Root help

Do you have a recovery there? Maybe try making a backup and flashing a root binary from a different device (galaxy for instance). I heard it sometimes works and if not you have a backup.
BTW - How is this device? Seems solid?

CWM RECOVERY and ROOT!

I'm getting a 'Download Warning' on my PC
It says:
Not ALL images are correctly loaded, which may cause boot up issue!
Do you still want to go on downloading anyway?
Any ideas what to do from here?

Thanks for the offer. I've sent the phone back
3G didn't work at all. I'll wait until the next one arrives and start the process again.

CWM Recovery & Root
I have successfully flashed a CWM recovery and root script on this phone. Everything works. Here's how its done:
Here is the "About" under settings on the phone that i have done this on:
First Download This:
http://www.mediafire.com/?eq9b28ua89wh8d1
This RAR Archive contains everything needed.
MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS ON JELLYBEAN. [4.1]
1: Installing CWM Recovery
Extract the downloaded zip and run the flash tool. (Flash_tool.exe)
In the flash tool, click where it says "scatter-loading", and browse for "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" [It is in the: \CWM_recovery_4.1\recovery folder that was included in the downloaded archive]
Now, before flashing, MAKE SURE "RECOVERY" is the only thing ticked in the list of things to flash.
(Mine had two things ticked by default, just make sure the only thing that is ticked is the recovery.)
When the scatter file is loaded and only recovery is ticked, make sure your phone is off and the battery is out. Also make sure it is unplugged from the computer.
Now in the flash tool, click the download button at the top.
*Note: If you get: "Not ALL images are correctly loaded, which may cause boot up issue!
Do you still want to go on downloading anyway?", Just click "Yes"
Plug in your phone with the battery out and wait for it to finish flashing. If the flash tool doesnt detect the phone, it means the drivers probably aren't installed. install the drivers [included in download (MT6575_USB_VCOM_drivers)] and wait for it to finish flashing
When it flashes, you will get a popup window with a circle, showing that it has completed. you can now unplug your phone.
CWM recovery is now installed on the phone. Time to root!
2: Rooting VIA CWM Recovery
Copy the "CWM-SuperSU-v0.93_tirannozaurus.zip" to your phone's SD card.
Boot the phone into recovery. [hold volume+ and power while the phone is off]
Choose "Install zip from sd card" [using volume and power buttons] and navigate to "CWM-SuperSU-v0.93_tirannozaurus.zip"
Flash it, and then reboot the phone. You should now have root:
If you follow all of this properly in order, this should work! i am not responsible for anyone bricking their phone. Doing this is all on you.
*NOTE*
If your play store is not working [If it says there is no connection], Goto your phone's settings and set your date and time. This fixed it for me.
Also, credit to the original authors of the files. I have simply taken the required files and archived them for your convenience.

Extract Firmware zip file that you downloaded already from above link, you will get a .tar file and some other files.
Extract Odin zip file and you will get Odin3 v3.07.exe along with few other files.
Power off your phone. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
Now, put the Galaxy Pocket Duos GT-S5302 phone in Download Mode by pressing pressing and holding down the Volume Down and Home buttons while pressing the Power button until you are welcomed by a green robot indicating you are in Download Mode.
Now run Odin3 v3.07.exe (see Step 2) as an Administrator because Admin privileges is required to complete the process smoothly.
Now connect your Galaxy Pocket Duos GT-S5302 with your PC using USB cable. A message will arrive under Odin’s message box in the bottom left saying “Added!!”. If you don’t get the same then you should try another USB port (try USB port located in back in your desktop PC). If that too don’t work then you should then reinstall the driver. If you successfully see the “Added!!” message in Odin then you are ready to go in next step. You should also see COM port with a number in Yellow if you successfully added your device.
Select these files in Odin at respective tabs from extracted S5302JPLH2 firmware folder :
Click the PDA Button, and select the .tar file here with *code* appearing in its name
Click the Phone Button, and select file with *modem* in its name (leave if there is no such file)
Click the CSC Button, and select file with *csc* in its name (leave if there is no such file)
Click the PIT Button, and select the .pit file. Use only if you got it while extracting in step 1 above, otherwise ignore it.
In Odin window, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes are selected. Also, make sure that Re-Partition checkbox is selected, only if you are using a .pit file (see Step 7.4).
Double check everything that we mentioned in Step 7 & Step 8 above. Now, once satisfied hit the START button to begin the flashing process.
Once flashing completed, you will see a PASS message with green background in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. The phone will then automatically rebooted and soon you will see the Samsung logo. You can then unplug the USB cable to disconnect your device from computer.
Congrats! Your Galaxy Pocket Duos, model number S5302 should now run on Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread build JPLH2. Go to Settings > About phone to verify this firmware update.:good::good:

I bought my gtab2 few days back. It runs jellybean 4.1.2 Indian version, after going through different outdated rooting guides i thought it would be better if i ask this here. I am about to root my gtab2 following the ibntimes guide . Please tell me if i should do something different or if there's a better way to root. The guide looks fairly simple and straightforward though.
