How to unroot Exploit :
Open Exynos Abuse app, uncheck disable explot & Disable Exploit on boot then select Unroot device
Restart device and wait for 10 min. and then you can check status.
Since Chainfire support our note now . if you want reset counter for warranty then download TRIANGLE AWAY from play store which will do the job.Still dont know what is it, go here for more infor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114.
If you want to unroot for some reason :
From stock rom and root by Chainfire method all you need to do : Triangle Away app ,SuperSU / setting/ full unroot. Reboot into Recovery / Factory reset.
From custom rom : reflash stock image via Odin .reroot by CF auto root,reset counter with Triangle Away App,SuperSU/Setting/Full unroot . Recovery / Factory reset.
Can find stock firmware from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ search for T889

Common question about reseting counter
I have reset counter but system status still 'custom'
You should have stock recovery (Opton 2)
If you already have stock recovery(CF Auto root) then reset counter first
then wipe cache + wipe data(factory reset) + re wipe cache
You should now have system status 'official'
I have rest counter but after reboot again it goes to 1
This happen if you have rooted with CUSTOM RECOVERY(Opton 1)
This is neither error of recovery nor triangle away. This happens due to new bootloader which have auto checksum for recovery, when you reboot to custom recovery count will raise.
To prevent this you need to have play version of Triangle away, and you should check (enable) 'Auto reset at boot'. Again this feature depends on kernel/recovery is supported or no

Weird, I guess the development forums for 150 other phones must be wrong then. Their moderators must be slacking.
p.s.-no root, no development.
p.s.s-you must be a toolkit user

Yeah, the reason I put my thread in origin dev because i seen every forum do the same ,all I do is try to help but I guest moderator want to keep dev thread at NEVER so let it be. Toolkit is good but complicated if you choose wrong option then will be problem thats why I come up with this solution which easy to root and with out any issue .

Yes, you are right! It belongs in the general section and not stickied in the dev section (like every other phone) so it can get lost on page 8 and more people **** up their phone.
Seriously. Go in the dev section of 20 different phones and tell me what percentage have a root method stickied right at the top.

I also was able to root my phone with this method.

Back to Stock?
Hi,
Are we able to bring it back to stock just in case?
Thanks

There is no flashable zip file, only image file (3rd method) via adb/terminal emulator or via flashify & co.

Thanks, the 3rd method didn't work but I solved with Flashify :good:

Updated link in 3rd method, now cwm recovery is flashing and wiping faster ! And it can be installed on both variants ( GT-I9300I AND GT-I9301I )

thanks it worked perfectly and easily installed .

grand GT-I9082 home button stopped working after update cwm12.1 with philz touch

Hi , I have a grand duos GT-I9082 which was on 4.1.1 I manually rooted it some year ago , updated to 4.2 then 4.4.4 then now it is on cwm 12.1 android 5.1.1 ( pawit ) with no much problem. I tried to upgrade my friends phone (GT-I9082) which was on original 4.2.2 samsung rom.
I tried to change the recovery using odin 3.09 and "recovery-20141213-odin.tar" , the process went fine with passed and completed like this picture :

( from this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...l/how-to-return-galaxy-grand-duos-gt-t3112004 )
odin finished with success ( pass - green ) then rebooted the phone.
but when the phone rebooted , I held the ( home+vol up + power ) but instead of the new recovery it went to the original recovery. I tried flashing zip from external sd memory with original recovery area, but it could not verify the package and didn't install. so I rebooted the phone and it went to samsung 4.2.2 . so in case that odin was successful but nothing changed !
Then I tried this recovery : "philz_touch_6.19.3-i9082.tar.md5" , this time I used odin 3.04 , and it could change the recovery. then with this recovery I installed this rom file : "cm-12.1-20150703-UNOFFICIAL-i9082.zip" from this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../rom-cm-12-1-galaxy-grand-duos-i9082-t3073108
which is working fine on my own grand.
android 5.1.1 installed and booted fine , but now I see that home button is not working anymore. even in philz touch , there is a test button function , when I press buttons even volume or touch buttons , they return the keyboard code like 138 for example , but when I press home button no code is returning.
I can only access recovery mode via advanced reboot menu of the rom on power key. but I cannot hold home button +volume up or down to access download mode to flash it with odin again.
I tried to factory reset ( format /data and /cache and delvik via philz touch ) then Installed android 4.4.4 : cm-11-20141112-UNOFFICIAL-i9082.zip , but that didn't help for home button too.
I searched and saw that there are apps for rebooting into recovery or download ( odin ) mode , and tried 4 or 5 of them but none work on cyanogenmod roms. when I select reboot into download , it reboots normally and loads the android.
even samsung test code *#0*# do not work on this cyanogenmod roms.
I am now tring to learn java development kit , to reboot the phone to recovery via command : "adb reboot download"
on my own grand 5.1.1 cm 12.1 , when i use that command from phone terminal app , it returns "device not found" . I hope jdk and adb in windows helps to reboot it into odin mode. as I cannot re-program even stock rom to use samsung kies now. because that needs booting into download mode too.
any suggestions ?:crying:

Try flashfire or mobile Odin by chainfire to flash stock ROM without going to download mode,
If you want to try by adb make sure to install USB drivers and get a working cable then go to developer option ( you can enable it by going to about phone and then clicking on build number until you get a message says that you enabled dev options ) , and enable Android debugging
Connect the mobile to laptop/PC
And then type adb reboot download
You should reboot to download mode

You might wanna check USB Jig thread. It's a device that can trigger our phone to reboot into dload/odin mode, without pushing any button.
It's just a simple device, you can even make it yourself.

It's just a simple device, you can even make it yourself.

the phone is not with me today , but I am wondering whether is this a software issue or a hardware issue. I hope it being a software issue as i searched and saw others had similiar problems too.

on my own grand which is now on cm12.1 pawit android 5.1.1 , I tested the adb ,
settings for root access is on : Apps and ADB
on my laptop ( win8.1 x64 ) : I installed java develpment kit and android sdk tools like this guide :
http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
now adb in windows can see the phone :

but when I reboot the phone " adb reboot download" device reboots normally and loads android cyanogenmod again. any ideas ?
in adb help , there is no adb reboot download command :

not yet , this is my own working phone , I am testing adb with it , that other phone is for my friend and it is not here currently.
even I found this link : http://zidroid.com/boot-android-devices-to-download-fastboot-recovery-mode-using-adb/
adb reboot download
adb reboot-bootloader
all of them reboot the phone normally ! there must be something related to cyanogemod , as *#0*# does not work too.
edit : this works :
adb reboot recovery
reboots the phone into cyanogen recovery. again in that recovery there is an option to reboot the phone to boot loader , when I select it , the device reboots normally into android.

Bootloader Loads Kernel then Kernel Loads the OS that is how it works
I don't not much about download mode ( i didn't read about it )
But since we don't see Samsung galaxy grand duos while booting to download i'll assume that we don't boot the bootloader to go to download mode
and that is why we can't boot to it with adb
( THAT IS AN ASSUMPTION ONLY, I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT DOWNLOAD MODE )

there must be something with this ( Pawitp ) grand rom I think, because here is another samsung galacy ace2 , which had android 2.1 , and I upgraded it to cyanogenmode 4.4.4 , I tested that phone now ,
abd reboot-bootloader : rebooted device normally.
but adb reboot download : rebooted device to download (odin) mode. like holding "vol down+power+home buttons" and the command and my adb installation is working fine.
adb reboot recovery : rebooted this phone to cwm-based recovery v6.0.5.0 . so the problem is cyanogenmod recovery that I have on my own grand.
which is installed automatically by using ( update recovery ) option. when it downloaded the update , it downloaded recovery too.

As I remember, RVR did tell something about our device that won't allow to use any shortcut/reboot bootloader/download from recovery. That's why he removed the button from reboot option. Not only from recovery, I've tried several app that trigger the reboot option, none of it works, it will only reboot normally back into system.
And as I remember, I did successfully reboot to dload mode using "adb reboot bootloader" command while on stock TW 4.2.2 ROM. But can't comment on any custom ROM as I never tried yet.
RVR did built the official TWRP for our grand.

that was not a good decision he made
here is another solution i found : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYvt2gLf3vA
bringing back the softkeys to it like the tablet and devices that do not have physical buttons. like some models of Acer tablets.
I`ll try this when I get access to that malfunctioning phone. and will let you know of the result. thanks.

Actually, it is, as the button won't work so no use of it.
Are we talking about reboot download mode or softkey? If softkey is the problem, you just need to add this line in build.prop.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

the hardware home button is not returning any codes , so I thought to show software keys ( the way u also said ) so that I can hold the 3 buttons ( home + vol down+power ) to get to odin download mode , to reflash original 4.2.2 to see if home button comes back alive or not.
I think I should use triangle away first.

The softkey won't work for 3 button combo booting. Try search USB Jig thread. Its the best bet for you at the moment.
Triangle away is a good idea.

S10+ Exynos or Snapdragon ? or work for both ?

for s10 + exynos version

Just 3 things i wanna ask.
1. But you didnt mention twrp version?
2. Even if we already are on twrp' latest version we need to wipe because its prepatched?
3. We shouldnt ever factory reset or just after first installation? But we can factory reset from settings?

1. Latest Twrp 3.3.1-7
2. if you have a twrp installed then kindly do not flash it.
3. Kindly make a backup from twrp recovery before making a factory reset in case any thing goes wrong

Sorry for such a rudimentary question but are the adb commands done individually after "su" or is that one command line too long to fit in the box? Sorry, I've just been fighting with getting twrp on my phone since last night. Root works fine but after flashing patched img file I can never get it to go into twrp. Always goes to stock recovery even though flash is successful. I originally thought I was messing up the key combo but I have my suspicions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

UPDATE××Got TWRP to boot the first time. First time system booted fine but I lost root. Did a fresh root per magisk install guide and reflashed twrp.img in root shell. Got twrp to boot again but it continues to boot loop. I only wiped internal with no factory reset. I know it's probably something I'm doing. Any suggestions?

It seems magisk not installed properly. Download latest firmware from Carotix folder Here it have prepatched recovery prepatched ap you need not to do anything you need to reflash recovery n system ...use odin flash patched ap cp bl and use HOME_CSC (you will not use any data apps or anything) Just flash using odin everything will work fine.
also download multidisabler from ian's multidisabler thread HERE put it in phone as need to flash after boot into Twrp!
instructions copied from Carotix thread
Download 4 files from OTA/ODIN FILES then follow this guide:
and put the last Multidisabler in your phone
1- Turn off the device and put it in download mode with the bixby / vol down button and inserting the cable to the PC at this point open Odin remove the check mark from autoreboot
2- Load the AP .tar file downloaded from OTA together with the BL the CP and the HOME_CSC .... if you put the CSC you lose all the data
3- Start the flash and wait
4- At the end you disconnect the phone from the cable and with the power / vol down keys force the switch off as soon as the screen goes black press vol + / bixby / power to go in recovery and don't leave the keys until you see the twrp screen, continue to keep the 3 keys pressed and wait for the recovery to start again
5- Flash the multidisabler then from the main screen choose recovery reboot to boot rooted/magisk system.

Thanks for your help. I had to do it a little unconventional to get it working. None of the prepatched recoveries that are included in all these firmware downloads would work for me using Odin. Only flashing this twrp.img in a root shell would work. I finally just flashed Beyond rom zip after getting into twrp along with the disabler zip. Boots into rooted system with no problems and I can boot into twrp with no problems as well. Oh yea, I flashed Beyond over ASG8 also. Not sure why I could never get ASH6 to work.

Hello kkrraazzyy,
can you please explain how to install your twrp.
I already habe twrp installed. an this rom. --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/development/rom-carhdrom-1-t3938987
But a want to install your twrp to boot always with Magisk without to press any key.
I need your help please.

Any proper YouTube guide video for these things, as flashing/rooting became so complicated with so many steps.... Thank you!

So from my understanding this is the first and only way to have the phno boot into the patched recovery automatically without needing top physically press the button combo? Or have I missed something Was just expecting there to have been a lot more attention that's all.
This has actually what has been one of the main reasons holding me back from rooting as it reminds me back in the day of tethered and untethered jailbreaks for iPhones.
Except that this is just a inconvenience while tethered would make the phone practically unusable.

Is there an app i can use to backup and restore my kik chats? I got a new phone, a Samsung Galaxy 10+ and want to tramsfer my kik chats and save data for Digimon Heroes! to my new galaxy 10+ i dont have root on either phones is there a app (apk) or one i can downlod on my laptop to make the backup of them so i can bring them over. Please i only have a dew days left to transfer my number over and have my old phone shut dwn by my previous provider. I need to do it on the next 2 days.

Use Smart Switch by Samsung, it includes the possibility of transferring all your data and settings using a USB cable. I transferred everything from my old phone to this one (S10+ SM-G975F). I don't know if it will work on non-Samsung devices, but it's worth a try.

I have android 10 on my s10+, will this twrp work with android q?

possible to boot without root permissions too?

:good:

Hi @kkrraazzyy , could you show us how you did it?
because @ianmacd https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...covery-twrp-3-3-0-galaxy-s10-exynos-t3924856/
latest version does not seem to provide this awesome function.
