[Q] Problems with rooting and installing CWM5 and custom ROMS

pranay.gp said:

Hey,

I am having problems while trying to root, install cwm5 and install a custom ROM to my Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i.

PROBLEM:

First:

I rooted my phone by following this article.

It rooted in less than a second, so i had my doubts and went ahead and rooted it again, only to get the same thing... After starting my phone normally, i found this new icon View attachment 1138240.

Root checker also confirmed that it was successfully rooted.

Second:

I tried to install CWM 5 from the same article. When installing, I get the following error:

Error in E://tmp/sideload/package.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted

However, after following this article, i was able to get it to work. However, like it says in the article, i have to install the zip from SD card via standard recovery every time i have to use CWM

Third:

I did all this to try to install this custom ROM.

While using "temporary" CWM, i tried installing this, but once again, i get the exact same error:

Error in E://tmp/sideload/package.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted

I thought it was due to a bad file, so i downaded everything again, again, and finally, once again... Nothing seems to work

I then tried to flash CWM via ROM Manager. It asks me to confirm my model, with only one option (i.e. S3850i), i tap that and it says no supported CWM available, but i know there is by looking at these articles and other tutorials

I also tried re-rooting my phone via super one click v.2.3.1.0, but it hangs at waiting for device...

DETAILS:

Galaxy Ace S5830i (GSM), bought in Dubai
My PC runs Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Please help me out here... thanks

Well i copied it from my comp, pasted it in my SD card. Shut my phone down, then restarted into recovery mode (Samsung Standard <e3> or something like that). Selected apply update from SD card in zip

selected the file (which was in the main directory itself).

Then a few lines of code appeared...

something about getprop or something...
then after say the 12th line of code, that error message appears...

I googled on the matter and found that it seems that the new aces with gb preinstalled have a special secure bootloader which prevents rooting of the phone!!
