This is the new value pack, i.e new official firmware.
It contains the Al Jazeera widget you were talking about. In addition, it has apps like tquran and prayertimes. It has a new lockscreen and callscreen.
It's perfectly safe to flash it. I got first hand experience.
Just flash it.

I think you need to use Root Explorer and paste those files somewhere. Don't know for sure. Sorry.

that to XXKPU
( FYI: didn't work in this either in my previous attempts)
6. rooted
7. copy the .apk and the ODEX file to /system/app using root explorer

9. restart (no luck) then DE-ODEXed (still no luck)

I can't root my Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos B5512... Can anybody help me?
yup, tell me wat problem you are facing..
i got the same device
The truth is that I am a newby... I have only read about routing and custom roms. But I can't even start trying to root my device because I can't enter recovery mode... When I press Vol Up + Home + Power Button it takes snapshots of my screen... I have read other forums about our device but I found nothing else...
Sent from my GT-B5512 using xda app-developers app
turn your cell phone off completely and then do that way
That works!
What shall I do next?
Is this (http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-y-pro-duos-gt-b5512-root-65406/) the right way?
It's the easiest I have found...
How can I make a backup of my current version?
And how can I recover to factory conditions?

yes, you should start by rooting the cellphone. (but are you sure what rooting does and why to use it?)
hmm, your link is not what i had use, but if you are okay with it then go ahead.
about backup, find for CWM.zip, its a clockworkmod recovery skin. and you will find instructions in it. then you can backup/restore everything.
i suggest moving your backed up data to computer. then you can use ODIN too if you need...
Can you describe me what way you used, or send me a link?
Is there any way I can go back to factory conditions and how can I unroot my phone again?

Mr
Hi, I rooted and unrooted my Samsung GT 5512. I cant enter recovery mode. I used volume up+home button+power but it just wounld not enter recovery mode. Pls help me. I want to root it again
Before flashing Cyanogenmod I really need to install ClockWorkMod? Because when I press power + volume some kind of pre-installed CWM appears and do have all the function I need (wipe/factory reset, select update from sd card etc) Can't I Install Cyanogenmod from there?
Sorry if I have bad english :angel:
Yes, you do need to install CWM. Also meaning of pre-installed CWM, it is Samsung Stock Recovery. It is very easy method to get CWM on your note.

Thanks for answering! I got it, but I have another doubt, If I install Cyanogenmod in my device, I will have lower graphics in-game? Something like no developer optimisation for my ROM (no antialiasing, poor texture quality etc)? Or This depends of the device not the ROM?
flashing CWM also is very important because it has Backup and restore options which are not included in stock recovery
1st thing I do for years is taking nand backup to restore in case on any failure (which happens alot with trying roms and mods)

Get Apex launcher or one of the other launchers available. Easy to theme and remains stock.
I don't believe you should have problems in games as the cm10 team use the aosp or aokp rom. Straight from google like on the nexus series. They then tweak and theme as they please...

So how did you flashed CWM? Cyanogenmod official wiki tells me this:

You're using Heimdall, not ODIN.. ODIN easier to use though Heimdall good too.
If you are rootedalready you can also use Mobile ODIN, pro version to be safe.... Easiest way I know how...

Yep, that should be ok... Root and CWM first then CM10...
Just a suggestion, in ODIN untick "reboot". This way you can go to recovery before it reboots and changes back to stock recovery... It does this so you do need to boot to recovery afterwards manually. volume up + power until logo appears then release power button... Then you can flash CM10 but make sure to follow all the steps...
Oh yeah, in ODIN, DON'T TICK REPARTITION... You will end up with a big problem if you do...
Hi guys,
i'm somewhat of a noob when it comes to Android devices, so please excuse my stupid questions.
First some facts about my device:
ROOT: Enabled
BOOTLOADER: Locked and not changeable
ROM: Latest available official release
(hope that helps at least a bit)
#1: Is it possible to bypass the bootloader lock via root? If so, how?
#2: If there is no way to bypass the lock, is it possible to modify the rom anyway? Because i want to add the swapon/swapoff functionality to expand the available ram via a swap partition on my external SD card. (already checked via terminal if swapon/swapoff is available)
Thank you in advance for your help. I hope there's a solution to my problem.

You're right - your phone isn't allowed a bootloader unlock.
Without bootloader unlock, you can't change ROMs, but you can install ICS, which is a bit faster than Jelly Bean, even slightly more than CyanogenMod. In fact, even with an unlocked bootloader, I'm using ICS. Here's how: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579233
Now, you said you're a noob when it comes to Android, so here's how to flash an FTF:
This process will remove all installed apps, contacts and settings. Any music, stuff on the internal storage (the one for music etc.) or the microSD will be preserved.
0. Make sure you're on Windows 7 or below. For some reason, this doesn't work with Windows 8 or 8.1, so you'll have to get a 7 PC somehow.
1. Download Androxyde's Flashtool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 (use the unrestrict.li link, it's better)
2. Install it. By default, it is installed to C:\Flashtool. Open this folder, and then the "drivers" one. You'll see a driver setup file. Install the Flashtool and Fastboot drivers (in the list, they're on the bottom).
3. Now go back to the Flashtool folder, and open "firmwares". Put your FTF file here.
4. Open Flashtool. Click the lightning icon. Ensure that Flashmode is selected, and press OK. Choose the C1605 11.1.A.0.68 file, and press Flash.
5. When it tells you to, turn off your phone. Plug in the USB cable into your computer. Hold volume down (do not hold the power button), and (point of no return now) plug the phone into the USB cable connected to your phone. The notification light will glow green, and hopefully everything will start flashing. When the Flashtool window tells you to disconnect your phone and turn it on, do so. Set it up, and you're on ICS!
If you want to go back to Jelly Bean, download this FTF: https://www.mediafire.com/?3fmmkbmlqtjd6cy and put it into the "firmwares" folder. Now follow the guide step 4 onward, but select "11.3.A.2.23" for Jelly Bean.
Whew, long post.
So, in principle i downgrade the device to ics with an unlocked bootloader and then can flash a custom rom that is jb based, with all features i need to expand the ram?

No, ICS won't enable you to unlock your bootloader OR install CWM OR install a custom ROM. ICS is faster than any other custom ROM (other than XboosT, which is basically ICS on steroids), so if you can't have custom ROMs, the next best thing is ICS.
Another noob's question:
I installed Xposed a few days ago on my c1505 (stock firmware, locked bl). It worked perfectly. But i've read from another post that if i remove it my phone won't boot. So is there any way to remove it without breaking my device?? Waiting for answers.

But UltraGamerHD is still using his phone (in fact, he's making CM11...), right?
Right now, I uninstalled Xposed, rebooted, installed Xposed, rebooted. Nothing called a brick (although I did lose a cool Xposed mod for a reboot). Well, whatever. Uninstalling doesn't brick.
In fact, the problem in the topic is either:
1. The phone hard-bricking, which is not related to Xposed at all.
OR
2. The phone's battery being discharged to 0%, to the point where the phone cannot turn itself on and start charging.

1. I went to Sony cause I didn't know what the issue was - they fixed it by using a Z1 or Z Ultra charger to charge it to 9%, powered it off, and let me charge the rest at home.

I did brick it once, I went to the Orange UK store in my local town and he said he used software similar to PC Companion.
Go to phoneunlockserver.com and unlock your bootloader even if it says no for £10 GBP --> Use Google Currency to Convert Price.
Since it is kind of on topic.

UPDATED THREAD
Hey, guys. So here it is:
ROOT + TWRP
Smart Ultra 7 ONLY !
NEW TWRP VERSION: 3.1-0
_____________________________________________________
HOW TO ROOT ? :
This nethod will break OTA, so for update you must use SUGAR.
1) Download TWRP and SPFT from my PAGE and place it on desktop.
2) Download these files and put them on your SD CARD: SuperSU_1 and SuperSU_2
3) Turn off your phone and run SP FLASH TOOL.
3) When the SP FLASH TOOL starts, select MT6755 scatter file and MTK_AllinOne_DA.bin file (they are in SPFT folder)
4) Select ONLY recovery and load the TWRP_3.X.X file. (X.X means a version of TWRP)
5) Press download.
6) Connect your powered off phone to PC via USB cable.
7) After flashing the TWRP, hold VOLUME UP + POWER to boot into TWRP.
8) In TWRP press "INSTALL" and flash the boot patch - SUPERSU_1 and then flash root - SUPERSU_2.
9) Reboot and enjoy.
KingRoot Fidelity
Is it safe to root with KingRoot? Have been trying to figure out the best way root this phone for two weeks now, and trying to avoid KingRoot all this time.
Can you replace the KingRoot Binaries and Root Management Tools with the SuperSU ones?
Will Xposed Framework work on this phone? Really want AdAway, Greenify and Xposed Tweaks on the Vodafone Smart Ultra 7.
Thanks!
You can replace kingroot with supersu thanks to this app:

I did not try the xposed yet.
But it should work properly.
Thanks for the reply,
I still feel skeptical about KingRoot, and there are reports that indicate that replacing KingRoot with SuperSU isn't that easy either, KingRoot seems to completely deny root once altered or removed, which makes it look even more shady, I really want root on this phone, there are tweaks I would love to do such as dpi change, remove the vodafone label on the statusbar and more, but I don't know if I'm willing to use KingRoot in the process. I'm used to SuperSU and Xposed Framework working flawlessly, so I'm really 'scared' on this one.
Thanks
Not working on my ultra 7

Xposed Framework? Or root in general? (KingRoot)

Root. After enabling USB debugging and unknown sources, I click "try to root" and then get the "Failed to root" screen

I guess we'll have to wait for further development on the phone, I won't put my phone trough KingRoot, and you even reported that it isn't working for you... oh well.
Really wanted root on this phone, lets hope someone actually picks it up just as they did with the previous model (Smart Prime 6 / Smart Ultra 6).
İt did not work for me too ı hope a way can be found for rooting otherwise i desperately regret to bought this phone

Don't give up just yet, I do understand your desperation, as I feel almost the same as you, but you'll see someone will find a way, at least I hope...
This phone its awesome for its price point, and would be absolutely marvelous with all the tweaks and adjustments root brings to the table.
Who knows, maybe we'll have a full developed phone (custom ROMs, root, recovery, all of that good stuff), we can only wish someone works on it... :highfive:
Doesn't work for me too
Waiting for some devs...

Hey mate, just tried with the link you provided, unfortunately no success.
Been trying since yesterday to root with KingRoot, using different versions even.
Any ideas? USB Debugging in turned on and Unknown Sources as well (obviously).
Really really really want root on this phone.
Thanks!
Custom Recovery, Woop Woop :highfive:
That's strange that it's not working for you..
Many people say that it's not working for them, others say that it's working..
Where the problem could be?
I got my phone rooted after the second attempt, because I forgot to turn on USB debugging.

Everything matches the about phone screen you've sent,
I don't really know what can be different or wrong, but I've done everything right, I even used USB debugging to change my phone's DPI trough Android SDK...
I'm really confused, should I keep trying?

Umm, did you update your phone?
Because my custom build version is 120FKN1 and I even didn't update it.

I didn't, the phone came as it is out of the box, no software updates were made...
I guess we've found the issue, if the software versions don't match, that means everyone with yours (120FKN1) can root with KingRoot, and everyone with mine (060FFN1) can't...
I've got an issue in my hands I see...
