[MENTION=6251244]ehsanotaku[/MENTION] ... Thanks so muh for all the info you've given me mate, you really have helped me, in 2 ways infact :) 1stly that Odin guide you pointed me to was really well written and so easy to follow. I had my lad's phone flashed with stock rom in minutes, then on with AceJB again and then went with INT2EXT+ (as per your suggestion). Now all is working great again and he can install apps till his heart's content... Lol. Things were still a little sluggish, but it is only an ACE were on about, not an S5... Lol, so I guess it's going to be a little on the slow side. Not the end of the world tho, but from myself and my son, thanks so much 4 your help.

2ndly, the way you went into really deep discription of everything has really given me the bug to start learning more and more about all this :) So I've just ordered myself a new S4, which will leave this S3 that I'm using atm free to play n mess about with :) Don't know what I'm going to do with it yet, but I'm going to have a good search n read up about what's available to do to an S3.

Thanks again for all your help

[MENTION=6052946]Flawn86[/MENTION], There are many factors involved, so really impossible to say exactly why you did encounter some of the following massages ; I,e:

E:failed to mount/system(Invalid arguement)

E:failed to mount/cache(Invalid arguement)

E:cant open /cache/recovery/log

.

.

Being vague is not going to help you mate, please be more specific,,Read couple of posts before yours, most of the questions are applied to your situation. I expect your next post will be every bit as compelling as the juicy stuff guys before you are going to provide for better assassinate .

Good news is you are not stocked in between process of transforming your RFS partitions into MTD by flashing your CM11 nightly build. Recommendation : Fresh clean up over Odin is in order. For through recovery job you may follow the current topic we are standing right know ;post #431 and post #439 would apply to your cause. As for symptoms and your next step, which is installation of your CM11 over fresh stock Rom>> study my comments here and went through few pages I directed that guy, All of your questions will be answered.

Help with bricked galaxy s5830c

Hi guys, it's my first post here so sorry if i'm asking this in the wrong place. So, a friend of mine tried to flash a s5830 rom on his s5830c and bricked the device, and he asked me to help but i've tried everything and the phone always gets stuck on -- Appling Multi-CSC -- after flashing stock rom via odin, and does absolutely nothing if i try to wipe data/ cache, even with CWM. I've tried to flash the stock 2.3.6 gingerbread with and without PIT (cooperve_0623.pit), with Re-Partition checked and unchecked, with carrier free and the original carrier (Claro Brazil) and it says pass every time, but then gets stuck on the same -- Appling Multi-CSC -- screen! It's driving me crazy! i really need your help.

Rom in question comes from sammobile.come; (Originated for Germany based devices); Turned into wipe flash-able with splitfus2,,you may re-flash your "c" variant on top of this "i" variantfrom the same reference site, if any incompatibility arise in near future though ( for the record hardware infrastructures are the same though, only your base band might be problematic)

Glad everything worked out for you mate

Oh nice! I've also tried cygwin and splitfus2 but with no luck. I guess you're my new hero now :)

[MENTION=6251244]ehsanotaku[/MENTION] yeah i was kinda worried about problems in the future, but now i'm too afraid to flash the "c" variant again hehe, and since it's working so well i don't think there would be serious issues relating to the baseband version. I've even tried some custom roms and it's working fine, so i guess the phone is fully alive again! And the best is that my friend won't have to pay about 80 dollars for the assistence to "change the NAND board"(yeah, that's what they told me was the only fix...).

[Help] Issue with Cyanogen 11 stable release.

Hi,sorry to bother you but I have this issue:

When I recive and incoming call the screen doesn't turn on (it remains black) so I cannot see who is calling and ofc can't slide to answer.

So atm I've "fixed" it by setting the Home button to answer the call.

Note that even if I press the Home button the screen takes ages before it will light up.

I've followed the procedure step by step,and reflashed stock ROM with Odin the 1st time I've got this issue and with stock I don't have this problem.

Atm I'm still using Cyanogen 11 stable,aside from that screen issue the rest its working properly.

Hope you can point me in the right direction :cowboy:

Thanks for your time and consideration.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehsanotaku:
If you were on anything else rather than notorious CM11 unofficial nightly build , I would say that the screen protector on your phone or your protection case ( installation of third party app also might cause this ) might cause the proximity sensor on your phone to detect it as if it were the side of your face.thus Sometimes the proximity sensor is just wrong calibrated and prevents it from functioning correctly.(You can recalibrate it with app from play store ). However this is a bug ( various form and symptoms , slightly different for other parts )which comes with the latest build you have been using and aside this and minor problems , everything works fine .

On the side note , here is ongoing troubleshooting session for lock SIM card and blank screen for s5839i , Please compare your installation process with what i have instructed there and gapps version and installation process need to be done correctly. please give me your device variant , your CSC/PDA/MODEM original parts on your stock fw , totoro MODEM part you did flash separately over Odin ,your Region / country and service carrier you are using .

Just a quick question regarding rooting/flashing g5830i

Hi,

I am a noob, so please be gentle.

I am getting more and more confused the more I read about rooting my phone and installing link2sd and a kernel.

What i am after is a step by step bullet point list of what i need to do but just help on these questions below will do just fine.

I have a couple questions,

1) I want to flash my samsung 5830i with jelly blast v3 (if there is a better/smoother rom please let me know) and this will overwrite the current firmware, does that mean that after i install this rom the phone becomes rooted anyway? Or do I need to root phone first before I can install rom?

2) The internal memory is pathetic on this phone so i want to use link2sd to increase size, and i want to use overclock app/kernel to speed up the phone. Which kernel do I need to use?

I have been reading several sites forums for hours and not sure where to start as many threads are so old.

It would be useful if someone could, from the very beginning, just go over every step briefly.

So....

1) root phone

2) install jelly blast (or does this root phone anyway when installing)

3) configure partition of sd card (can this be done via my phone, or do i need to buy memory card reader for my pc)

4) use link2sd to create larger internal memory

5) install a kernel for ram improvements (which kernel is recommended)

6) install an overclocking app (again which is recommended)

Most threads I have read have differing steps, and they all advise different apps/kernels.

Any help for a noob like me would be welcomed
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
hi! :)

I don't know much but i am sure that first you have to root your phone and then flash a custom rom.

Also you can partition your sd card both via your phone and pc.

Unfortunately i can't help you about the rest. :(

I rooted my phone following this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1551156

and flashed this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2358404

OK Time to put this all in the help thread.

So I have a GT5830i and flashed it with TWRP-3.0.2-1-b1-cooperve.zip thinking it would be good way to install some roms, however seems to have done something weird as I cannot flash CWM any more and even using ODIN has caused it to loose recovery completely.

I tried flashing it with S5830i_XXLA2_ODDLA1_DDLA1_by_Domnic79.zip which should be fairly generic and it flashes fine no errors and a PASS. However there is an extended pause while it reboots and then eventually this pops up on screen.

You are special

You are one of the very few who care about rules, videos, sections before posting and then you're modest too.

You not even posted in correct section but also in correct thread :good:

Now, coming to question

Windows is real ***** when coming to devices. First it rejects some drivers to ve installed from normal installation and sometimes even fails to connect to devices showing error that problem is in the device. Solution would be either trying to use different port or if completely not working, using a friend's computer.

When you get succeeded in Odin being connected to phone, this is what you can try. Wipe data, system, cache, and tick repartition and choose the pit file and flash the firmware

And use Odin 3.07!

Good Luck

So I followed your advice and I got Odin to work again for me (yay!) but I flashed the firmware and repartitioned it aswell but its still stuck on boot loop.(how many time do I try? is 3 enough?)

When you try to restore the firmware, be sure you have formatted everything(except sdcard) and then restore the firmware

Also, when you have restored it, go to recovery and format data(only) and reboot

If it still bootloops, a logcat would help me to find what is going wrong :)
