[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJCord:
1.) i heard that stockroms use different filesystem than custums. thats why backups cant be easily restored. is there a custom rom or any other posibility to flash this "other" filesystem?

2.) when flashing with odin, you say something about "MAKE SURE ALL REQUIREMENTS ARE MET"

i just managed to get ODIN4.3.8 (dayum...no downloads on this site seem to work-.-). just start as admin and im good to go? i never used odin so im currently sh1ting my pants in fear of bricking it (S5830. no m,l,c,i,9,8)

:/
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMillerNL:
1) ODIN does this for you. No other tools available.

2)you are gonna need the version for ace. Maybe sammobile has a version or a link?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJCord:
are there reallly no scribts or sth available. because its just a filesystem :crying:

when i install stock rom to get a backup working i restore my old 233 version => much effort, but still old system.

and the version i found is from: http://www.android-galaxy.info/anleitungen/samsung-galaxy-ace-auf-android-2-3-5-flashen/

from sammobile i got the lastest fw from spain. i also asked in the respective thread if i get some problems because of my (ex-branded) vodafone firmware AND if its in german (cuz its spanish version.)

might be dumb worries, but i better ask twice instead of creating a new paperweight for letters i dont have

Volume issue in Ace

Hi,

I'm badly in need of help.. Last week I flashed my Ace witha a custome ROM (Droid Ace) on to my Ace. Previously I was on DDKQ8. This new rom has beats audio inbuilt. But after installing this ROM, my phone ringtone volume got decreased very much compared to earlier(on DDKQ8). Even before also the sound was not comprehensive. But now it has become worse. Did anyone faced this issue of low volume after flashing new ROM and was able to fix it ? If yes, please help me... :(

Aren't those files mentioned in the rom thread? I think they should be flashed through cwm.

About the theme, first make sure you have the base. If it's a cm7 theme, install cm7. If you have a cm9 theme install cm9 etc.

Then install it, shouldn't be a problem. Make sure the theme supports your dpi level though.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeVentus:
It's kind of simple actually:

1) Make sure your battery is empty

Hi all,

I could really do with some help! First of all, my phone is a defy running JB....all going well and had no problem updating. Problem is with my wife's galaxy ace s5830.

It's stock and has never worked well. My wife hates it. She doesn't care what I do to it so long as it works afterwards! Kies says it can't update it to 2.3.......don't know why.

Everything I've looked on here and other sites says I must be running 2.3 before starting anything so it's not even rooted yet.

Tried following the first page instructions but no option to select zip files from sd........only update.zip

So, I'm struggling. Btw, if possible I'd prefer to do everything direct on the phone rather than Odin.....is that possible?

Galaxy Ace GT-S5830T Root

After lots of reading and some false starts I seem to have finally succeeded in gaining root on my Ace S5830T.

What a trial.

Here are the steps I took as best as I can remember.

I used two or three different SD cards. One I used to hold the scripts/firmware files as they were needed. Another one I set up to be my final working card ... a 16GB Ultra HC card.

1. I downloaded ODIN and installed it my bootcamp partition. (YEP. I did this on my iMac running Windows 7 64bit.)

I used the instructions from this thread.

2. My phone has the Australian Telstra firmware. This seemed to block every attempt to gain root. I followed the hint from this thread which suggests that you flash with the OPTUS firmware first, and then flash with the TELSTRA firmware. This appears to break the security on the phone. ... Don't ask ME.

3. After flashing back to TELSTRA with ODIN I copied universal_gb_root_v17 to the sd card and ran that script from the recovery mode. After this step I had a Superuser app.

4.Next I loaded clockworkmod onto an sd card and then ran the script from the recovery mode.I used this how to guide, but there might be others.

5. Next I booted back into CWM (see I know the acronyms now!) and partitioned my "working" SD card with an ext partition, a swap, and the rest was FAT 32.

6. I copied DARKTREMOR A2SD to the SD card.

7. In CWM I mounted mount the data and system by going to mounts and storage>>mount /data and mounts/storage>>mount /system options respectively.

Then back to main menu and go to install zip from sd>>choose zip from sdcard option and select the a2sd. Thanks to this hint.

8. Reboot the phone.

9. Copy the backed up files from the PC back to the SD card.

and finally ... do a backup from CWM.

Phew!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMillerNL:
Well done.

Just one thing. You don't need root to flash CWM.

So you can basically just start with step 4 if you are going to install a custom rom. For stock this is the required way though.
