Eagerly waiting for custom roms

I brought grand 2 days back and I love the device....but the limited app memory needs to be solved.....Help us developers.!:good:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] RITZYtheDEVIL:
Dont even think of rooting it the way you root note 2 via Odin. Basically, what you do with odin is that you flash a custom kernel on the device that supports root. But there are no custom kernels available for this phone as of yet (I'm sure they will come in future though). And flashing Note 2's kernel on this device will simply brick it.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] coolbuddyin:
None of avialable methods are working for Galaxy Grand of my friend

I tried

Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18

SuperSu_GS3_Debugfs_r2b

flashing through stock recovery

RootTransmission

None of them seem to be working

Only way is have custom cmw or twrp made for grand and flash from cmw recovery to get root access and push SU and BB

unless some developers step in ,its not possible to have root

Either bootloader is locked or current way of rooting is patched ,

only method would be flashing insecure kernel or custom recovery to flash file from the phone itself

Dont ever try flashing cmw recovery of s duos or note 2 or s3,it will brick your phone

biggest flaw of Galaxy grand is its not able to use Microsd card for games data and app data,its needs to be rooted to swap the ext sd to int sd

Otherwise with 4gb memory,its usefull for nothing

Re: [Q]New forums for Samsung galaxy grand GT-I19082

androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-grand/

here there is a new forum made for galaxy grand and rooting guide is coming soon there!

I am not a dev but I have been reading many forums as I am new to xda and its kinda interesting

here is the link for a stock odin flashable firmware

hotfile.com/dl/191194606/a4fca87/GT-I9082_XTC_I9082XXAMAC_I9082OLBAMA4_I9082XXAMA9.zip.html

if I am not wrong we can extract kernel from PDA.tar and modify it with TWRP or CWM and we can normally flash superSU to get root ..am I saying it correct?(1st time saying such things)

(sorry for not posting links properly because I don't have 10 posts)

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] RITZYtheDEVIL:
Have you tried rooting the orthodox way? via adb. That's what we used to do in eclair days. Might still work.

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

Yes, what you're saying is totally correct, and that's how custom kernels are made. But the problem is modifying the kernel or recovery is not so easy and requires a big time professional.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] conanFX:
Re: [Q]New forums for Samsung galaxy grand GT-I19082

learned how to decompile a kernel and decompiled one s3 kernel

seeing through forums to see how to replace cwm files to grands kernel but 740 mb is very heavy for me to download just to get a little kernel hope someone can lend me kernel if I come to know how to inject cwm in any kernel

Sent from my GT-I9082
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] RITZYtheDEVIL:
sure,,,, I can extract the kernel file and upload it (free high speed college internet, lol),,,, will do it tomorrow. Good luck with editing the kernel.

Re: [Q]New forums for Samsung galaxy grand GT-I19082

Another limitation (also seen in s3) is the lack of support for USB mass storage. Why?

My old galaxy R running ICS, had mass storage support.

I'm really mystified at this.

Is this a Samsung issue or a Android/Jellybean issue?

I mean what's the point of releasing a top hardware phone and then tying the users hands by including no support for apps to SD card, and a basic feature like Mass storage?

You give us a phone capable of running Nova 3, only problem is you can't install Nova 3 because of the pitiful memory and no way to move it to SD card.

What do they think we should with the phone-just use it for calls and SMS?

It's only because of devs, that our Android phones are actually usable, that Android has survived inspite of efforts of Samsung and the like to throttle it.

In fact no point in buying an Android phone these days unless you are equipped and capable of rooting and customizing it. And not every one wants to fiddle with their phone to make it usable.

Google / phone manufacturers must take note of this and urgently correct this situation. Presently they have become all too complacent.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] gta112010:
Did you succeed in rooting Grand

Hey did you succeeded in getting the phone rooted...and also as you a senior member try to contact other developers for separate forum...I have requested for device addition...
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] RITZYtheDEVIL:
Hey, downloading the rom, will upload the kernel shortly. But from my personal experience, decompiling the kernel is easy, editing it is the real challenge. Keep messaging some devs, maybe they'll help out.

Re: [Q]New forums for Samsung galaxy grand GT-I19082

I handed over the device to my friend.,so I can not try any method now

May be grand has little more complicated for normal people like me with stock jb.

Devs must comein n help.

With stock recovery we can't flash.

My doubt is why methods (not custom cmw or custom kernels., universal android root techniques)working with jellybean devices of samsung like note 2., s2,s3 but grand is resistant.

Re: [Q]New forums for Samsung galaxy grand GT-I19082

I have just managed to locate cwm files and contacted a friend who will help just waiting for someone to give the kernel! !

im stuck at 2.4%....
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] jitu_mania:
Chotu why don' u upload it to google drive?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] athulpmenon:
stuck!!!

I'm stuck too......pls upload to mediafire or 4shared.....Downloading via IDM is so much easier....
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] roycejp:
That is how torrent works.

Initially there is just 1 seeder... the original uploader.

As more people finish downloads the seeders increase exponentially.

Turn off your monitor& go watch a movie or something.....come back after a couple of hours. :)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] jitu_mania:
Yes mediafire is the best option
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] gta112010:
stuck at 27% peers listed only have 5-6% download......
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] bullyishere:
can i update my galaxy s duos to jelly bean using this firmware ?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] jitu_mania:
I think no.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] codekidX:
NO ..Please dont try it :)

Guys then wait i will upload it to 4shared and give you the link as soon as its done ...so please dont go mad on me for late upload....really sorry for the inconvenience
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] roycejp:
That was exactly what Chotu222 ess trying to do, but failing. That is why he chose torrent option, which is best. Just stay patient til a couple of more people have got the complete file.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] bullyishere:
but if we can upgrade S2 to Note 2 firmware then why we cannot upgrade S duos to grand duos as both are dual sim..
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] panda_linger:
will using this rooted firmware affect my signal or anything?

if i find that the root firmware is not better than the original firmware can i flash back to original firmware without the root?

Im afraid that the firmware that chotu use is not suitable for my country use.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] jitu_mania:
Please stop seeding for torrent so that your upload to 4shared will be fast.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] gta112010:
S duos has different procesor and thus different drivers for onboard hardware....A firmware basically is a set of instructions which directs the SOC to do processes.......even if drivers are arranged but it will be very hard to edit system and framework to work on S-duos
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] coolbuddyin:
@chotu split into two or three parts and upload them ,rather than a single archive

you can upload to dropbox or google drive and share too
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] jitu_mania:
I think Chotu is Offline now. He will Upload it tomorrow I think......

hey guys what about cwm recovery. ..will it be available with this rooted firmware
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] balliboxer:
Firmware itself a full package including kernel , recovery , system files , modem , cwm.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] roycejp:
it seems even Chotu222 is not seeding his own torrent.... :(

Chotu222, you need to continue seeding your torrent until a couple of more seeders appear !
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] yuvi123456:
.

seed it chotuzz ... very slow speed stuck at 22.7% will download it tomorrow. .... guys if anyone successfully flashed it then please post ur feedback about it....
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] grinna:
try mediafire is good
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] yuvi123456:
.

hey guys anyone has flashed successfully or not
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] roycejp:
To flash it one has to download it.....

to download it you need at least 1 seeder......

Right now there are no seeders.......

This download will take more than a week, at this rate.

Chotu222's pc seems to be switched off.

Now there are 97 leechers and NO seeders...

Chotu222 is our only hope, as he has the complete file. Please seed, buddy!

EDIT: even if it does take a week, it's better than not having it at all :)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] panda_linger:
LOL at least you are stuck at 22.7%.

im stuck at 7.7% and my computer is on the whole day.

wonder if he is gonna seed it soon.

:D
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] gta112010:
No there will not be any Clock Work Recovery...as chotu told that buttons were not working....thus there will be samsung stock ADB recovery
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] roycejp:
Now there's 1 line seeder...must be Chotu222... I'm currently at 7.8%.

I think I'm going to stop downloading so that the others finish faster...then someone will upload it to a sharing site....

I suggest that we all stop downloading. Leave about 20 leechers.

Once they download, we will get more seeders, then we can resume downloading again.

The alternative is to continue like this, and download this file for the next 15 days.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Ohkuni:
Hey guys,

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] coolbuddyin:
I don't know why I am connecting to all leechers

I am downloading at only 10kbps.

I'm using a seedbox. So all else pls stop downloading. It would be one

to one seeding.

Once I finish I can seed at 100mbps.

So all pls stop downloading.

Otherwise this will take a week

Hey guys I installed gl to sd ... I successfully moved all the app data.. but after playing the game I am getting the file data again in my internal memory.... help needed....
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] roycejp:
I already mentioned this in the 'Root guide' thread.

For some games, You have to always start from the GL to SD interface, else it will try to download data again.

I've been using it on galaxy R, s3, and now grand. Works fine.

Edit: also after you download the game. Do not open it from app drawer, but from GL to SD. Then it will download the additional data to external SD.

GL to SD has to be mounted while using the game. If you select 'Unmount and Exit' you cut the link between internal& external SD. Just select Exit.

Anyways, I always start the game from GL to SD, do I never had this issue.

Can we expect a kernel which enable USB OTG in our device like in s3 and note 2, in the future?

Do the Grand's board has the ability to supply power to a USB mass storage device?

(I had a HTC Sensation ,i used a kernel and enabled USB OTG in it, but extra power had to supply for it either from charger or from an

external battery, That was very annoying, I hope Grand won't need an external power supply for OTG to work)
