[Q] Samsung S6352 Dear from China: no Google apps

Hi,
during my last trip in China I got this nice dual SIM mobile running Android 2.3.6 and soon I realized that, as many other Samsung devices sold in China, all Google apps are blocked, only Samsung Apps works.
Since I need Gmail I visited several forums and I learned that rooting the device may be a solution to install Google Play and all the rest, but being the mobile commercialized in China only (at least till now) I cannot find hacks in non-chinese sites, and I do not understand chinese
I also gave a try to an hack for another Duos, without success.
Anybody may give me a suggestion on how to go further?
Thanks in advance
Jimmi

After long searching I found this thread in a chinese forum:
http://bbs.hiapk.com/thread-4273288-1-1.html
I see a .rar file but I cannot download because I think it needs a registration, and I cannot read chinese.
Do you know anybody that may do it?

Bought new Xperia Z3 Dual D6633 with lollipop 23.4.A.0.546... Want to Root it...!!!

Hi guys.. I bought the new xperia z3 dual d6633 phone. It came with lollipop 23.4.A.0.546. I already made the a pre-rooted ftf build using PRFcreator on the latest lollipop build available. But when I was about to root, I came to realize that I would need a working root and Dual-Recovery manager installed on my phone to flash the pre-rooted latest build. I searched across the internet but its quite old and confusing. Here I believe as our fantastic experts on xda-forum, will know everything for everything got to do with the Android world. Please buddies help me out. I would be humble thankful to you. :fingers-crossed::victory::victory:

Google is your friend. You have to downgrade to kitkat, use giefroot tool to root, then install recovery and finally flash your PRF.

It was much to have my post left only seen by the visitors but not left with a useless junk comment like yours. You came like a tornado, left a piece of junk and then simply flew past like lightning struck the tree and people never knew what burnt the tree. Neither you pinpointed where I will get this tool and secondly you didnt even bother to give the exact Kitkat build number to flash before even attempting to root using Giefroot tool. Anyways. I did find out myseld the giefroot tool and for you pathetic knowledge, it is stated that the tool doesnt even bother to work on the kitkat version i downloaded and flashed on my Z3 Dual D6633 phone. It's always giving me error that ADB server is out of date and killing. Will you bother yourself explaining to a noon like me to figure out what to do next when stuck in the middle of such a mess. Any further detailed elaboration would be highly appreciated by me. Thanks.
here is the screen shot for the error.:crying:

@noob_coder
Look, its not my fault you cant read. The first post in the giefroot thread says to use firmware from October 2014, and as for my pathetic knowledge, ill take it elsewhere and let you figure out what you have done. A bit of advice though..... Read read read before you do anything.

Try downgrading to 5.0.2 and then root using kingroot and then install recovery. Then flash a prerooted rom or stock based rom.:good:

How to find code name of device? And compatibility question.

How do you find the code name of your device? Ex. d2att for the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Also, I think (tell me if I'm wrong) that the phones I'm looking at from Wind Mobile work with T-Mobile phones. If this is true, does that mean a ROM in the T-Mobile forum that doesn't list the exact model number of the Wind Mobile phone (ex. if it listed SM-G920T but didn't list SM-G920W8) will still work with that ROM?

unfortunately i cant answer that, but i can comment on it.
there are a small amount of phones that you can flash a rom that wasnt specifically made for it, but if you cant find proof before trying, there is a real risk of permanent brick if your wrong.
take the g3 for instance (only because i know about this device),
you can take a vzw g3 and use it on tmo, but you can not flash a tmo rom on it because it is a vzw phone.
if your just talking about a rom, and not actual stock firmware, the risk of issues is still there, but generally, more likely fixable because its not flashing key partitions that could render your device unfixable.
i am in no way suggesting you try it, only because if it bricks the phone i dont want to be responsible, but if it were me, and i had a backup to restore the phone, and stock files to flash if need be, i would try it. but you would have to be in a position to buy a new phone if things go terribly wrong. if not, then i wouldnt do it.

I'm not sure if we have the same understanding. I mean just like how the Bell Samsung Galaxy S3 can flash AT&T ROMs, I'm wondering if that would be the same for Wind Mobile flashing T-Mobile ROMs even if the model number is not exactly the same (ex. flashing a SM-G920T ROM on a SM-G920W8).
And yeah, I'm talking about flashing an AOSP ROM rather than stock firmware ROM (TouchWiz, Sense, Etc).

maybe you will get some help if you ask in the specific device forum q&a of the devices you need info about. usually thats the best place to ask questions if the device specific forums exist for your models.

yea go for it. maybe stagger your post a bit though. dont throw them all in at once.

Canadian here. All T-Mobile ROMs will work on our Canadian owned S6s. Sometimes an extra custom kernel needs to be flashed, but they will work.
Also, try going to download.cyanogenmod.com to search for your device, then you will see the codename at the end of all nightly zip filenames.
Good luck.

Galaxy S6 5.1.1 SM-G920FXXU3COI9

Hi all,
I'm visiting the XDA Forums for the first time, so please excuse my ignorance if I'm posting my article in the wrong location, or am not observing an obvious rule. The reason I'm on here is because I'd like to root my device so that I can install custom roms, and remove the spyware pre-installed onto my device (the Computrace rootkit by Absolute Software).
My device specification is in the title.
I've tried unlocking my bootloader (following a great video from HighOnAndroid) however, the option to do so is not present.
Please can some kind soul help me achieve my objective of liberating my device? I would be very grateful.
Kind regards,
A compete idiot.

instead of rooting install debloater from xda and remove unvanted apps via pc.

Thank you for your kind words of assistance; unfortunately, I do not believe that this will help me tick all of my requirements (custom ROMs). Also, I believe that the Computrace spyware is so low level that this is not really achievable (although I could be mistaken).

I should also mention that my device was supplied by EE (Everything Everywhere) within England (UK - United Kingdom).

Just flash Unikernel with Odin (Get the odin version), than you'll have access to root and a custom kernel. From there you can install TWRP (make sure you have the correct one for g920f) using odin again, with TWRP then you can flash a custom kernel. Be warned though as you will lose your WiFi Calling capabilities.

Thank you. Are there any video tutorials an idiot like myself can follow? I quite often make school-boy errors. Also, will this trip KNOX?

It appears from an article I have read (http://www.galaxys6edgeupdate.com/how-to-root-galaxy-s6-511-update-unikernel/) the model I specified in the title is not supported. Do you know something that has not been explained here? Or was your suggestion slightly incorrect (although I am grateful for your intended objective to help)?

UniKernel works most models (Including g920f) and it doesn't matter what version you are on as long as you are on 5.1.1 (which you are).

Thank you Rekan_! I'll give it a try

Hi I'm new and lost. I've been searching on how to root my s6 on 5.1.1 and build number G920FXXU3COI9 but i can't find anything clear. Any tutorials i can use.

There is not a stock firmware available for that specific device, faked devices don't have any software support. You're chasing a ghost.
The best you can hope for is a firmware that is "close" to what you need and even if you install it, there will probably be features and functions that won't work without modifying the firmware to make it completely compatible with the device.
Personally, I suggest they forget about that device and get a non-faked device, they'll be better off that way.
I don't understand why anyone would waste their money on fake devices and then think they can do the things with it that can be done with brand named devices.
It's like intentinally and knowingly spending money to have your face stomped into the dirt.
I would think that the average person is smarter than that, but I guess not.

Hello, there actually is. That you can't do the same features you can install ok phones like samsung, that i know. But there is a stock flashrom, there is for all such phones, i just need someone who can export it (if they have the same model) so i can flash it back on.

If your device has a stock firmware that is available to the public, then why haven't you downloaded it and flashed it? I'll tell you why, because it doesn't exist, that is why.
So, I say again....
No, that is not true at all. Not all devices have a stock firmware that is available to the public. This is especially true for cloned/faked devices. I've never seen a cloned device that has a firmware that is available to be downloaded and flashed. Everyone I've ever seen here with a cloned/fake device that needed a stock firmware has had to find firmware from a different device that is close to the same thing as the device they had and then modify the firmware to work on their device, some never find anything that works.
Sure, parts of the stock ROM can be dumped from the device if it is rooted, but, that won't give you the entire firmware from the device, there are parts that can't be dumped.
I don't think you understand what is going on as well as you think you do.
I searched for the firmware for you. I found a lot of devices with P31 in the name, some of them have a firmware that is available, but none of them were the device you have. I did not find anything that you can use.
See what I mean? Cloned devices have absolutely no software support of any kind. The people that make these devices don't care about supporting their product or supporting the customer, all they care about is making the devices and selling them to whatever fool will buy them.
When you buy a fake device, you take your chances and you better hope nothing goes wrong because you're pretty much screwed if it does.
