeeded in making a root
But I found out that I was still stuck too
I tried to find a way out by using "TWRP" or writing code, but it didn't help
I don't want to delete everything on my phone and do the same routine every day. This makes me hate my phone and hate something called root.
And I came here because I heard that this place is wonderful and that there are people who help each other solve other people's problems
This is a beautiful thing
Therefore, I want your help and benefit in order to overcome this problem
I have no problem getting stuck here
The problem is that I don't want to delete my phone data let me say for the 11th time
If you have a solution .. please help ..
Right now I'm still stuck, but I'm not going to do anything. I want your help
Thanks.
