[General Questions and Answers] miqe:
I spend a lot of time reading the forums but my new phone seem to have a different baseband firmware then anything I saw.

baseband : s5830dtlki4

its a GT-S5830D , Galaxy ace

I want to root it to use a sd card partition to install my apps.

I did not find any tutorial or tread explaining if and how I can root a KI4 firmware, all tutorial start with KPH and other firmware as a base.

I dont want to brick it its brand new !

how should I proceed ?

super one click ? Clockwork recover (of something like that)

and what files to install (for my "unique" firmware)

thanks

ps: im new to cellphone modding but did it on other hardware.
[General Questions and Answers] spinlock.ca:
I have the same question as well. Here is some additional info about my situation:

Provider: Koodo

Model number: GT-S5830D

Baseband Version: S5830DTLKI4

Kernel: 2.6.34.7-perf-CL568978 se.infra@SEP-74 #1

Android Version: 2.3.4

Build number: GINGERBREAD.DTLKI4

I tried following the instructions here: androidflip dot com/root-samsung-galaxy-ace-android-234-xxkph-gingerbread-firmware, but it failed, specifically when checking the model number (inside updater-script):

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5830" ||

getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5830" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5570" ||

getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5570" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5670" ||

getprop("ro.product.product") == "GT-S5670"||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-B7510" ||

getprop("ro.product.product") == "GT-B7510"

);

I was tempted to add my product and device id to the assertion, but I thought I'd post here first to see if that's a safe thing to do. There is a surprising lack of info about this specific configuration on the web right now.
[General Questions and Answers] MethodMan:
I also have the "D" version of the S5830 too and haven't found any sources for flashing this version. I even asked for help in another thread but it looks like this DTLKI4 version has stumped the 'pros' when it comes to ROM cooking.

I don't know what Samsung has done to lock out the firmware.
[General Questions and Answers] stewcotts:
I've rooted my Ace S5830DTLKI4. Make sure you back up that factory rom. I still havnt found a cure for mine. Install CWM from your SD card in recovery mode and you can also root it from there too. I have my original Telus stock rom but cant get rid of CWM so I can send it back. Not too many forums on this one. There are a few of us looking for a stock Telus rom for our ace"s. Sucks it does

Also have the S5830D Ki4 (Koodo). It was a bit of a pain, but found all info needed from XDA and google :)

-Rooted with "upd_1.zip" from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12874680#post12874680

Needed to add following line in "updater-script" (upd_1.zip\META-INF\com\google\android):

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5830D" || getprop("ro.product.product") == "GT-S5830D" ||

-Used CWM 5.0.2.6 (recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip) from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1291327

Needed to remove following from "updater-script" (recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip\META-INF\com\google\android):

Deleted everything before "ui_print("Clockwork Recovery 5.0.2.6")"

Works great, tried a couple of Roms and settled with CM7 RC0.

*I have no idea how to get it back to stock though. Original backup does not work anymore. Also tried (Russian) stock firmware flashed with Odin (5 files), but that messed up the baseband and could not make calls anymore although everything else worked. Luckily found "Modem_S5830DTLKI4.tar" posted somewhere on XDA, reflashed and that fixed the problem (Had already reflashed Custom Rom at that point)

If you're wondering, It's my wife's phone. She didn't like the first few custom Roms we tried, hence trying to get it back to stock...

I'd also like to point out that in the process of figuring this out, I had originally flashed version 4 of clockwork recovery before version 5. Don't know if that makes a difference...

I fix computers, but I am an Android noob... Just sharing what worked for me, don't blame me if something goes wrong >.<

Cheers.
[General Questions and Answers] stewcotts:
Understanding most of what your saying but not sure about the adding and deleting of everything. Im with Telus and dont want to root it unless I can restore to original settings. I still have 11 months on my warranty. Mainly I want to free up ram so it runs smoother. Looking for help please
[General Questions and Answers] c3d76:
Not sure, but at the bottom of first post here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12874680#post12874680 , he attaches the "unroot.zip" file. I don't see that it is specific to any s5830's in the updater-script, so I'm guessing it will work?

I'm attaching the modified "upd_1.zip" that worked to root my device, as well as the modified "recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip" that I used to install custom ROMs.

Both have the edited updater-script as per my previous post.

I don't think you will have a problem with the warranty if you just Root/Unroot.

But installing a custom ROM is a different story. I could not find the original firmware anywhere to flash it back, and as I mentioned the original backup I made with clockwork does not work (stuck at Koodo logo)....

Good luck!

Got back to stock Koodo firmware, Kernel, Baseband, S5830D, boot logo... everything matches :)

Found it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1390798 , posts 10 (link) and 12 (password). Thanks to SPIDER9909!

thanks for the information; my galaxy ace gt-s5830d handset, with specifics

Provider: Koodo

Model number: GT-S5830D

Baseband Version: S5830DTLKI4

Kernel: 2.6.34.7-perf-CL568978 se.infra@SEP-74 #1

Android Version: 2.3.4

Build number: GINGERBREAD.DTLKI4

got rooted just by blushing the file upd_1.zip.

Presently I am trying to unlock the handset, but so for no one online sim unlocking service is able to generate an unlocking code.

Does there exists any reliable software method to generate a unlocking code?

thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] dr.pythagora:
Actually I managed even to unlock Galaxy Ace GT-S5830D from Koodo.

- first, I rooted it by jyst flashing upd_1.zip

- next, I installed busybox from android market,

- and finally, I run 'Galaxy Ace Unock', which I downloaded from android market.

Strangely, none of online sim unlock providers could generate an unlocking code. The free android market 'Galaxy Ace Unock' did provide the unlocking code!!
[General Questions and Answers] dr.pythagora:
this is an update on my galaxy ace gt-s5830d network unlocking:

the phone was unlocked with upd_1.zip. however, the signal bar showed the letter R for roaming, while the phone was not roaming.

furthermore, going back to the original provider did not work at all.

so, the network unlock tool upd_1.zip did not work properly.

i did a factory data reset and the phone is to its original settings.
[General Questions and Answers] c3d76:
Not sure about that sorry. Mine was a Koodo and it loaded Koodo...

I did have to re-enter my unlock code though since it put it back to stock factory locked.

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

Glad you got it back to original settings.

Are you talking about the upd_1.zip I attached. If you are, it is not a network unlock tool but a tool to Root the phone...

At the time, I went to this site to unlock 2 Koodo Aces that are still being used without trouble by family members: mobileincanada.com
[General Questions and Answers] dr.pythagora:
yes, I was referring to your upd_1.zip tool. i used it for rooting the phone, which it did properly - thanks for the work with upd_1.zip.

---------- Post added at 03:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 AM ----------

I managed to unlock my galaxy ace GT-S5830D in a computer shop.

The phone originally was locked to Koodo. Now I use it with Fido.

The strange thing is that with Fido the phone shows as if it is roaming (the little letter R near signal bars). The roaming sign stays there (when connected to Fido), regardless of my settings which do turn of the roaming. The roaming sign does not show when connected to Koodo (the original network).

Has anyone a such problem? Does anyone know what means the roaming sign when the phone is configured not to roaming?

Thanks.

Sirs,

How are you all doing? this is my very first post and I decided to ride dirty with the android OS finally (I'm late..) Originally coming from that dead Symbian OS environment.. I love customization and everything related to tinkering the phones hardware and software..

So now I am about to buy a used galaxy S I9000, I just want to know what are the things to look for this used android unit? I can see it's just slightly used so what will I look for aside from the outside appearance? How about in the software itself?

I only know that the phone is on GB 2.3.3 I think and it has like a custom way of killing apps, launching..really it's my first time on android and I need professional advises and this is the best site to ask from, I know.

How do you want to use your phone?

In my opinion, this device is a disappointment for normal,everyday basic use.

If you really want android ride on SGS, keep yourself ready for be here on xda regularly for help (you tasted it already)and hacks,be ready to root your phone and be ready to reboot your phone n number of times(sometime it does auto ) and be ready to get a mixed feeling,sometime it makes you happy and sometimes you would like to throw it away.

Its my opinion based on use, not intended for anything else.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] onetik:
Unless you're installing the latest beta ROMs or custom ROMs, this phone is actually very stable and reliable for day to day use. And the UI is fast and responsive enough on 2.3.3. In any case, in terms of reliability and speed, the SGS is miles ahead of any Symbian device.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xchasa:
Wtf???

Mate. He said he likes to customize.

I have nothing but good things to say about my phone. Gps is accurate and always has been. I knocked back an sgs2 upgrade to wait for next nexus.

Check pixels and speaker.

Check Gps accuracy in maps.

Usb connects and check for 3 button combo to recovery/download mode.

Good luck and enjoy.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GreenSGS:
Guys,

My use of phone dialer,messaging and call logs comes under basic use.

And dialer lags, contacts gives message 'no additional info available' and then shows number.no matter which rom you use.

Even dialer removed from memory.

I have 2 phones in house one running stock 2.3.3 and one 2.3.5 so I am not imagining anything.

Dont reboot phone for a week and see what happens.

If it was all that good, all the ram tweaks,kernel tweaks,optimization tweaks, wouldn't even exists.

If your expr. & opinion differs post it.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] 4ltair:
Another important thing to look for: if it enters Download Mode [Vol Down + Home + Power]

If not, it can be fixed, but it involves a little risk. This would be the only risky thing you'll do software wise, after your Download Mode works, it's very hard to brick the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] upichie:
2.3.7 was a Nexus upgrade that added things like NFC, which most phones do not have the hardware to support this. CM7 uses Nexus source code. I don't believe anything helpful for you was added/changed.

And try not to believe the crap these people are spewing. My contacts, diallers, and whatever else that guy was rambling about are just fine. And obviously that is not a problem across all ROMs, considering most ROMs use different apps (for example, Samsung apps aren't run on AOSP ROMs—and I haven't seen this problem on either).

Good luck! It's an exciting phone. :)

I think aside from checking all 3g, wifi and call line is good, you may also want to check if the phone can go recovery and download mode..:D

Goto Recovery by holding Vol Up+ Power+Home simultaneously

Goto download by holding Vol Down+Power+Home
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hansonator:
If it's a private sale, from some Joe blow, get the IMIE# to check if it's stolen. You can call any carrier to run the number to see if it's flagged. * There should be a web service for this IMO * The IMIE # can be found under the battery and also on the box.

If everything above checks out, head back here and do some research and you will have an amazing experience with your new phone.

Good luck.
