hw to root this os ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] gouthamgmv:
You upgraded it successfully? :/ I'm anxious here, stuck at the logo part! :|
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] er.davinder:
I wanna know which ROM where you using before flashing it with DDKQ5,

Did you guys read the precautions before flashing? ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] gouthamgmv:
THE REAL FIX FOR THE BOOTLOOP:

reboot into RECOVERY > (not download)

wipe cache and data! (or factory reset)...

DONE!

reboot into the rom that you were trying to use!

takes 20 seconds and no reflashing anything.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] akdwayiam:
do i need to root my phone to download this update?

will it void my warranty?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] er.davinder:
No, you don't have to root your device in order to flash this ROM,

and also it will not void your warranty because you are flashing the 'Original Stock Rom' for Indian region with no modifications what soever...

But before flashing this ROM

You must go into recovery mode (by pressing POWER +MENU key) Do the factory reset/Data wipe,

then put your phone in downloading mode(by pressing volume down + menu + power key)

and then flash with the files that i have provided in RAR using Odin multidownloader v4.38
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] akdwayiam:
Thank u sir for the quick reply.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Teclogo:

Does This Update Have SMS on Call Reject And Call Blocking. and yes does it support VoIP Calls.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] er.davinder:
i guess those features are in the Chinese firmware
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] er.davinder:

Is it safe to update from xxkph directly, also i have rooted my ace. should i unroot or just wipe the data ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SHIV9911:
can't play game after the upgradation.....game like NFS,realfootball(works fine for android 2.2)

plzzzzzzz help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] er.davinder:
hey man i also faced a similar problems i too annoyed with it ,

I searched around and found that some games were specifically made for FORYO! (games like NFS shift) and those games don't run on Gingerbread or have issues with gingerbread os,

this what you can do! search for " NFS shift gingerbread HVGA Galaxy ace" you will definitively find NFS gingerbread version for your Ace :):)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] er.davinder:
Just factory reset/Data wipe and flash this Rom,

if you want you can root your phone after flashing it and there is no need to unroot

I upgraded my phone from KPH and ran into some issues. Created steps for everyone in case you want to refer.

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for bricking your phone or any phone and/or software damage OR any pc problems. You are taking risk of following these steps on your own.

Just follow these instructions if you are upgrading from KPH:

1. Take backup of apps, data on SD Card, Move SD Card contents on PC.

2. Format SD Card

3. Clean all data/factory reset

4. Clean battery stats

5. Clean Cache

6. Put Phone in Download mode and Install this GB 2.3.4 India ROM thru ODIN

7. You might see reboot problem (samsung logo screen coming again n again)

8. Put Phone in recovery mode and then again do factory reset, WIPE all data etc. again

9. Reboot your phone and you are

10. Even if after doing these steps if you see reboot problem which I saw on my phone

a. PUT phone in download mode and reinstall GB 2.3.4 India ROM again thru ODIN

b. Restart phone once done. Now you should be fine.

Also The internal memory is annoying. Its only 181 MB. I have configured my phone to install apps into my SD card. But eventhough some apps install on phone memory taking lots of space. I am a power user. Is there a way to increase the Internal memory. I also heard that we can partition our SD card so that the OS treat it as part of Phone memory. Is it possible.. please help me...

Hi when the ddkq5 was realeased,after upgrading to it, I backed up my stock gb ddkq5 using cwm.

Then installed gingerreal 1.1

Everything worked well untill I tried to restore my stock ddkq5 from cwm, what I got is an endless bootloop at the second samsung logo..:(

I could restore my gingerreal image and then there was no bootloop.it was ok..

Next I tried to flash 5file ddkq5 from xda via odin it was stuck at big partition error..

Is it the ext4 file system causing problems?

If so how to revert it,i couldnt do it with ext4 manager..

I have recreated those conditions and same errors repeated.but i found I could flash cf root as pda,in,odin and den restore my gingerreal image.

Also from the same previous state I managed to flash froyo via odin n den then followed by gingerbread via odin,( both one package and the multi file) with success.., I would like to know what was the error due to and how to correctly restore ddkq5 after installing a cfroot based rom..

Pls help me understand this, though Iam a new MEMBER, iam not that new to flashing.I hope somebody can explain the technical stuff behind

Thank you

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annaluba:
Oh god, heres hoping no-one gets cross with me for starting a new thread..........

I am obviously what you call a "noob" here!! I have researched lots and learned alot of stuff reading these forums and very grateful, but now a little confused as what I need to do. Here goes....

I have successfully rooted my phone HTC Desire with no problems with revoked 3. I rooted my phone due to internal memory issues! I have superuser in applications and have downloaded Titanium Backup from market and backed up apps and data using that application. I have not as yet backed up using HBOOT recovery yet....

My confusion is here. I have checked my phone which is PVT4, 20,000 (checked via Terminal Emulator) and it states S-ON. I have not partitioned my sd card. Am I right in thinking if I want to partition card I have to s-off my phone FIRST? Can I partition with S-ON? If I want to install Insertcoin do I have to do all these bits first or can I just go for it? The threads I have read about partitioning seem a little confusing to me and have also read about Alpharev etc.

I think I need someone to tell me step by step which way round to do things if thats possible??

Again, sorry if I am making people repeat things. I have tons of pages saved to favourites and I think I have overloaded my brain a bit and got myself too confused.

Thanks for any help I get!

Well, the post above was very helpful! Thanks so much for understanding!! If you read my post, the first thing I did was explain and apologise, and secondly, I HAVE searched the forum and read a huge amount. In the process, I have confused myself and got into a muddle with all the information available.

Why bother to reply to my question if you are irritated by it. Just ignore....especially as someone had kindly already answered.

THANKS VERY MUCH FOR THE FIRST POST I RECEIVED. I have not seen that tutorial before and will be using it this afternoon as it seems very clear to me, and thanks to the XDA Developers Forum in general for being here!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
u dont need s-off to partitioning the sd card to create an ext partition

s-off make u change the partition table on ur phone by flashing a new hboot (stock hboot have for example system/cache/data with these dimension 250/40/147)..by flashing a new hboot u change that size..but is not required for some roms

for insert conin there are 2 versions i think..one for the stock hboot and one for the cm7 hboot (if u have s-off and u flashed the cm7 hboot of course)

the ext partition on the sdcard for insert coin is required..as the rom doesn't fit in the desire rom, so need the extension on ur sdcard

if u want s-off anyway u can try revolutionary.io (much easy and fast) if ur hboot is 0.93.x or 1.02.x..after s-off u can flash with fastboot the hboot u want from alpharev.nl..but u will need the rom that fit that hboot..read the requirement for the rom u want flash
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
I definitely was not irritated by it! I fully understand your post (that you are confused). But it should definitely not a problem for a user here on xda to start a whole new search. All questions you asked were answered. It's not a problem that they confused you (we all started without any knowledge) but next time you should write what exactly confuses you in the answers.

Nevertheless, I did not want to offense you in any way! If I did, I feel sorry.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annaluba:
Thank you for a response! I was slightly offended but no worries. I do see how frustrating it must be to constantly get people asking questions that have already been answered elsewhere....the problem being that there are so many threads answered by so many people with different solutions/links that it can be confusing to decide which path you take next....but thanks for your apology:)

Anyway, the link I was given at the beginning is brilliant and I have managed to S-OFF my phone so really pleased. I then went on to partition the card, downloaded GParted etc and booted up computer. Followed all instructions as per video but when it gets to the page to start doing it and the guy says be really careful you choose the right bit or you can mess up your computer.... well I only seem to have one choice. When I click the drop down menu it doesnt look like it has found the sd card in my phone. Now seriously worried about doing anything as I dont want to mess up my computer.

Any help massively appreciated..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Yeah, gparted can be a bit confusing when using the first time. On gparted website you find a very good documentation:

http://gparted.sourceforge.net/documentation.php

In the red market area you choose your device. Because its size is also listed, you cannot do something wrong:

After choosing your sd card, you have to partition it. Choose the unformatted area. and go to "Partition > New". A window appears:

In the area "Free Space Following (MiB)" you type "1024". As filesystem you choose fat32. In the field "create as" should stand "primary partition" by standard. Then press add. After this, choose the unformatted space and create parition like befoere. Now you only have to change the "file sytem" field to ext4.

To apply changes, you click on the green tick. If it completes successfully, you have partitionend sd card with a fat32 partition and a ext4 partition. Congratulations. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annaluba:
Oh,thanks so much for answer, I am now in the correct bit but.....I only have a 4 gb card!!!!!! Is that too small?? What sizes do I need to use if the card is OK?

Thank you sooooooooo much ;):o
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
That's absolutely no problem. You can also do these steps for a sd card with only 4 gb space. Removed the phrase "I assume ..." because it's not important.

Do not forget the thanks-button. ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annaluba:
Ha, yes!! Erm, pleased its ok but just not sure what numbers to put in the boxes now.... has it changed cause I have a smaller card?? At the mo it says:-

Free space preceding = 1

Primary Partition

New Size = 3758

Free Space Following = 0

FAT32

and nothing in label

Thank Youuuuuuu
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Change free space following to 1024. This is enough space for most a2sd roms (even sense). Then paritition this free space (primary partition/ ext4; rest standard).

Don't feel sorry for asking for help. The threads on here can be so confusing, and when you use the search you usually find a load of stuff that has no bearing on what you want to know...

Just follow the guides and if you get stuck just ask. There's loads of good people on here to offer help if you need it. That's one of the reasons that XDA is here.

At least you did your research and tried to solve your problem first before posting the thread. The annoying people are the one's who don't search and try to work things out for themselves.

Follow the advice of MatDrOID and people like him and you can't go wrong.

Good luck.

If I can suggest a first time new ROM try GingerVillain 2.8 (AOSP)

I put this on as my first ROM and it's great. Easy to install and works like a dream. I've installed Go Launcher EX over it and it's fast and stable. I've had no problems with mine.

View attachment 706197

Alternatively if you want something completely different to HTC Sense try MIUI XJ. I put it on my friends Desire the other day and was very impressed.

Search the Android Development section and have a look at the ROM's on there. There's something for everyone.

Good luck.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
With all due respect, recommending roms is a bit senseless, because it depends so much on personal preferences which rom is the perfect one. Anyway, I am pretty sure it's a good help for the op.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
@MatDrOID

Yeah I know that in the end it comes down to personal choice, but I was just giving a starting point.

When I first rooted I went onto the Development section, took one look at all of the different ROM's and thought "how the hell am I supposed to choose a good one?" It's fine once you've flashed a few and know which sort you prefer, but as a noob rooter it can seem a bit daunting.

Just thought because of the ease of use to flash and requirements GV would be a good place to start.

It was only a suggestion. I wasn't telling her to definately flash THIS ROM. I'm sure annaluba will flash what she wants to flash.

@annaluba

Good luck, and enjoy your new rooted Desire.

Hey Guy's,

Thank you both for your suggestions and input. I am VERY pleased with myself that I have got this far thanks to the original video tutorial and help from you all. Have looked at ROMS and it is difficult to decide which to go for, but probably Insertcoin because it has Sense and Gingerbread...is that correct?? Am going to leave the ROM bit till tomorrow though - brain has frazzled now!!

Hopefully all will go well for me...

Thanks again to all

Well, hello all!!

After a good nights sleep playing with phone this morning I am discovering a few problems. My phone has switched itself off a couple of times and I seem to be having a bit of an issue with Titanium Backup. I was just having a little look at the apps that were backed up and most had the icons to say all was successful so thats good, but if I do try and have a look at other options etc it seems to freeze and I have to turn phone off and uninstall Titanium for phone to work sensibly otherwise it seems to be very laggy and slow....

Also, a bit worried that I havent partitioned my card properly. I seem to have less internal space in my phone than I did before. I have 20.12 mb free out of 147.62 with only 17 apps stored to internal memory, those being:-

Handset - 6.3mb

Beautiful Widgets - 4.42mb

Market 3.54mb

Wheres My Droid - 2.56mb

Smart Keyboard Pro - 1.93mb

HTC Sync - 1.81mb

Apps Organiser - 1.71mb

Traffic Counter - 856kb

Animated Widget - 764kb

MemoWidget - 656kb

Quickpic - 612kb

Street View - 604kb

Calendar Pad Pro - 452kb

Countdown Widget - 396

Battery Watcher - 260kb

SMS GPS Enabler - 172kb

Callend Vibrate - 36kb

Blimey, sorry if too much info...lol....

Will all this be fixed when I flash insertcoin? Also, is it definite that I have to install a new radio with insertcoin? I keep reading how risky it is to flash a radio...

Am I being thick?? :o

Thank you in advance!! ;)

Og. I forgot to say sd card details on app2sd says total 2.66gb (I have 4 gb card) with 198.01 mb free.....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annaluba:
I think I may have exhausted my help fellows.....sorry!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
:) No we're still here...

I'm a bit of a noob myself so I can't answer all of your questions (not as techy as some of the people on here), but I'll see what I can do...

I see that you used GParted to partition your memory card. Don't worry about only having a 4gb card, it makes no difference. If you are in any doubt about whether your card is properly partitioned just save your sd card contents to your pc then re-partition. To see how much space you have on your memory card open up Titanium Backup, and at the bottom it'll tell you all of your memory stats. With a 4gb card and a 1gig ext4 partition you should be seeing about 2.8gb on your sd card - just saw you've got 2.66gb on the bottom of your post, that's fine.

But if in any doubt re-partition. (I had to re-partition after I flashed Leedroid and it messed up, not sure what happened or what went wrong, but re-partitioning worked).

Hmm... As for your problems with Titanium and your phone switching off by itself I'm not too sure. Maybe someone with a bit more knowledge could help you.

As far as I know you don't have to flash a new radio. I flashed a few different ROM's (including InsertCoin) and was just using the radio that I had before root. Didn't make any difference to me (I had 5.11.05.27). Since then I've now flashed to the newest radio (5.17.05.23) found here... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=687464

Haven't noticed any difference for better or worse.

If you do wanna flash a new radio, download the zip file to your phone and flash through like you would if you were flashing a new ROM.

My one piece of best advice is always do a nandroid backup and wipe your cache's before flashing anything.

Hope this helps... If not I'm sure one of the other guys will be able to help.
