Hi all....
Yes, there are loads of threads on this, but it appears my own specific problem isn't mentioned anywhere and I'm hoping someone can help.
The normal 'update.zip' way or rooting (official) 2.3.3 just doesn't work on my Ace - I get the following error:
Applying Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/csc/h3g/system'
Installation aborted
I think it may be something to do with the three mobile firmware, but can't be sure - is there any way of rooting this so I can use Titanium Backup?
TIA

Yes, it is, and have also tried renaming it as suggested a couple of other places - very frustrating!
You're on stock recovery ? If yes , flash CWM and try again .

The last time I tried CWM on my last Ace it totally bricked it! Not compatible, so reluctant to go down that road again unless I know for sure it won't brick it. I was lucky enough to get the bricked one swapped out as faulty as it was less than a week old.....
EDIT: Actually, it was ROM Manager that bricked the phone, but I'm wary of anything with the 'ClockWorkMod' name attached to it!

I'll go find the thread, thanks.....
EDIT: Found it, but although my own errors as described in my 1st post, it definitely isn't rooted after it.... no root privileges for Titanium or anything else when trying to run them.....
Does anyone know if there's a compatible CWM for the Ace? I mean one that doesn't brick it when you select 'Backup' from the CWM menu!!

No joy - I did get CWM installed, and did a backup but still can't root the stupid thing. CWM gives less info on the problem than Samsung recovery....
--Installing: /sdcard update.zip

Installation aborted.
I think I'll just have to give up as it appears no one else has this problem so it's not likely to be solved.... at least it never got bricked this time...
I actually downloaded the update.zip again and tried..... different error in CWM, but much more info this time......
I think your only way to root is to flash a custom ROM .

Ta - what custom ROM's are available, is there a list anywhere? Is there anything actually better than 2.3.3?
I guess since I can't use TB I'd need to reinstall all my apps again if I flashed a custom ROM!! *Groan*
you can try cf-root by ketut.kumajaya
Tried VillanROM (three times) but no keyboard - seems like a common problem with it. Don't think I fancy the cf-root. Too many files available at the bottom of the post and don't know which one to use, plus many pages of problems with it, so I think I'll pass.....
I too own an SGA (2.3.3) on 3 and rooted it using this zip:
http://db.tt/6YsR3WVM
I selected "install zip from sdcard" instead of "install update from sdcard".
Worked first time for me. Hope that helps =)

Tis' OK - I put 2.3.4 on it, then CodeROM v2, so it's now rooted anyway.... at last!!
Thanks to all.
Hey there everybody,
I'm new on the forums and i just got my samsung i5500 a few days ago, it came with 2.2 froyo by default.
Considering i have loads of questions I'll try to be brief, I'm trying to get cyanogenmod on my phone but the tutorial i found there seemed to be quite lacking in detail considering this is my first time using android, so my questions are:
1. what exactly do i need to do/install on my phone before trying to get the cyanogenmod on there ? ( in the respective order please)
2. do i need to root my phone ?
3. when i tried to root my phone using universal androot 1.6.2 beta 5 i got an error "Failed ! No ~~~ Fu goo ~~~" why am i getting this error and how do i fix it ? (the log says access denied in several places)
4. do i need to install odin on my pc to install clockwork mod considering i don't have the clockwork mod ? if yes, where do i get odin from and do i need a specific odin for my galaxy 5 ?
5. do i need the rom manager ?
6. where do i get cyanogen mod files ?
7. how do i do a wipe data/factory reset ?
8. do i need to install 2.3.7 gingerbread before installing the mod ? if so, how ?
Please excuse my noobish questions but i'm completely new at this and terrified of damaging my phone, thanks for your time and attention.

1. Install 'clockworkmod recovery'
2. Yes
3. Did that for me, but pressing the root button again, before shutting app, worked
4. No, you can install clockworkmod through the app 'ROM Manager' found in the market, be sure to click our phone model though!
5. For installing clockworkmod, and if you get premium, downloading the latest version of cyanogen
6. Through premium app 'ROM Manager', or go to the rom manager website and find the files on there.
7. You have that option when you are booted into recovery mode (used for installing roms)
8. If I understood your question right, cyanogen rom is gingerbread 2.3.7 so installing that is all you have to do
I was exactly the same as you when I first did it, kept asking questions and was nervous, but if you follow the instructions, you can't go wrong

4. Tried installing it through rom manager but my phone model wasn't in the list, any ideas why ? could my phone not being rooted have affected this ?
6. tried searching around on the site but the cyanogenmod post says that the files are only available on the weekends or you need a premium account or something like this, any help with this ?
7. how do i get into recovery mode ?

Do you have the latest version of it? Or,
have you tried any other apps? E.g 'z4root' or 'superoneclickroot'
4. When did you try it? Its only recently been added. And I would root first, just to make sure that's not stopping it
6. I havnt personally used it, but id ask that in the dedicated cyanogen port thread in development, they'll be able to help you more
7. Through rom manager, after you have installed the clockworkmod

Yes, as i said i have 1.6.2 beta 5, and i haven't tried the others because this one was deemed the safest to use, i'm kind of skiddish about using other unsafe programs
4. I tried it a few hours ago, but i guess i'll try again if i can get it to root.
6. found em, thx anyway
Alright, its there for me so if you root and its not there just tell me and ill try help from there. Good luck!

1. what exactly do i need to do/install on my phone before trying to get the cyanogenmod on there ? ( in the respective order please) Root your phone using Universal Androot- might take a few tries- just keep trying, flash your phone with Clockwork Mod v4 via Odin (or Rom Manager), put the 3 latest CM7 files on your devices SD card, go into recovery mode on your device, then install the files in the specific order (Follow the simple instructions on the official I5500 CM7 thread located under the Development section of our phones forum)
2. do i need to root my phone ? Yes
3. when i tried to root my phone using universal androot 1.6.2 beta 5 i got an error "Failed ! No ~~~ Fu goo ~~~" why am i getting this error and how do i fix it ? (the log says access denied in several places) Just keep trying, it'll work eventually.
4. do i need to install odin on my pc to install clockwork mod considering i don't have the clockwork mod ? if yes, where do i get odin from and do i need a specific odin for my galaxy 5 ? I used Odin to flash Clockworkmod on my phone but I think you can do it via Rom Manager now, not too sure but the ODIN method was pretty simple, plug your phone into computer, put your phone into download mode and follow the 'One Package' method and then start the process.
5. do i need the rom manager ? I didn't need Rom Manager when I flashed CM7 to my phone, but CM7 automatically puts RomManager on your device.
6. where do i get cyanogen mod files ? Check out the official CM7 I5500 thread.
7. how do i do a wipe data/factory reset ? Go into recovery mode and click wipe data.
8. do i need to install 2.3.7 gingerbread before installing the mod ? if so, how ? CM7 installs 2.3.7 Gingerbread to your device.
Please excuse my noobish questions but i'm completely new at this and terrified of damaging my phone, thanks for your time and attention.

thanks guys for your help, i got everything working
If your phone is loaded with Froyo 2.2.2 you will have to downgrade to 2.2.1 as the exploit used by superoneclick ect to allow root access was fixed in the latest Froyo release. Just follow the threads for upgrading. Good luck!

Birdmanul, I have had the same problems trying to root my I5500. Could you PLEASE give me a run down of the program you used or what EXACTLY you did to root your phone? I have tried w/all one click root programs w/o success and would really appreciate your insight. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi i got my white AT&T Galaxy Note ii few months back and i really loved it, i was first using my phone with Wifi since it was locked, but after unlocking it few days ago, when i inserted my sim card, the phone showed 4G and ever since my BATTERY have not known peace, i loose 1% battery life in like 2 minutes.
I also had issues turning on my wifi hotspot so i can share network to other devices.
When i found this awesome site, i learned that i could root my phone and get it to do so much more, i did that successfully with an APK app here called framaroot, now i followed every single step well and booted my phone with Samsung Custom rom i think.
But the problem now is, my battery is still not been able to hold a charge, the 4G icon is still there which i don't need for anything, am ok with 3G, and i still have all this crazy useless AT&A apps allover my phone and i can't even turn on my hotspot for tethering.
Please i hope to get solution to this problems, and i hope i have not asked my question in the wrong thread.
Thanks all.

go here for downloading you stock firmware
or here also download odin from the second link
then open odin and place the downloaded tar file in pda
if it is a zip file extract it you will get tar file or tar.md5
then backup your data etc and turn off your phone
press vol down+home+power button to enter a screen then press vol up to enter download mode
connect your phone to pc
odin will show the port you connected
then start flashing after some time usually below 10min
odin will show pass then remove your phone and on
your phone will be as fresh as you bought

yes you can but the better is flash stock rom before you go to any custom ones
first flash the stock
then root
then do as you want install any custom rom kernel etc etc
and the process for installing stock rom will be on the original thread of the rom so follow that

Am in Africa right now and downloading here is very much limited, so i want to know, do i really need to download the the stock rom from the first link and flash it before this problem can be fixed or can the CUSTOM Jedi rom do the job for me as well, please i don't want to download 2GB if i really don't need it then renew my internet connection with a huge amount.

Hi,
After installing the Jedix 19 ROM the phone is stock on the Samsung Galaxy Note II logo.
What do you think could be the cause of this, i even did the wipe data and wipe cache process but still the same thing.
Do you have a recovery installed? If you've got cwm, download CyanogenMod and stick it on an mini SD card, move it to your phone, factory wipe it and flash it. Its worked for me on a boot looped gnote2. Also, once you get a working ROM, just use your root to remove system apps.
only do this is if you have a custom recovery like cwm or twrp
Step by step:
0: get the required stuff, you're gonna need about 250mb of internet, a microsd card, a card reader and some patience.
1: download CyanogenMod, http://get.cm and get a stable for the t0lteatt (att gnote 2)
2:download gapps for 4.3.
3:move them both to the SD and put it in your phone. Boot into recovery.
4:factory reset it, hope you don't using a out of the box phone.
5:flash cm, then gapps.
6:reboot
7:if it works, take a backup
Good luck!

Hi thanks so much for your reply, i appreciate your time.
Yes i have a backup file with the help of CWM and i have been able to move back to my backup file.
My phone model is SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 and from all the reviews i have seen i think the JediX Custom ROM is the best yet for it so am trying to stick with it for a start.
I need suggestions on why after getting the congratulation message to feel the force, it won't boot and just hangs.
Please if you have experienced this in the past please your suggestions are welcomed.
Ask me questions and i'll provide answers that am sure will help you to help me solve this
I would just flash cyanogen for the time being to see if itll even boot. It just replaces the downloading stock in previous posts. If you can get it to boot, that will be progress.

So sorry i forgot to mention it that i was able to restore to my stock backup file and my phone is working fine, but i still want to flash a ROM on it.
Am tired of charging this phone every minute, this is a Note II for crying out loud.
If i ask you to choose for me, between Jedix19 and CyanogenMod 10, which would you stick with so that i'll know if am to start downloading a new ROM to flash again and try.
Thanks
Honestly I've never used a Jedi ROM, so mainly if you want to stick to Jedi try flashing a different version. Good job taking that backup, that saved a whole lotta trouble.

for battery try any other kernel or use set cpu or no frills to set up the kernel for optimum battery
That, or your battery may just be shot. You can buy one for it off the internet: I'm rockin' a 5300 mah for this.

Hopefully, you wonderfully knowledgeable people can help with this one!
I recently rooted my Galaxy S3 with no problems and decided to install a Custom ROM, (Omni version 4.4.2). Followed the instructions on a page that the forum won't allow me to post a link of and got to the point of installing the new ROM. It then came up with "Installation Aborted" and "Status 7".
I then found an explanation of how to sort out the problem of Status 7, at which point I attempted to put the edited version back onto my phone, only to realise that my computer and phone are no longer mounted and I cannot access the SD Card. I've tried disconnecting and re-connecting with no joy, because I'm stuck in ClockWorkMod it won't show up on my PC.
Now here's the moronic part... I completely missed the big bold lettering of "Before you install a custom ROM, PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP ROM!!!", so I cannot restore to another point.
Any suggestions and feel free to assume I'm a complete idiot when describing any fixes.

I recently rooted my Galaxy S3 with no problems and decided to install a Custom ROM, (Omni version 4.4.2). Followed the instructions on a page that the forum won't allow me to post a link of and got to the point of installing the new ROM. It then came up with "Installation Aborted" and "Status 7".
I then found an explanation of how to sort out the problem of Status 7, at which point I attempted to put the edited version back onto my phone, only to realise that my computer and phone are no longer mounted and I cannot access the SD Card. I've tried disconnecting and re-connecting with no joy, because I'm stuck in ClockWorkMod it won't show up on my PC.
Now here's the moronic part... I completely missed the big bold lettering of "Before you install a custom ROM, PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP ROM!!!", so I cannot restore to another point.
Any suggestions and feel free to assume I'm a complete idiot when describing any fixes.

Download another stock rom from sammobile switch phone off and flash it with odin then factory reset Done..
You can then start again... By the way status 7 is usually caused by wrong recovery or old recovery.
Use Odin install latest original firmware then root then install latest CWM to get rid of status 7 error

Do we have a repository for Sammy UK ROMs that isn't Sammobile? It's downloading painfully slowly.

You sir, are a gent. Thank you kindly. :good:
Thought we'd got the problem sorted but it seems to not like ArchiDroid, still waiting on the stock ROM to download as there are server problems.
Out of interest, would a KitKat recovery work on a 4.3 ROM?

I had that, it was an older version of CWM causing the status 7, would TWRP help ?

We're all sorted, it was a 4.0.4 CWM installed with a 4.3 ROM. Upgraded CWM and we're good to go! I don't think he's brave enough to attempt a KitKat install after 6 hours of being stuck in CWM, haha.
Thanks again to all that posted. :victory:
As Kalavere says, all sorted! Looks like the key to Custom ROMS is make sure you have the latest CWM!
Thank you all for your help!

Seems like you need to install a new rom on your phone. Do you have a custom recovery? If yes, what recovery do you have?
I can give you a new rom and instructions on how to install it, but you will need CWM or TWRP for that.
Cheers,

If you don't have any custom recovery then you want to flash stock rom of your android.

No matter bro I will flash with stock rom. Please tell me process and files to use. I never ever flashed before so this will be the first time for me. I will go with your process step by step. I have pc also but it will be better by my phone only.

You need to do some research before you make things worse. You will have to have a pc. Then it is a simple matter of flashing the device which will wipe it completely.

Watch these YouTube video. You get flashing procedure in SP flash tool and download link of stock rom in video description.
You need SP flash tool to flash your android.
Download from here
Sorry for saying this , but you should be aware that Rooting a device has its own ups and down/
You should have researched more and must have had a custom recovery incase things go awry.
Now that things have gone bad , the only option you have is flash a rom for your device using SP Flash Tool.
Google for your phone model and download firmware and flash the rom
If you have any trouble finding a rom or flashing it , please feel to contact me.
