[Q] Best method for root

There are some old threads on rooting and new ones that are completely different.
What is the best method to r00t and what mod should i flash on it after i've rooted?
GT-I8160 v2.3.6 Gingerbread. BB: I8160XXLK6. Kernel: 2.6.35.7
Thanks

Flash a custom rom. I think kyrillos v5 is best for GB. Root is included.
But please.... There is a Q and A thread, so please use it(or ask in "how to root" thread)...

the simple/best rooting methode
hy,
... first extract file "I8160XXLI2_CWM_5.0.2.6_ANT.tar" from rar archive
Methode for any GB firmware:
1. instal with odin the file "I8160XXLI2_CWM_5.0.2.6_ANT.tar", in the field "PDA"
2. boot in CWM mode and update with zip file "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip"
3. reboot ... and your mobile is rooted
Methode for any JB firmware:
1. boot in recovery mode and update with zip file "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip"
2. reboot ... and your mobile is rooted

Are you sure? I can just copy the file to my phone, boot in recovery and install.. ?
It says "Ensure that you have I8160XXLL2 installed + custom kernel (requirements). If you don't have them already installed:
-Follow this guide to flash stock firmware"
Do i not have to install the custom kernel?

please follow post #3

Ok i'm going to try and flash kyrillos now, thanks.

I've used the already rooted rom's in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881964

I put EX Kernel on and flashed it with Kyrillos. The phone worked up until my phone crashed, as i had a lot of apps running. When i removed the battery/restarted it just got stuck in a boot loop I've accepted it and i'm going to just flash everything again. Whats the best solution around this or prevention in case it happens again?

All my apps are crashing upon startup again and i cant do anything expect click through force close over and over
I've cleared cache files, removed sd, battery etc. Nothing. I can mount the phone to my computer though.

thanks for the recovery, could you also post which cwm recovery it is based on in the OP
Is this working with 4.4.2 roms?

Where did this come from?? A new recovery! Going to try this once I get my hands on the tablet. I wonder if it allows flashing 4.4 roms + old roms. Thank you so much! This device has a "recovery allergy", I hope this one will be fully working

Nop, 4.2.2 . I mean, it would be good for us to have the capability to switch from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 and vice-versa without the need to change the recovery. I find myself doing that quite often :angel:

Well call me noob, but when i downloaded the file for the tf300t, it is an img type file. How do i utilize that to install this rom? Sorry for noob question. Thank you in advance.

To flash old roms on kk recovery, you can just update the update-binary in zip

Awesome! Thanks for bringing this to us. I use this on my d2spr. Great recovery btw.

How would we do that? Use the update-binary from a KitKat ROM in a JellyBean ROM?

Oh, great! So can I use this for flashing the newest roms and can I flash it on 4.2 BL? Thanks for info

i've download the file (.img).... I just go into my TWRP and flash this one or I need to flash with the fastboot command (fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery philz_touch_6.08.9-tf300t.img)
edit: ok, i've done the flash with fastboot command. Not the most powerfull GUI i've see, but the BEST by miles for the option and configuration!!!

Nice
Nice recovery, It the best Ive ever come across. I Dev for CMB ROMS, I have made a flashable zip, so you can flash it from your current recovery.... I have this posted in the Download tab of my ROM forum... Its not my recovery, all credits will be given to Phil3759 It can be linked and given away as any open source recovery, I only say this on the ok of Phil3759, If he would like me to remove it, I will... Untill I here from him.. Here is a nice and easy way to install the best recovery to date for our beloved 300... Thx as always lj

The changelog says the recovery is "Kitkat ready".
Does this mean we can use it for flashing both 4.2-4.3 and 4.4 roms?
WITHOUT having to swap recoveries when going back and forth from Kitkat to JellyBean?
Thanks...

[H] KitKat & root: screen mirroring work-around

Normally many methods to get root-rights break the Samsung screen-mirroring. The same for the Note and until now only for 4.3 exists a fix. With KitKat we have to choose: root or screen-mirroring.
But there is a work-around which works for me:
- after you got your root-rights flash the stock recovery back via Odin (make a backup of your data before - like always).
PS. The explanation is that a custom-recovery and not the changes for root-right breaks the screen-mirroring.
PPS. I still try to patch the corresponding library.
PPPS. I attached the recovery from MJ4 and still busy to build a zip for ND1. But the old from MJ4 also works.

Thanks - will this fix (and recovery) work with either the COO or US 4.4 updates?
With regards to the recovery - you mentioned the other option is to back up / restore the recovery ourselves. So I'd backup the current 4.4 recovery (i'll google the procedure) and just restore it after per your instructions?
Thx,
Praz

Oops, here I was not clear. No, the only method until now (for KitKat) is to restore a stock recovery. The backup I mentioned was about your data because every flash includes the possibility of losing the data.

Hey Elim - thanks for the explanation. Right now I'm trying piece together the process to root and then restore screen mirroring functionality. It sounds like I need to install TWRP recovery for the root process. Then when I'm done, I'd flash the stock recovery back.
Could you clarify the process here? Do I extract the stock recovery.img from the US kitkat image, zip it and flash it within TWRP recovery?
EDIT: I think I'm good. I used a script to convert the recovery.img to a tar.md5 file. After rooting and installing SuperSU, installed the kitkat stock recovery. Will try screen mirroring once I get home

THANKS. ... got mine working again with your instructions!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...ernel-stock-modified-kernel-touchwiz-t3229557
Easy step by step instructions for those of you who don't know how to Odin flash firmware:
Download the Stock Firmware you need.
Unzip the firmware into an empty folder on your desktop
Download Odin 3.10.7
Unzip Odin into the same folder containing the firmware
Go into settings>about & keep tapping the "build number" until it tells you that you have Developers options
Go back to Settings>Developers options and make sure that "OEM unlock" has a check mark next to it
In Settings>Developers options be sure to enable "USB Debugging"
(Optional) Go to Settings>Backup and reset - then click on Factory data reset (This will wipe internal sdcard)
Power down the phone using the power button
Unplug the USB cable
Open the folder you created and open Odin (its a window application)
Select the "AP" slot in Odin and then navigate and select the firmware TAR file
Put the phone into Download Mode by pressing Power/VolumeDown/Home keys at the same time
When the phone is going into download mode and asks if you want to continue press volume up
Connect USB cable from the computer to the phone and be sure the the "COM:X" lights up in Odin
Once you do all the above successfully click START in Odin
Please Note: Odin flashing firmware does NOT format/wipe your internal sdcard.
=================================================================
Here is a little trick I just learned which might interest many of you:
If anyone has a problem going directly from "download mode" into "recovery mode" then here
is a way you can do it. I have never seen any posts about this procedure before but it works!
Press both of the volume keys, home key and the power button for about 15 seconds more or less
then as soon as the screen goes black let go of the volume down key and the phone will go directly
into recovery mode where you can power off the phone for a fresh power on or power down.
Give it a try a couple times, you have to be careful to look at the 4 buttons making sure that your
fingers are actually on all 4 buttons before pressing them at the same time, letting go of only the
volume down button as soon as you see the black screen, then the phone goes into recovery mode..

Hey bro,
If you're rooted already you can instal your phones custom recovery with Flashify from the Google Play Store.
Once you have the recovery you can get to flashing!
Hope this helps

Better if you are rooted is go to Playstore and download AutoREC for G3 (have 2 versions, one for 4.4.2 other for 5.0 choose the version according with the Android version you have installed), this app will install the TWRP on your phone and download the reboot app to get into TWRP...is easy!
