[GUIDE] [TOOL] Rooting the official ICS ROM

I've tried many different ways and many have failed me, so I'm documenting one way which worked for me.
You will need the Acura recovery
http://www.mediafire.com/?5io5b2r98nt28bb
and gazhead's SU zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1352095&d=1348524309
Preparation
Extract the recovery package
Step 1: Drivers
Make sure you have the OMAP 4430 drivers installed.
If you do, skip this step
Note: On windows 8, you will need to have rebooted your computer into a mode which lets you install unsigned drivers. Do a Google search to find out how.
To install the omap drivers:
Turn off the phone
Remove the battery
Open Windows' device manager
Connect the phone to the PC.
When OMAP4430 appears in your list of devices, double-click on it and select "update driver software"
When asked, pick the usb_drv_windows folder extracted from the recovery package and go through with the installation
When the installation has completed, you should have a new category called "Ti Boards" with the OMAP4430 USB device under it.
Step 2: Installing recovery
Disconnect the phone
Go to the recovery folder and launch "Instalar Recovery ICS Europeo.bat"
The script will be waiting for the phone to be connected.
Press "vol up"
Connect your phone, without any battery
As soon as the script does something, release the button and insert the battery
As soon as the script stops, disconnect the USB cable.
When you see the silver LG logo, connect the USB cable again
The script should complete its task soon after that.
Note: If the script is waiting for something, pay attention to your list of devices, you may have a LG COSMO device which has no drivers. If this is the case, install the OMAP4430 drivers and start the script again.
Step 3: Rooting
Put gazhead's file on your SD card
Turn off phone
Press "vol down" + 3D button + power to boot into recovery
Install the zip file from your SD card
Reboot
That's it. Help me improve this post by reporting any errors you see and I hope this will save people some time

Try releasing the vol key before inserting the battery. This worked for me.

I cant enter recovery mode
i just installed and then pressed the buttons but it doesnt work
Edit: I rooted by installing TWRP recovery and it worked

Lets say i TOTALLY screw this up.. what is the absolute worst case scenario? Can i brick it or is soft brick worst case?

It can be fixed

Space for Apps
Good evening, the home version of SU760 had 2GB of space for installing applications ... Already the European version of the P920, only has 1GB of internal memory dedicated space .... Is there a way to change this? Well I tried to restore the apps that I had, and gave memory overflow ...
Thanks

Is there any chance of "security error" with this?

Mar 29, 2013 Ξ57 CommentsRoot and Install CWM Recovery on Verizon Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 Android 4.1.1/4.1.2
posted by Rakesh Shukla
Rooting an Android device has many privileges. Having rooted your phone once, you are able to use third-party custom ROMs and mods that require a custom recovery to be installed. Besides, there are hundreds,or say thousands, of app that are capable of doing wondrous things and enhance your phones performance and usability. But this humble eulogy of rooting cannot undermine the hazards associated with it.
Rooting a Samsung Galaxy device is much easier than rooting any device manufactured by other OEMs but when it comes to rooting a Samsung phone from Verizon, things get a little more complicated and rounded. However, complicated it might be, it cannot stop our great Devs to crack the nut. All props and credit for the method described here goes to XDA member open1your1eyes0.
Disclaimer:
Please note that the procedure of unlocking the bootloader, rooting and installing a custom recovery on your Verizon Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 is considered risky. Moreover, it will also void the warranty of your phone. Proceed only when you are sure what you are going to do and understand the seriousness of things. More than anything, be careful while following the steps.
Looking for Rooting Tutorial for Some Other S3 Variant?
Take a look all Galaxy S3 rooting tutorials here.
Prerequisites:
•Charge your phone to have at least 60% of battery juice.
•Rooting does not wipe any data from your phone but we would strongly recommend that you backup all your contacts, messages, call-log, apps, etc. Here are some good free apps to help you with backing up your data.
•Put your device in USB Debugging mode from Settings> Developer Options>
Required Downloads:
Since this tutorial is for Galaxy S3 I535 on Android 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 both, download the files accordingly- only different being the stock bootchain file. For the sake of convenience put all the downloaded files in one folder.
These are important but mandatory files. If you have them, just skip:
•Download the Odin tool and extract the zip on your desktop: Odin3-v3.07.zip – Mirror
•Download Samsung USB Drivers and install on your computer. Skip if you already have it: Download
These two files are meant to be downloaded by all:
•Download the custom Bootchain file: VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5 – Mirror
•Download CWM Recovery: CWM6023TouchVZW.tar.md5 — Mirror
Download one of the following files depending on what you want:
•Download SuperSU file (for Root Only): CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip
•Download SuperUser file to (Root and Unlock Bootloader both): SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip — Mirror
Download one of the following bootchain files depending on firmware version of your Galaxy S3 SCH-I535:
•Bootchain file for VRBLK3 (Jelly Bean 4.1.1): VRBLK3_Bootchain.tar.md5 — Mirror
•Bootchain file for VRBMB1 (Jelly Bean 4.1.2): VRBMB1_Bootchain.tar.md5 — Mirror
Root, Unlock Bootloader and Install CWM:
Already made the preparations and downloaded the required stuff? It’s action time now. Be careful and proceed.
1.Copy the “SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip” file to your phone’s internal or external SD card.
2.Turn off your Galaxy S3 and boot it into Download mode: hold the Volume Down + Home + Power buttons simultaneously for a few seconds till you see a warning screen asking you to press Volume Up key to continue. Pressing this key will take you to Download or Odin mode.
3.Open the Odin folder and run the .exe file present there and then connect your Galaxy S3 to PC via USB cable. Wait till Odin detects your device and you see ID:COM port turning Blue and “Added!!” text at the message box below.
4.Now we will flash the custom bootchain file so make sure that “Auto Reboot” and “F Reset Time” are selected on Odin. Then click the PDA button and select the “VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5″ file and click on “Start” button on Odin.
5.The bootchain file will be flashed in a few seconds and you will see “RESET!!” message with blue signal. Your phone will reboot automatically. Close the Odin window and disconnect the USB cable.
6.Now you need to install the ClockworkMod touch recovery. To install it, boot the phone into Download mode again (as you did in Step #2 above).
7.Relaunch the Odin, connect the phone using the cable and uncheck the “Auto Reboot” option on Odin.
8.Click on the PDA button, select the “CWM6023TouchVZW.tar.md5″ file and hit the “Start” button.
9.CWM Recovery will be flashed to your phone followed by “PASS!!”. This time your phone will not reboot automatically. Close the Odin window.
10.Now pull out the back cover of the phone and remove the battery. Place the battery to its place after about 30 seconds.
11.Then boot the phone into ClockworkMod recovery mode. To do this, hold the Volume Up + Home + Power buttons simultaneously. Keep the 3 keys pressed till your phone vibrates and when it does, release the Power button but keep the other 2 keys pressed till you a gray background with blue text the clockworkmod recovery written on the top of the screen.
12.Since it’s touch recovery, you can either select options by tapping, or using the volume and power keys.
13.Okay, now go to “install zip from sdcard> choose zip from sdcard” and select the “SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip” file.
14.Confirm your choice by selecting “yes’ and let the installation finish.
15.When it’s done, go back and select “reboot system now”. But before your phone boots, pull out the battery and place it back after a few seconds.
16.Once again, and for the third time. you will have to boot the device in Download Mode. You know well how to do it.
17.Relaunch Odin, connect the phone to PC, click on PDA button and select the stock bootchain file (either VRBLK3 or VRBMB1) depending on what file you have downloaded.
18.Click the “Start” button to initiate the installation. When it is finished, the phone will reboot automatically.
So, now you have a fully rooted Verizon Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 with unlocked bootloader and ClockworkMod recovery installed. To verify the root, download any app that requires root permissions. However, there is a specific app for the purpose and you can find it at the Play Store
Everything went sucessfully and my phone was rooted. I did encounter one problem and that was I couldn't get the CWM Touch Recovery to stick. I found out with the help of a few forum members that I needed to select "yes" on the propmt to overwrite the stock recovery. (the warnign I got stated ROM will flash back to stock. Would you like to fix this? YES= This can not be undone/ NO or Go Back. I was selecting go back because I was not sure on what to select and CWM would never stick it would always reboot back to stock. Last night I did select yes, and it worked fine.) I went back and fixed the issue, and now CWM Touch Recovery is flashed on my phone. I also used Terminal Emulater to back up my IMEI.
My question is, because I initailly did'nt flash the CWM Touch Recovery the right way (right way meaning selecting yes) does this mean I didn't unlock my bootloader? I'm a complete noob and just want to make sure I have things in order.
Thanks,

Take a look at this thread to determine if you bootloader is unlocked.

Guide [Root]ing the [T230NU] for DUMMIES (Galaxy Tab 4 7.0)

1. To start off, make sure your tablet's battery is fully charged.
2. Download the 'T230NU Root Kit' & 'Samsung USB Driver' files to your PC & extract them.
3. Locate the 'Samsung USB Driver' file and install it on your PC.
4. In your Tablet go into Settings/General, scroll down and click on 'About device'. Look for where it says 'Build number', you need to TAP that continuously until it says 'Developer mode has been turned on'. You should now see 'Developer options' on top of 'About device', click it and checkmark 'USB Debugging'.
5. Connect the tablet to your PC with the USB cable.
6. In your PC locate the 'UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46' file and copy it to your Tablet (Root directory of your tablet is fine or place it anywhere you want, remember the location and DO NOT EXTRACT IT, just copy it as it is).
7. Disconnect the tablet from your PC & power it off.
8. Put your Tablet into 'Download Mode' (push all these three buttons at the same time; Power/VolumeDOWN/Home) As soon as you see letters on the screen IMMEDIATELY hit the 'VolumeUP' button while letting go of the other three buttons). If you did it right, it should now say 'Downloading...', if not then power it off and try again.
9. Connect the tablet to your PC with the USB cable.
10. In your PC locate the 'Odin3 v3.09' file, right click it and choose 'Run as administrator'. Once the program opens it should automatically detect your tablet--it should say 'Added!!' under Message. Now click on the button that says 'BL' and locate the 'openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-degas' file, select it and click open. Make sure to uncheck 'Auto-Reboot' and then click 'Start'. When it's done you should see the word RESET in blue on top & it should say 'RES OK!!' under message.
11. Disconnect the tablet from your PC & power it off by holding down the power button for at least 10 seconds.
12. Now that your tablet is off, go into 'Recovery Mode' (push all these three buttons at the same time; Power/VolumeUP/Home) As soon as the Samsung logo comes up let go of ONLY the power button, then as soon as you see the 'Teamwin' logo IMMEDIATELY let go of the other two buttons. If you did it right then you should now be inside the 'Teamwin' program, if not and your device booted up normally then you need to try again starting from step #7.
13. Click on 'Install' and locate the 'UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46' file--depending on where you saved it in your tablet on step #6, now at the bottom where it says 'Swipe to Confirm Flash' swipe it to the right, wait until it is done flashing and then choose 'Reboot System'.
14. Before you start jumping for joy, lets first check for Root status (once your tablet boots up, go to the play store and download an app called 'Root Check',
install it, open it & it should say that your device is 'ROOTED').
15. Congratulations! You now have full control of your device.

Are you aware this is now the third how-to-root guide thread made for this exact method, for this model?

You can check the uninstall option in superSu app or Re-install your firmware(or install any rom). I also think there might be some kind of superSu-uninstaller script/app somewhere in forums.

[ROOT][FIRMWARE][BOOTLOADER][RECOVERY] RCA Viking Pro (RCT6303W87DK) One Stop Shop!

I am not responsible for anything that happens in your life. Including what happens as result of following steps in this thread.
Hello all. After a long journey here, we figured a new thread would be in order for new comers not to have to read through fifty pages of information. Here you will find firmware to fix or update your Viking Pro. You will also find root methods, bootloader unlock and custom recoveries for this tablet. Lets start with ROOT...
Method 1: Kingroot. Kingroot works on this device. you can find it here. It's pretty straight forward, just download and install the apk and root.
Method 1.5: SuperSu. Kingroot works but it's not the best root out there. once you have root, follow the instructions here and Kingroot will be replaced with SuperSu.
Method 2: Su flash-able ZIP. This method requires you to follow steps in posts No. 3 and 4. Once you have custom recovery installed, You can flash This.
This method is a bit redundant. However, it does allow you to make a completely stock unooted backup of your rom before making any changes.
Check out posts 2, 3, 4 & 5 for the good stuff.
I'm gonna go ahead and thank everyone responsible and If I forgot to mention you, please don't hesitate to tell me and I will correct the situation:
@Bogram (Edited the bootloader so it could be unlocked on x.12.x versions)
@Jacube22 (Duplicated the method from Bogram to make the bootloader on x.9.x versions unlockable)
@vampirefo (Compiled a compatible CWM recovery for us)
@ewilley2008 (Found most of the firmware)
@mayzemay (Initial root thread)

@Chainfire (For root)

FIRMWARE
There are two main branches of development for this tablet. It is very important to know which one you have because they are incompatible with each other. I personally bricked my first one with firmware from a x.9.x while mine is x.12.x. How do you check? Simple. In your build number, you can find it in "About tablet" in Settings or in the text at the top of the recovery screen. It's at the end of the number and it will look like 1.12.30, 10.12.20, 2.12.20, 1.9.1, 1.9.5, 10.9.1...etc The number in the middle is the important one.
Steps(Windows): For step 2 you will have five seconds. Preloader mode is only active for five seconds. So read first!
1- Extract the drivers to the destktop and open the device manager.
2- Plug your tablet in as such: turn off the tablet. Plug a male to male USB wire from the computer to the USB port on the tablet. now plug the power wire into the tablet. now very quickly in the device manager locate the new device and right click on it. select "update driver software" then select "browse my computer for driver software" and "browse". Now navigate to the driver folder, select the "CDC" folder and click on "OK" the "Next". The driver should install at this point. Once that is done, unplug the power cable from the tablet.
3- Extract the firmware and the sp flash tools to your desktop.
4- Start the sp flash tools and where it says scatter file loading click and navigate to the folder where you have the firmware and load the scatter file. You will see the firmware get loaded and a checksum check.
5- Once that is done, uncheck the preloader from the list and click on the download button.
6- Plug the power cable into your tablet. At this point the sp flash tool will load the firmware into the tablet. DO NOT UNPLUG ANYTHING UNTIL THE SP FLASH TOOLS SHOWS YOU A GREEN CHECK MARK TO INDICATE THAT IT IS DONE OR YOUR TABLET COULD BE HARD BRICKED AND UNREPAIRABLE.
7- Press the reset button and turn it on. Done!

And Google of course...

Bootloader
So the bootloader on this tablet is locked. To unlock the bootloader, in a perfect world, you would usually boot the tablet in fastboot and type the command "fastboot oem unlock" and then follow the instructions on the screen. However RCA did not code in the volume keys in fastboot mode so it was impossible to unlock the bootloader that way. So our friend Bogram edited the bootloader and now the volume keys are not needed. What swell guy eh?
Unlocking your phone’s bootloader completely wipes (formats) your Android phone’s internal memory including applications, contacts, SMS and MMS messages etc.
So what you need is a scatter file like this one and a patched bootloader like these: x.12.x or x.9.x .
You will also need ADB & Fastboot and the drivers.
1- Just like in the FIRMWARE section, install drivers and SP Flash Tools.
2- Open SP Flash Tools and load the scatter file and in the line where you see "uboot" on the right click in the blank field and a window will pop up. select the patched bootloader. Make sure it checked and click on the "Download" button.
3- Now plug the male to male USB cable and then plug in the power. SP flash tool will flash the bootloader and then show you a nice little green check mark.
4- At this point you need to unpack the adb folder from the RAR file and place it in the root of you hard drive(C: ) then open a command prompt and nvigate to you adb folder (cd c:\adb) and leave it there for just a second.
5- On your tablet unplug the power wire, hit the reset button in the back and boot it into recovery mode by pressing and holding the volume up and power buttons together until the RCA splash screen comes up then release them.
6- In recovery, use the volume keys to navigate to "reboot to bootloader" and use the power button to select.
7- At this point your tablet will be in fastboot and your computer should detect it and install the driver. If not, the driver is in the "Android" folder in the driver files you extracted.
8- In your command prompt you left opened earlier, type "fastboot oem unlock".
9-Your tablet will do some magic, summon a demon, banish it to the depths of hell, reboot a couple of times and then it will have a unlocked bootloader.
10- Done. now you ca move on the next post and flash recovery.
Bogram also created a tool that patches the bootloader automatically should you have a different version we don't know about or what not...

RECOVERY
This section depends on a unlocked bootloader. If you did not unlock your bootloader in the previous post, do so before continuing to this one.
So what you need is a scatter file like this one and a recovery.
CWM + Carliv compiled by vampirefo: (x.9.x)Clockworkmod recovery (x.12.x)Clockworkmod recovery
TWRP V3.00 compiled by Neporood: (x.9.x)TWRP V3.00 recovery (x.12.x)TWRP V3.00 recovery(Coming soon)
- Open SP Flash tool and select the scatter file.
- in the recovery line, on the right side in the blank field, click and select your downloaded recovery.
- Click on the download button.
- Make sure your tablet is off, plug the USB cable first and then the power cable.
- SP Flash tool will flash the recovery and show you a lovely green check mark.
- Once that is done your recovery will be flashed.
** The stock system has a file in the system folder called "recovery-from-boot.p". this file flashes stock recovery randomly at boot so with a rooted system, navigate to the folder with a root capable explorer and delete the file so that your new recovery stays there.
** When rebooting from recovery, cwm will tell you to fix root. Don't. Select no every time.
For thos of you who want a file explorer in recovery, You can download this Aroma installer flashable
It's a nice tool to have...
Aroma comes from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108

ROMS
Not yet but soon.....

I'd swear I've seen all this somewhere before... lol
Good job, brother!

Now , let the roms...begin.....

woot ... just in time as I brought my Viking Pro home from Wallyworld Saturday night.
Any thoughts on ADB? I couldn't make it all the way through the other thread and eventually just gave up.... ended up figuring out Kingroot on my own and then just enabled ADB over wifi. Would much rather have a wired ADB solution as moving an APK (I'm a developer, duh) over wifi can be somewhat s-l-o-w.

Any plans to make a thread like this for the RCA Maven Pro (RCT6213W87DK)? It'd be really swell.
EDIT: Actually, with those sources you posted, I actually might be able to do this on my own.

I've got a Maven, and I've already done the porting. I'll be posting a guide tomorrow morning sometime. For now, I've sent you a PM with links to the firmware. Check your firmware version, mine is V36-1.9.21 (as long as you have the "9", you should be ok) The zip file has everything in it, preloader, scatter, custom recovery, etc...
Maven Guide is up, find it here

I can't get the port(s) to light up under OSX. I've tried a couple build.prop changes, plugging in micro usb, usb type a, power connector, and various combinations but none of them appear to trigger registration of a usb device of any kind on the host machine.
I can't even get simple stuff like MTP to work.

Time is my issue but I'm looking at two things. there is a firmware package i found on the Chinese server for a tablet with the model number rct6603w47dk with the same board as the viking pro but with a 8163 instead of the 8127. i think its doable to port over to our tablet. it is android 6. also the maven pro(rct6213w87dk) which is really close to our tablet with the same board but a larger screen, has adb working on it...

You should be getting a reaction through the micro usb port... on windows it shows up as a malfunctioning device.

i get nothing when sniffing the USB bus on my MBP.

I does the same thing on Ubuntu 14.04, absolutely nothing shows with "lsusb" in the terminal, unless it's in fastboot mode. You can use fastboot to flash the device, if you don't have access to a Windows machine...

I tested the new 1.9.3 firmware on my tablet... and it just shows a black screen.
DO NOT FLASH IT. it didn't work

What's the difference between sp_drive_v2.0_finally & mtk_sp_drivers_v2.0
Because I got the sp_drive install but having a problem with the mtk_sp , it keep popping up as incompatible software.... I'm stuck on the boot loader section

What version of Windows are you running..the difference is the drivers are signed or unsigned.. This matters more on newer versions of Windows.
