I have brand new Samsung Galaxy S II LTE model I727R. I rooted it successfully using OneClick and the install CMW. I downloaded Neatrom and saved it to my internal sd card. I used CMW to install the rom, it did all the backups etc, but then the phone never turned on again. The phone got bricked and now it is in for repairs.
I wanted to ask if there are any known issues with this Rom working with this particular phone or is it something that I did? i have installed Alien Rom in the past using the same method and did not have a problem.
I am now hesitant to mess around with Roms based on this experience.
Any insight would be appreciated.
As far is I know NEAT rom is only for the Galaxy S2 I9100 and not for the I727.

Hello,
I just got my first Android phone, i.e. Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 and I want to know how can I root it. I have searched all over the forum but didn't found any answer, can anyone provide me step by step method how to root it.
I'd like to know this as well. Have asked the same in another thread but no answer there yet either.

Yea, I figured, but you'd think with a similar line of phones (Galaxy) it wouldn't take much of an effort, especially considering the Galaxy Ace is the Galaxy S's his little brother.
I'm not familiar with hardware and the coding but I'm hoping it will be here soon.
have u guys tried superoneclick. .its suppose to root almst all the android phones. .u can give it a try. .be careful while doing dnt brick ur phone. .n how is this phone in general i was planing to upgrade.

I'ts a very nice phone, I wanted a new phone so I got an Galaxy 3 first due to my budget, however after I returned it because it wasn't quite what I wanted I went for the Ace. It is just SO much faster, smoother, screen feels much better and it's slightly bigger, Ithink it's money well spend and I don't see a reason I would need an even better Samsung phone (Galaxy S).
I'll check out the superoneclick thing, but I'm very scared I might brick my brand spankin' new phone and would have thrown away 330 euro's...
Ok, I can confirm the SuperOneClick method told me the process went succesful on my Galaxy Ace S5830!
However I am not familiar with rooting before so I will try and figure out how and what I can do etc.
Just letting you guys know it is possible.
i was try rooted with superoneclick 1.6.5 but still not rooted..
Well it works for me, except when I try to use the rom manager now I can't select my phone model because it isn't in the list, not even any other galaxy phone, wasted 4 bucks on that.. any other good method to safely change roms?
Oh and I did try a manual override but the phone won't reboot into recovery mode, the program just freezes for a while and then does nothing.

Edit:
I just rebooted my phone a couple of times and suddenly it seems to do more things then before (where it gave me continiously messages I couldn't execute the actions or something), gonna check if more things work now.
Ok so I tried to go further with rom manager but eventually it caused my device to brick.. I managed to trade it at the store for a new one pulling of a story
that a factory reset bricked my phone so I recommend that no one attempts on rooting or romming their Ace phones as of yet until skilled developers have cracked the case.

Are you sure ? actually Bricking is very vague term can you please describe what actually happened to your phone and what you were trying to do.

How much did you bought yours and where? I'm also from the Philippines and still torn, to which one I should get.. Samsung Galaxy Ace or LG Optimus One..
Both has the same processor, Galaxy Ace is pretty much overclocked.
LG Optimus One has a bigger RAM. It's 512MB RAM, but Galaxy Ace only has around 256MB RAM.
Samsung Galaxy Ace has a larger screen than Optimus One. Also Samsung Galaxy Ace's design is much better.

Messing around a bit with ROM manager, I was trying to back up my phone firmware, it wanted to reboot, so I let it, then it never booted up again.
The 3 button thing doesn't work (I tried every possible combination, time etc.) and the only thing I was able to reach was the phone being displayed as 'Connecting..' in Kies on my PC.
Basically the screen just seemed it died.
Maybe it has to do with the fact the Samsung Ace didn't show up at all when I needed to confirm my device in ROM Manager (money well spend..) so I tried another one with succes, I assumed I would be able to back up my firmware in case anything went wrong anyway, ironic the backing up actually bricked my phone.
Using SuperOneClick v1.6.5 , my device(Samsung galaxy Ace S5830) was successfully rooted.
Tip: Just reboot your device after that.
Alright, I'm a noob...(loved the intro video!) and I've spent an hour or so searching for rooting info for my device. Did find a good thread that was over a year old about rooting SGH-i777 with older android versions, but was afraid to follow THOSE directions since mine has newer version (Android 4.0.4). And I find other threads about rooting other versions of GS2...not the AT&T.
So far I've learned NOT to use ROM Manager, and not to look to Galaxy2Root for help...so I guess there's that. I don't want to be stupid here, but can someone direct me to a thread with Rooting instructions for my phone with ICS already on it, and recommended ROMs. I'd like to have more control over my phone and take advantage of JB releases that seem to be out with good reliability. I'm used to doing this sort of thing on computers, but not with Android. Had my phone for about 15 mos....my first Android.
Suggestions?
TIA...

This is so far easiest thing to do, however be careful, DO NOT, DO NOT,
choose the "one click" patch option which come first, as that will patch
the system and you will NOT be able to root again. and there is NO way
to un-patch. I was not being careful and now trapped.

Appreciate the suggesting. Been researching ExynosAbuse, and looks like it could cause camera not to work, and in the compatibility list, though the Galaxy Sii 9100 is listed, the SGH-i777 is not...seems like a concern to me.

I am also a noob when it comes to anything mobile. I got my GS2 last year (first android as well), and I've since updated to 4.0.4. I have also done some research on rooting(after my fiance keeps bugging me about "fixing" our gs2s due to them always turning off) but I was uncertain on what rom to use. I have no experience with phones, and I don't want to do something stupid and break our phones. I know that I am supposed to " use exynos abuse", but that's pretty much all I know/can find without reading every page on the 80 page threads. Are there any suggestions on a stable(ish) rom for us both to use/how easy is it to "use exynos abuse"? (without doing what tyhust did) We are fine with our ICS and I wont venture into the world of Jellybean yet... (maybe once I acquire some more experience)

Yes, that should be the tar you use. Make sure it's from this thread. You should be okay without wiping, but if you have problems, I'd suggest flashing 2.3.4 and wiping from recovery once on 2.3.4; reason being, stock ICS kernel may brick your phone if you wipe with it (see linked thread for details on this eMMC superbrick bug).
OP, if you're uncertain about ExynosAbuse, try this method instead. I know it works, I used it myself very recently, albeit I was already on 4.0.3 and had not upgraded.

This is a good thread.
I had the same issues with 4.0.4 and i found it was a live wallpaper app (water drops) causing my random "power off". Since switching to a different live wall paper, i have had NO random "shut downs".
I still want to root my S2 and this is the best thread i have found that addresses the stock 4.0.4
good luck.
Well, after a week of no shut downs, my phone just shut off. So i guess the live wallpaper was not the issue.
Back to the drawing board
Not to hijack the thread or anything but I'm new to this phone too. I understand the rooting process on ICS what I don't understand is installing a custom recovery and kernel. Why do you have to use a gingerbread kernel and why can you not just use stock? I've always just rooted, installed custom recovery and flashed roms on Verizon phones so installing a custom kernel to achieve custom recovery is foreign to me. I've been reading the stickies but I don't understand this....is it only to avoid the flash counter being tripped? Is there a easier way to install the recovery or am I making this harder than it needs to be? Thanks for any help!

Our phone has recovery baked into the kernel. For what reason I don't know but I'm sure its a good one as just flashing recovery is IMO easier.

If you're just trying to get into recovery to flash something then any kernel will do. Since the system won't need to boot up with that kernel installed you're just flashing one to enter recovery.

That's the point, I don't have the original ROM. I was following the tutorial and had NOT realised I wasn't making a backup and I don't think the original author even realized the it would happen that the Canadian ROM would be one of the very few which couldn't be found if things got screwed-up.

1.1 We need to install a boot-loader as the Samsung one is very limited and just plain awful! That said, it wasn’t intended to be used for anything other than the Samsung software so it’s not awful from their point of view but it’s pretty unfriendly to us.
To this
2.4 If you are new to use ClockworkMod recovery manager then before doing anything, please have a look at next screen to learn the navigation keys.
If this works, than we will talk what to do next.
Try different official rom, maybe it will work, you don't have anything to lose.

I don't think it's actually the ROM which is the problem but the "baseband". Twice I followed the tutorial and everything worked until it came time to restart the phone. At which time it went into the loop.
I have unlocked G5 and it is not Virgin Mobile - what now!

Hmm try searching for a "fastboot" method, i really don't know what should be a problem, im not an expert in this :/.Ill try to help you tomorrow again .
Is there such a thing as a fastboot for the Galaxy 5 i5500
I'm getting a little mixed-up and feeling a bit MORE stupid - what's the difference between the ROM and the baseband. Can one copy ROM or baseband from a working phone onto another?
Thanks
chainfire app just completely damaged my 500$ samsung Galaxy s when I installed the DRIVERS and when I started the reboot so the drivers take effect and it got stock on doot logo. And I got to Recovery menu and I had a old backup but when I was restoring , the phone canceled and switched off and it got stock on the Vibrant logo. No recovery menu, no flashback. Nothing!!! I send the phone to experts and they told me that the phone is total wasted... if you know how to fix it ,tell me how. Its an Gallaxy s vibrant t959 t-mobile
On the list of soported android phones it was my gallaxy s and it was an lie!
If ther eny way to demand the app on playstore.... answer that to...
THANKS

Odin back to stock.
If you're on jb, I bet it doesn't work. If on older rom, try an ics one.

500$ Samsung Galaxy S eh? If you paid for $500 for your vibrant anytime within the last year or so, then I think you have bigger problems to worry about than a brick.
Also, you really shouldn't house any animosity towards Chainfire. He is an excellent developer who has done so much for the modding community.
As for Chainfire3D, I can tell you from first hand experience that it does, in fact, work for the Vibrant. Please keep in mind that with anything involving modding your device, you accept the risk onto yourself willingly.Chainfire did not force you to do anything, that was your choice - you ought to think about these things before suggesting that he lied in regards to the supported devices, you just did not read the directions properly. How do I know this? Because in the description of the app clearly says, and I quote,
"!! For Froyo and Gingerbread ONLY. NOT COMPATIBLE with Honeycomb/ Ice Cream Sandwhich/Jelly Bean !!"
Guess what CM10 is. That's right, not Froyo or Gingerbread.
I used cf3d with ics perfectly fine, actually.

I did too actually... But that isn't the point ^^ when I used chainfire on ICS I had already talked with enough people to know that it worked... but I was still accepting the potential risk that it would not work since chainfire didn't recommend using it on anything above gingerbread. I never used it on jb because I heard stories that it didn't work and could really damage the phone... I did my research and read before doing things, this person just jumped in blind and is blaming a respected dev for his own inability to read.

True, true. Well maybe my vibe got damaged from the soft brick cf3d used. But yes, from both of us, OP, READ. Search before you post and right now, odin to stock and you have to start from stock, then ics, then jb. Do not restore a backup of a jb rom from an ics, froyo, or anything non jb. Same with other versions, because you can bootloop or soft brick the phone. You're lucky it is just soft bricked.
EDIT: If you have read...
1. Sending the phone to the experts (whom probably have specific knowledge of vibrant rooting and bricks) would've been off your list.
2. You would've known NOT to restore that backup.
And now, as many have said, we or any other devs are not responsible of your flashing even if it should've worked and we are also not responsible for things leading:
Bricks
Dead sd cards
Eu bug
Death of a loved one from brick rage
A hole in your wall from above reason
Thermo-nuclear war
Or catz poppings ups frum ur screenz afdur downroading rom asking fur cheezbergers.
Or a phone repairer finding pr0n on your phone when checking it out. We all know how bad that is.

we have the same situation.. in my case it just boot loop.. i try to restore, but it keep restarting..
so back to stock, GB, and to cm10.1 again.. (do I need to flash GB if my stock rom is eclair before flasing to JB?) good thing to have a titanium backup! my phone usable again after more or less 20mins.
Yes. Flash cm7 first.

Noooo my problem is not the Rom... my problem is that my sgs vibrant. It's stock on vibrant logo. First boot picture, not boot loop.
It doesn't open recovery!
You enabled chainfire drivers on jb (first mistake) and then you tried to restore a stock backup of eclair while you were still on jb (second mistake). You can't jump from jb down to stock like that, only from jb to ics and some later versions of gingerbread. What you want to do is boot into download mode and revert to stock the correct way. The moral of the story is when messing with your phone, read, read, read before doing anything ever. You're lucky, because it sounds like your phone will be just fine if you properly Odin back to stock via download mode. However, I warn you...if you Odin wrong, there is a good chance of ruining your phone, so read this time and make sure to do it correctly.

Hello everyone!
First of all I want to say that I am really a newbie when it comes to rooting/flashing so excuse me if those questions seem to be stupid, but I just want to make sure everything I'll do will be okay.
First of all...I have a galaxy s3 (GT-I9300) from Orange Romania. At the moment I am stuck on their network for 2 more months (when my warranty also expires and they are obliged to unlock my phone for free if I want to) but I want to root my phone as I want to try a few s5 roms and also CM.
At the moment I am on 4.3...and one thing I do not know for sure...is if my phone has knox or not. I read a bit snd I saw that some have it and some don't. If it helps anyone...my phone is about 2 years old.
I also read that sometimes people lose their imei when they modify their phone...and I didn't really understand why...so if anyone can help me with an answer...that would be great.
Basically...what I want to do...is to root my phone...install a custom recovery and install a dual boot mod...so I can boot one rom from my internal storage...and one from my sd card. (I read that it is possible to do such a thing)
My plan is to install let's say....blekota's s5 rom on my sd card...to see how it is and If I am pleased with it to install it as my daily driver (insted of this 4.3 version that i have now)...and then install CM on my sd card and keep them like this.
What i found searching through the forums is that those s5 ports work pretty well with boeffla kernel but what I saw is that for dualboot you need a certain kernel, is that right?
So one of my questions is...can I install for example blekota's s5 on my sd card and then somehow install boeffla kernel for this rom?
Also...what about the bootloader? I tried to read a little bit about it and if I should unlock it or not for those operations...but I am not sure.
Also..if I install those roms...will my network still work? I saw some guys saying that they had problems with they networks.
And finally, if I install a Rom...and everything works fine...even the network...and after those two months i go with my phone at the orange store...will they still unlock it for free as they are supposed to?
I hope someone will help me with those questions..and excuse me if they were answered before.
Have a great day!
Anyone?
Just a few basic answers I'm afraid:

AFAIK that is correct.

Most ROMs come with the kernel included. Generally you can flash another kernel later in recovery. But you should check in that kernel's thread if it is compatible with the ROM you flashed. So you'd have to check the boeffla thread.
Also...what about the bootloader? I tried to read a little bit about it and if I should unlock it or not for those operations...but I am not sure.

The bootloader of your GT-i9300 should already be unlocked

With all the ROMs out there, you never know. I never had any problem. Always make a nandroid backup!

That, I don't know, as I don't know how a "provider lock" is achieved technically...
efs backup
I would just like to add some information to the useful answer's provided by @Hawaiihemd above and that is once you have it network unlocked and rooted you must firstly and most importantly backup your efs (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT) . This wil help you considerably later on if you have problems with signal/network etc please look at the stickies/guides on how to do this. Also there is no knox on the galaxy s3 (GT-I9300) .
I want to thank both of you for your answers! I will search a bit about how to do a proper backup so I'll be sure I do it right.
What do you think i should do? Should I wait for them to unlock my phone so I can use other sims in it or should I root now? I am really tempted to root my phone as I really want to try those roms. Also...if any of you have any ideea which s5 rom I should try first...please...message me...as I do not want to turn this post into a "which rom is better" post.
If I choose to root my phone now...and the guys from orange won't accept to unlock it...is there another way to do so?
Have a nice day!
