GALAXY ACE 5839i ROOT CWM AND CUSTOM ROMS

Is there a problem with your caps lock button?

Insert witty sentence here

Im sure the GT-S5830i and GT-S5839i are very similar and rooting method is the same...

Hi,
Any link for razor droid v1, please?

Sir im so worried about rooting please help me!!
My gf has a samsung galaxy gt-s5839i 2.3.6. .I want to root it since yesterday but its not workin.
I got the root.zip file . whn I install that zip file in recovery mode everything goes okay and it shows installation complete. but after reboot im unable to get any superuser like app.

Also I checked it with " Root Checker" but its showing Your device is not properly rooted.........

I have tried many time even I haven't slept last night just because of it...

There is a supersu app as a system app she told me it was already there when I bought it.im feeling so helpless..
Please help me as soon as possible...

Thanks in advance..

What's there to be so worried about?

Anyway, try another root zip file
And SuperSU never comes along prebuilt in the app

Did you reboot your phone after rooting?
You might have to remove your battery too, not necessary, but better
And SuperSU is superuser.SuperSU is made by another dev, that's all

I have no idea o.o Wait for someone else who has a S5839i to show up

Why do you want to root anyway?

You unfortunately cannot use link2sd with stock ROM

The other thing is that even a swap file is a bad idea on the 5839I
If it is on stock ROM , bricked one already.

Dont think I will worry about it again but you should try root validator instead of
Root checker I think some apps only like superuser and dont always recognize
SuperSU you can get a flashable zip from chainfire's website if the zip at the start
Of thread wont work, easiest way to check for root is probably to try and install
Busybox by the way,

One more thing, there is a file In system/etc that prevents apps to sd by
Deleting the apps to sd files at every reboot, could this be your problem?

Samsung were a bit naughty about things when they set the
firmware up
You can delete it at your own risk, did it myself last time around but to be honest I have some fifty odd
apps installed and after that the phone lacks internal memory anyway, samsung
Havent actually done too bad a job once you get rid of the added bloatware

I hope this info helps, and on stock ROM you also have to reflash CWM everytime you wish to backup or restore through ROM manager,

Good luck sounds like you might just be frustrated over nothing, lets hope so.

have realized since last post on this subject that as long as you don't try and instal apps 2sd script you CAN install link2sd and its working i also now realize that current kernel which is called Redbend UA has ext3/ext4 type support and since succesful install of link2sd have freed up maybe 40mb of internal memory.
I also wou.ld recommend Imbawind Adrenaline boost script v3 search xda for link to download. next thing is to deodex ROM so i can apply new jelly bean style i think. I have debranded ROM after CWM backup so can restore if needed .
Thanks to all the developers and people brave enough to risk bricking there devices because of all these people devices are getting better and
thanks to samsung and htc etc for listening to the consumer and making sure the changes others make are streamlined into there ROMs the new galaxy is much quicker than the old one Thank you.
Thanks have to go also to Google and everyone connected with the Android OS
Open source rocks big time.
Make your dreams come true
