Frustrated with backup / root of android phone - Samsung galaxy grand - pls help

Frustrated with backup / root of android phone - Samsung galaxy grand - pls help

Hi Experts,

I have been reading and reading and reading threads and posts from last so many days to make sure I understand before rooting my newly purchased Samsung galaxy grand I9082.

However even after trying my best I am still confused. Pls help me clarify following questions.

Pls see my phone's existing firmware / OS status: Refer link below or attached screenshot

Q 1. I trust my above phone is right now having latest firmware from Samsung? How do i root without downgrading my firmware?

(Many forum posts seems to suggest rooting process but it downgrades firmware i believe)

Q2. After rooting can i continue to use Kies?

Q3. After rooting can i continue to update Samsung future updates?

Q4. What’s best effective backup method before rooting?

Q5. Will it be possible to safely revert back to position right now after rooting?

Pls address my questions in sufficient detail so that I can realize my dream of rooted android phone.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Anxiously looking forward for your helpful replies to move forward pls.

Q 1. I trust my above phone is right now having latest firmware from Samsung? How do i root without downgrading my firmware?

Ans- YES you can root without downgrading just use ODIN software and flash CWM recovery and flash SuperSU app- Rooting method will work on any Firmware-search on Youtube

Q2. After rooting can i continue to use Kies?

Ans- Yes you can use kies for media transfer and simple backup but do not Update your Firmware if it ask for Update

Q3. After rooting can i continue to update Samsung future updates?

Ans- Big NO

Q4. What’s best effective backup method before rooting?

ans- Download ODIN software basically Samsung Flashing Software and download Latest Firmware of your Grand from samfirmware site and use backup method from KIES also use Triangle away App (to remove Counter that how many times phone has been rooted-works on only official firmware)

Q5. Will it be possible to safely revert back to position right now after rooting?

Ans- Same as Answer 4( this will make your phone on official firmware) but if you want to Backup after Rooting than simply Take nandroid Backup (youtube will help)

How to Enable and Disable On-screen/soft Buttons

Enable on-screen buttons:

You will need root access for this. If your phone isn’t rooted, you can use this method to root the phone.

Install ES File Explorer File Manager on your phone from the Play Store. This is a file manager that will be used to edit those system files to enable/disable on-screen/soft buttons. Those already experienced with using a root-enabled file manager can go directly to 4.

Open ES Explorer. Then, click the menu button on your device and click Settings. Here, tick the “Up to Root” option. Then go down and tick the “Root Explorer” option, then press Allow/Grant button when prompted to grant it root access. Then, tick the “Mount File System Option” as well. Once all three options are selected, press back to exit the settings.

Hit the Up on top in ES Explorer till you reach the outermost folder (till it says / at the top).

Go into the system folder, then scroll down to find the build.prop file. Tap on this file to start editing it. If you get an “Open With” prompt, select “ES Note Editor”.

Now, at the end of the file (at the bottom after the last line), add the line “qemu.hw.mainkeys=0″ (without the ” quotes), then save the file (press the Menu button to see the Save option).

Then, reboot the phone. After the phone boots up, you should have the virtual on-screen buttons on your phone

Disable Soft Menu and Back keys:

In ES Explorer, now scroll to the system » usr » keylayout folder, then tap on the Generic.kl file. Select to open the file as “Text” in the first popup, then select “ES Note Editor” to open the file.

Now, find the line that says “key 139 menu”, then add a # in front of the text, so that it becomes “#key 139 menu”.

Similarly, add a # before the line that says “key 158 back”.

Then, save the file.

Reboot the phone, after which the capacitive menu and back keys should be disabled.

Playstore is the latest version 4.0.27

1) Rename the filename to 11extsd2internalsd

5) Check under settings, if it worked then
