Rooting GT-S7562

Hi guys,

I have been reading the complete thread about the GT-S7562. I want to root my phone, and I want to be sure to do the right thing. First of all, my phone is from a Portugese carrier (however, I bought the phone in The Netherlands), and is updated with the latest firmware released on October 16. I am very new into Android, and I'm trying to inform myself to the utmost, to have enough knowledge to do the job properly. Even if I would brick the phone, that I would be able to restore everything from scratch. So I do have a couple of questions.

1. Can I root the phone as described on page 5 with the "recovery.tar" file, without doing any damage? There are different versions of this phone, when it comes to the firmware.

2. Does CWM influence anything of the stock ROM, or is it just a program that you run next to the stock ROM?

3. I want to use Directory Bind, for NavFree navigation app. Tell me if this is the correct procedure: root the phone as described on page 5, copy Directory Bind to internal or external SD card. Install Directory Bind by using CWM. After reboot, open Directory Bind to link the file of NavFree (which are already pre-installed on the external SD card), according the the procedure as which can be found in the Directory Bind thread. Job done????

4. What is the actual purpose of the recovery.tar file? Is this to unlock the phone?

5. If there is a new firmaware update in the future from KIES (or software update from phone), is it neccesary to root the phone again with the same recovery.tar file?

In case I brick the phone: I have downloaded the original firmware for my phone with the correct versions of PDA/Phone and CSC from sammobile.com (503 MB).

1. Do I have to flash this firmware with Odin? I saw some info in this thread about it, but it was not quite clear to me. I know it should be the file with the "tar" extension. This to be set in the PDA box?

2. Can you restore the back up, which was made with CWM, after a clean install of the firmware?

As I said, I want to be carefull, preventing doing stupid things to my phone.

Thanks in advance for answering my questions. And if you have any additional information, which could be important for me, please don't hasitate to tell me.

Regards

Anyone interested to cook roms?

I guess no one is interested... :(
[General Questions and Answers] tristone:
DirectoryBind is normal application. You can simply install it without going into recovery (CWM).

After installation you will launch it and choose which directory from external card should be mapped into which directory on internal storage. Quite simple.

Hey folks, new here to these forums. I posted in the other thread robert quoted above. I did not follow the steps mentioned to get the original ICS keyboard.

I installed only the LatinImeGoogle.apk, from the sdcard on my non-rooted S7562. Works fine.

Thanks to vikassaini01 for the great tutorial, although I am holding off on rooting for the moment to save my warranty, unless/until chainfire solves our flashcounter problem.

2- I had try many softwares that check if the mobile is rooted or not such as (Busybox, Superuser, and Titanium backup) and all these programs advise me that the mobile is not rooted).

Please advise me if the reason of fault root my device is from the recovery ( I mean the attache recovery did not specified for the middle east) or there are other reason !!!??

"how do you download apps from device? i am unable to download applications. tell me how to get google play application?
[General Questions and Answers] robert__:
Either start the Google Play application on the phone, or visit play.google.com on your PC.

This assumes you have your Google account linked with the phone, which you where asked about when you first switched on the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] pirracas77:
Dialing & DUALSIM

Hi:

I'm thinking in to buy this phone.

How does the dialing work?

Does the phone ask about on which SIM you want to perfom the call or you need to set up the current sim in the status bar as other Samsung Duos?

Both options?
[General Questions and Answers] voom:
It has both options, at least partly: the usual Samsung Duos SIM-settings in the status bar and two buttons for the SIMs in the dialer-interface. Meaning it does not ask and uses the preset SIM when dialing from e.g. a contact, but you can press either button regardless of preset when using the dialer...
[General Questions and Answers] pirracas77:
Thanks.

What happens if you select a contact number from the list? Can you choose the sim?

Enviado desde mi Lenovo A60 usando Tapatalk 2
[General Questions and Answers] voom:
If you select a contact number found and chosen via the dialer, you can choose directly by pressing either button as seen in the screenshot.

Whenever there is a call-option that does not involve the dialer, the preset SIM is used.

Since the notification-bar is available anywhere, opening it to select the desired SIM before actually starting the call is no problem. But that is like the other Android Duos', so you probably know that... :)

I did not succeed to get into recovery with that key-combination. Once I managed to start download-mode but that is supposed to react to Volume-Down, Home & Power... However, with adb there was no problem booting into recovery easily so I did not investigate that any further as that is sufficent for me.

Rooting by invoking an update.zip from recovery (3e) did not work because the signature verification failed. Loading CWM first to toggle sig. check off - I have not found any solution either to do that. So you are probably right that we need a custom kernel like CF-Root. Who would be capable and willing to look into that? (I did PM chainfire about it but maybe there are other developers who would look into that...)
[General Questions and Answers] robert__:
Hi Voom,

Yes, your right. I meant to type

Down

, not Up. When you boot the phone that way you get the following;

Warning!!
A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications.

If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key.
Otherwise, press the volume down key to cancel.

Volume up: Continue
Volume down: Cancel (restart phone)

Pressing volume-up gives;

[ODIN3]
PRODUCT: GT-S7562
VERSION:
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CUSTOM BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL

I don't think a Cyanogenmod ROM (or any clean AOSP ROM) will help us, as I don't think Cyanogenmod has support for dual-SIM phones, so you loose the functionality for which we bought a dual-sim phone. As such, I think our best hope is a way to root the existing ROM image.
[General Questions and Answers] voom:
Yes, as for a Custom ROM we would need something specifically made for the device; like there is now a Custom ROM for the Ace Duos.

What I meant was CWM RECOVERY though, to replace 3e as Recovery-Mini-OS, which gives the option to toggle signature verification, having turned that off there may be ways to flash an update.zip in order to root (like with the Ace Duos or Y Duos)...
[General Questions and Answers] andre.silva.92:
Hi again :)

Someone know what combination of keys we have to do for enter in recovery mode?:)
[General Questions and Answers] voom:
I have tried many many times but never managed to enter recovery mode by means of the devices buttons. With my Ace Duos - no Problem, works every time. With the S Duos: ???

It is supposed to be Volumen-Up - Home - Power - then release at vibration or at first glance of Samsung-Logo...

Connected to the PC with cmd adb reboot recovery no problem (needs adb on path, driver installed eg with Kies)
[General Questions and Answers] vikassaini01:
Hi,

Press The following combination for booting into recovery. (Works fine for me)

Keep all of them pressed until you see the samsung logo and then release them all.

Vol. UP + Vol. Down + Home + Power On

CWM and Odin is attached. Flash this CWM package using odin (make sure you reboot your phone into download mode for using odin)

I'm NOT responsible for any brick or other mis-happening. I tested it all on my galaxy S duos and it works fine.

Edit : CWM 6 replaced with CWM 5and reuploaded. CWM 5 works much smoother for me.
[General Questions and Answers] voom:
Flashing CWM does not root the device by itself, or does it? If not, what did you use to root (I suppose by loading an update.zip, that can be loaded by deactivating sig check?)

Maybe you could provide a little step-by-step for rooting and all files necessary? Many of us are eagerly waiting to root the S Duos but you are the first person I have spotted claiming to have succeeded :)

Edit: More questions:

Will this work with non-Indian StockROMs? Is the CWM you posted specific for India?

Will this trigger the Flashcounter?

Will this inhibit OTA-Update making it necessary to flash future Updates from Samsung manually via Odin?

:confused: How does one press Vol. UP and Vol Down simultaniously? They are constructed either-or, are they not?

:good:This indeed works, I am astonished ;)
[General Questions and Answers] xpacguy:
Can anyone help with the key combination for taking screenshots..
[General Questions and Answers] voom:

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

I used adb to push su and superuser.apk after booting into recovery.

But anyways, I will create a full guide for CWM and root.

Will this work with non-Indian StockROMs? Is the CWM you posted specific for India?

>> It should work because they all have the same hardware.

Will this trigger the Flash Counter?

>> Yes, it will.

Will this inhibit OTA-Update making it necessary to flash future Updates from Samsung manually via Odin?

>> I'm not sure about it but it should work because I connected my phone to KIES (after rooting and CWM) and it was working fine with it.
[General Questions and Answers] vikassaini01:
Here is the full guide. If you like, please press the thanks button, ;)

CAUTION : It will VOID your Samsung Warranty and set/increase your custom flash counter.

You will also see a yellow triangle below Samsung logo during each boot.

Please take a Full NANDROID Backup using CWM once CWM is flashed. This is useful in case you want to return to Samsung Official stock ROM or in case something goes wrong.

You can flash back to stock recovery if you don't need CWM any further OR if you want to remove the yellow triangle.

Samsung stock recovery is attached below with this post.

Requirements :

1. Samsung Galaxy S duos S7562 Phone

2. Latest USB Drivers for Samsung Mobiles (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=961956)

3. Odin Flashing Tool (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32500955&postcount=35)

4. CWM 5 Recovery (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32500955&postcount=35)

5. Superuser or SuperSU ZIP (attached with this post) (any one of them)

Procedure :

1. Install latest USB Drivers for your Samsung Mobile in your PC.

2. Switch off your mobile.

3. Press and Hold "Vol. Down + Home + Power" buttons until the phone vibrates.

Once phone vibrates, leave all buttons.

4. It will Show you a Warning.

Press Vol. UP button to Continue.

5. Now you will see [Odin3] screen on phone which is Download Mode.

6. Connect your Phone to your PC and wait till it install the drivers.

7. Download and Extract Odin.zip

Open Odin. It will detect your phone on some COM Port.

You will see screen like this :

8. Now click on PDA and select the recovery.tar file.

Now, it will look like this :

9. Now make sure the following :

Auto-Reboot is checked.

F. Reset Time is checked.

All others are unchecked.

Click on start.

Odin will start flashing.

wait for atleast 2-3 minutes.

Odin will automatically reboot your phone and you will see Pass written on Odin.

Keep the phone connected to your PC.

10. Let the phone boot properly and then close the odin.

11. Now, for Rooting, you have two options.

Superuser or SuperSU. Both works good, you can choose any of them.

so, Download CWM-Superuser-3.1.3.zip OR CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip and copy to your MicroSD card.

If you don't have MicroSD card, you can copy it to phone's internal SD card memory.

12. Boot into CWM Recovery Mode by :

Vol. UP + Vol. Down + Home + Power

Keep all of these pressed until you see samsung logo and then release.

Use Vol. Up and Down to navigate and to select, use Home button. To go back, press Power button.

IMPORTANT : GO to "Back and Restore" and create a FULL NADROID BACKUP by using "backup" option. It will be very useful in case something goes wrong.

- "install zip from sdcard"

- choose zip from sdcard (if files are in external microsd)

OR choose zip from internal sdcard (if file are in phone's internal sd card memory)

navigate to CWM-Superuser-3.1.3.zip OR CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip and select it.

That's it.

Go back using power button to CWM Home screen and reboot the phone.

Like I mentioned in my first post, I'm very new into Android. I have problems to see which apps have to be installed with CWM, and which can be done in normal mode. I'm not really into fooling around with my phone, but for me is important to extend my memory by the external micro SD card.Cocerning the mapping procedure in Directory Bind: I've seen some tutorials on Youtube for that. I guess that won't be a problem.

Hope you can provide me also the anwsers on my other questions in my first post.
