hi hubix, do you know where to find this galaxy rom: S5830DXKA9 if you know please post a link. or do you know how to extract a rom from galaxy ace because i want to share my S5830DXKB1 firmware which i currently have now.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] hubix:
If you can't find it at samfirmware it doesnt exist. Link: http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-S5830.htm

The newest Asia firmware is S5830ZCKA7

I've related names of the newest ROM for any continent in the 1st post.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] vertcam9:
Actually, i'm from the philippines and when i connec to Kies its prompting me to upgrade my firmware from xxxxDKA9 to xxxxDKC1, so i assume it is an asian firmware, but when i check in samfirmware.com this xxxDKC1 is under the European firmware. Nonetheless, i have upgraded my firmware via kies and now it is xxxDKC1, and i dont see any issue/s on it so far. :)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] blind09:
One question, maybe a noob one hehe, now that I have rooted my ace... does any one knows how can I make a nandroid backup? Is that possible with this device? I want to have a backup before I mess with the phone :P you know, move apps to SD, uninstall carrier apps, try other ROMs, etc.

I´ve been searching about this in this great forum but havent found anything :S theres a thread about Nandroid 2.0 but it is for a HTC G1.

I hope someone can help me with this, thanks a lot in advance!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] hubix:
You must wait for custom recovery to make this things
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] blind09:
hubix, thanks for your answer, could you please tell me more about this "custom recovery"? I really dont know what that is. Thanks in advance.

So nandroid isn´t possible in samsung ace? Is this "custom recovery" the only option we have to make backups for samsung ace?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] hubix:
For this day there's no option to make nandroid backup on Ace. Wait few week's for first custom recovery & first custom ROM's!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] psycut:
Hi everyone! Just got myself a SGA. Had galaxy 3 before. Found out that most of the tricks from i5800 don't work for SGA. Have a few questions therefor:

1. How to backup my stock firmware (want to do it before flashing to KPE). I mean the terminal commands I used on a previous phone don't work (naturaly because the partition names are not the same). Any advise?

2. Does KPE kernel support ext2, ext4 conversion? If so, how to convert.

3. What about JIT? Is it initialy enabled or is there a way to enable it?

Looking forward to all comments. Thnx!

P.S.: I read that I have to unroot before flashing. Can anyone please explain why? Is simple wipe not enough? If I'm on 2.3.3 (which seems to be impossible to unroot yet) how can I flash back to 2.2 Froyo?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Darvadouille:
I turned back to froyo without unrooting. Just restore the phone factory setting and flash again. But be carefull, you have to flash back to froyo with a usual firmware. Don't use a one file firmware directly, you might enjoy a brick...

It worked without probs for me.

Good luck!

Tried it. Did not work. You see my problem is not to get download mode - I can switch the download mode and start flashing through Odin. The problem is after Odin flashes the FW, phone reboots, but can not get into the recovery mode, so it is unable to finish the flashing. Any ideas how to fix that?

P.S. - I did nothing to cause such problem. I just started flashing for the first time and the Odin said - Can't open the usb port: code 5. So I disconnected the phone and rebooted it and the problem was already there. I cannot think of a way I have influenced something. Then I fixed the usb port problem by killing all the Kies processes, but since then I can not flash. Damn.:(

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] psycut:
I realy appreciate your efforts to help, but this is not the case. The usb port works okay now with Odin. I can flash. And flash succesfuly, meaning the firmware id downloaded to the device. But that it just first part of flashing. The second part is: phone reboots into recovery mode and installs the downloaded firmware. And my phone can not boot into recovery mode. Not manualy, not after flashing through Odin. Thus the phone is unable to finish the flashing or to boot. Recovery mode broken I guess. And I'm starting to think that it is a hardware problem.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] psycut:
You are seeing the contents of *.tar (not *.rar). You have a one package firmware. If you want to flash you have to check the "one package" option in Odin and only selsct the *.ops file and the *.tar file in lowest line which says "one package". Leave everything else blank. Then flash the usual way. :)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] psycut:
I don't think that these are problems. Like every device Ace has it's own specifics. The device is rather new, so the users are just discovering how to do everything correctly for the device.

And please don't be scared by my previous posts. I had problems with flashing because the hardware of my device was broken, not because flashing is very complicated and I did something wrong (;
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Elliotjue:

Thank you so much!!

It just worked very well.

However, My problem is, how to unroot the Gingerbread version for the Galaxy Ace?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] stud9920:
What happens if I don't unroot before flashing ?

It appears I cannot connect in USB normal mode, only in download mode. Don't know when it started.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] psycut:
Also wonder about that. A few people told me that they flashed without unrooting and everything went fine. So I figured, that unroot is suggested for the case if you brick your phone when flashing and hsve to give it to guarantee service, so they don't findout that you have messed with root access (in some countries it voids the warranty) :D

Not sure what you mean. You are connecting the device which is booted? Download mode is only possible if you boot by pressing home + power + volume down. Please clarify.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] stud9920:
Well, in normal operation ("plugging in while in normal mode"), on 3 different computers (7-32/7-64/XP), I get a "USB Device not recognized", while the phone itself only notices it it charging. There is no access to the USB drive, and no menu to enable it.

But when I boot in download mode, the phone gets detected nicely, and new drivers get installed automatically. This doesn't solve the original problem, though.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] psycut:
I see. Did you try to uninstal the drivers (by deleting them from the device manager while the phone is connected) and reinstalling them afterwards? Usualy works for me. :)

But then, if you tried on different PCs, then that's probably not the answer. Did you try to reset? Might fix things. Afterall the phone is recognized in download mode when the system is not booted, so it looks like a program problem.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] stud9920:
Well that's funny! After going from download mode to standard mode, regular USB is working again, something that 10 standard reboots did not fix...
