[Q] Is The ACE GT-S5830T same as GT-S5830?

[unkit]

Hi Guys

I have a Telstra (australian version for a 850MHZ HSDPA version of the same phone.

I've tried every single method of rooting the phone, but the all seem to fail. I wonder if this is because I have a slightly different phone?

Details from my phone are as follows:
Model Number: GT-S5830T
Android Version 2.3.4
Baseband version: S5830TDVKQ3
Kernel version: [email protected]#1
Build number: Gingerbread.DVKQ3

Sorry if this is a stupid question... maybe I have missed something simple

What are the hardware specs on it? Are you given that information?

 

[traduz]

Well i think it might be diff, mine is GT-S5830B and i had some issues flashing ROM's for S5830. But about the root method, SuperOneClick worked just fine for me.

 

[unkit]

Sorry, The specs are identical to the GT-S5830B i.e. GSM 850,900,1800, 2100 and UMTS:850 and 2100.

The problem is when I use a root method intended for the S5830B, it says Installing from SD card complete, but then whenever I try to use a program that requires root, or test the root functionality using an app, I get a message saying I don't have root persmissions. (Although I do see a super user icon in my regular phone menu)

Does it make a difference if i'm seeing the following message when entereing recovery mode: applying Multi CSC
Can't access to '/system/csc/TLP/system?

Maybe I have stuffed something up?

Hi, I couldn't find the solution anywhere here aswell but after a quick look inside the rooting package i found the solution to be very easy.

- Unzip the upd_1 package and navigate to \META-INF\com\google\android.

- Open the updater_script file with notepad (i used notepad++) .

- At the very top you will see a list of devices. Add these two lines to the list (i added directly after the first two lines):

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5830T"
getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5830T"

If you're new to scripting just make sure it looks the same as the rest of the list. Save the file.

- Then re-zip the package and flash as per usual. too easy.

First post BTW

@Jetpants - where do you buy your clothes?

The future I have been waiting for is here.

Have you got rocket boots too?

No need for rocket boots when you've already got the pants!

hi.

thanks, but i am past this step. Without this, it wouldn't even apply the package.

With this fix, the package installs, but it still doesn't root the phone. Can you please do me a favour and boot into recovery mode, and see if you get the same message as I do down the bottom?

I think when I unlocked (service provider) the phone by using Omnius, it did something it isn't supposed to...

 

[jetpants]

Yep, no weird errors, worked flawlessly. Being a noob i followed the tute in the sticky (how to upgrade, root, flash... etc) step by step except for adding the model# script.

No probs at all. Hope you get yours sorted.

 

[unkit]

Anyone have any ideas at all?

Is there any way to undo what Omnius may have done during unlocking?

The first time i sucessed on root was using an apk for rooting the phone, doesnt remember the name =/

Have u tried lastest ver of SOC (2.2) to root your SGA?

 

[brekel]

Don't know if you've solved your problem, but for anyone else out there with the Telstra 5830T version on 2.3.4, the error message you got when booting into recovery mode is normal for this phone, and I couldn't root it with this zip file either, even after the script edit.
It appears to work, but root access isn't granted.
I found the latest version of Super One Click worked, but I had to manually install superuser.

Hi unkit,

My phone is EXACLY same as yours .... build, firmware etc..etc..

Surely there is SOMEONE out there who can root this phone.

 

[dfreake]

BREKEL _ did u successfully root the s5830T

Hi Brekel,

Are u saying u actually DID root an S5830T on 2.3.4. using SuperOneClick... Could you confirm the firmware build - was it DVKQ3 or something else....

I used SuperOneClick v2.3.3 with no success.

Could u detail how to manually install superuser??
