Hi
Am trying to unlock GTS 5830i. Have followed guidance on internet re rooting then running Busybox then Galaxy Ace Unlock etc.
I get the or, or, or....whenrunning the unlock prog.
Although I let smart install finish I notice that I don't get the option to do the smart install (blue?) after hitting install etc. I just get message saying it looks like the installation of busybox was succesful......... When I run the unlock prog I get the inevitable or or or......
Is there a stable version of BusyBox that works with the GTS 5830i? One of versions I used said it was unsuitable for my device etc.
Am I the only one experiencing this problem?
Many thanks for your time.
Simon
Update:
Have now tried BusyBox Pro but still no joy.

That's exactly how I did it. Just confusing with all the tutorials using Galaxy Unlock Ace and Busybox etc.

Hey Guys,
Was informed this was the place to go for any rooting queries so hoping ye can help...
Got 2 tablets for my son and daughter for christmas...no android market access...
Models are - MemUp Slidepad 800 series,Processor is a Samsung 1GhzS5PV210 & Os is Android 2.2...
Researched them and they are not very well known and not top of the range but its their first tablets so didnt care...
They are open to nearly all media files and that so great just limited to as to access to apps ...
So I'm hoping to root them and maybe on the android market if possible???And being new to this was wondering if someone could help....
Could anyone suggest if they are safe to do and what is the best route of action...???
Would greatly appreciate your help
Thanks & Happy Christmas

Thanks for the reply TheOneW....
Just wondering if I should keep trying to root these devices as I attempted SuperOneClick & Universal Androot and they both didnt work....
SuperOne Click doesnt pass ADB server stage and Universal Androot says "Sorry cannot root this device????
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks

If you are brave enough (willing to continue), then do so. Different devices may require different methods of rooting (so you'll just have to see which one works for you).
Thanks ,
Its just I'm a bit new to the android scene and hesitant about trying too many things with them...
Dont want any expensive paper weights....lol
Ok have tried all 4 options above and none look to be working...
Are they guaranteed to work???

Don't do anything you don't feel comfortable with. Make sure you read first and know exactly what you are doing (including all the risks).

No. It just depends on your device (and firmware version). These are just the most common ways which don't have to be device specific (only one device can use that method).

See here: http://android.appstorm.net/how-to/...-back-up-your-android-device-without-rooting/. Unfortunately, you cannot backup your system without first rooting your device (only possible on some devices).
Hi all,
New to all this. Have performed a root using the instructions here. Thanks lyriquidperfection
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Seemed to work ok, just installed first insecure kernal on the list without matching to my kernal, it installed Superuser but not Busybox, so installed that from the market.
The reason I wanted to root it apart from 4.0.4(needs to be rooted?) coming soon was in the hope I could get shot of some of the locked apps Samsung and Google installed on it. Busybox looks to me that you need to know what you are doing to use it. So the question is is there anything simple I can use to get rid of the locked apps that I don't want?

Wonder why they make it so complicated, most of the pre-installed stuff is a lot of tosh, then again so is the Market stuff

Hate to bump an old topic, but I have found a way to root the Rush, Phandroid has a guide up for rooting here.
I have this phone Samsung galaxy discover S730m. I know it is kind of old one. I like to unlock it, if any one can help me out with it. the phone hasn't been rooted yet.
Do I have to rooted before unlock it? The phone is locked with bell. I searched the forum and I couldn't find anything helpful so far.
Thanks in advance.

Having similar issues, seems this phone hasn't had much unlocking done to it hence the lack of info on that matter...

Hi,
Instead of trying to hack system files to get apps working, why not update your phone to the latest android version (4.1.2). You can do this via OTA or ODIN (look at guides on XDA).

thanks for the reply mate! I also tried installing cyanogenmod, but when I install it, my phone locks. I mean you need to open line it (again) cause it came from another country. And yea, I tried to restore it back, and It is locked. forever. But I have found this app called Galaxy S II unlock and it worked but my android version is back at 2.3
I have this question mate, If I install my phone to cyanogenmod again, will I lose the sim unlock? and If I install my phone to cyanogen mod again, can I do this process again?
the app is called Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz

Hi,
I can see you already posted in the thread for the unlock app. You probably won't get an answer there because the thread is pretty much dead. I'm not exactly sure if upgrading your ROM will return your phone back into a locked state, but I don't really see the risk in doing it. After all, you can always downgrade if something doesn't turn out right. AFAIK, there are other methods to unlock your device on newer android versions, they only work on stock ROMs and not custom ROMs, but I'll let you search for it on XDA

I have flashed my rom to cyanogenmod, and it is locked. I tried the app Galaxy S unlock by helroz but it force closes after I used the step two. I tried to rebooted it but It doesnt work.
I also tried Galaxsim Unlock and It needs payment so I used Freedom app HEHEHEHE :laugh: but still doesnt work after I reboot it. HELP PLEASE

Hi,
Did you try using one of the unlock methods on stock 4.1.2? Maybe if the android versions are too new, the apps won't work. But if it's stock official ROM, it might work.
I noticed you haven't done so yet so I recommended you initially to do this.
