CF-Auto Rooter and the App that us the Exynos Error are two different things...

Use the CF-Auto Rooter in first Post and then Triangle Away ... it works very fine on my GC with 4.1.2 :good:

I already did... I tried several ways for the past few hours...

My original ROM was stock 4.1.1 rooted.
I fwiped, flashed stock 4.1.2, CF Auto Root, Triangle Away, then factory reset.
When I went to download mode, the status displayed correctly as official, but the counter still not back to 0.

Re: How to root your Galaxy Camera

Here goes...

Stock 4.1.1 (I flashed back from 4.1.2)
CF Auto Root
Triangle Away 2.60

I'm trying to make my SGC back to factory default... so after binary counter back to 0, i'm planning to unroot and wipe.

that means triangle away setting (reset counter on every boot) is out of question.

as you can see, all the status back to official, I even can connect to OTA server (still have CF Auto Root).
but the counter can't back to 0.

I temporarily rooted my Camera and also couldn't get it to be completely un-rooted. I finally installed Kies on my Windows box (which takes forever as it is insanely bloated), but it had an option to force install factory firmware which I used to get it back to factory state (it was a little hard to find - I had to page through various menus to discover it). This was in the US with an AT&T version of the camera.

Warning
This cannot hurt your device because full recovery is simply a 1.1gig Odin flash away.

You Will Need:

A windows computer (or heimdall built from source and the files included in the package)

The Recovery+Cache which will flash upon installation. Get it here: http://download.chainfire.eu/283/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-gd1-ekgc100.zip

The Odin version used is Version 1.85. Get it here: https://rapidshare.com/files/2195283307/Odin3_v1.85.zip

Use JellyBean 4.1.1 build:GC100XXALK1 in case of problems. Get it here: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/179234447/22b9bab/GC100XXALK1_GC100OLBALJB_THL.zip.html

Instructions:

unzip the CF-Auto-Root-gd1-ekgc100.tar.md5 from the zip package to a place you can find it.

Hi could someone put the bulb option in this camera? Long exposure surely will bring the galaxy camera to the fullest.

thanks

I put up CASUAL nightles of this. You need Java. Just download and run the CASUAL on Windows, Linux, or Mac and you will be set.

Hey, I know you're not obligated to help but if there's anything you can do to add to support for the Verizon version I'd be really grateful. The recent update has disabled every tethering app I know and I'm desperately trying to rollback to the previous update.

Thanks!

Used the rom stated in the first post and now i can't upgrade, not through update nor Kies.

Going to try to use another rom and then root then update.

This thread is outdated but being there are so few and the title talks about root I wanted to note in here that I rooted my Verizon gc120 (with what appears to be a locked bootloader) with Framaroot (Aragorn). This root appears to be made by the same person that exploited the Exynos Abuse apk with chainfire.

It's possible Casual for gc100 will root our verizon gc120 as well but I hadn't gotten to that yet...

This never worked with GC 110 or 120. This is for GC100 and it's not outdated.

So the thread is dated not outdated. My bad on the terminology.

No where did it say it never worked with GC 110 or 120. What I said was it's "possible" it will work for them but that I had not gotten to try it yet.

I will move the information for rooting the GC 120 out of your thread.
