Re: [GUIDE/ROOT/CWM-TOUCH] Samsung galaxy grand Duos GT-i9082

Please anyone can give me recovery.img from the latest firmware ???????
And please don't keep on flashing firmware if you will not get support to triangle away then forget about the warranty of your device !!!!


CURRENT STATUS of ROM:
-deodexed,ziapligned,rooted with busybox latest version,init.d support

the MAIN THING is that i made INK effect lockscreen work on our device !
will include it in the ROM !

Thank you for your efforts. I have a question for you: Is it possible to have the mass storage mode in the cwm? (or maybe in your custom rom)
And what about sdswap in your custom rom?

So do I need a Linux PC to do this..?

OK, will hold off the updating if the custom ROM is going to come in a couple of days :D
Looking forward to it ...

BTW are you in touch with Chainfire for adding support for our device in Triangle Away ?
Last news was that he'd promised to add support.:fingers-crossed:
yes u need linux and i installed ubuntu 10.04 in virtualbox in my windows pc. it works fine

---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 AM ----------

Can you provide us with a download link for the final .tar file you made?

It would be grately appreciated here :fingers-crossed: :good:
i will try to upload it.(my net is crappy) but it is better if u do it on ur pc. i can guide you with detailed instructions.
and i think mobileodin 3.57 should work fine so that u didnt increase ur custom bin count.

1. install ubuntu 10.04 in virtual box or cygwin should be sufficient
2.download
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/195932358/6fcceb8/I9082XXAMB3_I9082ODDMB2_INU.zip.html
(if u already hav this then ignore )
u can download on ur windows pc and then share it to ur virtual box linux.
3.rename it to tar.(right click and get rename)
4.extract with archiever. right click on tar and select extract here(default in most linux) i name the folder i9082
5.delete stock recovery.img
6.place chotu's recovery.img in that folder
7.go to the folder i9082. select all files . right click and select compress . select tar as a file type. click ok so now u have i9082.tar file
8.run these commands in terminal (open terminal in i9082.tar containing folder)
$md5sum -t i9082.tar >> i9082.tar
$mv i9082.tar i9082.tar.md5
now u have i9082tar.md5 with cwm recovery.

guys need help...

I bought Grand for gaming purpose but now when I tried playing HD games

like Nova 3, Modern Combat 3 & 4, Asphalt 6...it dosent play.

Sometime it crashes while loading and other time it all graphics are in pink or white...

So sad CF3D isn't compatible... :(

Asphalt 6 runs like charm in My Funbook nut when I try it on Grand...I feel like throwing it.

Is the Hardware of Grand to poor (Video Core IV) or its the problem of Jelly Bean??? Pls help any one...

but after a update from samsung it works properly (update about 21.1mb)

wait for custom rom,

Did you follow the method in the O.P, and with the same files/ links ?

Can you confirm that CWM is still present ?

Thanks!

Ok Guys I installed -
Build number: JZ054K.I9082XXAMAC
Baseband version I9082XXAMA9
Then I installed chotu222 recovery, Placed the latest SuperSU.zip on external SD card and everything works flawless.
The phone is rooted and works perfectly with no triangle and no binary count.

I turned the phone off and back on again to monitor the RAM usage just after startup, It was hovering between 560 - 580MB (Out of a usable 804MB)

I installed titanium backup and froze the following apps (71 in Total) which reduced the RAM usage to 370 - 390MB (Nearly 200MB less RAM usage)

I use swiftkey app for text, A different weather widget, and Google now instead of the S voice stuff. Everything still works fine after freezing all those apps. WIFI, Bluetooth etc. still work perfectly. The phone starts alot quicker, Is definitely alot smoother and uses nearly 200MB less RAM (Which is alot when the total is 804MB) I understand people may need some of these apps but just so people know that freezing them will have no adverse effects on your SGG. It will work perfectly fine if you do freeze them. Hope that's of use to people. :)

yes i did exactly as described in O.P. and CWM is still present :)

Good for you :)
I'm in a dilemma.....upgrade or wait for custom Rom ... :rolleyes:

I hope whatever custom Rom Chotu222 is developing will have a feature to install or move apps to external SD......this is most important at this time, with the crappy user memory of our device !

Hey Chotu222, can you post some 'coming soon' screen shots from your trials to satisfy us?

Thanks for the effort !

    F.A.Q's

    Here is revise procedure to install CWM recovery who are facing issues, even applied to me...lol

    Remove your back cover so that you can remove battery easily after ODIN flash
    Copy attached file in SDCard with the Root file available in OP

    Follow the process mentioned at OP...
    Now:-
    Untick or do not tick Auto Reboot in Odin..Follow rest process as per OP...
    Now exit ODIN...Remove mobile battery..
    Put back the battery...Press Volume Up + Power + Menu...This will take you to CWM recovery.

    Now:-
    Flash the file I have attached here (it will delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/etc/install-recovery.sh)
    Then flash the ROOT file available in OP..

    I have done this successfully and hopefully my CWM should stay back now.

    None of the patches made by me...So I donot have any credit rather finding the way to work CWM. Credit goes to original creator..

    Just HIT thanks if this helps.

    You are doing this on your own..So do not blame me for any harm...:laugh:
