from the comments above,it seems you are the only one this exercise have worked for so far Amar
seems like no one so far has succeeded in this rooting exercise apart from you amar.
I found USB Debugging under Developer Options. It is listed in the main menu of the settings screen. My Grand is version “L”. The USB Debugging option is washed out so I cannot check the box. How would I bypass this? There isn’t an “Applications” option under settings, just Manage Applications and nothing under there about Developer at all. I was able to hook up to my PC and load all my pics, music and custom ringtones to the SD card, and they all appeared on the device, but I would love to have apps go there too. I haven’t loaded but 2 or 3 awaiting your response.
Ignore that USB dubugging step and lets see where it goes and let me know the result
@Amar: I do understand that you are quite busy, but please read the posts above! You send a link for an updated version of Fix Recovery.zip, which is one of the 2 files required to root my Galaxy Grand. When I click the link, the file is not found…
So as yet, still unable to root my Galaxy Grand i9082 Duos, because both the required files do NOT work and give an error.
Both links working fine at my end HansDZ
@Amar: the file is “Gone” … I get to see ‘410 … Gone’
So, no adjusted file ;-)
Which file you’er aiming at? Both files are working at my end
@Amar Ilindra: when I select the zip files as mentioned in the explanation, I get the same result as Iwan explained… get the error that “E:signature verification failed” or “E:failed to verify whole-file signature”.
And then all is stopped. The Galaxy Grand sees somewhere an error in the zip files… This means that it is not possible to root the mobile phone… Help would be much appreciated here, in order to root my mobile phone, so I can use Titanium Backup
Sorry for late reply
Download again from this link
and try again from beginning
I have exactly the same problem as described above… Any solution to this?
What problem are you aiming at? Can i have few more details
Amr, thanks for the step-by-step guide for rooting samsumg grand duos. I followed your steps and downloaded the lastest version of Fix Recovery.zip and Super SU.zip files to the SD card root. In the recovery mode, when I opened the zip files and in the same order you have mentioned, both of them gave an error message sayng “E: Signature verification failed” and “E:failed to verify whole-file signature”. I tried it twice and both the times, I got the same error msg. My mobile was not rooted. What should I do? I wish the processs was simpler and more user friendly!
I look forward to your response.
Yeah, I had the exact same problem. E:/signature verification failed
Galaxy Grand is really a beautiful phone. I’m sure rooting the device will get more and more awesome features to enjoy.
