Then I guess you haven’t installed your drivers. Install them properly. Thank you. ( do everything on your own risk)
Man there seems to be some problem…. the firmware u provided is bada 2.0 only … no android and .. no wave 3 market also… my wave 2 is not getting rooted also… i cannot find any zImage file … plz help man… i need android on my phone…
it wud be helpful if u put a video or explanation procedure
Pushkar: Did you root your Wave correctly. If yes, then the Firmware provided will do. And the zImage provided… I have downloaded it once again and checked… It worked for me.
man i cud nt find any zimage on my phone… so that i cud replace it with urs… plz help where can i find it
I am uploading an other way of rooting wave. Just refresh Mobile Gameroids and check this same post for the UPDATE !
i hav installed the firmware u provided fr wave 2 … when it started … it showed bada 2.0 n i cannot find the zimage on my phone… i tried to root it as it is.. but when it asksed to install driver and i clicked ok… it did nothing and just asked again 2-3 times to install driver… plz help me with the procedure man…. one more thing…. the firmware u gave is android or bada
I guess you are running Windows 7 (64 bit) ?
yes win 7 64 bit
Then the UPDATE coming up is for you and all the 64 bit windows 7 users. check out and spread.
plz tell me the firmware u provided is bada or android… coz on my phone when i installed …. it is bada only….
Its an Android ICS firmware. For that you need to ROOT your Wave. Check out the UPDATE I have provided the details for a 64bit sys
Pushkar: I have also uploaded a Video. Check out.
There are still few bugs… Some of the Android apps may not work and there is also a battery Bug.
hey man… i downloaded sdk but it says it needs java development kit… i downloaded it and installed it … but sdk not getting installed can u help me find JDK
the video u posted is for wave 1 … i got wave 2…moreover it says we need boot files and polishblood files… they r nt there in the firmware… just tell me this… can i download firmware of wave 1 and install it on wave 2… i guess badadroid is developed fr wave 1 much better… when i installed on wave 2 it shows only bada nt badadroid
The recent update which I have posted was for Wave II. JDK is simple to download. Click on http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u3-download-1501626.html
and download the JDK for windows 64bit.
Then you need to create a class path.
Follow the steps below:
1) after downloading the JDK and installing it
2) right click on the My Computer symbol and then go to properties.
3) their below you will find “Environment……… ”
4) Click on that….
5) Now open the Java folder which would probably be in your C:\Program Files\ Java\
6) Now click on the lib folder
7) copy the path on the address bar above.
8) paste this path in the environment variables… New path….
9) you can name it anything you want.
10) once again click on new path and paste the same path but replace the lib to bin (in the path)
1!) name it whatever you want to.
12) Done. your JDK is installed.
did you try the other UPDATED method that I have posted ???
hey.. i tried ur updated method … but the problem is … when i give google usb driver to the system, it says it has found most updated driver … so i dont know wheteher it is taking the driver or not. Then when i start unroot.. no pop up appears…. i feel the major reason behind this is that i dont have the zimage file in my phone which i can replace… can u help me on that
Pushkar: The zImage is not the problem. Actually the problem is you are Rooting your phone for the first time hence you aren’t able to find the zimage.
I will be uploading the Polish Blood firmware and few more.. ( they are for wave1) but still methods are same.
You can copy the Polish Blood as you wanted from the Firmware later.
And don’t worry, “Patience is Virtue” 😛
man tried all things… i have the polish blood files … but nothing is working … only wave 1 can be rooted … not wave 2…. its killing me man…
Mine is Wave II. I have it Rooted. I donno how come its not working for you. Will let you know the probs in your rooting soon.
Actually, theres a major differences from the hardware and software(as it opensource technically), it depends from the countries it’s released. I have Wave II, having the same problems. I cannot find zImage on my Wave II, I`m using STune to find it, but none on results.
To find the zImage you need to do the Android rooting as it is shown in the video.
zImage is only created when there a prior Android rooting is done in the phone.
hey ashrules … i tried a lot but can u plz explain me the rooting procedure….I did the following things tell me where did i go wrong…
FIrst I downloaded the firmware u provided for wave II… hero555 it says…
Then I flashed my phone with this firmware. it got installed … only prob i faced during this was when I gave it a path for CSC… there were many files and I gave it the Asia one…Then the phone got configured and started…
Then I tried to find zImage to be replaced but it was nowhere in the phone… still I continued …
When I connected my phone it showed Hero 555 and when i clicked it … there were three folders
1. IntSys 2. Osp 3. Phone
I pasted the zImage in phone folder.
I started Unroot tool…. and clicked on root. It did not show my device ( as mentioned in the guide of tool) It flashed a msg to install the driver… i clicked on yes… but no use .. it kept on flashing the same msg …
Then I tried to follow ur another procedure…I downloaded Google USB driver… Then I went to device manager and my mobile was listed under USB controllers… when i tried to update the driver software it says already updated driver installed. so no use
Then i tried to follow the procedure in ur video… i followed the link from video description and downloaded Polish blood files… copy pasted them in Phone folder and tried to root my device… no use … it keeps on flashing the msg to install the driver…
Man plz help … i tried a lot but nothing worked…
Everything that you have done is right, but you are missing one major point….. The zImage.
The zImage is only found when you have flashed your phone earlier for Android, as shown in the video(for wave 1)
For wave II you have the similar process.
Remember… zImage is important.
2) If you do not find the zImage then you will not be able to modify the Bada Wave to an Android Wave.
sorry one small change… the device it shows is Honda 355
again sorry its Hero 355
please provide ics 4.0.4 for wave 2…. the file you have provided is a custom firmware for wave 2… i need the ics 4.0.4 for wave 2…
Will try posting that.
i hav installed the firmware u provided fr wave 2 … when it started … it showed bada 2.0 n i cannot find the zimage on my phone… i tried to root it as it is.. but when it asksed to install driver and i clicked ok… it did nothing and just asked again 2-3 times to install driver…
but i have 32bit plz …. elp me
my email is (laythalhaj@yahoo.com)
@Layth Saleem: Check the comments that I have posted above. You need to flash your phone with Android before doing all that I have mentioned… That will create the zImage in your phone.
Does the Android 4.0 works on Wave 2?
It does. But has few bugs.
Hey! Im new to rooting and I have wave 1 and I want to run android on it. i just wanted to confirm the steps before i screw up my beloved cell! 😀
1) Copy and replace the given “zImage” in your phone memory with this one here
2) Use the Unlock Root tool to root your wave
3) Download Unlock Root tool from above link and install it.
4) Connect your Android on Samsung Wave to your PC and make sure the USB debugging is switched on.
5) Click on root.
6) It will ask to install a driver, click on install driver anyway , it should be the second option (in Win
7) Wait for root to complete and Done
Are these the only steps or do i need to follow the next steps mentioned for 64 bit too? mine is vista running on 32 bit.
Cool. (do it. But still if anything happens to your “beloved phone” I am not responsible.)
One question,and thanks for your answer :D, ehm how i can replace the zimage and what is the zimage?
Its a file in your phone. You just need to copy those zImage provided. Replacing is only done if you have already copied the file to your phone memory.
could you please give me a way to do all right..i am from germandy and i can english,russian and german,it would be very beautiful if you could post the way how to find te zImage and so on…
i have flashed the turko v6 firmware and bada 2 works good but i cant boot android,i cant understand how to do this right…
There is a link named Polish Blood. Try Flashing that. (remember… I will not be responsible nor will the site or the sources, for any kinda damage.) But still try flashing Polish blood and paste the zImage in your phone memory. Just Paste it. Watch the video. It must give you a clear idea of flashing.
HI ! I’m a starter so this is getting quite confusing for me… Do I need to use this CFW in order to install Android or is it pre-installed into the Rom ? Really appreciate any help… My phone is Wave 2 – Bada 2.0 anyway !
Can you give me the link for the polish blood for Wave 2 and the Link for the video,plese?
ok thanks i know how to do that but what happen when i flsh ththe bootfiles and the other files of wave 1 to wave 2?
can i try it for my wave 2???
Yes you can.
Got a question 😉
I seem not to be able to run the program to root since I am not able to instal the “driver”
I followed your update steps and it didnt work.
Is there a way to do this under linux instead off Windows?
Its the same !!
hey i have got wave 2 s8530 .i want to askthatcani instal android onmy wave 2.pls if yes tel me waht to do.illbe very helpful to u.
Your video seems to be down and I’m afraid the instructions leave me a bit confused.
I’m using Windows 7 x64 and a Samsung Wave II, Bada 2.0.
Where do I actually use the android firmware that i downloaded?
The process for rooting seems straightforward, but not having rooted my phone before I dont know how I’m supposed to get that zImage.
What am I missing?
Nothing… Just copy paste the zimage.
hello…can anyone please tell whether or not this ICS can be ported to wave 2?
lot of talks happned but no one tells if it is working on wave 2 or not…….
It can be ported.
but how? is the LCD driver issue sorted out for wave 2?
does d android firmware work properly ??..coz i ve heard tat d memory card doesnt respond…is it true????
There are many flaws @thomass001
dear ashrules,
how to flash Android 4 on wave2. i have downloaded and gone thru all the process which is mentioned but non of them worked. please explain briefly.
there is no any virtual devices showing in the AVD manager after installing google usb driver.plz help……..
there is nothing working well.neither zImage nor Android sdk tools.also AVD manager can’t search any “samsung’ and ‘automatic or manual’ pop ups.And also unlock root is not working as explained above…….
which software is used to boot……..i m using multiloader 5.6 when i try to select file for boot it shows msg “can not load binary file”………….plz hlp it buddy…………….!!!!!!!!!!!
hey i am new to this rooting . i cant find the video .it will be more helpful if you post it again in any other way
The Video is already there present in the blog. Just search… Wave in my blog which will lead you with various links… and videos.
hey man,
i have done everything what u have said . every thing worked but if i tried to update driver it is saying that it is up to date n when i continued with this in unroot it is repeatedly asking install driver….. please tell me a way.
Update driver !! Your phone always checks the flashed version of the driver…. Not the updated version.. To update the driver you need to Flash your phone once again with the updated driver !
an other doubt we need to copy the zimage file to phone memory .but to which part intsys or osp or phone and which folder kindly tell me man
Copy the image in your phone mem.
In the above discussion you have said that zimage is only created when android is flashed . what do you mean the cfw firmware for wave 2 right is any other thing to be flashed just tell me please. Actually i understood the problem i need to know how to flash my phone for android
Just flash it using the Polish Blood firmware.
please upload your video once again or upload it to any other sharing websites n post the link i didnt even seen it once please help me
please update the video so we can follow these steps and one more thing please upload the video where we can find all the steps………………….
Okay will upload the video…. (It’ll take some time though)
Finally i found the video. but when i tried to flash the boot file and fota file it is showing error stating that it cannot able to erase . please tell me a solution
Check your FOTA file once again…
The only problem with this now is the fota file . when i try to flash it dbl erase error is occurring. please post fota file for wave 2.
There is no problem with the FOTA file…. Cross check all the steps and the files once….before your erase or flash.
(coz I will not be responsible for any damage occurred to your phone)
i will tell what i have done so far.
1. i flashed the cfw firmware given.
2.then i downloaded sdk n installed google driver
3.when i tried to update driver in device manager it showed it is upto date
4.then i copied zimage 1ly copied i didnt found it in my phone .
5.when i tried to root it ,it repeatedly asked to install driver .
6.then i downloaded boot and fota files for wave 1.
7.i tried to flash it but an error occured while trying to flash fota file .
8.when i tried with other(it worked normally)
9.it doesn’t work.
10.WHAT TO DO???
please tell me………
in previous post you said “Update driver !! Your phone always checks the flashed version of the driver…. Not the updated version.. To update the driver you need to Flash your phone once again with the updated driver “…..
i didnt understand it please explain it. i got no idea
two major problems i face::
1.usb driver update not happening.
2.boot files and fota files are not flashing throwing error.(only these files are thrown error)
please kindly tell solutions for these problems..
one small suggestion it will be good if you post a detailed procedure i.e some details in addition to the present post like solution for the problems stated above . please tell me a solution…..
@Yuvaraj:Will post all solutions to all your queries once I am in station.

Hello!
i gave up following the porting project earlier this summer, and what a bad timing to stop following!
what I’m trying to find out now, is if i flash my device(s8500), will the modem work? and can I dualboot? ( from videos it look like it). If this is the case, i wont wait 2 minutes to test this out!
oh, yeah, will google play (appstore) work?
I gotta hand it to you, if you have pulled this one off! anyways you have done a great piece of work!
regards
@Harald: As far as I have tried…. we cannot dual boot. And yes, you can use the phone as a hotspot too.
Check comments for more.

I have wave II. Windows 7 64 bit.
I tried your UPDATED method to root wave II. Here are the steps i followed :
1. Downloaded android SDK and installed Google usb drivers by clicking “install 1 package”
2. Device manager > right click samsung wave II drivers and tried to install manually.
But no matter which path i follow to install google Usb driver for wave II, i get an error “The folder you specified doesn’t contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with windows for x64 based systems”
Again, the driver folder has both x86 and x64 bit drivers.
What should i do to install android usb driver? Could you explain me the steps you did and tell me where am i missing?
Regards,
Chak.

How to do it on a Mac?
@ashrules24 – can you provide the procedure of flashing the provided firmware over Wave II ? You say everywhere that you need to flash the phone with Android but I don’t see the procedure anywhere. It will be helpful if you can provide the same,
plz help i wanna kno how to flash my device coz i can find zimage in my phone now wat to do
Hello peeps: Firstly Completely flash your phone with Polish Blood files(Series 1) Which will create the zimage. Then try flashing the…….. Android with the above provided steps. I must say, the Polish blood files and the Android are now a days very rarely patching up………Due to piracy rules and regulations of the App Store and Google. If lucky you will have a clean Android Flash with very little lagging apps. Even though it worked for me… I have undone my Android and flashed Original Wave II back… Coz original is always original. I suggest you to buy an Android phone as I have now.
Thts it from my side. Thank you. Keep visiting #mobilegameroids

i have install android on wave 2 but screen lock is not working !! pls me out!!
hey buddy unlock root software isnt able to detect my device. please help me.
Hey I have heard that there are some consequences after installing android in wave 2 like not working of usb,wifi n so on …Is it true??
is it ics android version and does it supports google play and its appss.
can we make phone call and use gprs
can all mobile functions be used as a new and normal model
Hey if i root my phone using the above method.! Will the apps and normal calling functions and messaging will work ? I just want to know what all things don’t work if i install this version of android.
Hi Deepanker Kumeria,
The Android Root is not so stable. Many have downloaded and they have succeeded but there are others too who have not succeeded in the Root. That is because, we are rooting a mobile which is not in Google’s List. Hence the support is not there.
I suggest you to try on your own risk (if you want to) but there are other BADA themes and firmwares which can make your phone look beautiful.
Thank You.
~Ash(admin)
hi .
is modem semi work in wave 2 after install this android firmware?
Previosly I have already stated in my comments that it is not stable. By the way thanks again for notifying others.
Will it work on Wave 2 pro? (wave 533)
This is not fully stable. So I do not suggest you to use this. Sorry & Thank you.
hi im at the last steps that i had to follow but it seems that i can not root my Samsung wave 2 it said ”
16:50:38 – Starting ADB Server..
16:50:44 – ADB Device: NOT FOUND
ERROR: Make sure your device is connected in Android Debug mode, and the drivers are installed. then try again.” what do i do now? please help me to get it rite tanx!!!!
As I have been posting it from long back Quentin, this root is not so stable. IT sometimes shows up and sometimes does not. So to save your phone… Its better to take a precaution by not doing any flash or root by any Android. Let BADA be there in the phone.
will this procedure work on windows 8 (64bit)?
The Android Root is not so stable. It may or may not. Mine did. But many others did not work. Now take Care.
hey dude can you tell me if that trick will work on wave 3 or not?
will i be able to get android on it???
No. Android is not available now. Once a phone is BADA let it be BADA, it better that way, believe me. I know. 😦
root failed.what to do?
@PrabhatSharma: Sorry for the late reply….But Android 4.0 root is not possible in Samsung. As Google has banned service to the android mod.
hey ashrules i have wave 1 and i rooted it successfully but when i connect sim(voda) no any network occurs if it problem has any solution help me…..plz..thanks…….
There is no issue with the Network. Rather, there could be a issue while flashing your phone. The firmware might not have the correct booting files. Try flashing with another firmware. Hope it helps.
Can I install android 4.0 on my wave 2 s8530 ?
