Hey guys, today I'm back with another root guide. Of course it also shows you how to install recovery in case you don't have it. I will try to make the guide as easy to understand as possible, you know, for noobs. It's going to be a long day.
First thing, you can get any SuperSU zip that you want from Chainfire. I have the guaranteed one that I used to root mine. It depends on you. I will give you both links to Chainfire's thread and my file.
Requirements
-A PC
-Your device with USB cable(its battery level would better NOT below 30%)
-A stable internet connection
-Your brain(it can blow up, man, seriously)
A warning before we start:
-Files you download on your PC:
+Drivers
+Odin+Recovery
-Files you download to your device: Root(Chainfire's or mine)
Download all of them before you do anything. Extract Odin and recovery
The drivers are for Windows. I don't know if there are Samsung USB drivers for Mac or not.
Main Guide
1. Enable USB debugging on your device in developer options(to enable dev options, go to about phone, rapidly tap build number until it says that you have enabled it)
2. Open the drivers setup and install it on your PC.
3. Boot to Download mode on your device(Power off your device, then hold power and volume down button. When there's a triangle, press volume up.)
4.Connect your device to your PC via USB cable.
5.Run Odin on your PC
6.Uncheck Auto Reboot, click PDA and choose the recovery file.
7.Hit Start and wait until there's a PASS sign. Plug out your device and hold power button afterwards.
8.Hold power and volume up button to boot into recovery mode.
9.Tap Install, go to the folder where you put the root file in, then tap the root file.
10.Swipe to falsh.
11.Reboot, download Root Checker to verify
ENJOY!

Well, I tested it on the 8 or 9 inch whatever and it worked out. But there's a still chance that this won't work on models other than its own. You can check and send me your device's model and i'll figure out another way for you. But don't try this method, it will only make it worse.

Ok, you should try the other root zip file, because I posted 2 to make sure that you can do it all over again. Or you should first try rebooting your device again. I'm sorry for the inconvenience

Hi I have just bought the chinese dual sim galaxy note 2 GT-N7102 mobile phone and i am desperately trying to root it but in order to root it i need to access odin download mode so i can flash. I have tried the standard way of accessing odin download mode which should be: after switching phone off press Volume Down, Home and Power button till warning screen appears and then press Volume Down to enter Download mode but ive tried it and it does not work! Any help would be much appreciated.
Does anyone know anything about rooting this model or accessing download mode on this handset?
here are some information on the phone to help you further:
chinese dual sim galaxy note 2
model number: gt-n7102
android version: 4.1.3
kernel version: 3.0.31
build number: JRO03C.N7102XXALJ1
Also i have realised this phone is wierd it uses mtk65xx usb driver for connection to the pc instead of samsung usb drivers.
Entering factory mode.....
In order to enter factory mode or also maybe known as odin download mode on the chinese dual sim custom made galaxy note 2 follow these instructions:
1. switch phone off
2. keep power button pressed and press volume up key and keep pressing the volume up key until you see download mode onscreen.
Its in chinese but you can pretty much understand the basic stuff like flashing from sd card etc.
Now you can flash custom roms, root etc...
NOTE: THIS PHONE IS CALLED iHKC HERO 2
Thank me if i was helpful!!!
Same problem, unable to put N7102 into download mode

I am also looking for ways to root my dual-sim N7102 (from China) phone. I tried many ways, but cannot put phone into download mode. Following your advice, instead of any download mode, I get into a menu with the following options:
Android System Recovery Utility:
1- Reboot system now
2- Apply update from SSD card
3- Apply update from cache
4- Wipe data/factory reset
5- Wipe cache partition
6- Backup user data
7- Restore user data
However, any option I press, it doesn't do anything and just shows the Android guy on its side with a red triangle and an exclamation mark. I cannot go any further.
I tried ODIN, but it doesn't detect the phone, same with Kies, doesn't recognise the model.
I also use adb reboot download from a command line, but same story, no download is possible.
Any ideas?
To root chinese phones you should try that chinese app that has a hat as an icon, don't remember the name now but it's made for the chinese market and it aurodetects your chinese phone and roots it. Just reply to this thread as i'msubscribed and will check the software name when I'm on the computer! talk later

Thanks, I am trying many rooting kits, but it seems I am always getting stuck when trying to put the phone in download mode, it just refuses to go into download mode. May be this is a special phone, not sure what else I can try, if you find that chinese root let me know, thanks.
Sure man just got it. Its called zhuodashi, download it from their website. You will need pdanet software for the driver and tethering. Please check my posts and see if you can help with my problems cause nobody is answering on this forum.... thanks

I got the way. I ordered the phone and I got a note that stated the steps and download links. Now since I dont have access to post websites here you will need to read it off the attachment.
1)Please open USB DEBUGGING and connect to your PC (Win XP,Vista, 7, 8)
2)Download Snappea from the download link in the attachment. Inside the folder there should be Snappea, Install it and connect phone. Snappea should ask to install an app on your phone, accept it and Snappea should Identify your phone.
3)Go to your Task Manager and Kill the Process called "wandoujai_helper"
4)Go to the folder you downloaded from the link and in the MTK6577 folder open the "MTK6577root.bat" file. The page should look green with chinese letters, Well just press ENTER, then click "Restore my Device." (No need to type password). Then it will reboot 2 TIMES, dont touch it.
5) Check the app drawer for a new app with a # icon. if its there then you got root access.
Now I would recommend to grab a superSU.apk attached and before STEP4, go to the folder and look for those 2 superuser apks and replace the superSU.apk with an english one I attached and then proceed to STEP4. Then it will install in english.
Just as a favor, if you know or learn how to install Clockworkmod or any working Recovery, let me know to [email protected]
It's probably gonna be easier just usingthe soft I stated above.

GT-N7102 backup Needed!!
I am willing to pay someone via paypal, for the person who can upload a full gt-n7102 backup. I bricked my phone trying to install CWM and it is stuck in a bootloop. Please someone just make a backup, may be M5D and just upload it, and send me an email to [email protected] I will pay $20 via paypal... You dont need CWM to make a backup.
Steps:
1)Turn Off Phone
2) Click and Hold the Volume Up+Power Button
3) Once in Recovery Mode, Press HOME
4) Then Backup
5) The "backup" should be in a newly created folder in the SDCARD, just zip it and send it to me.
Since this phone is not that popular it is important that we all keep a backup, online just in case, plus it will help others who bump into this issue. I have searched many forums but nobody has uploaded a full GT-N7102 backup.

Hi,
I think you might have the same problem as I faced. What i eventually figured out is that you need to press the "Menu" capacitive button instead of the power or home button to select an option in this "recovery" mode.

No, I gave up trying, but then realised the phone was already rooted when it came from China. Google Play was not working because the model was not recognised by Google so I couldn't install any apps. I then discovered a little program called APK Installer, which allowed me to install Titanium Backup and then I was able to uninstall all the chinese apps, and then install all other apps this way.
You can search the net for apk apps, there are several sites. The only problem is that I always have to use this method to install apps, but at least it works.

Hi this is how to root your s4.
Pre-requisites
1) Install USB Driver for Samsung Galaxy S4 to transfer files between the Android device and the computer.
2) Enable USB Debugging Mode on phone to connect it with computer and use Android SDK with it. [Press Menu>> Settings>> Applications. From there navigate and click on Development option and check USB Debugging Mode.]
3) As the tutorial might wipe out all data of the phone, create a backup. If the device is having any custom recoveries such as ClockworkMod/TWRP already installed, backup data using the recovery.
4) The Galaxy S4 should have above 80% battery charge.
5) The phone should be factory unlocked and not locked to any particular carrier.
6) The device will lose manufacturer's warranty once it is rooted. However, users can reclaim the warranty back by unrooting the handset later.
7) The CF-Auto-Root files work only on Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 and GT-I9505. As applying these to any incorrect variant might brick the device, verify the model number of Galaxy S4 by navigating to Settings>> About phone>> Model number and install the root package accordingly.
Steps to root Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500/I9505 on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
Step-1: Download CF-Auto-Root file for Galaxy S4 to computer (Download link download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip
Step-2: Extract the downloaded root zip using Winzip, 7zip, winrar or any other extracting tool to get a file with .tar.md5 extension
CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5
Step-3: Download Odin3_v3.07. Extract the Odin zip to get Odin3 v3.07.exe file
Step-4: Switch off Galaxy S4 and wait for five to six seconds for vibration to confirm complete power off
Step-5: Place the phone in Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power buttons together until the construction Android robot icon with a warning triangle appears on the phone's screen. Then press the Volume Up button to enter Download Mode
Step-6: Run Odin3 v3.07.exe as Administrator
Step-7: Connect the phone to the computer using USB cable while it is in Download Mode. Wait for some time until Odin detects the device. When the phone is connected successfully, an Added message will appear under Odin message box. Additionally, the ID: COM box in Odin will turn blue with the COM port number indicating successful connection
Note: If the Added message does not appear, then try another USB port, try the one located at the back side of the computer. In case Odin still fails to recognise the device then reinstall USB driver.
Step-8: In Odin, click the PDA button and select CF-Auto-Root-ja3g-ja3gxx-gti9500.tar.md5 or CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5 file according to the variants
Step-9: Ensure Auto-Reboot and F.Reset Time checkboxes are selected in Odin
Step-10: Click the Start button in Odin. The installation process should begin now and would take few minutes to complete
Step-11: When the installation process is completed, the phone will restart and soon a PASS message with a green background in the extreme left box at the very top of Odin. Once the home screen appears, unplug the USB cable from the phone to disconnect it from computer
Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500/I9505 running Android 4.3 should now be rooted successfully. You can now install any app that requires root permission. To verify the root method is installed and working properly, install Root Checker app from Google Play Sore.

Although this is a pretty safe way of rooting these phones.. advance at your own risk!! I am not reliable for your phone. If you are broke and have never rooted devices before you might want to wait till you have a bit of cash for a new one if yours bricks.
I am making this tutorial to help others out that have ran into this issue before. Trying to root a THL 4000, 4400, 5000, & it getting stuck at the fastboot mode. I'm sure that this will work with any MTK device that has to have 3 windows driver states. So lets get this started
Things you will need......
You will have to have developer options enable on your device. If you do not know how to do this then follow the link below.
http://www.xda-developers.com/enable-developer-options-in-android-4-2-jelly-bean/
Windows Auto USB drivers for MTK devices....

Root Software... Kingo Root
http://www.kingoapp.com/
Get the “MTK Droid tools” only not the drivers. I don't think they are automatic as that is the method we will be using.
http://chinagadgetsreviews.blogspot.com/2014/01/download-mtk-droid-root-tools-v252.html
Step 1
Keep your phone unplugged.
Tell windows not to auto install a driver for your phone. Go to your start button and do a search for...
“Change device” This bring up at the top... 'Change device installation settings' Click on that then you should be able to select “no, let me choose what to do” Then “Never install drivers from windows update.” Hit “Save changes”
Step 1.1
Before you reboot!!!
If you have plugged in your MTK device before trying this then you need to go to your device manager and delete the driver that is listed under “Android Device”. (on windows7 it was a HTC driver that auto installed that I had to delete.)
If not then move on to step 2.
To find device manager ..
Hit start then search “device manager” It should list it at the top. Click it then Android device should be the first one in the list.
Plug in the phone.
Right click on the HTC driver or whatever it installed for your phone and select from the list delete or uninstall this driver. Then it's going to want to reboot go ahead and say yes.
Unplug your phone restart your computer & move on to step 3
Step 2
Reboot Windows.
Step 3
Install the main driver.
Extract the USB driver .zip you download into it own folder.
Click into the folder then click on install and follow the install processes.
This will install all the drivers for MTK Devices X86 & 64bit(32bit/64bit)
With your phone booted up..
Then Plug your MTK device into your computer with your USB cable.
(If you see the installing driver message pop up from windows click it. Hit stop trying to install driver from windows update.)
The message it should say is “driver installed successful” in the same window it will list the driver it installed it should say “Android Composite ADB Interface”
Then it installed correctly.
If this failed then reboot and then plug in the phone again.
If step 3 worked then move on to rooting
Install Kingo Root and root!
With the phone booted and in the main system..
Open up Kingo root on your windows computer and plug in the phone.
Set the phone down on something so that it is not being moved during rooting.
You should see Kingo root searching the connection when it's done it should have the name of the device and some other information on it like it has a MTK CPU and stuff. Hit the button at the bottom that says root and it should start root the phone.
DO NOT DISCONECT OR HANDLE THE PHONE DURING THIS PROCESS<<<<<<<<<
You should see it downloading files and installing them on the phone.
The phone should reboot a few times you might see it go into fastboot mode.
This is where it will work or get stuck in fastboot.
If it worked the you are all set.
If it failed and got stuck in fastboot then continue on to step 4 of this tutorial.
Step 4
(If you just got stuck in fastboot mode above close kingo root and try holding down the power button on the phone. If power button did not work pull the battery if its a THL 4000. Hit the reset button on the back if its a 5000. Then boot backup into Android.)
You have to install a driver for all states of your android phone.
Recovery driver,
Fastboot Driver, << If it is getting stuck in fastboot when trying to root it.
Main system driver.
We have installed one for the main system now lets install the other two
Recovery driver.
Unplug your phone from your computer.
Power down your phone.
Hold the Power button and volume up at the same time till you feel your it vibrate or go to a screen asking you where you want to go. If it asks you use your volume and power buttons to navigate the menu and to select “Recovery Mode”
Now in recovery mode plug your phone back into windows. Because you installed the auto driver and you have windows not looking at windows update it should install the drive automatically.
It should be something like this..
Driver installed successful
“Mtk device driver” or “MediaTech device”
Then it should have the driver to talk to your phone in recovery mode.
If your phone has a option for fastboot in your recovery menu the select it.
If you don't then select “Reboot device” or “Boot device”. In the recovery menu.
Install Fastboot driver
If you had the option to go there from recovery then you should already see windows installing a driver for fastboot. It should say the same thing your recovery driver said when it was successful. If this worked skip the next few lines and move to the next step.
You only have to try to install this driver if when trying to root it with Kingo root it gets stuck in fastboot mode & Kingo fails to root or just sits there at waiting on device.
If you end up on this mode don't panic it happened to my THL 4000 & THL 5000.
Warning this is not the best of recommendations but it worked for me!!
Kingo root was hung on waiting for device and would not fail or stop trying like it was froozen. Now keep in mind I gave it about 30 mins to stop trying. The phone was still in fastboot mode so I X out of Kingo root to close it and unplugged my THL 4000 phone still in fastboot mode.
Now with phone in hand still in Fastboot mode reboot Windows. After the reboot pulg your phone into the computer with your USB cable still in Fastboot mode.
Windows will automatically install the same driver that it installed for recovery mode.
Then you are ready with all 3 driver Kingo root can access the phone at all levels to root the phone.
After the install on windows is complete if it is still in fastboot mode.. unplug the phone from the computer. Try holding down your power button (and if it shuts it off your good). If it does not work open up the back and take the battery out.(THL 4000) If the battery does not come out then take the back off and look for reset button.(THL 5000).
Now your device should restart back up to the main system. Stay at the main system for rooting in the next section.
Root the THL 4000 5000 MTK device.
With the phone booted and in the main system..
Open up Kingo root on your windows computer and plug in the phone.
Set the phone down on something so that it is not being moved during rooting.
You should see Kingo root searching the connection when it's done it should have the name of the device and someother information on it like it has a MTK CPU and stuff. Hit the button at the bottom of the page and it should start root the phone.
DO NOT DISCONECT THE PHONE ON THIS PROCESS<<<<<<<<<
You should see it downloading files and installing them on the phone.
The phone should reboot a few times you might see it go back to the fastboot except this time it has a windows driver and it should get past that part this time. When its done it will say finish at the bottom leave the phone plugged in and hit the button. It should come to the rooting screen again and say Un-root OR Root again. Then you know its rooted.
Congrats your THL MTK device should be rooted now!! It should have installed SuperSu for you. Now go download some cool root apps!
With the MTK Droid Tools you downloaded follow this really good youtube tutorial from ITXtutor on how to back up you MTK device!!

Although this is a pretty safe way of rooting these phones.. advance at your own risk!! I am not reliable for your phone. If you are broke and have never rooted devices before you might want to wait till you have a bit of cash for a new one if yours bricks...

I was able to root my device by installing and running the KingoRoot apk, It does everything by itself, it just needs an internet connection. Easy and safe.
My THL 5000 with the latest firmware was a bit resistant to rooting.
I tried several tools without success, but the kingoroot apk worked like a charm!
After getting stuck at 30 and 50% for ~30s the progress got stuck at 90% (and I was getting a bit scared) but I didn't touch the phone and waited until after about 2 minutes it jumped to 100% and rooted succesfully.
I did the root because I needed to fix the USB OTG, which was not allowing the use of the tiqiaa USB IR blaster with Zazaremote.
After doing the root, I ran the USB Host Diagnostics (Chainfire) and it reported that there was a problem with the OTG USB and offered to attempt a repair.
I accepted it, the phone rebooted and the problem was fixed!
Now I'm the local IR device terrorist! muahahaha

Unfortunately it did not work with rooting, did it as described above.
After the reboot, the tablet hangs at the start screen and does not boot any further.
how can I undo this, because before the device ran without problems
Hello everyone. I need help here.
I have a Samsung SM-T561 & some months ago, I upgraded to version 7.1
Then a few days ago, I wanted to upgrade it to version 10.
That's where things got messed up!
1st. I didn't make a backup of what current ROM.
2nd. I completely forgot to enable USB debugging (again, despite It wasn't the first time I used custom ROM)
3rd. The problem must have been from the ROMS I installed. They didn't work. So I factory resetted EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. INCLUDING THE SYSTEM.
So basically, I HAD TWRP. I HAD NO OS. I DIDNT TURN ON USB DEBUGGING MODE.
Then I understood that I didn't need ODIN anymore because I had TWRP.
So.
I downloaded the files to flash again. On SD card. And inputted it inside . So it still DIDNT WORK!!
Then I flashed in IMAGE form.
Then my TWRP DISAPPEARED.
IM ON CONSTANT BOOTLOOP.
THE ONLY THING I CAN ACCESS IS THE DOWNLOAD MODE.
AND I CAN NOT CONNECT WITH ODIN BECAUSE I HAVENT TURNED ON USB debugging...
Someone should kindly... please. Get back to me
Rooting the samsung devices can be pain in the ass if you don't have any idea on which device are you trying the root by the given thread. Suppose if you try to install a twrp(a custom recovery ) of J200H LTE in the J200H Duos then its sure when you try to go to the recovery you wont see the twrp. Basically guys i want to help people who were stuck like me on rooting the SM-J200H/DD .
#####################(Please follow the instruction properly and do it at your own risk )##########
Well lets get started, Please dont try this on other varient because it wont work Its only for the J200H/DD . You can see it by taking out the battery and there will be a sticker with the info of IMEI and Device Name. First things first you will need a Odin to flash a custom recovery to your device i will show you the whole steps .
Step1: Download Odin .
Step2: Go to the Developer mode(If you cant see the developer mode in your mobile then go to about device and click the Build Number 7 times ) and in the developer mode Enable the OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging.
Step3: Download twrp and and SuperSU copy the SuperSU.zip in your SD card . Now all you need to do is boot the Mobile into the Download mode this can be done by switching off the mobile .Power down and wait for the Vibration of the mobile when the mobile vibrated then it means its powered down. Now to get into the download mode press all these three keys at a time Volume Down+Power+HomeButton . Now there is a screen that will say volume up to continue . Press the volume up button . Now If you see there is a FRP Lock if it is On then it means you havent turned on the OEM unlock but if you see FRP lock off you are good to go .
Step3 : connect your mobile to the PC using a usb cable and open odin . Remember to this click on the option of the odin and uncheck auto reboot. If you connect your mobile it will show "Added" if it doesnt show wait for some minutes until it shows added if it doesnt shows added this means your device is not connected to the computer (it may be problem due to the USB cable , i suggest you get the geniune one of the samsung) . Once you see the added button. Now there is AP button in the odin choose that and select the twrp.tar files that you have downloaded.Now we are good to flash a custom Recovery . Click on the start Now(please make sure all the things that i have said , you have done it properly ) . now if it says pass . Unplug the USB then now we need to do this thing press Volume Down+power+home Button(You need to keep pressing these three buttons after the screen goes off then immediately press Volume Up+power+Home Then wait for some time until a samsung j2 screen shows . Now If you see the Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) then this means you did what i had said if its doesnt shows the TWRP then you might not have followed the instructions properly.
Step4: With the SuperSU.zip in the Sd card which you had copies earlier we need that. Now click on the install and go to where you copied the Update.supersu.v2.46.zip and select that and then there is swipe to confirm the flash . Swipe !!. Now the SuperSU will be installed .Click on Reboot system. Once the device reboots then if you see the supersu app then you have successfully rooted you J200H/DD
I have made this post longer in order to make people understand it very clearly read the instruction properly if you dont then the phone wont root . It is good to follow the SIngle topics rather than many topics and get yourself confused . Please feel free to ask anything. .
you can use the similar method for other mobiles but you will need their own twrp for that which can be downloaded using google . !!! please make sure you choose the right Device Twrp .
sorry
