Cheers for that mate, I was going by the opening post that said after using the root the phone might randomly reboot. It's only happened once or twice so we'll see what happens I guess.

Wish you all the best with this project mate.

@qzem

Is it possible that you could do your magic to extend the root for XXLD2 ?

Attached is the XXLD2 kernel.bin.md5 extracted from the current German GT-I9070P (NFC variant) firmware - 2.6.35.7-I9070PXXLD2-CL1077881dpi@DELL136 #2 .

Thanks!

Little problem to find TIM network or SIM card

Hi qzem, thank you very much.

I just root my Brazilian VJLD (TIM) whith Superuser in the market. The new version of Superuser don't need busybox. Works really fine.

* I just have one question and I wonder if anyone else who uses the network of TIM noticed this little problem: After doing the root, I always have a hard time to find the network TIM and SIM card. Whenever I turn off the phone I must remove the battery in order to identify the SIM card and find the TIM network.

Anyone else had this problem? It would not be necessary to find a file ".pit" specific to TIM, or some comunications driver for it?

Thank you!

* Eu só tenho uma dúvida e gostaria de saber se mais alguém que usa a rede da TIM notou este pequeno problema: Após efetuar o root, eu sempre tenho muita dificuldade em econtrar a rede TIM e o cartão SIM. Sempre que desligo o telefone é necessário remover a bateria para poder identificar o cartão SIM e achar a rede TIM.

Alguém mais teve este problema? Não seria necessário encontrar um arquivo ".pit" específico para a TIM ou driver de comunicação?

Obrigado!

flash with XXLD1 (as XXLD3 is not avaliable-will this work)?

go to sammobile

download XXLD3 firmware and flash it?

you have to start your phone with the "root-kernel". could be that if you use the xxld1 "root-kernel" your phone won't start.

No problem at all.

The phone shows xxld1 as kernel and it's rooted (titanium backup e root explorer working).

I would have tried to install the xxdl3 kernel over the rooted one, but in my understanding it could cause problems due to possible difference in kernel, but I may be (gladly) mistaken.

WiFi sleep policy in our Advance working with big delay.

Inspirated by this topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=774507 , ive create short tutorial How to handle with it :)

What You need:

rooted i9070

BusyBox, Terminal Emulator and aSQLiteManager from GooglePlay (all apk free)

No need connection with PC

Run BusyBox, wait for a while, choose Install, wait again, exit BusyBox.

Run Terminal Emulator and type commands:

su

busybox cp /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /sdcard/settings/db

do not exit from terminal, just press Home button, run aSQLiteManager:

Open Databse

choose settings.dbon sdcar - Ok - Ok - secure - Data - New

_id left empty

name wifi_idle_ms

value 60000 (it means 60 seconds, but you can type your own time to turn off WiFi after screen off)

- ok

Back key - Menu key - Export database - ok - exit from aSQLiteManager.

Notification bar, back to terminal.

type commands:

busybox cp /sdcard/settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

chown system.system /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Exit from Terminal Emulator.

Turn off phone. Turn on.

Now WiFi is goin to sleep after time you set.

Hello!

I don't have much time at the moment, so I've deceided to write a little guide on how to repack original kernel by yourself. You need to install Cygwin on your pc. This is a linux command prompt for windows. If you have linux installed, than this can be done in terminal. Then you have to copy kernel.bin.md5 into cygwin home direcotry (this diretory is created during install process). After that there are only three steps to do, to repack it. Run Cygwin and write this:

tar -cvf XXLD3.tar kernel.bin.md5

md5sum -t XXLD3.tar >> XXLD3.tar

mv XXLD3.tar XXLD3.tar.md5

That is it, you can now use your repacked kernel in my rooting process, at step 10.

Good luck!

Hi, first time poster here, saw the registration video, did the search but i would still prefer to ask the question so don´t eat me please :-)

I bought i9070p (with NFC) here in czech republic, but it´s t-mobile branded. I would like to debrand it.

questions:

1) can I backup this t-mobile fw in case something goes wrong with the phone so I can RMA it?

2) would this FW be okay for this phone - GT-I9070P - Open Germany (from sammobile)?

simple go to your phone settings and then the "about phone" section.

There you can have all the details.

basically what you need to check is a 5 character alpha-numeric code,

like u may check you baseband version

it should look like

"I9070 ***** "

the thing that replaces " ***** " is your kernel version and find it on the list in the first post of this thread.

Rooting Austrian general GT-I9070P (with NFC) using this method

Just to add my two cents:

As I didn't get any answers to my recently posted question, I did some research and managed to root my newly aquired GT-I9070P, which has the product code: GT-I9070HKNATO and HIDSWVER: I9070PXXLD4/I9070PATOLE1/I9070PXXLD4/I9070PXXLD4. Here are my experiences:

It is clearly POSSIBLE to root the NFC type of the Galaxy S Advance with this method (GT-I9070P)

I did NOT get a yellow triangle using qzem's rooting method.

It is really quite easy to aquire an Odin flashable original kernel! ;)

Regarding the kernel:

You have to download your appropriate firmware. I used Check Fus 2.0 and the Check Fus Downloader 2.1 for this http://fus.nanzen.se - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834884

Extract the contents of the downloaded file until you see a file called kernel.bin.md5 - I used 7zip for this.

Use the following guide provided by qzem: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28535675&postcount=259 to repack the kernel file into an Odin flashable format.

Now you have the original kernel repacked and can use it in step 10 of qzem's rooting guide, which you better follow to the letter from this point onward! http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26249467&postcount=1

Today everything fine again....it's a pity I'm just a noob with no programming skills. If someone can come up with an explanation, I'd be very interested how this can happen...
