This new method of rooting is powered by SRS Server. A phone which has full access on it will encounter a couple of issues if updated. Important data is spared, as is the handset’s internal and external SD cards. What isn’t spared: the phone’s system partition and root access. These two will be deleted and revoked, respectively.

  • one (or several) backups should be performed to protect your smartphone’s data;
  • a full NANDroid backup is needed after that;

  • turn off the security programs used by the latter;
  • you will also be asked to go to the ones on your Samsung GT-I5500 and have them disabled;

  • Windows needs to be the only OS running on the laptop;
  • download USB drivers which are compatible with the handset on the laptop.
