I can’t find step 7 “Disable Samsung reactivation lock”
and in step 17 “data format” is not working.
It showing mount errors…
any workaround would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sorry .. Step 17 misunderstood by your video on youtube.. So finally it worked by “format data” button.
But I can not find any option in step 18..
“Then go back to main menu and tap advanced button and tap on root”
Can’t find this option.
Do you mean to flash “Super SU” zip file?
You might be doing it wrong, video was for c9000 Chinese version, in Indian version you need to use twrp built-in root
Hi Mutahhar Bashir,
It does not have inbuilt root.
In step 18 I flashed the supersu zip file from your hongkong version with TWRP.
Now I succeeded in my root.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for the confirmation, guide updated accordingly
Thanks for your efforts.
1) TWRP is in chineese language.. we have to change it to english…. i followed your youtube video to do that. thanks.
2) The phone will not reboot if we press reboot option in TWRP after flashing… It hangs… I restarted it by Volume UP+Volume Down+Home +Power button pressing…
Just to update..
may other users please confirm.
thanks.
