[Guide] How To Root Samsung Transform Ultra
Many questions have in come up on how to root the Samsung Transform ULTRA. Since in this forum, there is no thread on how to do this, I will show the process on how to root. This is written so even a noob is able to follow and understand the process. We were all noobs at one point!!!
Code:
Even though these instructions are my own (from another
forum) the processes involved are not. I did not make
the programs involved but have been tested thoughly by
myself and many, many others. Please follow all
instructions to the "T". Any issues that arises is
99.9% from part or parts of the manual not followed
correctly.

Download those first.
The last file: tu_root.zip needs to put onto the root of your sdcard. The rest to computer of choice.
Then:
(thanks to mavrikmeercat as I forgot this simple step)
You need to enable usb debugging:
Go to settings, applications, development, and tap on usb debugging. Usb debugging should have a check mark in the box now.
It is a good idea while your there to tap on "stay awake" too. This will enable your device to "stay awake" while charging or connected via usb to your computer. Some programs require the device to "stay awake" while programming, so it's just a good idea to go ahead and enable.
Power down phone..
1. Run the ODIN program you just downloaded.
2. Put your phone into download mode by pressing and holding the camera + volume down + power button at the same time.
You should see a screen pop up that states you are in download mode. Press the volume up button to continue.
Take cover off back of phone. Connect phone to computer via USB. Once connected pull battery.
3. On the ODIN screen you should see a yellow box appear in the COM Port Mapping (about 1/4 of the way down on the left) that shows you are connected on COM6 or something similar.
4. Below COM Port Mapping under Option you will see 4 options:
One Package
Auto Reboot
Protect OPS
Reset Time (Sec)
Make sure the first (3) are checked and Reset Time (sec) is unchecked.
5. Below Option under the Debug Option you will see 1 option:
Debug ONLY
Make sure and have that unchecked.
6. 1/2 down on the right you will see "Select OPS".
Click the "OPS" button and find the file you just downloaded: TransformUltra.ops
7. On the bottom right you will see "Selet Integrate Package - Check One Package Option". Click "One Package" and find the file you just downloaded build_7.
8. Press start.
IMPORTANT!!!!!! Once the phone goes to black screen, unplug the usb cord from phone!!!!!!
Put battery back in and go into recovery. If you miss this step then you will have to start all over again.
To get to recovery:
1: Press and hold the volume down button
2: Press and hold the power button
3: Once the Samsung logo appears, let go of the power button.
Scroll down to "install zip from sdcard" - press power button
5 options will appear on next screen choose the first "choose zip from sdcard" press power button
Scroll till you find tu_root.zip and press power button
Scroll down to "Yes - Install tu_root.zip" press power
Let it finish.
Reboot and enjoy....

Two ways to check if rooted. #1 do you have the super user app? #2 go into recovery mode ( power off... then press and hold volume down and power button) tell me how many options do you have.
Not trying to sound mean or anything but if you followed to the "t" then you are rooted.
This method has been tested by hundreds of members. This method is tried and true. Like I stated in post #1, 99.9% of issues , are because a part or whole of instructions where NOT followed.

Re: [Guide] How To Root Samsung Transform Ultra
As what above poster stated. When downloading DO NOT OPEN THESE FILES. They won't open with windows and there is no need. Hit save then follow op's instructions.

Where are you downloading the files to phone or computer?
The following is for computer.
Just copy the file to your sdcard where all your files at.
1. Plug phone to computer.
There will be three choices to chose from.
More instructions to follow. Please stay posted.
2. Choose USB - copy files from USB.
3. Select yes.
Next you should see the android character show up on phone.
Also, (if using windows) a pop up should show up on computer.
Open pop up on computer.
Open download file and find tu_root.zip.
Click and drag that zip from your computer to your sdcard.
It is now on the root of sdcard.

Re: [Guide] How To Root Samsung Transform Ultra
Do need to extract anything? All I did was click and drag it from my downloads onto the list with everything thats on my sd card and showed up as A WINWAR file. Do I need to do anything before I go to the next step? Quote:

Re: [Guide] How To Root Samsung Transform Ultra
Sorry I keep bothering. When I click on "OPS" and you tell me to find the TransformUltra thing I downloaded, I can't find it anywhere. Where do I look? It's not showing up unless I look for it by clicking on my document through the start menu.

you probably have winrar set up as your default application on your pc, if you were using winzip it would show up as a zip.
so no you dont extract the file
