Ok after a 2-3 weeks of pain and miserably, I have managed to compile a
kernel which give us permanent root for Samsung Galaxy S Advance. There
is a little problem with this method. Cause I am a total beginner in
developing, my kernel has side affects. It makes phone reboots for no
reason, I think there is some problem with drivers. Don't worry I have
found a workaround. First you must flash my kernel to get root access,
that just flash original kernel back, and the root access is still
there, and the reboots are gone. Now you know why it is called ugly
method . When I'll have time I will try to provide 100% working kernel.
FIRST THIS WAS MADE FOR PHONES WITH
XXLD1 firmware (european) , but with help of testers now this method
also works on ZSDL1, VJLD1 DXLD1, DDLD4, JPLD3, ZSLE4, XXLD2 and XXLE2
firmware, I have add kernels for this firmwares (Step 10, of rooting
proces)! You are free to test it on other firmwares, just make sure you
have original firmware ready if something goes wrong
SECOND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!
Under normal circumstances it won't. If something goes wrong you can still flash original firmware with odin.
THIRD this can only be done in Windows.
Now the procedure
1. Download GT-I9070-root.rar, and extract it somewhere on you local disk.
2. From stuff you just extracted run program Odin3 v1.83.exe
3. Then open Settings in your phone, go to Aplications -> Development
and check USB Debugging and Allow mock locations. Both needs to be
Checked (Selected).
4. Turn off phone and turn it back on into Download mode, like this
press Volume Down + Home button + Power button, wait untill some
"strange" screen appers, put in usb cable and choose continue.
5. Now wait until Odin recognize your phone. It can take a while first
time, if you have problems search for samsung drivers on the internet,
6. Under PIT file browse for GT-I9070_EUR_XX_8G_20111220_KL6.pit, you have extracted this file before.
7. Under PDA choos rootkernel.tar.md5.
8. Then check what options are checked (Selected), be sure to UNCHECK
(remove selction) Re-Partition, Flash Lock, Phone EFS Clear, Phone
Bootloader Update! Only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time should be checked
(Selected)
9. When this is set just press Start and wait for phone to reboot.
10. Now repeat steps from 4 to 9, with one exception at step 7 now choose xxld1.tar.md5. For other firmwares you can download appropriate kernels here:
ZSLD1.tar.md5 (removed)
VJLD1.tar.md5. (removed
DXLD1.tar.md5 (removed)
DDLD4.tar.md5
JPLD3.tar.md5
ZSLE4.tar.md5
XXLD2.tar.md5
XXLE2.tar.md5
BULE2.tar.md5
DDLI1.tar.md5
DXLD2.tar.md5
PXXLD2.tar.md5
UBLD1.tar.md5
PXXLE1.tar.md5
DDLI1.tar.md5
I am very sorry to inform you but
since i only have free account on mediafire, some of my files where
removed by their administrators due to too many downloads .
If some body could gather all the files and provide alternative link
(but not dropbox, cause they have limited downloads as well, as far as I
know).
11. Download and install Superuser or SuperSU aplication from market
and enjoy the rooted phone! And you must also download Busybox to
install busyboxbinary. [Recommended way]
Or you can use Superoneclick, this tools push the Superuser aplication
to /system/app and it installs busybox binary. Just search this tools on
XDA.
Voila your phone should now be rooted. I will do my best to improve this method.
This wouldn't happened without a help of this people (THANK YOU GUYS!):
