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_v12.zip to delete all the half extracted

files from the root procedure previously done. After that you can apply

universal_gb_root_v33b.zip known as Root Only.

IMPORTANT: If for some reason after rooting with the universal_gb_root_v33b.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_v12.zip it will delete all

the remaining stuff from busybox in /system/xbin and use again the

universal_gb_root_v33b.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_v10.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_v10.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_v33.zip or universal_gb_root_v33b.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_v12.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.

-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_v33.zip or universal_gb_root_v33b.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_v12.zip to unroot and after that use the

universal_gb_install_thinkfreeoffice_v2.zip to install Thinkfree Office back to your
