WARNING: Do not use this procedure for any other device than the GT-I9192 (the dual sim model)!!!
This rooted kernel is for the XXUAMF7 stock ROM and it may or may not work correctly with other stock versions.
This root/recovery was only tested on EURO / AFRICA models of the I9192. Other regions may not be compatible.
Onto the procedure:
- Download and extract the kernel, recovery & ODIN flashing utility "ROOT_I9192_CWM6_Kernel.zip" and save it to your computer from here. The recovery image was initially created by arco68 (thanks and credits go to him for the recovery!)
- Download and copy the "GT-I9192-RootKit-v2.zip" to your device SD card, from here.
- Turn off the phone.
- Press and hold home, volume down and power. Download screen should appear.
- Connect USB cable, and press volume up.
- Start Odin, make sure "F. Reset Time" is not checked, and then click PDA button to select the recovery image.
- Select "ROOT_I9192_CWM6_Kernel.tar" file, and press Start button. The phone will reboot when finished flashing a new kernel and recovery.
- Reboot into recovery mode and select the option to install the ZIP file you have previously copied to your device and begin flashing it.
- After flashing using CWM, reboot into system and enjoy your rooted device.
Root procedure functionality:
Code:
- Root access (obviously)
- Insecure boot process (early adb/logcat, QtAdb support, adb root support)
- Insecure kernel (disabled Samsung setuid prevention mechanisms - credits go to arco68!)
Note: After rooting you will get notifications about applications doing not permitted actions. This is a good thing, meaning that Samsung has properly implemented the security features of this device, features that we are trying to defeat. To get rid of this notification freeze/disable or remove the following three packages:
Code:
- KNOXAgent.apk
- KNOXStore.apk
- ContainerAgent.apk
That's it, you warranty is now void! Have fun with your device! And keep those thanks coming to show your support for the device development.
Cheers,
C.
