E. Rooting for 2.3.3/2.3.4/2.3.5/2.3.6/2.3.7 (Thanks to russian forum-user with nickname may213) (if it doesn't work try D method):
1) Download attached file called upd_1.zip and copy it to your sdcard
2) Turn off your phone
3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON
4) Select update from sdcard, select the file upd_1.zip
5) After the update completed - reboot
6) Now you have rooted S5830

please cool your heads down abit. u wont getting any much help if u keep that stingy attitude.
and a suggestion, if nothing else works try to flash the cfroot kernel.
it'll autoroot the device on boot and its pretty reliable.

Don't rush

Allegedly??? LOLwut?
Read this:
In recent years it has become common for speakers to include allegedly in statements that are controversial or possibly even defamatory. The implication is that, by saying allegedly , the speaker is distancing himself or herself from the controversy and even protecting himself or herself from possible prosecution. However, the effect created may be deliberate. The use of allegedly can be a signal that, although the statement may seem outrageous, it is in fact true. Conversely, it is also possible to use allegedly as an expression of ironic scepticism.

Hi jithendra194,
if you already flashed the clockworkmode this could be the problem!
I know a friend who had to flash stockrecovery again, before rooting his device.
Rooting wasn't possible by using the clockworkmode, but with stock recovery rooting was successfully
So you can try flashing the stock recovery first (from here) and after it you should flash the upd_1.zip (from here)
Good luck

[Q] Question about brick ?

i have a question for you guys what i have not
do for to get a cell phone brick ?
i have read many threads and the only way for to get it is by using application rom manager thats right or i can get a brick cell phone in odin software.
what if by a mistake set files in a wrong order in odin software
galaxy ace cf gingerreal v1.0 kph
thanks in advance
WHY would you put the wrong files in ODIN, just read the tutorial and follow it correctly?
And to kinda answer the question, what've read is that ODIN will not brick you phone, you might be able to get a bootloop though (just reflash and it should work fine).
Read the newbie guide(sticky thread) about Rom manager, it should be supported now but be cautious, better to use CWM app instead, or just reboot your phone to CWM (dont be lazy).
People brick their phone when unlocking their phone, there should be a proper solution that works without having to brick you phone.

First, that's NOT zedomax's method. He regurgitated zergRush, which was the work of DoomLord and some other contributors - of which he was NOT one of. And I don't think he gave credit, either.
Second, I believe it doesn't work with newer releases of 2.3.6, which the OP is on.
Third, the OP already said he tried this method. (well, actually, he said "zerg". Pretty safe bet he meant this)

I figured you did, you asked a question in another thread I answered, where I told you explicitly to use G kernels.
However, I don't see any attempt on your part to "unbrick" your phone. Have you tried at all? Sometimes "bricked" phones are recoverable... How is it "bricked"? Does it boot? Can you get it into download mode if it can power on?

After i flashed kernel it wont boot but odin says PASS.. Idk why and i cant go to download.. Its a hard brick.. I already sent my phone to samsung customer care and i ask them if i can trade my g version for non g version, they gonna give my a new gt i9100 next week..

sorry, i knew that wasn't his method, i just meant he used it to root his phone. I wasnt meaning to give him ANY of the credit for it, although he does advertise it pretty well for noobs.
And i wasn't aware that it didn't work for the newer versions, i rooted not too long ago and it worked fine, but i don't think my carrier updates firmware often..
i was just letting him know my experiences

ROOTING problems with ANY GB versions? My solution is here!

Hey ALL!
!!!PLEASE READ WHOLE POST, THEN YOU UNDERSTAND WHY I WAS WRITED THIS!!!
!!!IT´S LITTLE DIFFERENT THEN OTHER ROOTING THREADS, BUT IT MAY BE THE TRICK, WHAT WORKING FOR YOU!!!
Here is my solution from my experience ROOTING any GB stock version. I wanted to go back to stock GB(I was long time in CUSTOM ROM`s) any I experience big problem with ROOTING again my phone. I was not doing this the FIRST time, but I experience this kinde of problem FIRST time. Even I wiped everything several times, trying several FW(FULL PACKAGE and ONE package, with ODIN), but still cant ROOT. I was searching here in XDA all FULL day, but nothing helped(but the upd_1.zip to SD card, run it and so on). I searched second day in internet, but still nothing helped. Finally I tryed this method and it worked for me.
Here is what I was doing.
I but this ROOT.zip file to my SD card and RUN it(USE STOCK RECOVERY NOT CWM4 OR CWM5), after I was installed GB(Gingerbread) FW(FirmWare). Because if I was used CWM4 or CWM5 I cant ROOT MY PHONE. But in STOCK recovery you cant go lower from ONE(first) screen what it showing(if you push the "apply update from sdcard" button), because the Root.zip helped me. It SHOWING IN FIRST SCREEN(I have a lot of things in my SD, because the upd_1.zip not showing in the first screen and I CANT go lower in STOCK RECOVERY).
Once more I will write it down for you!!!
1) Download this Root.zip HERE(or down there in thread) to you computer.
2) But it in your phone SD card(DONT EXTRACT IT OR BUT IT IN ANY FOLDER. BUT IT IN THE ROOT OF SD CARD).
3) Run it in STOCK RECOVERY, push the "apply update from sdcard" and use the Root.zip(not CWM4 or CWM5).
4) After that REBOOT your phone and you can see SUPERUSER app in your apps list.
Thats all!
Wasnt that easy? Yes it was, but I was strugling with out it, few days.
Hope I can help someone with this tutorial.
ENJOY IT!
If you can ROOT even changeing the file name to "1" and flash it in STOCK recovery, report it in this thread and I will change the thread name and giving credits to you too for that! (because then the file showing in the first screen ALWAYS even in STOCK recovery)

Hey!
Sorry, but its your problem if you not seeing the point of that thread.
1) I very clear with my problem(I see you too, not read the whole first post).
2) It was named Root.zip(not upd_1.zip), when I was downloaded it from somewhere and def. I not downloaded it from XDA. I was searched the whole day in here too.
Dont blame me,if you dont know, that I dont used the search.
CHEERS!
upd_1.zip and root.zip, the different is just the name...
Why? Coz i rename my upd_1.zip to root.zip its easy to me to use it...
Its the same zip file...
thanks
whatever u did it worked had no joy with 1-upd or any other method on gingerbread only way was to flash a rooted kernel or custom rom first try and this worked on stock 2.3.3 great

Hey!
Thx for replay! Just wanted to know, dose you tryed to rename the zip file like "111"(for example) and if you renamed it, dose it still rooting or not(maybe the zip file depends from the name too, dont know that exactly, because I asking this)?
If its still rooting, then we all can rename the ...zip(upd_1 or Root or .....) file what ever we want(like "1.zip") and then it allways shows in the main(first) screen, even in STOCK recovery. It will be the great news then for all of us!

Do not say that we are not helpfull man!
Maybe no one that read your post has found a solution yet!!!
I actually stopped in this thread once ready to help this guy out but he mentions he is on froyo...
MY device came with Gingerbread, so rooting is as easy as user superoneclick (heck, there is a youtube video talking about how easy it is to root on the 5 but the 4 will be able to do the same). Sadly, advising this with this froyo uncertainty might have the potential of bricking the device, so I passed by this thread saying nothing. So I'll just do this...
Did you do a OTA update through your device's settings and check if there is a Firmware update? Once in Settings, go near the bottom and click the ABOUT button and click system updates - wifi is of course needed but wifi is everywhere even Mcdonalds for free. Update your rom accordingly to get to Gingerbread at least on the device. Then check this video -
www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA4bw8bU4T4
Once rooted, check this thread to choose your kernal and rom you want to flash -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720457
I highly advise Ethereal rom [or Icy Fusion], and for the kernal Terrasilent [or Klin Rev 3] . Be sure to flash the Kernal FIRST not the rom so you can have recovery features in case things go wrong.
P.S. You probably got bypassed btw due to heavy focus is being brought towards other thread s like the ICS thread for 4.0 device or everyone has a thread they particular hang out in. Or it could be that these type of threads like yours pop up so often every month that the people here just glaze over the threads like these telling themselves why don't they do a search in google (like I searched "root samsung Galaxy Player 4" and my first link above is the first one that pops up in google, which is the video i referenced to root mine the first time) or check the All in one thread in the developers section of the Samsung Galaxy Player 4/5 forum (which I linked above as well). I don't mind helping though but that might be because I'm kinda still new here...

I actually stopped in this thread once ready to help this guy out but he mentions he is on froyo...
MY device came with Gingerbread, so rooting is as easy as user superoneclick (heck, there is a youtube video talking about how easy it is to root on the 5 but the 4 will be able to do the same). Sadly, advising this with this froyo uncertainty might have the potential of bricking the device, so I passed by this thread saying nothing. So I'll just do this...
Did you do a OTA update through your device's settings and check if there is a Firmware update? Once in Settings, go near the bottom and click the ABOUT button and click system updates - wifi is of course needed but wifi is everywhere even Mcdonalds for free. Update your rom accordingly to get to Gingerbread at least on the device. Then check this video -

Once rooted, check this thread to choose your kernal and rom you want to flash -

Dang people what's wrong with you!!! (kidding ). Hmm if you want GB I can offer you the 2.3.6 update in a separate tar and you can flash it from here. From this point, you can flash any custom rom based on stock. Dang froyo, for how much time you had this?
Can i sir? Include the tutorial too
Btw i cant see any system update under setting and about device..

Maybe i should give up to update my device to 2.3.5 i have no Service Pack 3 on PC and no one knows even samsungsupport at twitter how can i possibly upgrade with that pc environment. Maybe flashing thru odin but until now there is no way to use odin to upgrade

Still at 2.2.2 sucks. Odin doesnt detect my Galaxy Player 4.0

You can use Samsung's Kies to upgrade to the latest firmware.
However if you have rooted and modified some stuff, there might be a chance of getting your device bricked.
Also, make sure you have pressed Power+VolDown+Home key to get into flashing mode when you use odin.

Have you tried another usb plug? Also are you sure that your drivers are installed?
Yeah i know how to use odin and flashin like what i did to my galaxy y tried almost all custom rom. This galaxy player only gives me a hard time on flasing.
Of course i know if the device is rooter and modified or not

At odin window click troubleshoot and then driver will install. Is that correct?

Wait a minute, which odin are you using? You need odin 1.7 to flash on the YP-G1.
Yes sir i use the one in ur thread 1.7. My galaxy y detects odin but my yp is not. Maybe i should use the own yp usb cable and not the cable from sgy do u think thats the problem?

Maybe, I never saw a case where a phone is recognized and the other device isn't. The only alternative I could is is heimdall but it's longer than odin. Assuming you have tried all the usb ports on your computer. Have you tried to flash on another computer?
NOT YET SIR, maybe i should try to other PC with vista OS
heimdal is for linux os isn't?
