How to root, step-by-step.

ok guys, so first, i want to apologize for my bad english. im not very good when it comes to writing and talking.
let's go; what we are going to do is flash the ROM with aan included ROOT, with the posibility of wiping our device.
I remind you that: **I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE OR YOUR COMPUTER.**
**I RECOMMEND CHARGING YOUR BATTERY TO 100%**
**I ALSO RECOMMEND YOU TO MAKE A COPY OF ALL YOUR DATA**
YOU WILL MISS YOUR GARANTY IF YOU ROOT YOUR DEVICE**
​
First step: DOWNLOAD THE ROM Through this link and place it in your desktop.
2. you will also have to download ODIN 3​
3.in Developer options, activate the USB Debugging option (Settings --> Developer options --> USB Debugging
Ok, you have to start ODIN and you have to get your device in Downloading Mode. (you will do this by shuting it off. and then pressing *VOLUME DOWN KEY*+*HOME KEY*+*POWER KEY*. when you do that you should press the volume up key) When you are in Downloading mode you should connect your device to your PC.
4. Once synchronized, with Odin, you have to select "OPEN" where it says PDA. select the archive you downloaded before. (the one with the name *I8190XXALK6_I8190XEFALK1_HOME_ROOTED.tar.md5*) (you have to uncompress that item before using it)
5. then you press start in Odin, and wait 'til the instalation finishes. the your device should reboot and odin should show a message saying PASS!
6. then you should be able to boot your device like you do normally.
EXTRA STEPS JUST IF YOU HAVE ANY ERROR​
1. if you cant boot, you will need to WIPE your device instaling this archive and use it like in step 4 through the PDA button.
2. if you still have any problem, you should install this following step 4.
how your device should look like

This will install an older December rom! I'm afraid it's a step back, and bad advice.
Most countries have moved on from the LL2 rom in that file.
The instructions also mention the LK6 rom, which is even older, and not attached above.

this is avicoh first rooted rom and it was posted here on the forum long ago. I dont know why u reposted, to be honest i wayted for u to post but thought u come up with another solution that doesnt include Odin.
Best regards,

Yeah this isn't anything new, I and everyone here thought there was some kind of new ROOTING method. The Rom is already Rooted.

[Q] Flashing Kit Kat 4.4.2 Question

Hello,
I'm on the new side with flashing in such and need to know what file is run in Odin on the PDA line? The videos always show a MD5 file but I don't see one in the zip file I downloaded. How would I go about creating this file type? The remaining steps of the process seen easy.
Thanks, in advance
Bruce

I'm somewhat confused here. Are you saying that I must install some program in order to make a MD5 file. Maybe it would be easier if I just knew what file to run on the PDA line. Is it the BOOT.IMG file? I would like to run this new KK software.
Thank you!

Okay in this screen shot there's the Odex rom and then the deodexed rom. Last is the firmware.
After you have flashed either one of the Odex or Deodexed roms in Safestrap 3.65 stock slot and remember to wipe the stock slot first.
So after the rom is flashed the don't reboot system but reboot to download mode and open up odin.
Prior to doing all this download the firmware to your computer. Once downloaded extract the the file that shows the as tar. After having odin open click on the PA and put that file in there and let it run its course checking the file. Then when it's done hit start.

Here's a pic off my pc of the file that goes in AP slot for Odin.
Odin will run MD5 check on it automatically and say it's valid. Then from there just have you phone in download mode and hooked up to pc and hit start.

not sure if you have seen this tutorial or not.

Open it:

Good Luck!

Good guide..just a correction
When you create your bundler you only have to mark the .sin files, not the .ta(or something like that)

I always select everything... Works without issues

Thanks it worked.. But I would like to know why remove .ta ??
another person commented that he is not having any issue even after including those files.. Now that's bit confusing..

I read it somewhere that including ta would cause bootloop in some
devices

I've always included the. Ta parts when flashing ftf's myself never has a problem(yet). I thought it was just Ta files of a different device that bricked your phone

[Q] Update using Mobile Odin Pro

Hi,
I have a rooted SM-G900F (Galaxy S5).
Today, my phone downloaded an OTA update to go from PDA:G900FXXU1ANG9 CSC:G900FOXX1ANG5 MODEM:G900FXXU1ANG8 to PDA:G900FXXU1ANJ1 CSC:G900FOXX1ANJ1 MODEM:G900FXXU1ANJ1

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The file is an update.zip of about 95Mo in /Cache/Fota.
I thought I should be able to install it with Mobile Odin Pro to not loose Root rights.
But no way, Mobile Odin does not recognize the file from menu "OTA / Update Zip" or from "Open File after copying the file from /Cache/Fota to a folder than Mobile Odin can see.
Message : This is not an OTA / Update Zip file ! ZIP files containing partitions are nor supported. Do you want to extract the ZIP file instead ?
If I click extract, I get : An unknown error occurred during extraction.
So, do I apply this update by clicking on it (see capture) ? will I loose Root Rights ? Or will Mobile Odin Pro detect it and apply it itself preserving Root rights ?
I also downloaded G900FXXU1ANJ1_G900FOXX1ANJ1_G900FXXU1ANJ1_HOME.tar.md5 from Sammobile
So if I apply it with Mobile Odin, will I keep all my applications, contacts, SMS, .... or does it revert to a basic stock ANJ1 rooted rom ?
Regards

Just download the whole new rom from Sammobile and flash that with Mobile Odin Pro and delete all OTA, FOTA and Firmware_Update files in /system/app/ and /system/priv-app/. BTW Forget about OTA`s and Kies when you are rooted or you`ll get into trouble.

[Small Guide] Flashing Yoga tab 2 1050L with 1050LC to make calls

This method worked with Yoga Tab 2 1050l, maybe it will work on 1050f.
Step 1: Download & extract this STOCK 1050LC
Step 2: Download & install "Phone Flash Tool", "Yoga 2 USB driver". Skip If already installed
Step 3: Power Off your tablet and open Phone flash tool.
Step 4: On "Phone flash tool" Click on [File>Option>General tab>Flash option] then click on "Force fastboot sparsing 500MB"
Step 5: On "Phone flash tool" Click on > Download Tab > Scatter Loading. Now locate scatter firmware file (Present firmware folder extracted in Step 1) and load it.
Step 6: Connect your device to PC via data cable (Keep in mind the device should be switch Off). Now click on Download Button / Upgrade Button (having a sign of Green Arrow) to begin to flash Flashing.
Step 7: Wait until download complete. don't turn off your tablet until this complete.
Warning: Do this on your own responsibility.
I'm not a developer, I just share this method to help yoga tab 2 users.
Good luck, and let me know If there's anything unclear.
"Warning1: Trying to flash any software to your device before backup your IMEI is high risk you could lose it if anything goes wrong.
I flashed this ROM 2 times, the first one was fine, the second I had a problem with the flash tool and I lost my IMEI and wasn't able to make calls, and I wasn't able to restore it myself."
Warning 2: If you are a lollipop user you need to update your bios with the tool in the attachments it's very easy to use if there are any problems just ask.

thank you, but I can't find file!
ps. I use 1050f

It's useless without the link

I think you can do this with TWRP Recovery.
From backup select this partitions: ESP-BOOT-RECOVERY-FASTBOOT-FACTORY-CONFIG and another again back up of ESP-FACTORY-CONFIG
I'm not sure about this.

Witam mam problem chciałem zaktualizować system ale przy każdym romie mam ten sam błąd przy system.img czy ktoś może wie czemu?
