I have a very "rare" phone and I cant root it. I found some portuguese sites but they dont work. Any suggestions?
Anyone?
Depends on what update you are on, but with that one just grab a custom recovery for the Skyrocket, flash via Odin, and use it to install the newest SuperSU zip from Chainfire. Your phone is just like the Skyrocket S2 from AT&T and Rogers so pretty much any of the mods for them should work for you. Also, this:

I'm an immigrant from the iphone, and I've recently purchased and rooted my Samsung Galaxy S II LTE[/URL]. I've downloaded ROM Manager to backup and flash a new ROM, but when I try to run ClockworkMod Recovery it doesn't list my exact phone under the 'Confirm Phone Model' - the closest match is "Samsung T-Mobile GalaxyS2"
Now rather than just jump ahead and try it, I thought I'd ask for help first. I've tried some browsing on the forums here, but I can't find my exact phone there either. Any ideas?

Good thing you checked, too, because you're in the wrong forum. This is for I9100 - the international Galaxy SII.
The only LTE version of the Galaxy SII that I know of is the SGH-I727, and as far as I know, currently only available on AT&T in the US, and Rogers (as the SGH-I727R) in Canada. You want to be in this forum instead.
Whoops. Thanks for the tip.
Hello. I am needing help with the Galaxy Ace GT 5830. My friend took it upon herself to try to update to the CM9 beta and it didn't work out.
I've tried helping her by going back to the stock rom that I found however its really random as to win the rom's installation will be a success. Sometime it will hang on the Samsung logo screen and sometimes it will load in the rom just fine but her phone network will not pick up her carrier. Sometimes it will pick up the carrier but later it will lose the connection.
model: Ace GT 5830 (I assume this is the same as the Ace GT s5830)
kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL882825
[email protected] #21
current rom: update-cm-7-20120602-NIGHTLY-cooper-signed.zip
I've been using Odin 4.38 with an included "TASS_v1.0.ops" file (not sure if that's significant). The phone has clockwork recovery 5 installed on it.
I obtained the stock firmware from the Samsung site:
GT-S5830_NEE_S5830XWKT7_S5830XWKT3_S5830OXFKT1 and it sometimes installed correctly but as I said previously the phone network would rarely work.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? No, she didn't make a backup when she did all this unfortunately
Use cooper.ops. Tass.ops is for galaxy mini. U can succesfully flash ace with that mini's ops amaze me
Next time make sure to understand and know exactly what your're doing before u do something stupid that can hardbrick the poor thing

>< I feel pretty stupid. Where can I obtain the cooper.ops file? Most links I find are broken or require passwords. Also thank you very much for the response.
Check here for the ops file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
(Sorry have to register but it is worth it!)
But...I always expreiance it!Then I pull battery power on agian to CWM then I wipe data/factory reset and it works
GOOD LUCK!
The link in that thread didn't work but I found the file else where. Thanks again both of you. I'll give this a try later today.

Hi
I'm the friend in question he was helping
We've since changed back to stock without an issue, however I've now gone from 5830 to 5830D since apparently that is the only Canadian stock ROM we can use with the correct baseband.
CWM however doesn't seem to install with this particular model now, so I'm stumped at how to get it to install when that model is not officially part of the script.
Is there either a stock 5830 (not version D) ROM and/or CWM file that works with the newer version? Sorry I'm completely new at this so sorry if I'm not asking the right questions
baseband doesnt matter these days, unless your're running the ace from latin america which uses different gsm spectrum than the international ace, you can just flash any stock international ace and got all working perfectly fine.
btw the latin america ace also can use international ace rom, just need to reflash the modem afterwards.
try these, flash any stock ace rom, then flash just the modem taken from that rom for your region.
Ok will try that.
I thought the baseband did matter only because when I tried two other stock roms I was unable to connect to the network afterwards, till I found the one using TLKI4, granted we did nothing with flashing the modem.
No, baseband doesnt matter much. I've been running my ace with chinese, russian, europe baseband and didnt find any difference.
But in the case u got constant network drop, maybe your operator need specific modem for your county/region.
I have Gingerbread XWKK2 but cannot get the rooting file CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KK2-v5.0-CWM5.tar to install using Odin. No idea what I
am doing. Can you help please?
I bought the phone with a vanilla version but the battery overheated and Virgin sent it off to Optus who quite unethically installed their own OS that has parasitic apps all through it. I want my independence back and don't care if the warranty is voided.
same with my Galaxy Tab 7.7 phone....I want to root that and replace both with vanilla ICS but the only instructions i can get are so convoluted and involved it sends me spare.
help please
Odin
In Odin, don't touch anything but PDA. Put the cf root file in there and it should work fine.
No idea about the tab though, sorry.
Hey All,

i have rooted my Bell Galaxy S before and had to use that crazy adb programming rubbish. Now i thought that i would try rooting my galaxy note i717m with instructions from the root my galaxy note website...fail! no disrespect to him he is doing a fine job but i think that he should take down that it works for Bell at least. My question and problem is that now its stuck on the boot screen. i can still get in via odin re flash(i think thats right) but i cant seem to get any further...Help ...i've already tried flashing with Da_G pda.tar. and i got a different boot logo(original samsung/bell for the i717m logo) but still stuck....again help!!!
ps i did the ics update if that helps
thanks everyone

Sounds like you odin Gingerbread root on ICS...I would run the update again in download mode, to get a new complete fresh install or put CWM touch on to flash a custom ROM or if your gonna stay stock, (I use touch CWM)...and to put the ICS latest stock or Custom ROMs,
are all listed on the GNote Super page, see my links in my signature for all the ROOT for ICS and all the stock/custom ROMs.
Huh?
still stuck but thanks...
i have tried to flash the bell pda.tar stock and get the same. it was currently running the Bell ICS update ...where do i find the Bell pda.tar file for ICS so i can flash on to ClockworkMod...i have read almost everything...i know READ READ READ...any help will be great. thank bro...where do you fond time.
alright so after searching both here and various other sites on this question i have found nothing very helpfull...
so at the risk of being told i need to search i have to ask. I have a ATT Galaxy note I717. I did get the OTA update to 4.0. I have not yet rooted my phone but im trying to do so. Mostly so i can flash t-mobile onto it for it work properly with my 4G.
So my question is. Were is the root process for a note that already has 4.0.
I followed other instructions here http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-sgh-i717-att-clockworkmod-touch-recovery-90018/ and here http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-method-2odinheimdall/.
After installing such CMW Touch i can not get it to boot to recovery. Just goes into download mode and as welll as i do not have superuser or root acces on the phone. If any one knows where i can find the procedure to gain full root access so i may start playing around that would be greatly appreciated

The second link you provided was for the International Note. That may be the problem. Use the method here: http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/. I know for a fact this procedure works, as I have done it on my own Note no less than a dozen times due to the problem in my thread.
Good luck and happy rooting!

It says for ginger bread rooting. I am running 4.0 and do not wish to go back to 3. Will i keep my current 4.0 with that method or will it be flashed back to ICS
nvm do appologize,,, just caught my own noob mistake... lol
seeing that you have used this method before... when i go to flash the zip file it gives me an error and says it fails... yet i have super user and root acces on the phone now?
You don't have to root your phone to flash a modem. You don't need to have CWM to flash a modem either.
You can install the modem using Odin3 and your pc.
Agreed ....
Thank you ranger ....g
