Today is the second day i try the metods from there, and it still doesn't work, at the step with remove quickoffice, it didn;t removed my thinkfreeoffice... do you have something that removes thinkfreeoffice, maby then it will work...

First apply in recovery mode unroot_v7 becouse you have half extracted files from other (older) version of the Superuser(reboot) then again in recovery mode apply c.c.b.s.f_v6 (reboot) and finaly apply again in recovery mode gb_root_v23b (reboot). After reboot look for the application SuperSU on your phone. Open the application and press continue to update the binary. Download from google play Root Validator and check if everything is ok.

EDIT:

If you don't success like this the next update will be a fix to remove Thinkfreeoffice that's the promise from me and you will root your phone with no problems

The phone laughs at me saying, I will not root because you are a noob even if you did every thing right and tryed every tutorial on google step by step... Just because you are a noob!

it din't worked from the first try to me because i had some applications installed in phone memory, the ace has a low phone memory i deleted every aplication and then the rooting worked, afther that i reinstaled my games widgets etc... hope this will help you

I tried all options without success. Removed a lot of apps and memory > 100 Mb free now. Deleted Thinkfreeoffice in the recovery mode but after I rebooted it's still there when checking with the application management. In the recovery mode, unroot and root run smoothly, no errors. Just that the phone is still NOT rooted, verified this with an app called root checker.

By the way, my phone is 5830L, at some forums some people also had problem of rooting this phone, somehow some of them succeeded with the universal_root_v17, some edit the scripts in upd_1 to add an L to 5830 in the script. I tried all those, no luck.:(

I don't think is the developer who did this(EDIT now I saw his blog, he really did it...), but the uploading hosts, because the links worked well before, and now I tryed many times even to complet those stupid surveys, still no download file... And I had it backed up on my laptop but my HD broked so... I'm pretty "lucky"
