Okay so I rooted the GT-S7560 or the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 X using the Duos method mentioned in this thread. This phone is showing up everywhere in Canada right now through the usual channels and I wanted to clarify the process a bit for others who stumble upon this thread. I have attached a zip file containing the files I used and a word doc with instructions. It's the same as the Galaxy Duos except for entering recovery I could not figure out the button configuration to do it so I used ADB and sent the reboot recovery command. I later learned the vol button is a rocker and to press the center of the vol button the power and home all at the same time to enter recovery.
I seek no credit, just trying to make it easier for the next.
I have tested root on a couple of apps and everything seems to working great with no issues.

Hello everyone I have bricked my note 2 and suddenly I can't boot because it's stucked on the Samsung Logo. After i installed a font program it said that I had to reboot and then I did.
And then I was trying to recover with "recovery-cwm-6.0.1.5-N7100"
But right now it doesn't display more than Samsung galaxy note 2...
Would be awesome if you guys can help me
Well youre in luck because if it showing a Samsung logo its not bricked.
Second just flash the factory image found in the android development forum. You can do this by booting into download mode by holding the power button and home button and volume down as it boots and then use odin to flash the .tar factory image you just downloaded...its simple really. So dont panic because its entirely fixable!
Just go find a guide on how to flash factory images and youll find step by step Instructions

I'd have to be shown it is possible to brick a high end samsung device. Between recovery and in the worst cases Odin or in some cases emergency recovery in Kies I have recovered from a complete non bootable phone. No vibrate, no splash screen, nothing. One of the real positives to Samsung and their software. An, as far as I am concerned, virtually unbrickable smartphone.

Ill tell you a way. Go flash some roms from other phones see what kind of damage that does. Most people dont make efs backups until its too late. See jow many times you can flash in correct roms before you lose that all important imei

If you soft-bricked your phone because you messed up the fonts like me just now, you don't have to reflash the entire ROM!
Instead it's enough to just restore the fonts via one of the zip files found [URL="]http://tips4droid.com/how-to-install-jelly-bean-font-by-flashing-it-through-cwm-recovery/#.US8t2Ddc1ic"here:[/URL]
I copied the zip file to my external SD card and then used CWM Recovery to install it to my phone.
To enter CWM Recovery, press Volume UP, Home and Power Button at the same time.
Hope this is helpful!

There might be others, such as me, you know...
what i did the other day was.....
i was installing different ROMs. maybe 3 or 4 a day just to get a feel for different ones. Since i am using a t889 on NET10's ATT network, i wanted to ATTEMPT to change over my phones hardware or internal settings to pick up the ATT towers better... my phone is already unlocked for ATT, so whatever im attempting is not needed. not knowing exactly what I'm doing I confused myself a bit. I went to the GooManager recovery page and was wiping all my information so i can install another ROM. while wiping the information off my phone, i was browsing through my SD card i had in the phone and saw a modem pack i put on it. FORGETTING that i just deleted everything i went ahead and just installed the modem pack and rebooted my phone. lol it got stuck on the SAMSUNG GALAXT NOTE 2 page. my MAC, PC & KIES on both weren't picking up my phone via USB. i left the phone attached to my PC and went to get dinner. came back 2 hours later and saw that my phone was connected to the computer. I ran ODIN, put a stock image of tmobiles system on the phone and had to start over with my ROM experiment.
needless to say, i was bummed thinking that i just broke such a nice phone.

And bricked means brick...paperweight...no life, no lights
I prefer Sponged=soft-bricked means you can odin in stock firmware and restore service
Hey everyone
I've got a Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N and I've got a huge problem.
It first started out with me trying to root my phone, everything seemed to go well until i tried to turn my phone on, which resulted in it being stuck on the samsung logo, I snooped around the internet trying to find a solution and was recommended to reflash with different tar files but nothing worked. I tried to reset to factory settings through recovery mode but I couldn't even access the recovery mode. I then tried to get back to factory settings using Samsung Kies but after the whole installation it didn't seem to work either. I tried almost everything possible, I checked out every link on the first page of google relating to my problem yet nothing works. The only thing I can do is enter download mode and that's it.

Very different internals in your Galaxy S3 Mini compared to the tmobile galaxy s3 t999. Did you flash using the methods from this forum? If so youre using the wrong files. Head on over to s3 mini sub forum and see if you can get some answers there.

Yea that was for the original s3 varients not the mini. Spend some time over at the other forum and see what they have to say. Take it slow too! Its better to spend a day or two without a phone and getting it right then to rush a fix and end up ruining it!!
the fact that you can still enter download mode is good though. If kies still recognizes your phone when its in download mode then I think it will be an easy fix. Again though, research over on that subforum as it will be your best bet!
Ynt: [Q] Phone stuck on the Samsung logo and won't go into recovery
You can use Odin to flash another rom. I have been in the same situation and rooted with stock rom via odin and succeed.

Thanks for the new breath of hope! I thought this phone was completely done for. I'd gladly have no phone for a week or two as long as I get a fix for it.
I think we've all been in that situation before! I hard bricked my sprint s3 by flashing an internation rom...oops. there was no saving that one

Me too
yeah well i've got the same problem. I accidentally turn off my phone via removing the battery while its still on . Then after that , it's stuck on the samsung logo . What to do ?
Boot recovery and factory reset. (If it's stock recovery it will wipe your internal sdcard)
If that doesn't work Odin flash the stock firmware.

Hi, just a quick question.
Firstly, my extreme paranoia is the main reason I've posted this question. I have a Samsung I9190 Galaxy S4 mini, and I followed the rooting procedure by Arco: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398143 and at step 7, I wasn't fast enough to press the buttons and the phone started up to the homescreen, so I switched the phone off and went into recovery mode (Volume up + Home + Power buttons) and carried on with the steps from there. Everything seems to have worked and my phone is now rooted and working fine, but as I said, I'm very paranoid :silly: so I just want to know if I need to worry about not doing step 7 properly, since it seems to be an important step. This is the first time I've rooted a phone btw.
Thanks!

You dont need to worry. Everything is ok
the rooting process worked,it means your phone r successfully installed the su binary and the superuser management app.installing this two little thing did not cause any problem,even if u removem

Thanks for the reply. Just 1 more question what will I do after? Is this to check if you have successfully done it?
10. Restart directly to recovery mode before rebooting into OS.(Hold POWER, Volume UP, and the HOME button all at the same time. When you see the Samsung Logo, let go of the POWER button, but keep holding the Volume UP and HOME until you see the recovery screen).

Yes, if you don't perform step 10, stock recovery will be installed again when you reboot.
This is probably dumb to even post but tried rooting my phone with cf-auto-root SM 928 T running 5.1 1 downloaded the correct on is the correct version for cf-auto-root notice it wouldn't identify my phone on the Odin screen.. Anyway after numerous attempts I was bummed because it kept bootlooping :/ now I'm stuck with a beautiful shiny paperweight. It won't do anything! I don't care if you hold the volume up volume down power button menu button same time I have tried everything I found on here and Android authority. There's not a single light that shines on this beauty that shows me that it was working ever!! I have the phone backed up on my computer with Smart Switch but.. don't know. Anyway, hope everyone has a good New Years

Here is the step by step instructions on how to get your phone working properly again.
This link also has download links for everything you need to flash:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...rmware-g928t-complete-untouched-boh6-t3198387
By the way there is NO cf-autoroot which is compatible with our phones. You need to flash a rooting kernel
which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...ernel-stock-modified-kernel-touchwiz-t3229557
Before you can use the rooting kernel you need to follow the instructions here:

Thanks Mr junkie actually plugged it into the car charger and got a spark out of it put it in safe mode it started charging turn it off turn it back on and now I have a rooted device! Very happy with this how I can send back the note 5 I've been holding out from T Mobile on my jump program for 2 months lol sure came in handy today have a great New Years.
Check root checker said it was rooted then immediately went into boot loop oMG been working on it for the last 11 hours with a computer that just does not want to load the files you have told the community to download when in trouble. Anyway factory reset my computer Lenovo yoga pro 3 going to give another go at it can't really have such a beautiful phone only used as a paperweight :/ my galaxy 4 s5 and Nexus 6 rooted with a breeze still not giving up though obviously. I'll keep you posted thanks for all your help though I know I'm going in the right direction with your help.
CF Auto root is the Bomb! 928t variant good to go!!
