Successfully Rooted Samsung galaxy pro duos GT-S7262
Hello All,
Disclaimer: Don't Blame me if anything undesirable happens to phone, Go to mirror and point at yourself
Tools Required : Windows Xp/7, Odin v3.07, adb commands essentials
I have managed to successfully root the Samsung GT-S7262 device.
This is split into two sections
1. unlocking your kernel
2. Pushing the superuser into the system and allowing apps in the mobile
Stage-1
Please use odin (Select PDA) and flash the attached boot.tar.md5 in the fastboot mode. (unzip the file to a desired location)
Check point-1
After flashing successfully, please connect the phone via usb and run
command.
You should see something like ro.secure=0 (if so then your kernel is unlocked)
Check point-2
connect via usb cable in the command prompt
type following commands one after other
Code:
adb shell
shell@android:/ $ /sbin/rootsh +p
shell@android:/ #
If you see the # symbol then you are rooted.
Stage-2 Pushing the Super user access.
Download the 3.1.3 version of chainsDD's superuser file and extract (su and Superuser.apk) in the c:\android (where the adb commands are in ur pc) from (
http://androidsu.com/superuser/)
run the following commands on after another
Code:
c:\>adb shell
shell@android:/ $ /sbin/rootsh +p
shell@android:/ #
shell@android:/ # mount -ro remount,rw /system
shell@android:/ # exit
shell@android:/ $ exit
Now change to following folder where adb tools and extract is present.
Code:
c:\> cd c:\android
c:\android>adb push su /system/bin
c:\android>adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
Now we need to change the ownership and group for the su and superuser
type following commands one after other
Code:
adb shell
shell@android:/ $ /sbin/rootsh +p
shell@android:/ #
shell@android:/ # mount -ro remount,rw /system
shell@android:/ # chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
shell@android:/ # chmod 0644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
shell@android:/ # chown 0:0 /system/bin/su
shell@android:/ # chown 0:0 /system/app/Superuser.apk
shell@android:/ # exit
shell@android:/ $ exit
c:\> adb reboot
Now after your phone reboots it should be rooted. Tested with my device 100% working.
