How to root samsung galaxy a8(sm-a8000) chinese and install google playstore - Android General

Hello guys!
Today i am going to show you how to root samsung galaxy A8(mentioned above) install twrp and then lastly install playstore on it without any troubles!
The problems i faced was so much critical and step by step i faced bugs and fixed them accordingly.
so we come to main topic now.
first of all reset your phone. thats because a frash phone is always perfect. btw non resetted phone also works here.
1) Now download the app in the link below called CROM_Service. open it and just wait it will unlock your bootloader.
2) Now u need drivers. download them also in the link and install on your windows 10 pc. Boot your phone in download mode by pressing home+volume down+power button. in chinese font screen press volume up and then connect you phone with pc using a fairly working usb 2.0 cable.
3) Now download CF_ROOT in the link below and and put in your worling folder better name that folder your phone name cause we always work in this folder. extract files in there. Now open Odin in that foler as admin and click AP and load the md5 file in same folder. and click start. this will flash root and restart device with a modified kernal.

Hello, I'm not sure whether this is the right place for my problem but I will give it a try. I have a problem with TWRP recovery on sm-a8000 Chinese version.
Every time I try to flash any zips it fails.
Error 70 failed to mount preload (invalid argument ) I can't do factory reset either in . I'm able to root the phone and the phone works normally except for the custom recovery.
I tried to do factory reset in original recovery and it worked.
My aim is to install Google play apps.
Here are some pictures of the recovery result. My internal memory is only 3Mb in the recovery but if I connect the phone to my computer it shows 10Gb free.
Any idea what's going on?

hey,did you hv any rom of that model (sm-A8000)?

Hi!
I'm using Prestigio 5000 duo and this method does not seem to work for me. Mostly the script remains in the infinite loop, sometimes it said it completed however there was a mount - no permission error and no rotting was done.
I also tried MTK tools without any luck. Is there any other way?
My version is: PAP5000DUO.V20130419.V1.0.10
Please help! I'd like to create a backup (install CWM) and fix the jumping wifi mac address bug. (apply custom mac address). Rooting is needed.
Thanks!
It seems like I have JB 4.1.1. and this one works for 4.0 only. I'm looking at this solution ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245259 ) but I haven't been brave enough to start it as I first tried to read back the recovery from the phone before flashing the new, it does not work (0% does not move). Also when I cat the proc/mtd file in abd shell it returns an empty list.

Now I was able to read back but cannot download the recovery: SP Flash Tool Error 8038. I have Prestigio PAP5000Duo.
I have MTK6577 scatter file (MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt). Should I press upgrade instead of download? Will it work with only a single recovery file?
Thanks!
OK, I figured out it myself. The process did not work with the scatter file that was provided with the recovery image. Using MTKDroidTools it was two clicks to create one. (/prec/mtd was empty, that was a nogo).
Now it works. Unfortunately mac address changing does not work even with root. I get random every time. What a pity...

Solved: stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode

Solved: stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode
So you are stuck on the dreaded " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" screen and there is nothing you can do to get your phone to start normally or even get to the download screen?
Fret not lads & ladies, I've already gone thru the pain and suffering and have come out new man, and I'll tell you how I did it. Also im starting all the way at linux/mac so everyones included.
First things first, you are going to have to get your computer ready with the right software for it to work.
You will need to make sure you get an original stock rom, make sure your source forwhere you download it is credible, this was my first mistake and why evidently I got myself into this mess.
I'm sure other roms might work that are modified for your device, but I suggest stock, and starting fresh just to make sure everything is up and running.
I am not responsible for your device, it may get bricked if done wrong.
Linux & Mac users first.
1. You will need to downloadable a program called Hiemdall, its a program similar to Odin3 (windows program).
2. You will need to extract the stock rom you downloaded earlier, I suggest to a folder in your desktop, wd will call it "folder1".
3. Now open up Hiemdall in root, (sudo Hiemdall-frontend for terminal) and then make sure device is on and stuck on the " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" screen, plug it in, then press the utilities tab and detect. ($ Heimdall detect)(terminal users). Make sure you do all this fast because the tablets are kinda funny when they stay connected.
4. Now clickthe Utilities tab then the "save as..." button and save the destination for the .pit file in the same location as the extracted stock rom folder (folder1).
5. Next click the Flash tab, and click browse and locate your .pit file, the one you just downloaded. Next click add under Partition (files), and then change the partion name (On the left hand under patition details) to recovery and browse to the extracted folder (folder1) and click and add the recovery.img and press start.
Now if all went well your tablet will have restarted itself and you have seen the logo (Samsung). but the chances are it wont load past that screen, but thats ok because now you can get your device into download mode and re-flash the whole rom. Do this the same way you did the recovery.img, but make sure you add each new one to the correct name in the partitions details section.
Now if this didnt work, then dont worry you can still join the windows crew and do it hat way. Simple download a program called virtualbox and get a windows xp iso, thats up to you to figure out as I deal with open source only O.S
So aftr you do that just load up the virtualbox with windows xp and follow below. I found it a bit easier as well.
Windows users....
I found this way to be pretty simple and straight forward,
1. Download Odin 1.3 (1.85 wasn't working for me)
2. Download the clockworkrecoveryMod
3. Open up Odin and browse in the PDA section for the CWM you downloaded and add it, next plug in your device and the box should turn yellow on the top left.
4. Press start and let it finish and reboot your device and you should now be able to boot into CWM and re flash a rom, or if you were smart just restore from a previous backup and get all the apps and stuff back too.
I dont know why cwm worked but it did so no complaints, just make sure you go into cwm and backup your device and with titanium (google play app) before you start playing with the root.
I did this and it worked for me, so hopefully it did for you. Im sorry if it didnt but dont get down, j6st be patient and ask and someone will help.
The key is getting the recovery.img to flash on I believe and maybe the cwm has it built in the package, im sure someone can shed some light on it.

If you can reach to the CWM recovery mode: Download firmware in zip form, you can get it from the below link. if you have a zip file leave it.
After obtaining the firmware copy to your external sdcard using a card reader or any other method
In recovery mode select "Instal zip from sdcard" then select "choose zip from external sdcard" then select the copied firmware zip file from the list and wait for completion
After completion go back and select "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" reboot . it will take some time for reboot atleat 15min. it worked for me. hope it will work for you. good luck

AND REGARDING THE ERROR.....IT LOOKS AS THERE ARE MORE THAN ONE EMULATORS RUNNING AND IT IS GIVING ERROR BECAUSE OF IT.
DISCONNECT ALL OTHER REMOVABLE DEVICES CONNECTED WITH YOUR PC...
HAVE YOU FOLLOWED ALL THE STEPS AS DESCRIBED IN THE THREAD? AND DOWNLOADED ALL THE FILES FROM THIS THREAD ONLY??IF NOT SIMPLY DOWNLOAD THEM FROM HERE AND PLS FOLLOW ALL THE STEPS STRICTLY AS GIVEN IN THE POST..
TRY AND REPORT.
BEST OF LUCK.:good:

Thanks for the quick response.
What does more than one emulator means?
I don't have any other removable device connected to my pc, and yes, I downloaded all the files from this thread only. What else can I do? Where am I missing out?

Emulator is a hardware or software used for duplication of behavior of main system to host system.
In short your pc is main system here and device is emulated system.
I think you should than turn on usb debugging and set device as media storage and try.
IF YOU ARE STILL UNABLE TO ROOT THEN TELL ME AND I HAVE ANOTHER METHOD FOR YOU.:beer: cheers.

I'm stuck at the point where I'm supposed to click the download option in the flash tool coz nothing is happening after that. A dialogue box pops up which reads "Not all images are correctly loaded which may cause boot up issue! Do you still want to go on downloading anyway?" And when I'm clicking on Yes, the download progress is remaining unmoved at 0%. plz help. Screenshot included.
EDIT : Looks like this method is for jellybean. I'm using stock ics.
I prefer you use binary4u method i think you are getting these error because when you were rooting a another device was connected or try to as admin

YOUR PROBLEM IS SIMPLY THIS THAT PRE- LOADER DRIVERS FOR YOUR PHONE ARE NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED IN YOUR PC. That's why sp flash tools is unable to connect to your phone and flash recovery.and so there is no progress.
TO INSTALL PROPER DRIVERS GO TO THIS THREAD.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370906
And i know that the method i suggested is to root jellybean but it works fine on ics also ( but you cannot root jellybean via ics method)
**After installing proper drivers try again the above mentioned method and it should work.
And regarding that message... it will always come because all the images required to flash a new firmware are not properly loaded.
Ignore it because you are after all not flashing a whole new firmware but simply recovery in your phone.
Best if luck.

I have already been into that link since even I thought that I'm having driver issues but my device is included under adb in device manager and when I tried to update the drivers, it said that the best drivers are already installed.
I'm lost in a limbo, don't know what to do.

Ok My last suggestion.
Remove all the connected device(dongles, bluetooth device) from your comp except your mobile with Usb debugging on.
restart your comp.
now place it in C drive(just for caution) or if it was on C drive move it to another drive.
Now try to root if it doesn't root.
Try frameroot.

Try with a different port or with different cable.

[Q] Help Need for my Samsung S4 Mini

Hi guys i've got my phone rooted according to the instruction
WARNING! ONLY USE THIS ON THE GT-I9195 MODEL!
Hello all S4 Mini owners!
I'm happy to finally release ClockworkMod recovery and an insecure kernel for the GT-I9195. With these two installed on your device, obtaining root is easy.
Attached to this post is the necessary files needed for this task. Download the following files:
•Odin_v3.09.zip (if don't have it already)
•recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-serranoltexx.tar.zip
• GT-I9195_RootKit_v2.zip
Extract recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-serranoltexx.tar.zip file to your computer.
The procedure is as:
1.Copy the "GT-I9195_RootKit_v2.zip" to your device SD card.
2.Turn off the phone.
3.Press and hold home, volume down and power. Download screen should appear.
4.Connect USB cable, and press volume up.
5.Start Odin, uncheck "F. Reset Time", and then click AP button.
6.Select "recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-serranoltexx.tar.md5" file that you previously extracted, and press Start button. The phone will reboot when finished.
7.After the phone resets (it vibrates) IMMEDIATELY hold volume up and home buttons to boot into recovery mode.
8.Select the option to install the ZIP file you have previously copied to your device and begin flashing it.
9.After flashing using CWM, reboot into system and enjoy your rooted device.
To get rid of the the warnings about applications doing not permitted actions, delete the following files from system/app
•KNOXAgent.apk
•KNOXStore.apk
•ContainerAgent.apk
and i could not find out where is are this 3 APK hiding at so i decided to reset it back to factory setting but this problem still persist which comes this message:
"Device Information :
The device as detected an application attempting unpermitted actions. To protect your device, it is recommended you reboot."
anyone got anyidea how to find this 3 apk please?
Or how i can revert it back to factory settings without it popping out again ?
Have de same problem!

Actually found this... No credit goes to me I'm just passing the info along...
How to disable ANNOYING messages "DETECTION Information":
Using TITANIUM BACKUP and FREEZING app called SEAndroid.apk DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY!!
DO NOT USE IT, YOUR SYSTEM WILL GO BACK TO CUSTOM AFTER SOME TIME!!! NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Use File Manager with root explorer instead and mount SYSTEM as WRITABLE.
2. Go to: /data/data/ look for com.sec.knox.seandroid and rename it to 000.knox.seandroid or whathever you wish.. Same thing applies to com.sec.knox.store
3. Go to: /system/app/ and DELETE: KNOXAgent.apk, KNOXAgent.odex, KNOXStore.apk, KNOXStore.odex
updated:
After few hours of testing (MDL), and all updates there was NO messages at all!!

[TUT][ROOT+CWM+GAPPS]InFocus M512 Root, CWM and GApps tutorial.

So there is a bargain chinese 4G phone called the 'InFocus M512'.
The problem with it is that it comes without Google Apps and also is not rooted (sometimes is). Also it does not have CWM Recovery.
So this quick tutorial shows you how to root, install CWM Recovery and install google apps on the M512.
I'm not responsible for any damage
Rooting:
Method 1
1.Go to settings>>Security>>Check Unknown Sources tap OK.
2.Download this file.
3.Install
4.Run and tap 'get root' or somthing like that.
5.Delete KingRoot and some chinese app, but DO NOT DELETE KingUser!
6.Done!
Method 2
Flash CWM Recovery using the 2nd method from this post. If you have rooted usign the first method use method 1 from that post.
Download UPDATE-SuperSU-x.xx.zip (i used 2.46)
Reboot into CWM.
Select Install zip>choose zip from /sdcard>select UPDATE-SuperSU-x.xx.zip, press power button
Reboot now
GApps
1.Download this zip file
2.Reboot into CWM.
3.Select Install zip>choose zip from /sdcard>select the file, press power button
4.Reboot now.
How to delete KingUser (only if you have SuperSU and it is working)
Download ES File explorer, enable root explorer, go to /system/app and delete KingUser.
So this is how to get root, cwm and gapps on the m512.
First Method no good for me
I put the kingroot file in the adb tools folder and used the install command. It wasn't clear from the above whether the phone needed to be in recovery or some other mode so I tried a few times, in recovery mode and again just connected as an mtp device in the normal way. Either way the result was the same, it said "Invalid APK File: KingRoot.......".
I will have a go at the CWM thing next.
I am still on the 103A ROM that the phone came to me with - I have been trying, on and off, without success to update and then root it , for months.
When trying to flash an update ROM it tells me that the update package has unexpected contents and the there is an error in the update file and then says "Status 7". You can read all about my lack of success on this forum under the threads M512 started by Galaxy Why.
I'm trying, I really am....
Let me start by saying thanks for making the effort to post what you know and so to help people like me, however.
I tried to follow the method 2 (as I don't have root) from your other post (the one linked to above with the words "the 2nd method from this post" but got stuck.
Your instructions in normal my comments in italics.
Method 2: (No root)
1.Connect your phone via USB to your PC. OK
2.Enable MTP. OK
3.Enable USB Debugging. Settings>Developer Options> tick USB Debugging. OK
4.On your computer, 2 drives will appear: One of them is a CD-Rom which contains all drivers. OK
5.Click on that CD-Rom and it will install all drivers. It doesn't, or it may do, but what it definately does is asks me to put a disc in the drive and tries to do some kind of dir_all in windows explorer - I would post a screenshot here but this page only allows URL's- and I'm not sure how to go about that.. but I think I've managed to upload a screenshot....
After waiting for 5 minutes or so to see if something would happen as the green progress bar ground to a halt but the busy circle continued I hit the cancel button on the "please insert a disc dialogue" and then ploughed on anyway ....
6.Plug phone in again. Now this had me confused, I assume you mean unplug AND THEN plug the phone in again.
7.Download the .ZIP file and extract it somewhere. Which/what zip file do you mean exactly?? I couldn't get past this.
8.Click on _install_cwm_6.0.5.1.cmd
9.Your phone will ask you something, just tick "always allow from this computer" and hit OK.
10.Your phone will reboot into DL Mode, then it will reboot again.
11.Recovery is installed.
It's late and I'm tiring so sorry if missed something obvious. Any advice?

Looks like you don't have a adb driver
And... why do you want to root your phone? Installing CWM is not root required.
M512 comes with a unlocked bootloader, just boot into bootloader and you can flash anything you like.
I made a customized stock rom based on version 2280, bloatwares removed and Google Play framework included. (You can download the apps back from Play Store, if you needs those)
Now the phone has 2.09GB free spaces :victory:
If you were interested on it, I can upload it and give you a link.
