The problem is that, i cant root it, my phone can't read sd card anymore, so I'm trying to root my device with odin, if I can at least change my recovery mode and read internal storage it would be great...

Root with odin , no sd card

HERE : i think this will help you out , but be patience and use common sense when rooting also I AM JUST HERE TO HELP , so DO NOT BLAME ME IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE , BUT I CAN SAY THAT IF YOU FOLLOW STEPS YOU WON`T HAVE ANY TROUBLE,
DO DOWNLOAD ESSENTIALS BEFORE FOLLOWING STEPS, FIRTS READ ALL THEN MAKE YOU MIND HOW TO DO IT :
1: ORIGINAL FIRMWARE FROM HERE you will need it to extract original kernel after rooting, or if something goes wrong when rooting
2: SAMSUNG USB DRIVER FOR WIN/MAC.
Make sure that you have backup the data, apps and settings from your Samsung device such as SMS, MMS, Call Logs, Contacts, Images, Audios, Videos, Bookmarks, Wi-Fi, APN settings and MMS settings etc as this process is going to wipe every data from your device.
3. Check of security suites such as antivirus and firewall whether they are disabled on your Computer.
4. You need to turn on the Enable USB Debugging on your Samsung Galaxy S i9070. This can be done simply by following the path ‘Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging’ and ticking the USB Debugging option box.
5. Please put your battery in charge and make sure that it was charged to at least 80%.
Advice: Before going to start the root process you must go to phone settings->click about phone and look for basedband version number. Note down that number in notepad and save it on the desktop.
Steps and Procedure for Rooting Samsung Galaxy S Advance I9070:
1. Download working ODIN FROM HERE AND Working root package only I9070 from attachement to PC.
2. Once you have downloaded the file, then you need to extract the zip file in the PC.
3. After extraction is done.
4. Launch the Odin application in the computer.
5. Turn off the device in order to enter into download mode. For that do like this press and hold the Volume Down + Home buttons together and Power On the device simultaneously. After 1 min you will get a download mode with green android robot image.
6. Connect your device to the Computer via USB data cable while Odin is open. Once your device get connected, ID:COM section turns yellow in colour. If it doesn’t than you need to reconnect your device.
7. In Odin tool you need to two select two files into their respective fields.
NOW YOU WIL ALSO BE NEEDING A PIT FILE , i have attached both version 8gb and 16 gb PIT FILE choose from there if 8gb then 8gb and vice-versa
8.Click PIT tab and then select the GT-I9070_EUR_XX_8G/16GB.pit file from the extracted folder.
Once you selected the file left side Re-partition filed will be tick marked automatically. So you need to uncheck it manually. For more idea see the below picture.
b) Click PDA section and then select the rootkernel.tar.md5.
c) You need to uncheck all other option except ‘Auto Reboot’ and ‘F Reset Time’.
Click on ‘Start’ button and wait for the process to get completed. The Samsung Galaxy S device will reboot automatically.
9. Now you must try to install Superuser and Busybox from Google Play Store . Once you installed both apps then your device will be rooted successfully. check using root checker app.
Time to switch back to stock original kernel basedband firmware version number. Because above we used kernel for rooting the device have some problems like sudden reboots and lags. So that you need to install exact kernel to the device again. BUT IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO ALL THAT , JUST INSTALL ANY CUSTOM ROM / CM11 /cm10 etc ,which has tuned own kernel you will not be needing any of this in the follwoing steps.
HERE READ THIS XDA FORUM TO EXTRACT YOUR ORIGINAL FIRMWARE KERNEL
AFTER THAT AGAIN FOLLOW STEPS
1. Run the Odin application again in the PC.
2.Turn off the device and Boot into Download mode. For that press and hold the Volume Down + Home buttons together and Power On the device.
3. Connect the device to PC via USB cable.
4. Click on PDA tab and select the file which you downloaded recently. I selected (YOURKERNEL).tar.md5 .
5. Click on Start and the process will be completed. The device will be reboot automatically.
That’s it your device is rooted perfectly without any problems. In case if you find any issues with above procedure comment here:good:
good luck

couldn't find PDA on Odin3 v3.10, i installed with Odin3 v1.87 and i got bootloop after step 8c

@knurd : in latest version PA is same as PDA , AND DID ODIN SHOWED SUCCESS after finishing installation of root kernel ?
if you getting boot loop just go to recovery ,clear/delete cache and reboot 99 out of 100 times it solves bootloop.

Pls help me n pls provide me step by step instructions as am an begginer n wanna root my handset .. pls help me out guys
Thanks.
afaik there's no rooted kernel for this rom.
you can try that, anyway.
1 - google for "odin" and download it on your pc. or take this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464775
2 - similarly, install samsung kies (so you have samsung drivers)
3 - download semaphore_2.7.4_sc.tar kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
4 - download original kernel from ramad's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
4 - turn off your phone, that press power+volume_down+home until you enter download mode (yellow pic on screen)
5 - run odin.exe (as administrator in win7). make sure kies is not running on your pc before running odin.
6 - connect your phone to pc via usb
7 - in odin select as "pda" the semaphore kernel. leave all options as defaults. execute it. this is done in a few seconds. this way you are rooting you phone (aka adding busybox) and installing superuser.apk
8 - unplug usb.
9 - let the phone reboot. then turn it off back again, and get once again in download mode (power+volume_down+home).
10 - run odin.exe (as administrator in win7)
11- connect phone to pc via usb
12 - in odin select ramad's jvb kernel as "pda". execute.
13 - start phone, to be sure reinstall superuser from google play
14 - you're done, now you are rooted with original jvb kernel.
I do not know if this is a robust procedure, but it worked for my italian jw7 rom, hope it is ok for you too.
after gaining root privileges, you can remove semaphore.apk from /system/app with root explorer (download from google play)
Do u think it ll work

since your phone is not rooted you have to use odin anyway.
"superoneclick" methods do not work with sgs1.
hence, you have to flash a pre-rooted kernel to gain root permissions.
after that you can flash the original kernel thus restoring the original state of the phone, apart from rooting it. you don't lose any data or setting, by the way.
since it looks like you're a cautious guy, I suggest you to study a little bit more thru the forum to understand how flashing kernels with odin works.
you can start by downloading odin, kies, and both kernels, and the whole original rom (you can find that in ramad's thread as well). Ramad's thread explains exactly how to flash with odin, btw.
I'm glad to help, but I'm not taking any responsibility on your behalf. do it at your own risk.
thanks broo ..

hey i followed d way u said n it worked smoothly .. thanks a loy bro .. and now u can u tell me how to go for a custom rom and upgrade my handset to ICS is it possible or do i need to make any more chnges to my handset .. lemme no asap .. thans in advance ..
I thought you wanted to root the phone for basic mods and removing samsung bloatware, not for flashing a custom rom. That's another matter.
if you want to flash a custom rom you need cwm recovery. this is a tool you get in "recovery mode", turn phone off and then power+volume_up+home to get there. some gingerbread custom roms can be flashed with odin, but as far as I know, you can't for ics or jb.
stock recovery won't let you flash any rom.
you do not have cwm recovery on your stock kernel.
to root any custom rom, you have to flash semaphore back again, and stick with that. with semaphore you have cwm recovery, so choose the rom you want to install and follow its thread instructions.
BUT: I've tried LOADS of custom roms, and never been fully satisfied with anyone of them. reboots, phone turns off by itself, limited functionalities, small bugs...
always reverted back to (rooted) stock. I'm never ever going to flash any rom but a stock one anymore. Of course you'll find different opinions on that on xda, this is just my 2 cents.
Lastest stock roms (2.3.6) are fast, smooth and completely bugfree.
Thanks in advance
hey thnks in advance but one of my frns has rooted to ics n he is telling tat phone works smoothly only for video recording and another one app .. rest works fine for him

search threads for himem kernels. you'll find many of them. you'll probably get another 20 or 30mb. but I'm not going to suggest something I've never tried. current ram to me is more than enough.
regarding ics being faster and smoother, that's a matter of debate. my opinion is that the fastest rom around is cm7.2 (gingerbread), much faster than any ics rom. much more. At least among those I've tried.
the whole point about custom aosp roms is that samsung never released source code on some drivers, hence the little bugs here and there in cm7/9, ics, jb, and so on. that's why stock roms are superior, imho.
if you really want ics, move to sgsII or sgsIII

Thanks a ton...going ahead...will let you know in sometime...
just to add to the earlier post, just in case you have never entered download mode before
For i9000 :- you hold the Volume Down + Home + Power
Note:
When using Odin to Flash, Open task manager and close these : Kies.exe , KiesTrayAgent.exe, and KiesPDLR.exe

Things to note when rooting.
Your phone warranty will be voided meaning samsung won't held responsible for your rooted phone if you decide to send your phone to them if there is any hardware problem.
If you still want to root it, here goes:
1. Download the stock firmware of your phone on sammobile (depends on your country and service provider)
2. Put your phone into download mode (off and on your phone. When it goes to Samsung title screen, press home, off and volume down button at the same time.)
3. Connect your pc to your phone and open odin.
4. Check and see if the message shows pass.
5. Under bootloader, open the md5 file that you downloaded before.
6. Start and wait till it finish.
7. Check your phone and reconfigure as if you have a new phone.
EDIT: This will reformat your phone to the stock rom that Samsung has.
If you want to use custom rom, there are a lot of roms that can be found here:

3. Connect your pc to your phone and open odin.
4. Check and see if the message shows pass.
5. Under bootloader, open the md5 file that you downloaded before.
6. Start and wait till it finish.
7. Check your phone and reconfigure as if you have a new phone.
EDIT: This will reformat your phone to the stock rom that Samsung has.
If you want to use custom rom, there are a lot of roms that can be found here:

Sorry but this is not the way to root a i9305 dude, your just telling him to install a stock rom that he already has. he needs to root it.
Noob friendly explanation for rooting i9305 with CF auto root
warranty will be void hereby. steps to root the phone in this order:
* download Odin3 v3.09 here, right click and ''open as administrator'' on your pc
* download CF auto root for i9305 here and unzip it to get the CF auto root .tar md5 file
* in Odin, in the option section you should check the boxes of auto reboot / F. reset time and uncheck re-partition!!
* enable usb debugging in your device in developer options, if you dont see developer options, go to ''about phone'' and tap the buildnumber 7 times and developer options should be visible now (this part is not strictly necessary, just in case if your device is not recognized by pc or odin)
* turn off device now, and put it in odin downloadmode by pressing and holding VOLUME DOWN - HOME - POWER buttons at the same time till you see the ''samsung galaxy sIII GT-i9305'' text, then you let go the buttons and it will boot into downloadmode
* in odin, click AP button and select the CF auto root .tar md5 file that you have extracted earlier
* now connect your i9305 to pc with usb cable (in odin under message box, it should say added!)
* now your ready to hit START button, after finished your device will reboot and will be rooted There is a chance that after reboot some message like ''supersu has stopped'' will popup, DONT worry read further...
after you have rooted the device, there will be a app called ''SuperSU''. but its a older version of the app and its ''SU binary'' needs to be updated. go to playstore and under my apps search for supersu, it should state that it needs to be updated, do that and restart your phone
configure the settings of supersu after the reboot as you like.
for deleting or freezing some apps, download Titanium Backup app (pro version recommended for optimal usage) from playstore. open it and supersu will ask you for permission, grand it and your ready to delete or to freeze apps.
Thats all
You can root with:
POOT: This app is a one click root app. No computer needed

AT&T SM-G730A ROM issues? Please Help!

I'm a newbie with the rooting and custom rom installation, I've actually never done one before attempting in on my phone a SM-G730A mini S3, I have searched online and was unable to find the factory rom for this device or instructions how to install.
I was able to root my phone using king root, Then I started removing all the factory programs that ill never used. It was great until a few days ago I removed 2 programs that affected my phone operates. It now gets stuck on the at&t screen when powering on, but the funny thing is that if someone calls me, the screen pops up for me to answer.
Issues with my phone: gets stuck on at&t screen, no home screen at all, only way to access apps is through S voice.
I first started looking into the custom rom because I wanted wi-fi calling since the phone signal is low on this phone. I appreciate any help on this. Thanks

I think you should reflash your current firmware version via Odin3. You can get stock ROMs from sammobile.com/firmware. You will lose your root access and you will get these system apps back what you deleted before.
I download it to my SD card and then what? excuse my newbie questions
those stock roms from sammobile youll need to flash via odin / heimdall

Firmwares from SamMobile are only flashable via Odin3 on your PC/Laptop. Move your downloaded firmware to your PC/Laptop and unzip it. Move the ...HOME.tar.md5 file to your desktop.
1. Now download Odin3 and install the drivers for your phone.
2. Open Odin3 as Admin to avoid errors or "Fail" messages while flash. (If you use Windows XP then open Odin like always) and make sure only "Auto reboot" and "F.reset" are checked.
4. Close all Samsung Kies process in task manager to avoid errors. (ignore this if you don't have Kies installed)
5. Tap on PDA/AP and choose the ...HOME.tar.md5 file (wait until Odin finish check the MD5 check sum)
6. Now on your phone. Turn off your device. Then hold volume down + home button + power button till you see a "Warning!!" screen and continue with volume up.
7. Connect your device to your PC/Laptop via USB.
8. Wait until Odin detect your device. (You will see a blue box) If your PC/Laptop install the drivers again then wait a moment.
9. If everything is OK then you can start flashing. (A flash process take up to 10 Min, so be patient)
10. Now your phone should reboot and you're done.
Don't forget you will lose ROOT access and you will get your system apps back what you deleted before.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

You probably uninstalled touchwiz. You can try installing a theme from the app store that might work.
Newbie Help
I am getting ready to do a first attempt at rooting on a Samsung S3 mini, G730A. I don't know how to get the Samsung USB driver onto the desktop because I'm not sure where it's actually located. I downloaded the Samsung Driver Zip and it's loaded on my C: drive but didn't find anything is there that seemed specific to that phone. I did locate what appears to be the generic Android device USB driver for this phone through Device Manager and put that on the desktop but not sure that is the one that I'll need when I go root. Any suggestions?
Thanks

As you already hardbricked your phone, you should try below process once. Even it worked for me. (It wasn't at&t)
(Do at your own risk)
Make sure that the Samsung USB Drivers are installed on your computer.
Download Samsung USB Drivers for your PC from below link.

(Just delete spaces)
1.Now, go to SamMobile’s website from below link.
http:// www .sam mobile.com/firmwares/
(Delete spaces)
2.Create an account.
3.Then you need to use the ‘Search’ box and type in your Galaxy S5 model number.– the model number is listed under Settings > More > About Device > Build Number.– enter the correct build number.
4.Download one of the stock Android firmware files that matches your Galaxy S5 model.
5.Extract the contents of the zip file and save the files on your PC.– there should a .tar.md5 file, don’t extract any further than that.
6.Next, download Odin 3.09 from below link.
http:// android host.org/get/PVAIv
(Delete Space)
7.Extract ODIN zip contents and save the file on your PC.
8.Make sure that the phone is switched off.– remove its battery and then re-insert it after ten seconds.
9.Boot the Galaxy S5 in Download Mode.

10.Launch ODIN executable on your PC.

I get past the part where it writes to the sd card but when it comes to the fdisk part im confused on which trigger to use cause the -1 does nothing on macosx. If anybody has had any luck trying this could they please help.

An update if anyone is wondering. I have got it to boot from sd and have flashed 2 different stock files and the only way to boot is to have the sd card in. Still trying to find out how to boot without....
If you can get it to boot just use the downgrade to nce Odin file and start over

What happens if you put it in download mode, then pull the SD card. If you can do that then try the NCE firmware if it'll let you and see what happens. It's worth a try

root A9 A9000ZHU1BQE1 hong kong with TWRP and supersu

hello
i search whole xda and many chinese site for rooting A9 A9000ZHU1BQE1 but there is nothing. becuase this model just release in afew country and no body work on it worldwide
but i finally find a way for rooting. (after searching alot chinese!! site)
first of all cf auto root doesnt work on this firmware.dont work on it, i see some site root with cf auto root on A9000ZCUxxxxx model but not work on A9000ZHUxxxxx (ZHU is hong kong firmwire and ZCU is open china firmwire)
IMPORTANT:
you should do several work before start the rooting.dont worry its easy
1. enable usb debugging (its easy search in google)
2. enable OEM unlock (its easy too.search in google)
3. install CROM service.apk . its for unlocking bootloader. (i install this from galaxy app in phone,just like other app.then go to CROM and unlock bootloader automaticly.its samsung company app and safe.)
you need just 3 thing (i attach them to post)
1. twrp for A9000 (15mb)
2. supersu( i use 2.82 version. put supersu file in phone memory or memory card )
3. odin soft (recommended version 3.10.6)(its a soft for pc,sry i said all things that amator members dont confuse )
after doing important thing that i said above ....
HERE IS METHOD
1:
go your phone to downloading mode. (just turn off phone and then press volume down + home + power button. if you couldnt search in google.its easy
2:
A: open odin in pc with administrator. (right click on odin and click on RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR)
B: connect phone to pc ,when you connect phone odin said "added" with blue color
now click on AP in odin and select TWRP file i attach to post.dont change other option in odin.)
c: now click on start in odin.(if odin freeze and said "not responding" dont worry just wait a few minute and dont close odin!!!)
d: after odin finish its job. odin said "pass" with green color .now phone restarting automaticly)
3:
now you should go to twrp recovery.( after phone come up,again turn off phone.and go to "recovery mode" .just turn off phone and press volume up + home + power button). if the language is chinese,change it to english(easy just press right button in first screen of twrp.or search in google).now you should install supersu with twrp .for that press install on twrp and find supersu file you put in phone memory ... .after installing press reboot.(dont need wipe cache) .
4:
after phone come up android, check supersu icon must come to your phone app.if it doesnt appear ,install it from google play .and then install "root checker" app in your phone from google play, and check for root.
finish. its done. your phone root. the whole method take 1 5 minutes
if other firmwire of A9 A9000 ,for example A9000ZCUxxxxx do this method with twrp file that i attach .if its work or not plz say in post that other one know.
Hello Sir, I think I have the same Tablet, Baiduzhe A9000, with MT6797 Android 8.0. The recovery is not working, and the manufacturer is not providing the ROM file. Will this above method work for me? Please help me
I just confirmed that my device is the same MT 6582. Sir, kindly tell me how to flash or root. My device is corrupted.
Rooting made easy
Download Kingo root app, no need to use PC, it worked on my similar tablet (tab910, mediatek, mt6797)
Google kingoapp
Now I just need to find the ROMs (android versions higher than 4.4 which is compatible with my device)
P.s. if it doesn't work, try installing the PC version & follow steps from the website
