Electronics & Appliances Best Posts in Thread: Which Dumaguete company will root a Samsung Phone

BTW: With Samsung you can recover and go back to stock firmware image easily with Odin. Just make sure you already have the official Samsung G532G firmware image downloaded to your computer or you may be down for around a day while you wait for it to download.

Also, the rooting procedure usually requires wiping the phone. Backup before you attempt.

 

I wouldn't recommend it. The site says the procedure and firmware is for g532m only.

My previous comments about it being as easy as following step by step instructions was wrong. I'm used to rooting flagship stock Android Google phones. Things can get a bit complicated with budget phones from different manufacturers that have a different firmware image for every country they are sold in. It also gets a bit more complicated due to the 3rd world developers that don't foresee and warn about the issues that may arise....not to mention that many of them in Asia are thin-skinned/lazy and don't like to admit their scripts weren't up to par and need editing. I was reading some threads on the XDA forums (where I always get my root instructions) on rooting your phone and some of those developers need a smack to the back of the head. Some threads had 2-3 pages of members posting issues they were having before the "developer" decided it was time to inform people the script had issues. (Yet they still didn't add warnings or update the OP.)

I'm quite sure I could root the phone easily but there could be issues along the way that would need to be fixed and require a bit more in-depth knowledge of working with the Android OS. I'm also quite sure you could do it as well but you may need to learn how to properly recover a phone from a boot loop. That can be time consuming in the Philippines due to the internet being so slow and unreliable in the Philippines and the files needed to recover being around 1GB in size.
