[Motorola Droid Bionic] technomaje:
I need some help please. I seem to be in a pickle, though I’m not bricked. (At least, not yet.) So I rooted my phone last night, using [GUIDE][NOOB]Step-By-Step Instructions for New Stock Bionic Owners. Everything went great, and I got root. I followed the guide to get the .901 update, which went fine. Tried the ROM suggested, and liked it. Thought I would try Eclipse v2.1. I installed it, but I like Visual Voicemail, so I decided to use my Nandroid that I did right after root and revert back. Here is where problems started.

After the restore, it wouldn’t boot. Passed the Moto Dual Core logo and hung up. Allowed 10 minutes and after nothing, I flashed back to the backup I made after installing Eclipse. It booted fine. So I decided to go back to stock rom, debloat it how I like it and just run the debloated stock. Here is where problems started. I can’t find a flashable copy of the stock. Just a couple of guides on using RSD Lite. This is for Bricked Bionic’s, but I decided to try it, since one of the guides said it works to get back to OTA.

Downloaded the RSD Lite and the full system file to flash. I put my phone into the mode to flash (Power + Volume Down), unpacked the file with RSD Lite and tried to flash. Got an error.

Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. 1/15 flash cdt.bin"cdt.bin"-> Phone returned FAIL.; phone connected.

Now, when I reboot my phone, it goes back to the Fasboot Flash Mode screen saing (Failed). I can boot into recover (Volume Up + Volume Down + Power) and do a Normal Boot, and it boots fine.

I tried a Factory Reset, and it just reset’s on Eclipse v2.1.

I want to simply get back to stock. Rooted or unrooted, I don’t care. I’ll reroot if I need to.

I also tried to download the STOCK Deodexed files. The links are dead. Figured if I went back to one of those stock images, I could unroot and see if everything was ok.

Suggestions?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ms0chez:
Hmm..I think your mistake was in safeboot when you tried to go back to original back up you were suppose to toggle safe system so that it would be disabled. From there you would've been able to restore your original system and boot up just fine. It was mentioned in the guide through some posts.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] technomaje:
So I need to turn Safe Mode off in SafeStrap and flash? I had thought about that, but I was worried about totally bricking the phone. I'm pulling SafeBoot now, and will try the flash.

EDIT...

SafeMode is off, and rebooted. I'm back to .875 Stock Rooted. So far, so good.

I can either flash from here (haven't tried yet) or stay here. When I boot, I'm still booting into Fastbook with (Flash Failure). Any way to get that off, other than flashing back to stock and locked through RSD Lite?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tucknology:
Your mistake was trying to restore from the un safe system. You can toggle safe system and you'll be ok. Or, reinstall a ROM to your safe system.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tucknology:
To clarify: don't flash a ROM with safe system disabled. toggle back to safe mode, and then pickup my directions from the format /system step. You can try another ROM no problem then.

I bet you can find the visual voicemail APK and add it whichever ROM. Copy paste into system/app directory.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] technomaje:
Thanks. I'm used to flashing with the Thunderbolt and the XOOM. Not used to safestrap, just normal CWM.

Any idea how to stop the phone from booting into Fastboot? Having to do it the long way still. I'd be happy staying this way, if I can get that resolved.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Phantastik:
Actually the problem was you tried to restore to a backup of a pre .901 system which has different radios which flashing doesn't like.

As for the flash failure, get the fxz files and put them in a folder with adb and fastboot. Then run this command in a prompt:

fastboot flash device_tree.bin

When you get a flash failure you just need to flash something to fix it; flashing device_tree.bin won't affect anything.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] technomaje:
Its one solid file with a weird extension. Is there a way to unpack it? I am out right now and don't know the extension by heart.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Phantastik:
Its a zip, just extract it
[Motorola Droid Bionic] technomaje:
Now, I'm scratching my head. (Again) I've worked with ADB with my Xoom, so I'm not a noob at that part. ADB doesn't see my phone. My computer does, and the phone know's it's plugged in. However when I try to flash the file, it can't find the device. I checked "adb devices" and it's not on the list.

So I decided to go ahead and flash completely back to stock with RSD Lite. Still get's the same error message. (I did check the MD5 SUM on the file. It's correct.) Safe Mode is off in Safestrap. Here is what the Fastboot screen looks like on my phone.

AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)

0A.61

Battery OK

OK to Program

Transfer Mode:

USB Connected

Since I've not seen the Fastboot screen on this phone until this started, I don't know if the (S) has meaning. Like, it thinks the phone's still in SafeMode?

I noticed one of the options in safestrap is to disable safestrap. Thought about trying that, but.... Unsure.

Just find that what's yr phone model no is ?

Go to setting-about phone see yr model no.....

Whether it is s5830 or s5830i ???

Now this two model are different.

So stock ROM of s5830i will not work on s5830.

Odin will be crashed when you try to install s5830i on s5830...

So use only those ROMa which are for s5830 any???

Hello mods

A kind proposal to all the mods here

As you guys know the galaxy ace was one of the best selling android mobiles but unfortunately the older ace is available only in few shops.They are stopping production of the old ace and we now have the s5830i which has a completely different hardware...

There are more and more users day by day who have bought this phone and waiting for custom roms,mods,support,help etc...

The sub-forum for ace would be cluttered with all our device requests..and to get the elite devs working on our device..we need a separate sub-forum.So in kind regard of us ace s5830i users..Please give us a sub-forum:)

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] js2892:
I see there's a lot of confusion with model, i'm gonna try to make it clearer

S5830 AND S530I ARE DIFFERENT AT VARIOUS LEVELS

SPECIAL NOTE: ROMS of S5830 WILL NOT WORK WITH S5830I UNDER ANY CONDITION

GENERAL PURPOSE USAGE

The phones are same in design and for "non-developer" general daily use there is not much difference except for newer bluetooth version!:o

GAMES

S5830 has capacity to play certain ARMV7 games like Temple Run etc because harware acceleration is provided by ROMs(courtesy of CM) as they have openly available GPU sources and libraries unlike in case of S5830I where such sources are not available however certain games can made playable via chainfire 3d. Here' the tutorial:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2063993:good:

CYANOGENMOD

CM for S5830I is not available for daily use. CM7 is under development but is under alpha stage till now and is also facing lot of problems due to kernel, hardware libs incompatibility etc.:(

ROMS FOR S5830I

Lots of ROMs are now available for S5830I. Just head to android development section and start flashing:good:

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT

The developers of GALAXY Y AND ACE-I are now in talks with Broadcom for release of drivers and broadcom have given them binaries for testing. So let's hope one day we will also see the light of CM!:fingers-crossed:

Another note: Galaxy Y S5360 has same hardware as S5830I so most of the ROMs of S5360 will work on S5830I but most probably your phone dilaer(phone.apk) will crash, such situation can solved by using LCD modder app and changing LCD density to 160. However i recommend use of ROMs made for S5830I. Otherwise you can help the developer of the original rom to port the rom to your device(Eg. JellyBlast V3)

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
When broadcom releases the gpu drivers for ace-i ,it would bring the ultimate ness of galaxy grand .Its would be more powerful than ace because ace-i has got VIDEOCORE -4 gpu , the one used in galaxy grand . it is really very very surprising that samsung has packed the best GPU out there , in this little monster (5830i ) . The Only bad news is ace-i tilln't didn't got drivers from broadcom (but they would release it in the coming days as a petition has been filed ) this GPU has a capability to scale upto 40 fps - 60 fps and 720p-1080p .

THIS SHOWS THAT ACE-i (5830i ) HAS WON OVER ACE aka ASS (5830)

I don't play any games much and I disable everything that's recommended to save battery life but still 5 hours. I have the newest firmware and I'm currently on rcmix with the kernel that already is loaded. I'm getting roughly about 7 hours with heavy usage. I set the governor to 192- 972 conservative.

I don't mind sharing my experiences. I've tried AOKP milestone 6, CM10 stable, PACman v18 AIO, and I'm Bout to try slimbean. Never flashed any custom kernels or radios (just ROMs and their baked in goodies). As far as AOKP goes, probably my favorite setup, UI, and functionality, but the damn thing lost mobile data after 24 hours and I had to restore a CM backup to get data back. As far as CM10 goes I love it a lot, in fact its worked the best, and my only complaint is the CRT off animation only working every 6th time (unless WiFi is on). Otherwise its been the most reliable and the most persistent on my phone. Lastly pacman v18 was pretty cool, like the integration of the different ROMs, but sometimes settings seemed to clash, and finding some settings were difficult (multiple ROM control menus) but it worked really well. Only problem I had was installing tweak box to get my CRT. That caused a never ending boot ani. Back to CM10 it was lol. Would love to hear some stories on kernels and radios, those intimidate me more than flashing ROMs. Oh BTW using twrp2 for recovery
