[Q] samsung galaxy ace 2 I8160 rooting problems

Hello all I have recently purchased a samsung galaxy ace 2, and wish to root it so i can install clock work recovery so i can install a custom ROM.
I have followed guides about using odin to install a stock rooted ROM or rooted kernel, but i cannot seem to get odin to work this is causing me alot of frustration. I have installed kies and the updated samsung driver's, I have opened task manager and exited everything to do with kies before opening odin, my device is detected in odin as COM4 all is well its just when i start the flash it freezes on setup connection... then fails after about 10 minutes.

I have read other people with the same problems and have followed their steps, I have removed my sim and micro sd card I also took out my battery for a couple of minutes and put it back in. I have even tried plugging it in before and after starting up odin, I have also tried 3 different versions of odin and also tried heimdall. I also start the phone up in download mode with usb debugging active I have tried every single custom rom on xda for the ace 2. i really have run out of ideas and cant find any other solutions for my problem so i thought someone might be able to help
thanks in return

Have also just tried it on my netbook and tower pc trying every usb port on each with no luck. I am also using a samsung stock cable, I have tried kies and just the samsung drives on every computer. I have tried plugging the phone in before odin has started and after, I have also plugged the cable in from both sides be it the phone or computer. some help would be really apreciated Im begining to get edgy at how annoyed I am at this thing its not good, I would try to flash another android phone but I don't have one and look's like i have tried pretty much everything. is there any other way to root an ace 2 without odin as it is being way to frustrating and just seems crappy unless im being a n00b and missing something simple here i'm begining to get p***ed of I have wasted a day for nothing......

You know, it would be better to add screenshots, pictures can explain most of the things you typed.
Most people tend to not read all of what you typed. Also, screenshots make it easier to help you since we would know exactly what you're doing wrong.
But enough of the nagging. Here's what it should look like before flashing (Before clicking "START")

Oh, DO NOT install Kies if you are going to use Odin. Or get rid of any process related to Kies.(tray_agent.exe or something like that.)
Kies leaves a lot of hidden processes and some say Odin will not work properly if these hidden processes are still running in the background.
I suppose you know what you named the files generated from stock pre-rooted roms. So just try again.

Thanks for the advice i have uninstalled kies, but i dont know how to tell if it is running any hidden things how do i go about doing that ?
I am still having the same problem though I have made some screenshots of odin

You have to have USB Debug on I think. Just flashed my friends Galaxy S3 and I had the same errors you are having on Odin. After numerous unsuccessful attempts,I switched on USB Debug and flashed successfully.

Try last version of Odin (v3.07 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738841)

Hi! I'm so confused...
I haven't used the phone, and I thought I lost it, and I found it recently. I updated the phone to 4.0.4.

* Can you just link me to a guide that shows how to root

I thought I should ask which is the right guide I should be following for this build version. Maybe I should've rooted before upgrading.

I'm guessing you need to root to upgrade to the latest android? So I guess that's why I'm rooting? Clueless.

* Signal strength of the wifi is low.
** Others had different problems like couldn't connect, or random disconnection after the upgrade

Ok, I don't have a "micro usb" cable so have to get one (which kind? there's so many).
The version is FF18 so can anyone confirm I should still do this because the video (under "Instructions - ") said to make sure it's version GB27.

the video says gb27...because that is the android version you are going to use odin to flash/install. gb27 4.1.2 is the latest and last update this device will get...but we all hope thats not true..lol.
anyway...if youre this new to the device , root and custom roms/kernels/recoveries...i highly suggest reading the stickies and just about everythingyou can grab in this forum...its all there...
i also suggest that if you would like to get youre feet wet playing with root and some of the root apps. that you stay stock and root your device..that way you dont have to deal with custom roms and recoveries right out the gate. just as a heads up...this device has a kernel and recovery that are tied together...in other words...you have to flash a different kernel to get a different recovery....unless youre on cm/aosp/aokp based roms and flash the twrp recovery made for this device...it injects itself over the recovery that is with the current kernal...but thats down the line..
there is an app on xda called framaroot....its a downloadable apk...that you can install with a file browser and use to root this device...it will work on ics and the jb version for this device...
like i said above....this will root youre device and let you check out some root apps...but as ryan said above.....if you want to flash a jb rom..you will need to use the gb27 rooted one click that wipes data...this is needed because of the new preload partition within jellybean...
as stated above.....wipes data....so backup anything you wish to save...
good luck...if you have any questions...there is a great q&a thread stickied at the top of this page....post your question there....i or another member(far smarter than me,lol) will see it and help you out....but remember, a good member tries to help themselves first. so read up and google search...and if youre unsure about something we are here to help...
welcome to the E4GT forum...
edit...as far as cables go...its hit and miss . i have a 30 dallor cable that odin cant see and the free one that came with my phone works great...

If I had to make a guess I would say hes using multiple batteries and a wall charger..
GS4 Stock Rooted MJA 4.3,Philz Touch CWM,HotSpot Mod,Transparent Weather Widget...

I'm much more confused now. Can anyone confirm if you should do those instructions on that version?
I said on the first post that I haven't used the phone since I thought I lost it. I checked out the charger and saw that it was the cable I needed. Silly me!

If you follow steps 1 through 7 of the forum that @bilgerryan posted, you can't go wrong. If you are still unsure, go to youtube and search Qbking77's video on how to root the Epic 4G touch to GB27. The video has a link to the files needed. You will also need a usb cable the will allow you to connect to the pc. Not all usb cables work so you will have to find one that will. If you FOLLOW the video, you cannot go wrong. When I first started, that was the video I used and everything worked just as was shown in the video. This all may look and sound confusing, but it really isn't. The forum is a step by step instruction on what the video actually shows. :good:

On #5, the ODIN did not show yellow COM port in 2nd column
I don't know what com port is or what odin is, but there's no yellow on the 2nd column.
The odin is saying "Please wait" so I'm not sure if I should unplug it... it said not too....
The instructions before that didn't really make sense... I dled the .exe file.

I opened the .exe file
Plugged in the usb
And still no yellow.
Are you suppose to press 'start' now?

I pressed start. It say this:
==
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
==
Now what???????????????????????????????? So confused.
What yellow is it talking about........
Phone shows it's charging. Is that why? Are you not able to transfer stuff when the phone is charging?

Do you have the Samsung drivers installed on your PC?

Tried installing it, and it said it's already installed.
Nothing changed with the yellow thing when I tired it after installing and before installing the drivers.
I also restarted...

Trying to see if the other files would make this work.
So dled the tar.md5 file for "restore" and "nodata"
Extracted it.
And the file is still tar.md5 and I can't open it, don't know how

I did a factory reset http://www.hard-reset.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-epic-4g-touch-hard-reset.html
Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset
because I feel like the phone has problems.
The yellow thing still doesn't work.
Maybe it's because this build version is FF18...

You are doing far too much and over complicating things
Download the .exe file here onto your PC-http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...-D710)/Stock ROMs/JB/GB27/Full Restore/Rooted
Double click on it to run it
Put phone in Download Mode (Hold Vol Down+Power when phone is completely powered down)
Connect phone to computer (after you are in Download Mode)
Run once you see it pop up as COM and a # (ex COM4)
Wait for it to finish
I really think you should check out QBKing77's YouTube video if you don't get it this time.

Ok, I finally got it into download mode. I watched the video. I just didn't understand so I looked at the instructions instead (I thought option 3, plugging in the usb cable, would work)
But no yellow thing (com) after connecting the usb cable, but I don't think it's the cable because charging the phone worked.

Are you able to transfer things to the computer via USB? Does your computer recognize your phone is plugged in (not in Download Mode, when booted)

I don't see a usb icon so I guess not?

#1 was already started
#2 is fine since the mouse is fine
don't know what #3 is.
The phone charges so the usb works? D
What to do...

Just because it charges does not mean that the cable isn't your problem here. Is there any other Micro USB cable you can try?

I want to instal a new Rom on my device but I cant 'cause it doesn't have memory card slot and windows 8 didn't recognize my device
How can I copy the files on my deivce?
Anyone can help me to fix this problem?

you probably need to update your recovery img version, easiest way is using fastboot or a toolkit, like wugfresh toolkit(Google wugfresh Gnex it will come right up)
you need to install the drivers.for windows to recognize galaxy nexus as attached, wugfresh can do THAT for you as well.
although I'm a proponent of using manual methods like adb/fastboot, wugfresh can help get you started in the right direction

Wugfresh
First of all , thanks for quick reply.
You're right.My recovery img is old and didn't update since about a year and a half.
I install wugfresh but when I run the program, that doesn't recognize the device.
When I connect the mobile to laptop, I heard a sound about plug a USB Device.
The Mobile phone is on bootloader....
and becaue I didn't know device build number, I click Auto Detect Device + Build....
But doesmn't happen anything

if you aren't worried about losing any user data, first flash a factory stock image which will put device back to out of box state, then you can pick which build and such,
or, before that, do a quick google search for "xda, galaxy nexus, windows 8.1 driver issue" I think I recall someone having similar issues and getting them resolved and the thread should have the info you need in it.
let us know if you find the info you need.

Wugfresh
I Use wugfresh (Nexus Root Toolkit)
Before that , I installed the adb drivers and also change my o.s from Win8 to win XP.
but I see this error while repairing my phone : (the attached file)
I'm so confused...
I didn't what to do...

Install the adb and fastboot drivers.

I'm trying....

I Couldn't
I even try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
It doesn't recognise my phone.
I feel dumb!

Let me explain my problem by photos :
I run nexus Root Toolkit
In advanced utilities , click on "Launch"
In apperaed window , "Boot Temporary" , I click on "Custom Recovery", then I must browse the file "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-maguro.img"
After browse the file , this Message Appear : Reebooting your device into bootloader . . .
Then after afew secondes , This message blowes my mind : Fastboot Device Was Not Found . . . .
Also in other parts of Nexus Root Toolkit I have the same problem....
Is there anyway to solv ethis problem?

I would recommend removing the drivers that are installed. it seems that the wrong ones, or maybe something just "borked" with them, happened on original install.
when you plug in device, go into device manager, should be able to right click on your device and uninstall drivers.
then I recommend putting device in bootloader mode. plug in, and see if it installs the drivers automatically for you.
there should also be an.option in wug to "install drivers" I think.
(in your pictures, window on the right side, "Full Driver install....", long button on the top)
::::TRY THIS FIRST::::
I just noticed that you have chosen ICS for model/OS. it is probably trying to use the old fastboot binary for it or something, change that and try 4.2 or even 4.3, you could also try 4.1 but I'm thinking the 4.2or4.3 choice will work for you.

do you KNOW how to manually put phone into bootloader/fastboot mode correct?
if not, from powered down state, hold power, volume up, and volume down, all at the same time for a few seconds, it will vibrate, and bring up the bootloader.
I know on my machine, I befoee had to uninstall drivers, then plugged device in while in bootloader mode, and waited as it installed automatically the correct drivers needed.

(I don't know if you use tapatalk for forum browsing, but you may have to edit the title of thread via web browser)
if you need anything else feel free to ask here or PM!

I think my problem returns to install drivers.
After your last guide, I removed drivers and for install drivers, I use from Nexus Root Toolkit....
Just one Question :
For last time : How Can I add "Solved" to topic title?
I didn't find any button to do that...

go to your initial post, there should be button below it that says "edit" or similar. click that, then you probably have to click "go advanced" or "advanced edit" or something like that, I think then you will be able to edit the post title.

Bricked SM-T705

Hi all Xda members and developers. I need your help.. My Tab S 8.4 (T705) appears to be brick. It suddenly restarts itself and stuck with black screen. When I tried to enter Download mode, it shows me below info instead of normal Download mode:
SDCARD MODE
UP KEY: NORMAL BOOTING
DOWN KEY: DOWNLOAD MODE
(See picture attached)
But when I press volume key Up or Down, it does not do anything. Trying to enter any other mode (such as Recovery mode) does not do nothing either.
It appears to be brick and I am not sure what to do with this.
Please help.
UPDATE 2
Last night I could not find any solution and could not even turn off the screen, so I left it on and went to sleep. When I woke up this morning and check it again, the batter was dead. So I plug in charger and it show the charging logo and then I tried to turn it on..... and volla.. it boots back to normal state... Interesting but this is really what happening.
UPDATE 1:
I found some information on some certain Galaxy S3 devices which had the same/ semilar problem. In this case, the phone could boot from SD Card.
I think It may work if there is anyone who could help dumping the Tab S T705 bootloader (I am so sure how this is done anyway) to empty SD card?
Millions thanks ahead...

Hey I just noticed this thread and skimmed through it very quickly. Same thing happned to mine a couple weeks back. SM-T705 with the same screen. Mine happened after an overnite charge when I powered up the device. I'm running SuperSamsung rom v2. Long story short, I tried everything to boot into recovery and reset the device. Through some research, I found out that I needed to reset the battery, which would have been simple if our batteries were removeable. Here is how my device was reset. Hold POWER + VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN = BATTERY RESET - You will need to do this for at least a minute for it to reset. Good luck and hope this helps.
BTW mine was reset after the battery had been completely discharged

Try enter download mode and try flash through Odin if it let's you but all Samsung's can be easily restored
See if you can get a USB JIG or something for the T705 there very helpful for fixing bricked devices

Question Meta mode in Nokia G10 TA-1334

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to rewrite lost IMEI after flashing stock rom (No backup). Tried everything in my sleeve. I am trying to find out how to enter in Meta mode so I can use the SN write tool or Modem meta. Tried following things:
adb reboot meta - nothing happening except reboot.
Vol button combo - nothing but fastboot and recovery.
Root - bootloader/oem can't be unlocked
Tried verity of tools nothing happening.
Brom mode - TP needs to be connected all the time (This is how I flashed the Rom).
Does any of you guys know how to activate Meta mode in this device. Seems nobody shared that detail over internet. Please help..
Thanks in advance.

Please make sure you have all the required drivers installed. If not please just install HMD Device Kit and it will install all the necessary drivers or you can manually install drivers from here.

Hi mvikrant97,
Sorry for the belated reply, I have installed HMD Device Kit drivers as per your link. but still its not detecting by Modem meta or SN Writer tool. While I connect the switched off phone this shows up in device manager.

Were you able to connect device before when it was in working condition?
It also seems like the cable you are using is malfunctioned or the device USB port itself.
I'm sorry but I will have to ask you questions to diagnose the problem.

As I have mentioned before, I flashed this device with stock ROM using the same usb cable by triggering Test point in Brom Mode, So I highly doubt this is because of the faulty usb cable. Thereafter I lost my IMEI, but fortunately I had one IMEI noted down beforehand. I am trying to rewrite that IMEI so that I can use my SIM. Seriously what is this Meta Mode? This means nokia G10 doesn't support Meta Mode?
Please feel free to ask any question or suggestions mate.

You will need Pandora Tool to fix up the IMEI.
But as much I know you need to have the backup beforehand to fix the issue.
You may refer to the video below

Thanks for the heads up. Looked up the tool, seems expensive than the G10 itself. Still wondering why the phone is not detected though.

Maybe because the phone does not support Meta mode
