How do I root my S5660 with S5830 firmware on it ? The key combinations dont work anymore...

So I can maybe root my phone... And use terminal emulator to get into download mode...

Is there a way to get root?

Tried Gingerbreak, SuperOneClick
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
first of all, this development subforum is not for question thread. if it aint developing, dont post it here. post in general sobforum instead.

secondly, u dont make any sense at all. what does "The key combinations dont work anymore" have to do with rooting? what key combination u referring to?

edited: just realize, does ur S5660 even boot with ace rom installed in it anyway?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] aceian:
Which firmware u r using...???

2.2 or 2.3
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] djjonastybe:
v2.3.3

Vol Down + Home + Power to get into download mode?

Home + Power to get into recovery

I am able to get into Emergency Recovery mode... But Odin doesn't get further than <setup connection>
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] russ18uk:
Can you adb reboot download? You need to get into download mode.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] djjonastybe:
To do that I need to be root, correct? And I am not running as root :/
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] aceian:
Go into sticky and get gingerbread root zip file and flash via recovery to get root
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] russ18uk:
Yeah, I just tried. Haha. Well, maybe your best bet is USBJig. If that doesn't work, take it back to the shop/send it to service and tell them you had your brother's Ace connected and yours connected, ran Kies, said there was an update blah blah. Just try and blag it as best you can.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] aceian:
Risky... Don't know will it work... Try at your own risk....

Flash CWM...

Then reboot in recovery... Format system... Reboot... Phone has nothing in it... Hopefully you'll get your key combinations working...

BTW mind you... At your own risk
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] djjonastybe:
Doesn't work. Any other idea's ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Agloxp:
cant you use de su (switch user) command when connected trough adb shell?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] djjonastybe:
Nope...

How long does Gingerbreak take normally?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Agloxp:
I don't clearly understand if you can get into recovery or download mode, so have you tried this?

adb shell reboot recovery

or

adb shell reboot bootloader

I dont know if this tool work on you phone, but you could search for a compatible one, or simply use the equivalent command lines, they should work, has they are adb command lines and platform independent...

best luck...

P.S.-I suppose you are also trying to get support on S5660 forum, right ;)...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 1jesper1:
Cwm

Can you get into clockworkmod recovery?

Cuz then you can restore your backup.

(Btw, WHY should you flash a rom which isn't even made for your phone :confused:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] djjonastybe:
Can I manually root my phone? Eg the gingerbreak method? If I can get my phone rooted, then I can get into download mode so I can flash a new ROM
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
Afaik download mode doesnt have anything to do with rooting. Even on stock samsung rom unrooted we can easily go into download mode
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 1jesper1:
Key buttons for Galaxy ace, don't know if they are the samw for gio.

Copied from help guide:

Home + Power = Recovery Mode (whether stock or CWM)

Home + Volume Down + Power = Download Mode (normal)

Home + Volume Up + Power = ARMv9 Dump Mode

Home + Volume Down + Volume Up + Power = Download Mode (EMERGENCY)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] abi.z:
Hi you havent yet specified what state your phone shows currently.what does it show up when powering on.Does it power on actually.? tell the exact sequence after powering on.

Please try all the key combinations in the previous post.If nothing works then most probably it seems like you have tampered the primary bootloader of your phones arm processor..So only thing you can opt is a usb test jig.if that too doesn't work the phone musnt probably be powered on (hard bricked) and you can send it to samsung for replacement and tell som bla bla story to them(and hope they wont take enough pain to access your internal memory by accessing it at chip level, to know it has an ace firmware.. :p). Mostly youll have a replacement if it doesnt even boot via a test jig..

And I hope i am not wrong here.if so senior members pls do correct

One of my contacts does not display his name, just his phone number when in txt messages. I can't for the life of me figure out why?

He is linked up to fb and fb for htc sense and the details for him in the phone contact are all there.

Another contact shows the name but has M after the name, possibly where i may have had the m in that field for 'mobile' but the contact itself doesn't have it, i've synced with outlook and looked at the contact on that and the m is no where to be seen!! it's not from the sim either becuase this is a brand new sim.

I'm not impressed with the fb sync with this phone, its ****e, half of my contacts don't display pics of fb and they are defo synced both with fb and fb for htc sense

it's all a bit ****, which is a shame as i'm really happy with the phone

any ideas?

have you tried deleting both errored contacts entirely, (clear cache if you're rooted) and re-entering them?

Well, that was my next plan of action. I'm not rooted, any way of clearing cache if not?

ive just noticed another with the m, where the hell is it picking that info up from, it's simply not in the contact details grrrr

It's by design. HTC phoned shut down like this to protect the battery from breaking. Truly going to 0% will ruin a Li on battery and render it useless. All desires do this out of the box.

There is one method that fakes it so that when it is really at 10-15%, it fakes it to show 1% but I forget what it is.

It's all pointless really

I also had this issue last night. Phone powered down with my batt at 10%. Does not bother me now after reading matdroid and rootsu's post and understanding that it will save my batt from breaking.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Deus_eps_machina:
Now, I know there was a bit of confusion in regards to the details Telus posted on the page itself...

They're fairly anti-competitive towards Wind and Mobilicity in Canada, which is why the T-Mobile variants of many popular devices they have been snatching up - for example they have the HTC Ruby exclusively.

So the obvious question is: is the listing of AWS a total mistake on their part? or does this truly have AWS band radios?

If this is the case however, thank God cuz this will save me a lot of time and money trying to get the device! That and Telus doesnt brand their devices like T-Mobile does which is a huge bonus for someone like me who hates carrier brandingon the front of a beautiful piece of kit (which is something T-Mobile is very fond of doing)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
it's a true AWS phone, it was designed for T-mobiles, which is why i was so shocked when Telus picked it up

Telus no contract price I'm guessing $599-$649
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
at $599 i'll probably take it

at $649 no way.... some people even said it might even be $670 (669)

because if i buy it from USA $529.99 + next day shipping aprox $70 it adds up to just about the same as $599

Where can we buy it from T-Mobile USA and have it shipped to us here? eBay?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jicunningham:
It's here... and it's very nice!

They became available on the Telus site on Oct. 28 for $599 (no contract). My local Telus franchisees weren't going to get them until mid-next-week, but I called my local FutureShock in the early afternoon and they had received about 16 units, by courier, that very morning. An hour later, I had one in my hand. So, as much as I hate to do it, kudos to FutureShock.

I've been using it for a couple of days and I don't think I have any complaints so far. To me, it's what an Android phone *should* be, this being my second Android device (not counting 2 Android-based eReaders).

Apparently, it is AWS and can be unlocked to use any carriers' SIM card/network.

Nice phone. Battery is 200mAh more than the other Galaxy II models and the battery life has impressed me. I used it fairly constantly (mostly on WiFi) for a good 8 hours without having charged the battery before it started to complain about needing a charge.

Fast as snot, feels like quality construction, lovely display, reportedly Gorilla glass front, tons of memory/storage (16GB), supports up to 32GB microSD in empty slot, extra juicy battery, ICS in the works,... what's not to like? (I'll let you know when I find out!)

This is the best part. If you unlock it you can use it on any carrier, and use at least 3G, if not "4G", instead of 2G. Great to have it on T-Mo USA. In case the merger goes through with AT&T. I wont be stuck with a 2G phone.

I am very confused and nobody really talk about it.

T-Mobile and Telus do not show the same "sizes" for the phone/screen

it's basicly the same device, so I tought i could get a D3O (t-mobile) case for my t989D, but since they do not tell me the same sizes (telus say 67,3 x 131 x 9,4 mm witch is 2.65 x 5.16 x .37 in, and T-Mobile say 2.71 x 5.11 x .37)

since... there is not many accessories for the t989d with telus right now and my phone is naked :P

Hey Allgamer, I c or I believe ur using ur T989 with Wind?, I have a friend and he got the T-Mo T989, just got it and is getting used to it (using stock) since he was on the fruity phone and finally made the switch to Android, the thing is, on Mobilicity (which is what we're using) the phone takes forever to get signal when cold booted or out of death spots, is there any way to improve this?, I switched the network setting to search only for AWS signal but didn't have time to test it, however I was hoping the autosearch will work fast but it doesn't, wonder if ur getting the same issue, me, him and his sister will really appreciate the feedback!

Oh btw, the phone from T-Mo and the Telus model are the same, my friend even got a rubber case at the Telus store (the only case available for the phone...), so if u need accessories Telus can provide!

So, LG offers us a 2 yrs warranty, even if we root our amazing smartphone.

Samsung does not.

Everyone knows Optimus 3d has got better processor, but it still lags with every rom you actually put on it.

Also SGS2 has got very good hardware, but it's supported moooooore than our LG smartphone. :mad::mad::mad:

Why this?

@deox91: I had a sgs2 before having the o3d... I'd come back without any doubt :(

@dexxxterek: sure, it's popular, but how's it possible there isn't any unofficial (downloadable) gingerbread-based cooked rom (like happened with optimus 2x)? there isn't a decent kernel which fixes lags, there are no decent roms... nothing of nothing! :(

Gingerbread o3d update should be released in october, yes, but Ice Cream Sandwich is coming soon....
[LG Optimus 3D] Spartoi:
No, it doesn't. Exynos > OMAP4.
[LG Optimus 3D] DevJackey:
Actually, it does.

In terms of performance, OMAP4 is better.

On the S2, Exynos was just overclocked, but when both are at 1ghz, OMAP4 is better.
[LG Optimus 3D] Spartoi:
I've underclocked my SGS2 to 1 Ghz to test benchmarks and it still does better than OMAP4. And for real world performance, I underclock my SGS2 to 800mhz (to save battery) and notice no difference between it and 1.2Ghz.
[LG Optimus 3D] TheFirlen:
Maybe you don't know, but Cyanogen is working for Samsung, and he's help is invaluabe ;]
[LG Optimus 3D] DevJackey:
I believe reason for that is the 2.2 vs 2.3 argument.

One has better dual core support and one... =/ well everyone knows the answer to that one. So just trying to tell you that underclocking one to 1ghz while its on 2.3 and the other is running 2.2 still doesn't say which is the better processor.

Also, benchmark results are very subjective to many things. I highly doubt you would have the exact same things running on both devices when you ran the tests. Even if the apps are the same, the stock apps that comes with the devices and other factors also affect the results. For example, I'm on stock rom and a very heavy user. Quadrant gives me a score of 2138. Yet, real performance is still much better than you would expect.
[LG Optimus 3D] Spartoi:
I really doubt that GB will bring significantly better performance. Its all about optimizing the drivers to which Samsung did VERY well (compare Debut GS2 to a Released GS2). OMAP4 has a lot of potential imo, but I'll guess we'll see in the future with updates or the Nexus Prime.

We were talking about which processor was better, right? I don't know how else you can determine that besides benchmarks.
[LG Optimus 3D] DevJackey:
If you don't believe it, I can't change your mind.

We will see.
[LG Optimus 3D] Spartoi:
What performance boost does GB have? I remember Froyo had JIT but I don't recall anything like that being in GB.
[LG Optimus 3D] Delux9364:
Yes, but my aim wasn't to start a discussion about which processor is the best...

My aim was to let people able to do this, think about developing more on our amazing device.. :\
[LG Optimus 3D] curious_yellow_eyes:
Gingerbread is faster... I have an SE X10-

From using highly customized froyo Roms to the bloated, stock gingerbread was a massive speed shift, and then once the custom Roms came out it was like having a whole new phone.

I'm here because my contract is up in a few months and I'm considering getting this phone, actually it's a toss-up between this and the SGS2.
[LG Optimus 3D] Farhang:
Not true at all.

I have an SE X10 as well for a year and half now. The stock 2.3 ROM is A LOT slower than any custom 2.2 ROMs.

Only massively tweaked 2.3 ROMs like Wolfbreak or Trip's MIUI ROMs are fast. The stock 2.3 ROM is so slow and laggy.
