Hi everyone i want to flash my galaxy ace ,so i start to follow the tuto but i am blocked at this step

when i Connect your phone to pc via USB cable phone is not detected in "Com Port Maping" area (YELLOW Color)

so i cant do anything

please help me and thks to answer to the question
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] offtherails2010:
Hope this helps :)

howdy bud :)

well not sure if you still need to sort your friend's old GT-S5830 (Samsung Galaxy Ace) but i used this ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2648868

and it is VERY fast for the old and slow 800 CPU but you gotta install No Frills CPU Overclock App and set it to:

Minimum CPU Speed: 800Mhz

Maximum CPU Speed: 825Mhz (i had it running at 864Mhz but was unstable)

CPU Govenor: PERFORMANCE

I/O Scheduler: noop

& tick the box saying to start on boot

!!! BUT !!!

ALWAYS shut down the phone and not "REBOOT" otherwise the changes never take effect properly ;-(

So after shutting down the phone and then powering it back on, the changes always take effect, UNLESS the Reboot app is built-in to the operating system.

hope this helps :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] tetakpatak:
Awsome! Thank you.

Just to make sure: are you sure for minimum CPU speed 800MHz?

First root and custom ROM flashing

Hi,

I am new in this topic, and I want to try out custom ROMs. I have chosen the custom ROM I want to try out, and I've read some articles and forum threads about this matter.

My Galaxy ACE S5830 runs on Android 2.2.1 and has never been changed (as far as I know).

I just want to be sure that I won't make any mistake so I need someone to write me down full process that needs to be done. I don't fully understand Odin, CWM and rooting (although I understand that root is necessary, and how it is done) therefore it would be helpful if someone here could describe what comes first and what comes last.

I am new in this subject meaning that I have never done this things with my phone.

Also I am not complete layman and I have good software understanding so I don't need too extensive descriptions.

:D :D :D :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] offtherails2010:
haha major LOL @ watercooling !!

If i had my way, i would watercool it Lmao !

and yes, max out the CPU, it can handle it, here is mine:

https://flic.kr/p/pNKWdb

Also, another tweak that made it run much faster and without lag, was to switch the Dalvik Cache runtime to the "ART Runtime" but this is highly Experimental and should be used at your own risk, but hey, with such an old phone, what have i got to lose lol

it was pretty much UN-USABLE due to its slow speed but with all these little hacks n tweaks, it runs pretty nice now and i dont AVOID using me phone lol

sorry for the late reply bud ;)

howdy buddy !

Firstly, you need to Root your Ace, to check if its rooted, download/install ROOT CHECKER from play store, run the app and press the verify button on screen when it loads, it will tell you if its rooted or not.

If not Rooted (likely) go here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1034145

Once Rooted, then you can install any custom rom you like, the instructions are always with the custom rom from the author who made it ;)

BUT - Make Double sure you DONT skip any steps, and always install a "RECOVERY" into the phone BEFORE installing any ROM !

sure it seems like alot of steps, but just sit down with it and go line by line, step by step, these authors have spent alot of time and effort writing these steps for us all, and it all works but only if you dont skip any step ;)

its not alot of stuff needing to do once youve done it the once ;)

PS - im Still an Android NOOB :) lol

Hello

I install Root_Cooper.zip via recovery and it is complete with no error. But when I reboot my s5830, there is no superuser and Root explorer tells me that your device is not rooted.

what is wrong?

The option "Install ZIP from SD Card" doesn't appear!

When I go to recover to install the Root_Copper.zip, the option on the instructions ("Install ZIP from SD Card") does not appear. Instead, I get the options to "Reboot system now", "Apply Update from SD Card", "Wipe data/factory reset", "Wipe cache partition", "test redbend fota[FS].

What should I do?

Thanks in advanced.

[MENTION=4813760]brijeshep[/MENTION] Thanks for the post! Isn't Explorer a better root explorer? IMHO I think it is better and user-friendly. :)

From the latest root file onwards, the superuser is a system app and is hidden. Try installing superuser app from play store and also Explorer for exploring root files.

Hi everyone !

I just got a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830, Android Ver.: 2.3.6

I followed the root instructions to word.

Every installation was success.

But when i try to run some applications f.e. : App2sd to make some free space on device it sais i need root access.

Looks like rooting not worked well.

I installed stock firmware with odin, then i installed universal_gb_root_v25.zip now my device is rooted.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManuH8:
I'm installing the new firmware but i had an issue with odin...

I flashed again 4.4.2 but in download mode, the last line you can see " UDC START" in colour red... Is this normal? I think the phone works good, but i don't know why put on this...

Anyone have this new line??
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jexreel:
I have the same problem with a N9005 I guess it was Hong Kong version for the kanjis in the back, but is stuck in odin mode with the UDC START line
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FdeKlerk:
UDC Start info.

Ok gent's little more knowledge about "udc start" I am guessing that the problem became clear as you installed 4.4.2 KK.

So did I and came across UDC Start the second time I booted into download mode.

As I played around i became aware that the "UDC Start" mode locks the download loader to certain criteria. This would be 4.4.2 KK,

so anything under 4.4.2 will get a MASSIVE RED FAIL. That including the CWR/TWRP recoveries and ROOT files.

So just to specify, yes phone is now locked/bricked to 4.4.2 KK software only.

Therefore I would please like some help to get the udc start away!? If anyone can help.

If I shared some light to the darkness please say thanks

Try this out:

Worked for me on a Hong Kong 16GB N9005 which was stuck on the 'Samsung Galaxy Note 3' screen after getting a 'Invalid: ext4 image' or 'Repartioning failed' errors while installing 4.4.2 OFFICIAL (Single File ROM) via Odin.

Binary: Custom

Knox: 0x1

Method:​

In Odin mode

1. Flash the latest cf-autoroot (Kitkat support) [http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-...x-smn9005.zip]

2. Flash the Chenglu's latest CWM - 6.0.4.6 (the one that supports KitKat) http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2454079

Download Sweet Rom and place it in ExtSDcard (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2487425)

I tried external sd-card with various format and could not install the ROM. After format my SD Card to FAT32, the ROM can be installed.

On Device

1. Boot in to Recovery mode by Volume up + Home + Power

2. Wipe Factory reset / Dalvik Cache

3. Format /System (under "mount and storage" menu) [IMPORTANT STEP]

4. Install Rom from SD Card

5. Say your prayer. You'll need it. (The installation could take sometimes. If the device screen shows Samsung boot animation, you're half way there)

Same Problem with E330s

Hi. I have a unrooted SHV-E330 (I9506 to some) I was running the unrooted firmware and updating with Kies up until yesterday when the update to came up. I ran it as with every other update however on self rebooting the phone now goes to ODIN MODE (in red) and UDC Start (in red) i'm a root virgin and was happy with the phone running as it was AnTU TU score 36118 with the Korean bloatware running in the background. From what I have picked up after 4.3 firmware update to 4.4.2 there is no going back. I tired to root with earlier versions of firmware but get fail every time. I Picked up a zip SKT-E330SKSUCNA7 wich goes as far as checking the MD5 file successfully in Odin 3 v3.09. everywhere I look on the web it states the com box should be yellow however mine is blue.

After MD5 successful I get leave CS. I click start I get 'Get PIT for mapping. There id no PIT partion followed by a red box and the'FAIL!' box with 'all threads completed Failed 1.

I have never rooted a phone and a buff mentioned that I will not regret it. I figure thart i'm doing something wrong as there was no PIT file with the firmware.

On first trying a firmware recovery in Kies because the phone is stuck In ODIN MODE it will not recognise the phone even though the USB drivers are installed.

If their is a person out there that could talk me through rooting trough the stuck ODIN MODE I would appreciate contact.

I gather that I have no choice but to try ODIN MODE on phone as that's where the phone is stuck. Removing battery etc has been tried to death.:eek:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FeralFire:
Your phone does not have a pit file on it. Odin downloads the pit file from the phone to make sure that all the partitions are correctly flashed.

Try ticking the 'Re-partition' box in odin while flashing. Though I don't really think it will help, because your single file ROM most probably does not contain the pit.

Your best bet is to find somebody else with the same model as you, and get a pit from them.

PS- You are in the wrong forums.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
[COLOR=[/COLOR]

do not tick re-partition without having a pit file, you will get a brick.

Feralfire, you just broke the first law of flashing with ODIN... If you don't know what to do then don't say anything...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] summan971:
Thanks for caring XDA developers - i fixed it

Hey thanks for the response the same day I managed to fix the problem a hour ago after 24 hours of banging my head on a wall.

I uninstalled all software including Odin remembering that ODIN MODE was the only option. most of the Boot Operating system was in Korean.

I followed a you tube guide from another root and noticed that although ODIN MODE and UDC start are new (according to other forums) that the other information insinuated that the screen I was looking at was also the download mode.

I reinstalled Kies and rather than asking me for the emergency recovery code it reset and was asking for the Model and serial number. After which it stated it could not recover the device only reinstall the stock firmware. I selected OK. the phone came back to life and reinstalled all data from cloud.:o

now on 4.4.2 and still thinking about rooting

however I must warn anyone that comes across the unlocker website that states its mod allows for E330S root. that clockwork mod does not cater for E330S.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FeralFire:
Au contraire, I have done a lot of research on pit file and played around a lot. Check out my threads.

If you tick re-partition without having a pit, it just gives you an error. Maybe in the olden days, it might have been an issue (I haven't always been a Samsung guy), but definitely not now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
If so, then make sure they know which version of ODIN to use as this is the fastest way to kill a phone I know...

Right from the very first this was a cardinal sin but then you didn't have a phone anymore or much sympathy either... But to tell a noob to do this was in effect saying "put your phone in front of a steamroller, it'll be ok after its gone over it a couple of times"...

re Pit File

I found this KS01LTE_KOR_SKT_32G.pit and ran it in Odin running download mode and it worked. It appears there are several Korean versions of the right ROM and unless the right rom is used flash in odin does not work.

I'm starting to sound like i know what i'm talking about!;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FeralFire:

Kitkat & samsung repair guy!

Samsung repair guy!

Hay guys, ok i now this thread is about udc start and 4.4.2 caused it so here is my story about 4.4.2 and omega.

So how about a little story?

So not long ago I installed 4.4.2 KitKat on my note 3 SM-N9005, as this was a beta rom and Poland not South Africa. I got some major problems.

So i tried to get it back to 4.3. NO luck, so i installed omega v7.0 for note 3 witch by mother nature LOCKED my bootloader, and by doing so soft bricked the phone.

Now I had 2 choices. 1 was to take it to samsung and 2 was to take it to samsung, you see my point. And there i met the AWESOME repair guy.

His words filled with wisdom was "I can get the bootloader back to MJ7 and wipe NA6, now wow that's sounds like just the right person, right?

NO NO NO!!! He did he's magic on an small device (witch you can buy) to force back the MJ7 bootloader. WTF WAS HE THICKEN. Reloade a 4.3 tom and guess what hapend next?

He hard bricked my note and totally destroyed my main pc board of the phone!!!

So any suggestions on what to do about this?
