Did you type these lines through the android terminal? (Did you flash system.img without superuser and copied superuser.apk later?)
I used adb shell and yes. I deleted superuser.apk (FC problems) but Google play didn't allow to install superuser in "default location" so I copied superuser.apk on sdcard, enabled rw on system partition, copied apk to /system/app and chmod 644 superuser app

Hi there and thanks for this tuto... so hard to find something about the GT-i8160P !
Hi used Odin method on Windows 7: it seems to be rooted but Titanium Backup never get the root permission and there's nothing in superuser... in fact, any root request goes for a force close in the app.
Any idea ?

Is there any method to save CSC from the phone? In samfirmware my providers's (Telenor Hungary) rom is not available and product code can be checked in the service...
Szaby, may you have this
You can but it's not 100% it copies several files, folders to /system partition
T9DB, CSCFiles.txt, CSCVersion.txt, SW_Configuration.xml also if you have different bootanimation you should backup /system/media/bootanimation.zip.
What your software version exactly ?

I managed to test my modified file, and i didn't get root access. I installed superuser from google play and superuser confirm that I have su binary installed (v.3.1.1), but when a program tries to gain root access the phone freezes.
I tried to integregrate superuser.apk in system.img and I get the same result.
I tried to mount system as rw in adb with the command: mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system, but it doesn't work.
I only need root to remove samsung bloatware. If I delete app directly from system.img, the counter will increase ?
And if someone know how to rezolve this problem please give all the commands for adb.

There's a "SU update fixer" app on google play, if there's a fixer it must be well-known bugs...
I get it and launch it, it says that there's no bug and root access avaible but when I force the fix, it freezes on root check.

- do not integrate superuser.apk with system.img
- uninstall superuser from Google Play
- copy superuser.apk from root_package.zip to internal sdcard
Here are adb commands: (on polish forum we had same problems and it seems that worked - soraxx found out it)
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
cp /sdcard/superuser.apk /system/app
chmod 644 /system/app/superuser.apkThen everything should be ok. Tested personally.
Read the post that is above this one.
If you don't have adb install adb easy for example...

No, android terminal emulator or whatever "on-phone" won't work, because he needs root access. It can be done only through pc using adb.
Yep. Permission denied. Autofail. you could provide a link to download adb for people who doesn't have Android sdk (programs like adbEasy)
Need debug mode enabled!!!

Thanks mastermind. I managed to successfully root the phone.
Who uses my file must follow the adb commands posted by mastermind.

I had some time so I investigated this SuperUser issue.
The problem was with this command:
It's not needed to set owner (especially not root) for superuser.
Sorry my mistake
Now should work.

Without that step it should work or not? Should I reupload Odin files?I had some time so I investigated this SuperUser issue.

This could be complicated if you never used any Linux os, however with this method you can root your phone without increasing the flash counter.
Kernel, recovery, etc. will be the same as in original samsung roms, we will flash a modified (pre-rooted) system.img.
For prerooted system images and csc files see 2nd post!
Requirements:
Linux - Ubuntu 12 recommended (a virtual one will also do the job)
Windows with Odin for flashing
Patience
References:
Ext4Utils
Insipred by: Expert root method which does not increase the flash counter
First of all download your original rom from: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3
1, Create a "samsung" directory on your linux filesystem -> "home/username" folder where username is your linux username.
2, Extract the downloaded firmware, then move system.img.md5 and cache.img.md5 to home/username/samsung dir.
(root_package.zip and ext4utils.zip also extract here)
3, Open a terminal window, and enter:
Code:sudo mkdir /mnt/system
Type the root password and enter.
4, Now set current dir to samsung directory and mount the system image:
Code:cd /home/username/samsung mv system.img.md5 system.img.ext4 make ./simg2img system.img.ext4 system.img sudo mount system.img /mnt/system
if you get error when executiong "make" type:
Code:sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
5, The original system image has been mounted, now extract su binary and superuser.apk to samsung dir then, enter:
I suggest only su binary to include in /system, SuperUser can be installed later!
Code:sudo cp su /mnt/system/bin/su
6, Now we have to adjust the permissions:
For SU binary:
Code:sudo chown root:root /mnt/system/bin/su sudo chmod 06755 /mnt/system/bin/su
For SuperUser app:
Code:sudo chmod 644 /mnt/system/app/superuser.apk
7, Unmount the image:
Code:sudo umount /mnt/system
or if it's not working:
Code:sudo umount system.img
8, Now create md5 hashes:
Code:md5sum -t system.img>>system.img mv system.img system.img.md5
if you get "permission denied" first:
Code:sudo chown username:username system.img
9, Create falshable tar and md5 hashes for odin package:
Code:tar cf system_rooted.tar system.img.md5 md5sum -t system_rooted.tar>>system_rooted.tar mv system_rooted.tar system_rooted.tar.md5
As you remember we copied the cache.img.md5 also, that's because we need to flash this as a separated CSC package.
10, Creating CSC package.
Code:tar cf csc.tar cache.img.md5 md5sum -t csc.tar>>csc.tar mv csc.tar csc.tar.md5
11, Now open Odin and select system_rooted.tar.md5 as PDA, and csc.tar as csc.
Check: Auto reboot and F. Reset Time.
Enjoy your rooted phone.
NOTES:
After flashing phone will boot in recovery mode to apply csc, then reboots automatically to normal mode.
If you download different rom than already have on the device first flash the unmodified samsung tar as PDA.6PRE-ROOTED ROMs
(Only modified system and csc - if Superuser not included download manually from Play store or install from sdcard)

SuperUser FIX for pre-rooted rom (only if you have problems): View
FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS
0, Download odin from 1st post, extract the downloaded (pre-rooted) rom.
1, Open odin and select csc.tar.md5 (or something like that it's a smaller file max. 20 MB) as CSC.
2, Select the other file (possibly system.tar.md5 or pda.tar.md5, it's 500+ MB) as PDA.

Zippyshare PART 1
Zippyshare PART 22Ok i flashed the 1ghz kernel + recovery without increasing flash counter !!!!
How did i do that ?
1) get you phone rooted
2) download the 1ghz kernel from this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27696948&postcount=47
3) Put the kernel.bin.md5 file to /sdcard
4) apply the folowing command (using adb or terminal emulator) :
Code:$ su # dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 # reboot
5) reboot your phone
