[Q] How to root Galaxy Ace 2 i8160?

Hello guys,
I just bought this week the new Ace 2 i8160.
It is a really great phone- I mean not the dimension ;-)
Yes, after a week usage I would like to root it for use some apps like in former times. I tried to root with the old Ace methodic, but it does not works.
Do have anyone an idea, how could be root the phone?
For your answers thank you lot!

mate this is ACE 1 forums so asking here is pointless ..wait for Ace 2 forums to come up...
.anyways try GINGERBREAK - its a universal gb root app
and do report if it works .....i m sure there will b more guys asking this question

Wrong section.
I'm moving this to General Q&A Section.

Yes I know, this is an Ace 1 forum, but I can not wait for opening a new thread for Ace2... ;-)
Well, I tried gingerbreak, but does not works. It runs still exploiting and nothing happens. I made all things, as in instructions described, but not works :-(
I tried even yet from the rooting instructions for Galaxy W i8150, because the model number is similar (8160 for Ace2,8150 for Galaxy W) , and both phones looks similar too.
But it don't works :-(
I got an error message "signature verification error"

Did you try superoneclick?
I'm very curious about this device, and I'm considering getting one... I find somehow strange the cpu: a dual core 800mhz is unusual. Is it possible that this cpu's clock is higher and is underclocked via software?

The Ace 2 is very new and i searched for a while in the internet
Rooting this device is not possible at the moment!!!!!!!
Even not with apps like gingerbreak or superoneclick oder z4 root they never worked like they should so you can close the thread and wait until somebody found a way to root it

I think not so...
We should here collect our experiences about rooting the Ace 2. If somebody have some news about rooting, can post that here.

Every iPhone is actually underclocked. They do it for the battery life.

The cpu is really powerfull. The chipset is NovaThor U8500, with an ARM dual Cortex - A9 cpu at 1ghz (in sga2 it is underclocked to 800mhz), and the powerfull arm mali 400 gpu! More info here: http://www.stericsson.com/products/u8500-novathor.jsp

Hello antms,
at first thanks lot of for your work.
I did not try it, because I had concern to brick the phone...
Could the phone brick due this methode?
I mean, to loose the warranty is not the problem. I'm sure, one day is it solved to unroot, but to brick the phone would be not funny...

Generally, i don't belive with it, since kernel image doesn't affects on bootloader, which implements download mode.
But since i don't have SGA2 and can't test it personally, i can't take responsibility to say about 100% safety of this method.
We need a braveheart hero

Ok, maybe i'll test it. But! What will happen if something go wrong? I'll need to flash a new firmware? But how? If it may be flashed with odin, where can I get a rom?

there is still a safer method??
as other phones that will install a zip from recobery?
I also I have it and I would like root.
thanks for everything.
waiting for response

Just flash stock kernel back (I8160XXLD3_original.tar.md5).
If you are looking for a firmware, you can get it at http://samfirmware.com (type i8160 in a search field).

Stock recovery usually performs signature verification for every zip-package. If the package is not signed by Samsung, then it will not be applied.

I live in Shanghai and the last time I saw a Android 4.1.5 was on a fake Galaxy S3.
If it's a fake Note2 there's nothing XDA can do for you.

I want to flash firmware 4.2+ from 4.1.9 gt n7100 built cnanzhi Samsung made by Korea
I root with kingo because cannot enter dload mode. Then I install mobile Odin
And it says ..but with an expected partition layout. How I going to solve this

I think that in practice what you are trying to do is install a ROM that is made for SG Note 2 to your phone, that's not a Note 2... Hopefully it gave an error and it wasn't possible because if your phone did flash the ROM, I think that you would end up with a bricked China Note 2 instead of a working one

Mine is I think original Samsung Galaxy Note II or the least recond bcoz I checked at the back Samsung made in Korea assembled in china and comes with warranty. And FYI I would like to flash cwm ROM and flash 4.2+ like jellybean or kitkat sir but I just can't enter download mode but I didn't yet used adb download mode bcoz its very big to download man.half a gig.Thanksgiving

I suggest you better stay on Stock ROM and do not flash international version ROM for your phone, because international version uses Broadcom A9 Dual-core processors, but yours are using Samsung Exynos Quad, flashing will result in brick. And the device you have is a rare variant because it is not available internationally.
By the way, does korean Grand have dual-SIM support?

As I say, I don't think there is custom ROM for it yet, but still I liked Samsung stock 4.1.2 ROM, all you need is to root and freeze it using Titanium Backup. I am not sure you can use Choto method to root your phone...
I suggest you ask here for confirmation before rooting your phone.
If root is not possible, go to Apps manager > Disable those apps you don't want.

[Q] Flash SM-T210 firmware on SM-T210R hardware

Now, I looked everywhere and both models are Galaxy Tab 3 Wi-Fi
Looks like it is the same hardware so maybe the only difference is the language content...
If it is not possible or too risky to flash 210 firmware on 210R hardware, any way to add any additional display languages?
doing this for a friend, so any help is higly appreciated

You can flash the T210 firmware, but will lose the T210R only features (IR blaster).

But when i open it, it just like brand new! I dont know...
I will figure it out later if my tab 3 is brand new or not..
Thank you !
Now, i must know i need to know something about this tab... ill ask my father!

First of all you're in the wrong thread, this is for AT&T devices and your SM-N920V is a Verizon device which cannot be rooted as of yet and I suggest you use the Verizon thread to avoid confusing people and flashing stuff for the wrong device.

Ii belive users were waiting for an update and if they made the update available to download away from the phone. Update was required so users could build a root for att galaxy note 5. From what I read

Yes ive tried every thing there is no stable root method I mean you can[kind of] if you haven't updated to marshmallow. Im unlocked and using tmobil but you dont get the aws bands so service isnt as good as a legit tmobil phone.
