Well here goes nothing... and hopefully into something..

i hope a few of you are up and know a little about th ace s5830..

how it started... replaced digitizer for a customer of mine, showed them cm7 rom they didn't like, went to restore backup of stock rom. nothing was there... used odin to flash stock 2.3.3 euro rom. booted fine. customer said they wanted latest update... kies said cant update. found odin file for 2.3.6... odin would start flash and hang at mibib... tried another rom... stuck at setup connection... problem is no matter what i try i get these two issues with no progress and as of lately it will ony stop at setup connection... once or twice i had it stop and say can not connet to com port... and have since worked around by trying other ports and removing kies... drivers are still installed and i can boot to download mode no problem... i am just stuck and need help trying to get out of this loop of being stuck...

i have named .ops file cooper_v1.0.ops / cooper.ops / Cooper_v1.0.ops and have tried various md5 / tar files with one package and was only able to locate 1 with pda / modem/ and csc.

any help would be greatly appreciated... and if possible within the next ten hours mountain standard time us/canada..

i have searched all forums regarding my issue and have tried numerous times with their thoughts and what has worked for them but i still have failed to get this back up and running.

a huge thanks in advance and a thanks button waiting to be hit upon resolution:)

i get to hit the thanks button on myself. hahaha....

(Problem solved... i hope others that have been lost will soon be found.... if you place the odin file / .ops file / and md5,tar file one package in a folder in c:/ drive then run it as admin... it should go off with out a hitch. took me several attempt before i thought of trying it that way like i have had to do with a few others to get them running... but hey i got it right? Really do hope this comes across to a few people. the whole renaming your .ops file or switching ports may not be the cause of the issue at all. it might just be that the extension to get to the file is not much liked by the program and is simpler to run this way.. IMHO... thanks anyway guys, my customer will be happy that they have latest firmware for this phone and i can finally get some sleep

If you believe in this thread, peeps, please offer some constructive advise for the guy who searched, then posted correctly.

Make sure you have the correct Samsung drivers installed when using Odin, don't change nothing when you download a new rom unless you no what your doing, disable kies from running in the background it seems to interfere with Odin, make sure you extract the firmware zip on your computer and have the Cooper file, place Cooper file in the ops box select one package and then your firmware and then press start. Its all I know bout Odin as I run custom roms but I hope this helps you and others out :)

i believe in any thread whether it seems stupid or not. noobs and long time users as well as devs even have to go back and look at them to get going in the right direction sometimes. i agree that there are times where something is posted where it shouldn't be, i have done it myself without thinking clearly. However if someone needs help or is just looking for assistance, they should be able to get it without being shunned. again, i have posted for help a time or two and have either received help, ridiculed, or received no help at all.

this is a community and i try to think of every member no matter their location as my neighbor and though at times some of them can be a**es... we still depend on eachother when in time of need. patience and willing to help instruct someone or being able to receive some ones knowledge is beneficial to us all and we should be wise to remember that everyone here offers help, knowledge and expertise in development without getting paid( donations are always nice for our devs though).

be humble and help your fellow members out. you too were new in the forums at one time.:)

Thanks everyone for tossing out your ideas on what my problem was...

He's found the answer for he needed it... :D So what ? It's just a question of mere common sense. We usually use " C:/ " as the windows drive & all the files under it are to be accessed by administrative permission to be modified, even if it's not a system file. The guy knew his phone well but not the computer...! My suggestion : EXTRACT THE ROM PACKAGE TO DESKTOP OR ANY NEW FOLDER IN IT. This should work fine & don't complain about the methods suggested. It's worked for everyone whose ace was built on earth. Doesn't work for martians...( noobs...! :D )

Me, touchy? you must be confused... as for newbie im not. i dont run anything out of C:/ folder directly. Everything I have is in a folder on my desktop inside a folder inside another folder and guess what... sometimes even inside another folder and programs seem to work fine. Odin for captivate/gs2/gs3/ and other devices that i have work just fine outside of being located directly inside C:/

Granted answering the same question over and over again does get tiring i will not debate that in the least. however each person as a different learning curve. i had to train a kid that worked for me a few years ago, with military lingo. he could not understand and grasp the concept with plain ole' English. had to break it to him military style. other people dont grasp simple knowledge but grasp a larger technical aspect. and vice versa. some people cant learn without hands on. other with a visual or audible, some people cant learn at all unless they have all three. its a learning experience.

granted new postings regarding the same thing get old as dirt, it really is not hard for a senior member like you or i to give the person a link to what they are looking for and kindly let them know the have posted incorrectly and to also post to a moderator to close and remove the thread.

we all post in areas that we shouldn't a few times and learn as we go. i had one just the other day in my deivice forum... placed it:D in Q&A and found out i was still wrong for posting there. oh well, lesson learned right?

First... Wow...!!! Second...You don't have to be so much explainatory. I didn't call you a newbie but only those that already are. You & your military boy stuff has nothing to do with me but yeah, perception differs from person to person & silly questions are bound to arise. What I meant to say then was that there are answers to almost everything on xda but people don't mind searching & with no effort they create piles of threads that f***s up the forum hygieneity. That was the main motto behind creating this thread so that we could help newbies/noobs to the utmost extent possible & avoid recreation of something what already exists. We are ready to help if you create a thread for a problem that questions us with something that we've never come across before. Not for something that's already asked but again there's a new thread created for it...!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sberla54:
Hello everyone,

i've got a weird problem with DroidAce 2.1 ROM and root on my syster's phone.

I installed the ROM a couple of month ago and everything worked well for 3 months, until today. I configured a 2 Gb sd-ext partition with S2E and it's working ok, because internal space is free for 50% and most of stuff is installed on sd-ext space.

Today she was making a massive Google Play upgrade (35 apps) and afters a couple of apps updates the phone started crashing. It started saying there wasn't any space left and all the apps and services stopped unexpectedly.

Nothing was working anymore.

She rebooted and the ROM got stuck at the boot image: the phone kept rebooting.

The only way to fix this was to restore a Nandroid backup of a fresh installation.

Something similar happened with the stock ROM: during an upgrade the phone spotted one particular error (i don't remember it) and everything started crashing. The phone was dead so i rooted and installed this ROM.

Anyone else experienced this?

Could it be a problem related to the few internal space of the Galaxy Ace?

I don't wanna restore her phone every couple of months...

Thank you!

Ace can't handle it..That's the problem.Do it one by one
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sberla54:
That's annoying :(

Do you all do like that? You upgrade one by one on your Ace?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prawesome:
Yes..Maximum number of group updates you can do in ace is nearly 5 apps.More than that is too much for it to handle
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sberla54:
That's incredible...incredibly bad :(

Just for curiosity, which part of a massive upgrade can cause this total block of the phone? The internal space usage?

I really can't understand, technically, why this issue happens...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 121C4:
Like I said to you on the other thread, I don't know much about s2e. I do think that your sister has too many apps. Sometimes when I flash a new ROM, I let google market/play restore my apps (about 50-60) and it takes some time but it succeeds. I have an unlimited data plan from my carrier so it doesn't cost me any extra.

Like I told you before, I use cronmod scripts. From what I have read from other users, it works well up to about 750mb of sd-ext used on the ace. Maybe that is the limit? Maybe having 1gb used (if I understood you correctly about your sister's phone) is too much?

The way I see it she has three options:

-New phone

-Same phone, same methods, just update more regularly or one by one.

-new method and less apps.

I may be wrong and that is why I suggested to ask your question here, because this thread is read by knowledgeable people (like Prawesome)

Edit: reading your original post back I might have misunderstood how full your sd-ext is. So this might not be as helpful as I thought it might. :confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sberla54:
Well, i set up a 2 Gb sd-ext that's free for more than 50%...maybe even more...that's why i don't understand all this mess the updates are doing :)

And, by the way, she has very few apps...like, less than 40-50...only the most common ones, from WhatsApp to Facebook...

If the problem happens again, i will try Int1Ext instead of S2E, that seems pretty crappy.

Thanks for your advices!!

By the moment that i'm here: do you suggest a different ROM? I choosed DroidAce after a brief research because seemed the most fast and stable to me...

What does EXT4 filesystem exactly mean?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 121C4:
In windows you can partition your PC hard disc drive into different drives. Each partition is named by letter (ie C, D etc) and can be set up to be a specific type (ie NTFS, FAT).

In Linux (and android), ext4 is kind of like that except it is used to extend the capacity of the device by using it as extra space for journaling etc.

The Samsung galaxy ace has small capacity for internal storage so by creating an ext 3/4 partition on our sd card we can give our phone more storage to work with.

Why does it needs to be partitioned? We need the part of our sd card that has music etc on to be able to be read by windows so we can transfer music onto the card in the first place. Typically this uses the FAT file system which windows can read. It does not, however, allow android to assign permissions. Ext4 (developed as a successor to ext3) does allow android to set permissions but can't be used by windows.

More reading http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4#section_2here

I hope that makes sense and helps Answer your question
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivam Bector ^_*:
Thanks (clicked) for your answer, i already have an ext4 partition on memory card, all i meant to ask was when a dev writes *ext filesystem* in the features on his rom thread. Does that mean that there is no other script needed for the ext partition? If not then what does it exactly mean!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 121C4:
Which ROM?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivam Bector ^_*:
Example:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1537913

Look at the 4th point under the rom features!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 121C4:
In this case i believe the op means that the ROM has a script/file/command (might be a file called mkfs.ext4) to set up the system partition inside the phone in the ext4 format during installation. I don't think it refers to your sd card or your ext4 partition on the sd card.

I don't think that it refers to any "app/data to ext/sd" method either.

If i am wrong in my assessment I'm certain someone will correct me :D

Many posts..CPU,ram..Ace doesn't gave enough of any of these factors for such a large restore

Samsung ships its devices with rfs file system which is usually slow.When we modify roms, we replace the file system which is faster and more universal.

It's not a rom,

it's a kernel.It does help exams battery life a bit

Are you still on warranty?
