which model?

i think i know...maybe qzem is trying to get it work on Galaxy S Advance...
logically, it should not work, since the ROOT.tar is built based on Galaxy Ace Plus's own boot.img... however, i am very interested to know how do you manage to modify the boot.img to allow access to DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit for rooting purposes... that might help cos i'm actually has started researching rooting methods for Samsung new phones, since i planned to buy Galaxy S Advance as well..

You are right, man I am searching and trying every way to root Galaxy S I9070 Advace . Ben even unpacking and repacking system.img.d5, but with no success. Problem is I don't have enaugh knowlage in this, and I don't use linux, everything I did so far was in windows in Cygwin and on the phone it self when the shell was needed. Maybe we could put our heads together and figure this thing out ! You can PM, if you have any good ideas. I was playing with a thought of installing linux vitualy, and make some enviroment for compiling this android stuff. I have some knowlage about computers since I am computer engineer, but i work as system administrator in windows based environment.
Cheers

Well the steps are very easy & it should work on any android phone not just samsung phones.
First unpack the stock boot.img of your device.
Then open the default.prop file and set
ro.secure=0
ro.debuggable=1
persist.service.adb.enable=1
and save the file.
Now repack the boot image and tar it.
Then you can flash it via Odin
The changes give us root access to adb shell and we can push the su binary and Superuser.apk via adb.
But if you are lazy then run any of the available rooting tools which copy the necessary files via adb(eg Doomlord's toolkit)

whoa...quite simple...thanks bro...but i seemed to read somewhere that everytime our phone reboots, especially for Samsung phones, it will read everything back from the boot.img, so as this exploit is quite simple, will the root stick? sorry for the crudeness of the question...im quite a noob in android development as well..haha...

If using a root browser such as root explorer i make any changes to the files in the boot partition such as init.rc or default.prop then the changes will not persist after a reboot as the phone reads everything back from the original boot.img.
But if we change the the original boot.img(that is what we are doing here) and flash it then the changes will persist.

i see...thanks for the explanation...good job with the root guide for Ace Plus...
To qzem, yeah...im quite as much noob as most of the users here in xda...but maybe we have to do this in a Linux environment, cos i read somewhere for ROM making, its quite difficult to use Windows... now for me, rooting our Galaxy S Advance is quite probable, just that learning how to use Ubuntu just for making these exploits is quite unnerving... there are quite thorough guide for unpacking and repacking those .img files, but you have to be familiar with Linux...

How to unpack and repack boot.img? Is there any useful guide here. Can I pull boot.img straight from my phone or can I extract it from firmware (.tar file) on my pc, and how? Or do I need kernel source code, to compile insecure kernel? Thanks for your help!

now i have definitely run into some confusion here...your guide in remaking the boot.img is very clear, but the problem now is that i can't figure out where is boot.img located in Galaxy S Advance firmwares...all i have are system.img, cache.img, hidden.img, kernel.bin and modem.bin... is it in the kernel.bin? if so, how do i extract it?

Im not sure but i think unpacking tools are same as boot.img.There are many guides available online

i see...how do u manage to get CWM working for Ace Plus? do we have to root 1st for flashing CWM, cos i remember that it is not necessary... what are the files we need to port CWM to other devices?

You can use SC01F's rooting method.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2482672
notice. you can't use SC01F' rooted rom!
you need to make rooted system form SC02F official ROM by yourself.
Thank you.

Thanks for the answer ,
I have already CWM recovery installed and it works to boot into it and also making the stock ROM backup. So I can install zip files through CWM. I ve installed " update SuperSu 1.65 zip" and by reboot ask to CWM to root the device.
Now when I open the SuperSu App it wants to update but it cannot in normal mode and asks me if I want to try in CWM .... I really would if I had
a decent SuperSU zip-file to do this... compatible to my phone.
Strange is that Titanium Backup gets root power but any other apps as ROM Manager or ROOT Explorer don't.
The info u gaved me with the SC01F means a total different method with other apps and software to install and I feel like being only half on the way too completely root the device .
Actually I would like an advice from this point ..
Thank u in advance

1. Download SC02FOMUBNB3 from sammobile.com http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=26431
2. Download make_rooted_system tool from github https://github.com/kbc-developers/make_rooted_system/releases
3. (In linux PC) adding stock rom' files
(dir)
├ bin/
├ config/
├ img/
│ └SC02F
│ ├cache.img <- adding from SC02FOMUBNB3
│ └system.img.ext4 <- adding from SC02FOMUBNB3
├ sed/
│ readme.txt
├ install_su
├ make_rooted_factoryfs.sh
└ user_custom.sh
4. run "make_rooted_factoryfs.sh" in terminal
-> rooted system is in out/SC02F directory
5. flash rooted system by using Odin3
it is possible to change in CWM if CWM install first.
but I don't prepare it, because I want to use felica.
if you want, make cwm.zip yourself from make_rooted_system's binaries and scripts.

@Dintisor
Sorry I'm not well English.
At first,
"su" and "busybox" is delited by /init at boot time.
this is the reason , you couldn't get root.
so you need copy it from anywhere at boot time.
/system/bin/kiesexe or /systembin/mfescand called by init on root.
replace it to custom script.
and then,
you can get rooting at every boot.

Galaxy SC-02F
Thank you very much guys.
I am not so good to cook myself a rooted ROM
Beside I only have Windows machines not a Linux one
I've managed to root the device using CMD
and the SC02F_ROOT.7z in the first post of this thread.
After that I used Region Unlock 1.3 from chainfire and its working perfect
on Calls , SMS and mobile data in Europe.
But I don't have MMS , Video Calls and SMS delivery report options.
I have also a SimToolkit proper to my mobile provider wich is not shown in the apps.
All this above options are available on my mobile network just don't know how to
make them enabled on this device. Eventually if I have to flash a new radio if is somebody
nice to explain what radio could I flash , maybe compatibles from Note 3 Asia devices.
Thank you

Is it somehow possible to reset the install and get it bak to normal? I have also the odin program. can I do something to get the phone working again?

okay, listen. the first step is download the stock rom. in the link at the bottom of this post is a list of firmwares for i9000. choose the one from your region, and download it, (or i can give you a link to my firmware, its international, so it will almost certasinly work. you might have to unzip the downloaded file, but only once. inside should be a folder withe the firmware name. go into the folder, you shouild see
a bunch of files.
then go to odin, connect you phone in download mode,navigate to the folder with the firmware folders, then:
Click on “PDA” and select file with “CODE” in its name.
Click on “Phone” and select file with “MODEM” in its name. (Note: Ignore this step if you don’t able to find such file)
Click on “CSC” and select file with “CSC” in its name. (Note: Ignore this step if you don’t able to find such file)
Click on “PIT” and select “.pit” file. (Note: Ignore this step if you don’t able to find such file)
press start, and hopefully your phone will be back working again.

press thanks if i helped!

Hi and thanks for your reply:good:
I was to download my stock file (region TEN), but i just came to something called rapid gator, and i entered wrong werificatin code, and was told that I have to wait one hour before trying again.. suppose thats a method for getting folks to pay for service. but why do samsung do such a thing?..
anyway, i would highly appreciate if you can send me the stock ROM

Now I was able to get the system up and runing again. I guess it has been changed since you been doing this.
I simply unzipped the package for my region and placed the zip file that was not going to unzip. When I placed this in Odin, at the pda button, it showed a *.md5 file. Set the phone in download mode, and it did the rest itself
But the reason I began doing this was that the phone dont read the sim card, and I was hoping for software malfunction, but I guess I wasnt that lucky.
Anyone who knows how I can get it to read the sim again?

[DOWNLOAD] SM-T337A Lollipop Firmware FINALLY Available For Download

I managed to pull some files together including the .pit file from my now working tablet and make a fully working 4 file firmware and combo (all in one) firmware that CAN be flashed with Odin. I have tested it on my device and it does work. Since I know people are searching EVERYWHERE for this, I have released a download link for these files below.
Please, feel free to re-post this anywhere, just be sure to credit me.
DISCLAIMER (Obviously): I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE AFTER FLASHING. KEEP IN MIND THAT ANYTHING CAN GO WRONG, EVEN IF YOU'RE FLASHING FIRMWARE THAT IS MADE FOR YOUR DEVICE. THE FIRMWARE AVAILABLE BELOW HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED, ENGINEERED, OR EDITED IN ANY WAY TO CHANGE THE FUNCTIONALITY OF YOUR DEVICE. IF YOUR DEVICE BRICKS AFTER FLASHING, IT'S ALL ON YOU.
Flashing instructions:
But first, the requirements:
1) SM-T337A, Obviously, but seriously, I can't stress how important it is that you check that your model number is matched with the model number in this thread before flashing anything.
2) A Windows pc (NOT A VIRTUAL MACHINE! Using a VM to flash your device has a high chance to hard-brick your tab, and make sure your computer is running Windows XP or newer.)
3) Your device's USB transfer/charging cable
4) A Brain (Obviously)
Now then, the actual steps (4 File Firmware):
1) Boot your tab into download mode (Shut the device down completely, then hold down the power, volume down, and home button at the same time until a warning message appears)
2) Download and open Odin on your pc
3) Grab the USB charging cable and plug your tab into your pc
4) If Odin does not show your device in the list (It will display an "Added" message if the device is detected) download the Samsung USB Drivers for Mobile Phones and install it to your pc. You may need to/and it is recommended to restart your computer after installing the drivers.
5) Extract the zip file you downloaded containing the firmware to your desktop or a memorable place on your computer.
6) If you wish to wipe your data and start from scratch, click on the 'PIT' tab and select the .pit file in the extracted folder. Then, click the 'OPTIONS' tab and select 'Re-Partition' and 'NAND Erase All'.
7) Insert the firmware files into Odin. Within Odin, for instance, Click on the 'BL' button, which is where the bootloader file goes. Select the extracted package that has 'BL' at the beginning, and vice versa.
Example:
BL: *directory*/BL_T337AUCU2BOH4...
AP: *directory*/AP_T337AUCU2BOH4...
CP: *directory*/CP_T337AUCU2BOH4...
CSC: *directory*/CSC_ ATT_T337AUCU2BOH4...
8) Once done, verify that you have correctly done all the steps above, click 'Start' in Odin and wait for Odin to output a "PASS" message before unplugging anything.
9) If you wish to flash the firmware, but keep your data, make sure that there is no .pit file in Odin, make sure that 'Re-Partition' and 'NAND Erase All' are unchecked, and make sure that there is no file inserted under the 'CSC' row.
Tutorial (Combo Firmware)
1) Boot your tab into download mode (Shut the device down completely, then hold down the power, volume down, and home button at the same time until a warning message appears)
2) Download and open Odin on your pc
3) Grab the USB charging cable and plug your tab into your pc
4) If Odin does not show your device in the list (It will display an "Added" message if the device is detected) download the Samsung USB Drivers for Mobile Phones and install it to your pc. You may need to/and it is recommended to restart your computer after installing the drivers.
5) Extract the zip file you downloaded containing the firmware to your desktop or a memorable place on your computer.
6) Within Odin, Select 'AP' and browse to the directory where you extracted the firmware, and select the .tar package in the directory. There should be nothing else under the other tabs, only 'AP' should have a firmware package in it.
7) Flashing this package (unless you perform the "Developers Tip" at the end of this thread) will wipe all of your data, so be sure that the proper .pit file that came with the firmware package is selected under the 'PIT' tab in Odin and make sure that 'Re-Partition' and 'NAND Erase All' are checked in Odin to ensure a complete wipe of all personal data on the device. If you perform the developers tip at the end of the thread, simply insert the new package you created under 'AP', make sure there is no .pit file under the PIT slot, and make sure that 'Re-Partition' and 'NAND Erase All' are unchecked in Odin.
8) Once done, verify that everything is set and ready-to-go, then click 'Start' and wait for Odin to output a "PASS" message before unplugging anything.
9) Enjoy!
WARNING: If you are seeing sites that charge you money for the files, DO NOT BUY IT. They are scams and I HIGHLY SUGGEST AVOIDING THESE SITES. I didn't have to buy anything. If you do buy the firmware from these scam sites, and your device becomes bricked or messed up in some way, don't say I didn't warn you.

If the link doesn't work or goes down for some reason or if you were confused by my instructions in any way, please let me know.
Developers Tip: If you want to flash firmware without wiping your data, make sure there is no pit file selected under the PIT tab in Odin, then extract your firmware package (extract everything into a separate folder for combo firmware, extract the CSC package for 4 file downloads) and remove cache.img.ext4 then repack as a .tar file. Applies to both combo and 4 file firmware packages. In 4 file packages, cache.img.ext4 is in the CSC file. However, in some cases this may put your device in a bootloop. If you wish to do this on an older device and the cache file doesn't have the .ext4 extension at the end, don't worry, it'll work the same way.
Now that you have the firmware, WHY NOT ROOT IT? Check out my thread on how to do so here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/root-how-to-root-sm-t337a-supersu-t3553848

Does anyone know the process for extracting the files like this from an OTA update? I have some files I would like to extract from another OTA. Thank you

I'll be honest and say its not easy. Making this firmware took me about 3 months. OTA update files are very different from actual Odin firmware files. If you want to extract the files from an OTA update, I just used 7Zip and went from there.

Lollipop 5.1.1 Root for SM-T337A
@KingOfTheNet - Great stuff. There are definitely some shady sites out there offering firmware for the T337A so thank you.
Not to be greedy but any recommendations on rooting 5.1.1 on SM-T337A. I am trying to remove all of the Samsung and AT&T bloatware and get my Tab 4 running lean and mean. I am pretty sure I went with your firmware - my build number is listed as LMY47X.T337AUC2BOH4.
Appreciate the support.

Your welcome bro, happy to help! I have actually rooted my tab with SuperSU, fully working. The only thing is its temporary, and I avoid rebooting or shutting the device down at all because it's a system-less SuperSU (meaning temporary). I'll make a thread on how to achieve root on this tab later tomorrow when I get home from work, unless someone replies to this before I do (It's late where I'm at).
Cheers!

Hello! ... First of all, thank you for all your hard work! But unfortunately that firmware does not seem to work for me. I'm a little newbie, so I'd appreciate if someone could explain the steps to follow specifically with Odin, as a tutorial or something ... so that I can distinguish what I'm doing wrong.
I uploaded a short video so you can see what I mean... If you could take the time to watch it and tell me what I'm doing wrong, that would be awesome.
Here it is: youtu.be/9JsLVJ-xHMA (I cannot post direct link since I'm new user)

I've downloaded some files with name ATT_T337AUCU2BOH4_T337AATT2BOH4.zip (1.19gb) put by poorusernamebychoice and their tar.md5 file is gone 404.
Now i need some help here, this zip contains:
AP_T337AUCU2BOH4_T337AATT2BOH4_HOME.tar
BL_T337AUCU2BOH4_T337AATT2BOH4_HOME.tar
CP_T337AUCU2BOH4_T337AATT2BOH4_HOME.tar
CSC_T337AUCU2BOH4_T337AATT2BOH4_HOME.tar
MILLETLTE_USA_ATT.pit
This is big file so now I'm stuck what to do or i start a fresh download from above links.

Do you mean you need to re-download the files or you need help with flashing them? Dl links are at the middle of the thread.

It's actually very easy, that's why I didn't put any instructions in the thread, I just assumed people knew how to do it by now. But I'm happy to provide instructions to those people who don't know how. Instead of posting said instructions right here, I'll update the thread with instructions.
Cheers!

No, this thread is for the Tab 4 8.0 AT&T. Please make sure you consult the relevant forums for your device model as doing anything meant to be done on different devices can be catastrophic.

Finally got the instructions up. You can check the very beginning of the thread for instructions on flashing. Just remember, I will not be held responsible if your device is bricked after the matter.

Question features missing

how do i get the samsung screen recorder and secure folder on my a226b and or any other samsung ad i dont have them for some reason and i would like to know if theres any universal twrp or odin thing to flash that would gove them back or maybe secret setting to enable or apk to install

There Isn't a screen recorder or secure folder on the SM-A226B you can use calculator+ and flash a android 13 GSI to use the screen recorder.

You can enable screenrecorder by modifiying some lines in /system/etc/floating_feature.xml
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_SUPPORT_SCREEN_RECORDER>TRUE</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_SUPPORT_SCREEN_RECORDER>
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_SCREEN_RECORDER_ITEM>-pip</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_SCREEN_RECORDER_ITEM>
Without spaces. If there is already the value simply change to this. I'm working on a way to enable secure folder in my free time. First tests were successful however there are still some problems. I'm extracting files from A13 5G (SM-A136B) because it has the same chipset as A22 5G and has secure folder

thanks!!!! will this work on any other phone other than a226b?
and do you know of any file manager app that can actually edit system files (i have a good one called filemanager+ but it can only read even if i do mount -o remount,rw /

Yes, it should. If this doesn't work there is another line that may need to be changed. Make sure you have at least one ui 3. Updating Samsung Capture may be required (https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu.../samsung-capture-5-4-22-android-apk-download/) Let me know.
I do not know any good file manager because I modify system files with Magisk. You can use termux. Pull file to pc or use quick edit on phone.

um how can i fix "system partition doesnt have enough free space" when trying to convert newer samsung capture to system app

You don't need to convert. Just update with apk when phone on. Like every app. I made a mistake in the link. I fixed it. The file should exist on every Samsung one ui device.

oh bruh i deleted system app and reinstalled

An apk of Samsung capture must remain in the /system partition in order to get priv-app permissions
I recommend you to reinstall original firmware (One UI 5.1 if it is available in your region) then modify floating_feature.xml.
This file is placed in every samsung device in /system/etc/floating_feature.xml
You do not have to create nothing. Just modify it add that lines. In my firmware (official one UI 5.1) the second line is already placed in the file. So I simply added:
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_SUPPORT_SCREEN_RECORDER>TRUE</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_SUPPORT_SCREEN_RECORDER>
in the middle of the file

i still didnt have the file i made it and updated capture but didnt get screen recorder even after reboot :/ am on android 11 and im not updating especially as theres bootloader update

For me it is working. The file floating_feature.xml needs to exist. if it doesn't exist this means your firmware version is old and it doesn't have modern one UI. I don't know how I can help you more
