[Miscellaneous Android Development] lowan64:
Hi, first of all this is my first contribution to the forum. I've been using the resources until now but i wanted to contribute with something. This is not my development, and only gathered the information and put it here, so thanks to all the guys who help me in the first place.

I bought the Homesync waiting more from the device, and i now the device has so much potential but has been wasted for samgsung, they havent give a real update to the device and they left it at Android 4.2.2, with little support to apps in the store, with no suppor for multiwindow, and other things they could make for this device to success. Well, what we can do i to root it so we can gain access to other apps, and apps from independent markets or developers.

Requeriments:

1) Set your devide to a MJ3 ROM, either updating it or downgrading it from a stock ROM. You can get it from sammobile here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=24442. I had to use Odin to downgrade to Stock Rom MJ3. If you dont know how to use Odin, in the same link you can read how to do it. Why MJ3? Because that ROM is working with root process im doing here.

2) After with the MJ3 ROM up and running. From your PC, do the following: download the superuser folder from the attachment below.

3) This part is thanks to the user K1MU, you can see his work here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 ,before you try using this rooting program, you'll need to have the USB drivers installed for the homesync. Download here if you cant see your homesync when connected to the microUSB port.

4) The next thing you must do is to enable USB debugging on your phone. Go to "Settings", "More...", then "Developer Options".

If "Developer Options" doesn't appear, then you'll need to enable it - go to "Settings", "More", "About Phone". Scroll down so the "Build Number" is visible, then tap on that several times until developer mode is enabled. In Developer Options, make sure "USB Debugging" is checkmarked.

5) Make sure that your computer is allowed to use USB debugging on your homesync. To do this, unplug your phone and unlock it. Then, plug in the USB cable. If you see an "Alllow USB debugging?" window pop up, tap on the "Always allow from this computer" to check it, then tap OK. If you don't see that popup, it's OK, you should be OK to proceed. This is going to appear in the Homesync.

6) Then you need to unpack the attached ZIP file somewhere onto your PC. You should have the following when done:

- a file called "install.bat"

- a file called "install.sh"

- a folder called "files"

7) Double click on the "install.bat" to run the root. It will root and reboot your phone. Once that's done, you're rooted!

The first thing that the install script will ask you is whether or not to install Busybox. Busybox is a program that provides a fairly extensive set of Linux shell utilities that a Unix user would expect to see. If you're not going to be using the shell (terminal emulator or adb shell) then you may not want to install Busybox. You may, however, find that some root-required utilities assume that Busybox is installed. If SuperSU asks you to update the su binary, choose the "Normal" method. If SuperSU asks you about disabling Knox, allow it. This exploit will NOT set the Knox Warranty Void flag. It will set the "Custom" flag, but that's nothing to worry about. While you're running this, you'll need to keep the phone awake and watch both the computer running the rooting script and your phone. You shouldn't unplug the phone unless you're prompted by the rooting script. Leave it connected until it's done.

8) In this point you will be rooted and ready to boom your Homesync.

I think i will be expanding this post, but for now this is it. Everything works fine with the phone using the homesync app.
