FAQ
AFTER ROOTING I CAN'T SEE SUPERSU APPLICATION?
As some people reported there is sometimes problem with the rooting procedure
files can't be extracted properly (applications,binaries) so from today
(04.08.2012) in every new update there will be an extra second alternative root
zip file recognized with the letter "b" in the end of the version number. As always
in life we must have a B PLAN. In this root zip file package it will be only the
SuperSu application and the supersu binary, no Busybox or anything else. So if
the rooting procedure from above didn't work for you then you should run again in
recovery mode the universal_gb_unroot_v12.zip to delete all the half extracted
files from the root procedure previously done. After that you can apply
universal_gb_root_v32b.zip known as Root Only.
IMPORTANT: If for some reason after rooting with the universal_gb_root_v32b.zip
want to install Busybox then when you open the application it will give you a
location to install busybox to /system/bin (this is for the reason becouse there is
no busybox binary in this root zip file) you just need to simply relocate the
installation to /system/xbin (to relocate the path simply press on the text
/system/bin it will open a new window and change it to /system/xbin) . This is
for a reason becouse in the future you might want to remove busybox and many
times happend that it can't be uninstalled properly leaving all the applets in bin
folder mixing the files with the system files from your Android OS. Then you need
to install root explorer and delete all the applets manualy and trust me is a painful
job. So the problem it will be solved very quickly by installing in /system/xbin. if
you don't like it to have anymore later just use the procedure for unroot (READ:
HOW CAN I UNROOT MY PHONE?) universal_gb_unroot_v12.zip it will delete all
the remaining stuff from busybox in /system/xbin and use again the
universal_gb_root_v32b.zip to root.

Chapter II
-Removing Thinkfree OfficeSame as Chapter I in many Stock Firmwares we find the application Thinkfree
Office, this stock firmwares in some cases are very problematic to make root on
them. The solution is very simple we just need to make a free space for rooting in
your system partition and remove Thinkfree Office. Apply in recovery the
universal_gb_remove_thinkfreeoffice_v2.zip and then you can use the
universal_gb_root_v32.zip or universal_gb_root_v32b.zip to finally root your
phone. Thinkfree Office will be deleted from your system partition but you can
always install the ThinkfreeOffice.apk whenever you want and it will be installed
in your internal memory (you can have the rooted phone and using again the
Thinkfree Office). If for some reason you need to take your phone to the Samsung
service center problem with hardware, software or anything like that you can
reverse the process to install Thinkfree Office back to the system partition (if you
have installed the ThinkfreeOffice.apk uninstall it first from the Task Manager)
using first the universal_gb_unroot_v12.zip to unroot and after that use the
universal_gb_install_thinkfreeoffice_v2.zip to install Thinkfree Office back to your
system partition and all will be back as normal.
