need help updating my galaxy ace having trouble trough kies know i have to try it manually can some one help please
Are you trying to update 2.3.3 via Kies ?
and what is your current firmware version
thanks for the reply my current firmware version is pda:kc2/phone:kb1/cs:kb2(tgy) and kies is telling me that my current firmware could not be upgraded so how should i upgrade it
just incase i didnt give to the rite firmware its froyo 2.2 or s58030 dont know which one is it
Go to settings > about phone and tell me firmware version
it says baseband version s5830LUBKA6 so i hope this is rite and i got a new ace even with this new phone kies is telling my that your phone is updated already but it says froyo2.2 on the phone info not gingerbread,why kies is giving problems cause my brother got the same phone but his phone got upgrades through kies but not mines but they are the same phones sorry to write you to much but just want to know the rite info
No probs you can ask as much you can , i suggest you to flash official released 2.3.3 firmware via ODIN instead of kies. ODIN is just a another way to install firmwares on phone . dont worry it is safe
thanks for the kind response, to use ODIN is it simple like kies or you have to read carefully and download a couple of things and follow the steps cause am not to good with unzipping and following steps
it is not so hard ,following my simple steps is really easy. ODIN is a tool for developers
Today you will find the Oficial Gingerbread update for your Firmware using Kies. You will get the S5830LUBKP7 Wich is the Gingerbread 2.3.4
Are you trying to update 2.3.3 via Kies ?
and what is your current firmware version
When unroot I got below error:
E:Can’t open /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
do you correctly select file unroot.zip in step 6
Yes, I did the correct step, I used upd_1.zip to root early. both upd_1.zip and unroot.zip at root directory of sdcard.
copy unroot.zip and rename it update.zip
hope it will work
hello, I have the same problem, and no mater if I try to root or unroot (as at this point I have no idea if any of them worked), I get the same error. I did what you suggested to Peter, but I still get the error.
My fw is S5830LUBKP7 gingerbread 2.3.4
Do you know what could be causing this?
Bythe way, I’m in Chile so KPH or others don’t work with 3G here…
Dear Kuldeep, I need your help! I used your other post to root my Samsung Galaxy Ace, but now my 3G is not working anymore. I also lost all my apps and numbers (these I have in a back-up file, but not my apps). Now I’ve tried to unroot it, and that’s not working either, so I’m getting a little frustrated. Can you help me by either fixing my 3G or helping me with unrooting it?
Do you have 2.3.4 gingerbread on your ACE
hi
I have 2.3.4 gingerbread and I too cant get 3g working on my ace anyhelp would be greatly appreciated
Your 3g is not working because your country’s 3G bandwidth is not supported by this firmware . Nirat where do you live ?
I live in Nepal. we have 3g services from NT(national carrier) and NCELL i tried it with both their sims all i get is a G signal at most an E on the screen.

hay i updated my phone to gingerbread 2.3.4 i see improvements but i would know if its necessory to root the phone?? and what is rooting for??? please let me know
by the way the upgrade was to my galaxy ace
ha ha ha , it is understood that you upgraded for ACE. but it seems you are like me who loves to explore.
1. Rooting is not necessary, it is all up to you .
2. what is rooting ?
–>
rooting is a process that will give you the permission to use your phone as administrator, after getting all permission you can modify your phone as your needs. company don’t want to give root permissions because after rooting you can remove their branding and all things of company.
androids are like PC , just install any ROM or do any modification like we do on windows PC. but modification needs run our pc as administrator , same is here we need to run our android as administrator. rooting will give you complete control on your phone.
This is an article that will help you to understand benefits of rooting.
what is rooting and why you must have a rooted android phone
thanks for the help i want to download some HD or good grapic games but dont know how to,how should i download high end games please give me some info i’ll preciated
does this unrooting process work on 2.2.1? if not..how can i unroot 2.2.1..thanks
First upgrade to 2.3.4 OR 2.3.3
Ok so i have 2.3.3 bhut i tried this and it didnt work i downloaded the file and at the reboot menu i did the thing and it said ok confirmed bhut then i rebooted my phone and its still showing version 2.3.3 on information screen
You are unrooting your phone , why you think you will see different in phone version
Ok so that means i have succesfully done it.
Download root checker app from android market and check
I met this problem:
E:Can’t open /sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
Installation aborted
thankyou you are amazing!!!!
Actually you are amazing !!!!
wen we copy and just click on update from sd card the option comes system and meta-inf and system wich 1 to select??
Its not recovery menu , man try again to boot properly
You have extracted .zip file , please place downloaded zip file as it is
i rooted my galaxy ace using your direction after that Remove Pre Installed Android Apps from http://androidflip.com/remove-pre-installed-android-apps/
now how can change all what i’ve done and get my galaxy ace factory setting ( all oreginal apps and remove the root) please help me
Getting back pre installed apps is impossible , you will only get default apps
Note: default apps comes with gingerbread , pre installed apps are installed by Samsung
You can do a factory reset by –
1. Switch off your phone
2. press middle key and power key and dont release until you boot in recovery mode
3. Select wipe data/fatory reset
4. then wipe cache
5. then reboot system now
it will delete all data , so make backup before doing this
thank you a lot for you answer
so what i understood that i can get my factory setting and remove the root with these steps
1. Switch off your phone
2. press middle key and power key and dont release until you boot in recovery mode
3. Select wipe data/fatory reset
4. then wipe cache
5. then reboot system now
then i will have all the apps that comes with my original Firmware (Froyo) before updating but not the ones that Samsung proved.
so if that right
i want to know very important thing if i kept all what i’ve done to my galaxy ace (the root and the removed apps) can i get the new update when android issued a new one and how
thank you alot for your help
Yes you van get update on your rooted Ace
thanks a lot for you kindness
so i can get the software update throw the about phone in the setting
.
.
.
.
.
i sent you a message with important information about my galaxy ace if you can help me
i will wait for your help
if you don’t want to send email i will wait for your help her
thanks again
will this works on galaxy mini?
Bro , it is only and only for Ace
Kulddep,
unroot is somehow how not working. pls help.
Tried changing the name of unroot.zip to update.zip also, still not working.
root checker still says device is rooted.
Strange
, Currently which firmware are you using ?
it’s KPH
Ok other solution is = re flash XXKPH firmware using Odin . (note- it will wipe all data)
Right, already started flashing, it’s been 40 min till now, not sure how much time will it take.
unrooting worked fine for me on ace 2.3.4 after rooting with upd_1.zip file
Hi i have a 2.2.1 Ace n its rooted , I want to update it but i don’t know how to update ?? Please can u help ??
You can follow this guide http://androidflip.com/android-234-gingerbread-update-samsung-galaxy-ace-installing-guide/
Major problem. I had rooted my phone and stupidly deleted the settings app (using a root uninstaller app) thinking it was unnecessary as I could access settings with the bottom left button on my Galaxy Ace. I backed up the settings app (settings.apk) first on my SD card but when I went to reinstall it after realising my error it says that my security settings won’t let me install non-android market apps. Of course I can’t change the security settings as I deleted the settings app. Then it force closed.
I tried to unroot the phone as per your article but the ‘settings’ have simply disappeared off the phone. I don’t know what to do as my phone is of little use without being able to change the settings. Please can you help me.
I’m on Gingerbread S5830XWKPO Android 2.3.3 Many thanks.
Very simple solution , just install this fantastic 2.3.4 firmware and you will have a fresh gingerbread

i rooted my phone using ur guide…bt now i cant reboot the phone in recovery mode…please help…
Tell me
Firmware version ?
Which buttons are you pressing to boot in recovery ?
PS- above guide is for unrooting
sir i have unrooted my phone superuser is gone but the kernel version still says 2.6.35.7-perf-CL445456 root@DELL140#1?is it still rooted?pls help.
Is this trick works with other galaxy phone series?
Hello… Need your help… I updated my android to 2.3.4 and rooted my galaxy ace without any glitch… But now my phone doesn’t have a 3G network… Only 2G… Pls help me… Thanks…!!!
does unrooting your fone will also remove the custom rom? i want to remove my custom rom and go back to stock rom.
if you applied this method on custom ROM then you will brick your phone ,
So first Clear cache and factory reset in recovery mode
Then install official firmware , this one is latest and most stable
Gingerbread 2.3.4 DDKQ6 on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830
Hi! I have followed you instructions above. My question is, are there any other indicators that the phone is unrooted and has restored to its original settings before the phone was rooted?
Download root checker app from market and check if your phone is rooted
I tried using root checker ver 3.2 by Joey Krim. However, during my first test (advance mode), the output says
“Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted.
Superuser.apk – com.noshufou.android.su – is NOT installed!
The application Superuser is recommended as it provides basic security and is available for free in the Android Market

Second time around and it displayed the same output. However, starting at the third trial and so on, the output says
“Congratulations! You have root access!

The application Superuser is recommended as it provides basic security and is available for free in the Android Market

It was weird though, I’ve got a feeling that something’s wrong, either my unrooting process or the app itself. Any ideas? :/
Re flash your current firmware using Odin , sweet and simple solution
Can I flash 2.3.5 to my phone instead? http://androidflip.com/install-android-2-3-5-on-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-xwks2-gingerbread-firmware/
Sure , you can flash any firmware you want ,,but not old version like 2.2.1.
Hi! I still get the same results after I flashed my firmware to 2.3.5. BTW, when I run the ‘basic mode’ in root checker, I get a simple result such as ‘Sorry, you don’t have root access. For detailed output, please use the advanced mode.’ Advanced mode is still contradicting basic results. Any thoughts about this?
Can I directly upgrade my firmware to 2.3.5 instead of reflashing current firmware (2.3.4)?
Hi Kuldeep,
i have galaxy ace, i am not able to do any operations, like typing, watching videos, setting changing, while all this operations automatically it will come to home screen, i reinstalled froyo from authorised service centre and i installed 2.3.3, and now i have installed 2.3.4, but still i have the same problem, can u please solve my problem. i purchased this phone 2 months before but still i am not able to use. please kindly help.
kuldeep i need your help URGENTLY !!
i did root my phone using your guide, and after that my frnd installed Clokworkmod recovery on it, now when i want to UNROOT it, i do it properly, following each step correctly, still my phone has root access ! i want to get back to stock recovery also,
it . also i want to unroot it successfully !!!!!
re flash your firmware using Odin , as simple as that
is there no other option ? Can i reflash my stock rom using kies ? i dont want to complicate things..
If not then please tell me how to do it so using ODIN. thanks. i want the OFFICIAL FIRMWARE , so that i can apply the future updates, i dont want any leaked firmware. thanks –
regards
if you are worried about “official future updates” then don’t worry we can install them without kies , when you are running leaked version and official update came out, just download newly launched official update and install it using Odin
*** we are always ahead of official update, if Samsung have 2.3.4 official then we are proving 2.3.5 , it also provided by Samsung but not for public
thanks ! i updated my phone (USING KIES lol)
even i wasnt expecting it to be successfull ! i have ddkq6 update now, The only problem i am facing now is with the USB connections, Whenever i connect the USB, it charges , no option comes in the notification bar to connect to pc or act like mass storage. I tried usb debugging in settings also, nothing worked, my computer ((( the same which used to connect to my previous firmware without any problems ))) Shows usb device not recognised !! Please tell me how to solve this ! thanks
