Well, everything went well as I expected. Beats Audio is perfect. And about Flash Player, it is the only version which works on my phone. Bravia Engine 3 was installed succesully. But the bootanimation.zip flash wasn't successful. Evo-x4 doesn't have a boot animation and I really wanted one. The bootanimation.zip I tried was the ported Google bootanimation.
Anyway I am running Evo-x4 and I really liked your tool. I will use on every ROM probably. Good work.
P.S. The Miscellaneous Tools is my favourite tab.

I tried the bootanimation.zip option from your Miscellaneous tab but nothing happened. No bootanimation applied. Tried both from CWM and CWM BroacomCM

That is not my fault and it is not the problem with Toolkit.
This is bootanimation "INSTALLER" not "ENABLER". You need a ROM which supports bootanimation.
bootanimation is disabled in Evo-x4 and you will have to enable it.
Bootanimation Installer works fine on all other ROMs.
This tool otherwise works with any recovery [Even stock one also, but may not install tweaks (related to mounts)].
You can use Classic CWM or BroadcomCM CWM.

Can you please tell me how to enable the bootanimation on Evo-x4? Do I need to flash any file before installing the bootanimation.zip?

You both are using stock ROMs? If yes then have you deodexed stock ROM?
In that case this must work.
Also you need to check the checkbox of "Fix Permissions" after you select Kitkat Statusbar.
Fixing Permissions takes 3-4 minutes.
Then this definitely works. I have tested it.

Working on thl A3
App's operation is confusing, as it appears to 'hang' with this on the screen: "The network links failure,please check"[sic].
But ... exit from that screen by clicking Home, then test by running (for example) Root Checker Basic, and see confirmation of Root:
Congratulations!
This device has root access!​
SuperSU is now installed (in English as the docs said) and when run, it asks to update the binary (normal behavior).
Strange, ADB devices -l command failed, device restarted, failed again.
Full power off -> Reload OS, normal operation restored. Not sure what happened here, but it's back to normal. Just try everything, sometimes ...
What failed, with this model A3:
Framaroot, several different versions
Towelroot v3​
System Information:
Android version: Jelly Bean 4.2.2
Build number: thl.A3.03. 163A. 140411. JB5.V1. WBGA.EN.COM.4P2_MTK6572_W
There is a report of Framaroot working on this phone, but I couldn't duplicate that, nor could discover which version was claimed to be working.

samsung galaxy tab2
It work for me.but I have not been able to boot into recovery . I no I'm doing something wrong. And yes I am rooted.

[ROOT][SuperSu][NO KingUser] GC2 G355

Greetings.

[URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998801"]Use this on your own risk [/URL]
[Q]; Is it safe ? Yes it is.
[Q]: Will it work for my device ? Try it and U will find out ...
[Q]:Unroot possible ? Sure use option in SuperSu apk or better backup recovery/whole stock rom.
Since many users proposed to me to create a new thread for fullroot of Galaxy Core 2 phones ( some models ), I decided to do so.
It's made for stock recovery for Galaxy Core 2 and for latest update of it.
Stock recovery for G355HN and any other custom recovery.
GC2 stock recovery phones have not fully working SELinux recovery support and the CF instalation of SuperSu won't work. Read : it also work in permissive mode.
Custom Recoveries :
TWRP :
Original developed by @Y300-0100 http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...55h-m-t2998094
modded by @Dhruvit Pokharna http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...-2-sm-t3013103
CWM :
Original developed by @cleverior.ipul http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...alaxy-t2990852
If you have working CWM / TWRP/ Mobile odin ( recovery with full SELinux support) you could use update script from ChainFire to obtain fullroot and install SuperSu or use latest update script by me.
What needed :
Galaxy Core 2 phone with android 4.4.2 able to goto stock/custom recovery, no other preroot attempts needed like preinstalled busybox,preinstalled init.d, because all this need the preroot access and installation.
This update zip is made specialy for G355HN devices. Tested on Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355HN on 4.4.2 Android on both stock roms available,
but it should work on some devices Galaxy Core 2 with stock/custom recovery.
How to :
Code:
1. Shut down your phone until last vibe ... it's OFF !
2. Enter stock recovery - hold 3 buttons (Menu + Power + Vol up)
3. After init select "apply update from external storage", press power button to enter
4. Select the previous downloaded zip . The file you have previously copied to extSdCard - and press power button ...
5. The script will run ...
6. If all goes ok, your phone should be rooted.
7. After boot android will upgrade - Superuser apk ask for update su binary.
8. No internet connection is neccessary for this step ... Select continue,normal way and wait for the success.
9. Hit thanks if it worked 4 you
Thanks for Superuser and binary goes to Chainfire
Powered by SuperSu !
And finaly :
About OTA updates and system status, CF Auto root options :
After rooting the device your system status will become custom ( Device status : Custum ).
You can check it in Odin mode ( download mode ), check current BIN and System status .
You can reset binary flash counter with Triangle Away but you cannot fool OTA update program so easy.
When you are rooted you can't check for updates OTA. There was a lot of chat about whether you had to defrost various apps etc. to fool the update feature. Using Wanam Exposed, under "Security Hacks" you get the option to change (fake) "System status" from "Custom" setting to "Official", and thus allowing you to check OTA using Samsungs update feature. Much easier than having to check Sammobile every day. Hope it helps someone.
... but the OTA removes root, so you have to root the updated version again. The almost same is with GravityBox.
CF auto root by Chainfire is still not available for GC2. Still waiting for it.
Any other posts regarding those 3 questions will be deleted by moderators.
Feel free to post any other questions and infos regarding rooting your devices and root feedbacks/errors.

This update zip is made specialy for G355H... devices. Tested on Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355HN on 4.4.2 Android,
but it should work on all devices Galaxy Core 2.
Initial support for Android 5 is enabled little more changing needed when the port or release will appear
How to :
1. Shut down your phone until last vibe ... it's OFF !
2. Enter stock recovery - hold 3 buttons (Menu + Power + Vol up)

Wipes o anything else is needed? I'm asking because is my girlfriends phone which I'm trying to root, I don't want to brick it
Sent from my ALCATEL ONE TOUCH 5036A

Nope, I have the Samsung Galaxy Core II SM-G355HN. It's completely new, bought through my mobile carrier. I updated the mobile to the latest version, 4.4.2.
Then I just intruduced a microSD card, transferred the required zip, and followed the easy steps. I've been using my GC2 for 2 days and I'm so happy I found this thread. I removed all the bloatware and all the apps I didn't want, then I installed Nova launcher and now this phone is so fast. I recommend you to install Nova launcher cause, in spite of being way faster and quite more responsiveness than anything else I've seen, the Touchwiz version that comes with this phone is awful, it's different from any other Samsung interface I've ever seen, I hate it. Besides, Nova is ultra customizable, I love it so much that I bought the PRO version. With the stock Touchwiz of the GC2, you can't even create a shortcut to "Manage Applications".
Cheers!

Hi its not working for me too :/ Superuser saying im using 4.3 then my phone is 4.4.2 so could u explain me that?

You don't need to install SuperSU first, it's automatically installed when rooting. I think you gotta have a 4.4.2 GC2. Why don't you update it through Settings/About device/Software update?

First of all read the thread. Mine root zip's are powered by SuperSU and not superuser !
If you have problem please state the problem what are you using and how . BUT FIRST READ THE THREAD CAREFULLY !!!!

worked for me.
This totally worked for me.. from rooted kinguser you'll need to flash it again to stock after that it went out smoothly... Thank you so much buddy... if you ever going here in Philippines, the beer and the chicks are on me.

No need to do that.The recovery update flashable zip first deletes all posible root apks and binary and cache data.Then installs the SuperSu apk and binary.
It works on stock recovery only.

Hi, StratOS_HTC, I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Core II.
Everything is working fine, but when I check for new updates through "Settings/About device/Software update/Update", a pop-up message appears and says something like:
"Your software has been modified, you can't update"
If I go to "Settings/About device/Status/Device status", it says Custom, and I've read that in order to update the phone through carrier's way, the Device status should be Normal, not Custom. These are the solutions I've found, though I haven't tried them, cause may be I shouldn't update the phone.
If it says modified then you could try booting into recovery (I'm unsure how, don't have the device) and wiping your cache, then rebooting. There may be lingering fragments of data in your cache from previous updates that are causing the modified message to appear.

I unmounted the sd card, rebooted, now the status says Official. Checked for updates, now it works.

I have the Samsung Galaxy Core II SM-G355HN with Android 4.4.2 (the one that came with the phone). I've rooted it using your method, I have SuperSU, I also installed Xposed framework and GravityBox so I can make some tweaks that I really need in order to use my phone as I want. I also use Nova launcher.
Which one of those things is not allowing me to update the Core II? Is it root? Xposed framework may be? Or the tweaks I've made with GravityBox module?
Thank you!

"Your software has been modified, you can't update"
Samsung has made their own check programs during boot,recovery and OTA update.
The system status changed if you root the phone. The partition can be written to (rw), so primary the whole update procedure or modified system has primary been modified just because of the root procedure and Samsung checks.
You can change the status via Chainfire's TriangleAway, but not the whole OTA procedure.
If you read the post regarding Samsung checks you will find a lot of stuff, but primary the GC2 stuff is different.
Wiping the cache and unmounting SDCard doesn't work for out phone if you want to update throught OTA.
Use Kies and Odin.
Not working OTA update is tipicaly just because of the root and rooting and samsung checks.
You can update/flash it throught Kies/Odin. and root it again or use the rooted integrated roms/flashes.

All right, first of all:
Where can I see the release notes of the new update? May be the update is not worth this whole process...
Second, if I download Kies and update the phone through Kies, do I lose all my data in the phone?
Can I update it using Kies the normal way? I mean, connect the phone, open the program and click update.
Thanks!

So how can i do unroot
It works for me. So how can i do unroot. For personal reasons(I can not install app to external card)

In SuperSu apk there is a option "full unroot" use this for it.
You can use some apps to install or move apps to extSdCard.
But I think that stock kernel support only fat filesystem of extSdCard,correct me if I'm wrong,havent tried it.It would be great to have some ext partition and swap on extSdCard too,but for that we will have to recompile and add modules for fs to kernel.
