Samsung Galaxy 551 / GT i5510 rooting

Greetings,
I'm new to the android world, my device is Samsung Galaxy 551 or GT-I5510. As I searched through the internet, uncle G! and aunt Y!, even brother B!.. the only way to save internal space is to move apps to SD card. But the way it works is limited, not until the phone is rooted.
It would be nice if someone kind enough to point me on how to root this device or maybe a documentations / links / tutorials.
Here's what I've tried with vain (I wonder if I did something wrong in the proccess) :
- "how to install apps to the sdcard on froyo" : tutorial from Androinica
- z4root apps
- universal androot
Spec of this device :

All kind of help will be appreciated, and since its my first post (thought I read the rules and do search before posting), please tell me if I did something wrong.
Updates :
Rooting possible using Super One Click

Hi guys!
My girlfriend ordered the GT-i5510 today...
I also need root for this device....
greetz

First post updated. Now its no longer a questions, problem solved

I was able to permanently root my Galaxy 551 using Z4Root 1.3.0.
Is there a way for us to enable Live Wallpapers on this phone?
And also my phone has an IMEI of 15 0's which limits my phone to use other networks other than one... Will changing the ROM fix this?

using terminal is a little harder, and not all the time working.
you can connect your phone to computer, activate USB Debugging, start adb shell and copy paste line by line there
!!! your phone must be rooted and you have to give root permission to adb or terminal

ZenFone 2E Root, ROM, the works?

Would it be possible to divert a little more attention to this budget model? It's over all a great device and the only thing lacking is the software side of things.

A little update. Got the device into fastboot mode which lists general info on the phone(model, varient, etc.), but what I found interesting is that secure boot is listed as "?". Does this mean the bootloader comes unlocked from the factory? How hard would it me to port over twrp of cwm? Also, the fastboot/bootloader(?) interface seems to be touch based so that's nice.
EDIT: Added the bit on the touch gui.

Okay, that clears things up a bit. Do you think the zf2 bootloader unlock method would unlock this device or maybe an email to asus support?

No one knows, the unlock method for the ZF2 is unofficial so Asus won't support it anyways.

I need help finding the stock rom for the zenfone 2E. I was messing around with it after I rooted it and I messed something up. I can load recovery so I just thought if I could get the stock rom I might be able to just flash it from the stock recovery. I'm hoping this will fix my phone, but I can't find the stock rom ANYWHERE! Thank you.

Asus usually keeps their stock firmwares here: https://www.asus.com/us/Phones/ZenFone-2E-US-ATT-exclusive/HelpDesk_Download/ so it might show up soon. Can't you reset the device from the recovery?

I looked through the website and I only found the Stock rom for the zenfone 2, but nothing on the zenfone 2E. I hope i'm not just missing it. I've tried a factory reset through the recovery and I also cleared the cache many times, but yet it still doesn't work. Its frustrating because its just one line of code that I added and if i could just go into the files itself and delete it then i would be just fine. btw thanks for the reply. Much Appreciated!

If you can get someone else with a zf2e to run the commands here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62211408&postcount=10 that would give you the file foran OTA update that could reset the file you edited. What did you edit?

I was trying to change a line that's associated with the emulated sd card. I had inserted my micro sd card into the phone so I can see all the pictures I had on it/ listen to all my music, but it wouldn't read any of the files i had on my micro sd card. Like if i went into my music player it would say 0 songs when I know for a fact I have around 600 songs. the thing I thought was weird and annoing was if i go into my file manager i could find all the songs and play them directly. same with my pictures. I found this website that was showing me how to manually force the phone to read the external sd card verses the emulated one. I went into /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml. Inside platform.xml i found the line " name="android.permissions.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" " Then I added <group gid="media_rw"/> right after <group gid=”sdcard_rw”/>. The more I looked at the site made me realize this was meant for kitkat...I have lollipop.

//First off, if I knew how to dump roms I would. Secondly, how did you root? Maybe with root I can make better use of any rom dumping utilities?
Correction, I do in fact need the root method you used so I can force download the ota for you.

It seems the kernel source is listed openly on the Asus website, could we get an official root method from that? Also this phone seems to be just a ze500cl with half the ram and internal storage so would the root method for that phone work here for now?

Thank you. I'll root and pull and update for you.

Still working on a romdump, the commands cmendonc2 gave me don't seem to work here.

Have you tried the bootloader unlock that the zenfone 2 has?

Nope. $120 is a little steep for my budget to replace if something goes wrong...

Did the tethered cwm / twrp recovery work on this devices I'm looking for the dumps?

yeah I just did the tethered cwm root on my wife's phone and it worked perfectly. any specific partition you need a dump of? I don't really want to upload the whole phone.
does anyone know of a working cwm/twrp recovery replacement for the 2e?

Lenovo ViBE p1 Root

Hi everyone. I am new and I agree that I am complete noob in this field. I have never did any update to my stock vibe p1 ROM because it runs very smoothly and I never encountered a single issue like other users had. Now I want to just Root it but I don't want any upgrades( in terms of version update). I know that this question may have been answered earlier but all the listed method is so confusing. Can anyone please just put the step by step instruction on how to root my vibe p1 and please share the link of the necessary files in this thread. I am sorry for wasting your time but I need to root it to gain access to my network settings. Thanks in advance. :angel:

Thanks for reply. That is the exact thing I meant when i called myself noob. My build is p1a_42_s137_151028_ROW. I did mentioned I got confused though I know this is not a new topic. I think the process (in the link) is for upgrades and what I want is just root because I never got a 100% satisfied user after any upgrades let it be via ota(starting with 30mb patch) or custom Row. My handset works perfectly fine. No lag no heating , no battery draining, etc. I want to root because I want to tweak network settings which is not possible with non rooted mode as SQL is not accessable. Sorry i was not able to provide whole info but I truly don't use blogs or social sites so I lack the idea.

Tell me one thing!
When you tried to root your phone with kingo root tool, did you activated USB Debugging option from developer section ?
If not, activate this option from developer option and try again.
To activate this option you must go to : Settings/About phone/Device information/Build number and press fast many times on it till developer tab is activated.
Go to Settings/Developer options and activate the option from there.
Write here what is going on.

There is a bootloader lock on the phone. Applications is useless. The bootloader must first be unlocked, or root application must be installed on the rom. The best solution for you is to unlock the bootloader lock and install twrp. Please see the following page:

Well I can only say that with my rom 288 the process was If you have already unlocked bootloader is using QFIL and selecting rawprogram_twrp.xml put supersu zip on your sd card boot into twrp recovery and install supersu zip.

It probably works with the qfil file of your same rom. You need to add and flash bootloader files into the same rom(data can be deleted). ROM version is not important for the bootloader file. If the process is successful, you can install twrp and supersu.zip

twrp/root A70

hi,
A70 is now widely sold, i try to buy one soonest but just waiting for root and twrp. it is still empty here on xda...
i found a link show how to root and install
https://myphoneupdate.com/samsung-galaxy-a70-twrp-recovery/
can i ask if some one already tried as above? looks like a copy method for all kind of phones ...
tks.

Most likely fake, the article was published a month ago. A70 only got released on 26th March.

I would definitely wait until someone posts a technique here; I tend to trust the experts here, but not so much everywhere else on the internet. I would prefer to wait a few weeks and put with an unrooted device, rather than possibly end up with a bricked (or hijacked) device.
Andre

ok i will wait...
it was like this, waited for s10+, came twrp but didnot like camera hole and waiting for A70, then waiting for twrp, then oneplus7pro release, then wait a bit for its twrp, till then note 10 pro comes soon, then wait for twrp of it....
and after 2+ year still using note8 LOL

First thing I tried ofcourse, rooting the A70, but... follow the steps in the manual yourself, and you'll see that you get stuck on step 3:
3.) After That Download TWRP Recovery https://twrp.me File On Your PC And Renamed The Downloaded Recovery File Name To twrp.img.
But there is no TWRP Recovery available for the A70
I also tried the A50 manual, but that also fails (stuck on OEM lock). I can install CROM Service, but it crashes.

don't follow some clickbait website's...
wait for a proper and trusted dev to release twrp. the phones has barely hit the market it will take a few weeks (if not months) at least till someone builds an twrp. one think you could provide us with would be some information. is the bootloader unlockable?

In devsettings is a possible to unlock oem. Try this before flashing twrp. If twrp flashed ok, I think need to wipe all data, include internal storage, then flash DM-VERITY, FORCE ENCRYPTION, AND DISC QUOTA DISABLER

I don't try it by myself. But you can try it, if you just buy the phone, and have not important data on it

Samsung account
Hello. My dumbass bought used A70 with samsung account. I can't make a factory reset, because it needs password from old owner account which i don't know. But I have my Google account on that phone and Google find my device enabled. Will I need to enter samsung account information when I make a reset via Google find my device? So when reset is made, phone will be locked only by FRP? And then when I login in my old Google account can i create a new Samsung account or do I need to login in existing that was on that phone first? Sorry for offtopic.

Any news about TWRP? SuperSu or Magisk?
Hello All, still can't find TWRP for sm-a705fn
Can I flash TWRP for another Exynos phone, like Galaxy 9, to my A70 ?
Also, can I still use SuperSu with Pie/A70 ? I failed to root my previous Galaxy Tab8 with custom Pie using SuperSU, had to root with Magisk instead,
it worked just fine, but the link to topjohnwu mentioned in previous posts, tells scary things about Samsung/Pie/Magisk -
like, I have to switch between two recoveries... Is that really the case?
I haven't noticed any issue with Tab8/Pie/Magisk, but SuperSu would be still more familiar to me.

No, you can't use twrp for a different device, and don't use SuperSU neither. It was sold by chainfire to a Chinese company years ago and have been basically abandoned since 2017. I'm pretty sure Magisk is the better choice on any device running android 5 - 9.
Sent from my motorola one vision

Hello,
The problem with the post you mentioned is that there is no valid twrp attached. And I noticed that only Odin detects the fastboot mode of this device. If you enable USB debugging let's say, the command "adb devices" will detect the device and list it; whereas, if you reboot it to bootloader mode(fastboot), the command fastboot devices doesn't detect the phone. So in fastboot mode, only Odin will detect the device. Meaning, that the post of fake and not tested.

Wael

That's weird. I do have the Bootloader unlock option in the developer settings and can do/undo it just fine. Looks like Samsung is using different Firmware versions on the A70?

Need to root an Android 8.1 mirror

Hello all,
I have an Android 8.1 based DVR mirror for my car and I need some assistance gaining root access into it. The mirror was bought on Amazon and has an ASN of B07QM1RHC6 and is described as TOOGOO 219865. In the software it says it is a QcTech HMSA5E. Here is what I know about the device:
- It is based on a Spreadtrum SC9832e
- The software version is QC_HMSA5E_A5_966_Media_Sleep_2019090919
- OTA update is provided by fota.redstone.net.cn
- when I open an adb shell my prompt is sp8541e_srvm
I also have the partition layout. Under the developer menu there is an option to enable root over adb, it is protected by a four digit pin.
I would appreciate any help gaining root access either via the pin via some hack door.

Hi, did you have any luck rooting your mirror? It sounds like I have basically the same mirror although mine is sold under the name Bluavido. I've tried several apps and adb to root mine and all have failed so far. My guess is its the same four digit adb root privileges pin that is locking out the root process. In my case I'm just wanting to replace the awful bootanimation.zip with my own images.
Cheers Rich

Hi, Have you managed to make any progress regarding root? I tried several apps (Kingoroot etc) with no luck and was unable to guess the pin code using the usual codes (1111, 5555, 0000). Mine is similar in specs to yours except mine has a Spreadtrum SL8541E processor. I purchased mine off wish and would like to change the KM/H to MPH along with remove some default apps.
I've tried hooking it up to my PC but even that has been a pain (Driver issues) and the device refuses to switch from charging to PTP.
Cheers Nick

Post Update
Unfortunately I have not yet gained root access to the device. I was able to grab an "OTA" update, and it looks like the full system but I have not had much time to dig into it.

Could you post a link to a copy of the update? I was able to access fastboot mode using a terminal emulator which should allow me to flash the image onto my device

There is firmware from Bluavido 12 QC_DMSA5E_A5_116_Media_Sleep_2019102419__2019102419

Hello, I am also interested in root on this device.
I have yet to purchase it however, how is your experience with it? is the display quality any good? There are a lot of random sellers with 0 reviews trying to dump these.
Thanks.

Root no, it's problematic to do. Apparently lock the bootloader. I tried to patch boot using Magisk, the firmware then does not flash.
* The display is good, the cameras are shot at 4, CarKeeper works. GPS does not work stably when 4g Internet is turned on. Telephone communication does not work, it is disconnected. In short, you need to do custom recovery and ROOT

This firmware does not have the same screen size and touch screen module is different . So it won't be functional at all. I tried it.

ADB root pin is: 2846
I also try to root my device. Any clue how to get the device sucessfully rooted?
I try to replace some ADAS sounds from the Zqcamera app, but its a /system/app/ZqcCamera/ZqcCamera.apk which is signed and I could not get it replaced with a customized apk with replaced mp3/wav/ogg files.
Has anyone an idea how I can edit a system app and replace the resources? Over ADB root shell I could not get it to work to patch the system adas camera app.
Any help or hint would be great!
