NOTE: Click on the images to enlarge them!!!:good:
DISCLAIMER: Rooting your phone will void your warranty, and can be dangerous. You may end up with a “bricked” device if anything goes wrong. I take no responsibility if something happens to your device. If you are ever in doubt STOP! This is not something to take lightly!
While rooting is reversible, it’s not something you should ever plan to do. Use some common sense here. If you don’t understand the consequences of what you are doing, DO NOT ROOT YOUR PHONE! You have been warned.

So you have bought the GT-S5282 and after getting bored of playing with it have decided to give the ultimate treatment to your new toy, ROOT IT!!!
Well you have come at the right place. Today I will share with you friends a ridiculously easy way to root your Samsung Galaxy Star Duos. Your droid should be running stock firmware and you need Windows OS running on your computer.
Just follow the steps mentioned below carefully:-
1. Download the version of Cydia Impactor for Windows OS from this link www.cydiaimpactor.com
2. Install your device drivers by installing Samsung Kies on your PC and then connecting your phone to your PC via data cable. The device drivers will be installed automatically after few minutes.
OR
Alternatively you may install ADB drivers from the given link adbdriver.com and after turning on USB debugging in the Developer Options of your droid and connecting it to your PC via data cable, clicking on the Install option the drivers will be installed automatically.
3. Enable USB debugging from Developer Options in your droid (if you have not enabled it previously) and connect your droid to your PC via data cable.

5. The programme should be displaying the command # drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su as shown above. Click start and run this command in the Impactor and wait for a few seconds for the process to get completed. When the programme again displays the above command, WOW you have successfully rooted your phone!!!:highfive:
6. Last but not the least you need to install these free apps from the Play Store before you enjoy root privileges on your droid....
i. SuperSU - This is required to access Superuser privileges on your droid. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu
ii. BusyBox - This is required to install the BusyBox binaries on the rooted device which is needed to run some root apps. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en
NOTE: Installing the above two apps are a MUST to access ROOT features on the phone!!!
7. TADA! You are now free to enjoy your ROOTED Samsung Galaxy Star Duos and unleash the hidden power user within you...!!!
NOTE: This method only works on preupdated old firmwares. If you get "signature bugs unavailable" error, it means you are running the latest/updated version of the stock firmware which comes with the bugs patched. For you guys who get this error, you need to flash the old stock ROM released before August for your device. You can download the stock firmwares from here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-S5282
You need to flash the stock firmware on your droid via Odin. For help regarding how to flash stock ROM via Odin, check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2482371
