Well but one file firmwares can be flashed with Odin 3.06

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] samersh72:
Yes, if it is just a one part of firmware like only PDA.

For s5830i and s5360 and some other devices, the official firmware provided by Samsung is not flashed as one package, it must be splitted first then flashing any part you need :thumbup:

Nope. Last months nearly all over countries get a firmware update for Ace-i. Besides ICS no firmware has 2.3.7!!! So waiting for Samsung to release a Jelly Bean update dont seem possible...

Rooting does not work

Hey guys,

my sis has this S5830i Phone (some girly version called "le fleur") with its terribly low internal memory of 150MB. She installed like 3 or 4 apps and the memory was already full.

Since her phone wasn't rooted, she couldn't transfer her apps to the SD card.

So this is when I thought I'd look for a way to root her phone (seriously, that phone is unusable with 150MB of internal memory).

I found this tutorial and did those steps. Installed update.zip successfully and rebooted the device. For whatever reason it is still not rooted. And Superuser is not installed.

Does anyone of you guys know why? I've removed two of her apps so there was at least 30MB free for the Superuser-app :confused:

Oh yeah, since it's not rooted yet, she's stuck on 2.3.6.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] Hitesh2626:
Do check wether the Root.zip is downloaded correctly
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] ehnemehnemu:
I used the "update.zip" from the OP.

Also I enabled USB Debugging and Installing apps from unknown sources (= non-store .apk's).

It seems to have downloaded correctly, I can open the archive and nothing seems broken.

Can someone provide me a correct checksum so I can be sure?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] purgy:
Keep trying, it took about 4 attempts for me before it flashed correctly.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] -Anderson-:
First,install clockworkmod Recovery.

Next,flash the update.zip by cwm after mounting /system.Hopefully,it should work :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] Powerhouse:
There might be many Reasons for this problem ..

1)First of all Re-download the "update.zip" from OP .. (Make sure it aint a bad download)

2)Place the "update.zip" file in SD card ..(but dont place in any folder of sd card)

3)switch off your phone

4) Press power button+Volume up button + menu button all at a time.

5)Now you'll be seeing the Recovery mode .

6)Select second option (apply update from sd card)

7)choose the update.zip file by scrolling with Volume up/down button .. (press menu button to select)

8)It will install

9)select the first option "Reboot system now" ..

10)Now you will be seeing the Superuser app ..

In case you still face any problem then Ask again :) :beer:

Happy Rooting ..

Samsung's evil La Fleur Edition

Hey guys,

thanks for your replies, in the meantime I've also done a little research and probably found what caused the problems:

This version called S5830i La Fleur apparently has an annoying, pre-installed system app called ThinkFree Office, I read about it in another forum! For whatever reason, it prevents the update.zip/ROOT to work.

So to all other La Fleur users here's the little how-to:

- download the file universal_gb_remove_thinkfreeoffice.zip I've attached below

- place it in the root directory of your SD card

- go into recovery mode

- select and install universal_gb_remove_thinkfreeoffice.zip and reboot your phone

- check if the app is removed

If it's removed, you can now go in recovery mode again and install the update.zip and get ROOT access plus the SuperUser app :laugh:

Afterwards I worked my way through a Link2SD tutorial and added a second partition on the SD card. No more internal memory issues :good:

If your device has Root Permission then you can do it with RAM EXPANDER. It is paid so you can download it from 4shared.com ....

and you can increase ur internal memory with LINK2SD by partitioning ur SD Card

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] ickyyy:
There are no custom ROMs for s5830i.Instaling a ROM for s5830 on s5830i will brick your phone and cause some damage so better don't try to do it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] TomasValenta:
It's working fine, thank you ;) Tested with TB and ES File Explorer.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] kishary:
My experience!!

I semi-bricked my S5830i yesterday by installing the wrong recovery file (clockworkmodace). I googled extensively on the error (E: failed to mount/system), tried flasing trough odin 1.85 (with .pit and without), tried flashing through CWM recovery (attached in this thread). Finally and gave up and went to the service centre. They said that it's a normal thing (i said that my phone hanged while listening to music and it would not restart - was stuck at the samsung logo). Got the phone installed with GB 2.3.6. Used an updated version on the root and unroot files (thats what the post said - attached).
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] ickyyy:
Usually the problem with stucking at the samsung logo is fixed by flashing a PDA part of a firmware with Odin.A few friends of mine had their phone bricked exactly the same way and they flash PDA and it's working fine.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] Mickimo:
Odin fails to flash.

Hi to all and thanks for your support.

I´ve managed to get a rooted and ClockworkModed GT-S5830i following your guide, but I´m getting no success with a couple of Stock ROMs released in Samfirmware (Bulgarian and Russian ones).

Odin3 v1.85 detects my device but this is the system log:

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004> Initialzation..

<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/004> BcmCP.img

<ID:0/004>

<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I only have the .tar.md5 file, so I tried to flash it from PDA checkbox. There are also checked AutoReboot and F.ResetTime.

Anyone knows how to solve this issue?.

Kind regards.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] ickyyy:
I haven't found a solution for this yet.I think we need a .pit file but it don't exist for our phones yet.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] kishary:
I've had the same problem (mine is the India stock rom).. same error. I tried some pit files as well, but of no use. Had read it some place that there could be a problem with the firmware hosted in hotfile by sammobile.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] HumansAreTasty:
I had the same problem with you. I semi-bricked my phone while trying to install clockworkmod before rooting. My phone was stuck at the Samsung logo. After a veery long search I found out that "S5830iXXKL1_S5830iXXKK5_OXEKK4" stock rom (it's in multi-language) is working with Odin 1.85. (It includes separate files rather than only one .tar.md5 file) Then I flashed this and bam! The phone is good as new. :)

Sorry if I'm wrong about anything. I'm still a newbie about all these Android stuff.

why is it doing that, what am done wrong, do I need to do any wip reset etc?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] vasigrMTB:
The unbrick doesn't work, at least to me, with pda.tar you upload I did unbrick

as the instruction and the package given from android-hilfe bricked-5830i-recovery (it's not work with kies)

the problem with the this package is that there work only this combination of four files. In the place of pda in odin I putted a last firmware but isn't work, none of the 2012works.

where can I found a multilanguase package with the last firmware that works with kies.

(The previous before I did brick was gingerbread.xxla2, dpi@dell150#1...I can't find it...my phone is vodafone-greece)

The instruction for root etc. works without problem, thanks for that.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] vasigrMTB:
At last the problem solved, my phone is as it was at the beginning with it's manifacture status with pda.tar , what I did was I bricked it and then I used it...now it works normally :o:o

Network unlock & custom bin reset

Hello ACErs,

I'm a so called 'developer' (well I'm not really) recently working for Galaxy Y

I successfully find out the method of unlocking the network lock, and resetting the custom binary download counter for the GT-S536x line

According my experience, S5830i file system structure is quite similar to SGY, we might use the same method for S5830i

If anyone is interested in, and enough techie please send me the dump of the /bin/bml15 partition

I warn you, the partition might contain your IMEI (0x080000 on SGY) and some other device specific unique identifier such MAC addresses, etc.

Well, I'm not an IMEI collector, if you're paranoic about it, you may remove it from the dump!

So if you're interested please make a dump by:

ADB shell
su (yes, root required)
cat /dev/bml15 >/sdcard/bml15.img # Be-eM-eL-one-five
exit
exit

notice your custom bin counter! (is there custom kernel?)

Then contact me via PM about sending the file!

(You can check my reference works @ my signature ... S5830i'ers might interested in SplitFUS...!)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development] Rafael.Baugis:
Hi Doky37
