[Q] Unable to root Samsung S5360 on 2.3.6 XXKL3

Tried to root my Galaxy Y S5360 using the described method (update.zip). No errors and I can see and launch the SuperUser App. However, I still can't modify any of the system files and Android Commaner reports Root Access: NO.
I can't see that I missed anything. Build.prop attached.

The same problem
I do not have even a su app in list...

You may try tool named Universal Gingerbread Root & Unroot. I'm sorry that I do not offer link, but such rules are...

btw, you can check with root checker basic if you have root acces, than you just should update superuser. And intergrate update in system, I use link2sd for that

I had this problem to.
The attached file worked for me.
Instruction.
Put the file in root directory.
Flash with stock recovery(not CWM)
It's a quick flash and after re-boot you should be set.
IT DOES NOT WORK IF YOU FLASH USING CWM.zip:silly::silly:

Unlockroot and Super One Click usually works for me, if one fails other surely be succesful. But i am rooting tablets generally so i dont know if these will help, but worth a try.

[Q] Moving apps to SD card

Hi I have A sony ericsson neo V phone and have been reading on moving apps to sd cards as I couldn't do it manually, I have read that I have to root the phone, would like some help on this please, I ve seen a thread but don't know whether it applied to my phone make and model. Please tell me how to carry it out.

I believe you need to root your phone to force apps to SD card unless they have that functionality as an in-app feature. You can search the forums for your specific phone's forum, and find a rooting thread there.

Now that you are rooted there are multiple methods to move an app to your SD card. Many are user friendly apps on the play store (I have used app2sd, seemed to work good). Or you can manually move the files using a file explorer now that you have root privileges.

Alternative method
After Rooting your device you can use foldermount to mount some apps on Sd card

I used link2sd..withit i can deinstall applications or freeze, bcz not used memory if is frozzed...

[Completed] What app is this and where to find the app data folder?

Hi, I bought a chinese head unit for my car an it seems to work very well with android 4.1, 6.95" display, A9 dual core cpu, unbranded. There is an app called "bootanimation" (see pic 1), when starting you can select one of 3 different animations (pic2) but I don't now where to find the data files for this app (and did not find ANY information about this app!) - I would like to use another boot animation file. It seems that the device is NOT rooted (tried to active root access in file explorer, but this did not work). App information (pic3) doesn't help - do you have any idea where to find information about this app?
Thx in advance!

Hi,
You can't access system apps or data in a file Explorer without root, as far as I know.
You could ask here if anyone knows a way..... But you may need root to accomplish this,

Good luck!

Also, root it usually needed to manually change boot animations, as they reside in the system partition.

[Completed] [Q] New - Trying To Get Help With A Boost Mobile LG F3

Hello -
I've got a Boost Mobile LG LS720 (F3), and the phone was rooted with Towelroot, as it is a v7 phone. I was assisted at Android Forums originally; yet, I am trying to get assistance - as I want to start using Terminal Emulator, to unlock the phone's read-only memory status in sdext2. The phone works, but, I cannot get CWMT 6.0.4.8 to work correctly - it always triggers a factory reset; though, root remains. I'm able to use my mp3s from my 32 gB micro SD, but, I can't move apps using Link2SD Plus (which is the only way I can access CWMT 6.0.4.8). I'm not new to bringing root to phones, but, this Jelly Bean phone has given me nothing but trouble - I even soft-bricked it once during v6, and sent it to LG's Ft. Worth repair facility to get v7 installed (stock) I have Busybox installed, SuperSU, and to stop the 'Android Is Upgrading' app optimization at boot, I installed CWM Superuser. I have ES File Manager installed, Root Explorer, and Remount installed, as well. I want to learn about using Terminal Emulator, and taking my Android experience to the next level. I am willing to do whatever it takes to become immersed in Android, and one day, start developing apps. I hope that you folks can assist this 52-year-old, disabled Androidphile in taking things to the next level. Thank you for allowing me to post. LOveBusker
