If I root the Grand 2, will I be able to go back to stock rom, if needed, for warranty purposes?

Does this phone have the KNOX?

My Grand 2 is just 5 days old and already had got it upgraded by connecting to Kies3.

I need to root as I have to use the reverse tethering.

please help me with the answers

Guys,

How about bootloader status before root with CF root?

Does BL on your G7102 still being locked until you flashed it?

My phone is being in first 7-days warranty and looking for a way to root it.

My current firmware is XXUANE2 also.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] anand4edu:
Bootloader will be locked. Rooting works perfectly on NE2. stay with clean installation.

[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] Faisal0000:
Are you guys able to recieve OTA updates after rooting by this method? Because I tried flashing the balliboxers prerooted rom and I was told that I had a modified firmware and there are no updates available for my phone. Hope we can recieve OTA updates using this method because after all it is the stock rom.:confused:
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] Faisal0000:
It is quite simple to use and gives root access.(Towel Root)

But the supersu cannot be installed:(

When I install it it says to update binary through recovery or normal installation which does not work but some root requiring apps seem to work such as busy box.

Strange.:confused:
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] anand4edu:
Once you rooted you won't be able to do OTA. You need to re flash stock ROM and update the latest via OTA. Then root it again.

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

Try clean installation.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] pururava:
Clean installation? I am bit confused here..

Isnt clean installation for big OS changes like custom ROMs? I am NOT tryin to flash custom ROM..i m just tryin to flash small CF-autoroot file..

Is clean installation required for such small changes?

N i did already wiped data n cache..isnt that clean installation itself?

If clean installation is necessary for CF-autoroot, then please tell me what exact procedure is necessary for that..
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] schubeir:
Hi,

Have you tried the TOWELROOT? search for it in this forum.

click on thanks if you think i helped.

all the very best.

[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] pururava:

[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] anand4edu:
1. Restart the device in recovery mode

2. Do factory reset

3. Flash stock ROM

4. Do CF autoroot

5. Restart.

You should not be getting the issue
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] schubeir:
Hi, I had tried Balliboxer's rom and now I have reverted to stock rom.

when I go to download mode, i see a yellow triangle.

I have not rooted the phone after the stock rom was installed.

does this mean that now my warranty is void?

schubeir
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] pururava:
well..i have tried both factory reset from recovery mode n flashing of stock ROM 3-4 times in last 2 days..though it may be possible that i did not do it in the same exact order as u say..

well...i ll try to do it in this same order again..

bt i dont think it ll work..

i personally think its issue of either bootloader or my firmmware XXUANE2 beinng unsupported...cos i read 2-3 guy complaining same for NE2 firmware..

[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] mithun84:
Bro, u can proceed to Root ur G2 with CF-Auto Root through ODIN......

But if u r on JB, u can easily Root ur G2 with TowelRoot.apk through normal apk installation.......

And if u r on KitKat, u can install any suitable Custom recovery, like-CWM, PhilZ Touch Recovery etc through ODIN and flash SuperSU as well.......

But on any Platform of G2, u can easily install CF-Auto Root through ODIN to Root ur device.........
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] Rasool-Hamilton:
So You mean that I can use G7102 Recovery and CF_Root for G710 ?
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] mithun84:
Yes, u can use any suitable Custom Recovery (CWM, PhilZ Touch Recovery or TWRP) to Root ur G7102 very easily and also can use CF-Auto Root too...........

Oh God ... thank you very much buddy .. you're my hero now [emoji2] [emoji106]
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] mithun84:
Bro, it will be much Better if u'll go to install the TowelRoot.apk for JB platform; and on KitKat platform, install the PhilZ Touch Recovery version 6.49 only and flash SuperSU version 2.01 only to get 100% safe Root of ur Galaxy Grand2..............

[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] MAXTakki:
i flashed CWM-Touch-6.0.4.8-ms013g but recovery mode never start

what steps should i follow
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] neonkat:
Enter recovery mode via"vol.up+home+power btn alltogether"(device must be switched off)...else you can also use somw apps which helps to boot in recovery mode from one click in the app itself(need root for that)...

Follow the steps correctly while flashing..the moment odin says pass,pull the battery from mobile and reinsert..enter recovery mode"vol.up+power+home alltogther"...
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] MAXTakki:
i Enter recovery mode via"vol.up+home+power that work with CWM-6.0.4.9-ms103g-Beta

but when i flash CWM-Touch-6.0.4.8-ms013g and try enter recovery mode not enter and blue screen appears and device restart in less than 1 second

some one said in youtube he face the same problem i faced( this package is for device ms013g,ms01lte; this device is ms103g.)

and say he flashed kitkat first then it worked i just want to flash any rom that would work with odin i downloaded this rom G7102XXUANA1_G7102OJVAML3_G7102XXUAML5_HOME.tar.md5 but odin failed ?!?!

Hi [MENTION=5512275]MAXTakki[/MENTION],

I did the same as you and it did not work also. I think it is because our SM-G7102 are in 4.3 JB and not KK 4.4. The CWM in your link is for 4.4. So I gather that we need to upgrade to 4.4 first and then flash the recovery.

problems :/

I rooted using this method and I got stuck in a boot loop. I flashed twrp recovery and I was able to boot. however:

1) my vibrating motor is not working anymore :P

2) I can't access recovery mode, I tried flashing cwm philz stock recovery still, it would say booting recovery for a minute then reboot into system.

I was running 4.3 stock jellybean

If I update to kitkat using odin (I am familiar with odin with my s3) , is there a possiblity that I will get stuck in a bootloop and won't be able to access recoverymode?

HI guys.. I have waited a while to post this question since I wanted to make sure it was not an isolated incident but it is not so I wanted to see if there were any ideas/suggestions out there. I am running Summitters 2.3 Test 2 with the Cingular 2.25 radio on a 8125. Here is the problem

I get good signal generally and compared to my previous phone (Razr) I have no complaints as far as signal strength most places I go to. The problem comes when I lose signal and then reconnect. Here is an example...

I am standing outside getting 5 bars. I move inside and lose signal. I step back outside but it takes 2-3 minutes to reconnect before I can make another call.

I tested this several (4 times) and it happened each time. I am in Washington DC so I should be getting good coverage with lots of towers and as I said I was getting 5 bars in the same spot earlier. Is this an issue with PDA phones, this phone, Cingular, the ROM , the radio stack, or just me being impatient?

Thanks!
