Hey,
First of all, I tried to find the answer tot he problem in the forums before posting but I was unsuccessful.
I am having some trouble rooting my Bell i9000M. It came with Froyo when I recieved it. I tried androot, z4root, and SuperOneClick but they all failed. In my forum research I came across some comment that said z4root does notwork with the UGJK4 version.
I am restricted to 2 computers, a Mac and a laptop running Ubuntu Linux, so it'd be difficult for me to use Kies for anything.
What is my next step in rooting the phone?
I also tried to flash a kernel, which I read I can do without root access usining heimdall but this error occured: unknown required load command 0x80000022.
My phone is able to do into 3-button recovery and download modes.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Alex.

Upgrade to Jl2 use superoneclick it works.

have done a lot of reading over the last week trying to work out how to root my SGS i9000M, checking both these forums as well as android & phandroid, as well as googling the issue and trying the Market. I've also checked out many youtube videos on this topic but they seem out of date now. I note the most recent thread on here by liv4air (march 2011) but it doesn't really help with my query.
I am a total noob with regard to this - only heard about rooting a couple of weeks ago but I definitely like the idea. My 1st handset had to be replaced due to a sound issue (it had 2.2 Froyo) - was replaced with a handset sourced for Canadian market (linked to Bell - has lots of stock apps from them that are useless to me). I'd like to get rid of them to start with, but this handset is running Eclair 2.1 - didn't realise this for awhile after it was replaced and didn't actually understand the differences between the builds and firmware.
So now i've got GT-i9000M, Eclair.UGJH2
kernel [email protected] #2, firmware version 2.1-update1 (updated via Kies).
I have tried the one click root download which put the 'update.zip' file on my SD but when I tried to install this in the recovery mode (have discovered that I have the download and recovery mode buttons - also totally new to me!) there was a red error message:
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Have seen the Ryan ZA OCLF in Market too, but understand that the 'rooting' ability has been removed from that app.
Have downloaded the Odin3 program to maybe try to root it via this method but am confused about how to get kernels/which ones to get...or even if that's what I have to do! can find various kernels etc at SamFirmware but not really sure how to use them.
Am I even close to working out how to root this phone!?
Please help!
Flash EZbase : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991792 with odin. All the instructions you need are over there.
It's a complete, stock rom except for a few modifications (such as root and cwm recovery), you can choose to download froyo or gingerbread depending on what you want to flash next, if you do.
(Froyo is the 2.2 android OS that has more stable custom roms/kernels while Gingerbread is the new 2.3.3)
Also since you're on a i9000m, you may want to flash a "i9000m" modem (with the 850mhz band) found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391 after flashing, but it's not necessary.
Thanks for that link - it looks promising so i'll read through it properly and give it a go soon. I can't query to that forum as it's a development thread but a couple more queries...just want to make sure i don't do anything stupid!
The instructions state: Download all the EZOdin, EZbase CSC, PDA, PHONE and PIT if you do not have Samsung Kies installed, The Samsung USB Drivers will be required to.
Do you know if this means to download ALL those things if I don't have Kies installed, or just PIT if I don't have Kies installed? I do have Kies installed so not sure which of the above I require.
And on the Kies topic, it also states: If Samsung Kies is used please make sure you kill all Samsung Kies related services that are running (kies, tray agent, etc.)
sorry if i'm making you smack your head in disbelief at my ignorance, but does this mean I can use Kies to flash a kernel to my phone (and hence not need the above)...or that when using EZOdin to flash my phone, I need to make sure I have Kies completely shut down during the process?
And I assume by having Kies on my PC, I do not need to download the samsung USB drivers.
Thanks!
What the first sentence means is that you will need the usb drivers if Kies is not installed. There's a period missing I guess.
For the second one, it means you need to close Kies completely before flashing.
Thanks!
Got EZOdin, and the PDA/PHONE/CSC files, but when I click on the EZBase pit file this is all that's written on the page it opens:
v˜4
Edit: don't know why the rest of my post wouldn't complete above, but no luck in downloading the EZOdin.pit file, either at home (or now here at work).
Any thoughts? Reiterating my noob knowledge (or lack thereof) - I assume the .pit file is crucial to the process? Is there anywhere else I get this file, or another .pit file that will suffice?
Maybe i'll do some reading on PIT....
Rooted successfully!
been a bit of a task over the last fortnight trying to work out the ins & outs of rooting, the ways to go about it and to find a method that worked, which i've finally done.
this is really just a post in case anyone in a similar position and feeling as lost as i was along the road to discovery might benefit from how i managed it.
(and this assumes you've already read the many disclaimers out there about bricking your phone, & making sure you do a lot of reading of the threads on this topic)
i ended up using shortfuse superoneclick. got the program from shortfuse.org - v1.9. i downloaded it and ran it with my anitvirus turned off. It worked fine as per the instructions on the website (shortfuse.org) or in the thread here.

Now rooted and have gone and obtained TiB, Terminal Emulator, Wireless Tether and Root Explorer.
Had the speedmod kernel downloaded and was going to try to flash it to my phone via Odin as per the link you provided but wasn't sure if the kernel itself would root my phone and didn't get replies for my query about that.
So...now that i'm rooted you would still recommend flashing the speedmod kernel? I would assume mainly for the benefits of the kernel itself? Any likelihood of problems arising, having already rooted with SuperOneClick?
Thanks for your advice - the speedmod does sound good and have heard many happy reports from users.
yes it would have rooted you hence my suggestions for using it: sorry to have not been more clear
yes the speedmod kernel would be an upgrade over the stock one but my signature indicates what I use now: very fast and outstanding, not available on xda
I was never able to get oneclick to work as it was blocked on my pc, so my solution stemmed from having to find an alternate answer to a problem like yours
its fun once you get started: lots of help, even more opinion!
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

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
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.

Hi
I have been around the xda forums for a while, but never got to register. Anyway, I am not a complete noob neither am I a dev, let's say an electro fan. My sister just bought a brand new junk S5570, she has been having trouble with the very limited internal memory that is already fall of bloatware, even SMSs could not be displayed due to the shortage of memory, I tried to move everything to the SD with no chance, Samsung's shtware is there to stay. I decided to install CM7.2 which I had already successfully installed on many handsets. I rooted the ****5570 and have been having trouble installing CWM because Odin v4+ just doesnt detect the phone what ever I do, use different drivers with no luck at all, but the weird thing is that its detected by Odin v1.85, I accidentally flashed cwm.tar using Odin v1.85 and now the only thing I can access is download recovery mode (not recovery mode). Now Odin still detects it, I want to know how to flash a stock firmware using Odin v1.85, please guys help me I'm in a really embarrassing situation and my sister is not aware of what happened, she has been dreaming about an android phone for ages and it's certainly devastating to see her beloved phone turned into a paperweight please help me guys and quick
I think v3.xx would work as well

ONLY 4.38 will work. Other Odin versions can mess up the phone. Go to samfirmware.com, download s5570 stock ROM for your country, get Odin 4.38, tass.ops and flash. After it flashed, hold home+power until stock recovery comes up, then wipe data and you will have a stock ROM.

I thought that the suffix "i" indicates its region, just like Sony does, for example ST25i means international, while ST25a indicates america

I was lucky my phone did not brick, But I was also lucky I made a Nandroid backup on the day I decided to flash CM10 . So I am now back on Stock ICS. What a relief.
But to anyone lurking on here; How would I get past the Odin Boot.bin?
lucky u do a backup b4 doing stupid things ha ha ha…
normally i'll flash back stock via Mobile odin n always 100% success.
for pc odin not sure maybe someone will give u the answer.
good luck！
Glad you have resolved it.
Remember to read the stick threads on the General Forums on what not to do.
Wiping on stock ICS kernels is potentially dangerous, and we do not know what rom/kernel you came from.
Bear in mine of outdated instructions on other sites like Youtube.
Also, we do not know what phone model you have, and flashing the wrong files on your phone can cause permanent damage.
(RESOLVED)
Alright so in order to not bore you all, ill get to the point. I messed up trying to do impossible things with my I537 because I didn't read any forums before trying... stupid I know. That being said I now have a "soft bricked" phone stuck in download mode. I have been looking around (I assume not hard enough) for the right file to flash with ODIN to get me back up and running so I can actually do my research this time before playing with different stock roms.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the right files to unbrick this thing?
First things first: this forum is for the SGH-I537 AT&T Galaxy S4 Active, not the I527 Galaxy Mega. I just want to make sure you have the right device. If you have the Mega (I527), you want this forum, and ignore the rest of this post.
If you do in fact have the Galaxy S4 Active (I537), then check out this thread, it has all the official firmware files that have been released for this device. I would recommend using the firmware files for NE3 (KitKat) to flash in Odin. The NE3 build is the easiest to root, and you can always use the keep-root method to upgrade to lollipop if you so desire.
Oh yes sorry that was a mistype. I did indeed mean to type I537. Ok Ill give this a shot and update on how it goes.
Ok so Im currently downloading the Full Odin package, but I have already rooted the phone with towelroot. Is that going to be an issue?
Nah it won't be a problem. Flashing firmware files with Odin will unroot your phone (it resets everything to original factory settings). You can always reroot with towel root again
Ok new problem though, I was able to get everything flashed through ODIN, it restarts; then I get the Samsung boot screen, att boot screen and then it just goes black. I put it back into download mode and tried to re-flash it a couple times but it keeps doing the same thing. Thoughts? This Is the section I got the file from;
I537UCUCNE3 (4.4.2) Released 2014-06-06 - OFFICIAL
Issue has been solved, I just had a battery issue but after changing that and letting the phone charge up it started up great. Thanks for all your help "thisisapoorusernamechoice"
