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.

Failed to install Aroma file manager on Samsung S5

Hello. This is my first post on this forum so please correct me should i post this in the wrong cathegory or use wrong tags etc
I followed the straight-forward guide i find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
Using the recovery mode on a Samsung S5 i have the option to "Apply update from external storage" and i find the .zip file under this tab and if i try to apply the update i get the following message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've been trying this three times but i get the same error. I tried to search if other experienced the same problems but i found no similar threads.
Fyi this is on a non-rooted S5. It belonged to my grandmother which recently passed away and we are stuck trying to retrieve the photos on the device and this seemed like the best way. If there is any other way to retrieve these photos from a S5 with a pattern lock i will gladly accept any suggestions USB Debugging is obviously turned off on this phone -_-
Thank you!

You need root, a custom recovery and a terminal emulator as it seems to do this. Btw i`am sorry for your grandmother. Best is to flash a custom recovery with Odin, flash the latest superSU.zip in recovery . Reboot and install a terminal emulator from Play and follow the guide. Turn on usb debugging too.

[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?

You are in the wrong path!
Look at
Code:
META-INF\com\google\android
not at
Code:
META-INF\com\android

Oh this is embarrassing
Maybe one last question, as I did a lot of version back and forth and I am not able just to flash the bootloader or/and modem file of 19s, I would like to do a clean install of the recovery.
So if I do factory reset with data and cache and start the instalation this will be complete clean?
Or should I delete some files or folders which are beside the sdcard folder, too?

Lol , I made a factory reset and flashed the modified update.zip and now I lost my baseband. What should I do now, I don't really want to use my backup because of the wrong modem version...

when i try to flash a recovery (booting a recovery) the name of files change to strange things like "1ZHqTVOIAgWdUqtIh5WLxD" or "c0kpXH7r0OESNfLgZQCsOZboc0TkvtiKKwOeEAVAp3H", not letting me flash anything.
