Hi Guys,
Been a long time lurker here in the forums and I've had quite a few devices already. But now, I got some challenging obstacle that won't make me sleep! lol! Anyway, I just got a Samsung Grand 2 from China Mobile - Unicom (found it on an online site for a very low low price ), unfortunately, I can't root it properly , Here's the specs:
Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 (SM-G7106)
Android Version - 4.3
Bootloader - G7106ZNUANK1
CPU_ABI - Armeabi-v7a
Hardware - Qcom
I tried using Tower Root, Framaroot, but didn't work.. I tried CF Auto root (via Odin) , actually, it appeared as pass, but when I run root checker, its not appearing as it was rooted.
This is really challenging for me, but I already give up after days of sleepless nights Google-ing and trying various stuffs. I hope you guys can help me out here. Even if I can just run Google play store properly, that would be great! (tried various APK's, but didn't work as well, seems that phone is blocking it since Google is banned in China)
Thanks in Advance for all the help guys! :good:

Hi there!
I just bought my new phone recently. Went from iphone 4 to S4. Big improvement. I really love my new S4. One minor annoyance, though.
it is the bloatwares that are on my S4.
I want to root it and ONLY want to remove the bloatwares. I don't want to do anything else. I just want to be able to remove the bloatware as i don't find them useful and i could use extra space and make my phone snappy.
I am still learning my way around the website. I am sorry if this has been asked before.
Mind you, my baseband is i9505XXUBMG4 and android version is 4.2.2. I bought it unlocked.
I am bought it here in New Zealand. Most of the guides refer to phones being used in USA.
I would love a proper simple layman explanation. I would love to do a simple root just to REMOVE the bloatwares.
I am on a MAC btw. So i'd appreciate any root explanation using a MAC.
Hope this made sense. I appreciate any help! Thanks for bearing with me. cheers!
I too have a NZ S4, keep reading my friend. Probably the easiest way to debloat is to cf-root (search for it) and either uninstall apps with titanium backup (from the app store) or use the debloat aroma in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827817 if you need anymore help pm me
Sorry to be a noob to this all.. and I know this is most likely the wrong place to post this thread (this forum is huge btw)
Can someone help me.. Complete noob here, I just got myself the new GS5 and have made the switch from Apple to Android now, I only have a macbook pro and have no idea how I can root my galaxy s5 with the macbook? Can anyone help?
I am an Australian user.. who has the latest SGS 5, SM-G900I that is locked to Optus (network).
I have the latest macbook pro late 2013 edition with os x mavericks on it.
I've worked out some basics.. like I have Samsung Kies now working on the mac to do file transfer etc..
I have the developers option menu open on my GS device with USB debugging ticked..
But that's as much as I can do.. I don't know how or what program to use on my mac to perform the rooting and or what kind of rooting I need to do??
I'm not to good with terminal? or inputting commands into terminal.. complete noob with that
Can someone here.. please, please help me out and point me in the right direction.. I've looked all over google.. most info I have found though is for the GS4 or older version of android etc.
And like I said earlier.. I am overwhelmed by this forum site as it is huge and I don't know where to begin to look?
I would also like to know.. I've seen screenshots of in videos of where people have 4 + apps in their "app draw" including an internet browser..
Mine has come pre loaded with only 3 main apps in the "app draw".. these are, phone, contacts & messages + the apps button.
How can I edit/ add or remove apps in and out of that bottom app draw area, I am yet to find that option anywhere on this phone??
Hey mate, have a look here:

Hey all,
So I'm coming from a Galaxy S3 to a Note 3 that I've acquired (both VZW). On my S3 I had to use Saferoot in order to have a rooted ROM installed, and from a quick sniffing through the Note3 forums it appears I'll have to do the same for the Note3(?); I had problems trying to use Link2SD on my S3, I assume due to Saferoot (I've asked in the forums here, as well as a couple emails right to the L2SD dev, who never responds), so my question is, does L2SD actually work on the Note3 or will I be stuck in the same situation?
Thanks!
Hi there, I have a Samsung android phone which came from China. A friend of mine brought it as a gift. But there's no Google Play installed on it. I tried to install apk but it's giving error when I'm trying to open it. Anyway, I wanted to install a cfw but I couldn't find. I think phone's specifications same with the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (also name is same too). Can I install normal Grand Prime rom to my phone? Another cfw will be ok too. I achieved to root the phone but I didn't try any roms.
I think there's nobody have information about that...
What do you want to ask? What's cfw?
Nd yup you can't really install custom roms on your model.. The phone models are same but there are different variants of Grand Prime.
Cfw is custom firmware as you can guess. What can I do with it then? Is there a way to install google play on it?
So, there's no one know how to install another firmware to this phone.
Hi Guys
I've searched all over the internet and couldn't find an answer to this.. or maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935F rooted device. Exynos Octa 8890 2.60 Ghz
Android 7 Nougat
Superstock kernel
The problem is that I cannot play Marvel contest of champions anymore. Whenever I launch the game then just after the marvel logo a white block pops up and says "ms_id_sparx_error_unknown"
This happens when I download from the playstore, apk from the internet and mod apk.
I'm not sure if it's my phone, the superstock kernel or just because my phone is rooted.
Before I flashed android 7 the game worked perfectly. But my phone was not rooted at the time.
I rooted using the steps and files from xda website.
Then unrooted my phone and rooted with magisk to play Pokemon Go.
I saw some guy said to allow all permissions in settings and move the game to the ad card, but that didn't work.
Can you guys please help me to fix this problem.
Your help is much appreciated.
