Hi, thank you very much for your tutorial. It works, but I stumbled upon some difficulties, and sharing them might be helpful for some who hasn't root their Galaxy S Duos yet.
Firstly I didn't have enough space on my SD card for the back up. It looks like the whole system is being backed up, not only the stock ROM, but all the programs that are installed so far as well, so I needed about 2 GB.
Secondly when I restarted the device after the failed back up to free some space and then restarted back to clockworkmod recovery, it was the stock recovery mode, but I couldn't spot this except for the fact that the Back & Restore was missing. It looks like if the device is restarted after being once in the custom clockworkmod recovery, goes back automatically to the stock recovery. On the custom one there is a drawing of a "tom hat" in the middle of the display.
Thirdly, when I tried to flash back to the custom clockworkmod recovery, I couldn't do it, since I wasn't removing the battery at the exact moment, or unplugging the cable after removing the battery. Just to make sure that the flash was successful: 1) remove the battery as soon as the device starts vibrating; 2) unplug the USB cable from the device 3) wait a couple of seconds 4) when you put back the battery, the device should not boot it self automatically. You should either press the power button or go to custom clockworkmod recovery mode directly if you have the needed space and files for the rest of the process.
Thanks again. Cheers!

Our Own Forum for Samsung Galaxy S duos s7562
Why are we not bidding for our own forum space. S Duos is quite a popular phone now. atleast in asia. I guess development would be faster if there's a S Duos dedicated forum. else there is lot of replication same information.

Got some problem on step 17 actually it no Backup & Restore string appear in recovery menu.Something wrong with my phone or what ?
You've to eject the battery out when cwm is flashed, otherwise stick recovery will be reflashed and backup option won't appear.
Keep the key combination pressed until the phone powers on.
No,I haven't seen any such thing for ics our above.
Yes, obviously.
Format your sdcard and then try again.
Thanx work now. Bur got new problem. Can't install any file. Now i got this Can't mount /emmc for exter Can't mount /sdcard
it looks like something wrong with me ))))

1 - That's weird, don't have any idea about that.
2 - Use the internal and external sdcard swapping mod. By doing that, your external sdcard is your new internal sdcard and so, the option to move apps to internal sdcard can be put into use. www.droidiser.com/2012/11/swap-internal-sdcard-external-mod-android.html
Edit: swapping doesn't work on s duos with that mod. Use "Root internal 2 external sd" app, that might work for the same result.
I haven't heard about any custom ROM for s duos.

65Hello everyone!
I recently blogged a really simple guide on how you can easily root the Samsung Galaxy S Duos (model number S7562). The method uses ODIN flashing tool. It will also help you flash CWM to your device so that you can take nandroid backups and flash ZIPs easily. As directed by the mods, I am adding a shorter version of the guide here, don't have the time to type it down all again (and I don't like ctrl+v). You an always refer to the full guide.
Download S Duos rooting kit: http://d-h.st/BtL
Install drivers using kies
Boot into downloading mode by pressing Vol down + Power + Home button when you are switched off.
Open odin from the rooting kit and using odin, flash recovery.tar file (also present in rooting kit)
Just as the phone vibrates (after the flashing process completes) to reboot, eject the battery to prevent stock recovery from overwriting the cwm we just flashed.
Boot into cwm and flash cwm-superuser-3.1.3.zip file (again, present in the rooting kit)
Reboot your device and enjoy your rooted S DUos.
:highfive:
If you are an Android newbie, check out What rooting is?
Disclaimer: You and only you are responsible for whatever happens to our device during or after the procedure.
You just have to download a rooting kit which contains odin, superuser, CWM recovery and the stock recovery. After you have installed the drivers for your device on your PC, cwm is flashed via odin. And finally, flashing superuser.zip using the clockwork mod recovery will root your phone.
A simple note in the guide makes it easy for you to unroot the device. It even includes the stock recovery image which can be flashed in case you want to restore your warranty.
What are you waiting for, give the tutorial a try now.

It seems you are installing ZIP from stock recovery.
Kindly follow proper steps as per mentioned in web page by OP.
You must have to have CWM Recovery to let SU install successfully.
Otherwise it won't install.

No, its not like that.
I have flashed this in two devices running 4.0.4 FW.
