There are two ways if 1st doesn't work then only try the second one.

First Way-

Download SecGallery2014.apk http://www.mediafire.com/download/gcbsyacn2izujwa/SecGallery2014.apk

Put SecGallery2014.apk in system/priv-app

and set permissions rw-r-r--

Reboot.

Second Way-

Boot to CWM recovery.

Wipe Data/Factory Reset

Wipe Cache

Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache

Then reflash the rom.

Try Clearing Cache and data of ES File explorer and then try the first way again.

Custom Recovery

Hi guys,

I'm a new SM-G7102 (Grand 2) user, I'd like to ask some questions about custom recovery

I've tried CWM 5 on Galaxy Ace, but I want something new on my Grand 2, hehe

1. Whats the different betweein TWRP and CWM (PhilZ Touch) ? Which one preferred/stable/common (TWRP, CMW PhilZ, or original CWM) ??

2. Which one can do a back up via usb (not sdcard) ? because I only have 4gb of sd card :(

out of topic

3. I've already run out of internal storage (500mb remaining), so how to move app data (usually in android/obb eats some memory) to sd card ? does it need partition (ext3, ext4) ?? does link2sd work fine ? or Can u prefered another app/way to move/link app data ??

Sorry for noob questions, I'm afraid my phone got bricked because of carelessness (I got Grand 2 just 2 days ago :()

the easiest way will be that someone cretaes a patch file which wil update the firmware(~20-25mb) instead of downloading the whole rom..but developers themselves are busy,you can see the cm devs,working on 2 roms at a time...hence,for now,we should not be lazy and do flash the full rom.

Problem with first time rooting (not bricked i hope)

Hi everyone,

Alright so this is my first post here and i hope i have posted at the right place.

This is also unfortunately my first time at rooting, ROM etc...

So my problem is as follow:

I have a Samsung galaxy grand 2 but it is not an original and simply a fake/copycat Chinese one (but i didn't know that).

When I bought it there was a lot of malware and i tried to fix them, first at factory resetting my phone but the problem was still there as seems to be within my systems apps.

Then I tried to download different antivirus for android but soon after a lot of research i found out my solution would be to root my phone and get rid of the apps which are an issue myself.

So, I spent a lot of time looking at how to do this as it was my first time.

I found a video online and root my phone using a Chinese software called Shuame. The rooting worked well and i have managed to uninstall all the malware apps (from the software with my phone connected to my pc).

Then, when i unplugged the phone and check it, I found that it wasn't booting, well to be fair, i am not sure but here is what I can do:

- Switch on

- Go to recovery mode and factory mode (chinese signs)

- Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, update from adb, update from sdcard

- Go to the samsung logo and then the screen is black

- I can switch off using the power button (it does display the power off, reboot etc...)

But that is all, when i am after the samsung logo, i can see volume and wifi logos on top and i can also see the lock screen but when I unlock, nothing, black screen.

So I have already tried to wipe factory but nothing happens. I tried to use another sdcard and load a ROM found online but when i go to the apply update from sdcard menu, it is not the directory of my sdcard that I see

I didn't do any backup (i know very stupid) and i am not even sure how to actually load/install a ROM as i read about it but i am not 100% of how it works and most of it involve the ADB communicating but i can't put my phone back in usb debugging mode as i can't reach the setting anymore.

I am sorry for the long email but i just wanted to show I didn't come here straight away and try few things first then reach desperation point and come ask for help...

So here I am, I don't know or not sure what is the best thing to do now...please help :)

Thanks
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonkat:
i felt bad that you got a fake device...btw are the specs same as original grand 2 sm-g7102 (or other) model?

maybe if yes,then you can flash stock rom via odin for your country.

go to the dealer from whom you bought it and complain that it's a ****ing fake device.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalyotec:
Thanks Neonkat,

Flash stock rom via Odin for my country....hum...i am not sure what you mean by this but i will look it up

I forgot to mention I don't seem to be able to go in the download mode. After reading about Odin online, it seems to be a prerequisite am i right?
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonkat:
you can't go to odin mode..oops..then there are very less chances that you can fix it by yourself..and odin mode will also work only if your fake device is 100% same as an original device(which i think is not possible)...maybe you can ask the person/dealer from whom you bought it to replace the device..

i don't think there is any way you can flash official stock rom because it won't flash.(shows error)

sorry buddy,but there is very less chances for it to get fixed or else,you got a costly paper-weight.:(
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalyotec:
I don't know what I can do with ODIN as I don't understand what ODIN does...to be fair.

I can connect to my phone via USB and I can see the directory on my computer, is there any way i can put a compressed/zip file there and update from the recovery mode (normal recovery mode and not custom recovery)?

I can "apply update from sd card" from my recovery mode...it must be a way to go back to the way it was no?

Unfortunately I can't go back to any reseller as it is a second hand phone bought online. (yes no need to tell me it was not a good idea to buy it there :)

I don't seem to be able to use adb even if when i do i have this message:

Daemon not running. Starting it now on port 5037

Daemon started succesfully
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonkat:
please tell me about the device model(sm-g7102 or..)and also check if the specifications are same as the original model or not..

if they do match 100%,then you can flash custom roms to get things working and then maybe back to original stock rom.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalyotec:
Yes model is SM-G7102T (apparently a brasilian version...) but i don't know the specifications, which specifications you need to know?

I can't go in about phone anymore but i know i can check in the factory mode. I have there the android version (4.2.2 from memory) and the kernel version and other stuff that I don't remember like the board number or something like that...Is this what you need as specification?
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonkat:
i think that must be 4.4.2,kitkat(white icons on statusbar..)because grand 2 was never shipped with 4.2.2(which i think was ics..green battery icon bla bla).

from specs, i mean do you remember the amount of ram,what is the screen size,etc.

coming to main thing,you said odin mode is not working at all(vol. down+home+power then vol.up button) maybe it is not present as it is a chinese phone..hence that means you can't flash stock rom..you can try "twrp" recovery but i don't think you should try that because you are having atleast one thing working and that's recovery mode...

sorry friend,but my knowledge ends here..i can't help because there is no hope to fix it by yourself..maybe you can visit some shops(mobile phone) and ask them if they have a workaround for that.

i am here still thinking why aren't you taking any step,you must complain about the reseller on online governemental forums or universal forums which help those who are scammed,and ask the reseller for a refund...instead of crying about a fake device,it's better to take some steps,atleast try for it.
