I also have a i9070 from Argentina (Movistar) and I'm trying to root it. I can't download my rom from checkfus because when I select Android/GT-I9070/Argentina (Moviestar) I get this message:

Anyway, I've downloaded the ¿backup? firmware from sammobile. I was about to begin rooting when I found out that my firmware VSLD1 is not listed among those on step 10. I read somewhere that someone from my country used this tutorial and flashed XXLD2 without problems. Do you think that it would be safe for me to do that? I really don't understand much about this.

Furthermore, I'm also worried about having to backup some sort of service/carrier info before starting the process. (I'm sorry if the words I'm using are not correct) How would my phone know which server to connect to after rooting? Are there any extra precautions I could take before following the steps in this tutorial?

I really want to root my phone, I hope you can help me.

Thanks in advance.

My baseband version is - I9070DDLK2. for this which kernel version should i download for rooting?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Garo64:
Hello

Hawe the same problem baseband version is I9070XXLK2

I think i will need the XXLK2.tar.md5 can some one help to find it
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] qzem:
Ok cause I don't follow this thread often, here is one more time the procedure for rooting any firmware. You can find the correct firmware on sammobile.com. Download it, and extract it twice to get the kernel.bin.md5. Than download an install Cygwin, if you are using windows, to get shell commands. If you have linux you don't need it. Than copy kernel.bin.md5 in you cygwin home folder (you've set this folder during installation). Now run Cygwin and enter thos commands:

tar cvf theNameOfKernel.tar kernel.bin.md5
md5sum -t theNameOfKernel.tar >> theNameOfKernel.tar
mv theNameOfKernel.tar theNameOfKernel.tar.md5

You use this repacked kernel in second phase of flashing, when you repeat the steps. That's it! And remember, don't expect that everything will be made for you, sometimes you need to put in some effort and do it by yourself. The satisfaction you will get, will be the best reward you can get :)!

If you don't understand this procedure, please use google or some other search engine to get the answers you need. If you still don't know what you are doing, ask in the thread, I am sure someone will answer your question.

Have a happy new year everybody, and the best of luck! :fingers-crossed:

Unable to Root XXLK2 Firmware

Phone recently updated OTA to firmware I9070XXLK2, I9070BTULK1

Am trying to Root phone using Qzems method but cannot get Root access.

Downloaded latest firmware (I9070XXLK2_I9070BTULK1_BTU.zip) from sam mobile and extracted twice to get kernel.bin.md5

Copied this into Cygwin / Home / Sub Folder and run the following commands –

tar cvf XXLK2.tar kernel.bin.md5

md5sum -t XXLK2.tar >> XXLK2.tar

mv XXLK2l.tar XXLK2.tar.md5

This created the file XXLK2.tar.md5

Flashed using Odin with files GT-I9070_EUR_XX_8G_20111220_KL6.pit and rootkernel.tar.md5.

Rebooted and reflashed with GT-I9070_EUR_XX_8G_20111220_KL6.pit and XXLK2.tar.md5

Don’t know what firmware was on phone prior to OTA update.

Any ideas what i am doing wrong ?

You can't flash custom recovery but you can flash custom kernels and kernels includes custom recoveries :) For JB kernel, you need to JB Firmware if you try to flash JB kernel to GB.It will (probably) brick your phone.

If you can still get to download mode, then you could try flash original firmware. But try to use different usb port on your pc. There is nothing wrong with this rooting method, it is just that Odin sometimes could f*** up. I am very sorry if it happend to you, but as I said if you can still get to the download mode, than I think you are good :).

Well since I am here, I've hard bricked (can't turn it on at all) my phone, and I got no warranty, I would have to buy a new one, but this phone is not yet selling in my country so I think I won't buy it anymore. I was trying to reset custom binary counter, and sh*** happened. I get it to the servicer and he said there is no way to revive it. The motherboard needs to be replaced, but it is to expensive for now... I hope someone else will continue to develop on this phone, and you'll get some custom roms in near future.

Good luck guys
