Hi!!
In SGS2 there was a possibility to have a temporary root just to change small things.
Since i would only want to change the hosts file and use the sd fix, it would be great to have this kind of possibility. And continue to enjoy the ota updates.
Is there anything like that?
Thanks for your help!!

In short - no, there are libraries that need to be copied over with the apks. Also, you may get better responses in the actual t-mobile GS3 forum.

Hi all,
It took me some time to get my phone Rooted and SIM Unlocked so I have decided to put my findings below.
Phone which I used for this post: Samsung Galaxy Y S5369, files for S5360 is also available.
Root:
Copy update.zip to SD Card
Turn off the mobile phone
Hold up volume key, home button and power button together for few seconds
Locate the update.zip and follow the easy steps
Sim Unlock
Copy Galaxy Toolbox to you your storage card
You can use ES File Explorer to find and run the application
Follow the easy instructions from the application to complete the process
I will give credits where it's due, please check here again later as I need to go through the sources again.
update.zip was retrieved from GeekDashboard.
Galaxy Toolbox was retrieved from Play Store.
There like 100 treads with this same information but thanks for the effort I guess
"[Sent from a galaxy y far far away] *ominous voice* Hit THANKS"

oh,please man...

I think there are still many people who don't know how to root, sometimes it's nice to see the same information in a different point of view which can enable a person to try again.

I found many threads with too much information which just overloads a user. I kept this thread to minimal, plus another reason for creating this post was because my model was different compared to the standard model that everyone else got in UK.
Anyway, this post was intended to help people.

Well that makes sense but when a phone has been around as much as the SGY this issue gets tackled alot first root comes (probably b4 the phone is even released) but the original post might be confusing so someone dumbs it down and that continues the longer a phone is out the more treads for that issue pop up....BUT and u should have put that in your tread relating to the UK thing since I know with my phone (s5360l) there isn't a tread on rooting it off u search you'll find the file for s5360 which didn't work in my phone how I found the file was by happenstance viewing a tread on s5360 and someone happened to have a s5360l and got someone to convert the file to s5360l and post it but other than that single comment on a tread there's no root information on my phone I've wanted to start a tread for a while but problem is I can't remember the guy's name who converted it not to mention that for a period I was on s5360 firmware so I also have the s5360 and the s5360l update file and I don't know which 1 is the correct file lol
Hi, thanks for the easy guide, is the unlock permanent or does lock again if using the software update option on the phone?
unlock is permanent but i think its better to use the unlocker from the real developer u can find the newest one in playstore.
While Galaxy Toolbox is free and available from Play Store, to avoid unexpected threats and have the latest release, I recommend to download it from the original source: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doky.sgtoolbox

Nice...it took less than 5 minutes.
I have a galaxy ace i8160L, and i want to install custom roms, but i see that there is a model i8160 WIthout L (and i see other with i8160P), dont know where to start, and i dont know if i can use all the tutorials from i8160 to i8160L. I dont want to brick the phone for doing something wrong, also, if there is any way to avoid flash counter that would be great (i see a flashable for CWM but for i8160, so dont know if can be use it with i8160L)
Any help is appreaciate. thanks
Search around the Ace II general forums. There was one or two guidez on how to make this possible. For gingerbread only so far. also, I'm not sure but maybe you can use the manual flash counter reset using terminal.
oh by the way, there's a q and a thread and its stickied, any further questions that are not related to this should be posted there since most of the users are monitoring that thread therefore a better chance to get an answer.
Nevermind my sig, its my sig in XDA app.
Is pressing "THANKS" to hard to do? If you think my post is helpful then click that button! Ungrateful bast***s
You should ask in the Question and Answer Thread, not making new threads for just a single question.
And i8160L is the NFC version, there are a few ROMs as mentioned by Dro1ne and you can try installing non-L ROMs but you'll most likely to lose your NFC functions and a little chance of brickings. CMIIW though.
Should one see another pointless thread without asking it in the Q and A Thread, don't reply to it and let the thread sink to bottomless pit of hell.
EDIT: sorry for the harsh language, it's just really getting annoying when I see new threads but just asking a single question of not the same question again and again.
ok, sorry, i search first but still no clear, i will ask a last question there.thanks for your time.
Dont worry, i understand, was my mistake. i just want to see if keep the phone or not, i already have another android, but this is just because a friends need it and want custom roms like mine.
If you want to install GB custom roms on your i8160L then click the link on my signature
What's going on xda? I wanted to post this in the developer forum, so that possibly Ya know, a developer would see it and read it but the site said "no" so I have to post here. I had my phone rooted with weaksauce I was gonna go all out and unlock the boot loader and s-off but weaksauce made it so easy to have root access I was pretty satisfied with just that for a little while at least. Then I got an update Download from Verizon. I pressed where it said update now. I was curious. I'm sorry, anyway now I have the Verizon version of sense 6.0 and weaksauce shows me root failure when it runs. It's been like this for quite some time now and I've been searching around for any info on it but I'm the only person who has made a post about it so far. Other people also have this problem, I made a post on android forums and many others are sharing the same issue. Developers please. Let me know if you share the problem or know the solution or if you are currently working on the solution because I am getting slightly impatient. Thanks
Why not post this in Verizon HTC ONE forum? There you will receive more help.

If it was actually that simple I would have already done that. I have a VERIZON m7. Weaksauce was the only root method I tried that worked, so it's not that I'm too lazy to search around for the correct thread, it's that that correct thread doesn't exist yet so I just keep making threads on different android forums until I flood the internet with my words and someone finally notices.

Whats Going on? What is going on is that you really didnt pay attention to the rules when you joined. Had you then you would know why you cant post in the Dev forums. You would also know that had you posted this in the dev forums, it would have been deleted on site.
Now I am gonna move this to the proper device forums and advise you to take another look at the rules before you post again.
Basically, you are SOL until Firewater/Weaksauce/Towelroot is made to work on our latest OTA.
Had you run Firewater when you had root, prior to updating, you would have been able to update and retain s-off and root.
Since you didn't, you are now stuck without root until/when/if an updated method/exploit is posted.

Dude, keep moving it if it makes you feel important. The rules really are not my main concern on this site, I had a question it got answered pretty directly after about 4 useless "this has to be moved" posts now I'm going to continue to wait. You guys are like maids for this site do they pay you well? Is it just fun for you to move threads to the correct place? pretty much: LOL @ false sense of entitlement thread police

Your thread got answered after it was moved to the right place, so that mod with "a false sense of entitlement" is the only reason you got a accurate reply.
Your call, but a bit of appreciation for those who keep this site running and volunteer to help is never a bad thing. Running a site of this size is not an easy task.

Wow so let me get this straight. You come to a development sight and want to ask a question? Tthen you post in the wrong section so you get the least amount of answers. So not only does a mod come along and move it to the proper place so you have a chance of getting an answer, but tells you where you messed up instead of just deleting your post. So you proceed to call names and insult me? Then break the rules again. Well how about this. The next time you decide to insult someone you will be banned from the site and then you be stuck with what ever simple minded questions you may have. Take this as your only warning. I would normally just remove you from the site for good but I am in a good mood today so I will let this one slide.
I wish to aid the community by developing a modified vs98546a firmware for the g3. I have no idea how. If you could tell me how in the comments that would be great. I mainly want to know about adding/removing apps from the image. And maybe odexing/deodexing. This seemed like the best place to put this. If you are a mod and this is the wrong section pardon my mistake. You can remove this thread.
You can find about the Android Kitchen...
