How to Root Samsung Galaxy Ace GT 5830 Tutorial
Last time we saw on how you can root your Samsung Galaxy Ace GT 5830 which is on the Stock firmware 2.2.1 and also recently we came up with an article covering on how you can easily upgrade the firmware of your Samsung Galaxy Ace GT 5830 to the latest XXKP9 2.3.3. We really apologize for bringing in the article to root this firmware as for all those who have followed the procedure to update the latest XXKP9 2.3.3 the root access was revoked as the firmware was new. So, not to worry as we will now see in the due course of this article on how you can easily root your Samsung Galaxy Ace, which is powered by latest XXKP9 2.3.3 Gingerbread version of firmware.
Please note that many users doesn’t know the benefit of rooting the device, for all those you can refer on what are the benefits of rooting Android device here and then can proceed to the rooting of the device. Please also note that rooting the device voids the warranty, though the warranty can be claimed back by un rooting the device. We will see on how to root the device but just in case if you wish to know how you can un root the device so that you can re claim the warranty which is voided because of rooting then all you need to do is to update your Galaxy Ace GT 5830 again with the XXKP9 2.3.3 from the above link and then the root access will be revoked and then the fresh firmware will be installed without the rooting access.
So, now let’s proceed and see on actually how you can root the device, it’s very important to follow the instructions which are mentioned below including the ones which are mentioned as the pre rooting instructions followed by the express procedure on how you can root Galaxy Ace GT 5830.

Have you cleared the cache?
Are you facing any issues now?
Neal, i just bought a Galaxy Ace S5830 and i have 2 basic problems with it! I know here you are writing stuff about rooting it but i am hoping that maybe you can help!
1.When i have my phone switched off the alarm wont ring!..
2.When i receive an sms it only shows the time i received it and not the time they sent it to me!…
think you can understand my frustration!..is there anything i can do to fix this?…thank you
sure buddy we are always there to help you! Never hesitate clearing your doubts or asking questions, we are here to guide you and empower you!
Ans 1 – Its a phone issue as its programmed that way!
Ans 2- again its a firmware specific issue and since the “time stamp” doesn’t come by default with the phone you will have to manually install the apk to get that time!
Ans 3- We have taken down your request, we hope to address you really soon in the 2nd case and in the first case we are sorry to say that in off state the Alarm can’t be activated as of now with your firmware!
If any firmware comes in the future with the capability we will surely cover the same on androidadvices.com. Stay tuned! Do let us know for any more help on ANDROID!

Thanks buddy

hello sir, i reboot and update from sd cord but no such file or path found
Hey Neal, nice site you have here. I obtained a lot of information from your site. Thanks. Keep up the good job. I’m just curious does this rooting process applicable to 2.3.4 firmware?
thanks for the appreciation buddy!
Zorbyss,
to my knowledge, nothing can root a samsung galaxy ace 2.3.4 on DDKQ3…. and i also think it is the case generally re 2.3.4 on samsung galaxy ace.
i see a lot of videos about it, but they requires firmware upgrades…
hey neal, 2 things, which i have soke to my mobile supplier about with no luck…..
1. if i download a foto from internet/facebook etc or i save(to sd card) an mms foto, and i either switch off fonr or delete the original mms txt, the foto dissappears from the “downlaod” folder.
2. this may not be the case but, if i use the facebook for android app(even downloaded from either apps store or facebook itself, and use the app, i lose the sync and all data that i got from google calendar.
can u help?
i have “factory reset” my galaxy ace a few times now to resolve this.
yes that will be there in the facebook itself.
in the settings there will be the option to sync.
Hi Neal
I have samsung galaxy ace gt5830 and it doesnt store data on the sd card directly..it stores it on my phone memory making it full.How do i change that?
also my phone restarts automatically sometimes..or when i start browsing it vibrates and restarts the page..Do you think upgrading to gingerbread will resolve the issue?
you can move them from the “My Files” section!
how do i know whether its rooted
if you can see the super user app then its rooted!!
thanks
thanks for your appreciation, looking forward for your continued support
thats is crap … the fact that the SUPERUSER app is shown does not mean the phone is rooted. You need to actually use n app that requires a rooted phone to verify. Many of these processses actually install theapp (not 100%) but the phone is NOT ROOTED…
neal i have got galaxy ace GT 5830!! but i cant find the swype keypad option!!! i was using it but suddenly it disappeared from there how do i get it back
which v of firmware you are on?
