I'm not as sure as you...

I flash my Motorola Atrix once a week because of new versions of CM10. I did the same with CM9 and CM7.

At least i'm sure to have flashed more than one hundred time !

Why should it be different for Samsung phones ?

Known bug?

There is an app "Galaxy Toolbox" on the market from Doky to set the counter to zero.

S5830i is supported, phone must be rooted.

I Flashed my S5830i multiple times with stock and custom ROMS and to find out/reset my custom binary counter i downloaded the app Galaxy Tool Box. However when i go into device info i see the counter is already set to 0, without my manual selection of "Custom Binary Counter Reset". Can any one plz explain this? Isn't this counter suppose to be increased when i flashed my phone multiple times? Or as soon as i installed this app, it automatically set my counters to 0?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] GermainZ:
That counter always displays 0.

The counter still works tho.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] Doky73:
The counter will increase in case only, when you flash custom KERNEL (modified boot.img) via Odin. Any other kind of flashing will not increase the counter.

And there's no limit, while I've developed the Toolbox app, I set my counter to some-millions :)

Rooting without bricking!

Hi I'm completely new to Androids as this is the first time I've owned one although I am fairly comfortable with the Linux command line. I would like to root my phone but obviously do not want to brick it, like several other people appear to have unfortunately done on this thread.

So basically could somebody please give me an idea of the actual level of risk involved in rooting provided that I follow the instructions exactly as described on the first page of this thread. I do have the correct model, S5830i, running on Android 2.3.6.

If the phone does brick with this method is it likely to be reversible?

Would trying to root it manually via command line be a safer option provided I understand the commands?

My SD card is currently formatted in FAT32, being overcautious here, will this pose any problems (its being recognized fine by the phone)? Presumably the phone is native to ext3/ext4?

I am not looking for any guarantees here just trying to gauge the actual true level of risk involved, any help appreciated.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] GermainZ:
It's almost impossible to brick your phone without being able to easily restore using ODIN. Unless you flash another phone's ROM.

FAT32 is how SD cards are usually formatted, and the phone reads it fine. You can then create an extra partition (ext3/4) to move apps to the SD using 3rd party apps (or a script), but that is optional, if your phone's memory isn't enough.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] k4ileb:
hi

i have s5839i . the new one. and there arent too many to search for in this forum.

anyways i bricked my device and i was able to flash a STOCK firmware for s5839i and then i managed to flash some s5830i roms like simplicity v1 and retribution v4

so i guessed that if i can flash custom s5830i's roms i could flash a STOCK 5830i to have the correct baseband (XXLA2) etc.

i tried odin 1.84 and 1.85

with totoro and cooperve .pit and a stock rom xxla2.

it failed.

then i flashed with 1.85 totoro.pit a stock s5839i and worked just fine.

my baseband is BULC1 i guess i can't flash s5830i's stock roms right ?

or u have to suggest something ?

Odin's "setup connection" problem solved

:victory:

Hello everyone,

I just want to give an advise for thos who, like me, have struggled with Odin to make it go past the "Setup Connection" status.

I have a Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i (codenamed cooperve) and based on everything I read, also works for models 5830m and 5830c.

First of all, Odin 4.38 won't recognize this model by any means. You have to work with Odin 1.87 (this is the one that I used).

Put your phone in Download Mode (or Odin Mode; two names for the same thing). I didn't have to use none of those tricks about first plugging the phone whitout battery to the PC and then inserting the battery.

Open Odin (start it as administrator to be sure), and select the .pit file, and the ROM file(s) (I used a ROM that had separate files for PDA, PHONE, BOOT and CSC).

When your phone get recognized by Odin (first rectangle turns yellow) click start.

HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART:

If Odin gets stuck in "Setup Connection...", THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE USB PORTS YOU'RE USING. Some people say It's because USB 2.0 capable ports are needed, and I was definitely sure that mine were... but it turns out that they're not...

Try in another port in your PC, or another PC. Don't hesitate doing so, like I did. Try different PC's, the newer they are, the more probable will it be that they have the propper USB ports required.

hope this helps somebody else.

I bricked my Ace first day lmao.. i flashed wrong CWM.

the infornation in your post brought it back to life :D

Thanks again.

TO ALL WITH BLACK SCREEN DOWNLOAD MODE.

I also had no download mode (black screen)

I did 3-button combo and got black screen with backlight no text or icons,

this kind of had me freaking out, I though that was it broken but after few more attemps at 3-butron combo with no difference in the on-screen appearance I just connected usb as normal, ran odin 1.85 as admin and odin detected my Ace straight away.

I used the PDA in ickyyy's first ppst and voila 53 secs later the flash was succesful. my phone has worked perfectly since and I have flashed customs roms and reflashed stock fiirmware with no problems at all

UPDATE - AFTER FLASHING LATEST FIRMWARE FROM SAMMOBILE I NO LONGER HAVE BLACK SCREEN DOWNLOAD MODE !! GETTING YOUR DEVICE CONNECTED MAY VE TRICKY BUT DONT GIVE UP.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] mpoufos:

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] GermainZ:
This thread if for the S5830I.

Your post contradicts itself, but I guess you flashed a S5830I image on a S5830 phone. If that's the case, I'm afraid you hard bricked it. Can you boot your phone in any mode at all?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] dehackers:
today i got cheers with my SGAi return, but after several mod made i brick stuck at (samsung logo) the device :p, now trying to reflash back... but when i run odin 1.84 n plug in the phone (odin mode) seems the odin not detect my device(at the top we can see big box but when the device connect the box not been prompt color or indicating the device was connected), Then I to enter bootloader/pda/phone/csc message n tick at [auto reboot & F.Reset Time] only which i ignore/untick the [repartition & Flash lock], the message from odin is = (all threads complete. succeed 0/failed0)

Im using win7 proffesional

So question here, where did I go wrong?

haha, i feels like im kinda noob here...
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] saeed14i:
Odin must show yellow colored indication of phone detected on a com before u can flash anything. Try downloading n installing samsung usb drivers from sammobile. Also try shuting down the phone n again boot in download mode. Also try different usb ports of ur pc. U should run odin with 'run as administrator' coz u r on win 7

Hey you all

Because ROM filename are complicated ( in my opinion), can someone please explain what does XXLA... or BUL02... mean ?

How can i understand which firmware is more recent than anotherone ?

Is it possible to flash what is usually called "radio" file ( i think it is base band ) ?

Thanks for explanations.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] saeed14i:
Dial *#1234# from your phone to find out information about your phone version (PDA & PHONE)

. This information is typically helpful to you when you want to choose a stock firmware, obtainable from sammobile website's firmware section. You'll have to free signup to download your stock firmware. Once you are done signing up, search for GT-S5830i in firmware search. You'll find a ton of stock roms for your device typically in order of latest release on top & with regions defined. HOWEVER, I personally have never bothered about reigons (weather its XXLA or XXLH2, as long as you

downloaded and flashed the rom for exactly your device model, you are good to go

). Also in case of S-5830i you'll have to convert that "single file" stock firmware to "multipackage firmware" which u can learn from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1551156 or do the easy thing and follow this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1822109. And yes, i think you can flash only the baseband if you want by flashing the MODEM file of your multipackage stock firmware via odin.

Hope i was helpful :)

---------- Post added at 03:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 AM ----------

Shut down your phone, press volup+voldown+power button (Downloading/Odin mode). While your phone is booting, and if you successfully see "downloading" written in yellow font color on your phone screen, then there is hope. In that case connect your phone to pc.

In odin flash the stock firmware for EXACTLY your phone model

. Whether If its GT-S5830 or GT-S5830i, in both cases the stock or custom ROMS & Firmwares are different. If you already have flashed the wrong firmware and you can't go in downloading mode, give one last shot to another method to get into downloading mode sometimes: Take out the battery and while keep pressing volup+voldown+powerbutton, plug in the battery. In a couple of tries you should succefully boot into the downloading mode. In case of failure, claim your phone in warrenty and if not applicable, try usb JIG or JTAG method which is the last draw. Hope something helps

previously i brick my device what i do is simple.. 1st install samsung driver (ur PC), then shut down the device also pull out the battery, after that download odin V1.84 without PIT.Open ur odin (do nothing for a momment).. Done shutting down ur device then plug via USB, if the driver not proper install the odin will reconize ur device if the driver was proper install, supposly odin will reconize the device by indicate the yellow box at top of the odin boxes..... then HAPPY to FLASH...

I've tried #1234# and received an error message " connexion problem or invalid MMI code" but if i check in system properties, baseband version is S5839iBVLC2.

Can someone please upload a last baseband ( modem file) ? because i dont' have any Linux PC to use the utility program you suggested.

My phone actually runs a "Gingerbred.XXLA2 deodexed by Rajrocks" ROM version.

Running original or this ROM, the phone randomly looses signal; either i can't make calls or calls are interrupted.

Firmware Update Required

I rooted my phone as per the instructions at the beginning of this thread. I'm now getting a notification coming up saying (OTA) "Firmware update required", then offering me to download it or allowing me to postpone the notification for a set amount of time.

What is the best thing to do,

a) Use OTA survival mode in Superuser app?

b) Unroot the phone, update firmware, root again (I'm using links2sd with several apps linked to sd card by the way)

c) Just plough ahead and see if the update works (probably not)

d) Keep postponing the update (preferably not so long as I can get/keep root after the update)

I'd rather not flash the firmware myself unless I don't have any choice.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] makeyourself:
I am no expert here when it comes to Androids but md5's are for checking data integrity. So it what it is basically saying is that the backup that is now on your SD card is not exactly the same as the one that was originally made, i.e. it has changed in some way, possibly through corruption or possibly some other way.

Check your SD card or try it on a spare one if you have one, try a repeat backup maybe if the card's OK, other than that not sure of the cause.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] Shankay:
If he made the change in the backup and he is sure of what he did. You can find in the forum a post for fixing MD5 sum, there are three ways if im not wrong. But use this if YOU ARE COMPLETLY SURE OF WHAT YOU DID if not start from scratch.
