Looks sdcard is damaged somehow! What is the sdcard - new, old? If old, I don't recommend you to use it anymore, but may be the damages is not that bad. If new, try to save your important files (if they are still there), and then try to formatting it.
[Galaxy Ace II General] galihsan:
yup, I use empty sdcard & it works,

I agree, I'm using old sdcard with many file inside. this is cheap sdcard, sometimes I got my pict corrupt too,

I think I should buy a new class 10/USH

Whats new for today??, any updates??:)
[Galaxy Ace II General] Toown:
Does this release look like the samsung "version", not like the kyrillos v7b look (AOSP?) (i don't like the samsung look) ? If so, is there a way to change this without additional launchers or does this change with the unbranded version? Or does the unbranded version only differ in bloatware? Otherwise i'll stick to kyrillos v7b :) (and wait for v8)

Titanium with update.zip and second restore via installed app was perfect.

Yup, the problem is we can only move the moveable apps using application manager.

When I still use GB I can move almost.anything to sd using titanium.

Perhaps someday someone will find a solutions for this, I hope :D

Batch actions

Find the Freeze Or Uninstall (depending on what you wanna do) all user and system apps

i´m confused little bit. is here anyone with working I8160XXMC8 on I8160P. I read some responses but I´m still not fully decided if flash it or not. because someone of you wrote I can brick my phone if I have I8160P. are there any problems with it? i don´t want to brick another phone, my last samsung had died by flashing wrong ROM before I bought ACE 2.

second question: if it´s appropriate to flash it anyway I should do it through MB4 kernel, shouldn´t I?

[Galaxy Ace II General] pfbatista:
I think you done something wrong...

When you flash with ODIN, you must wait till the phone restarts... after the "injection", the phone remains a lot of time on Samsung Logo... you must remain the phone connected until it asks for PIN, it's the safest way.

Try again, flash it and you can only disconnect the phone when it asks for PIN.
[Galaxy Ace II General] payer:
Not easy... with the plenty of deails you gave us.

1. put the battery out for a few minutes and try to stat it again.

2. can you reach download mode?

no: bricked

yes: Try to flash MC8 again or try to flash MB2/MB4 or try to flash the last GB-Version for your device.

Edit: And close all kies-processes before you flash with odin and follow the good advices of pfbatista
[Galaxy Ace II General] astankov:
Can I flash mc8 kernel over mb4 firmware? Will this fix deep sleep bug and if the answer to both questions is yes how to flash it? Is it possible to take kernel.bin.md5 and put it in to a .tar file and flash it with Odin as PDA?
[Galaxy Ace II General] payer:
yesyes.Download MC8, unpack it, kick the .dll and flash the I8160XXMC8_I8160TMNMC3_HOME.tar.md5 with Odin as PDA.
[Galaxy Ace II General] astankov:
Dude read a bit carefuly I'm asking just about the kernel not for the full firmware.

[Galaxy Ace II General] ghostface:
I don´t agree, if you spend a few minutes of your time and delete the samsung+TMN crap and services, you get the best jb rom for ace 2. No lags, much smoother than earlier versions..in fact, only thing I want to be improved is smoothness when you select something in system menus. :good: Conclusion: No serious problem at all.
[Galaxy Ace II General] samer menla:
you are 100 & right

now this mc8 is better than mb2 and mb4

but in games there are still lags

they must make jb better than gb
[Galaxy Ace II General] dlsygaco:
True. Tmn doesnt have ace 2. But maybe they released it because tmn has plans for putting up ace 2 on their list with jb out of the box.
[Galaxy Ace II General] hesaps1234h:
GB is smoother than JB. Samsung must make smoother version. It still stucks on the menu.
[Galaxy Ace II General] astankov:
Now lets answer myself - no it is not possible. When I create .tar file and load it in Odin as PDA flashing hangs and that's it. Odin v3.07 even crashed. After several unsuccessful attempts I just flashed whole XXMC8 then Root and CWM. Restored original boot animation and removed all TMN crap. The result is the best JB rom I ever used - really smooth and fast. Deep sleep works now without problem.

I'm really happy! :D

Cheers!
[Galaxy Ace II General] mat159:
I don't know, why some of you guys complain about MC8. Personally, I see great progress comparing to GB. I have no lag, no bugs, some issues, that annoyed me in Gingerbread have been fixed. Even the battery life is good for me. If you have troubles, maybe it will be good to make full wipe before updating? It always helped me with roms not working properly.

Also, there's no use wondering when the XEO is going to be released, since there are many rumors with different dates.

Come what may, we have fully working Jelly Bean.

Weird, huh? Some people can't or don't want to understand, that mobile standards aren't the same around the globe. If we are in Europe, we should install firmware dedicated to Europe, if we are in China - dedicated to China. As simple as it sounds.

For some people - too simple or too difficult. If I don't know what is the flashing about, I am not participating in that, because after that I can be really angry/mad - some people should print this sentence and read every time they want to change the firmware first and after that, they run the logical thinking - they should run the logical thinking first and then flash.

Ok...

Updated my phone.

My phone was a XXLK7 so I decided to install a pre rooted Rom XXLK7 to start.

Than I end up reading far too many comments in regards to 624 Ram so I end up becoming greedy and I downloaded the famous MB4 official firmware.

I backed up my phone and performed a factory reset. I made shore to reset all partitions and finally I flashed the MB4 to my phone. With the pit file from the MB2 leak.

Tested the phone and all was good.

So than I downloaded the XXMC8 firmware and flashed it to the phone.

All seems good.

I checked the Ram and is 624.

After that I used a (Update folder) to activate the superSU.

And it worked.

Phone is JB XXMC8 and is rooted fine.

After that,

I inserted a memory card from my old (Galaxy ace GT-5830i ) that had a partition made with CWM. And for my surprise Link2sd is working with the partition.

So I didn't used CWM on my phone.

Don't like the keyboard.

So I downloaded Swype beta.

My problem now is that when I try to check for a Update.

I end up receiving a message,

"Can't receive updates because phone is modified"

Any way to fix this ?

And yes phone was a bit slow to start...

But not to worry as it fixes itself as it goes.

Working fine and fast now...

Phone working at around 400+ Ram . Is there a way to lower it???

Any help or suggestions are welcome.

Thank you Randall.

I tried but it didn't work on my phone. :(

So I extracted the zip folder file you provided and removed the precious contents. and...

I used it on my phone manually.

Here the Instructions.

CAUTION: Before you proceed! please back up your Stock Boot Animation.

Using Root Explorer.

Go to system/media then move bootsamsung.qmg to your sdcard.

Go to system/media/video/shutdown than move shutdown.qmg to your sdcard.

keep them for safekeeping...

Just in case you have a change of heart. :D and you miss the TMN logo...

Than replace the moved files with the Original JB MB4 files provided on the link by Randall.

Note: all credits should go to Randall.

;) After all he provided the files.

:laugh: Worked great for me.

:p Using this method you can make your own ( boot.qmg and shutdown.qmg).

or system/media/audio/ui PowerOn.ogg and PowerOff.ogg :cowboy:
