GT-S5830
S5830XWKTE
2.3.6
2012 March
S5830EPLKP3
(e-plus)
i tried to root it with cf-root. b3 b4, and the fix. no go.
and when i flash cwm5 it will only last for one boot cycle.?
WTF is goin on with this rom? just wont allow root access. i have tried a few version now of root and cwm. and having no luck.
i wanted to try this rom as it is lighter that latest russian version. and it locks on to wifi pretty instantly.
anyone tried and succeded?
P.s im not new to flashing ether, tried flashing cf-root with all version of cwm recovery, no go
Operator specific firmwares usually have locked bootloaders. I am not really sure but I think they have locked the bootloader.

you should know that samsung never ever ever ever lock bootloaders on devices.. its other OEMs SE,MOto,HTC who play dirty games. otherwise you would had a thread sticky here saying "unlock/relock bootloaders SGA"

One time I had the same problem and I just had to flash old stock recovery before flashing the root-zip.
To get the old recovery you just have to flash the file from here via clockworkmod.
After this rooting should work. I prefere rooting the phone by flashing the upd_1.zip from here.

My sister asked me to root her phone and install a custom rom. I have the same virgin mobile optimus v. I rooted with gingerbreak and restarted, and root check said we had root. I used rom tools to install the rom, but now the phone is stuck at the virgin mobile logo and doesn't go any further. I tried going into the recovery but just get a lighted screen.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

y don't have singapore / malaysia version ??
which is suppose the country code is ASEABK @@
I think what the problem is...is that I flashed a old clockwork recovery that doesn't have the new VM670 display drivers...in sense the kernel is for the older VM's...anyway to update the recovery without getting into recovery or consol?

Having a problem- can't seem to root
Hey guys- I have a question/problem.
I updated via Kies as well. I didn't like the stock ROM, so I wanted to go back to "The Unofficial" that I was using before. However I can't find the right thread to get mine rooted for some reason. Can somebody point me to the right one please? I'm still fairly new at this and trying to get the hang of it.
Thanks!

No.
Once you have CWM you can flash any Rom...You would only need root of you wanted to run that firmware....rooting with cwm before you flash a Rom is an exercise in futility...the Rom itself will be rooted one flashed.

That's because you just flashed a gingerbread kernel on an ics Rom.
The gingerbread root .tar is for gingerbread only...
Solved! Thank you,

Good day, XDA. I'd like to ask help with regards to rooting my Xperia S. I have recently bought this and it got shipped with ICS 4.0.4 and build number 6.1.A.0.45 and I updated its build number to 6.1.A.2.45. I have also unlocked its bootloader successfully. Now I'm having problems on how to root this. I've read certain posts regarding ICS rooting and they all state that it has to have 6.1.A.0.45 build number. But I don't know how to rollback to the previous build number. What should I do?? Please help..
Ciaossu!~
Just flash Advanced stock kernel v14 by arakmar via fastboot.
What will it let me achieve then, bro?
BTW, thanks for the reply.

I am in the exact situtation as you. I too bought my Xperia S last week and have updated to the latest firmware. As this is my first Android phone, I have no clue how to move forward.
I would be glad if you post your findings. Thanks.

Thanks for the link. but the link you gave is for GB and I am on ICS already. (I know, there is a way to flash to GB but... ) I will better wait for a perfect way for rooting a device with ICS on locked BL installed.

Also, you can never brick your device on LOCKED bootloaders so don't worry
DId he mean unlocked bootloader?

Only for unlocked bootloader... here is a step by step I put together using the information gathered from various threads here in XDA.. I have used this very same method for my phone, so it is definitely working.. if you run into any problem like not being able to get into the Fastboot mode, or I missed some file, let me know..

Thanks for this bro! I'll try this out later when I get home. Will my data be lost?
So essentially you are just replacing a stock kernel by a rooted kernel. What if I want to go back to the unrooted kernel?

As the title says, I am asking whether i can use cyanogenmod installer via play store to unlock bootloader. I have stock rom and I want to install 4.4 roms and i got sick of waiting for samsung to release an update. So i am asking if I used cyanogenmod installer to unlock the device and then unroot by myself. After then can i install other custom roms just by flashing them? Is this a safe course to follow or do you suggest it would be better to follow one of the guides that shows how to install custom roms on S3 from start(stock rom)?
