Is the Stock Recovery from KPN or any other 2.3.3 that much different from the KPO one ? Would it perhaps even be possible to flash this Stock Recovery on any 2.3.3 ?

Edit: Well i took my chances and just flashed the Stock Recovery on my 2.3.3 KPN. It worked. So if you you need a Stock Recovery you can use this one.

I was wondering if any rooting process would work for 2.3.5 even if it is not on the device listed. It's for a Samsung Phone.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Galotti:
Hello everyone!

I'm from Brasil and I bought a GT-S5830L.

I didn´t knew that it, from stock, does not support the 3G frequencies from my country.

I've read that you can change this maybe from a firmware change or something.

I had a bad experience hacking other Android phone and I don't want to mess this up.

Can someone guide me through this?

I've read quite a lot but I'm sure I didn't get ir right!

Is there any Brasilian here to help me? I can´t stand connection on 2G only!

Sorry for this newbie post, but we gotta start somewhere!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] russ18uk:
I'm not sure you can change the frequency. Maybe. Info on frequencies on the 5830x are available in the following thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1145939
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Galotti:
For what I've been searching, if I change my firmware to one that does support the frequencies used in Brasil, my 3G will work.

I'm searching for some answers now 'cause I don't wanna brick this cellphone.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] JonnyBoy6:
What frequencies do you want to use?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] man76:
I'm from Brazil and I am going through the same problem. The frequency used here is 3g 850/2100, and the course operator operates on 850 and 2100MHz operators in the other. As the ace s5830L has 850/1900 3G frequencies, the only carrier that would work on 3G operator course. How not intend to change carriers'm looking for a solution that makes our ace works in frequency 2100MHz. I do not know if this would be solved with firmware version 2.3.4 installed pq of living (s5830B) and yet the 3g continued in the same way. Anyway, I am also looking for a solution to this problem, please post who you feel here.

Portugues:

Eu também sou do Brasil e estou passando pelo mesmo problema. A frequencia utilizada aqui é 3g 850/2100, sendo que a operadora Claro opera em 850 e as demais operadoras em 2100mhz. Como o ace s5830L tem frequencia 3g 850/1900, a unica operadora que funcionaria em 3g seria a operadora claro. Como não pretendo mudar de operadora estou a procura de alguma solução que faça nosso ace funcionar tambem na frequencia 2100mhz. Não sei se isso seria resolvido com firmware pq instalei a versão 2.3.4 da vivo (s5830B) e mesmo assim o 3g continuou da mesma forma. Enfim, também estou a procura de uma solução pra esse problema, quem achar favor postar aqui.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] JonnyBoy6:
Ok guys, you're looking at it backwards. You have to choose the software (firmware) that matches your hardware (phone version).

The supported frequencies of the phone are based on the radio hardware that it has, this cannot be changed by the firmware.

The only way that you will be able to use both 850 and 2100 is by buying the S5830B phone version.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Galotti:
That's a shame!

I guess I'll have to settle with 2g connections only.

I was hoping that this firmware change would help me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DJ_Caibel:
So, I've got a MT3G that is apparently bricked. My buddy tried flashing a CM6 ROM and didn't root it properly - I'm assuming anyway since it's still S-ON. It powers up, gets to the CM Andy on a skateboard and gets stuck in a loop there.

I can get into SPL but that's it. I've attempted to erase the recovery and flash a new one with no luck. I can get it recognized via ADB with [ fastboot devices ], but I'm not sure that helps me much.

Any ideas on how to fix this? I don't mind the work, just need to find a way to get it past this point. If I can somehow manage to get it rooted from here, then flash a recovery so I can a ROM, that'd be awesome. Here's everything from the SPL screen:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT 1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)

CPLD-10

RADIO 2.22.19.261

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jeBACH:
Hi!

You're not recognized via ADB if you type [ fastboot devices ] and it gives you your phones S/N. You can be at FASTBOOT, HBOOT or RUU. To be recognized in ADB you have to boot in to RECOVERY or in to SYSTEM.

If you have working HBOOT (can boot to HBOOT with pressing VOLUME_DOWN+POWER), I suggest you to make a goldcard, download a stock rom for your MT3G (In FASTBOOT you can type [ fastboot getvar cid ], and the first 8 digits will tell you your phones CID number.). Extract the downloaded RUU and find the rom.zip (rom.nbh) file. Rename it to SAPPIMG.zip (SAPPIMG.nbh) and put it in the root of your goldcard.

Start up your phone with pressing VOLUME_DOWN+POWER.

If you get error about "Model ID" then your MicroSD is not a goldcard and you downloaded a "wrong" RUU ("Wrong" RUU (Phones CID not correct) can be good, if it is for MT3G like you have. Only you must create a working goldcard.).

If you get error "Main Version is older" then try to find newer RUU.

I hope, I helped you...

And then make the rooting with more care
[Nook Color General] UnAbsoluTe:
Running CM7 177 and I can't keep Nook turned on while it is unplugged. As long as it's plugged it works perfect, but the instant I unplug the USB cable it shuts down. Batters says it's is >77%.
[Nook Color General] patruns:
I am running 177 and have not experienced that. Try shutting it down while plugged in, unplug when fully charged and then start while disconnected.

I am assuming you did the update while plugged in. I do all of my updates unplugged with at least 50% charge. I only plug in to recharge. The Nook was not designed to be used while charging. That is why the connections get hot when you try to use it while charging.
[Nook Color General] UnAbsoluTe:
Thanks for the reply. I reverted to 155 and problems persist. Called up B&N and they are replacing it with a new NC. I'll check the power cable with the new one to see if it is the device or the cable, but I suspect it's the usb connection on the device. It always seemed like the weak link on the device since the beginning.

not working

Didnt work for me.

superoneclick worked saying i had temporary adb root, then i would run mts rooter and it seems like that when the cmd prompt comes up that it doesnt work.

on the first part it said

"cd: can't cd to /sqlite_stmt_journals"

then after I turn wifi on and the cmd prompt goes again I get:

"./exploid not found" and " secretlol not found"

any help?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Fezmonger:
one small hiccup

Used these instructions to root a friend's phone last night. There was one deviation we had to deal with:

While we could see the menu the phone only gave us the choice to run update (YES) or reboot (NO). Recovery was inaccessible. We ran the update (with the bootloader bypassed) then when asked to reboot we chose (NO) and then could select RECOVERY and follow the steps above.

Yes, we did repeat the UPDATE.ZIP process but this time it did not skip Bootloader. Soon CM7 was up and running.

Hope this helps and thanks for the great instructions.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] angelo420:
i need some help my says i dont have sd card when it boots up .Also it wont let me apply the update.zip .it says cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0

Ive already reloaded ESPRIMG aboput 15 times im stuck with a useless phone please help

Also my pc wont recognize my phone so i cant use adb or anything
[myTouch 3G Slide General] insanityrains:
Some sd cards work better than others. Sandisk with a little 4 work great. Try to reformat it with a pc and I think it needs to be Fat32

Your pc is not detecting your phone. Try installing HTC Sync from the Mytouch 3Gs support page. Also make sure to run it as an administrator while being logged in on a admin account
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Shroomster:
I actually rooted mine while placing the phone in SYNC Mode after removing the sync program and pressing back button on phone to have it stop looking for SYNC...Just remove SYNC program from the computer not the drivers for the phone to be recognized.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] weakflesh:
I downloaded the htc sync software from htc dot com /us/support/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-slide/downloads/ (xda's settings stop me from submitting a link as this is my first post), I then tried to rerun the SuperOneClick and it failed saying "ADB server is incorrect version" or something similar. I copied the ADB.exe from the HTC Sync app directory into the SuperOneClick, and wham bam it worked. Of course the MT3Rooter failed with the same error, so I repeated the copy and I had root.

Thanks for your help everyone, it is very appreciated by this sorta geek.

PS: As a software geek and a 42 year old jerk, it hurts my heart that XDA has to run such nasty anti-spam settings just to keep crap off this forum. Ends up penalizing the users with good intentions. I totally see why it has to be done, and I support the effort, just is sad that it has to be this way.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fixxxer2008:
how do you achieve s-off though? does downgrading, also downgrade your bootloader?

the goldcard app is not working, the site is down to generate keys.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ganjagarn:
Insanityrains: I have two stupid questions. Is there something I'm missing here? You don't have consecutive numbers for your instructions. Should I follow them in the order you have posted or in the order of the numbers?

Dumb question 2: Where is the download link for the ESPRIMG.zip file?

Thanks for your instructions! I hope it works for me.

UPDATE

I followed the steps to the letter. It worked seamlessly. Thanks insanityrains for putting all this together and the developer who actually figured this out!! However, few things I had to learn by doing it over and over again:

The first part worked awesome! (i.e. rooting and installing 2.1). It will keep saying there were errors and stuff but keep doing what insanityrains says to do.

The second part (installing CM7 with google apps was the hurdle for me): Follow his numbering in post #1 (once again, I'm refering to the second part) to understand what I'm saying below.

Before you begin, you don't need the ESPRIMG file anymore once you have rooted and installed 2.1 (the first part). So delete that file from the root of your SD card. By doing this, you can skip the annoying wait as it tries to reinstall 2.1 on your phone. Now for the two mistakes I did.

1. The first step was a silly mistake, but very much possible for someone to commit. Just rename the file "update" and dont add ".zip" like I did. Everytime I try installing the ROM it kept saying "cannot locate update.zip". I was scratching my head for a few times before I realized the mistake

2. Step #5. It will search for the ESPRIMG file and it is not going to find that. Select "recovery" then

For noobs, dont freak out while doing it. It was scary for me to root the phone. But once I did it fine, it was fun!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fixxxer2008:
so in order to install roms you have to rename them to update zips?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fixxxer2008:
anybody even here anymore?

theres too many outdated rooting guides on here. i already know i cannot achieve s-off now that we accepted the OTA. i already tried to root and it went fine but the clockwork recovery will not work. also when i boot into the 2.1 rom that i downgraded to i see there is no superuser app but it appears i am rooted because most root apps work minus wireless tether. i just want root and to run a semi stock non cm7 type rooted rom. is this possible with s-on or not?

if so can someone point me in the right direction please?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] iyq:
Worked!!!

Thanks insanityrains. Followed the steps and it worked. I would echo comments re: Menu choice for "Recovery" (see updates with fezmonger and ganjagarn).

Again - thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jacewt:
I thought someone on here said that you could use clockwork mod but you probably have to put it in, i can't help since I rooted my phone with the original method that was much easier.

Have you tried installing rom manager and letting it flash clockworkmod recovery?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fixxxer2008:
i was working on it for a client, i gave up. thanks anyways.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] insanityrains:
No goldcard needed and s-off has been shown to be possible just google it and add xda its here somewhere.

Theirs no SUPERUSER program when putting on the 2.1 that's why its recommended to put on CM7 because it has everything you need to get full root. S-Off isn't root its just taking off security on things that if messed with could possibly brick your phone.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ElBerryKM13:
I'm having the same issues:

"cd: can't cd to /sqlite_stmt_journals"

then after I turn wifi on and the cmd prompt goes again I get:

"./exploid not found" and " secretlol not found"

htc sync installed, Phone gets # on adb command after super one click so i know my comp is reading the phone right.

Any other suggestion?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] TK_4:
I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU insanityrains and all who posted and gave suggestions.

I was able to get this up in running after a couple of days and I'm excited.

Had an issue with SuperOneClick 1.7 so I found SuperOneClick 2.1.1 was available. It got me a bit further but I still had the "error: protocol fault".

I was able to resolve this by opening task manager and finding the location of the adb.exe file it was calling. The incorrect one was being called in the HTC synch folder.

To quickly fix I just renamed the adb.exe and then it picked up the one in the SuperOneClick2.1.1 folder and I was able to get it rooted.

Thanks Again....

The rooting process went fine

Though when attempting to install cyanogenmod 7, during the recovery mode and doing factory reset and partition, when I try adding the update.zip from the sd card I receive an error stating update.zip could not be opened, and the process fails

Please help?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] staypuft13:
You might have made the same oopsie that I did. Instead of renaming "update-cm-7.0.3-Slide-signed.zip" to "update.zip", you are really going to rename it "update" since it is already a .zip file.

If you rename it "update.zip", then you are really renaming it "update.zip.zip".

Once I renamed it to just "update", it worked like a charm. I hope this helps!

[myTouch 3G Slide General] taxigirl:
Just wanted to say a big thanks to insanityrains. It took me almost an entire football game to pull off the rooting and loading CM7. My only advice is that if a step doesn't succeed try it again. Also, don't freak out if your phone locks on the mytouch circle when restarting. I really don't understand why certain things failed and I also needed to download an updated version of SuperOneClick. I never thought I could pull this off so THANK YOU :)

Then I loose control over my computer and the automatic part begins.

The script then try to move files and change DIR,

the sqlite one cannot be found

on my phone so the exploid file is not moved.

Bootloader gets loaded anyways, but ESPRIMG.zip is not found, but it's there on the sdcard/...

I really appreciate all the efforts for making our noob's pathetic life easier, I really do. But it's so frustrating when even tho you

follow all the steps;

repeat it several times;

give up;

try a different method since it's not working;

then the loop restarts...

follow all the steps;

repeat it several times;

give up;

try a different method since it's not working...

and everything goes south anyways.

I turned off the wifi connection, set it to connect to the computer with the charge only option and USB Debug Mode is on.

I appreciate the effort, thanks for trying to make it easy for us.

------- UPDATE -------

Just an update, I'm not that noob, I have successfully installed Cyanogen 7 on my Galaxy 5 and I can use use linux, I'm not an expert, but I can use it. Sometimes I can code too, Java and PHP. I'm am not a genuine noob, I'm just a phone noob. Anyways, that makes me even more frustrated ;(

Is there a way to root and change the ROM using the command prompt via adb? Like 100% that way? I think I'll find that easier and probably make it easier to identify any mistake I can be making or detect something wrong on the phone.

I would appreciate any kind of help.

Thank you all. Really!
