[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omocho:
Yeeeah apparently not the same as a generic S5830.

After flashing a S5830 rom, my phone would boot, show the samsung logo, then quickly fade to a white screen.

I restored using a backup, and now my phone simply hangs on the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830D logo screen, and does nothing else.

Well then. I guess my question becomes...

how do I fix my phone? lol

Restoring the backup doesn't do much.

EDIT:

Used Odin with Cooper_v1.0.ops and a .tar.md5 to flash it back to stock/base/whatever.

Works now...neeever trying to flash to a rom again. I'll stick to keeping it rooted and that's it...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rees397:
Anyone know how to flash it using Ubuntu and download mode?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgo51:
Would you please post that .tar.md5 for S5830D ...PLEASE

Hello !

There are others of us in that same situation, would be great if you'd post that S5830D "ODIN" file (...tar.md5) ! ;) :D :o :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RetroSA:
I'd like some input on whether this is confirmed a different hardware model or if the OP just had a bad flash, missed step, etc.

I've got a S5830D model successfully rooted, carrier unlocked, with CWM installed but leery of going any further after seeing this.

Any input is appreciated

Hi.. I also have galaxy ace gt-s5830d but i dont know how root it i use differnt update.zip for galaxy ace bot it akwways show installing aborted..

One more noob. Question can u give me a full instraction how to tooy galaxy ace gt-s5830d ang can u give me a correct update zip for my mobile.. Tnx:):)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silentbob999:
Basic guide for root/unlock, etc.

Most important. You need that specific version of Odin and this ops in case of problem:

cooper_v1.0.ops - direct link

Odin-Multi-Downloader-v4.38.exe - direct link

Those link wont be live forever. That phone is not very popular so keep a copy on you pc, dropbox, etc...

Reference only : Odin Multi Downloader with pit and ops files (List of compatible version / phone)

Keep a stock image for you phone somewhere just in case that you want or need to go back stock.

GT-S5830D_TLS_S5830DTLKI4_S5830DTLSKI4_S5830DTLKI4 - S5830D - Koodo / Telus Stock image (pwd is "sampro.pl" if I remember right, or "samfirmware.com")

To root this is working perfectly :

SuperOneClick 2.3.3 - direct link

Then you absolutly need to replace your recovery 3E. that recovery is the reason why everything you flash abort. use this :

Clock Work Mod Recovery v5.0.2.6 Flashable via Odin

Unlock guide (not needed except if you want to change carrier):

Read and fallow those instruction : [TUTORIAL] Unlock Samsung [GT-S5570 / i5500 / Galaxy Ace] , no fla fla, fast and easy.

About compatibility with S5830D and S5830 rom.

I tried those rom recently on a S5830D without any issue:

[ROM] CM7.2-DEMOCRACY FINAL EDITION [22.10.12] [FireKernel OC]

[ROM][DEV] CM9.1 Android 4.0.4 [Update: 26.09.2012]

[[ROM] AOKP-M6 ( Milestone 6 ) [15/9/12] [NimsKernel v.2.1]

I was not able to boot on [ROM] CM7-APOCALYPSE-FINAL [09.07.12] [FireKernel OC] , even if I fallow those instruction, but was not able to boot on stock DTLKI4 neither, so this was probably an issue with my phone (sdcard partionning, init.d.. idk), should normally work too like any other rom...

EDIT : I FORGET DROIDACE & S3 EVOLUTION, 2 rom that worked perfectly on s5830d

Hi tnx for help.. Do u mean in using cmw it shoul connected in my phone.. Im very noob in rooting, hacking ect. My galaxy ace..

If i use Supper 1 click .. Do i have 100% chance to root my device...

Btw tnx 4 reply
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silentbob999:
First, you need to know what is your objective, what you want.

The best thing will probably be to limit yourself to root only. SuperOneClick will do the job, I use that exact same version to root my sgs and the sga of my girlfriend so it should work fine for you to. There a lot of website that explain step by step how to use it. Not that "one click" is hard. But you need all driver on your pc.

CWM is a custom recovery. It's good to have if you want to be able to flash custom rom or kernel because the stock recovery 3E will always give error and no results. It's why you need Odin to replace it. I used the cwm I link for the sga and it was pretty straight forward. But use it on a gt-S5830 ONLY. I see that you also have a GT-S5360, don't use that recovery on this. Usually the recovery is include in kernel, on sgs each kernel have its own custom recovery and most of them are provided in zip(to flash from recovery) or tar(to flash from odin), which make everything very simple. But I didn't see equivalent on sga yet (but I am new to the ace so that doesn't mean that it's not the same)

I will suggest you to start by only root your device, that gives you the opportunity to use many really cool applications. Get yourself familiar with a good backup software. Then after few weeks /months if you feel comfortable you can go further.

Replacing recovery, kernel and rom can be dangerous. You better be sure to know in which boat you go into.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silentbob999:
ok, I think you dont need to flash cwm, just find a pc where you can run superoneclick and your phone should be root. Its all you need for link2sd to work.

You cannot root directly from the recovery 3E, that recovery have a weird signature check that give error on any signed zip I tried (at least its what I have experiment with it). Its why you actually need to do at least 1 step from a pc. But you dont actually need to replace the recovery for what you want, just root it with superoneclick or another method.

I dont have a lot of experience myself with the Ace, so maybe there some other method out there but I dont know them. And my i9000 had the same recovery when I had it and it give my a lot of trouble. superoneclick and a woking odin open all the door without trouble...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcdst:
Hi

Thanks for your post...

Any of this rom you posted for the S5830D are Multi-Language?, because the owner need the phone in Spanish.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silentbob999:
I don’t remember for sure. But I can tell you that the rom I currently using have Spanish in the language list:

[Rom][Official CM7 based]Nitrogen [Android UnChained][PSN FireKernel MemMod V3]

This rom have many requirement regarding sd-card partitioning and I would not necessarily recommend it if you not willing to be in a try/fail situation. But I have to say that it’s my favorite over all rom I tried on the Ace.

Also, my opinion had change a little bit since the moment I write this post.

I write what it is bellow this red portion before and it does not fit with my previous statement.

The impression I have that my phone is a lemon is maybe a sign that there some small incompatibility between S5830 and S5830D.

Also the comment about data backup is probably not relevant if it is a “friend” phone and not yours.

The Ace is the phone of my girlfriend and even after all those month it’s still me that using it because I did not find a satisfactory solution.

So this being said, feel free to build your own opinion, experiment some rom or keep your phone like it his stock

I did not find a single rom (not even stock or stock based) that don’t bug completely after some time on the Ace. My Ace is a lemon, it needs factory reset or re-installation once in a while... The Nitrogen rom is the one that work the best on MY phone.

One thing I would add to my previous post is: Don’t rely on CWM as a backup solution. Especially if you are changing of rom. Use a software to backup your app, data, sms, call, etc… Titanium Backup Pro is legendary and it’s working perfectly but there are many other alternative.

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] MostlyCarbon:
Hey there!

First post here but I've lurked a ton. Love the forums and the software! Brilliant!

I've recently rooted and upgraded my i5500, love this cheap little phone. First I just upgraded with Samsungs updated ROM. Then went to CM7. Then all around :D. Then settled on CM7.

I Tried the ICS in this thread:

[Development] ICS/CM9 for Galaxy 5 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1462202

I realize it's a dev. version but it does say the wifi is working. I was unable to connect via WiFi. It reported a low low low signal even though I was right next to the transmitter. Has anyone else tried out ICS on their i5500? How was it?

I realize I prob should have posted in the thread I mentioned but as I've not yet posted 10 times.. I can't yet :o

Thanks!

I think you should even try asking for support at the MadTeam forum original post of the port.. thee you could always find developers of the port.. here the link
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] srtjko:
In my opinion, every CyanogenMod for Galaxy 5 has terrible WiFi issues. It has shorter range and it disconnects a lot without a reason, even with WiFi policy set on Never. There are even more problems I won't mention. If you're using USB tethering frequently like I do, maybe you should avoid installing CMod ROMs...Other than that, CMod is the awesome.

can someone please help me remove the extremely annoying optus boot animation that comes with optus branded phones courtesy of optus.

did i say optus enough?

i have already unlocked the bootloader (htcdev)

flashed cwm recovery + root SU

is there a way to use a custom boot animation or just simply disable the crappy optus one?

[EVO 4G General] JonesLegacy:
Is there a program for this? Please let me know.....
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
Run an RUU, either as exe from your computer or as a PC36IMG.zip from hboot. This will leave you stock unrooted. Or if you want to stay rooted, just flash a stock rom or restore your stock nandroid.

If you want to regain s-on, the method depends on how you rooted your phone.
[HTC Titan] metalgod862:
I was just curious if anyone was else was having the issues my first Titan II was having.

I just got it yesterday and within 2 hours it started trying to reboot itself only to freeze on the ATT screen. I would then turn the phone off and then turn it on and it would start working again. after another 5 reboots the phone would not get passed the ATT screen no matter how many factory resets I did. When I went to the Microsoft store to get a new phone (because of an obvious hardware issue) another customer next to me had the same problem.

Luckily the Microsoft store just gave me a new phone and I am a happy customer for now, my second phone seems to be working great.
[HTC Titan] 92GTA:
I have no issues related to that at all to report.
[HTC Titan] jeffs99:
OMFG...

I thought it was me but my new Titan II is doing the exact same thing of freezing @ the ATT screen. When I first got the phone and turned it on without a sim card installed , it froze at the ATT screen. I figured the battery wasn't charged enough. I then charged for 4 or 5 hours and the same thing freezing.

Then i figured it was the fact no sim was installed...still same problem.

Then out of the blue it started working normally. I thought hmmmm, maybe break in period...

I worked fine for about a day and a half, then while on a call, on speakerphone, i heard this kind of loud static sound and phone went dead. Then turned it back on and again froze at ATT screen Turned if off again and it worked again. Since this was my backup phone, I set it aside to try and decide if I bring it back would they beleive me or not. Knowing my luck, if I brought it back for an exchange, the thing would probably work fine in front of Microsoft employee and they'd think i was crazy. But not after reading this....

This phone is going back....I'm so glad I read this forum...

Thank you!
[HTC Titan] Tikerz:
Did you make sure the back cover was on securely? If the cover is not make the proper contact to the pins inside the phone, the phone will shut off.
[HTC Titan] drupad2drupad:
Are you sure? As with Titan this is not the case.

The pins inside the phone and the pins on the cover have no mechanism to support phone power. It only supports the network coverage. By bending or pushing them away there are good chances you will lose LTE or 3g and without complete contact might lose the network completely too!

BTW, I think HTC needs to get their act together. AT&T Titan's launch batch was rubbish and so was UK Titan launch batch. Nearly 50% had to replace the first handset (if you look at the old threads).

I am presuming you bought it very close to the launch as well so are still in the "launch stock" ?
[HTC Titan] eightypea:
No, he's right. If you take the back cover off, your phone will shut off automatically with the Titan II.
[HTC Titan] jeffs99:
Well I brought it back and they exchanged it without the blink of an eye. They said they've had a few returns already for this same freezing problem for this particular phone ...They also said something to the affect that since this is a new phone it still has a lot of bugs in it...which in a way sounds resonable...

I turned on the phone before i left the store...it worked...let's hope it continues to...
[HTC Titan] drupad2drupad:
Interesting!

Can anyone please upload a pic of opened Titan II!

Would be good to see what they've changed as Titan can work without the back cover with ease.
[HTC Titan] jojapath:
Actually, That is exactly what I asked in a thread I started about the titan's signal strength.

But, since nobody posted a picture of the titan II with the back cover off, I started to do my own research on Google and I now understand why nobody posted it.

It is impossible to take the back cover off the titan II !

It has a uni-body design with no battery cover and no removable battery!!!

I don't really like this ...

Here is a pic of it with the slide-off panel for the sim card slot;

[HTC Titan] dizzyraider:
According to the review, in the case that the phone locks up, you can turn off phone by taking off the sim cover. Actually a pretty slick idea to mimic a battery pull when the battery is immobile fixed in the phone. I was wondering why it turns the phone off on my Titan 2

[General Questions and Answers] qwert940:
I am not sure if you understood me correctly. Phones you mentioned are nearly two times more expensive then Atrix 4G. I am looking for phone in similar price(best if it could be cheaper). And I forgot to add that 4 inches is the max screen size with which I feel comfortable. Maybe someone will have better propositions ;)
[General Questions and Answers] cepcamba:
Hmmm. It's kind of hard to recommend a phone better than the Atrix considering the price.

If I had limited budget I'll be considering the phones below:

-Xperia P

Pros:

-White Magic display is really bright.

-MALI-400 GPU better than the ULP in Atrix

-8MP against the 5MP in Atrix, 1080p@30fps(smooth) vs 1080p@24-30fps in Atrix (altough the Atrix vid is shot with 24-30fps it is of lesser quality than the one in the Xperia P)

-Planned upgrade to 4.0 (official update)

Cons:

-A bit more expensive

-No gorilla glass

-not yet available? but coming soon I think?

-Galaxy R

Pros:

-smaller battery capacity but longer battery life (weird?)

-more affordable

Cons:

-not qHD (and is at 4.2 inches not sure if you mind :p )

-no gorilla glass

-8GB storage against 16GB of Atrix

-no HD capture

-Optimus 2X

Pros:

-IPS LCD = much better than the TFT on Atrix

-8MP against the 5MP in Atrix, 1080p@30fps(smooth) vs 1080p@24-30fps in Atrix (videos from the 2X is comparable to the one on the SGS2)

-much more affordable!!!

Cons:

-8GB storage and 512 RAM against 16GB and 1GB on Atrix

I hope it helps!!!! And good luck on the purchase :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
EDIT: Bought. See Post 2. :)

I think I'm going to get an N7000, for testing my FM app (see sig), and because the Note seems to be an awesome device, one of the few to support FM recording.

I've looked in the XDA Marketplace, and some other places, and see used prices bottoming out in the $500+ range.

But why buy used when I can get one from Amazon, or better for me in Canada, Newegg, for $580 Canadian shipped: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875176317 ($560 in the US). ???

Newegg seems to offer a 90 day warranty via Brainstorm.

There's also a company in Italy selling on Ebay at $570, but Newegg is my choice, even if some other company is selling for $20-30 cheaper.

Is there anything I'm missing here ? Any reason not to buy from NewEgg ?

Thanks !

====================

(And my FM app is now working on CM9 and some other ICS ROMs for the SGS2 and reported working on Note now too, with a glitch or 2 until I get my Note and fix.)

I just KNEW this would happen, LOL. I put a price alert for $550 (was at $580 Canadian), on the theory that it might be like "make us an offer", LOL.

Sometimes Newegg sales just disappear & I get dissappointed. I thought, maybe Monday price will go down. But I decided to do it Sunday night, and strangely my credit card transaction didn't seem to get verified: "The connection was reset".

Hi,

I requested a Price Alert. I placed my order just hours ago, and the credit card transaction did not appear to complete.

Now I've received the Price Alert. I would like you to cancel my original order, or modify it to the new lower price please.
