Ok, if you are anything like me, you want detailed instructions, here you go...

For Any of these, if it asks you for SU permissions, click accept

First download RomManager.

Then load up RomManager and the first option should be flash clockworkmodrecovery, click it and wait for it to finish, then it will ask you if u wanna boot into recovery. Hit yes. If it doesn't, then just turn it off and go into recovery from engboot. REMEMBER, YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR TRACKPAD TO SELECT AND VOLUME UP AND DOWN TO SCROLL.

Once you find out that you are able to select and scroll, just pull out the battery. Then all your have to do is find an OS you like and download it. Put it on your SD card and go into rom manager. Scroll to install rom from SD card and go find your rom. When the little popup pops up, it will have 3 checks, you absolutely need to have the bottom two checked and check the top if you need to back up your current rom. Nandroid backup back up simply everything down to where you placed your widgets on the homescreens.

Day 1

thank you neidlinger and THEindian for your help.

I am currently running MikRunny very sweet but my phone seems kinda laggy. I ran Quadrant and scored 2001 Samsung tablet and Samsung Nexus were higher than me. what could i do to boost it up alittle?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasion2:
You really shouldn't base anything on quadrant scores...they matter very little. You could try Team Infernos smartdroid ROM or BlackICE for AOSP to see if its just the ROM you're running with lag.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
That score is fine for that rom. Don't base your rom decision on it's quadrant score.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Nsowon:
Hi,

I'm in China and have a genuine S5830. However, typical of foreign firmware, it's all designed and geared to Chinese.

What I want:

English apps and the phone recognized as English, not Chinese, as the default install language. (I have the English language option, but most apps assume I'm Chinese. Also, there's no Android Market in China.)

I'm guessing that my IP address is sometimes to blame, but I'd like an English firmware to reduce the problem. I'm hoping a full-blown English-market firmware will install more in English.

What I've tried:

Downloaded this file: S5830XWKS3_S5830XWKS2_S5830VIRKP1_HOME.tar.md5

from http://www.samfirmware.com/ as a UK 2.3.5 single-file install

Opened ODIN Odin3 v1.85 and followed the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

But it sticks on 'setupconnection'.

I've searched elsewhere and tried changing USB ports and re-checked the sequence; as well as being quick with the process.

The phone is always on "Downloading" but no progress bar.

Odin reports various COM numbers - highlighted yellow - depending on the USB ports I try.

But nothing happens. I can close ODIN, or just pull the USB and the phone is unharmed - nothing has happened. :confused:

Any ideas? Is there a better flash program now?

Will an English firmware solve the all-Chinese apps on the Samsung Apps and Android Market (when I get it)?

I plan to try a windows 7 32-bit machine tomorrow. Currently on Win7 64.

Thanks in advance for any help.

David.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] tossan:
A letter to newbies.

You have a s5830, so please stick to the guides here on XDA specially made for it, than everything should be fine.

=> [TUTORIAL] How to upgrade, root, flash ... by hubix

As you can see: The ODIN version 4.38 is the recommended one to flash Samsung stock roms.

There you can even watch the video how to accomplish the task.

Next you should read and try to understand this:

=> A Newbie Guide for your Galaxy Ace by EmoBoiix3

Those are pinned threads in their subforums. It's always a good starting point to read up this threads first. That's the reason, why they're stickies in the first place.

If you can't understand everything after the first time going through the guides, than things will be clearer on the second or third round. Try to google the informations you need more clarifications on. Maybe you can help other new members and add some missing or more clear instructions.

If you're at the end of your research and can't find any solution on your own, than other XDA members surely will help to solve the problem you've encountered by posting a new relevant thread.

^^
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Nsowon:
Sorry, I thought development was for developers, as in developing apps etc. for the android. I've flashed various bit of hardware over time (Still not an expert) and usually found the information in a rooting/modding forum.

I had already seen this, but it has massive bold lettering which seemed to suggest it didn't work. I did read through the thread, but found no new information and it was messier than the link in my first post that I had already found by searching this forum.

Yes. I'm fully aware. However, my search didn't find this page, it found the page in my first post. Google searches kept bringing me back to your forum, which is a wonderfully complex treasure trove of information.

Already did. Over 2 hours spent searching and your forum link in the first post was the best I found, and ODIN was mentioned in many forums. A search for ODIN on google gave me a forum that linked to the latest Odin as this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamacid/files/fb/flash/Odin3 v1.85.zip/download?use_mirror=tenet and as it was sourceforge, I assumed it was the latest.

I understand you get many new people on here who never search. Your forum is massive. I made the mistake of not looking specifically in "development" as you look like an app developer site. Developers get heavily involved in stuff I know nothing about and, as I said, I usually find firmware updates in a modding/rooting forum.

I'll look at the details here, which seems to have links to files and be exactly what I'm looking for. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1034145

However, the link http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=570045&d=1302939745 to the Odin multidownloader is only 257 bytes and doesn't work.

Please bear in mind I'm in China and although my proxy can get Facebook, Youtube and most other sites to work, we cannot use multiupload/megaupload on any browser with any proxy.

Thank you for your help. :)

David.

Edit: So far all links searching for Odin 4.38 are on multiupload.com and I cannot access them. Frustrating!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -SGA-:
did you get the cooper.ops file?

Just asking cuz you never mentioned it...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Nsowon:
Thanks SGA. I want to follow the instructions on the link Tossan gave (C. Flashing the newest firmware:), but I can't download Odin. For some reason it is <300 bytes in size; although reporting as a .rar file, nothing can open it.:confused:

The Odin I downloaded from sourcefourge (v1.85) is 417KB and opens/runs properly.

I have the firmware; checksum verified.

Where can I find the other files, not on mega/multiupload?

David.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -SGA-:
The Odin you want is 4.38. Searching "Odin Multi 4.38" on Google you should find it. It's 444kb in size, and often an rar file extension. You'll need cooper_v1.ops too.

I'd post a link but I'm on my phone, sorry...

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Nsowon:
Thanks. I must come across as a real noob!:D

The site is blocked by China, but the proxy gets through. I'll try the update when my wife returns with the phone tomorrow.

David.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] tossan:
If you've managed to download the rom from samfirmware.com, than you should also try to download Odin directly from there (-> Flashprograms / Flashguides).

You should report to hubix in his thread about the Odin file attachement problem, to give him a chance to correct it and other users to benefit from your discovery.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Nsowon:
Sorry, I couldn't download from there, I looked at the file ID and searched online; finally found it on Hotfile.

I'll let hubix know regards the files. Thanks for the suggestion. :)

The good news is it worked! My wife is very happy to be able to read English on her phone now. :D

Regards,

David.

Edit:

I learned I needed "Odin Multi Downloader v4.38" for the S5830, and as I had a one package install I had to:

1) On ODIN click the OPS button and load the Cooper_v1.0.ops file on it that I downloaded.

2) Click on the One Package button then select and load the Single S5830XWKS3_S5830XWKS2_S5830VIRKP1_HOME.tar.md5 file.

3) Click start and let it do it's magic.

Carrier: T-Mobil

Original firmware: Froyo (rooted)

Upgraded firmware: Gingerbread 2.3.6

Issue:

during attempted rooting of 2.3.6 using Odin 1.82 and sImage file under PDA, incurred failure during install.

phone was stuck with image of a phone and PC with ! in between.

got it out of that and now the phone is stuck in continous reboot loop.

I took the battery out and went into hard reboot mode. However, I CAN NOT restore factory settings because it will not acknowledge when I press home key and/or power key.

Please help!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanisleryan:
You must have used odin to upgrade to 2.3.6 so go back into download mode and reflash that. Then flash something like semaphore to root. Maybe a good idea to post what files you are flashing first.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renato68:
You must press Vol up+Home+Power for recovery or Vol Down+Home+Power for download
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xampy:
Can you enter to the download mode?

It happened to me one time, but not exactly how you tell it. While flashing with Odin, it stuck on the first step (something like factory, I don't remember), and I unplugged the phone and it was in a continuous loop with the first logo (Samsung Galaxy S I 9000 etc...). Then I entered to the download mode and reflashed again with Odin, then now was fine.

Sorry for my bad English.

try reflashing it again in odin with stock 2.3.6 firmware. reboot.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LowGasPrices:
Hi guys I have a HTC wildfire, and when I got it, it was locked to Orange (UK) and

thought I would root it, I followed a full guide here on XDA and I used HBoot x.2 to x.1 downgrade then rooted with revolutionary and it has successfully been rooted with ClockworkMod Recovery v.2.5.0.1 and with any rom I flash, it will say "NO service" requesting a sim unlock code at lockscreen unlock.

I REPEAT ORANGE (THE ORIGINAL CARRIER) does not give me a signal.

Does anyone know whats wrong?

Do I need a newer radio?

I went to some market stools with people that have the XTC clip to unlock phones and they needed to find out the original carrier, I told them 'Orange' they said they can't do it because every sim card they tried, they couldn't get a signal so they couldn't modify it.

Thank you.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phantom200580:
Try to Reflash the Radio.

Yeah, most probably going to need a radio reflash... check out the complete wildfire index (stickied on the wildfire development forum) to find a list of radios.. try them all one at a time, and one should work!

Good luck!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LowGasPrices:
Yeah, update: I flashed a Rom that came with a radio update but it was the same radio so I guess reflashing was the solution lol, thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] Exanimus:
My gf has a Wildfire S and she complains about the screen that it turns off during a call at first, (yes i know that it should do this) but then the screen turns on again and it results in that she accidentally hangs up or mutes the microphone. Anyone know about this problem?

Also there seems to be a problem with the internal memory:

she had a problem with this before she updated to latest stock ROM and also after.. When she updated the phone and removed all apps that she had DL'd she had about 20mb free. All apps had already been moved to SD and she had all pics, notification sounds, music, ringtones etc also on the SD.

Please does anyone know how to:

1. Fix the issue with the screen?

2. Fix more storage?

I would prefer to get these issues fixed without rooting since she still has warranty left on the device.

Thx!
[HTC Wildfire S] scott_doyland:
Hi, i know its obvious but have you tried clearing the cache for all apps via 'settings-sd and phone storage-make more space'.

Scott
[HTC Wildfire S] Exanimus:
Yes for most of them, and if i look at the amount of data that the apps use it makes no sense. There aren't many apps and they dont use much data at all.
[HTC Wildfire S] scott_doyland:
I guess you could factory reset as that would wipe everything and then you'd know for sure that an app hadnt gone screwy and wasnt clinging onto lots of cache without it reporting so.

I did read a thread where a logfile was filling rapidly on a few guys wildfire s and using all the space so I will see if I can find it again and I will post the link.

Scott
[HTC Wildfire S] Exanimus:
Yes thanks, thanks. That would be nice

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
When I bought my HTC Advantage 4 1/2 years ago there was no decent case for it anywhere - like the Note it has a large screen (5") and unlike the Note a very large body. I found Nutshell (a.k.a. Tough-as-Nuts) and their line of cases - built like tanks, literally with gun holster components including heavy leather and heavy-duty belt clips. We had a long discussion about it here, including pics http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=344605 . It ended up being the only case most XDA members bought.

Fast forward to today, now that I have my Note on pre-order my first stop was to check out the Nutshell offering for the Note. This is the one I found:

http://tuff-as-nuts.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-belt-case.aspx

I also happened to find an old post offering a discount, which I didn't know about when I ordered my other case. This offer may not even be valid:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=259275

I haven't ordered the case yet, I want to see how well the Note fits into my Advantage case first - it will fit the height and width but the Advantage case may be too roomy for the thickness since it is twice as thick as the Note. If I do order one I'll report back here with pics and a fresh review.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
Edited 4/12. Case arrived today, ordered on March 26th (I used the "tuff02" 10% discount code mentioned below). Just as well-built as my old case, even stronger because they now build in something flat and hard into the back wall. By putting the phone into the case with the screen facing inward the screen will be fully protected. I ordered the pen loop option this time. I always carried one inside my last case but that phone was so thick there was room next to it. As I figured, there isn't enough room for a pen next to the Note - too thin. I'm not complaining.

In the last picture you can see a bump under the leather below the metal clip. That, along with the lower lip of the clip, keeps it on your belt no matter what you do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ImYourMacDaddy:
I'm still looking for a case for mine and came across your post; thank you for sharing. I'm still gonna do some more looking, but this one is now on my list as a possibility (that is if they take them off hold and actually start making them).

FYI...

I tried the coupon code "tuff01" in the thread you linked to and it showed up 5% savings. For the heck of it I tried punching in "tuff02" and it shows 10% savings. :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kanate:
This case is awesome. I also got one for my MDA, still looks like new.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
Quick update, I noticed they removed their placeholder page for the Note case (the 2nd link in my 1st post above). I've emailed them to find out which of their cases would be best. I looked at this chart to match up to the Note's specs (146.85 x 82.95 x 9.65mm):

http://tuff-as-nuts.com/beltcasessizetable.aspx

At first glance their case #215 would work - it appears to be the right length and width, but it has twice the depth as it should for the Note so it would flop around. Then I noticed case 270 right above it is the very one I already have for my Advantage and I already know that case is the right height, but too wide and again way too much depth. So that would mean 215 would be too long! I'm not spending $60 and waiting 2 weeks to find out it won't hold the phone securely. If I hear back from them I'll report back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Brau0303:
I am currently using a NutShell case I got as a freebee back at one of the PPC expos it is a very good fit (I do have the Samsung flip cover on it). The design is their basic case with the notched corners and no clip (leather slip panel the belt goes thru)
