My GT-S5830i is from Taiwan. I tried rooting it via these instructions and got mixed results. The Superuser.apk got installed into /system/apps. However, nothing to installed into /system/xbin. I've verified the zip is good and tried 2 different sdcards (32GB and 512MB)
I've also tried various others root zips (universal_gb_root_v19.zip, universal_gb_root_v25.zip) with the same result. /system/apps binaries installed fine, but nothing gets installed into /system/xbin.
I've also tried Root Genius but the results were incomplete as well. It installed a zero byte /system/xbin/su and a 100KB /system/xbin/busybox
I've verified the zips are good by decompressing the zips on the SD.
I used this program to browse into /system to verify the file size and existence.
Phone info:
Baseband: S5830iZSLA1
Kernel: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #1
build number: GINGERBREAD.ZSLA3
Android version: 2.3.6
Any ideas?
when installing on recovery, do you get any error?

There were no errors when installing via recovery mode. Is there anyway to browse the filesystem on recovery mode to confirm the files were installed into /system/xbin?
yes, you can try aROMa file manager here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108 , (use v.1.81 below) . if you still don't get the specific files at /system/xbin . try pre Rooted Firmwares
Finally got it working; it was the stock rom that blocked root. Here's how I got it working.
1. downloaded Odine3 v3.0.7
2. downloaded Stock ROM VJKL4 per this thread
3. Flashed Phone, CSC, and PDA per instruction
4. Phone boots, however, settings says it's a GT-S5830C (boot screen still stays GT-S5830i)
5. Baseband got upgraded as well
6. Phone can't make calls! Emergency calls only! Carrier is AT&T. WTF?
7. Dig around the Internet for the Taiwan ROM (BRI build)
8. Taiwan rom comes w/ a single file instead of 3 parts..
9. Flashed the single zip, no luck
10. Dig around the internet for SplitFUS2
11. Split the BRI rom into 3 parts, flashed Phone, PDA, CSC
12. It works! Can make calls again. Phone now says its a S5830i. Seems to have reverted to original settings.
13. Reflash w/ CSC and PDA from VJKL4 build, didn't upgrade modem firmware
14. Installed root zip
15. Got root! Can still make calls!
16. Phone now says it's a S5830C
17. Phone is clean of rebranded junk
GoodJob.
I'm also facing same problem.I can't root my phone because I have not more than 504 kb free on my system memory.Please help me.Tell me how to solve this problem?

Hallo all'
I have just bought A samsung galaxy s2. Its about 2 weeks old now. So I have recently decided to root it but I think It got wrong. It says its rooted because I can use rom manager and superuser. The problem is I just downloaded a rom and every time I get in to recovery mode iam getting the error: so when I go into recovery mode at the android screen with the triangle and exclemation mark I get the error:
Finding package:
Updating
E failed to verify whole file signature
E (another error cant remeber)
Then it goes into recovery mode but I only have.4 options
Reboot
Wipe system
Update system (when I choose update.zip doesnt work)

you need to download flash an insecure kernel in order to get root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Flash the zImage of your root kernel. You will get it by extracting the .tar root file. Copy it to your SD card and flash via CWM with the option Flash Kernel.
Sadly that should not work as at this point he is still running e3 recovery.

Another problem
Solution of brainedbysaucepans worked, but iam having another BIG problem now. So I have installed CWM and went in to CWM with Volume up+Home+Power buttons, from there i choose for install from zip and i have installed the newest
MIUI rom. Restarted. Screen doesnt get passed the ''Samsung galaxy s2'' screen with the triangle and exclemation mark. So I went back to CWM and wiped all data. Still cant get past 1st screen. Telephone is un-usuable. A brick is more usefull then my telephone atm :<. Please help. URGENT.
Without knowing what you have done wrong my suggestion would be to wipe the phone install a stock rom and start reading the faqs and guides .
Full wipe boot to recovery .
mounts and storage format data cache system sd card .
put phone to download mode and flash a stock rom .

Thank you! I know you are wise in saying this, as Recovery 3e requires signature verification for flashing external files. Tried pointing stock Recovery to .zip files on sd card (so as to toggle signature verification off), but it doesn't display those files for some reason. How do I get an alternate Recovery that will work with CWR, so that when I flash it will unpack, or how do I otherwise bypass this requirement? Samsung Galaxy SII, Sprint, rooted, but last 5 hours pretty hung up on getting full Recovery going. Obviously a bit of a noob, but would be wicked happy to get a workaround here so I can start flashing ROMs and such.

bs, cannot find it. BUKI1 2.3.5 (gingerbread.BUKJ3) no work at all
signature not verified
trying to use bloatkill.zip on my Huawei h866c. After placing .zip folder on sd card and updating with recovery, I get signature verification failed message. Is there a work around. My phone is not rooted and cannot be rooted because of the addition of SuameKinUser.apk to my system files. I would like to remove it so I can traditionally root this device.
Thanks for the help.
I'm having the same sort of problem at the moment, did you ever resolve this?
My phone was locked to the 3 network when I got it, I rooted the phone and got it to the current set up as below;
Samsung gt-i9100
android version - 2.3.5
baseband version - I9100NEKI2
kernel version - [email protected] #2
build number - GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
I have SuperSU installed
I have recently tried to update using Cyanogenmod and Revolt files/guides here on XDA, the latest file being revolt_i9100-ALPHA-20131011.zip however i get the same message on install of;
E:failed to verify the whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Can anyone please point out what is going wrong or direct me to another guide that would be best suited to upgrading from my current setup?
Hi there. Let me just start off by saying, despite my efforts, I still have next to no idea as to what I am doing.
My Phone: Galaxy SII i9100T (Australian Telstra variant), ICS 4.03
So today I decided to root my phone and install cyanogenmod 9 following a guide in a magazine (that was written for cyanogenmod 7 if that makes a difference). Initially it told me to root with SuperOneClick, but that wasn't working for my device as the program would eventually not respond.
After snooping around on the internet I eventually ended up rooting my phone (I think) with Odin 1.85 installing an image called CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5 under the PDA option (as per instructions of one particular website). That worked.
So then I consulted the magazine again, and it said to download the heimdall suite from the cyanogenmod wiki galaxy sII page, and run a program called zadig, list all devices, and change the 'Samsung Android' driver to whatever zadig installs. However, my phone did not come up as that, it came up as two other files, one with a driver called Modem, and the other with a driver that I cannot remember the name of. I can confirm that they were my phone and no other USB devices as they disappeared when I unplugged my phone. I chose the driver that wasn't called Modem. That seemed to work fine.
Next it said to install a clockworkmod image using the heimdall suite. The image was recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-galaxys2 ....I eventually got that to work.
However, no matter what I do now, I cannot get into the clockworkmod recovery screen to install cyanogenmod 9. Did I do something wrong? I think I may have made a mistake with zadig, as now it lists my phone as 4 devices: Samsung_Android, Samsung_Android, Samsung, and MTP.
I know this is an absolute mess of a situation, but I desperately need help. If I cant go through with the installation of cyanogenmod, can I at least reset everything back to normal like it was out of the box?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
You could e-mail the editor of the mag and complain

I suggest you restart from scratch following these steps:
1. read everything about flashing and rooting you can find on this site (read stickies first)
2. same as 1.
3. same as 1.
4. flash the latest stock firmware for your phone
5. root your phone
6. finally flash some other ROM
As a general rule, do not forget to take extra precautions when you flash anything: ALWAYS DO A NANDROID BACKUP IN CWM...
Performs a wipe date , factory reset , then follow the guide;
[GUIDE] ROOT/UNROOT Stock ICS Firmware without flashing unsecure kernel
Simple way to root and unroot stock kernel without flashing insecure kernel.
Don't worry about custom counter and yellow triangle, with this method they never appear, because we only rooting, it's a rooting script not a custom kernel.
This rooting script included Busybox installer.
Rooting
Download this File first and put in your SDCARD
- CWM via stock recovery ;( http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34053267/CWM.zip) , or download zip from http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
- SU-Busybox-Installer.zip ( https://dl.dropbox.com/u/34053267/SU-Busybox-Installer.zip )
Reboot to recovery.
Choose apply update from external storage.
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
Choose install zip from sdcard or external SD
Choose and Install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
Reboot
You are done and now your device is Rooted
Method 2
CF_Root + stock kernel + [optional] Mobile Odin Free version
Here, you use an older CF_Root kernel, and flash your newer stock kernel
Quote:
First, get a CF_Root kernel from CF_Root thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399. Just get the nearest one to your ROM. You can download any ICS kernel, it will do the job for the root only purpose
Flash the CF_Root kernel with odin
Now, flash again your stock kernel with odin. You can get a stock kernel from lyriquidperfection thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619525
Do not forget to thank / donate to him
No stock kernels for you? use Mobile Odin free version (see below)
After flashing the stock kernel, root will usually stay and you will be reverted back to your stock recovery instead of CWM recovery
Okay, so this is what happened:
1) I received the OTA update and everything went fine with upgrading the my T-mobile Springboard tab to ICS 4.0.3
2) I then got brave and went ahead with rooting and installing SU using the technique described in "Root Stock T-Mobile Springboard" by xdajunkman. That worked fine and I was able to get CWM recovery installed.
3) I then tried to install the [ROM][ICS] [Unofficial] Root-ready Huawei/Springboard International ROM and downloaded the dload folder to my SDCard, etc. I tried using the dload folder with the ulmt.cfg file in it and that failed with a "Installation aborted" message. I then removed that file and tried to go into CWM and tried "Install from zip" approach. Same thing...installation aborted message.
4) So, then I did the next stupid thing...in CWM, I formatted my /system, /data, and /cache. That was a big mistake! I now have officially bricked by tab.
5) I tried to get rid of CWM recovery by extracting the recovery.img file from the stock rom zip file. I fastboot flashed that to the recovery and recovery2 partitions. I then thought, let me try extracting the update.zip from the stock rom zip and put that on the root of my sdcard and tried to install that. No go...it just says, update failed with a big red "FAIL" message in the center.
6) I then tried to install CM10, to see if that would work. I downloaded the TWRP recovery and also the CM10 ROM .zip file, along with the google apps zip. I flashed the TWRP recovery using fastboot. That worked fine. I was also able to install the CM10 Rom, or at least it reported back "Successful". Same with the google apps zip. But then when I reboot, it only gets to the T-mobile Splash screen and stays there forever.
Please help! I tried to install the Stock Rom using the TWRP recovery, but again, it reports "Installation aborted." So, what am I doing wrong or what can I do to fix this?
Thanks.
[UPDATE] -
Okay, so I actually tried installing CM10 again using the TWRP recovery since it said that it was "Successful." And sure enough, it was successful, it seems. Once I installed it, rebooted the tablet and waited on the T-mobile Springboard screen for about 10 minutes, it launched CyanogenMod. I then set up the tablet with CM10. I had received the unlock code from T-mobile and so my tablet was sim unlocked. I put a AT&T sim card and sure enough it got signal and I was able to surf the web and make phone calls. I downloaded the speed test app from the Play Store and noticed that I was getting about 1.5Mbps download and about 600kbps upload. Not bad. The problem I noticed is that I can't receive calls. I can call out, but when someone tries to call me, the tablet doesn't acknowledge an incoming call. The caller just goes straight to voicemail. I do get a voicemail alert.
So, I don't know whether that is an issue with the CM10 build or a problem in my network / APN settings.
I would like to get the rooted T-mobile International stock ROM on there so that I can try it with that. I'll keep you all posted.
Thanks!
9 times out of 10, I get installation aborted errors because of a botched download. Try downloading the file again, and if available, verify that the MD5 sum of your downloaded file matches the one provided by the developer.
And if I'm not mistaken, TWRP recovery and CWM recovery aren't capable of flashing the T-Mobile stock recovery. If you have TWRP working properly, I would continue trying to flash one of the unlocked ROMs available. I highly recommend HWMOD's ICS (available here)
Best bet would be to fastboot flash the recovery img from the hauwei site update.zip. Then do the standard pop the stock hauwei update.zip on the sd card and do the normal upgrade method. That should full wipe the phone and then you can start tinkering with it again. Also huawei posted the offical root on their site.

I don't want to mix up the T-mobile images with the Huawei images. Even though I've screwed things up already. But, if you read my previous post, I've got CM10 working, but no incoming calls.
Hello Xda,
I'm having an issue when installing IWT rom on my B92M 1GB 2012 version.
I had another rom with 4.1.2 from this forum. And my steps were:
1.) First i have flashed the phone with the 4.1.2 stock rom (b92m411GB.zip from the forum)- via flashtool - Download mode not Firmware upgrade(doesn't work with upgrade)
2.) All good. The rom installed, booted, everything seems to work.
3.) Installed the archive that roots the device from recovery.
4.) Then i have copied IWT UNIVERSAL BASIC ROM FOR 2012 MODELS on my card and installed it via recovery. (wipe dalvik and factory reset after that)
5.) All good. The rom installed, booted, everything seems to work well.
BUT
Then i have copied the IWT ROM VERSION 1.3.1 FOR 1GB 2012 MODELS on the external card and try to install this one via RECOVERY, the phone updates and when i reboot the phone freezes at the IWT boot screen (i have waited almost 2-3 minutes and the phone was vibrating from 2 and 2 seconds regularly - this happened once and when i saw nothing happens so i removed the battery). The thing is that he freezes at boot after update.
My questions are:
1. Are those the right steps to update to this rom?
2. Can anyone make a detailed step-by-step guide or a video tutorial (this would solve many other's problems)
3. Now i'm running b92m411GB.zip (stock) with IWT UNIVERSAL BASIC ROM FOR 2012 MODELS update. i have also installed on the phone OTA UPDATE. And it says there are no updates for this rom. Where i'm mistaking?
(With this version that i use now, wifi works, Bt also, i didn't have time to test the GPS)
4. What is the last IWT rom last version? Where can i find it?
Thank you in advance!
No one can help?
Anyone any ideeas?
I have found a solution
1. First of all you need to install via flash tool the clean rom for B92M
2. Then via recovery install: iwtv1-1.zip
3. Boot the system
4. Reboot in recovery and install: iwtv1-2.zip
5. Boot the system again
6. After boot and system started, reboot again in recovery
7. Now install the last archive from recovery also: iwtv1.3.1.zip
8. After it finishes you should be able to boot in system (IWT 1.3.1).
9. After it started you can now install the 1.4. via OTA updater
REMEMBER
After every update of system you should restart the system and let it boot in system.

I don't know what i am doing wrong, but I cannot install the xposed framework for Android 6.0.1
What I did so far:
1) installed a new stock rom
2) installed CF auto root, I have a confirmed SU.
3) in Recovery mode I try to install all Xposed framework zips from my SD card, but I always get an error message that the file check was not good.
Please give advice .
you can't install xposed framework on samsung devices on lollipop or marshmallow if its had a stock rom,if you try to..
the phone will get bootloop, if you want to install it,i suggest you install a custom rom,
it WILL NOT work on stock samsung devices.
After installing any custom rom,go here
You can install Xposed on stock Samsung roms. You just need the Touchwiz version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960
I succeeded installing CWM (Clockwork mod recovery).
In short what I did:
1a) Download kies 3 from samsung for the USB drivers to connect to your phone.
1b) Download Odin latest version, or older which comes with a specific software you want to install, usually latest works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
1c) Shutdown phone completely. Press volume down + power button + home button at the same time, to enter ODIN download mode.
1d) connect phone by USB and you should see a blue light and COMX, where X can be any number like COM5, etc. If you see this then
the connection between ODIN and mobile is ok. Please don't touch the USB cable as you can easily loose connection. In worst case
you need to Flash any Android stock rom with ODIN again , which can be found at Sammobile for instance. I had to do this because
my phone lost connection and the flash operation failed. When I boot my phone I only saw ODIN screen. Thankfully you can always
flash stock rom back. In my case, I read something about a locked boot loader etc etc... that would be a bit more work....
Unpack until you see a MD5 file. In Odin you click "Phone" or "AP". The file will be checked, that takes about 10 seconds, after that you can press
"start". After flashing you should clear cache and user data, otherwise you will see the Samsung screen for endless time.
1) I have android 6.01 and the CF auto root works perfectly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980683
Use Odin to flash, put file into phone or AP.
2) downlad CWM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/sm-g901f-to-s5-how-to-root-t2882104
Put the file, leave it zipped/packed, dont unpack it, put it into phone or AP again and start the ODIN flashing.
3) download Xposed framework, the right version. I am so far. I downloaded version SDK23, because that is the version for Android 6.0.X, but I got a message that it was for android 5.0 SDK 21, I am puzzled. Will try again.....
@es0tericcha0s, thank you will have a look at that.
Ah, i forgot I got sooo frustrated that I downgraded to 5.x to test the power consumption, if its better than 6.01, that I thought I still have 6.01 installed. But my stock rom is 5.x. downloading again, but now 5.x version ARM. Should work now.....
Edit: Flashed 6.01 android and Xposed ARM SDK23 installs fine...
Also installing Amplify, I read it about it that it works well with Greenify...
Amplify seems to be an impressive piece of software. Ir permits me to limit alarms and wakelocks! I can set the period of time it has to wait until it's alarm or is permitted to wake up. Wow....nice.
