[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
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.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TakuSkan:
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.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
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

Try it out
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TakuSkan:
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.

But doesn't having CWM in there void the warranty too?

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.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TakuSkan:
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?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amazingafroman:
hi i was wondering if you could up load the file you changed to root your phone with im having the excaxt same problem. :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TakuSkan:
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.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tovagulet:
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.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TakuSkan:
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?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbo2Tonos:
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
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edwardsa86:
Hey bro, you are awesome thank you so much for those files I was having the same problem. Cheers!!!

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.

installing cyanogen mod 9 and clockwork mod recovery doesnt work on rooted gt-s5830L

I rooted my gt-s5830L and installed clockworkmod recovery i granted it superuser permissions, and did the fix permissions thingie on it too when i reboot my phone, get the boot window from the phone and not clockwork mode i downl;oaded the cooper stable version from the get.cm website getDOTcm/?device=cooper&type=stable and have it in the root of the sd card, i proceed to load it from the phones boot menu update from sd card, and it gives me an error and abots the operation.

i think the issue resides this rom is not available for gt-s5830l, is there a way to make my phone to gt-s5830, or if there's modified rom for gt-s5830l thanks

I thought that the GT-S5830 i, C, M, T, B, L, and GT-S5839i are exactly the same phones. The GT-S5830 has a different chipset than the above listed phones/versions.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tovagulet:
So wrong...

GT-S5830, B and L are the same. (Except for frequency of the 3G connection)

GT-S5830i, T, M, C and D i think they are the same between eachother.

GT-S5839 its different from all of the above.

Some one correct me.if.Im wrong :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJSkyline:
I've looked around for the answer, but I have not been able to find it. I recently flashed the Underworld Sense Kernel v0.2. In the description for this kernel, It states:

"3 Point Touch Check

10 Point Touch"

What is the difference between these two features? I opened phone tester, and my Evo is able to recognize 3 different touches, so that's obviously the "touch check", but what is the 10 point touch?

Thanks for anyone willing to inform.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ca1ne:
Some of the evos have different hardware, which is why there is a check to see if you have hardware capable of multitouch up to 10, or just 3, etc

Market link: Android Root Toolkit (free)

Root Toolkit for Android™

I wrote this little root utility for myself to help consolidate and automate some root functions that are available in various other apps, but nowhere all together.

Note: this utility does not root your Android device--it assumes that your device is already rooted.

If you are having problems or issues with it, please send me an email at scary.alien@gmail.com with as much detail as you can provide.

FEATURES:

display current root, /system and root (/) mount status, and root save status; will also display bootloader lock status for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus

reboot options (normal, recovery, bootloader)

power off device

remount rootfs (/) and/or /system in read-write or read-only mode; note: remount behavior changed in Android 4.2 and higher that causes remount effect to not be usable by apps other than the one that initiated the remount

save (protect) / restore root function; for 4.2 devices with ext2/3/4 /system partitons, a copy of su binary can be saved and later restored; for 4.3 devices, I've implemented Pau Oliva's 4.3+ "OTA rootkeeper" functionality (i.e., via keeproot.sh)

freeze (disable) or thaw (enable) an application (use caution when freezing a system app!); you can select showing user and/or system apps in the Freeze/Thaw Display Options in the Preferences/Settings menu

display system (getprop) property values

Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 (1st gen) only options:

flash a stock recovery

flash various custom recoveries

make recovery "stick" (keep stock recovery from overwriting your custom recovery)

identify currently installed recovery

bootloader lock, unlock, status (Galaxy Nexus only)

option to turn confirmation mode on / off (defaults to on)

option to turn "safe mode" on for the app to prevent any su or flashing operation from occurring

PERMISSIONS:

INTERNET - for downloading recoveries from the internet

WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - this is for the downloaded recoveries and work files used to identify which recovery is currently installed

ACCESS_SUPERUSER permission to support interaction with SuperSU

Keywords: root status, root checker, mount status, flash stock recovery, flash custom recovery, reboot recovery, reboot bootloader, power off device, remount system, make recovery stick, identify recovery, save root, restore root, freeze app, disable app, thaw app, enable app,

bootloader lock, bootloader unlock, bootloader status, getprop, system properties

Version 1.3 just uploaded to the Market:

[version 1.3 - 22-April-2012]:

- support freezing (disabling) or thawing (enabling) applications

..(take care before deciding to freeze a system app)

These updates weren't as easy or straight-forward as I had imagined it would be--no wonder there's so few apps out there that have the freeze/thaw feature ;) :).
[Android Apps and Games] e154037:
interesting and important tool

I am very interested in this tool and will have a try for sure. Number of questions:

1. Can your tool save current recovery as a blob, which is either cwm flashable or dd flasable(flash through "dd if=/sdcard/recovery_blob_backup of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4"). My ASUS TF101 is rooted with stock recovery, I would like to try cwm recovery, but I want to save my stock recovery so that I can switch back to stock recovery when OTA is coming.

2. The most important features are those marked as "Galaxy Nexus only options". Is it harmful to try these on other devices such as ASUS transformer.

3. Does it work to use cwm recovery to flash official firmware package without any repacking. How about your tool?

Thanks in advance

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

Two more questions:

4. The su backup made by Voodo rootkeeper is not "immutable", it can be revoced by "chattr -i" and then "rm". how about your backup?

5. If superuser.apk is removed or disabled, does your root protection tool

still work?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] scary alien:
The app will not save a current recovery (not a currently implemented function).

I can tell you I tried copying the currently installed recovery on my GNex using exactly the process you described above. Unfortunately, the flash_image of that copy/backup does not appear to flash properly (and/or I got an error--I think I did get an error when doing the flash and ended-up trying several different versions of the flash_image utility to no avail). The resultant backup/copy of the recovery partition was usually about 12MB vs. approx. 5MB for a "normal" other recovery file that you would flash, so I don't know if its a size issue or limitation with the flash_image utility or not, but flashing a copy of the whole recovery partition did not work for me on the GNex.

I suppose "flashing" via the dd command might / would work, but I haven't yet tried that (dd is scary ;) :)).

I have product/device checks in the app that should keep those options from even being available to you on the main menu if its not a GNex device. The Setting / Preferences settings will still appear, but if you don't have a GNex, they should not appear on the actual main menu (I'd be very interested to know if they do :eek:).

My app uses the flash_image utility to flash its recoveries for the GNex. It does not use ROM Manager or ClockworkMod for any flashing operations that it undertakes.

Yep, works exactly the same ;) :).

The immutable property is apparently only supported on the ext2/3/4 type of filesystems (I think that's the right list)

I never specifically tested removing Superuser.apk, but you should/would still be able to re-download that app from the Market and install it to complete the second half of root (the first being restoration of the su binary).

~ ~ ~

You should know that the GNex-only options that I support in the app were basically because I own a GNex and wanted to support some functions that I got tired of doing via other apps. Supporting devices other than the GNex is not currently in my plans since it these things are very device- and recovery-specific and I wasn't comfortable releasing features and functionality that I could not directly test and validate myself.

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] e154037:
Thanks for the explanation. Where can I find the flash_image utility, is it device spacifilc? If it is not your self-made component, can you give me a copy of the utility.
[Android Apps and Games] scary alien:
Ah, there's a billion copies of it "out there", but you should be able to extract if from the .apk file of my app if you want.

Just make a copy of .apk file (its really just a .zip file, after all). Then use a file explorer or unzip utility and explore res/raw folder (I think that's where it is).

It should work on all Android devices (I've got/found multiple copies and versions of various ages and sizes that I'm sure are due to the different builds of Android).

The key thing you need to be careful of is making sure you've got the proper partition / area that you are going to be flashing to (i.e., the recovery partition is not located in the same place / name on every device and there's no way (that I'm aware of) to universally describe how to identify it (short of looking in the build code for your specific device)). Flashing a recovery to the boot partition is a quick and easy way to brick your device ;) :).

Also, making sure that you've verified that integrity of the file you are flashing (i.e., via and MD5 or SHA1 checksum) is always a good idea. There's no inherent checksum / integrity check done by the flash_image utility--it'll flash anything to anywhere you tell it (or at least try to).

All due caution and a current Nandroid backup is always your best friend :).

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] e154037:
Thanks.

Stupid me! I should have realized that the tool could be extracted from your apk or for ROM manager.

Question on image file used in flash_image:

Asus official firmware package's zip file contains a file "blob", unpack the blob one can find a number of images, including blob.SOS. This blob.SOS is the stock recovery image. To my knowledge, blob.SOS should be repacked when being flashed with dd.

Is this blob.SOS (witout any repack) the right one goes with flash_image (flash_image recovery /sdcard/blob.SOS)?
[Android Apps and Games] scary alien:
LOL, no worries! (I've had more than my share of those moments ;) :))

I'm not familiar with the Asus .zip package formats or the blobs.

But, I would think you could verify that you are talking apples-to-apples (so-to-speak) if you were to calculate the MD5 of a current blob recovery file with an extracted dd dump of the currently installed recovery's MD5 file (i.e., find the published blob that should match what you have installed; if they match, then you are on the right track, otherwise, you'll have to re-evaluate and dig a little deeper).

Cheers!

[Android Apps and Games] scary alien:

Changing kernel? Easy peasy.

Run download mode, flash CWM with Odin, reboot to recovery.

In CWM, mount /system, install zip from SD, choose the ZIP with kernel and voila. You might only want to apply Superuser ZIP too. Pre-rooted kernel from phiexz doesn't appear to be really rooted.
