Hi all,
I am fairly new to XDA, and used the HTC Touch Diamond 2 thread to install android on my device. However, since the short batterly life bugged me alot I decided to get the rather cheap Samsung Galaxy Gio S5660 until new phones end 2011/begin 2012 will be released.
I tried to search for a S5660 thread on the XDA forums but I couldn't find anything about this phone. Did I not search properly or is this phone just no interesting to developers? I'm looking for info mainly on a android 2.3 update.
Regards
I've been searching for this too for few days now with zero result.
I hope someone soon come out with the utility to root it easily.
Thanks.
My wife has the Gio. So i hope that we find many people who are interested on customizing this phone.
what will happen if I use one click root application for other galaxy device? has anyone try it before?

There is no way yet to remove the galaxy gio, free (but you can buy a code to unlock it).
SuperOneClick workss, I hope there comes a rom/kernel soon to get it OC to 1ghz
Thanks,
Does this mean that the method of Hex-editing "nv_data.bin" file that works on Galaxy S is not for Gio (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045)
Also i want to backup the /efs and imei. But right now the phone is new and very fast and i am wondering if it safe to root it without slowing down or bricking the phone. I really want to backup the system folder as it is under contract so i need not to void warranty.
Can any give some advice plz????
I can confirm this works fine:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
but too bad I can't find modified ROM for this model.
After I installed ROM Manager, when I attempted to install CWM, Gio is not listed in the phone model available.. It's just too bad.

I can also confirm SuperOneClick works fine on the Galaxy Gio. But I'm in the same boat - ROM Manager doesn't recognize the Gio. Any hope?
I rooted with SuperOneClick, straight up install and run with nothing fancy, and root works just fine. I haven't noticed any difference in performance, better or worse. However, ROM Mananger and Clockwork don;t support the Gio yet, and there's no mods out that I know of so overclocking isn't yet an option either.
Now its clear that Gio can be rooted with SOC but as a noob i have two further questions, some help needed plz !
1- Is there any possible way of backing up the current phone state so that in case of screw up i can revert back to original settings to claim warranty ???
2- Lastly if above is successful then does any one know how to remove the network lock to use different operator sims???
I want to know more my GT-S5660 samsung galaxygio. send root software in my postbox

Hey Guys,
I am having trouble figuring out if it is possible to root my Tab 3 7.0 and install CyanogenMod.
I am familiar with rooting/installing rooms as I have my S3 rooted but I merely followed a well put together by some smart ass dude .... hehe
I cant seem to find any easy step by step guides here. If there are any can someone post them or give me some information on how to get this done. Thanks.
Tab Info:
Model Number: SM-T210R (Canadian)
Android Version: 4.1.2
Let me know if anyone could help.
Cheers
I used the Kingo Root App for my SM-T217S Galaxy Tab 3 7.0, and it worked to perfection. I don't see why it wouldn't work for yours as well. It is really simple to do as well, only takes about five minutes. Hope this helps.

So you have rooted your S3, so I think you have expierence with Odin how to root and flash ROMs.
At the moment we have no CM ROMs, these are still under develepment.
Take a look to general threats , here you will find the first thread Videos, Guide for Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 by Tomsgt with all links.
Also you find a lot of threats for prerootet Stock Roms ore modifyed Stocktroms with deleted bloatware apps, so your Tab runs smooth without lags and stable, also I prefers to install the blackhawk kernel, with kernel is the Kernel panic mode fixed.
here are the links to tomsgt: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459817

Hello there,
I'm new to this forum, also i'm totally new to 'rooting'.
I want to root my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7105, 4.3 jelly)
I've searched around the web for quite some time now. I've read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933542, but i still have a question about it.
My phone:
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 4G
Modelnummer: GT-7105
Android-version 4.3
Baseband-version N7105XXUEMK2
In the topic of Chainfire's post of the CF-Auto-Root says GT-7105 is suitable for the CF-Auto-Root. But i'm still unsure about the Baseband-version, does the baseband-version matter?, if not is my phone then suitable for the CF-Auto Root?
(Why am i unsure about the Baseband-version; well that is because if i search on the web "GT-N7105 how to root", i find many with different baseband-versions so thats why it made me make this thread, sorry if it was a totaly useless thread and if the answer was 100% clear. But i kinda wanted to be sure before i start following the steps of CF-Auto-Root)
Hope any of you can help me with that question.
Bump
I think baseband version doesn't matter, but CF-auto root won't work anyway as there's Knox and it will block the superuser app.
Best if You change kernel (with CWM) and flash some knox free ROM.

Dylanaw,
If it helps, I flashed my GT-7105 a number of times this week to overcome an issue with my email and a poxy security feature (in the loosest of terms). Whilst I have zero affinity to one ROM or another I have eventually settled on the OMNI 4.4 ROM that you will find on the front page of the GT-7105 development page. Why? Easy really, as it is the clearest ROM in terms of steps to take and what to do :good: especially for newbs. So, if you really want to install a custom ROM then this is a good one to start with! Regards the baseband question, on this ROM my machine is displaying a baseband-version of N7105XXUMJ9.
I hope this helps.
WB
Thank you for your answers,
Does every note II got Knox?

Hi
I am new to the root / rom update world of android.
My friend just gave me her GT-S7560M which is running 4.0.4. I can somehow able to root it by using Kingroot after searching hours on internet.
I found that there are some more advance android version like Jelly Bean and kitKat.
I keep searching the internet but only found that the bluetooth of the phone will be disable for those new system. (since I need bluetooth badly)
I found the below link and it seems to difficult to me, and just wonder are there any updated version that I can updated to ?(more advance than 4.0.4)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451967
I also don't find upgrading tutorial for beginners like me to work on....
Can any brothers here can help?
Thank you very much for your time and help.

Hi there!
Firstly, thank you all for this awesome website. I recently upgraded to the Galaxy s7 and wanted to have some fun with my AT&T Galaxy Note 5. It is currently upgraded to the latest firmware and it's my understanding that a tethered root might be possible or possibly a downgrade to 5.1.1 then tethered root.
However, I can't seem to get any of the Odin firmwares to work to get the root. Every eng build I flash causes the Samsung's first splash page with Galaxy Note 5 to freeze.
Any help would be appreciated.
For the record I do not need the cellular service just the WiFi to work, not sure if that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance!
