Thank you for this explanation, however Ive got a problem when carrying out these steps.
I tried many different update.zip's but they all give me a status 7 error. "Installation aborted" it follows...
I am very sure I did the steps as you described them precisely.
Could you please inform me on how I can still root my phone?
Thank you in advance,
Cheers

Hello!
I'm busting my head off for a few days trying to root my S6310.

I've tried with another memory card, same thing.
My android version is 4.1.2.
Any hints?

Samsung Galaxy Y Young GT-S5360.
My Superuser binary update failed! What should I do now?
Installing aborted error
I have tried to install it on stock firmware now, and also to install other ZIPs, also fir but I see the text
"Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installation <something>
Installation aborted."
On firmwares, on root (update.zip - in the root of a fresh-formatted SD), on other .zip fixes - the same situation.
Help!
Thanks
Thanks just having to use one of these samsung young as a crappy temp phone while i wait for my sony experia Z to be repaired wish the Z had rooted as easy as this samsung just did LOL but thank you made life much easier now to unlock the dam thing.
After rooting I am not able to install some apps in my phone like WPS connect.
Note: This is an old phone. It's no longer being supported by Samsung, and I see that nobody is selling this phone except for eBay or Amazon. I also have a new phone now and my Discover is simply sitting there for me to have fun with. I won't be actively developing for this phone. However, I will provide support with any issues you may encounter. This thread will be kept here for future reference if anyone needs help.
Update (2022): I am no longer using Android. This is my last update here.Copies of the relevant files are shared in this google drive link:
SGH740M Root Files - Google Drive
drive.google.com
Please thank Ivdoan he is the mastermind behind finding and implementing root for this phone.
Thanks to JohnnyGalto for giving us updated CWM, TWRP, and Partition Tables!
THIS THREAD IS INTENDED TO USE ONLY FOR THE SGH-S730M, AND NOT FOR ANY OTHER PHONE. I CANNOT CONFIRM THAT IT WILL WORK ON ANY OTHER SGH-S730 VARIANTS, SO USE THIS THREAD AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DATA LOSS, OR BRICKING THAT IS A RESULT FROM YOU CHOOSING TO ROOT. HOWEVER, IF YOU SOFT BRICK YOUR PHONE, IT CAN BE FIXED VIA CLOCKWORK RECOVERY. WARNING ABOUT USING ODIN: IF YOU ARE A NOOB, ONLY CLICK ON THE BUTTONS I TELL YOU TO CLICK, AND NOTHING ELSE. I ACCIDENTALLY SOFT BRICKED MY PHONE BECAUSE I HIT THE WRONG BUTTON WHILE USING ODIN - AND DONT WANT YOU TO DO THE SAME THING. AND LASTLY, ROOTING AND MODDING THIS PHONE WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. SINCE THERE IS NO OFFICIAL WAY TO RETURN TO STOCK, ONCE YOU MODIFY YOUR PHONE: YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN FATE!

Issues and Bugs (Known Problems)
Okay, with deodexing - sometimes the SamsungIME.apk in the /system/app directory can be a pain to deal with! I put a warning in my deodex CWR script that tells about this issue. It does seem to correct itself overtime, so I am not too worried at the moment (but still very annoyed).
Also, it seems that many users have been experiencing strange battery problems (such as the phone suddenly losing half of its charge in 3 minutes). I hope it is an software issue (correctable), or just a battery issue (fixable), rather than a hardware issue (hard to fix).
Rooting, Custom Recovery, and Unbricking Guide (Everyone)
]If you want to root your phone then follow part A.
If you want to root your phone and add custom recovery then follow parts A and B.
If you have soft bricked your phone, then please complete all steps outlined below (if not already done yet).
The tutorial is done on a Windows computer and is meant for a Windows computer. Steps will vary slightly or tremendously if it is done on any other OS.
Part A - Rooting the SGH-S730m
1. Download and install UnlockRoot Free on your PC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO INSTALL BLOATWARE!!! PLEASE READ SETUP INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!!!
2. Download and Install Samsung USB Drivers. If it prompts you to reboot for any reason, then reboot your Computer.
3. After all of this is over, you have to prepare yourself for the hardest part of this whole process, and maybe the most complicated dilemma you will ever face in the entirety of your lives.
4. Turn on your phone if it isn't already. Wait for the phone to fully boot.
5. Plug your phone into the computer via USB.
6. Run UnlockRoot on your computer and click the "Root" Button (when it prompts you to install bloatware apps on your device, say no).
DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR PHONE UNTIL UnlockRoot SAYS IT IS OK TO DO SO!!!!
Congratulations, you have should now have a rooted SGH-730m in proximity to your hands! :fingers-crossed:
How to verify your 730M is rooted
If by any reason, you feel unsure as to if your phone is actually rooted or not:
Install a root checking app.
These apps will tell you if your phone has root access or not.
Try Root Checker from the Google Play Store.
Install a terminal emulation app.
In these apps, type the command "su" (without quotes). If you get "permission denied" you have not rooted your device. If it prompts you for root privileges (ie a popup appears) then your device is rooted!
Try Terminal Emulator from the Google Play Store.
If you are a n00b (like me occasionally), and you fail to understand why something works, or, the exact opposite: Don't worry! You probably thought the auxiliary headphone jack was the USB port, or, thought you should unplug your phone early, despite me warning you not to do that. That's okay, you can get it fixed.
Part B - Installing a Custom Recovery
If you are not already acquainted with the idea of Custom Android Recovery, don’t be afraid. It allows developers, tweakers and noobs alike to backup, restore, fix, and to install custom ROMs and Kernels designed specifically for their device. It becomes extremely useful, because it allows people to remove “soft bricks†from their devices (which occurs when someone flashes data to the wrong device, or wrong parts of the device respectively).
I know you probably just want to not read this stuff anyways But I need to pay tribute to the developers Ivdoan and JohnnyGalto for there amazing work at compiling these custom binaries for the Samsung Galaxy Discover. Thanks guys.
So, lets get started – shall we?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
YOU MUST ROOT YOUR PHONE BEFORE YOU DO THIS!!!!!
1. Download either the SGH_S730M.CWM_6.0.3.1.custom.recovery.tar.zip or the SGH_S730M.TWRP_2.5.0.0.custom.recovery.tar.zip file, and extract its contents to your desktop (if you don’t know what a desktop is, then please leave. You will probably break your device).
Just to clarify for those noobs out there: CWR stands for “ClockWork Recovery†and TWRP stands for “Team Win Recovery Projectâ€. They both are custom recoveries, and basically do the same thing. Personally, I would recommend the CWR for people that just want simplicity, and the TWRP for people that want more appeal. TWRP for this device is still under development, so be careful!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. Then, download the Odin Flashing Program attached to this post. Extract its contents to wherever you find necessary.
DO NOT MESS WITH ODIN! IT IS NOT A TOY! IT CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE!
Odin, is a flashing tool. It is not made to be user friendly, and is meant for people who know how to use it. I will be very blunt by saying that I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU NOT DOING EXACTLY WHAT I TELL YOU! PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. Right Click on Odin, and click “Run as Administrator†(if available).
4. CLICK ON THE PDA BUTTON
5. When the file window appears, browse to the desktop directory (your desktop) and select either the S730M-CWR.tar.md5 or the S730M-TWRP.tar.md5 (depending on what version you downloaded).
6. Now shutdown your phone. Plug your phone into your computer. Boot into download mode by turning on the phone (release the power button as the phone vibrates) and holding the lower volume button and home key. Follow the instructions (press the upper volume button) to continue with download mode.
7. If your phone has been detected by Odin, the proceed.
8. Inside of Odin, press the Start button.
DO NOT DISCONNECT, UNPLUG, PLAY WITH ANY BUTTONS, OR CLICK ANYTHING ON EITHER THE PHONE OR COMPUTER UNTIL ODIN HAS FINISHED FLASHING CLOCKWORK RECOVERY ON YOUR PHONE.
8. To boot into clockwork recovery, hold down the upper volume and power key until the first vibration, then just hold the volume key.
That should be IT! :highfive:
Part C - Soft Brick Recovery (CWM Recovery Only!)
YOU MUST HAVE A MICRO SD CARD WITH AT LEAST 400 MB OF FREE STORAGE SPACE TO DO THIS!
build.prop restore script
You need busybox installed on your phone in order to use this script! If you dont have busybox, it wont work.
If you messed up your build.prop file (If you did, then you will know that you did), then you can use this script to restore you build.prop file to the original stock format.
1. Download the build.prop restore script, to your device (preferably a computer).
2. Place the zip file to the root (/) directory of your micro SD Card.
3. Remove the SD card from the computer, and turn off the SGH-S730M.
4. Remove the back plating from the phone, and insert the micro SD card into the phone. It should be named SGH-S730M CWR stock build.prop.
5. After putting the phone back together, boot into recovery by holding down the upper volume and power key until the first vibration, then just hold the volume key.
6. Using the volume buttons as scrolling keys, scroll down using the lower volume until you see install zip from sdcard as highlighted text. Using the power key as the enter button, click the power button.
7. Then, also using the volume keys, scroll down to the choose zip from sdcard option, and click the power button.
8. If you placed the zip file exactly where I told you to: you should see SGH-S730M CWR stock build.prop as an item. Scroll down to the file and click the power button. Then, when it prompts you to "Confirm Install", scroll down to "Yes - install".
9. Press the power button.
WAIT FOR THE PHONE TO BE 100% DONE EXECUTING THE SCRIP! YOU COULD MESS UP THE PHONE. DO NOT TURN OFF THE PHONE.
Full Restore (If all else fails)
To reduce confusion, please remove any backups that you may already have (which would be funny, you wouldnt have to do this anyways).
1. Download the rooted stock CWM Recovery Image (.zip) from here, to your device (preferably a computer). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2677332
2. Extract ALL of the contents of the zip file to the root (/) directory of your micro SD Card. The folder should be named "clockworkrecovery".
3. Remove the SD card from the computer, and turn off the SGH-S730m.
4. Remove the back plating from the phone, and insert the micro SD card into the phone.
5. After putting the phone back together, boot into recovery by holding down the upper volume and power key until the first vibration, then just hold the volume key.
6. Using the volume buttons as scrolling keys, scroll down using the lower volume until you see backup and restore as highlighted text. Using the power key as the enter button, hit the power button.
7. Then, also using the volume keys, scroll down to the restore option, and click the power button.
8. If you extracted the zip file the exact way I told you to: you should see a menu option. If you didn't do what I told you to, you may see "No files found". If it says "cant mound /sd" (or something similar), you probably have a bad SD Card, or, forgot to put it in correctly.
9. Press the power button.
WAIT FOR THE PHONE TO BE 100% DONE RESTORING YOUR BACKUP TO THE PHONE! YOU COULD HARD BRICK THE PHONE (BECAUSE CWM RECOVERY WRITES TO THE BOOTLOADER). DO NOT TURN OFF THE PHONE. THE PHONE IS NOT FROZEN IF IT WONT RESPOND FOR A WHILE.
10. If you did this correctly, you should have a rooted, and restored SGH-S730m!
Part E - Removing that annoying triangle from the boot sequence
Use the triangleaway script in the attatchments. (triangleaway.zip)
It resets flash counter and resets binary status to official.
Might have to do a factory reset to return current status to official.
Boot your phone into recovery mode
Extract triangleaway.sh from the zip file.
Open up ADB Shell
push triangleaway.sh /tmp
chmod 755 triangleaway.sh
execute triangleaway.sh
Reboot Phone.
Overclocking and Modding (DEVELOPERS ONLY)
SYSTEM MODS
If you don't know what you are doing, then, please don't read any further. its for your own good
The CSC directory can be deleted (and the files in the main /system directory that are associated with it). It does not affect the phone at all. Also, If you go to /system/etc/feature_default.xml you can change the phones features. So far, I have done many tweaks to the Messaging, Phone, Settings, People (Contacts) and Lock screen of the phone! If you are a developer (or tweaker like me), you should be able to enable/disable whatever you like using the feature_default.xml.
Overclocking
FitAmp has made a overclocking script for 1GHz (1000MHz). There is quite a noticeable difference in response, but, the phone still tends to lag a bit. File is attatched to the thread (S730M-OC-1000MHz.zip)
Custom ROMs
Custom ROMS by atmu5fear. All flashable ZIPs. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2677332
I'm also making one for the Discover. It should be coming soon.
Please click :good: if it works for you!

8. Inside of odin, press the start button.
do not disconnect, unplug, play with any buttons, or click anything on either the phone or computer until odin has finished flashing clockwork recovery on your phone.
8. To boot into clockwork recovery, hold down the upper volume and power key until the first vibration, then just hold the volume key.
That should be it! :highfive:

wait for the phone to be 100% done restoring your backup to the phone! You could hard brick the phone (because cwm recovery writes to the bootloader). Do not turn off the phone. The phone is not frozen if it wont respond for a while.
10. If you did this correctly, you should have a rooted, and restored sgh-s730m!
part d - soft brick recovery (twrp recovery only!)coming soon..
part e - removing that annoying triangle from the boot sequence..to a thread near you! (it's already here. I'm just organizing them so it is easier to understand and to use)
deodexing, overclocking and modding (developers only)
deodexing you rom
you must have a micro sd card with at least 100 mb of free storage space to do this!
so, after some work (and tons of patience), i managed to make a deodexed version of this phone. So, ive made a deodex script for cwr, that will remove you old /system/app and /system/framework directories, and makes new ones, with the new deodexed files.*
now, since this is considered a more "advanced" tweak, i am not going to post a step-by-step guide on how to do this.
Why? Well, if you really needed instructions to do this: You probably shouldn't be doing it anyways!
For developers: Make sure you have busybox installed, then install the zip here via cwr (its easy to see what file it is). Remember to wipe dalvik cache. There are some temporary bugs with the samsungime.apk, which wont work right for a while. Mysteriously though, the problem corrects itself after some time using the phone. Reply your findings!
For noobs: Don't do this, it will just make no difference, and i honestly don't feel like solving problems that don't need to be solved (or, ones due to illiteracy). Wait until you know what you are doing (and what an odex file is), then try this yourself.
system mods
if you don't know what you are doing, then, please don't read any further. Its for your own good
the csc directory can be deleted (and the files in the main /system directory that are associated with it). It does not affect the phone at all.
Also, if you go to /system/etc/feature_default.xml you can change the phones features. So far, i have done many tweaks to the messaging, phone, settings, people (contacts) and lock screen of the phone! If you are a devleloper (or tweaker like me), you should be able to enable/disable whatever you like using the feature_default.xml.
overclocking
fitamp has made a overclocking script for 1ghz (1000mhz). There is quite a noticeable difference in response, but, the phone still tends to lag a bit. File is attatched to the thread (s730m-oc-1000mhz.zip)
please click :good: If it works for you!

Hey guys,
have we found a way to fix my problem with the phone, I still have no access to download, recovery, normal boot and it stays on for 7 secs max. This has ocured because I flashed the wrong file to modem. Let me know as I want to start working on development again.

I've searched around a bit, and the best option would be to send it for repair IMO.

SGH-730G Users ONLY
Here is a thread I started this morning about the SGH-730G (Tracfone, Net10, Straight Talk) variant of the Discover. I created this thread so there wouldn't be confusions due to the slight differences between the 730G and the 730M variants. Right now there is a root method listed, and I am working on an Odin flashable recovery from soft brick. I will also be posting things that I have figured out so far, and in the next day or so a full deodexed version of the stock firmware. Coming later will be a custom rom. If anyone in this thread has dev experience and has the 730M variant, PM me about this custom rom as I would like to make it compatible with both versions of the phone but will have to work out the differences between the two to make it fully compatible. New thread for the 730G - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47417608

Word. I know some people were confused in another thread. Root methods are basically the same but there are structual differences between them when it comes to mounting points for restore and such. Thanks for addinthe link to the OP. I'll go back in a few and add a link here in my OP for the same purpose.
Does anyone know how to carrier unlock for this phone yet.

Take a look at This, I've created a flashable zip that both roots the phone and installs the overclock kernel found in this thread. Thought you might be interested
edit: I also just posted a flashable stock rom here. it's deodexed, rooted, and overclocked.

Did you make a CWM backup before doing it? If you did, boot into CWM recovery and flash the recovery package.
The update.zip worked for me, but I didn't use the SD card method, so I can't verify this works right now. Give this method a shot and tell me if it works.
IF YOU ARE ON PH1, rename this S7Nupdate.zip to update.zip and follow the quoted instructions.
IF YOU ARE ON PI3, rename this PI3_PK4update.zip to update.zip and follow the quoted instructions.
UPDATE: S7update2.zip Rename this to update.zip and follow the same procedure AFTER YOU HAVE UPDATED TO THE FIRST BETA(PK4).
zimgir124 said:
A method has been found to install the beta without being accepted!
Thanks @jrkruse for finding this method!
1. reboot to download mode (power + volume up +home) and make sure phone says Official under system and binary.
2. If it does not then you must odin the PH1 firmware, use the pit file and the full csc not the home csc file
3. go through setup
4. enable developer options
5. turn OEM unlock off
6. enable USB debugging
7. place Update.zip on Ext sd card in folder named fota
8. power off phone
9. reboot to download mode make sure both system and binary are official.
10. reboot to recovery (Power + volume down + home)
11. choose apply Update.zip from SD card
12. find Update.zip in the fota folder you created on your Ext sdcard
13. click yes to apply
After this it should update to the Android 7.0 beta and hopefully will be able to download future beta OTAs.
You will not lose anything as this is an OTA
You do not want to be rooted. You must be stock for this to work!
There is no gear VR available on the beta.
Troubleshooting:
"E: footer is wrong" followed by "E: signature verification failed" : Decrypt SD Card and try again.

Will it work with 930u firmware on a verizon phone?
It worked for me... Pm me your PayPal address for the pledge I made
No sir. I didn't do anything special other than being the first to upload a file. I haven't done anything to deserve any payment. My time is free on this.
also can verify it works.. Thank you so much!

Perhaps too many people are downloading all at once. Maybe try again in a few minutes. I just tried and was able to get through.
Excellent, I'll keep trying. So all i have to do is rename it update.zip and make a folder in my sdcard called fota and update through recovery? Internal sdcard or external?

Awesome. Thanks for all your help guys!
1. reboot to download mode (power + volume up +home) and make sure phone says Official under system and binary.
where do I find the official? Doesn't say anything under download mode or settings. Downloading zip now. Thanks so much.
found it under settings/about phone/status on very bottom.
I'm at 91% complete by using update over ADB, since I didn't have an SD card available. Will report back.
Update: Working great!
I downloaded the update, changed the name to update.zip, downloaded minimal ADb and fastboot, put the phone in download mode, selected 'update over adb', and then used adb sideload update.zip....boom...success!
I'll tell you what...I have a new car with Android Auto, which I use to listen to Spotify, mostly. The audio quality is noticably and significantly better on the nougat update with performance mode enabled. It made my day!
Thanks for taking the time to grab the file, OP!

If you want to see your firmware version:
1. Vision settings
