Hey all,
Knowing you'll be able to help. I'm sorry if it's old ground but could do with assistance on updating BB and ROM.
I'm rooted and want to update the BB and instal Modaco FR19 but have worries.
Seen mentioned that you need to find the corresponding RIL for an update.....no clue how to find / go about this.
Got the LG RiL app and it confirms version 0419 (10D). Does that help?
Someone got a step by step guide for me on updating the BB so I dont brick it!!
Also got ROM manager and did a backup through CWM.
But in the process it says no internal SD so didn't backup the apps. Has it done everything correctly?
If I don't like FR19 (unlikey I know) I'd want to be able to restore back to my current ROM with data and apps etc.
Again....sure this is old ground but want to get off the custom ROM and old baseband
Thanks everyone
hi, the link below is for the BB updated provided by Paul. But i am unsure on the RIL - sorry

I used that post, and that post only to flash the latest BB on to mine and it all went smoothly first try
Thanks for the reply. Took the plunge. BB update was a sinch as soon as i knew to run smartflash as administrator (running windows7). Phone got stuck in a boot loop when putting modaco fr19 on it. Rwflashed the BB update and then all was fine. Glad to be rid of stock

Hi everyone.
I have an Optimus 2x, and when i updated it to 2.3.4 i could not use superoneclick to root my phone instead i found an answer on how to root it.
I needed to install cwm 5 and after that busybox and so on, and it worked, it was rooted.
Now i have a other problem, i have an update on my phone and when i click on installing it starts to reebot then it comes to cwm screen, there i'm stuck.
I have tryed everything there trying to update it but nothing works.
So now i am wondering if any of you can help me?
Got any idea what i can do to update or what i am doing wrong?
//Szander.
Ok, so now i did a recover so i get back my phone as it was before i installed cwm and tryed to update, it did work fine.
Until the update was done, then it stopped, and nothing i did worked the little android just stand there and looked at me.
So what now, i removed the battery and hoped for the best, now the phone would not bot at all.
After a few tears and a few swear words, i thougt about something, maybe i could use nvflash to get it all back as it was ???
I tryed closed my eyes and after a few minutes i could restart my phone and it loaded as useall, but the update was gone, ofcourse.
So now back to square one again.
Sigh (
Hi Szander,
So just to be completely clear, you're back at a perfectly stock 2.3.4 unrooted ROM and you want to root it, right?
Why not trying to follow cyanogen wiki to root it?

No.
I have cwm, and its still rooted.
What i want is to get rid of cwm so i can update to the latest update wich is v20q.
I have tryed this with recover but its only working on froyo, i belive i read it somewhere.
And when i recovered my phone then the problem really started, but thats fine now.
And as an plus is that now when i run LGMobileupdate tool its saying that i have v20q but in the phone it says that i still have v20I.
Weird.
I have read alittle more and (if i got it right) found out that i might just need to use smartflash on the phone via my computer to get rid of cwm and get a perfectly stocked phone again.
So can you help me please, hoping that you understand my problem.
Yup, as far as I know you are correct. To get your phone back to stock you need to flash a stock ROM using either smartflash or nvflash. I haven't done it so I can't guide you through it personally, but search this forum you should find the relevant threads easily enough.
If you have trouble finding it let me know I'll help you searching.

Hello,
AS the title says, I Bricked my Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 Gingerbread 2.3.4.
Here is the brief story.
1. Rooted my phone successfully by following instructions from forum discussion - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282011
2. Flashed rom "cm_ace-ota-eng-.beta8" - Beta 8 for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 (16 Apr 2012) downloaded from website - http://galaxyics.com/releases/phone/2
3. Meantime installed CWM through Odin Multidownloade 4.38, followed instructions from website - http://androidadvices.com/how-to-update-samsung-galaxy-pro-b7510-to-jpkc4-2-2-2-firmware/
4. Once cm_ace-ota-eng-.beta8 is flashed, rebooted phone. Here where things went bad. Now, I cant boot to Android. Samsung log flashes and its stuck at BLANK Screen with sky blue color.
Not sure, whether its a soft brick or totally bricked my phone.
I can boot to CWM recovery menu. I even tried to flash different rom but in vain.
I tried "Android 4.0.3 based Custom ROM for Samsung Vibrant — Ice Cream Zenwich" for second time but no luck followed instructions from website - http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-4-0-3-based-custom-rom-for-samsung-vibrant-ice-cream-zenwich/
Not sure, how do I fix this problem.
I searched on google for recovery options however, cant seem to figure out how that can be done. Request for your assistance.

Thanks for your quick responses.
I know, I messed up with my phone without knowing things.
However, I need bit more help here. Request you to bear with me.
@ an0nym0us_
from where can I get the stock rom ?
I searched google for stock rom and came across following article
yagyagaire.blogspot.in/2012/01/how-to-flash-official-stock-firmwares.html
is that ok to follow the instructions from there ?
sammobile.com
Make surr you can boot INto dl mode using power-vol down-home combo.
To make cm beta 8 work: wipe system and data, and cache. Flash beta 8 then after inatalling zip, install it again without wiping anything. Then reboot.

good enough to get phone back to life

You are AWESOME !!! Amazing, wonderful, brilliant, fantastic. You saved my life!!!
I can't thank you enough, you saved my phone )
Flashing twice worked like a charm !!!
All, thanks for your inputs and time.
Thanks so so so so so so much again.
Cheers
God bless you all
You can't just buy a mobile and next day flash what is a beta rom without at least spending a day or two reading the stickies on here and reading and understanding the complexities of flashing what is a rom which still says on the opening post for devs only. Some.people who have followed Maclaws rom from the start still experience problems when flashing a new beta. Hope you read enough to understand about flashing, rooting, backing up etc before you try again to install Ace's most awesome and ground-breaking rom. Take full advantage of what, as was previously stated, a very lucky escape.
Please use thanks button
Glad I helped

Very true. I was really lucky !!!
Now, phone working perfectly fine with Android 4.0.4 (Kernal V 2.6.35.7-perf-CL945787)
However, noticed one glitch though. Camera is not working with this rom, when I tap on Camera, I get a message " Can't connect ot the camera ".
I havent rebooted my phone, since it recovered ( i mean post flashing ). Perhaps, a reboot would help.
If the camera doen't work, then I need to live with that, thinking at least phone is working condition

Guys,
Sorry for the trouble again...
I need one more help.
I have backed up my contacts using kies before flashing my mobile. However, when I connect my phone to my laptop using usb, kies doen't detect the phone. I beleive, thats because, kies doesnt recognise the new andriod kernel.
Is there any way to restore my backed up contacts other than using kies ? I have around 600-650 contacts.
Thanks for any inputs.
Maclaw's ics is aosp. kies wont detect any rom other than Samsung's stock rom.
The camera stull doesn't work with our ics, so just wait till next beta.
On your kies problem, kies only recognizes stock roms.
You should always keep your contacts on your google account!

Thanks for your input.
Is there any other application, using which I can restore my contacts ?
I mean, an application which is capable of reading Kies bkp file and restore contacts or any tool which can read the Kies bkp file and allow me to imposrt contacts in csv format or at least some readable format ?
Perhaps, answer would be NO but still wondering....
For contacts you can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882861&page=2 but I dont know if it really works... first time i flashed my ace I got the same problem and I finally give up (damn Kies!)
You should backup your contact on sd file (Contact-Export-Sd) before flashing, its the most easy way!
For camera there's no way, it doesnt't work on the rom yo've installed, it's clear on the site where you downloaded it (Bucktracker section: https://github.com/GalaxyICS/android/issues?sort=created&direction=desc&state=open).
Hope I help you.
...sorry for my english
I remembered I did that before. By converting the contact file made by kies but I forgot already. Sorry can't help ya there!

Hello,
im not really sure what happened to my phone. I rooted it a while ago to install some ics version via clockwork mod.
Then, not really sure what i was doing, i tried to root it again several times when i wanted to change the custom rom.
now i cannot root the device anymore. its now running stock 2.3.4 but i want to go back to original lg software to start all over again.
as there isnt going to be an official update any time soon, which would have solved my problem, i now need help.
i dont know what to do. im really confused.
please help and excuse my bad english

yes, it says "successfully rooted", but when i open autokiller memory optimizer, he tells me, the device is not rooted at all.
=/
is there any way to fully restore the device..
load some official os version and start from scratch?
my goal is to load the ics version, now that the source code is published..
and i dont know how to get there.
Use nvflash. Even you can install custom stoxrom with it

Hi, I have many problems at a time lol. First of all, I bought this phone 'cause it was so cheap and it works fine for my mom. The problem is, I think I was scammed because the phone allows emergency calls only. I tested with many chips but they don't work, so I guess I'll have to find a solution for that (imei unlocking with z3x maybe?). Also, I don't know if the phone is branded. I think it's not, because it starts with other chips, but the bootscreen is still from the original company (don't know how to change it).
Okay, now that you know the conditions of the phone, I wanna ask if the phone being imei blocked affects on wether I can root it or not, cause I tried many many root files on CWM 5, but nothing happens. Some of them say that the process was completed, but I type "su" in the terminal and it says "not found". Also, I downloaded root checkers and they say the phone's not rooted. The roots I remember are universal_gb_root_v25, v23b, upd_1 and Root_Cooper. I am desperate, please help.
Also, I updated the firmware with Kies (can't remember old firmware), so now I have GB 2.3.6. I don't know if Kies might have screwed it up. I've also noticed that most people have a baseband ending in something like KT8, but mine is different... I remember I had to change the baseband on my Xperia X8 to unlock bootloader, but I know nothing about Samsung phones. Anyway, phone details are:
GT-S5830L
baseband S5830LUBLP1
kernel 2.6.35.7-1190892 [email protected] #1
compile number GINBGERBREAD.UBLP1
android 2.3.6
Thank you very much! I am posting cause I searched but found nothing u_u.

55mb internal space (data) is not the same as 55mb system space (rom space)
Oh god, I can't believe it still doesn't work D:
I think it would be good if I started from scratch. I mean, flash a stock firmware or something, like a factory reset. I installed CWM, how can I uninstall it?
What is the best way to do that?
thanks

Install CWM 5 from Recovery Mode. Go to CWM> Wipe data/ factory reset, Wipe cache partitions, Mounts & Storage> Format /system, Advanced> Wipe Dalvik cache, Wipe Battery Stats. Now re-flash the stock rom using odin through Download Mode. You can then try installing root and CWM. Hopefully it works well this time.

Nothing seems to work u_u. I flashed the stock rom, installed cwm fix, flashed Root_Cooper.zip and nothing happened. Then I flashed the no-junk-apps and also tried with AceGingerRoot, upd_1, universal_gb_root_v25, and Root, but nothing happens. Root and upd_1 give me an error like Status 7, installation aborted (some guy in one of the links Viper sent me had the same error). I type in he terminal "su", and it says access denied.
I don't know what else to do :c

No, that's not what I meant. Before you flash a fresh copy of stock rom, make sure to do a complete wipe. You cannot do that with the stock recovery mode and hence you install CWM. Just follow my instructions in the above post. Once you have wiped of all data, then flash the stock rom back. Always remember Root first then install CWM. If you do it the other way, you will end up getting status 7 error. Do post the result.

Oooh okay, i did everything but rooted after cwm. Ill try that!
It worked! thank you all! (even though it rebooted once, but it hasn't happend again)
Now, what JellyBean ROM would you recommend? I just want a "fast" one. (I know there's no such thing as "best rom" or something, I'm just asking for advice)
Some ROMs say that I have to install CWM 6 or above, should I do that? or just stick with this fixed version?

All CM 10 (JellyBean) roms works quite well with CWM 5, so I suggest you stick with it unless you want to go for CM 11 (KitKat) roms. CWM 6 is mainly meant for CM 11 based roms but there is one CM 11 rom (KitKat for All) that works fine with CWM 5. I haven't tried all CM 10 roms, so I can't help you in that part. But I can provide you the list of all custom roms for Ace. You can try it yourself and be the judge Here is the link,
