OK, when u launch SuperSu apk, what does it say ?

Can u run

su -v

in terminal or adb shell ?
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] hahanhata123:
It say I need to update su binary, I press OK but it fail.

But now I've full root by edit default.prop . Thank you and hope you make CWM as soon as possible :)
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] StratOS_HTC:
OK, here is the deal.

About the binary (su) , it is installed throught the process (update), got to be inside in \system\xbin\.

Check it. If the Supersu apk ask for update binary it means it doesn't exist (You can check if the binary is there) or is misssymlinked or something. For couple users who post reply all things by update is fully working and they have full root like me.

If the binary exists or not you can copy it there. Make sure /system/ is rw :

You can do it throught emulator or adb shell :

mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system

So /system is now readwrite, copy the binary (su) from the zip manualy to the \system\xbin\ if it doesn't exist, but got to be there.

go to the \system\xbin\

run :

su --install

If all went ok, U should now have all working, make the /system default ro (readonly) or just shut down the phone, restart and check if the binary exist, run supersu.apk and check the status again ...

Looking forward to solve this thing ...

.. And about the CWM recovery, I can't compile it, It has to be done by CWM Recovery Devs/users I guess.

Looking forwarf for CWM Recovery too and nand backup, for now odin is our greatest tool.

..by altering default.prop, by flashing mine update.zip you just deset the ro.security, it doesn't mean that the phone is rooted ...
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] jbliz:
Yeah, I did this in another way. SuperSu work great and I can update su binaries then reinstall Kinguser. But a face a problem, no matter when I try to use GameCIH, it's say unable to get root access. But when checked SuperSu, GameCIH has allowed. That's wierd. :confused:

Can't someone try to build cwm ot twrp for this device please. How about this, http://builder.clockworkmod.com/ can it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] StratOS_HTC:
Thx for info.Will try cwm recovery when I get some free time today.

About: fulroot update zip is working for most user, for some users don't.

Just want to fix it in onee instalation. In the following procedure all thing are doing well for most users, accept no 10:

10. Update SuperSU if requested is not doing so well. Been fixing this in one installation. Will post final after feedback.

Currently working on the cwm recovery.

Fix the errors and update su apk for fullroot & su update :

After update run apk and update binary - normal way. Now it will work I guess. If not please check few posts (2) before how to fix binary error while updating and manualy extract the binary in rw /system/

Also the reference to sleep in /system/xbin has been changed to 5 secs.

Looking forward for more infos and how the update for fullroot and su update works.

The cwm builder link and other stuff are not working as they should, after updating image for recovery and uploading I get errors :

Recovery Builder

can anybody tell me how to install cwm on samsung galaxy core 2 sm-g335h!!
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] lennV:
Greetings StratOS_HTC!

Many thanks for all your efforts. I've been reading every post in this thread and am somewhat still confused about how to root my G355H. Several procedures have been given (e.g., original post, #43, #62). However, your post #110 says not full root . Is that for both kinguser and kingo? My understanding is that this post regarding updated zip script is your solution. But how exactly do I use it? Can you please provide the exact steps to do it? See for example: http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/development/apollo-nexus-v1-1-t2835838

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] StratOS_HTC:
Full root

There is still no way to install working CWM for GC2 phones.

Ok, here is the deal :

Kingo or kingoroot, kinguser are the same things from the same apk,update-zip.

If U check #74, this is almost fullroot, but wont't work on all GC2 devices, just like mine update fullroot zip.Why ?

The scripts are based on init.d, whitch is

not enabled

by default in our devices. You must enable it manualy- check XDA for it.

And the second thing is that su needs to create some more preinstalation and it needs a binary too in it's inviroment.

If u have init.d enabled and the script initialize su --install during the boot there is no problem for full root.

Check for my update-zip regarding fullroot. How to use it : Use it in device's original recovery.

Steps ?

Will post how to du it step by step later on ...

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] lennV:
Many thanks. Looking forward to the step by step.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] StratOS_HTC:
Full root presented as update script

Ok, here it is.

Made only for GC2 devices.

This script also enable init.d support on stock latest rom for kanas device ( script is modified by me for GC2 devices. Thx to shazzl & Ryuinferno @ XDA )

Script copy latest Superuser apk and binary.

The update script will full unroot stock based rom for GC2 devices only ! I'm not responsible for any kind of damages ...

How to ...

1. Shut down your phone until last vibe ... it's OFF !

2. Enter stock recovery - hold 3 buttons (Menu + Power + Vol up)

3. After init select "apply update from external storage", press power button to enter

4. Select the 'Su - full root.zip' update U are previously copied to extSdCard - and press power button ...

5. The script will run ...

6. If all goes ok, your phone should be rooted.

7. After boot android will upgrade - Superuser apk ask for update su binary.

8. No internet connection is neccessary for this step ... Select continue,normal way and wait for the success.

9.Install busybox to get init.d working

10. Hit thanks if it work 4 you

[UPDATE: Fullroot is working, but init.d not by this script...u should manualy exec /system/add_initd.sh (Didn't delete from the script) or install Uni-init+v1.0.apk

Looks good

Hi StratOS,

I followed your OP and it looks like I've got root. I'll just have to read your previous posts again to figure out how to confirm that I've got full root. I'm new to this so will have to do some homework. Thanks again for your efforts.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] revomalik:
I wonder it the root survival activated.. The SU access still remains when OTA updated
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] Skullpluggery:
I'll try to make a video for this after my exams so that i can help :)
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] StratOS_HTC:
OTA update & root

Well it depends on ota update.If the init.d still remain and update wont erase apk and binary or any other supported binaries (busybox...) there is no problem with further ota updates, but if update delete or change those setting you have to install/patch it again to get access.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] revomalik:
I've tried the ota update myself. It said that my system had been modified.. So i guess it's a no go. Have to manual update via kies or odin.. XD
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] StratOS_HTC:
Yes the phone update program check the modification of partitions if existed and modified you cannot apply ota update via wi-fi.

Install the latest ota patch manualy and check ih root still exist or whole rom via kies/odin and then re-apply the root procedure.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] novhexzhen:
Unroot

Hi there! i already root my GCore II duos,but i want to flash the stock firmware, do i need to unroot my device first before i flash the stock firmware?I will use ODIN and the stock ROM that have posted in Sammobile

Looking forward for your answers ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] StratOS_HTC:
If U flash stock rom, there is no need for unrooting first. SuperSu also include option "full unroot" without flashing.

If u ask me flash it again fully with odin and with the latest stock rom for your phone.

Heeey ! Help !!

SOME TIME SAY

" U DONT HAVE A ROOT ACCESS"

but i have the kinguser app and everything is ok.

so WHY IS THIS HAPPEN ????? :confused:

PLEEEEEEZ HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] StratOS_HTC:
Check out this whole thread and see why kingroot is no full root. Check the thread 137 and install the only 4 now working

foolroot without ota update rootable solution for now

.

Well this is realy the hardest because the LocalFota update check some flags and statuses and other things, not just counters and binary/rom status like in other Samsung phones (Triangle away and clear cache helps with this) but in our case Samsung made their own lock and apk for this (Server and local) . Have tried check this one but after checking local/remote log I decided to stop it.

There is no way for now we can define the true cause of the failed OTA update and the cause of it.

Have deleted some files in /data/data and /cache/ for Fota apks to reinit the procedure but now the whole update doesn't work anymore ..

...After reboot the android updated .... OTA Updates app is working again ... with same errors as in the screen u posted.

But weird .. after clearing the directories in /data/ /cache/ and /dalvik/ I found interesting log created newly fotaclient0.log for /fotaclient/app_log :

10-18 21:29:12.906 [I] [FotaInitUpdateService.java(Line:92/Method:handleMessage)] Update State: Check condition to decide next state
10-18 21:29:12.911 [I] [FotaInitUpdateService.java(Line:97/Method:handleMessage)] Update State: Initialize pull update
10-18 21:29:12.920 [I] [FotaInitUpdateService.java(Line:200/Method:requestPull)] request Pull
10-18 21:29:12.923 [D] [FotaInitUpdateService.java(Line:201/Method:requestPull)] init Type: 1
10-18 21:29:12.929 [I] [FotaInitUpdateService.java(Line:125/Method:handleMessage)] Update State: Finish update init

In previous step/s the second line after "Check condition to decide next state" failed, but now looks like it's ready, but after I still get this annoying box as described before, guess it's not all written in the logs .... he he ... Nice job Samsung ... at least some kind of server/local side debugging ....

Must say, that the other logs I tried with different approaches ... there arte some kind or encrypted communication between local&server side - just from the logs or encoded/decoded on each side.

If any1 wants to have a lot of phun go ahead ...

Added : decompiled apk .... have fun ....
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] novhexzhen:
Man for what is the purpose of the APK that have you posted?
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] StratOS_HTC:
It's the local apk for the check for the OTA updates,and the zip contains the decompiled apk.

I mistakenly reset to default my core 2 after rooting it and uninstalled some default apps. Now the phone is stucked when starting. Anybody could help me to inform how to resolve it?
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] StratOS_HTC:
First of all this is not the thread for it, but will need more feedback - stucked ?

And if u uninstaled some needed system programs, you will have to install it back or use your latest backup.

If U don't have it you'll have to flash the whole thing again, but if u allready used option to reset back to default settings without success you will have to flash it back.

Do you remember what have U uninstalled / deleted ?
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] novhexzhen:

Question!

I'm getting this phone tomorrow waiting for the shipping , first thing I'll be doing is rooting , I've been searching around for a while already and , from my previous experience, Kinguser is a no-go for me , if anyone tried this before please tell me if it works, but my plan is the following :

1- go to CWM Builder page

2-build custom recovery for our device , since it's not officially supported yet

3-Flash CWM via Odin

4-Flash supersu zip from CWM

If anyone already tried this please let me know , or if anyone has a working CWM recovery for our device , That would help as well.

,, one last question , if anyone managed to get root , with SuperSU , Please inform us about the steps as well

Good Luck all :)

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

Q1 : superuser mean SuperSU or Superuser ? , if I use your way , can I switch Superuser to SuperSU later ?

Q2: ok can you please explain this a little more ? does it matter if I don't do the part for enabling init.d ? is it recommended ?

(note : I don't even have the phone yet but rooting it would be first thing I'm doing.)

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] StratOS_HTC:
SuperSU

Have tried it, and post the resoults, guess the page and the builder arent working atm, there are cca 6k+ recoveries to be done ...

Thera are posts in this thread for recovery and builder. The thread for recovery is here

A1: SuperSU is the apk :)

A2: Init.d is not needed, because the apk is started by init recovery or by enabled init.d (You'll need busybox installed because of the run-parts :) )

As told this zip file is decomiled application.You can check what it does if u know Java.

There is not much you can do with the zip, accept check what's going on when u try to upgrade the OTA way.

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

Been messing with it, have manage to change the permissions for it in xml's but since kernel "doesn't allow it" the modules won't run.

Guess we'll have to recompile the kernel or mod it for OPG to work. But be also carefull some Samsung users told that their device have to have special OTG cable just because of the external power to work, but still can't determine if the thing will work on our phone. Waiting for the cable or will made it myself.

Nice question btw !

Do not unistall system apps ! And specity whitch system app have you uninstalled.Since I used localized non english settings the files are in /system/priv-app and they are : SecVideo.apk and SecVideoPlayer.apk. My apps are deodexed, so I don't have *.odex, hope that Framework hasn't changed. Put the apk's in /system/priv-app/ with chmod 644 for both. If u were unable to boot, but you can enter recovery mode, could write you a script for it to put is in the desired folder with current permissions. but if the ADB workin g you can manually push the files to the dest dir and change the permissions.

The files are in attachement.

Backup

It's CWM based recovery, so u need CWM recovery to backup. But guess It could be done with odin or a little playing with update script.

Also I could make a bash for conversion for update script for our recovery.

U can check it and post reply or post ameer a mail for your device partition if not allready included (G355HN is).

no you have to install cwm separately (Q:do you even know what cwm is?)

a rom comes with its own kernal, it could be stock or modded one, depending on the rom you are installing

I guess you are a newbie in rooting town

And here i am your friendly neighborhood spider - man

You need to install cwm recovery on the device which will let you download or flash Roms easily

The best recovery for canvas 4 is

The one built by master awesome

You would find the method of flashing it in the post itself

Now once you have flashed cwm recovery all you need is a good rom

I would suggest you to wait until nero d launches his upcoming color os 2 Rom which is going to be awesome

Now you have your powers and tools as well but what is the best way of flashing once you boot up in cwm

By holding the power and both volume keys while phone is switched off, then select recovery mode

Easy

1. Always backup your stock rom by cwm

2.wipe data / factory reset

3. Wipe cache partition

4. In mounts and storage select format system

5.install rom/ zip via sd card

6. Reboot and enjoy
