For basic info, the one you posted is better.

Thnks for the reply dude .. Can I directly go to point G and H ? Does this phone has an unlocked bootloader ??

Yes you can go back to original stock ROM any time by flashing via Odin
Sent from galaxy ace running S3 beta 3.1 evolution

You can go directly to steps G and H after rooting. Step C is for flashing the stock firmware, thats our safety net, whenever things go wrong, we flash stock firmware via Odin and the device becomes brand new.
There is no bootloader issue here, you can directly install custom recovery and get flashing. Just stay away from the ROM Manager app, its incompatible with this phone.

Simple Guide for getting Cyanogenmod working
Hey
I got this phone a while ago and can share my experience on it with you.
first off: DON'T TOUCH ROM MANAGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!
I have seen too many people go down the bricking route to sit and watch another person go down that route...
Anyway, why dont you flash CM 7.2.0 cooper? Ive been using it for a month now and its great! Its the latest stable release, i didnt want to go any higher since I don't have the cash for a new phone, and have no use for a paperweight its quite simple really,
1: download cooper (i havent posted 10 yet so take away spaces) [get. cm / get / 2K8]
2: download CMW recovery (attached: couldnt find file I have online)
3: put the files in your sd root
4: boot into recovery (power+home)
5: install CMW recovery by clicking on (with home button) apply update from sd card and locate the zip file
6: reboot again into recovery (now CMW recovery)
6.1: (OPTIONAL, but recommended) make a full backup under backup and restore
7: Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and in advanced, wipe dalvik cache
8: install zip from sd, pick the cyanogenmod zip and apply. HAVE FUN
Just ask if there is anything I can help you with
NOTE TO SENIOR MEMBERS AND THE LIKE: I know there is an official thread on this but he made a post on being new to the phone and I'm trying to help...

Re-installing OS -- Help Needed

Hello,
I am on latest stock firmware, and want to completely erase my phone and install a fresh copy of latest OS.
Now, I am not at all feeling comfortable in flashing myself as I am having limited knowledge and I fear I will end up screwing phone.
If I visit Samsung service center, they just reset the phone... when told to install fresh copy of OS.
So, what to tell them so they understand that I want all old OS related things to be deleted and install a fresh copy of OS. Also what I have to see to make sure they are indeed doing what I am saying... what will screen display ?
Sum pointers plz.

Pointers:
1. Install a philz kernel.
2. Wipe all the partitions after that.
3. Download the stock firmware from sammobile.com or Dr Ketans thread from XDA (this thread also has instructions/how-to for how to flash using odin)
4. Use odin to flash stock rom in download mode.
Before you proceed and make any mistake read about all the above and understand the risk associated.

LOL. ok ill try not to laugh
goto settings about phone. check your version ... there may not be a update.
restart your phone "hold volume up and the menu button" when u get to factory recovery. use the "wipe/factory reset" that is as close as your going to get, (without using a custom rom). once done. u can goto the same "settings / about phone" and check "software update". if there is an update, you can download and apply it from there.
also check you have enough battery life before doing this.

Cant I just go to settings and under backuo & reset --> factory data reset.
Is the this the same as the method u suggested above ?

First of all make sure wat u want to do, if updated stock firmware is wat u want then reset your phone and then update it if there is any.. this is the safe mode.
Now the other option u got is root it, install cmw, install kernel, n lastly custom ROM it will allow you to change CPU frequency and much more.. choose any custom ROM its olwAys better in the most criterias. But if you wanna stick to the stock ROM. . Just reset it.

yes, almost the same, except. none of the files will be in use. if you use the restart method.
actually i think if you do the FACTORY reset from the phone while its booted. it will just restart and do the same "recovery" method? right?
sorry been a while since i did booted WIPE.
@ sushantp606
judging from the responses and stuff here. I am thinking this user is not at the stage to consider the stuff you posted, they are only after a basic wipe and update of the rom.

The problem is everybody always speak abt wipe... I don't wana wipe, I wana install fresh clean copy of latest official OS.

LG P990 - blocked in CNW menu

Hello guys, I have a problem with my LG P990 , I tried to upgrade the android version using only the phone(looking automitaclly for updates) [Everything started from 2.2 version] , nothing found, I tried with lg mobile support and I did to 2.3.4 or something after that when I tried to update again it failed so what I did ? I had used the AIO-toolkit without knowing anything, anyway -/+ went in CWM recovery menu , did some scarry things there after I saw that its not any chance with all that options I went to youtube and saw what should I do ...
So.. I used usb storage, I dwnd ROM, gapps and supersu , installed them in that order , reboot system now, everything was fine and then again to CNW menu , then again .. and again CNW menu , and yes, I'm blocked there ,in the menu. What should I do ? I tried a lot of things, taking out the battery , used another rom , using - and + again doesnt work so im done.
If anyone has any idea would be great to hear your ideas, thanks and have a good day.
CNW-based Recovery v6.0.2.5 , btw.

You could still be on old bl while flashing new bootloader Roms. More info needed, such as rom you tried to flash, your current bootloader (pink or white lg logo at startup).
Sent from my LG-P990

I tried cm 10.1 , after that I tried cm-10.1-20140112-NIGHTLY-p990.zip , which is the last one but didnt worked , supersu v1.25 . about logo .. its not pink , its just a normal LG logo ( that rounded logo((its kinda red, not pink)) in the left and LG near it ) .
If you want more info let me know, I dont know many details about phones and systems.
btw, after I'm installing rom,gapps and supersu ( I tried without supersu too) , I go for reboot system now it says S/W Upgrading and after restart its back on cwm menu

Ok, firstly you should try flashing never recovery (latest twrp or latest cwm by misjudged (both could be found on xda)) then you can try flashing roms. Are you sure you have p990 not p999 or su660?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Yes I'm sure I have P990 , what about never recovery? should I download cwm or latest twrp ?

It's up to you really, both do the jog
Sent from my LG-P990

yea , but I don't know exactly what you saying about never recovery ? It's something to install from cwm menu ? or its an option in menu( in advanced options or something) . I'm noob.

Well, you have to install new recovery. You could do that by installing newer recoverys zip in the using the old recovery (just flashing the zip like you would flash the ROM or gapps) būt i can't say whether your version of recovery supports other recovery flashing. The other way iš using aio toolkit, option 2.
Sent from my LG-P990

Anyway it worked to change the version but from this version I can't install any rom , cause of Error Status (7) or something like this, I'll still trying and edit my message.
btw, I cant use option 2 with nvflash , just with ADB , cause now my phone not working when I press + , - when its without battery and plugged in , yesterday it worked when I started to ''destroy'' it.

It worked ! I did it with SlimBean rom and gapps from this forum , 4.3 version . I don't think I wanna try again and change to new one, dont like this one , its nice but not perfect, but its ok, its working. Thanks for all your help.

[Q] How to install DjangoManouche ICS ROM ?

Hey ! I'd like to install a custom rom on my LG Optimus 2x because the current Android Version I have (4.0.4) is working reaaaa...aaaly slow (freezes , not responding , crahses ... you name it : this phone has it !). So I'm just hoping that if I install a custom rom or something it will have better performance.
Now what I kinda need is a step-by-step guide on installing a custom rom , because I don't really know how to do it (which is funny , since I'm a programmer) I was thinking about the DjangoManouche Rom , but if you guys have better suggestions I'll take it.
So ... step-by-step guide on how to do this ? I also heared I have to do some pre-installation stuff like unlocking my phone's root. Yeah I need some guidance on that as well ... I've only tried installing a custom rom once before , and all I met was errors ...
Thanks !

You can use the AIO Toolkit to root and install recovery image (CWM or TWRP) on your phone. Instructions are given in the AIOT thread.
After this you can flash a custom ROM from CWM/TWRP: Copy the ROM to the SD card, enter recovery mode by pressing Vol down + Power buttons, when phone is off. Choose flash/install custom ROM from (external) SD card, then select the ROM file you copied before.
Good luck!

What Do you mean by "keeps restarting" Bro, Is it stuck on the bootanimation?

If your phone doesn't get pass boot animation and reboots, then there's only one way to fix it. Your personal files and data would be gone but I'm sure it's backed up with your google account. Watch this and follow the instructions. Installing a stock firmware using ODIN. Hope it helped

Are you currently using a stock rom or a custom rom? Anyway you can solve this problem by just flashing back the stock rom using odin. Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin along with all firmwares and drivers (check the "Preparations" section),
Flash stock rom on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 using odin
If your PC cannot recognize the phone, its usually the drivers. Once installed, go to recovery mode (hold power+ Home button) and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur). Then restart. Now you have successfully flashed the stock rom. Here is the link for rooting and installing CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace. Just flash them from the recovery mode (choose "install zip from sdcard" and then select the zip file from sdcard).

The Apocalypse you are referring to is the custom rom that is installed in your phone. When you bought you phone, you had Samsung's version of Froyo/ Gingerbread installed in your phone. That rom is called stock rom. Custom roms are build by developers using cyanogen mod sources. Now you keep having restarts and since clearing data and cache from CWM didn't solve it, I suggest you install another rom. Now this is where you have to make a choice. You can either install a stock rom (stable, nice battery backup, etc) or a custom rom (fast, performance oriented, customizable, etc). Before you do install another rom, backup all app data using Titanium Backup. If you choose Stock rom, then follow my previous post on how to install stock rom on your phone. Now if you choose custom rom, then first we need to update CWM 4 to CWM 5.
CWM 5.0.2.6 fix for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830
Download the CWM 5 zip file to SD Card and reboot your phone to recovery mode (Power off then hold Home+ Power button). Now choose "Install zip from SD Card" and choose the zip file. Done! You have successfully installed CWM 5. Now time for you to install a new custom rom. Refer the following guide for all the custom roms for our device,
Know your Device:Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 ~Root~Odin~CWM~ROM LIST
For time being use any Gingerbread roms. Download it to SD Card and then reboot to recovery mode. Now choose Wipe data/ factory reset, Wipe cache partitions, Advanced> Wipe dalvik cache, Wipe battery stats, Mounts & Storage> Format /system. Now select "Install zip from SD Card" and choose your rom zip file. Reboot and you can use your new rom. Whenever you want to install any new custom rom, just follow the same procedure. Now as for the low internal memory problem, we might have a solution. But the catch is it requires a rom with init.d support (something all custom roms have and stock roms doesn't ) and an ext partition on SD Card. First backup all the SD Card data. Now go to CWM> Advanced> Partition SD Card> Size (Max 1GB, anymore and system will lag)> Swap (0MB) and wait for it to say "Partitioning done". Now download and place CronMod script (try INT2EXT+ as it is the most stable of all) to SD Card. Now again go to CWM> Mounts & Storage> Mount /system then flash the Cronmod zip from CWM. Reboot and you are good to go. Now go to Settings>Storage to see the newly increased internal memory. Here is the link,
CronMod-INT2EXT
Hope I Helped

First of all, read the forum rules in order to post your questions correctly...
There's a great Q&A Thread please use it to ask for help, this the General Thread, we must all contribute to maintaining our forum in order.
Next time, post it in the correct section, thank you for understanding it
Follow @mahithm instructions to flash a fresh STOCK rom and the next tine DON'T USE CWM 4x, it's outdated, there are several recovery systems based on CWM 5x, they're the most stable for a daily usage and they're required to flash most of the custom roms
