[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

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.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA

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
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/75819435/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.

Samsung Galaxy S removing vodafon logo?

Hi guys so first of all i was a iPhone user so i'm newbie at the Android development,i have a couple of question on which i hope you can help,i bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 but when the phone is booting it shows annoying Vodafon logo and Vodafon apps,is there way to put back default booting and apps? on the phone android version is Gingerbred is there way maybe to upgrade on IceCream sandwich?also one big question ,can Samsung can be locked i mean now it's unlocked on my network and if i do update over Kies will it lock to Vodafon or someother network is there way to check it?.Thanks

Hello rider17...
First of all, welcome to this amazing community.
The first thing you need to do is read, read and read... a lot.
The section reserved to our Samsung Galaxy S is very active and there's always something new to try.
To get rid of all that bloatware from Vodafone you need to flash a stock or a costumized ROM.
One of the most important tools that you will need is Odin. (search the forum you'll find it easily)
The first step to enter the world of costumized ROMs is the get ROOT.
There are several methods to achieve this but the one I recommend is to flash the CF-ROOT appropriate to the version installed in your phone.
With CF-ROOT you get 2 things in one step, ROOT and CWM (Clockwork Recovery Mod).
After that you can install any customized ROM, just follow the steps of the ROM Maker/Cooker.
If I helped you out, please hit the "Thanks" button!
If you need some more guidance, send me a private message.

Thanks @kavsko for your reply,does anybody else have suggestion to answer on my other question so i can start with Android

If the Phone is unlocked it will stay unlocked.
If you install a custom ROM you will not be able to upgrade using KIES. In fact you will not be able to use Kies.
I strongly suggest that before you root/install custom ROM that you look up how to back up your EFS folder. This folder contains your IMEI in a HEX file

If you have put in another carriers SIM and and are able to make calls, us the internet etc the phone is not locked.
here is where i suggest you start reading

Not really much help for your topic but follow what the guys above have suggested, if in doubt ask and be as detailed as possible when you do so, but make sure you read up on everything before you try anything you would want your first android experience to be a bad one. good luck

Well i read the whole [HOW TO] /efs Folder backup + Restore NV_DATA.BIN and the whole [HOWTO] [REF] [FAQ] [Guides] [Tutorials] Flash/Root/ADB/ROM [MUST READ!] thread i'm learning,by this tutorial flashing device isn't that hard ,but also as @Lexrs sad "you will note be able to connect on Kies" i can't connect now is it maybe the reason because Vodafon or the storte where i bought it flashed ROM?also guy's is there way to check liftimer counter on SGS ?

You are now on your way to having a rooted/custom rom.
1. find a rooted version of your kernel in 'settings>> "about phone"
2. backup EFS folder
3. find rom/flash rom

My rooted version is :2.6.35.7-i9000 BUJVA-CL220544 [email protected] #2 what to do with this?

Just look for a rootet Kernel, like Semaphore, CF-Root, Midnight e.g.
Take the one for your firmware, and flash with Odin.
Or you could also look for the latest Stock Firmware and flash this before flashing the kernel.

I did that and i rooted ,i used a CF-Root but i have a problem ,phone keep's restarting after booting up ,i used Odin 1.85 and CF-Root-XX-2.4 version,and the Android version on my device is :GINGERBREAD.BUJVA,it keep's showing me Vodafon blotware and restarting i described problem here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26698525#post26698525 .Please help me

Are you saying that you are getting a boot loop?
Can you get into Recovery or Download mode?
In recovery perform a factory reset (all apps and data will be erased. Internal SD card should be ok)
If this fails create a account at samfirmware.com and download the firmware for your phone/carrier/region
Once downloaded flash using Odin take note if it is a 1 file or 3 file (note you will need to extract from the downloaded zip to get to the Flash .TAR .PDA etc
1 file flash in PDA in odin
3 file is self explanatory
boot phone and once up and running attempt root flash again

I don't really know waht boot loop mean,but i can enter download and recovey mode,in fact i can enter the phone,but after using it for 5-6 seconds it reboots,do i need to do a EFS file backup?I tired wipe data/factory reset from recovery but it's the same still rebooting....????

Thanks now it seem's fine and rooted now when the phone is rooted what i need to do to remove the Vodafon sign/blotware,put another ROM ?do i need to do EFS backup i read that thread that you send me but i don't know how to use adb shell,is there easier way to do it ?

To remove Vodafon bloatware i use Titanium Backup locate vodafon app and Un-install (remove at your own risk)
Voda fone boot logo you can leave it there it is only boot images.
If you do not want to use the ADB way to backup the EFS folder you can use Terminial emulator from Google play and enter the commands directly into the emulator. This is the way that I backed up my EFS folder
$ su
# tar cvf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar.gz /efs
(OR)
# busybox tar cvf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar.gz /efs
$ su
# cat /dev/block/stl3 > /sdcard/efs_dev-block-stl3.img
(OR)
# busybox cat /dev/block/stl3 > /sdcard/efs_dev-block-stl3.img
Once you have the *.img and *.tar.gz you can copy them as normal to your computer.

Nope i was wrong the phone is still reboting,grhhh like it won't accept any kernel ,where can i find a damn kernel that work with SGS Vodafon(Germany) i recorded video so you can see what's happening ,sorry for low quality : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t7QObFHN_g&feature=youtu.be

Again news phone is now defintly fixed,i backup the Efs folder and img ,now how to remove the Vodafon blotware?

[Q] S Advance broke down, please this n00b really needs help!!

Hi guys,
I have a rooted galaxy s advance, and everything just worked fine for half a year or so but suddenly it wouldn't start on anymore..
I was trying to reboot it but it stops when showing the samsung galaxy s advance logo..
I've tried everything for as far as i know, reboot, wipe cache, factory reset..
I have the stock rom jb 4.1.2 xxlqe (dutch) installed, no mods..
I don't know if and how it's possible to put a custom rom(or stock rom again) on it because i can only access it via download mode..
I've exhaustively searched for a clear how-to but it's really unclear to me how to do it..
I've searched for people with similar problems but never found a solution..
The how-to's i find are so elaborate, and in great numbers so a good one is hard to find, i don't know what to do..
Does it matter which country you are from, what version of stock rom you have, does a custom rom include side effects?
I really need a simple step-by-step guide, if anyone could refer me to one i would die for it..
I am desperate! :crying: Really really thanks in advance!
Sorry for using bad english, it isn't my native language..

You should flash a firmware compatible with your device using Odin, just search it here. You'll find.
I won't give you a step by step because it already exists.

Follow this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198341
And search your firmware on samsung-updayes.com

Hi,
About IMEI null/null with 4.4.4 firmware, you should search in this Q/A forum, there a lot of threads asking for this issue. Maybe you should get an answer yourself
However, you should try again to do a clean flash of latest official 4.4.4 firmware with ODIN v3.09 by following this GUIDE HERE from @MaHo_66.
AFAIK, it's impossible to downgrade from 4.4.4 because of KNOX bootloader. It has been said many times in this Q/A forum. Maybe it exists somewhere a tricky trick to do it but I'm not aware of this.

In Addition to @FLooDW 's answer:
Try to use Philz 6.48.4 or 6.59.0 as your recovery rather then TWRP or the old CWM (6.0.4.7), especially DON'T use the latest TWRP from their official website, its a broken build and its known to mess up the partitions! That could be your problem if you have done that before...
Any recovery you want to use, download from my RECOVERY/GUIDE thread that FLooDW linked to you, use those they work fine.
PS. before flashing official firmware with ODIN, make sure you have a custom recovery installed, then boot into recovery, wipe system/data/cache/dalvik-cache/internalSD/boot/modem etc. this is to ensure when you have flashed the firmware, there is nothing left from the previous firmware that was installed.
Note: when explaining your issue, try to do that by providing as much as possible info about your actions before and after the problem occured, that way anyone who wants to help can help you the best way possible.

AGNi is not a ROM, this is a kernel. Did you flash AGNi kernel over official Samsung firmware ?
As MaHo_66 said, you have to explain more what you have done and what you need if you want us to help you.

Steps :
reflashed a Stock Rom then Rooted it then added Philz Recovery
Then Tried this rom : I9305XXUFNL1_O2UFOB1_4.4.4_KK.zip
Currently trying various modems to see what this gives me
Failing this will need to try QPTS or EFS Professional again.
* I know how to flash and root roms if you look at my signature along with kernels I am basically telling you what I have tried to get
this null/null away as I think its a baseband/modem issue somewhere as I have read various posts and some people agree.
Cant even do the *#197328640# or *#*#197328640#*#* to get into certain modes
Thinking it maybe the sim card slot now .......... I am losing my mind now!

There are few other possible solutions you could try:
- try this, it shows you how to get in service mode and the restoring of the golden efs backup, that should be present if its good.
If above doesnt work, then try the one below.
- have you tried to flash the param_bin file? if not try that with ODIN, it might work.. file attached.
Let us know how it goes.

H yes tied that file and didnt work
will the imei work from another phone or efs?
isnt that link just gps?

Samsung Galaxy S5 [PIT] [FIRMWARE] [G901F] [Everything Everywhere, UK]

Since I found them particularly difficult to obtain and use successfully with my S5, I've put together a few PITs and the right firmware for the Galaxy S5 G901F LTE/4G Plus model.
I know it's a fairly old model now, but I just thought I'd help some people out considering most websites offering these files are very slow, or no longer support it.
Note: I'm not responsible for anything that goes wrong with your device. Be careful and make sure that you follow trusted tutorials or guides on how to flash your phone.

- Please tell me if I've done anything wrong with the packaging of the files. I'm new, but I thought I should provide easy access to some last-resort options in case people were in trouble.
These files can be particularly useful when you've got your phone into a state of not booting up at all, and only allowing you to boot into Download Mode.
You can flash both of these with ODIN, however the latest version never seemed to work for me, so I suggest first trying the new version here, then the older 3.09:

Thanks alot for the PIT file!

These files can be particularly useful when you've got your phone into a state of not booting up at all, and only allowing you to boot into Download Mode.
You can flash both of these with ODIN, however the latest version never seemed to work for me, so I suggest first trying the new version here, then the older 3.09:

Let me know if I got anything wrong. Thanks.
