Could you please tell us How to root it in detail!
Tks in advance.

You must have an update.zip file, I use an update.zip file for samsung GT-S5770 with little bit modify. Copy that into your sd card, turn off your phone, go into recovery mode. Choose apply update from sdcard then choose update.zip file with volume down button, and press home key to choose it . wait until progress done, your phone will automatic restart. browse your phone menu, if there is a program "super user" then your samsung galaxy y was succesfuly rooted. (sorry if my English was so bad ) and please don't forget give a thank's

Is it worked on fw 2.3.5 or 2.3.4?

this is method I've do to "modify"
- download the "update.zip" file for galaxy GT-S5770 ( I'm downloaded from here htt*://w*w.mediafire.c*m/?gakbyi443e8p4gz)
- unzip those file then you can find two folders "system" and "META-INF"
- open folder META-INF >com>google>android, you'll find two files
- open file "updater-script" with notepad
- find this script
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5770" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5770" ||
change with this one
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5360" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5360" ||
- save the file
- compress all file again with "update.zip" name
- finish

simply root it with Vroot
This method is very complicated just simple root it with voot 1.7.2 sofware , you just all those drivers witch come with Q mobile software. Juts simple put mobile in dubugging mode , once sofware detected your mobile just simply press the Root button , your wmobile will restart once and its finally rooted . No need for all this stuff. I rooted my friend's A2 Classic with that method , if you want some screenshots i can provide that to.

Easy Rooting Method.
- I am not responsible for bricked phones
-and i am also not responsible if someone hit a bricked phone in your head
-don't worry your data remain safe :laugh::laugh:
Method:
first and first download the software from attached files below the post :good::good::good:
1) Install all the drivers (as the original post suggested ADB and VCOM )
2) turn USB debugging on.
3) Install the software , its in chinese but not very difficult to understand Just press the middle button once installed it should be looked like this (check the attachment )
4) press the button , let the software do its things, once your cell phone restart check the SU app in the drawer.
Caution: Do not Factory restore your phone after freezing apps or modification you will end up in a boot loop.
So what you do with this little Rooted device ?? duh off course make ext 4 partition on your SD Card and link your newly download aps using link2SD . no worrying of low space

[Guide] All about Caterpillar B15 (CAT Compal B15)

Code:
[B][COLOR="Red"]I don’t take any responsibility if you brick or damage your
device following any of the steps in this guide.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. You may violate your warranty!
By following this guide you agree to this conditions![/COLOR][/B]
Index:
POST #1:
I. How to Root / Backup your CAT B15
II. Enable init.d support (only for rooted devices)
III. Swap Phone Storage with SDCard (only for rooted devices)
IV. Entering the service menu
V. Changing the maximum output volume of the headphone output
VI. Enabling A-GPS and EPO
POST #2:
I. How to flash
II. Legend
III. Firmware links
I. Backup and Root:
Method 1: just for ROOT - Works with all version till now (1.041.0):
I recommend doing a FULL backup before rooting. Check method 2 for backup details!
Update your Android to the latest version
Install Framaroot. For more details see this thread.
Method 2
Prerequisites: Update your phone to the latest version. Download all the tools and drivers for the steps below from here.
1. Only for Windows Vista, 7 and 8: Disable driver signature enforcement (allows you to install the unsigned drivers). This is a very important step. Search google for your windows version!
2. On the phone go to Settings->Developer Options and Enable (put a tick on) USB debugging
3. Connect your phone to the PC and wait until the ADB driver installs automatically. If it fails manually install it from device manager->update driver and select the driver from the “ADB_driver” folder.
Then install the drivers from “MT6577 USB VCOM drivers” folder. Windows will tell you that it cannot verify the publisher of the driver. Select Install this driver software anyway on all the dialogs.
4. Execute MTKdroidTools.exe from “Mtk_Android2.4.3\MtkDroidTools”. The device should be detected in about 20 seconds. If it fails go step 1.
Once the phone is detected (picture 1) select Block Maps. Make a screenshot of the Block Maps screen and click on the Create scatter file button. Save the file in a safe place.
5. Execute Flash_tool.exe from “SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119” folder.
In the download tab click on the Scatter-loading button and load the scatter file created with MTKdroidTools. Then go to the Read back tab. Delete all the entries if any are present.
The click the add button, this creates a blank entry. Double click on the blank entry. You will be asked where to save the file and then to enter the Start Address and Length select Read Method to be Read Page Only.
You find out the values from the screenshot you made before. I created a Sizes.txt file to help you out with the formatting – CHECK if the sizes and start addresses are the same for you!!!!!!!
It’s recommended to add all the partitions (making a full backup) but you can just add recovery.img and boot.img
Turn off your phone. Unplug it from the computer. Remove the battery. Press Read Back button. Holding the Volume Up and Power button together plug the cable to the phone and computer. Once you see a progress in the SP Flash Tool you can release the buttons.
You will see a green circle the progress is complete (Recovery and Boot read back will take few seconds, full backup will take around an hour). Unplug your phone. Make an archive of the backed up files (zip/rar/7zip) so that the files don’t get modified by mistake.
6. Power on the phone. Connect to PC. Adb should be enabled.
Execute MTKdroidTools.exe from “Mtk_Android2.4.3\MtkDroidTools” and wait for the phone to be recognized, in the root, backup, recovery tab and click “Recovery and Boot” button. Select the boot.img from previous step, you will be asked to make a CWM recovery automatically – choose NO and select the recovery.img from the previous step. If it asks to install created recovery to phone choose NO. Close the program.
7. Power off the phone. Disconnect the cable and remove the battery.
Execute Flash_tool.exe from “SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119” folder. In the download tab click on the Scatter-loading button and load the scatter file created in step 4.
Leave the checkboxes on BOOTIMG and RECOVERY. Double click on them and select the modified boot.img and recovery.img (they are located in Mtk_Android2.4.3\MtkDroidTools\recovery). Press the Download button, when a message appears saying that not all images are not loaded correctly press YES.
Holding the Volume Up button and Power button simultaneously plug the USB cable.
After the green circle appears remove the cable.
8. Power on the phone. Connect to PC, Execute MTKdroidTools.exe from “Mtk_Android2.4.3\MtkDroidTools” and wait for the phone to be recognized, in the root, backup, recovery tab the “SuperUser”, “Build.prop” and “Delete china” buttons should be active. Press the “SuperUser” button. Now your phone is rooted.
9. Repeat step 7 but use the files from step 5 (unmodified boot.img and recovery.img).
NOTES: Doing a backup doesn’t violate your warranty. Having a backup is a must. OTA firmware updates checks if some of the system files are modified (build.prop and others take a look at the update-script for details). No not integrate update of system apps to rom (using Titanium backup or similar). If you cannot update OTA the use the backup from step 5 to restore your original firmware.
II. Enable init.d support (only for rooted devices):
Install init.d toggler from Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.broodplank.initdtoggler
Note: If someone managed to get init.d support manually please post the steps so I can add it as an alternative method.
III. Swap Phone Storage with SDCard (only for rooted devices):
1. Make a backup (apps, media, contacts)
2. Do a factory reset
3. Using a root explorer (ES File Browser, Root Explorer or other) go to folder /system/etc

WARNING: NEVER remove the SDCARD while the phone is running!!!! Never power on the phone without an SDCARD!!!!
IV. Entering the service menu:
Open the dialer (where you dial phone numbers) and enter:
*#*#3646633#*#*
V. Changing the maximum output volume of the headphone output:
1. Enter the service menu (chapter IV. In this guide)
2. Select the Hardware Testing tab and navigate to Audio -> Headset mode
3. Select Level: Level 6 and change the Max Vol. field to the desired value and press the Set button. I recommend a maximum value of 150 (the absolute maximum is 160).
You can also edit the loudspeaker volume (from LoudSpeaker Mode) or the phone volume (from Normal Mode).
VI. Enabling A-GPS and EPO
A) Easy method: Settings -> Location access click on GPS satellites (the text NOT the ON/Off button).
Enable A-GPS/EPO.|
B) Service menu method: Enter service menu -> Location -> Location Based Service
Here you have the AGPS and EPO tabs – use the enable checkboxes

Please upload your phone backups and post links in this thread:
I. Flashing firmware with SP Flash Tool.
Check chapter I of previous post for tools link.
II. Flashing pretty much the same as step 7 of chapter I in first post. You load the scatter file and then load the files if they are not loaded (double click and pointing to the corresponding file).
I strongly recommend to do a full backup of the phone before flashing! (If you don't already have one)
You need to flash the following files: MBR, EBR1, UBOOT, RECOVERY, SEC_RO, LOGO, ANDROID (they must be ticked and correct files shoud be loaded).
DO NOT FLASH: PRELOADER, DSP_BL.
You don't need CACHE and USRDATA (if it's not your own backup)
II. Legend:
EMEA = Europe, the Middle East and Africa (Region Code)
DS = Dual Sim
SS = Single Sim
III. Firmware download links:

Sorry I haven't tested that. I don't want to customize my phone from scratch.
It should be restored but I cannot guarantee that! Write the default values somewhere to be sure!

How do i unroot? I do not able to upgrade anymore

Nice one mate! I for one didn't know about the service menu and I found the headphone volume with high-impedance headphones to be a bit lacking.
One thing to add: improve GPS performance: http://www.gizchina.com/2013/07/23/how-to-fix-poor-gps-on-mediatek-phones/
A-GPS and EPO are disabled by default on some phones -_-
Another thing: you can tweak the camera output to "raw" which apparently gets rid of most compression, and the overzealous noise reductio:
Service menu>camera>raw capture mode: capture mode
Service menu>camera>raw type: pure raw
Currently experimenting with this.
EDIT: camera settings are only honored in the debug camera app.

Could somebody upload EMEA dual sim stock recovery to i.e. dropbox or somewhere else? I am not able to upgrade after root anymore. Tried to flash back original boot and recovery and remover supersu. No lucky :crying:

pubbapubba you have modified some system files that's why your phone fails the update checksum progress.
Sorry I don't have a phone without root, but you can update to the latest version (1.041.0) from the second post of this thread (just uploaded minutes ago) but it's ROOTED.
Flash ONLY the following files: BOOTIMG, RECOVERY, ANDROID, UBOOT, LOGO, SEC_RO!!!

Citruspers, I will add the GPS and other tweaks when I have time to properly describe all the options

Thanks for the detailed guide!
When I am running the flash_tool two things happen...
1. My "Read Flag" column is a check box radio with N/A beside it. Not like what your screen shot shows.
2. I can add the starting and length for each item, but the last errors out saying "[Warning] Read back address is adjusted to 512 byte alignment. For the last item "bmtpool" (I have manually typed the values and also cut and pasted your text file entries. My scatter file has the exact same start and length as your guide.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
EDIT: I tried several times and with changing nothing I now have the Read Flag choices and was able to set page only. I am still getting a Warning on the last item, but the values stuck... am now going to perform the backup and see how it goes.
Ahh... the selecting of the scatter file is the difference. If I load the scatter file first I have no Read Flag choices, if I leave it blank I do. The scatter file changes to EMMC and gets rid of the Read Flag choices.
EDIT: Also just realized I did not upgrade the firmware to 1.41 so am doing that now. (My original CATB15 came with 1.41, this is a replacement brand new out of box and it needed to be upgraded. Will see if that makes any difference.
EDIT: I upgraded firmware and ran it anyway. Was able to root the phone following the steps... Thanks for the guide.. Only thing I saw so far is I would not load the scatter file first in step 5.... as this removes the ability to set the Read Flag choices, although they get overwritten when you do load the scatter file in your screenshot as well.

1. Which method. Famaroot or the tested one?
2. If you want to put the factory version you must have a backup of a factory firmware. I'm waiting for factory (as I call them "virgin" firmwares)
3. You SOULD (not 100% guaranteed) be able to update after root IF you don't modify the build.prop, the framework and library files (in system) and the /system/apps folder. You can add files to system but DO NOT replace, modify system files! Do NOT integrate system app ugrades to system. I'll add the full list of files that SHOULD NOT be modified for the OTA updates to work - when I have time!
EDIT: Unrooted firmware added to second post. It's EMEA DS 1.1041.0. Thanks to Wedee. Please confirm if the firmware works (on DUAL SIM phone It may brick Single Sim)

Go to Settings -> About phone and Check the build number:
If it Says EMEA_DS.1.1041.00 Than its EMEA region, Dual SIM and the version is 1.1041.0.
I don't know what are the other regions? Maybe there is an version for the Americas?

Please upload your phone backups and post links in this thread:
I. Flashing firmware with SP Flash Tool.
Check chapter I of previous post for tools link.
II. Flashing pretty much the same as step 7 of chapter I in first post. You load the scatter file and then load the files if they are not loaded (double click and pointing to the corresponding file).
I strongly recommend to do a full backup of the phone before flashing! (If you don't already have one)
You need to flash the following files: MBR, EBR1, UBOOT, RECOVERY, SEC_RO, LOGO, ANDROID (they must be ticked and correct files shoud be loaded).
DO NOT FLASH: PRELOADER, DSP_BL.
You don't need CACHE and USRDATA (if it's not your own backup)
II. Legend:
EMEA = Europe, the Middle East and Africa (Region Code)
DS = Dual Sim
SS = Single Sim
III. Firmware download links:
EMEA DS.1.041.0 Unrooted (Factory/Virgin/Stock) Thanks to Wedee (Untested) Should work. Please confirm!:
Original link (zip)
Mirror (I have removed the preloader and dsp_bl but haven't tested this backup):
Zippyshare Part1 (7zip)
Zippyshare Part2 (7zip)
EMEA DS 1.041 Unrooted (Factory/Virgin/Stock) Thanks to tedy_lv (Untested) Should work. Please confirm!:
Original link Zippyshare (rar)
EMEA DS.1.041.0 Rooted from my phone (TESTED):
Zippyshare PART 1 (7zip)
Zippyshare PART 2 (7zip)

This worked BUT: The aromafilemanager.zip didn't work, I had to download it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
So, please update the link, with the zip linked above it worked perfectly! :good:
//edit: And there is one more very simple way, if you have activated the device manager as device administrator (for some odd reason my phone deactivated all device admins, that's why I locked myself out in the first way, I use TimePIN and suddenly my code and the failsafe didn't work ) :
Go to https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager klick on "lock" and enter some pin like 1234, the current lockscreen will be overwritten by the 1234-lock.

Here's a simple windows app I made that will do all that with just one click over ADB http://youtu.be/NxzGxb73CQE

CM11 file to delete
this guide is cool
those who using CM11 the file to be deleted is cm.gesturekey
and the pattern is delted
i m using CM11
so just wanted to share

Thank you so much!
My Galaxy S2 slipped from my hand and battery popped out. After turning the device on, the phone would not accept my PIN! Strange as it seems.
Tried method 6 initially, but did not work. However went for Method 7 and profit!
I had TWRP recovery already in place, so didn't actually had to use the aroma file manager.
Thank you so much again. Weird days!

Normally it's called install zip from sd card. If it's not working, change the recovery.

[NO ROOT] [NO USB DEBUGGING] Bypass Too Many Pattern Attempts

Hiii

Without Root And Without USB Debugging​
Description :
Many times by mistake Android Pattern is Attempted wrong and generate "Too Many Pattern Attempts" Message Which can only bypass by email account you logged in that device But It requires Internet Connection like WiFi or Data Plan Turned On
The basic thing behind this scene is the Database of Settings.apk which holds the boolean value of Pattern AttemptsIf you crossed limited pattern attempts this value becomes 1 The settings.db is Located at /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
So I developed a Updater Script to Delete settings.db which can be flash to device through custom recovery like CWM. To flash this Zip you must have Unlocked Bootloader
This Method will change your Android ID ( Can Be easily fix )
Use This At your Own Risk !
Follow The Steps to Flash this BypassPatternAttempts.zip
Required Files :
1.CWM.zip for Galaxy Y Duos https://db.tt/nxnZWSOp

2.Insert that memory card in your android device.
3.Now switch off your device.
4.Now press volume up + power + home button together to start Recovery mode ( May be Different for Different Devices ).
5.In this mode touch will not work so navigate using volume up and down keys and select using home button.
6.Now select update zip from sd card’
7.Now select CWM.zip.
8.Yellow coloured menu will appear. ( May be Different for Different Devices )
9.Select ‘install zip from sd card’.

Just saying, if the person has an unlocked bootloader, isn't he likely to have a recovery and root as well?

What I meant is... if somebody has unlocked their bootloader...
they probably already have root and CWM, don't they?
