[Q] Rooting & Unrooting - Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I've rooted my Grand 2 with "towelroot v1", and it was ok, and it gave me a root permission.
but there was no superuser app so i installed one from the market, but it needs to install some files in recovery mode, and when it goes to recovery mode it fail.
is that ok? or not?
or do i need to be worry about any thing on my device?
and i was wondering if i do a hard reset, does the factory reset remove the root. in case of any update that will come in the future?
and if not, how can i remove the root for the upcoming updated?
Thanks.

First of all , You don't had to download su app from the market coz there is no custom recovery for grand 2 . Su can only install it files from a custom recovery .
2nd- It's ok . Just delete su app . Nothing will happen with your device .
3rd- Factory Reset will most probably remove root . And if it doesn't remove root , just download the updated firmware of your country from sammobile and just flash it through odin .
If u have any problem , just don't hesitate in asking .
Don't forget to press the thanks button !!!!

Rooting/unrooting

I just make a simple tutorial for rooting and unrooting in another post here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22963897&postcount=117
Maybe little bit different but it works..
I'm SGT 8.9 user, but i have friend need my help for rooting his SGT P6800
so i implement the rooting process just like 8.9 do..
here is the method
For Rooting:
Download the root_original.zip from the attachment..
Transfer the attached file root_original.zip to the EXTERNAL SDCARD
Go To recovery menu, and choose "install update from external storage"
Choose root_original.zip with power button until it finish (apx 30 seconds)
Reboot
Install Superuser from market, run once..
Install Busybox Installer from market, then install busybox (if you need it just install, if not, dont do that)
Done..You just root
For Unrooting:
Uninstall Busybox with proper uninstaller if you use it (becarefull, some version will break your wifi module)
Uninstall superuser from Settings--application--manage application
Download the unroot_original.zip from the attachment..
Transfer the attached file unroot_original.zip to the EXTERNAL SDCARD
Go To recovery menu, and choose "install update from external storage"
Choose unroot_original.zip with power button until it finish (apx 30 seconds)
Reboot
Done.. You just Unroot..
Notes: Unrooting process only works with rooting process as mentioned above..
if you rooting from another file unrooting will works.. But you still need wipe and manually uninstall busybox if the root file include with it....
hope this help someone..
This is my reason why i dont include busybox in my root file package
1.Incompatibility issues between busybox version...
2.you dont use that too much, what kind operation you do with this tool for a month,,except if you dev.. You know well what you must to do.. Even softbrick, you dont use that..
3. Unrooting became complicated for me..
So, its your choice guys..
+1 is a gift for me if this post help you..
nice to meet u here

Thanks for your work.
Could you please tell me what the different between root by stock recovery and root with CWM recovery?

Both of recovery recognized the script for rooting, the output is same..CWM is something we need coz it has ability to write and backup to a whole partition...
After rooting, do you get a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark when you boot the device like the one on the galaxy s2? If yes, will the unrooting method above remove it?
Thanks
The rooting process doesnt intact with recovery partition or kernel partition, so triangle not appear because this process..
there is no correlation between unrooting with removing triangle exclamation,..
This is my assumption..
Triangle exclamation is a warning that your current kernel or (maybe recovery) not an officially release by Samsung..
To remove triangle just replace your custom with official release and your 3Angle will disappear..
thanks for the answer, the reason why I asked is because there is counter that Samsung uses that shows how many times u rooted your device, just like in the galaxy s2, and that will definitely void my warranty.

No my friend, binary counter will count when you using odin with custom kernel/firmware through download mode..
In SGS 2 and galaxyNote has same method for this..
so....in this binary counter case..if we use ODIN to flash the official samsung firmware, the counter will not detect...am i right??
and another question, if i flash custom firmware through ODIN and later on i flash back to the official firmware for warranty purpose, does the counter will be reset??
*thnxs in advance for your reply~

First : In SGS2 and galaxy Note case the answer is yes.. Your counter still 0, im not sure with p6800.. post your download mode screen here for make sure..
Second: you cannot reset the counter with flashing official firmware.. You need usb jig or something similar with that to reset the counter..please read thread from gnote or Sgs2..
ok..thnxs..will do later..soon after i've downloaded

Has anyone try rooting their 7.7 with SuperOneClick v2.3.3?
Nope, maybe you can try.. But i think it wont work cause the exploit only works on 2.2 and 2.3 devices..
Halo friend,
would this be safe on the Verizon tab 7.7?
Terimah kasih
I dont know, never try this on verizon device, maybe you can try it..
Aman kok, jika gagal proses root akan berhenti tanpa pengaruh ke device..
went ahead and pulled the trigger....

Well it's a rare case but if possible put stock again reset the device from inside and do cf root and philz recovery all be well
There must be some bad system file or app causing this

[GUIDE] Install CWM and ROOT without computer

I managed to root and install CWM without using a computer, here's how I did it... I was on gingerbread 2.3.6 so I installed Framaroot v1.5.2 to get root as Mobile ODIN needs root and won't work without it. link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276 then I installed Mobile ODIN (free in market) and the Mobile ODIN flash kernal here http://bit.ly/17kEetk next I download CF-Root here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 unzipped CF-Root and placed it in Mobile ODIN, when you open mobile ODIN it'll say you need to download extra data, but it's only if you're flashing firmware, you don't need to download the extra data just for flashing kernels so ignore it... flash it and Mobile ODIN will install CF-Root then it'll auto reboot... once rebooted, go into recovery mod and you should now have CWM as well as Root access.
Really cool !
I just uninstalled Feacore CWM and updated CWM to its latest version using the Recovery zip ... but I already had CWM installed.
It's good to know that we can do this for the first time, without the use of a computer.
Thank you !

hello sir if u dont mind I need a little bit of help. I am just a beganer I tried to root my phone without using pc through "z for root"app. But the process didnt compleate and app crashed & my fone got freezed(highly sluggish). Then I tried to factory reset, but I was unable to do so . After multiple attempts I succeded through recovery mode. After that I cheked my fone through titanium backup, it told that it doesnt have root access. So I searched xda and installed the app framaroot,and did the temporary root and installed super user through the same app. But after all that when I opened titanium backup. It was was unable to proceed further. Just showing "gaining root access" . So I thought something went wrong in my procees. so I decided to uninstall that superuser app, but there is nowhere option to uninstall that app. And now sometimes my fone gets sluggish & when I check program moniter . That superuser app is on. SO I WANT TO UNINSTALL SUPERUSER APP AND BRING MY PHONE TO ORIGINAL CONDITION(UNROOT/VALID WARANTY). THANKING U VERY MUCH SIR. EAGERLY WAITING FOR UR RESPONCE

A few things first
-Z4Root is outdated and only worked on 2.1
-Temporary root only gies you root access for a certain period of time and as the name suggests it is not a full root solution. This also means that even if you install Superuser it probably won't work properly. Framaroot should alow you to fully root (Aragorn exploit I think?)
To restore the phone to its complete original state just flash a stock rom over what you already have and it should get rid of Superuser

[Q] Super su binary needs to be updated.

Hey guys!
I was just already rooted the Galaxy Grand 2 with Kitkat and everytime
I going to the SuperSU app it says "SuperSU binary needs to be updated."
I go to CWM and reflash the Update_SuperSU_v2.02
After I rebooted, It still says Super SU binary needs to be updated.
How to fix this problem?
