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

HTC's file manager should be able to access and write things to your external sd card. Since the changes to how sd cards are handled in kitkat, Third party apps can only have write access over the folders that they create. So unless you root thats just the way it is.

What data do you want to write or what is it exactly that you are trying to do? Just to get an idea if there is a non-root solution.
I previously used ES file explorer on my rooted Galaxy S4 without a problem, but it wouldnt work properly on my non-rooted M8. Using the stock HT file manager app and so far its fine for what I want to do.

[GUIDE] How to Root ASUS Fonepad 7 FE375CG K019 (11.10.1.43) KitKat

There is no root specifically for V 11.10.1.43 Android 4.4.2, Not even RootZenfone works for V43, but finally after searching for about three months I found a way to have a root for this tablet.
I have to remind you that I am no mod or programmer, I just read hundreds of comments and posts from others so all the credits goes to them that unfortunately I can't name them all.
Of course the main credit goes to @Shakalaka for making and providing RootZenfone.
Disclaimer:
* Warranty is void.
* I don’t guarantee that this will work.
* It maybe cause bad effects to your tablet.
* You are responsible for any damages or other issues that may arise directly or indirectly because of this.
* Very important: All your data and programs will be lost!
(If you like make a backup)
Steps:
1. Download Firmware 11.10.1.41 From Asus website.
Here’s the address: ASUS
This is important: Do not download other versions like 38 or 43, just 41, only 41!
Remember to download only your specific device firmware. Like WW only for WW or CN only for CN.
How to know that? Settings->About-> Software information.
So if you are WW, you have to download Version WW_V11.10.1.41 that is around one Gb.
2. The file you downloaded is a zip file. There is another zip file inside it with the same name. Extract it. So you have a zip file that there is folders and files inside it.
3. Rename this zip file (UL-K019-WW-11.10.1.41-user.zip) to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip. Use exact naming with upper case and that under line(_).
4. Place MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip in to root of your micro sd card, no folders just in the root of micro sd.
5. Turn off your tablet, push and keep the power and volume + at the same time and after you see ASUS logo release them both. Now you are in “Droid boot”.
6. With Vol+ or Vol- navigate to “Recovery” then click Power to select. Your device will automatically update (actually downgrade) to V 11.10.1.41 that you can Root.
7. Go to Settings--> Security--> enable “Unknown sources”.
8. Download RootZenfone 1.4.6.8r form here or sakalaka's own website here and install it. Disable and forget WiFi and go to Airplane Mode. Open RootZenfone and click to root. After 10 seconds reboot your device.
9. Very important: After rooting make sure RootZenfone is in “survival mode activated” if not click to activate.
The whole concept is this:
TO ENABLE THE ROOT TO REMAIN AFTER UPDATE!
So make sure it’s on survival mode or all you did would be useless.
10. If You did all right, now you have a V41 Rooted tablet. Turn on WiFi an check for Update. There will be an Update for V43 that is around 28 Megs. Update.
Only update OTA
DO NOT update offline to V43!
11. If tablet didn’t find the update just do a factory reset then update will be there.
12. Voila, Rooted FE375CG 11.10.1.43

Works
It's works for me, thanks a lot :good:
I am now on 4.4.2 on my K019 and it's root.
Do think there is a way to install Lollipop ont it and stay root ?

Happy that my post was helpful.
Well, about Lollipop I'm sure that the Root won't remain after upgrade because it's totally different from KitKat.
Finding Root for Lollipop is another matter, that I think is very probable. Of course still we have to wait a little more for Lollipop itself.
Good Luck

It works
Thanks for the root method.
It works perfectly for me. I've updated the firmware 11.10.1.43 and the root is always there.
Titanium Bakup is up and perfectly running.

Hi,
Xmodgames does not support Bluestacks(or other Android emulators)/ASUS zenfone 5(or other intel-based processors)/X86/Samsung enforcing devices with Android Lollipop at present(Samsung enforcing solution please refer to NO.18). We are working on that now. Please be patient.

I have do a Mistake! I have rooted my fonepad with your tuturial with Firmware .41! But then the fould, i have make the System to that what i want, - i have ereased and moved many apps, and all fine! But when i try first time OTA-Update, the Update was found(How You say, it was around 28Megabytes), and as i try to install, it failed! Update-Routine starts, find Update-Package and beginn install, but than Update Abort!? Since that, Fonepad dont find anymore the OTA-Update when i try!

My Question: You have writen in the tuturial, dont make offline-update! Can You say why! Is only the root gone after offline-update, or dont go offline-update at all!? And Perhabs You have a Solution!
Many Thanks to You!

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:

Try Kingo Root.
All you need is an laptop or pc, or you could try Kingo Root apk file.
Look on uncle Google for this app.
Good luck.

You could tell this important information in your o.p. so we can skip this step.
Now... write here what your system is, like what is written in: Settings/About phone/Device information/Build number.
What you have to do is to read some articles from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/vibe-p1/development/qpst-flashing-vibeui-3-1-s272-rom-t3386650
I think, if you dont know what to do, go to someone who knows and can help you.

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.

you are right the root for this device is not avialable by kingoroot.they r actually working on it , may be in future we will get it.

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
