Galaxy S advance 8GB

Hi guys ...

Sorry if i am not in the right field maybe, but i need a little help here.

I bought this new terminal but for now it is not rooted yet but i am having a little strange thing, it must be an 8 GB internal storage with 768 MB RAM but in the fact the terminal shows only 4 GB internal storage and only 489/502 MB RAM.

I don't find anything on the internet about a device with this specification and sure it is a new galaxy s advance. On the box is written 8GB.

Is that possible ?

If the seller as updated the phone to the last firmware available is it possible that the phone may act strange to this new update ?

Let me know if anybody knows something about this strange problem.

Any Advice ?

Thank you so much .

Firmware is the last one:

PDA	I9070XXLD1

PHONE	I9070XXLD1

CSC	I9070OXFLC2

COA

build info : Sun Apr 1 19:21:57 KST 2012

SSN	I9070GSMH

FCC ID	A3LGTI9070

Thank you so much qzem!!!

Hi qzem,

I'm from Germany and bought a GT-I9070P a few days ago. Your rooting-method worked great (I used your xxld2-kernel) :victory: .

So now I'm a proud superuser :cool: *brag brag* ... THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH for your awesome work :good::good::good:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] qzem:
Hey guys me again. I am very sorry to see that no developer is interested in helping you out. Look, don't you give up! There are many developers here. I would start like this, find as many developers who are working on Samsung devices. And see which of them has ported CWm recovery or any other custom recovery. Write them, PM them, even email them if you find email :)! Ask them all very nice, who is willing to help you build custom recovery. I can give you some of the names (Chainfire, arco68, radizero - he has his own recovery, he made one for my previous phone Galaxy W I8150). Search other developers on your own, you need your custom recovery. When you'll have that, than some of you will learn to make custom roms, it is not that hard, with rom kitchen, you don't even need linux for this.

ONLY YOU CAN DO IT, TOGETHER!

Good luck!

P.S.: Do it today, and do whatever it takes. Donating, PMs, open new thread for help, and start researching on your own!

GT i9070-ZSLF1

Hi,

I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy S i9070 from Hong Kong. I've been reading about rooting my phone, but i can not find any info my my phones Firmware. Its currently running i9070ZSLF. The only information I can find is on SamMobile telling me that my Firmware is for HK and Taiwan.

IS there a way i can put I9070XXLD1 firmware on my phone and then use this method to root my phone? Or should i just give this rooting method a go and see what happens?

Any advice would be great.

Thanks Guys
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] hallihallo87:
Hi there.

Just bought a I8530 (Beam) and wanted to root it, but since there i no developers on that model i fell like playing a little bit with your method (phones are similar except the projector). Succeeded to flash rootkernel and a kernel, but got stuck on boot (offcourse) But havent tried to sign a kernel before. Du you think you can port it, cause they are very similar :)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] 1nt0x:
making sure

10. Now repeat steps from 4 to 9, with one exception at step 7 now choose xxld1.tar.md5. For other firmwares you can download appropriate kernels here:

just making sure !

im brazilian and i didnt understand...

at this step my kernel is VJLD1.tar.md5.

So instead of xxdl1.tar.md5

i should choose VJLD1.tar.md5 right ?

and other questio... If i root my phone ALL warranty is lost ?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Risuke:
Yeah my friend, u need use the VJLD1.tar.md5 in step 10 and when u do that, you lost your warranty.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] realpikolo:
Hi,

yes, Risuke is right...that's kernel you need to flash.

Rooting the phone you loose warranty, that is clear.

Can i ask you a favour?

Looks like /efs/nv_data.bin on that kernel has sim unlocked.... if you finally root your phone with that firm and kernel, could you please send me private message? I would like to ask you for that kernel /efs/nv_data.bin file. My phone is rooted with method in this thread, but using europe nordic firm and kernel and i am having problems to unlock my device.

Good luck with your rooting.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Risuke:
This file in my phone (VJLD1 rooted) has 0kb, should is empty. If u want I can send to u.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] realpikolo:
Thanks Risuke!

I am fighting to have my SGSA unlocked! (for free, of course :) )

You told me that kernel was sim unlocked. Can you confirm that?

What do you have when you type this in your phone keyboard?

*#7465625#

I have 'net block' ON .

If you have OFF then i am interested in your /efs folder content.

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Risuke:
I've attached one screenshot to you. That's u need?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] realpikolo:
Yes!

You have net block OFF just rooting your phone with VJLD1.tar.md5 kernel? You did nothing else?

I am sending you private message.

Thanks :)

noob

Hi I'm just new here, can somebody fill me up please. My baseband and kernel version are DXLD1, should I update my phone? if so which firmware? Thank you very much
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Risuke:
Just do step 1 to 9 with "rootkernel.tar.md5" downloaded at step 1, and repeat everything... but this time in step 7 you're use DXLD1.tar.md5.

Clear?

Good luck.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] downsouth07:
so instead of xxld1.tar.md5 i should download the appropriate kernel which is DXLD1.tar.md5. ?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Risuke:
Yeah friend :D
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] downsouth07:
ok thank you! goodluck to me. one more question, if i successfully updated my phone will there be a lot of significant changes?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Risuke:
Yes, you will be able to uninstall applications system, change the bootscreen, adding tweaks to build.prop and more more more things...

Successfully Rooted SGS Advance

Thanks to qzem, I successfully rooted my GT-i9070 - 'DDLD4'. I have been a Symbian user all along., exactly 23 day old Android user. So I was quite skeptical about Rooting. But first I downloaded everything required and followed the instruction verbatim and I was successful Rooting my phone the first time i tried.

I was scared when the phone went into rebooting again and again when connected to the comp, so I pulled out the usb cable and and rebooted the phone only to realize that my attempt to root was successful one. So i want to know if it happens to everyone or something was amiss?

The other thing i did was that i Disabled the USB debugging setting only to realize later that i should not have done so.So for new users it MUST be mentioned here

Not to Disable the USB debugging after Rooting

Hi,

sorry for time waiting. Busy at work and not much time for this.

I was not successful with unlocking SIM.

I didn't find what in my 'efs' folder is still locking my sim. So, i even tried flashing the Brazilian firm and kernel, but that didn't unlock my sim.

So, i am at the beginning...i will post if someday i find something :o

Can we flash official samsung firmware via odin? With cooper file? =-O
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] wetfoot:
Thanks very much for making this guide!

If any one can give me some advice on the following it would be really appreciated as I am having no luck with my research/fiddling!

I wonder if anyone knows of someone who came up with a way to sim unlock this phone?

I have rooted using this method and then tried Helroz's 'Galaxy_S Unlock'... but unfortunately I get the "You have busybox problem, fix it.". This is even though I have installed Super User, Busy box and am not connected to the pc via USB.

If there is any advice on a way to unlock the phone now (or even one that is in the works) I would really appreciate it if someone could let me know!

---------------------------------------------------

Also I was a little confused at what the second post in this thread's purpose was? I looked on the site linked too and chose the 'non vodaphone' 'United Kingdom' firmware link as I am quite sure the phone I got was locked to 'Virgin'... This seemed to change a lot on the phones appearance, space also seems to have gone from 8GB to 4 when flashed and also stop super user from working :eek:

...I then went over the first posts steps to root it again. Have I done anything bad? Could I still take this phone to a shop to get a sim unlock?

Sorry for all the questions! I appreciate that I am at the mercy of your charity guys :)

In the mean time I will continue to do some reading!

Once again... Thanks guys :silly:

Edit:-------------

Flashed it with "I9070BULE2_I9070VODLE1_VOD" (the other UK options on that site) it still says I have 4GB space), I see earlier in this thread people have asked about this and been re-assured. Can anyone give a fuller explanation of why you would get readings on disk space and ram (I'll take your word on it all the same!)?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] ZiDanRO:
I have a similiar question do we realy need that PIT file when we flash this kernel?

Or when we try to flash a stock firmware with only one file, we still need the pit?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] wearethestorm:
Worked perfectly on the standard UK firmware. After freezing all the bloatware running in the background (and so freeing up a load of RAM) I really think my phone is a bit quicker... Also loving the Adblocker app!

I hope that if there's ever a firmware update for this model that I can unroot just as easily..

EDIT: Just wondered, is anyone using this phone getting crazy high number of partial wakelocks from RILJ (using betterbatterystats)? I get around 10,000 per charge :(
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Risuke:
You need PIT file one if you flash one of these files singly: (system.img, kernel.bin, cache.img, hidden.img and modem.bin) anyway if you download a full firmware in samfirmware.com, you dont need use it.

However, I have the following Version Information:

I went to Sammobile, but no firmware like mine is listed.

Now my question: is it safe to try and root my phone with any of the firmwares listed on the first post of the thread? Or should I, as qzem said, ask on the Sammobile.com forums for someone to provide me a firmware for my specific version? (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27044743&postcount=91)
