You can Flash any firmware from any region (as long as its for your phone model). Just Flash the Latin modem afterwards (also with Odin).
Also the Kp7 firmware is Latin unbranded (no bloatware from telcel, iusacell or vomistar) and has the Latin modem. Try region southamerica (I know, I know, they just keep putting Mexico on southamerica!)
Hi,
i have ran into trouble with my ACE. The Problem:
1.i started Kies and connected my ACE -> no connection was established...
2.i put the Root.zip file and the CustomRom with MyPhoneexplorer (WLAN) to my ACE
3.now started into CWM, wiped all, rooted the phone, reboot -> everything ok
4.rebooted the phone into CWM -> install from zip -> tried to install the CustomRom -> that failed :crying: "E:cannot mount /cache" and so on
5.now i have a big problem to connect my ACE to Odin... i think this is the same problem as Kies already has. No connection possible in Odin...
What can i do to make my phone run? Everything i see in the moment is the startup Samsung screen an nothing happens.
thanks a lot

Have you got tha right drivers?Also try updating KIES
i think this is the main problem... i have tried to connect ACE to 3 different PCs with Kies reinstalled -> everytime Windows notify about "could not install driver".
When i try it with my SGS2 -> no problem at all.
Ist there a way to flash CWM without to connect USB? I mean put the install File on sd card an install from zip?
Hi,
now i tried everything (i think so). Kies reinstalled, different OSs on my PC, different PCs, Samsung USB drivers but no soultion for ACE... This damn phone
don't recognize at USB
i think the next step is only Samsung Service...
whether somenone have an idea for my problem, please post it!
thanks.
was your sga in download-mod?
if yes
did you installed drivers for the sga ?
because if you didnt installed the driver it is possible that you dont get any connection to your sga
if yes
did you checked usb-debugging ?
But your sga starts normaly? So you use a rooted stockrom?
-ACE was in download mode.
-drivers are installed
-usb-debugging cannot be checked-> ACE does not start anymore...
-no, no start possible, only Samsung Galaxy Ace screen or download mode or
recovery mode.
the issue is not the flashing themselves but the USB connection PC<->ACE
thx.

anyone can help me to give the the to get that's file?
thanks before.
I guess I'm lucky
OK. Didn't know were to put this info, so I'm guessing that this thread is as good as it gets.
Several months ago, cannot remember when exactly, I did a search on freeing up internal memory on my Galaxy Ace S5830L Telcel. Came up on Link2SD and read that the phone needed to be rooted.
Original specs:
Android: 2.3.4 Gingerbread
Firmware: S5830LUBKP7
Provider: Telcel
SD: 8Gb
My previous phone was a Nokia N78 so I was very comfortable "breaking" this relatively new (about 6 mo old) phone. Downloaded KIES and made sure the phone was completely up to date with SAMSUNG. Downloaded CWM 5.0.2.6 for cooper directly from CWM (file called AceGingerRoot.zip). Placed the zip on the card, went into recovery mode and loaded CWM. Rebooted the phone and once more went into recovery mode to check I had CWM. Rebooted the phone, went into PlayStore and loaded up SuperUser, Link2SD and RootExplorer. With these loaded I basically threw away most Telcel apps except the I-mail one and transferred most things to the SD card. I even offloaded Google Maps with Street View, ThinkFree Office and YouTube to load them again a user apps and link them to the SD card.
Oh... by the way I used an external windows program to partition the card with a 750Mb Ext3 partition.
The phone only once hiccuped in that I had to work around the deskclock as everytime I touched into it the phone would lock, then I would unlock and it would open directly into the clock. When I touched into the alarms the same thing happened. Same story when going out. I put up with it since it was really not annoying.
Come this past weekend I read that ICS and Jelly Bean COULD be flashed into the S5830. Not wanting to really go that far I went looking for something a little more "tame"... hence cyanogenmod. Came up with a tutorial at wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Ace:_Full_Update_Guide which sounded easy enough. Downloaded the files for S5830 (ccm-7.2.0-cooper.zip), followed the instructions for "Method via Recovery" (including backing up contacts and stock ROM to SD) and voila CyanogenMod-7.2.0-cooper now resides in my phone. The specs are now:
Android: 2.3.7
Firmware: S5830LUMKP3 Build GWK74
Unbranded
SD: 7 Gb user, 750 Mb ext3 for phone
Reading about the issues in this thread I can gladly report that:
a) I have full functionality of GPS together with AGPS
b) My signal reception, both 3G and WiFi has GREATLY improved. I wonder if Telcel is being a ***** and throttling the darn phone with the stock ROM. With 3G I frequently (especially at night) had very bad reception in my calls. This is gone. Also WiFi scanning is better as it now resembles what I can find with my acer 4700 series laptop.
c) Modem functionality is working perfectly. I didn't even need to modify anything, it directly detected the settings for Telcel. I wonder if it "picked them up" from the backup I made in my external SD card of the original stock ROM. This is one of those things I cannot explain why.
Next up... dunno maybe CM9 although dad is sending me his Samsung GT9070 (Galaxy S advance) to play with.
I can't install the ClockWorkMod, when i execute the command "adb push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img /tmp/"
I get this: failed to copy 'adb push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img /tmp/' to '/tmp/' : Is a directory
How can i fix this?
G. Flash Custom Recovery:
1) Push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace.img to your device using "adb push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img /tmp/" command
2) Turn off your phone
3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON
4) Login to your device over "adb shell"
5) Mount /system using "mount /dev/block/stl12 /system" command
6) Flash CWM recovery using "flash_image recoveryonly /tmp/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img" command
7) Umount /system using "umount /system" command
8) Reboot your device using "reboot recovery" command to test your new CWM recovery
9) Reboot your device

Just out of curiosity... are your file names correct? Are you rooted or rooting within the same process? You post instructions for 5.0.2.6 but are trying to push 5.0.2.3. Do try the instructions I placed in post of nov 07 for flashing cwm via recovery. No glitches on my ace.

i am sure experts, that there will be something....but what is that???
Googling for hours dint helped!!!!
Note: i cant connect my device to PC as hardware is damaged.

If you still used froyo you may use Z4root to root your device by download it from market.
But if newer GB or later so waiting for another user to help
E signature verification failed in update.zip

Mine is worse case scenario.
1. i cant connect to PC (USB connector / hardware damage)
2. in reboot mode i f i choose "apply update.zip from sd card" i end in error "e- signature verification fail, installation aborted.
3. I dont know how to fix it. Also i cant see any directory in "MyFiles"
can i use z4root without USB ????
i guesss it requires device connected to PC (i cant do it)
isnt there any other app or something llike, this is really tedious job for me now.
Your help is appreciated.
Prasmit
what is your recovery Ver.? do you see a <3e>?
if you dont have <3e>, there may be an option (hidden somewhere in the menu) to make a superuser through the recovery.
after that you can change kernels with "SGS kernel flasher" by NELDAR (in market)
and use "[root] Mobile ODIN Pro" by chainfire to flash roms (has the option to auto-root even stock when flashing)
Hey Hi,
yes i have <3e> recovery version.
What i can do to upgrade os now??
my usb connector on motherboard is physically dmaged so no USB is working??
device is not rooted also, is there any way or app to root device directly without USB??
Thanks in advance.
Hi Guys,
i got a huge Problem with my GT - 9305.
I already saved my IMEI etc and now i want to root my phone but I got a problem.
I done everything said in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32235061&postcount=1 BUT:
Everytime I go in downloade mode and want to start Odin this happens ( see attachments )
My Phone wont reboot while I press start, it still says: Downloading ... and nothing happens.
I have installed latest Kies + Drivers, sometimes Kies find the GT-9305 and sometimes not, then i have to reinstall the Drivers.
I have selected MTP + ADB
Android 4.1.1
XXALI7
Buildnummer: JRO03C.I9305XXALI7
make sure Kies is not running when you do it
Root your phone with One Click
Hey, I've got an unlocked i9305 with Optus in Australia.
I rooted my i9305 weeks ago, just a simple software with one click, nothing to do with Odin.
I don't know why there's hardly such tool in the xda and many english-based forum, try this link:
http://sj.qq.com/root [Probably you don't understand Chinese language, google-translate the webpage]
Things you need to do:
1.A Windows-based PC
2.Download the tool from the link
3.Have kies installed (Or you can install the phone driver alone)
4.Enable usb-debug in development option on your i9305
5.BACK UP!
6.Connect your phone with a cable to your PC
7.Use the tool, ONE Click, root your phone successfully
8.After rooting you'll probably find a superuser app in Chinese, don't worry
9.Go downloading the Superuser app in play-store, it can help you to switch to the new SU app.
10.Done!

Check your device manager, you will see unknown device named LGP880 ( In recovery Mode )
Use AdbDriverInstaller at attached for install Lg driver.
Then Try again adbsideload.

Hi all! like most I have joined with a problem
I Have an xperia SP-C5303
I successfully rooted the device with the Towelroot app, Then used the sony mobile flasher by Androxyde to flash cyanogenmod 10.2 onto my phone. This was all working fine.
I used CMW to install an update downloaded through cyanogenmod. When I rebooted the device it was stuck in a bootloop. The device connects top the computer in flash mode, but will not accept a flash because somehow "USB Debugging" is not enabled. It was obviously enabled before because I had already flashed the device.
ADB drivers are installed but to be honest Im a bit lost now. Does anyone have any ideas how to turn on usb debugging so that I can flash my phone again?
Korbey
I can connect to sony mobile flasher in flash mode but flashing fails at the end with the program saying "For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings" how can I activate these when in a boot loop?

I would like to know if your Xperia SP has its bootloader unlocked?
The error most likely appear because you have no drivers for Xperia SP. Yes you might said that you installed it already but let's try again. Navigate to the Flashtool installation directory, which is C:\Flashtool by default. Then go into drivers folder and run the installer therein. Please tick fastboot drivers and flashmode drivers. Scroll down a bit and find Common drivers for Viskan board. Tick that as well and continue the driver installation.
After everything is completed. Close Flashtool and open in again (in case you've disabled UAC, please run Flashtool as an administrator). Then retry to flash a stock ROM's .ftf file.
