It isn’t a tutorial in a sense that it doesn’t go in all the details of the sub-steps involved with each of the 1-thru-9 steps (for example at step 9, “From the CWM recovery flash the root.zip” involves making a few (obvious) choices in the CWM menu, navigating to root.zip file etc.,) but these sub-steps are generally straight forward.

Ce n’est pas un tutoriel, dans le sens ou chaque “sous-etape” des etapes 1-a-9 n’est pas documentee, avec photo d’ecran etc. (Par example a l’etape 9 “”From the CWM recovery flash the root.zip” requiere que l’on fasse quelque choix dans le menu du ClockworkMod (CWM), que l’on navigue jusqu’au fichier root.zip etc.), Cependant, ces sous-etapes sont generalement assez evidentes. Some precision First, I recommand using a SD card.
Second, about phase between step 8 and 9. You must start custom recovery mode immediately after Odin. (otherwise, original recovery appears) so, for more facility, I uncheck also Auto Reboot.

I'll post a untouched copy of the firmware also. Odin 3.07 - PreRootedP5210XXUAMG6P5210OXXAMG3.tar.md5 - Still In Testing Original Firmware - Or you can go to and search for your firmware there. I'm also thinking that when I./simg2img system.img newsys.img there was an issue. Because the new image blew up to 2.5Gigs. Might try a different firmware this time. I also just downloaded the updated su package. There are some other files in this tarball that has something to do with the update.
Still digging - Update- I found /lib/arm digging around. That leads me to believe that the su and Superuser.apk need to be built by the android arm tool-chain, I downloaded the most up to date binary and apk. Post a test link once uploaded.
