Hi Guys I am a n0ob and dont have any idea about rooting or anything also read some tutorials about making partitions and all but didnt get how to make partitions on Sd card...so can anyone help me with how can I increase my internal phone memory of my device?
I am using Gt-S5570 mini so someone please help me with this.
Rooting would not be preferred, still if the ultimate option is rooting then let me know proper steps and ROM for rooting which will not brick my cellphone.
Also proper steps to unroot my cell if I face some problem afterwards and which is the most compatible firmware version which will not brick my cell phone? Officially its 2.3.6
Thanks

Here's are the steps.
Upgrade your device using kies
Download upd_1.zip ad place it to the root of your sdcard
Go to stock recovery
Select update from sdcard
And select upd_1.zip
Then reboot.
For partition sdcard
Backup your whole sdcard to the pc
Install CWM
Select advance option
Then partition sdcard

oh sorry for the dead link
and second one was also wrong
download zip from here:- http://www.mediafire.com/?zig495eaprcji1v (but you stated you have 2.3.6 so this may not work and you may need to use superoneclick)

I already read this tutorial but didnt get following part rest I followed :
You simply need to meet three easy requirements:
Code:
Stock Firmware installed on the Phone (custom ROMS not supported ...They don't need to!)
A microSD with two primary formatted partitions inside (the former 'to FAT32' and the latter 'to EXT4' filesystems)
Ready to Flash to your Galaxy Next via Odin
Thanks
firstly never use rom manager or cwm manager or nay other thing like that on mini
as they have hard bricked too many minies
then root your phone with universal gb root zip file
second see the firmware code you have
then download the same kernel from the second link I gave you
then use mini tool partition wizard on you windows PC to make two partitions of your sdcard
first partition must be primary with same file system your sdcard is having
second with alteast 1gb of space and file system as ext 3/4
a better guide is here:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
then ask here again what to do next
thanx

no need to use PC to root your phone just copy that zip to root of your sdcard and rename it to update.zip (it would be like /sdcard/update.zip)switch off your mobile
press power + home and keep it pressed till you get anything on the phone
you will be recovery mode then with the help of volume keys go to update from sdcard option and press power/home buttom
then select reboot
you should be rooted now

Either the file is corrupted or your sd-card has defects. Or maybe your SD-Card is full.
Try using other sd-card. If it persists, try extracting the zip file in PC, see if you can do it.

Hello all,
I'm wondering if there's any way of make an image from my phone, with all the softwares and data already installed and configured (just like Macrium Reflect do on Windows). Just like a backup, so if I have any kind of problem, I just have to flash my .zip into the phone again.
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried ClockworkModRecovery?
Fruit cake maker is a better solution for your question. Plus if you name the .zip it creates pg58img.zip and place it on your SD card root. Then you don't even need cwm.

just make a backup through CWM menu, it will backup EVERYTHING on your phone and save to clockworkmod/backup/..... in your sdcard. The backup included few .tar files instead of a single .zip, but the result is the same --- you can restore it (overwrite everything) to your phone at anytime.

When you backup with the recovery menu(power+volume button simultaneously pressed until u see the android picture), you will find this backup files either in the EXT SD card or the Internal SD depending the CWM version, in the clockworkmod/backup. All you have to do is to get into recovery mode and restore.....it works perfectly
It worked!
That was just what I needed!

I'm multibooting FroyoPro2.5 with alfsV8a-GDX kernel.. I think stock kernel is easier to setup..
Anyway, THIS is the file you need.. When it is extracted during the install it will make a 512MB data file for the sdcard install.. You'll be able to fill this with your apps etc.. You'll need at least a class 6 sdcard for this to work well.
Just follow the instructions carefully and you should be fine..

I've got a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 with:
Android version 2.3.6
Baseband version S5830XWKT8
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-1190851 [email protected]#1 Mon Sep 3 16:00:05 KST 2012
Build number GINGERBREAD.BGKT4.
I want to root it so I can unlock it and delete some useless pre-installed apps.
I've tried to root it following quite a few tutorials here on XDA (including various zip updates) but all I got was a useless superuser app without root permissions.
I think that's because the version I have is no longer compatible with those methods, but I don't know.
So I want to ask: Is there any method, no matter how hard it is, able to definitely root a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 with android 2.3.6?
And in the case it isn't possible, do you know if I take it to one of those "repairs" shops they could at least unlock it? or do they use the same methods?
Thanks!

Well, I Installed CWM, tried Delete_thinkdroid.zip (didn't do anything. Think free office is still installed and working), upd_1.zip, acegingerroot.zip, gingerbred-2.3.6-root.zip, CF-Root-S5830-v3.7-b84.zip, b84-fixed.zip and still no root.
Now, my phone boots with a blue triangle in the top left corner but that's all.
upd_1.zip gave the following error:
Code:
E:Error in /sdcard/upd_1.zip

Installation aborted.
gingerbred-2.3.6-root.zip did the same but changing the name:

acegingerroot.zip and CF-Root-S5830-v3.7-b84.zip seemed to install correctly but with no effect.

no. that you need is to liberate memory space to push root files to /system
Blue triangle is good don't worry (cfroot kernel installed )
Cfroot b84 fix isn't flashable through CWM, normal that your device aborted the installation
Your error message is because your sdcard is corrupted, so copy all your data from your sdcard to your pc using an USB adapter.
Then format your sdcard using windows in Fat32 format (you can do it using your phone and selecting format your sdcard in settings )
Copy the files again and flash it when you have free space
I'm going to provide you a script to delete a serius app, wait a moment

I advised you to reflash cfroot b84 kernel just to avoid troubles if it wasn't be installed properly

I had no boot animation problems, but anyway, done that.
A little problem i just noticed is that after reinstalling Gmail and Youtube (after deleting them with the script) those two apps seem to not be working and send a couple of error messages after booting saying "process com.google.android.youtube" and "process com.google.android.gm" have stopped unexpectedly and giving the option to force close or report... So you know if I can fix that?
EDIT: Google Maps and Think free office work fine...

You need to set the permissions correctly and delete Gmail.odex and YouTube.odex files if exist in /system/app before paste this new apps
1. Mount /system (R/W) in order to paste the apps
2. Just put the apps in /system/app and set the permissions like this (holding over each file, you'll change permissions)
x-x--
x----
x----
3. Reboot!
It should work
I'm having the same problem (root and get superuser app without root permissions. )but I don't have much of an idea on what to do. I have just swiched over from an iPhone so android is all new.
So my phone info is
Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 with:
Android version 2.3.6
Baseband version S5830XWKT3
Kernel version [email protected]#1
Build number GINGERBREAD.XWKT7
Can someone please run me through what I need to do to root it (I know how to get the superuser but I need to know if that prepared script (EXTREME) that removes Maps, Gmail, Thinkfree, SamsungApps and Youtube will do the same for me. Also how do you use the script (ie do you "install form sdcard") as you would the root.zip? I just want to remove carrier bloatware than I will unroot again. Or would superoneclick work for me? (nevermind superoneclick as I cant get it to install on computerputer keeps "encountered a problem and needs to close".
Thanks

Build number GINGERBREAD.BGKT4.
I want to root it so I can unlock it and delete some useless pre-installed apps.
I've tried to root it following quite a few tutorials here on XDA (including various zip updates) but all I got was a useless superuser app without root permissions.
I think that's because the version I have is no longer compatible with those methods, but I don't know.
So I want to ask: Is there any method, no matter how hard it is, able to definitely root a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 with android 2.3.6?
And in the case it isn't possible, do you know if I take it to one of those "repairs" shops they could at least unlock it? or do they use the same methods?
Thanks!

Why not if you have SuperUser installed? Search Titanium Backup and install it from Play Store. Remove any unnecessary system app using it. Root has nothing to do with removing the system app automatically or through Application Manager. So you will need the third party app like Titanium Backup.
P/S: Becareful with uninstalling/removing system app. Else you will render your phone unusable at all. (To unbrick it you will need more trick, search the thread in XDA to revive your phone)

I attached 2 scripts to remove some apps to get free space. Then you could flash root.zip successfully
Here you have ROOT + CWM 5.0.2.6. Fixed files too

Follow the steps:
1. Here you could find the scripts to remove the apps and get free space (it's compulsory for the last roms to push superuser files)
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2420830
2. You have enough free space now (your apps have been deleted, check it)
Flash ROOT + CWM 5.0.2.6. FIXED files to get root and a custom recovery

You can flash CWM first if you want

Put it on internal storage, NOT sdcard. And next time when you have a problem post in Q&A section.

Simply put the root.zip file in your extSD without moving it in any folder just simply move or copy it in your extSD
Enter the recovery (cwm) menu by pressing Vol+ Home and power key and simply flash the root.zip file
You must be on CWM recovery not the stock one

Ohh sorry I did'nt knew it...
I never tried anything with stock recovery and never recommended anyone to use it for flashing purposes thinking that might cause the device to misbehave
Until I'am successful in trying any new thing with my device I don't recommend it to others thinking it may harm his/her device which was the reason I recommended him to be on CWM recovery...
BTW that you senior, I'll remember it in future
