i think this Newbie Guide is wrong. - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi, i have 2 questions:
1) I think this Newbie Guide have human mistakes.
if i wasn't wrong,
PDA should be "CODE_S5830xxxxxx" ,
Phone should be "MODEM_S5830xxxxxx" and
EFS should be " DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225493
i hope somebody can verify this.
thanx.
OPS - Select the file named Cooper_v1.0.ops (or anything like that)
BOOT - Select the file named "APBOOT_S5830xxxxx_CL514579_REV03_user_low_true.ta r.md5"
where "xxxxx" = Your firmware version
Phone - Select the file named "CODE_S5830xxxxx_CL514579_REV03_user_low_true.tar. md5"
where xxxxx = firmware version
PDA - DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING
CSC - Select the file named "GT-S5830-MULTI-CSC-xxxxxx.tar.md5"
where "xxxxxx" = the CSC region
EFS - Select the file named "MODEM_S5830xxxxx_CL514579_REV03.tar.md5"
xxxxx = firmware version (Be VERY VERY careful with this EFS part)
After you're done , click on "Start" and let the magic reveal itself slowly......

2) :may i know the why we need to install Android Software Development Kit (SDK) ??
refer to another guide:

AFAIK , we only need Android USB Drivers of Samsung Kies + ODIN +OPS to flash the Stock ROM.
and the step to root and unroot (androind 2.2 or 2.3.x) , the phone read the update file directly from the SDCARD.
I have no experience with Flash Custom Revory and Custom Rom yet, but from the fisrt post of this thread, seems that they don't need Android SDK too.

I think this Newbie Guide have human mistakes.

First of all, XDA community is wonderful.
I have read maybe thousands of posts here. And I learned many, many interesting things here.
However, I have noticed that not all the explanations, or helps, are very precise, and accurate.
In order not to make a mistake with what you're doing, it is better to search and read many explanations on XDA or on the other sites, about what you want to do, until you are convinced that you did understand.
On the other hand any beginner must divide the actions in 2 parts.
1. Dangerous for the phone
2. Not Dangerous
1.
Dangerous are: root the phone, unlocking the network, install CWM (a wrong one), flash a new Custom ROM (a wrong one), flash a firmware with Odin (with wrong files), and maybe others.
2.
Not Dangerous are: make a backup and restore, flash the same Custom ROM (that you know), modifying an apk and flash it, and so.
The point here is to choose what is good for you.
And, what you do, you do it at your own risk.

Can you please explain more detail , if you do know the answer ?
too sorry about that , I'm not quite understanding what u mean.

If the man says, PDA - DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING
you have to DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING to PDA
I have put a print screen with the steps.
View attachment 3246528
Step 1 - OPS file for SGA S5830 Cooper, it is not for S5830i
Step 2 - check mark on One Step
Step 3 - firmware that you downloaded and want to put on your phone.
Step 4 - Start and wait about 5 minutes, to write PASS.
And, of course, take your risk.
It's OK now?

Is it correct that for Odin you just need SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones
But if you move forward, and you want to work with multiple tools or applications for Android, you will still need the SDK.
What I meant to post 2, is that you have to read between the rows, not word by word.
Because no one can say that: "what works for me, will work for you."
Simply, because here we are not at school.
By the way, I just want to help.
Greetings

hi, so glad to have your replies again.
but , my first question is for FULL Package instructions , not the One Package Instructions 。
i have no any problems or questions with One Package. (actually , i think i was quite familiar to One package).
if we google the full package odin instructions , the most of results we got is sth like this:
Bootloader =APBOOT_I9003DDLF2_CL1153545_REV08_user_low_ship.t ar.md5
PDA=CODE_I9003DDLF2_CL1153545_REV08_user_low_ship. tar.md5
Phone=MODEM_I9003DDLE1_REV_00_CL1149304.tar.md5
CSC=GT-I9003-MULTI-CSC-ODDLF2_RST.tar.md5
You see, the parts that hightlight with red color on the top post ,is totally differrent from the google one .
so i need some advice from the veteran people here . (maybe both are correct? just different situation? just a wild guess)

ok, thanks.
so , let's simply assume that android SDK is just for future use with more advanced purpose.
:good:

I think i had found the answer of second question for myself .
Android SDK is for legacy root method that use adb comand to push and root the handphone device from the PC .
so it can be ommited if using something like SuperOneClick or
root by using update from sdcard method .

I think this is my last post for this thread, if no one else reply .
I hope somebody can verify which of below is the correct one:
OPS-OPS, Boot-APBOOT, Phone-CODE, PDA-[EMPTY], CSC-CSC ,EFS-MODEM (leave One Package empty)
(or)
OPS-OPS, Boot-APBOOT, Phone-MODEM, PDA-CODE, CSC-CSC (leave EFS and One Package empty)
thankx

A successful root method from chinese forum!

A successful root method from chinese forum!
from: http://bbs.gfan.com/android-3604178-1-1.html
The only root method so far, is to exchange the recovery in v20B and install root tools through recovery.
step 1) copy Superuser.zip to the root directory in SD card.
step 2) shut down your OB, take out the battery, press volume + and plug the USB cable (which means enter the S/W mode)
Step 3) extract LGP970.7z and obtain v20.bin and v20v.fls files.
step 4) open B_SmartFlashTool_Extern.exe and select:
ROM copy D/L
cp:V20B.fls
ap:V20B.bin
select mode:normal mode
step 5) click start button to start flashing, all data in OB(sms, contacts, game records) won't be lossed.
After flash procedures, you will come to the recovery interface, then, select install zip from SDcard and choose the superuser.zip that you place before.
Reboot and you got the rooted 2.3.4
All files(superuser, LGP970.7z ) can be downloaded from here:
http://115.com/file/cl3smym3
(for someone who don't know chinese:
after you get into the site, you will see 3 color buttons at the middle
green, blue and red, the download link(grey button) is at the right of the red button)

No, as written in the threads linked by N00BY.
Please read before you post.
Nor the rooted V20b uploaded to the Chinese forum the Hong Kong stock ROM, as reported by some in their replies.
The "new" method posted on the Chinese forum is actually the one posted by SnegovikRZN on xda.
But the poster didn't give proper credit to the source.
The only thing you need, is ubuntu or other linux distributions, the bin files of your firmware (u can get em like this: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/cs_auth_model_check.jsp?esn=imei) replace IMEI, btw.
And this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22329293&postcount=106

Because the one post in xda is using v20B which is equally to the HongKong OB stock rom = v20B, so my question is , is that v20B is the HK's v20B ?

IT DOESNT MATTER which one it is, just download the bin file YOU need, and follow the guide then. Ask in the thread, which version it is. I cant answer this to you, since I am using a N version of GB. I already gave you the link, of how to get the right BIN files, via your IMEI, and if you couldnt get the official update yet, ask another one about it. Or simply try the ROM. It is rooted, so you can enter CWM quickly and also restore the previous version, if needed.

The request for the zip file that you get when making the request with a German IMEI always return a 404 (not found). I wonder where has the user SnegovikRZN taken them from.
Ok, sorry then, I thought LG already released the bin files. I've been wrong there it seems.
Idk where he got em from. Maybe ask him via PM or in his thread.

Is that I can directly flash the bin file(extract from the above link) by smartflash?
Yes, you can flash the with Smart Flash, just as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22304591&postcount=91 (of course by replacing the names of the fls/bin file with your own).
I would have one request from you, I am not able to download that zip from LG, but if you can, can you please share it somewhere ? I would like to have that in case that i have to bring the telephone back to the shop for warranty - it's a "just in case" scenario .

[Q] Help - How to root Samsung Note KL3 (Singapore Starhub)

Hi there
Yes I know there are articles about this (damn long articles with strange terms). And I have read through a lot posts about how to root Samsung Galaxy Note - there seems to be 1001 ways to do it but none of them worked on my model KL3 (purchased from Starhub in Singapore)
-> Tried one-click root method - doesnt work anymore for KL3
-> Tried odin method, can't find the place to download the revised ROM (just wondering why will the author still post the URL that is invalid?)
So please anyone out there, if you have done any successful root on KL3, please let me know how you did it.
I am willing to pay you some $$ to get the no-nonsense answer - I have wasted 1 day digging around and I don't want to waste more time.

First downgrade your firmware, then Root it. after applying Root, you can back to Singapore KL3 or watever new ROM you desire, by using CWM or Mobile Odin
Hi sorry to hijack yr thread OP,but i am also from Singapore.i bought a set from singtel.
my firmware are as follow:
PDA:N7000DXKL3
PHONE:N7000DXKL2
CSC:N7000OLBKL2
Baseband:N7000DXKL2
Kernel:2.6.35.7-N7000DXKL3-CL825081 [email protected]#2
i am confused on which one to look at as both pda and phone has different KL version..so which one should i be looking at for rooting purposes and can my current fw be rooted directly?
Look at kernel version. You are on KL3.
Follow dr.ketan's post above.
thanks for replies.
what puzzles me is that,i read dr.ketan's pdf guide and found that N7000DXKL3 is direct rootable.have u tried and it failed?

Actually xxkl3 was released early that was direct rootable, but some newer version released under kl3 are not rootable
Actuallt kl* are non rootable, except some early kl3. So you shud try to root it directly, if not success you should consider it as non rootable.

Mmm.
I m from singapore also.
I can tell u, i don't care which version i am.
Normally i will just download the newest version from www.sammobile.com and flash through odin, and on ICS, if i loose my root, i will use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794. To get my root back. Easy and fast.
Ps: i never do full wipe on ics, i tried once and brick my device.

You need to downgrade your ROM to get it rooted.

3.You have provided the link to download the tool to join the three files and given the mirrors below it.Thn what is this for?
"Tool to join them, run the following file and locate the .001 file.
http://www.mediafire.com/?btrusgmd1v2d72q"
Thanks for helping.P.S the text within quotes from your link for rooting a nonrootable rom.
mirror three media fire is working, some one reported just y'day.
Multiupload file / hotfile/mediafire all are same
1.multiupload
2nd mirror hotfile
3rd mirror media fire
as multiupload not working, you can use mirror 2 or 3
mirrors are interchangable e,g, if you have downloaded 001 file from hotfile you can download 002, 003 from mediafire too.
total you need to download three main file ending name, 001,002, 003 + 1 tool that will join three files to make single.
hotfie/mediafire not allowing to update > 200MB file size. so in mirror main file is splitted to three part, you have do download three files 001,002 n 003
then you have to join this parts with file joiner tool, then it will become single ROM file.

K now will flashing your rom give triangle and increase binary counter?And when I need to revert back to stock rom is there anything to be disabled like voodoo lag fix as in sgs???and is cwm included in your rom?
No it won't give triangle,Nor it raise counter, if you follow guide to the letter.
You can revert back with just flashing stock ROm with PC odin.
After flashing modified ROM(which U have downloaded in 3part), you will have just Root, you have to get CWM after.
Just download guide from here n follow it, for further assistance.

K thanks now according to my knowledge,Flashing custom kernel should give triangle and flashing custom rom increases binary value right?If so getting cwm will give triangle and when flashing stock rom will remove it ri8?Can a usb jig be used to remove both triangle and binary counter?
when custom rom/kernel flashed with pc odin then only it give triangle.
If u fillow my guide to get cwm it wont.
Use of jig is apart from topic right here, get from sticky over deve sectiin for detail

On this point....
From what i've read in the first pages of this thread a few days ago, They catch this doomed kernel on a Chinese forum....
+ that's originally for the i9220 ( the chinese version of the Note )
This situation only proves that the I9220 is not SO close to the N7000 for me.
(or if what i 've read today in the last pages of the thead is right, they(the angelom team) messed up the fstab file (i don't even see why they edited this file, it's the best way to kill a Linux based OS, that's where the partition layout is stocked....Even for a new way to root a kernel...).
All that for a sneak peak on an unfinished ICS leak ( with almost as much problems as the first ones for the SGS2 ).
If you're past the FAD phase (Flash Addict Disorder, we all have it for a time , mine was during the last year, for my SGS2 ^^ ) , or if you are able to read a HowTo , I don't see how you can brick the Note

Hi All - very new to the forum an very new to Android. I have SGS I9070 DDLK2 (i am from India). Airtel is the provider.
I have been going thru the forum and tried to root the SGS, with the method in the below link:
h t t p: / / techdraginfo . blogspot . com / 2012 / 10 / how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s-advance
After that i installed the SU and Busybox from Google Play, but on my SU log's it reads - Binary outdated? i tap to update the update being, get error "no root access".. the busybox too i am unable to install (symfile is selected) its gives error "boot recovery" and the install fails. BUT i have both SU and Busybox in my application list? Is my phone rooted ?
I do not want to upgrade to JB, need GB only. as the software that i have will work only on 4.0.x... i need help from the forum to guide me on how to gain complete root access on I9070 with BG as OS... I am very novice at all this - was able to root as there were screen shots in the link that i used for rooting my SGS I9070.

Download your stock firmware from www.sammobile.com/firmware or http://samsung-updates.com/tag/firmware/ and attach me kernel.bin.md5 from that file. I will repack it for step 10. You can post that on that thread for rooting, maybe someone else needs it. And it will be easier to find there, then here on this one.

Just that. After that you will repeat all from that guide for rooting. And by this method you increase binary counter. Triangle away can reset it now for our phone.

Thank you soooo much. I really appreciate your help.. one last thing, let me know if the below steps are correct:
i will follow the link that you gave me to root
will download GT-I9070-root.rar, will extract ODIN
will enable USB debugging and mock location on the phone
turn off the phone and put it on download mode
Under PIT file browse for GT-I9070_EUR_XX_8G_20111220_KL6.pit, you have extracted this file before.
Under PDA choos rootkernel.tar.md5
Then check what options are checked (Selected), be sure to UNCHECK (remove selction) Re-Partition, Flash Lock, Phone EFS Clear, Phone Bootloader Update! Only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time should be checked (Selected)
When this is set just press Start and wait for phone to reboot

let the phone boot
Install SU / Busybox and Traingle away....
and i will be done - pls let me know.... :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

I think you even do not need to use pit file. Yes, that is it. And install Superuser, no SuperSU. I think we had problems with SuperSU, and Superuser worked fine.
Op : so you mail me, i give you the method and you make a new thread? I mean what the fcuk?
:annoyed:
I do not respond to tech support via PM

I use SuperSU on JB now, but on GB I didn't have root access when I used it (didn't work at all). No need to change.
LOL, you can easy find it. Here.
Need to uninstall first SuperSU.
Huh, thinking I use an wrong application , but from what I read, chainfire (SuperSU) update released more than chainsDD tuned, and that's why I asked more details about that.

[ROM][SM-G900X] Custom Firmware for SM-G900X Live Demo Unit

Hello to you guys,
with this thread I wanna help people who get a Live Demo Unit of Galaxy S5 and wanna "unlock" it, removing Retail Mode and getting an official firmware on it. A Live Demo Unit is recognizable cause the phone has an "X" after the "SM-G900" signature.
Before start explain, I wanna remember to all that with a Live Demo Unit YOU CAN'T DO PHONE CALLS or TEXT MESSAGING due to its nature. So, this custom friwmare will transform your Live Demo Unit in a beautiful and complete Galaxy S5 "WiFi Version" .
Ok, lets do this!
What you need for a great job is:
Samsung USB Drivers on your PC
Odin, downloadable from here http://odindownload.com/ (vers. 3.09)
TWRP Recovery, .tar extension (here is the link for the download http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/klte)
Firwmare of your country. You can get it form sammobile.com. I've done this with the G900F version and I've tested only with it but I think this kind of guide works for all devices. Be sure to download the correct Firmware of your device!!
A program named "cgywin" for create your own firmware for the Live Demo Unit http://cygwin.com/setup.exe
Do this AT YOUR OWN RISK!! If you're not sure to have understand something, please do not go any further.
Ok, so let's start to explain what to do. If you'll follow step by step this procedure, you'll reach the goal for sure
First, I think is better to do a good and complete backup of your actual firmware and system. To do that follow those steps:
Install Samsung USB driver in your PC (if you don't have it already). Be sure that the phone is visible by your PC.
Turn off the device and go into Download mode (pressing VolDown+Home+Power).
Open Odin and connect your device to the PC.
Now flash the TWRP Recovery (select "AP" voice on Odin and choose TWRP .tar file you have already downloaded)
Ok, now you can do a Nandroid backup of your entire phone, including system, with Recovery. So, turn off the device and go into Recovery, then choose "Backup" and flag ALL the voices (so you'll be sure to backup all). Save it in external MicroSD so you can get it simply if you need it.
After the complete backup, it's time to "prepare" the custom firmware:
Install cgywin (for a complete guide for How To Install this program, Google it)
Download the right firmware for your device
Once file is downloaded you will have something looking like this G900FXXU1ANCE_G900FITV1ANC7_ITV (this is the one I've used)
Extract the .zip file to get an .md5
Rename it with like ldu900x.tar
Go into the folder were you've install cgywin and put the ldu900x.tar here
Now, launch cgywin.exe and type those command
$ tar --delete --file=ldu900x.tar NON-HLOS.bin
$ tar --delete --file=ldu900x.tar modem.bin
After that, the ldu900x should have only those files on it:
- boot.img
- cache.img.ext4
- hidden.img.ext4
- recovery.img
- system.img.ext4
If there are other files that are not those I've checked above, please delete them using the command $ tar --delete --file=samrom.tar FileName on cgywin as explained. The final .tar file gotta have only those 5 files I've listed above.
Once the final ldu900x.tar is ready, you can flash it with Odin.
Before the flash, use TWRP for a TOTAL WIPE of the device (including system but do not wipe the extSDcard). This is for to be sure that the device will be ready for a good and clear flash.
After the flash with Odin, reflash the TWRP Recovery (following the steps above) so you can do other backup or restore the old firmware if you need it.
Hope this guide can help all the guys who need to use their LDU completely (excluding calls and SMS as said). Personally my LDU doesn't have Private Mode, Finger Scanner, S-Health, UltraPowerSavingMode and other stuff, but with this "custom" firmware made by myself, now works ALL! :victory:
Bugs: The only thing that does not work here is the upgrading of SHealth Services that does not allow to upgrade it to SHealth 3.1 version. If anyone know how to solve this I appreciate
Thank you guys for your support and thanks to:
@Dees_Troy for TWRP
@Sirus2012 for have opened the way
@jopa7 for suggestions
Fell free to offer me a beer (or a meat can for my 5 cats )
Have a good flash to all!

You can install a superpower rom, mate. Install omega with omega kernel after root with chain CF auto root and install TRWP. Install latest omega zip via trwp chosing omega kernel too. You will get 37000 antutu score or more . By the way, GPS signal works
