I have done lots of reading and there is so much information, but after all that, not being technically minded I didn't feel confident myself so I sent my phone to a guy on ebay who Unlocked, Rooted, Installed a better ROM (Looks like Jellybean on the Galaxy S2) and fixed my low memory issues using appstosd, reasonable value as well, if it helps anyone else this is the ebay listing cgi.ebay.co.uk\221232033776 Regards, Mike

unlock / root GT-S5839i

Hi to all.

Haven't unlocked a phone for many years now lol!

Basically all i want to do is unlock (for free if poss ) my new S5839i from the 3 network. Can I just check the following pls:-

1. I've managed to get the zip file onto my PC and onto my SD card on my phone

2. took a few attempts, but managed to get into the recovery mode by pressing on/home/vol up all at same time

3. then managed to find the zip file and start the root process

However, it failed and i'm thinking the root zip file per the first page isnt the one for my phone?

eg in the processes it mentioned:-

“……GT-S5830, 5570, 5670 B7510….”

But no mention of my model GT-S5839i. Then at end of processes it states

“…..E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip status 7) Installation aborted….”

your help is appreciated, ie where can i find a correct root zip file for my the GT-S5389i - many tks

Here you go http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1551156

Try the above link and you will find the necessary files there. S5830i ROMS work on S5839i. Never try ROMS or other stuff that belongs to S5830 which will brick your device

rooting S5839i

Many tks. Have now managed to get the right zip root file onto the SD card and rooted it. Then (though still not sure what Super SU does?) downloaded this into my apps on the phone - hoping this would be next stage to unlock phone. But i don't think i need Super SU? and from doing searches looks like an app called busy box is needed? any advice appreciated - tks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jaybee1:
so near yet so far

Installed busy box too and followed an online tutorial so pretty sure i did smart install and it says super su granted permission. nb also installed bta version of 'galaxy_ace_unlock' app, but after pressing yes to find unlock code, it returned:

"....unlock code is one of these codes: or or or...."

have gone back and reinstalled busy box a few times now and still the same

maybe galaxy_ace_unlock beta doesn't work for the S5389i?

not quite there yet! removing all 'three' nwrk stuff [S5839i]

Thank you very much tried the Galaxy toolbox, though strangely was v v quick in unlocking with no unlock numbers quoted to enetr. Wasn't even sure it had done it - but inserted the o2 sim and i can def make calls.

Hurrah, finally able to make calls from the phone.

Few Q's are:-

a) Do i need to now keep the following as apps on the phone? -

super su, busy box, galaxy ace unlock, galaxy toolbox

b) I cannot access the internet (despite having allowance with o2) - have had look at network settings and all looks good, any ideas please?

c) still has the not so lvly 'three' splash screen upon start up (just after 'sams gal ace GT-S5839i' splash and just before main 'samsung' splash)

would appreciate help please especially re internet access and getting rid of three logos?

so grateful for all your help so far. Regs Jon

Will this format my phone?

I've tried rooting with SuperOneClick and DoomLord's method but didn't work.

I want to try this method but I'm feared to lose my phone data. Will flashing update.zip modify or delete anything from my phone?

How else can I make the best back-up for 2.3.6?:confused::o
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] hooked_on_droid:
An easy method and the one I use exclusively for rooting, is a program called Unlock-Root. It will install your Ace driver on your PC and root the phone.

Ace rooting....

Total noob question - I tried 3 different root files, and two seem to work and the phone says successful (but unsuccesful with the other) but I notice no difference so....how do I know if it took? I still can't delete anything, nothing seems to have changed in anyway, and I'm totally out of memory still. I need to delete factory apps because I can't even get a text message from Carlos Danger, with or without photo.

It's either root, or new iPhone!

[update]

I DID get it to say SuperSU has rooted it and so......NOW WHAT? I have it. It hasn't shown up as anything I can actually do with it. Can't delete any of the programs near as I can tell, nor even access programs I could before so.....what am I missing here?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] hooked_on_droid:
There are apps and scripts which will allow memory to be extended. Alot of ppl like link2sd ( available on google play )and there are tutorials here about using it. I myself prefer cronmods int2ext script, which for me works best ( google it or search the forums here ). As for deleting unwanted pre-installed apps...ironically there is an app for it ( Rom toolbox is one ). Some advice, always make a backup using cwm before deleting anything. Just in case something gets deleted that shouldnt. Last thing you want is to brick your ace .
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] John Ash:
sense narhate

Thanks, but I just bricked a couple of hours ago trying to find some more memory space.

Looks like I'm done with android and moving to an iPhone.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] hooked_on_droid:
IMO iPhone is crap. Have had the chance to mess with one and I will stick with android. U can get pretty good android for the same price or cheaper than iPhone. Samsung has the Note ( which is great, just really big ) and the S4. Both have tons of internal memory (16 gig) and I haven't really heard anything bad. My fiancée just switched to the Note after having been strictly a Blackberry user, and she loves it. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Silentbob999:
The chance that you bricked your device are... well... almost nonexistent...

Search for Odin, pit file and stock rom. ... Or better... Get Odin, pit file and CWM recovery flashable with Odin... Then flash any rom you want...

There is no much thing that can bring you to be really "brick".

I can understand that it’s a lot of work, it’s not funny... And the Ace itself his not exactly and high end phone that would worth to lose a leg for... But if you really want to go with an i-crap... Please do not put your phone in the garbage... give it to somebody that will do something with it.

If you think 16gb/32gb is enough and you don’t care about the absence of a micro SD slot I would recommend the Nexus... its less than Half the price (without contract). Those phone can last forever, all the custom rom are bug free because the source code for the driver are release to public... Anyway.. its just a thought
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] John Ash:
Well, okay, here's the problem. I have the unit flashed, that's not the issue. It's that it hangs up when restarting because I deleted two programs without backing up because they were "apps" and because I thought they were one of about 20 apps jammed into the tiny onboard phone memory that can't be deleted or moved. Unfortunately all the new programs required to delete these also hogged phone memory.

Anyway, they are called "Samsung _______" (I'd remember them if I saw them), but have no idea how to find them. Might able to pull them off my Galaxy Fit if I can find it. But trying to find this stuff on line is a PITA. Call iPhones what you want, but they work and they aren't starved for onboard memory and don't come loaded down with BS that requires massive amounts of work.

However, my Android was actually working almost as well as an iPhone with the crap deleted. Just took it one or two programs too far.

So, if anyone knows what the two programs are, the only ones that start with Samsung, that would be great. Even better if you could post them for me, so I can dig my way back out.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Silentbob999:
Where those app where located ?

/data/app ?

/system/app

You know that the way android work, stuff are oin different partition... deleting stuff in /system actually dont change anything at all if you have space issue.

This been said. I do not have stock rom myself so I cannot find those missing app for you.. but maybe somebody else would be able to.

---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

@John Ash

Actually... I had PSN_CLEAN_XWKTS_mem-mod_swapall-v3.0-signed.zip on my sdcard.

Found those 2 boys in it

/system/app/SamsungWidget_ProgramMonitor.apk

/system/app/SamsungWidget_StockClock.apk

I upload them to my dropbox for you.

When you put them back on you phone.. be sure to set the permission like any other app in the same folder ok
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] John Ash:
The apps I deleted were something like "Samsung Organizer" or something similar, they looked like just silly programs that they toss on just because they can. They showed up in the same area as all the other normal apps in ROM Toolkit and weren't the scary looking "sec.samsung.com" (or whatever) that I didn't touch. Right after I deleted it, the phone slowed down to a near halt, so when I restarted it, it wouldn't fully reboot.

Anyway, they're not exact;u system apps, near as I can tell, but just regular apps of some sort.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Silentbob999:
Please look in there

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] John Ash:
Thanks, those are probably the ones, just going to make a stab and getting them back into the ROM in the right place, thanks! Might take me awhile......
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Silentbob999:
maybe the apk name does not start by samsung.. (the app can be name in a way and the apk file in another)

If the file you are searching for is not one of those I extract you can download your stock firmware (or another version) on SamFirmware

Then from the zip extract system.rfs.

Open system.rfs with MagicIso (if on windows or mount it if on linux)

You will find every app you need

Good luck

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] gganon:
No. The ace doesn't require a root to be able to flash a custom recovery and/or custom roms. You can simply flash the CWM(or any other) recovery's .zip file in the stock samsung recovery and then flash the rom you want.

Are you using CWM to install root? If yes, then that's the problem. Always root from the stock recovery mode and then install the CWM. If no, then try this Universal GB Root (from the Google Drive) from the following link,

Conflict between Root and CWM 5.0.2.6!

At least in case of my S5830 I have experienced a conflict between CWM 5.0.2.6 and Rooting:

When I install CWM and then install Root.zip, rooting doesn't take effect,

When I first install Root.zip it takes effect but installing CWM 5.0.2.6 has bad effects for my system like problems in clearing what is typed wrong.

To be clearer :

Open the installer zip

Open folder 'files'

recovery file in there is cwm, and the tar.gz contains some other files needed for it

Ignore the other scripts - they are used just to get it on the device

Both are right. We try to pimp up our low end smartphone with OC and other bleeding edge features to have at least a glimpse of what a high end smart phone can do.

This Simplicity kernel is made for people who wants to go back to an improved but stable basic setup as it's name implies. If you want to play HD games on this phone, you better take an OC G3mod kernel.

@CDESAI Success with this new kernel project!

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
Chill guys

G3 is a smartphone but not a high end device capable of running everything you throw at it perfectly

You can play games on it, but not HD games, i.e most of the gameloft games but hey there are many more games you'll like to play

CF3D will help this and oc will help more but again CF3D is a free app and oc has its own disadvantages, biggest of them being battery

And g3 doesnt have a big screen to make gaming experience better, so no OC!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Mohanshbhr:
I think you should make 2 versions one with stock clock and one with oc. Max 800 MHz.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:
800 Mhz wont do much improvement over 667 if you want oc just to play games, so for now let it be as it is
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cdesai:

Busybox v1.19.2
