1. Use whichever works for you.

2.Have you never transferred any music or any files on your sd card before?
Just copy the zip file on the sd card, use the usb mass storage mode or you can also remove your sd card and use a card reader to transfer it.

upd_1.zip worked fine. Had no problem rooting. Took around 10 mins all told.
Many thanks for your sound advice.

hi ;
i am a noob in the android world and i need a help
i have a sammsung SGH-I857 with 2.2.2 android version & 2.6.332.9-perf karnel version which is rooted

what I want to do is release the maximum possible space of internal phone memoir because it small (177MO ONLY) 89.30 MB of space it used.
I would move them to the SD card (8GB) or remove them if it's possible ,but I do not know how knowing that my phone has never been changed at the ROM or Kernel or Recovery or anything like that

I also read that before anything i should use a custom recovery and make a backup of my current set up, so in case something gets messed up, i can restore the backup and be as good as new!

so if you could tel me how ,done please & thank you in advance

Welcome napster!!
I moved your thread here in hopes that others using that root method can help

To check if your phone is rooted, go to you app drawer and look for an app called superuser with an icon of a pirate android with cross bones. If you see it, your phone is rooted.

i have a complete different icon of Superuser after Rooting my phone useing Acegingerroot.zip!
Is this a mistake?
does this mean my phone is still rooted?
my Superuser icon is the Deathstar for starwars!
is this correct??? plz reply to me

Do you really expect the superuser app developer to keep the same icon forever?
They keep changing icon, its the app that matters, if you have the app and its granting superuser access to root requiring apps then you'r good.

There are also root checking apps on the play store that you can use.

this is the only method i didn`t tried ... and it works
thens

ok guys, either they have changed it since posting or I am simply too dumb..

Turn the phone off.. press the POWER button AND Middle button together.....

wait.. wait wait wait..... nothing happens.. release the middle button, phone boots as normal..

what am I doing wrong?

I have a GT-5830i Android 2.3.6 Kernel 2.6.35.7 se.infra@SEP-71 #1 Build number gingerbread.zcla4

I am trying to root it so I can move the Apps to the SD card (low memory problem)

ideas?

thanks!

And i think you didn't notice that this thread is for S5830 and it was started long before S5830i even existed.
The button combo for recovery in S5830i is Power+Volume up+Home button.
Try this thread, it should be more helpful to you.

Hey, thanks for our answer..

Yeah, after some further research I managed to find the correct combination. (the exact same homepage too!)

Sorry, haven't been able to edit my post until now.. otherwise I would have also posted the correct information for other uses too!

Thanks !

kopiteian59 · Jan 20, 2014

I'm trying to get into maintenance mode on my SAG GT-S5830i , 2.3.6 Android, Gingerbread.xxlk3? Looks like I'm doing something wrong even when doing as directed I can't get into maintenance to run the super user Download from my SD card , any answers would be appreciated

kopiteian59 · Jan 20, 2014

My phone brings up message, E:Error in /tmp/side load/package.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted

I guess the zip file is corrupt anybody have any ideas please

ayush29k · Jan 21, 2014

Exactly what are you trying to achieve?
The only modes we have are recovery mode and the download mode, but i am guessing that you are talking about the recovery mode.

And just so you know, you own an S5830i, its a very different device than S5830, so don't ever mix up the two, you might get in trouble if you do.

Date or data??
Well no, in both the cases. Just lets you access and modify the system files within.

This website is one of the biggest scams ever. To download anything you have to click on every thing ubder the sun and then get sent around in circles installing dangeroues exe's and the like on your computer. A major security risk!

What website are you talking about?

Our site doesn't offer, provide or sanction exe downloads of any kind.

The first post here is a zip file. There are no special requirements, you just download it as is.

If you're installing dangerous exes you may be clicking on ads.

Moderator Note: There are now two guides for this forum. A specific guide for the Galaxy Ace 2.3.3 and the Universal root guide for many Samsung devices (including the Ace) in the second post. Seeing how both of these are similar, we're going to keep them in the same thread. Thanks for understanding!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Download attached file and copy it to your sdcard
2. Run in maintenance mode (power + middle button)
3. Update from sdcard, select the file upd_1.zip.
4. After the update completed - reboot in normal mode.

Thats all - now you have rooted ace with android 2.3.3, and superuser in your apps.

I tried it but when i got to stage 3 ^^ it says:

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted.

I have a Galaxy Ace 2 GT-S5830i running 2.3.6 android version.

I managed to get it rooted last year after googling it but forget where from (idiot) but then got the phone replaced with the exact same model just in black and now i cant seem to find any rooting that works -_-

any help to get my phone rooted?
