[Q] Rooting my Samsung Galaxy Young

Can someone help me in rooting my samsung galaxy y? im a noob in rooting phones Can somebody tell me what to do and what file do i need in rooting a phone? and what firmware can i root on these phone.
Here's the information:
Android version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: S5360DXLC1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] 175#1
Build number: GINGERBREAD.DXLC1
Thanks in advance

first, download the attached file below and place it in your SD card (not in folder)
second, turn off your phone and go to recovery mode by pressing volume up + power button + home button all at the same time
use the volume up and down keys as your scroll keys
and choose "update from sd card"
now you will be asked to choose a file to install after that select the "update.zip" that you have placed on your sd and just reboot the phone
you are rooted when you see a "superuser app" (installed) in the app drawer

Attached File
What custom rom is in the file update.zip?

bro!! you're getting it all wrong!! to "root" means to be able to access all commands and restricted system files on your phone.
custom roms are "flashed" <--- proper term

So the first step to flash a custom rom is to root your phone?

yes, you are correct
here's an analogy:
an unrooted phone is like a pc user logged on as a "guest user"
guest users have very limited pc control.
meanwhile a rooted phone is like a pc user logged on as "administrator"
you can install programs and almost anything without restrictions

kindly read about "CWM" clockwork mod recovery because it is used to back up all your system files (your entire phone data)
ps: make a cwm back up before installing custom roms
either by madteam or by skins1980

What's the compatible clock work mod for my phone? my firmware is DXLC1

just follow the rooting process but this time after "applying update from sd card"
you should choose the "skin1980cwm.zip" instead
after choosing, it will bring you to another interface (has yellow fonts)
using the volume up and down key, scroll to the "back up and restore" option and just choose "back up"
bro, here's a video demo:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591195

already doing it now, do i need to reboot system now if the backup process is done?

yup, just choose reboot
after that you are all set to try different custom roms
i recommend hybrid 2.0 and creed's 2.0

[Q] HTC One X with 4.1.1 root issues

My One X got OTA uograde to 4.1.1. I'm trying to get root acess to install a custom rom, but it seems not to work. I've been trying several guides, but all of them refering to putting the phone in "charge only" mode when connecting it to USB. This option is no longer available in Jelly Bean...
My bootloader is unlocked, but the rooting process doesn't seem to work on my phone. I've been trying this.
Have anyone successfully rooted a stock 4.1.1-upgradet One X?

It should work and it's the same process, not sure what guide you're following or where it fails, because you neglected to mention.

I did mention in the link above. The guide from this forum...

On my phone using xda app, I just get taken to the list of One X sub forums.
You still haven't said at what point you got to or how it fails.

It fails when trying to copy files... Doesnt seems to get access. I think maybe this has to do with usb connection mode. Not able to put in charge only...

I seem to have the same problem...still checking it out

Yes the recovery takes care of that. Root only applies to everything inside the rom and stands loose from the bootloader and recovery.
Just enter the recovery and tap backup & restore and continue to make a backup. Then you can also copy the clockworkmod folder from the sdcard to the pc just to be safe........

Hi !
Yes, first you must downgrade your device to Stock Huawei Android 4.2.2 !
If you want to use CM10.1 without issue, please install stock recovery KitKat , flash in the stock recovery -> firmware B120 CN version, now you must install TWRP R03.1 recovery & finally you can install CM10.1 !
Good luck !

I didn't say that your solution doesn't work, just I say : your solution is a wrong way to revert to CM10.1 , using Stock Huawei Kitkat with custom recovery TWRP 2.6.3.5 !
Even you have issue of TWRP , after you followed your way , so you must understand why ...

True but the idea is that this way won't brick the phone, of course it's not perfect, but the phone it's safe. The user is free to follow your solution of course.

Root66 firmware is in my thread in development section, link in my sig. Youll find instructions for Odin there and all over the place with a quick search and from the sticky threads. Not being rude, just don't like redoing what's already out there. If you have any specific questions about the process, ill be happy to answer them.

Flashing any recovery or kernel trips the warranty bit. No way around that and no way to reset it I'm sorry to say. Since you've flashed recovery its likely tripped already so flashing kernels and roms won't make any difference anymore. The binary counter doesn't matter as its easily reset. But if you have a custom kernel or recovery it'll retrip to 1 every time you boot.

You can flash Any of these roms via Custom Recovery TWRP and you will do fine.
Do note, some people have mentioned that with a 4.2.x or 4.1.x Roms, sometimes their IMEI goes missing. So take a Nandroid and EFS Backup before hand.

Perseus mentioned the nv (efs) backup before. Easiest way to protect yourself is open a terminal emulator and enter this.
su
reboot nvbackup
Device will reboot and create an internal, hidden backup of your nv data. I highly suggest doing this.

If you mean you made a nandroid backup, that is completely different and does not include any of the NV data. The backup I mentioned is intended to protect you from ever losing your imei in the first place.

I used this method.

Ok , first, never use anything you find in the international models forum for any US model. They are very, very different devices. If you made an image from mmcblk0p3 as stated in that thread, you actually made a copy of sbl2 I'm pretty sure.
Also, the imei, (the important thing here) is not actually stored on the efs partition as it is in some other devices.
Run the command I posted before for the best solution. If NV corruption is ever detected, it should auto restore from this backup during boot up.
And again, stay away from the international forums. Most of the info there will not apply to our devices here and many, many people have bricked due to that mistake.
And delete the backup you made. If you were to try and restore it to your device after updating it at some point, it would most likely cause a brick.

OK thanks I'll get on that . I flashed a remix ROM and everything seems good right now. I'll try to back it up today.

Read up on Kit Kat, you might not want to upgrade. You will lose write access to the SDCard. There are ways to then fix it, but you could lose function in some of your apps. Samsung finally adopted the Android specs for write access.

Hello I tried rooting my device using Kingo Root, well it was rooted successfully. Now, I messed up in deleting some bloatware apps from a list I saw before making a backup .

Please let me know what to do, I just want to make the phone the way I got it then root it.
ps: I googled and some say flash the stock room, I'm scared to flash it because I don't know the firmware version of my phone since I can't access the About device of my phone. I'm in the Philippines btw.
pps: I don't know if it might help but, I installed Kies and the fimware was the latest and it was: PDA:NC2 / PHONE:NA3 / CSC:NC2 (AFR); I don't know how to read that, no google result so far. I'm planning to download firmware from this site: //samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9082

You can use Partition Backup app. Nandroid backup will backup most of the main partition, but i prefer third party app which will show some unseen partition.
As for the memory thing, i believe @Yousef Mohamed have better knowledge, he even made a flashable zip for expanding the internal memory size.

Gonna try it out thanks. I'm going to do what I learned from here to my future devices Yeah, I hope Yousef does reply.

EFS is most important "recoverable" partition
Bootloader partitions are the most important because without them you can't even boot the phone ( you can't boot to download mode , recovery mode or even the OS )
So you can't recover it
