tricky download status

One thing I discovered is that, "turning it off" is different from "removing the battery and back". It took me 2 days to understand that, "making it sure that it is turned off", black screen was not enough that it means it is turned off. That was why I had a problem in putting it in recovery and download status. Putting it in "adb recovery bootloader" via adb gave me an artificial driver problem. Just posting this in case the same will happen to others in here.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] subha632:
Oh then what's the solution?

And does the first firmware also with bootloader locked?

New GT-IXXXX

Samsung might produce a relatively the same GT-I8552 phone with maximized features, and will profit by selling the same hardware but improved configurations.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Jasi2169:
Press Vol Down+Home+Power button all together when it vibrates ,release only power button (keep pressing vol Down+home button) u will c yourself in downloading mode ;)

Portuguese :- Imprensa Vol Baixo + Home + botão Power todos juntos quando ele vibra, solte o botão de energia só (mantenha pressionando vol Baixo + botão home) u vai c-se em modo de download;):D

GT-Ixxxx

I am an owner of both GT-I9082 and GT-I8552, almost the same specs except GT-I8552 has 4 cores and the other has only 2. I bought GT-I9082 for PhP17,000.00, while after a month, I bought GT-I8552 for only PhP15,000.00. They call 9082 as Grand and 8552 as Win here in Ph. The point here is that, why they sell 8552 at 2k lower than the 9082, a quad core phone cheaper than a dual core stuff? The only things 9082 better than an 8552 is that for battery (2100 vs 2000) and the display size (5.0" vs 4.7"). Samsung must sold GT-I8552 for an abnormally lower price! And making up later, giving us headache by bombarding us security hassles through their ota.

Not working on updated firmware

Hi everyone.

I was able to root my galaxy quattro initially with framaroot v1.42.

After that i updated my firmware to AMG1 via KIES. After that i am not able to root my device again.

Ive tried all versions of framaroot (upto v1.53).

Please help.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] sukritgsood:
Did anyone try the new method - Beta Release??

I tried but nothing happened.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] rahulsnair:
That update script is based on cwm ... so I just tried for a compatibility test..
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] rahulsnair:
Framaroot doesn't work on 3.4.0 infra linux kernal
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] asifliv:
thats true as I have the exact same kernal and each time I have an Error 10# apart from 1.5.3 which freezes and closes it self when selecting rooting option.

Is there another way to root this phone, or is it a case of waiting?

Cheers

[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] shabbypenguin:
So i received a very interesting PM asking to come here and help in any way i could with figuring out this bootloader situation. normally i read teh entire thread and make my post/findings but after 2-3 pages i just couldnt take anymore.

You guys think the bootloader on this device is locked, because you get a black screen when booting cwm? that could be plenty of reasons why most of them dealing with graphics.c.

someone who has root do me a favor:

adb shell or terminal emulator

upload those files (aboot should be under 512KB, the two kernels will be 10-25MB's each). and quote my post (ill get an email alert) so i know when to look back through.

im willing to eat my hat but id bet money that you guys arent locked one bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] drganbds:
It says no such file or directory on any of this commands..

Please some other guys please extract those files and upload here...

It gives me error may be because I had old kernal.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] rahulsnair:
Are you serious mate...
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] shabbypenguin:
interesting, i was under teh impression this phone had a qualcomm snapdragon 400 cpu? qualcomm has been using by name for a bit. anyways no matter.

adb shell

ls -l /dev/block/platform

pastebin that please. if you wish for more of a real time, ill be awake and online for at least another hour- http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=oudhitsquad

https://github.com/OUDhs/android_device_samsung_delos3geur

there is the device tree for cwm, its compiling now but my main desktop is broken (psu is broken) so compiling is about 7-10 times slower than normal. when its completed ill have the tar upload. this will be teh first test build, but it should boot have internal and external storage working. graphics may be messed up, if they arent then you guys should be good to go with doing roms and kernels etc.

if you are rooted ensure you remove /system/etc/install-recovery.sh using a file manager etc. if you dont you will have a hard time having cwm to stick.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] shabbypenguin:
i have no idea what you are talking about. if you cant get root and get rid of that file it becomes a bit more complicated.

youd have to loa dup odin, uncheck auto-reboot, let recovery flash, pull out usb, pull out the battery, put the battery back in, press and hold the required keys to get into recovery mode.

should you let the device boot up regularly after flashing cwm and that script is there it will remove cwm.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] drganbds:
Rahul did u try wat shabby is talking about..:confused::confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] rahulsnair:
I got it.. since I m not rooted I cant do it.. there is a file called install-recovery.sh inside the folder /etc/ we should remove it before flashing his recovery..he ll upload his recovery here in a while
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] drganbds:
Ok and one more thing that I didnt update my quattro to the newest kernal but I had root and with previous kernal...is that ok or should I update before I try this cwm recovery build???
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] rahulsnair:
No need...
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] drganbds:
Then I should remove that file before I flash this recovery right?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] rahulsnair:
Yes.. remove it or rename to to install-recovery.sh. bak
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] lokeshtak:
rahul...plz give me a favour...

can we update kernel after instaling recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] rahulsnair:
I m not sure in that .. srry
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] lokeshtak:
ok...no prob..

we will check it..after flashing recovery ;)

anyway tree formation on github take place by that mean we can try for cynogenmod ..or else..

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

but where is recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] rahulsnair:
It is compiling.... taking too much time (shabby said)
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] shabbypenguin:
Ok so this is taking far too long, its 3am and its crappy single core is approaching 2 hours of compiling (on my main desktop i finish it in about 4ish mins).

sorry guys im going to bed, it will compile overnight and ill upload when i get up.

[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] shabbypenguin:
I hate to break it to you guys but cm etc doesnt just happen. you need to take the cwm device tree fix it up some, compile cm with it and fix everything. when its fully working and doesnt break other devices the person working on it submits it to cm to be added.

anyways here is CWM test number one:

Download CWM test

Download Odin

Put your device in download mode, load up odin and put cwm in pda. if you didnt deal with install-recovery.sh then uncheck auto reboot and click start. when it finishes pull battery and usb, then put the battery back in and boot directly into recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] drganbds:
Thanks shabby but is that u got any error on compilation?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] shabbypenguin:
no, my desktop is broken, replacement computer im using is single core and 2gb ddr2. i vastly underestimated on how quickly it would be done. to get an error compiling cwm you really have to try, its the easiest part of android to compile.

[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] shabbypenguin:
no need to worry about what version you are on etc. this cwm will work on any firmware version in fact should you guys get 4.2 you can flash this recovery and then a superuser/supersu.zip and get root that way.

with a working recovery you guys are forever rootable :)

edit: test 2 is the same as test 1, but i changed the default recovery keys, its how we fixed teh scrolling issue on the sgs4 so im hoping it works here. if it doesnt then ill have to talk with some people in hopes of fixing it.
