FAQ


AFTER ROOTING I CAN'T SEE SUPERSU APPLICATION?


As some people reported there is sometimes problem with the rooting procedure
files can't be extracted properly (applications,binaries) so from today
(04.08.2012) in every new update there will be an extra second alternative root
zip file recognized with the letter "b" in the end of the version number. As always
in life we must have a B PLAN. In this root zip file package it will be only the
SuperSu application and the supersu binary, no Busybox or anything else. So if
the rooting procedure from above didn't work for you then you should run again in
recovery mode the universal_gb_unroot_v13.zip to delete all the half extracted
files from the root procedure previously done. After that you can apply
universal_gb_root_v34b.zip known as Root Only.

IMPORTANT: If for some reason after rooting with the universal_gb_root_v34b.zip
want to install Busybox then when you open the application it will give you a
location to install busybox to /system/bin (this is for the reason becouse there is
no busybox binary in this root zip file) you just need to simply relocate the
installation to /system/xbin (to relocate the path simply press on the text
/system/bin it will open a new window and change it to /system/xbin) . This is
for a reason becouse in the future you might want to remove busybox and many
times happend that it can't be uninstalled properly leaving all the applets in bin
folder mixing the files with the system files from your Android OS. Then you need
to install root explorer and delete all the applets manualy and trust me is a painful
job. So the problem it will be solved very quickly by installing in /system/xbin. if
you don't like it to have anymore later just use the procedure for unroot (READ:
HOW CAN I UNROOT MY PHONE?) universal_gb_unroot_v13.zip it will delete all
the remaining stuff from busybox in /system/xbin and use again the
universal_gb_root_v34b.zip to root.

THERE IS NO SU BINARY AFTER ROOT?


From today (02.05.2012) I can proudly present the third update zip
universal_gb_c.c.b.s.f_v11.zip. C.C.B.S.F stand for "Cleanup Carrier Branded
System Files" What makes this package very interesting is allowing you to cleanup
your System files (applications) from your branded carrier provider such as Shops,
Music, Web Launchers, Widgets...Games: Tetris,Sims3 etc ...making free space in
the system partition ROM (not internal memory) so later the root installation can
take place and have a successfully rooted phone. This package will clean up most
of the carrier providers like:

IMPORTANT: The universal_gb_c.c.b.s.f_v11.zip can be applied in recovery like the
rest of the zip files for root and unroot. It will delete all Carrier Branded System
Files (Applications) without to interfere with the system files of Samsung Stock
ROM's all functions will work normally only the applications from the carrier
branded apps will be deleted. In order to bring them back you need to unroot your
phone and make a Factory Reset and all will be back as usual. This zip file should
be only applied if you have Carrier Provider Phone (like the above list already
mentioned) and can't root the phone because of the carrier apps making a full
capacity of the Android OS (system partition).

I HAVE TRY ALL THE ABOVE METHODS NOTHING IS WORKING?

Chapter I
-Removing Quickoffice-

Well some Stock Firmwares have been made that in the system partition you
cannot even copy via recovery a single file. So my task for searching has begun
and finally I found the bug to solve the problem. In many Stock Firmwares they
put Quickoffice application, this stock firmwares in some cases are very
problematic to make root on them. So here is the solution in very simple steps
how to make a free space for rooting. Apply in recovery the
universal_gb_remove_quickoffice_v2.zip and then you can use the
universal_gb_root_v34.zip or universal_gb_root_v34b.zip to finally root your
phone. So Quickoffice will be deleted from your system partition but you can
always install the Quickoffice.apk whenever you want and it will be installed on
your SD card (you can have the rooted phone and using again the Quickoffice). If
for some reason you need to take your phone to the Samsung service center
problem with hardware, software or anything like that you can reverse the process
to install Quickoffice back to the system partition (if you have installed the
Quickoffice.apk uninstall it first from the Task Manager) using first the
universal_gb_unroot_v13.zip to unroot and after that use the
universal_gb_install_quickoffice_v2.zip to install Qucikoffice back to your system
partition and all will be back as normal.

Chapter II
-Removing Thinkfree Office-

Same as Chapter I in many Stock Firmwares we find the application Thinkfree
Office, this stock firmwares in some cases are very problematic to make root on
them. The solution is very simple we just need to make a free space for rooting in
your system partition and remove Thinkfree Office. Apply in recovery the
universal_gb_remove_thinkfreeoffice_v2.zip and then you can use the
universal_gb_root_v34.zip or universal_gb_root_v34b.zip to finally root your
phone. Thinkfree Office will be deleted from your system partition but you can
always install the ThinkfreeOffice.apk whenever you want and it will be installed
in your internal memory (you can have the rooted phone and using again the
Thinkfree Office). If for some reason you need to take your phone to the Samsung
service center problem with hardware, software or anything like that you can
reverse the process to install Thinkfree Office back to the system partition (if you
have installed the ThinkfreeOffice.apk uninstall it first from the Task Manager)
using first the universal_gb_unroot_v13.zip to unroot and after that use the
universal_gb_install_thinkfreeoffice_v2.zip to install Thinkfree Office back to your
system partition and all will be back as normal.
