[Root] Samsung galaxy beam I8530

Hey guys im gunna try to keep it short. happen to be browsing thru android Q&A and saw a thread of people trying to get root on a phone so i figured id help em out
luckily sammobile had the stock tar up for it so it was just a matter of grabbing that, unpacking the initramfs. then grabbing kernel source and compiling a rooting kernel.
Kernel
Odin
Drivers
Credits:
Sammobile for having the tar
hallihallo87 for testing my kernel
Like my work? you could always help pay for my daughters college ​

Instructions​
Download the 3 files above
extract odin-1.85.zip
install the drivers
click on pda and select the rooted kernel tar
put your phone into download mode
Download mode is power + volume down + home
once you are in download mode connect via usb
you should see a yellow com pop up in the far left box
click start
congrats
sorry for the vague instructions guys they will improve as time goes on as people who actually have the phone chip in

Works great. Thanks!

Downloadmode is power + volume down + home
Sent from my Sensational phone

Looks great! I'm about to try.Thanks

Works great on my beam. Thanks a lot!!

Rooting successful!
Rooting via Odin with this kernel really ROOT my Galaxy Beam i8530. Kudos to ShabbyPenguin! :good:

Has anyone tried the SIXAXIS tool for PS3 Controllers? it doesn't seem work for me unfortunately.
I've read that the rom probably doesn't have all required bluetooth protocols in order to make it work and that a custom rom like Cyanogen will be required.
Would it be possible to take the Bluetooth Stack from a Cyanogen mod and put it in the Galaxy Beam ROM? Maybe from the Samsung Galaxy S2 Cyanogen Mod as the phone is mostly the same minus the projector.
I doubt there will ever be a Cyanogen Mod project for the Galaxy Beam unfortunately.

glad everyone is having good success with this

We will need to port ClockwordMod, so the cfw will be easier, but i don´t know how to make a dump. I only have a dump from Odin Mobile.
We need to look at "Samsung I9070 Galaxy S Advance" as it is the same phone (without projector) all the specs is the same, not Galaxy S II.
But i can see if i can get it to work tomorrow. I have a Ps3 (3.55 CFW)

I had a look at the Galaxy S Advance and there are no Ice Cream Sandwich releases for it.
I'm also still looking for a way to add usb host mode.

@shabbypenguin Kudos to you !! , you've done awesome. the root is working fine and only thing all us can hope is CWM recovery if you could help us in that it would be amazing, though i am willing to help in development (like beta testing / dumps). hopefully we shall have CWM soon and make use of this awesome phone.
regards,
richie

hope soon have custom roms for this projector phone

hi there,
successfully rooted my beam but ever since the focus for the projector doesn't work anymore.
anyone else with this problem or my phone have a hardware problem ?
how can I go back to official kernel please ?
thanks

update:
I installed the latest firmware LH3 from samfirmware.
the focus still didn't work after that so I shook the phone a little bit and it came back to life so I guess it wasn't a software problem.
I'll keep you informed if further development arouse

TWRP?
So.... the guys over at a thread for hacking the i9070 (galaxy s advance):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640757
were successfull at embedding TWRP (recovery) into their kernel. Since this phone is very similar to the i8530, i was wondering how risky it would be to flash that kernel on the i8530. If anybody has any knowlege about this, please enlighten me so that I can have a better understanding about the risk i would be taking if i flash my i8530 with the hacked kernel for the i9070. (e.g.. will the difference in screen technology cause any problems? i8530=tft, i9070=super amoled.

I8530XXLH3 Root ?
hey shabby ,
+1 on the request to root I8530XXLH3, i am waiting to flash that build , but hesitant to do so untill root is there......
P.S. : are you familiar with recovery too ? cause we really need custom recovery and at the moment you are the only dev we can look up-to
best regards,
richie

i cant promise anything with cwm, but i suppose i can try but ill need testers. as for rooting new firmwares this kernel should work on all versions of GB, until samsung updates kernel source i cant build a newer kernel.
since i dotn have the phone im not going to bother checking on the device files everyday so if someone could PM when new kernel source comes out ill update my kernel

i have read in the forum somewhere that i9070 guys have successfully integrated TWRP (Team Win recovery project ) recovery in their phones, so probably we can have that one because apart from screen and projector all is same, is it worth the mention ?
http://teamwin.in
regards,
richie

here is a test cwm build i made, please lemme know how/if it works.
if it boots into cwm then dont flash anything, do a backup and let me know the sizes etc of the backup files. would hate for you to brick your phone cuz you wanted to restore a backup etc
www.shabbypenguin.com/OUDstuff/Samsung/Random/Beam/Beam-I8530-Test-CWM.tar
as far as future firmwares are concerned, so long as its GB this rooted kernel should work. when you get an update to ICS i will absolutly have to make a new one for yall. but i cant do so until http://awesomescreenshot.com/0dch109f6 gets updated :/

Hi
Just borrow the firmware for the TAC-90011 its currently on 4.1.1
the hardware is the same besides the screen, I renamed the image file for the TAC-90011 to DENVER TAC-70031.img just for good measure and if flashed perfectly!!
Now my 70031 is smooth as "butter" for a (100$ pad at least) but it is a great upgrade and I haven't seen any problems yet

Thank you

Hello there,
i modified the recovery image so that those partitions can now be mounted. It still needs some tweaking though. Let me know if you need it and I'll post a link to the image.

galaxy s3 rom porting

I ported cm11 4.4.2 ROM into 210k.everything works fine without data.when I change the libsec-ril.so start to work data.but can't send SMS.without change libsec-ril. So SMS work.but no data.I really appreciate if anybody can help me with this.
Thank you

comeon guys.nobody has a solution?

I know I don't have the knowledge to help you, but maybe providing more information might bring more people who can. A more detailed explanation of what you did, and how you did it can help people track what went wrong. for instance, what "change" did you make to the .so files?

solved
Incase you find yourself in my situation or similar, I simply flashed a new Recovery (PhilzTouch) and a new Kernel (blackhawk's NEXT) then downloaded sTweaks to enable the xbox controller and found many other settings too.. My USB modem dongle now also works via PPP widget.. Makesure you read well before flashing anything... I didn't have any problem... I can now even charge with non proprietary charger.. You can use Mobile Odin Pro from playstore to flash, makes it easier...

can you give me the link of Stweaks pls

[Request][Port] PhilZ Touch 6.58.7 (CWM 6.0.5.1)

As the title says, i want to request Phillz Touch CWM for Samsung Galaxy SII Plus (i9105/p).
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39433612 )
I saw that someone made a port for SII (i9100/p), but never made one for i9105. Those devices are very similar and i think its easy to make a port.
*I have a stock recovery for i9105p if needed (Android 4.2.2).
**I am willing to help with what i can.
P.S : Sorry for my bad English.

Why you can't just use CWM or TWRP (with F2FS support)?

TWRP is stable and has nice UI with full F2FS support.
