[GUIDE] Root your Galaxy Mini/Pop with 2.3 (Gingerbread) firmware.

Well, I see lot's of questions about rooting. Here's a small guide on how to do that.
1. Download the attachment to this post. (upd_1.zip)
2. Put the file on the root of your SD-card. (Not in a folder/directory, but on the top layer.)
3. Power down your phone.
4. Enter recovery mode by holding Home+Power-buttons at the same time.
5. Use the volume key's to scroll through the menu. Select 'Apply update from sd-card'(Could be something else, but looks like this.) Use the home button to aplly function.
6. Use 'Select zip from sd card' to find upd_1.zip on your SD-card.
7. When it asks you if you wanna apply the update, select yes. Use the home button to confirm.
8. Wait for it to finish, then reboot. Your phone is now rooted.
P.S. I'm sorry, but I'm not able to make screenshots/pictures. But, it ain't that hard.
EDIT: If this doesn't work, try Doomlords way. All credits to him off course.DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit

Tried it, and it didn't work... Don't know why it didn't. Got similar problems as using super one click. It almost looks like the exploit that it uses was closed by samsung. The upd_1.zip is one of the procedures that seems to be working all the time...
But, thanks anyway!
EDIT: The zip does NOT work on the XXKPI stock ROM. This does!!! Thanks!

Some doubts related to rooting !
1. I rooted my current firmware, and now planning to change the firmware (Stock ROMs only), so I should have to repeat the Process again, isn't it? (ie, applying Upd_1.zip file)
2. Does the Custom ROMs comes pre-rooted (CyanogenMod, Vanilla ROM, other ROMs etc) or should have to do the rooting process manually ?
3. Is rooting helpful to move apps like Official Facebook, Twitter, FriendCaster, Yahoo Messenger etc. to SD card? PS:- I'm not using widgets anyway.
Thank you!

Well, you must have done something wrong then seems that flashing google apps solves it. Not sure. Maybe worth a try?
P.S. Hundreds of people rooted their phones this way... So callin' it bull**** while you made a mistake is pretty lame...

Root for galaxy mini with gingerbread stock rom 2.3.6 does not work, not even with downlord or with the udp_1.zip method... is there another method to root it?.

You don't need to root your mini to install custom ROMs... as they comes pre-rooted
You can start with emanoN ROM... its still the best choice for me...

Please give me download links+step by step guide for beginers.Don't send me to other page.

ICS for beginners
Maybe you should first read more about root, recovery mode, and flashing in general, because when anything happen with your device, you may have to deal with odin for example.

If you're new to this, you will have to read a lot more than one page!
Also ICS is still only a release candidate for i9000, so tisn't perfect, there be [small] dragons...
Flake x

i dont think u should flash ICS now as u r a beginner...wait for a stable release,but u can always go for the GB roms..

Good guides are available
I, being a noob, installed ICS just fine using a really clear step-by-step guide from theandroidsoul.com/android-4-0-update-for-galaxy-s-i9000-custom-rom/
Download links are included in the guide, and I encountered no major problems so far.
Just 2 more tips: if you get an error during the flashing, just reboot into download mode again and flash again and if you get in a bootloop after updating from zip, reboot into recovery mode and update from zip again, should work.

[Q] Help needed, CWM Manager need CF-root V5.0 or newer?

Hey Guys! Im going to explain how i got my self in this situation
I got my new Note 2 days ago and decided to root it at first. (KK4)
Which i did but not with CWM Manager so i used the InitialCFRootFlasher to get CWM Manager working.
Then i used Odin to flash the XLA4 on my device so i could get the RocketRom after that. But now when i want to go inte CWM Recovery mode to do a Nandorid backup i just get to the original recovery mode. And when i open CWM manager it says that i need a CF-Root V5.0 or newer.
What should i do? Really didnt know how to search for this so sorry if there already is a thread about this.
Please help me out guys
Dont wanna ruin my phone because i didnt know better
Thanks in advance!

Keep calm mate, don't worry.
I just wonder if your phone is properly rooted or not. If it is ok, you can download and flash CF-Root for LA4-v5.0 here http://download.chainfire.eu/140/CF-Root/SGN/CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LA4-v5.0-CWM5.zip
If not, you can read clearly this topic, thanks to CF to solve your problem:

If you have use PC odin to get LA4(and seems you did it), then simply, you have lost Root + CWM.
N LA4 is not necessary b4 Rocket ROM.
If above is true, you have just option to downgrade n Re root + CWM

Oh, didnt see the replies before i edited it, i solved the problem just like u described in ur post taycuong76
didnt scroll down enough to see that there was a CF-root for the LA4
thx anyway love to see the great support and that everybody wants to help even if there already is a thread about this. Just makes me more satisfied with switching from the toy iphone 4 to a real phone
Got rocketrom on my phone now, just amazing that there are so many custom ROMs to choose from
Thanks again guys

[Q] Rooting Galaxy Ace GT-S5830L

Hey all
I have been trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830L for the past couple of days without any success. I am right now running 2.3.4 with Build number mentioned as Gingerbread.UBKP7. The prevalent methods such as using the root.zip file / using superoneclick abort in the middle of the process. Any help would be highly appreciated
Thanks
Sudharshan

Cf-root ?
Defy-ing all limits.

S5830 and S5830L are The same phones with different basebands so if it works for S5830 it will work for S5830L
Enviado desde mi GT-S5830

Still no luck rooting s5830L or s5830T
I thought renewing this thread might get the attention of someone who has successfully rooted their Galaxy Ace GT-S5830L or GT-S5830T with Gingerbread 2.3.4 DDKQ4. I'm a full on newb at all this, and have been scouring this forum for answers the past few days.
I got my S5830L a couple of weeks ago, and getting it rooted has stumped me. roidzmaster and oldernerd with S5830T models have been posting in this thread, but have not solved their similar rooting problems either.
I have read and tried files for rooting found on stickies and tutorials in these forums here, and here, and on Yagya Gaire's page here. The files and instructions were identical to ones I found elsewhere on the net here, and here. But my Ace responds with this error:
error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7) installation aborted
So:
1. Can anyone who has successfully root their s5830L please respond and tell me how it was done?
2. And can someone confirm what I read in the Newbie Guide for your Galaxy Ace sticky that suggests that before I root, I can install Clockworkmod and completely backup my phone to a custom ROM? I followed a link on that sticky to a page with a link to download ClockWorkMod 4.0.0.9. And I also found a newer Clockwork Mod Recovery v5.0.2.6 on Yagya Gaire's page. But I'm not sure if it's wise to install ClockworkMod before rooting.
3. Is there any reason to prefer one of the methods Yagya suggests for flashing clockworkmod with Odin and CWMManager.apk rather than Ace's recovery mode?
Thanks for any help on this.

I had the same problem, I can't remember the name of the site I tried but I can give you the names of the files I downloaded, there were 2 different ones I tried, the first did not work but the second did, here are the names:
upd_1.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/?te9cdr348u7j4xz
I think this was the one that worked for me, it was so long ago, PM me if you get any problems.

Thanks amd-dude... but no luck on that file. Have PMed you.

Well this dropped to page 2 of listings a while back... I was really hoping someone might have a solution for rooting the L model at some point today.

The file called AceGingerRoot.zip worked on stock 2.3.4 L version (umkp3). Can't upload it right now, look for it in Latin android forums.

Thanks... in fact I just had that suggested a little while ago, and I've found 2 different versions.
Do you know if S5830L phones have been successfully UNrooted with the unroot.zip file I've found in many places after rooting with AceGingerRoot.zip?
It seems many methods of rooting require a matching unrooting file to work properly.

Well, i've never had the need to unroot.
Unroot is useful if you're taking your Ace to SAT without losing your warranty. Chances are, when that happens unrooting won't be possible (if only we had a brick for every time someone tried ROM MANAGER on their Ace).
If unroot.zip doesn't work, just reflash stock (or factory reset) and root will be gone. That's when CWM becomes useful, you can always restore your backup and have your phone the way it was.
This is the one i used to root my first time on stock 2.3.4 GT-5830L (on stock recovery, not sure if it works the same on CWM:
AceGingerRoot.zip

Downloaded my stock S5830LUBKP7 ROM from samfirmware and plan to flash with Odin if needs be. Just want to insure I can get warranty support.

I take it you haven't tried unrooting with unroot.zip I don't know if unroot.zip resets everything AceGingerRoot.zip configures... but I read the very bottom of one webpage that might imply it would work.
Thanks so very much for your feedback dxppxd.

Well the rooting went very easily. I had a choice of 3 methods, but I just ended up extracting 'updater-script' from root.zip, adding an L to the end of GT-S5830 in the script, made a new zip archive with it, and flashed the phone in recovery mode. Tested unrooting with unroot.zip too, and that worked fine.
Now on to installing CWM and backing up the exiting ROM. I originally found v4.0.0.9 for the Ace, but now see see Yagya has a v5.0.2.6.
Does anyone have a link to info on what all CWM can do, and if there's any reason to prefer the older version over the new?

hi i was wondering if you could up load the file you changed to root your phone with im having the excaxt same problem.

Here's the root.zip I modified and the unroot.zip file that was basically the same file I found online in several places. Post back and let me know if it works for you.

I had the same problem as you.
The one who worked was AceGingerRoot.zip
Its the same method to install as upd_1.zip
Just other files and other name.

That zip had one extra file in the archive that my root.zip didn't have, and 2 that were very different. Also I found the same root.zip file paired in several places online with the exact same unroot.zip. So since I'm still just learning Android/Linux, I felt safer making a simple change (adding the L) to the root.zip file and gambling that the matching unroot.zip file would work properly to undo the changes that root.zip had made.
I couldn't find any web pages that offered any matching file to unroot the changes that the version of AceGingerRoot.zip they offered as a download would make. But the various versions of AceGingerRoot.zip and root.zip are so similar I'd bet you'll find that unroot.zip file will probably unroot your phone too. Have you tried it?

I'm having the same problem, when i try to update from sd card, it aborts in the middle of the proccess.
Have someone already succesfully rooted for the Ace gt 5830L, if the answer is yes, can you provide a guide for the method (and the working update)?
Thanks in advance

Hey buddy I also have the GT 5830L and could not root it with any other files out there, So I downloaded TakuSkan's root.zip from POST #14 and "used it" from the recovery menu and it worked like a charm.

Which root for Gingerbread XWJVI?

I would like to root my Samsung Galaxy S but i cannot find the right root file for my gingerbread xwjvi. I would like to afterwards flash to the new android 4. So it needs to work with clockworkmod.
I have look through this thread but not found any for XWJVI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108

If you find the right root file, tell me please! I also need it!

FOund it but confused
Alright the root file is over here - link This works only if you are running Froyo(2.1)(Do this at ur own risk .Im not responsible if anything goes wrong!!!!)
You have to install this root file by booting into recovery and then installing the update.zip by selecting install update from sd card in the bootloader menu(I am assuming that u know how to do this but if you dont just post it)
By the way you can flash(install) android 4 custom ROM using the stock recovery too. Why do u wanna use CWM only to flash the ROM???

THanks for your answer webconnect.
Actually you are right when you wonder why i only ask for the CWM.
What i actually want to do is to have the lastest stable android on the phone.
Then only thread i found about this stated to root and then use cwm.
If you know another way with the stock recovery instructions would be much appreciated.
Thanks alot in advance
