[Q] Problems with rooting and installing CWM5 and custom ROMS - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I am having problems while trying to root, install cwm5 and install a custom ROM to my Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i.
PROBLEM:
First:
I rooted my phone by following this article.
It rooted in less than a second, so i had my doubts and went ahead and rooted it again, only to get the same thing... After starting my phone normally, i found this new icon
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
.
Root checker also confirmed that it was successfully rooted.
Second:
I tried to install CWM 5 from the same article. When installing, I get the following error:
Error in E://tmp/sideload/package.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted
However, after following this article, i was able to get it to work. However, like it says in the article, i have to install the zip from SD card via standard recovery every time i have to use CWM
Third:
I did all this to try to install this custom ROM.
While using "temporary" CWM, i tried installing this, but once again, i get the exact same error:
Error in E://tmp/sideload/package.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted
I thought it was due to a bad file, so i downaded everything again, again, and finally, once again... Nothing seems to work
I then tried to flash CWM via ROM Manager. It asks me to confirm my model, with only one option (i.e. S3850i), i tap that and it says no supported CWM available, but i know there is by looking at these articles and other tutorials
I also tried re-rooting my phone via super one click v.2.3.1.0, but it hangs at waiting for device...
DETAILS:
Galaxy Ace S5830i (GSM), bought in Dubai
My PC runs Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Please help me out here... thanks

Well i copied it from my comp, pasted it in my SD card. Shut my phone down, then restarted into recovery mode (Samsung Standard <e3> or something like that). Selected apply update from SD card in zip
selected the file (which was in the main directory itself).
Then a few lines of code appeared...
something about getprop or something...
then after say the 12th line of code, that error message appears...

Alright, hold on...

I googled on the matter and found that it seems that the new aces with gb preinstalled have a special secure bootloader which prevents rooting of the phone!!

I think you are a little hard on the reading part yourself..it clearly states that your device is a GT-S5830 "T" and not "i" !!!!!!!!!!

Well mine was a gb preinstalled. but i checked online and saw tutorials for rooting galaxy aces with gb 2.3.6 (mine has 2.3.6)... and it seems to work fine
also, 1 minor difference i found (dunno if it helps) is that in the tutorials, the screenshots and vids show
Galaxy ACE SGH S5830
and at the bottom it says samsung (during boot)
On mine, the Samsung is at the top

Dude, if you did know some code, it looks like a test to check if it is a T, or an L or just S5840... now i dont know why there is no i in there, maybe that's the problem, and thats what im trying to figure out
Also, im sure its an i since it says that on my box, plus on my bootscreen, and in my about phone settings page

There is no error message it just show ! in triangle
You have to wait for 6-7 minutes to complete the process. Be sure liquid is fully charged and debug usb is activated.
Keep in mind you cannot update liquid with liquid e roms.

Thanks for you reply, I just want to add that I am trying to upgrade it through application being on SD card and by pressing camara button + down vol then power button, My Acer had Liquid Galaxy 2.1 , kernel Version 2.6.29-phh
You can't install in recovery mode cause it's not a zip file, it's a bin file. You need acer download tool, then youhave to put the recovery back gain.

Upgrade I downloaded has two files
1. Acer_LiquidE_1.100.03_PA_ROG
2. UPdate.zip
and as per instruction provided I need to use Recovery mode to install Update
I Just found the error it says
Assert Failed: getprop("ro.build.display.id") " Acer_liquidE_1.100.03_pa_prog"
E: error in /sdcard/update.zip

Any solution for this? I have fido liquid e but malez is conflicting and gives assertion error

delete the update.zip file or remove it from your SD Card and run the Acer DownloadTool again. AcerTool flashes a .bin file if you are using it correctly.
Just upgraded my Liquid E to 2.2. I followed the instructions in the PDF and it worked fine. I would try copying the files to the SD card again.
I'm totally lost on this. I have 2.1 stock with Malez recovery installed on it. No matter what I do, I just cannot get it to work?
Is there a step by step instruction on how to "flash" a bin file and then upgrade it for Fido phone? I have Acer Liquid E Fido. I have been working on it for 2 days now and cannot get it to work.
edit: finally got it to work by installing another (10 different) version first and reinstalling a one that doesn't have the assert

Sorry, but you can not install the acer rom. Because you are not using original rogers eclair, or you've flashed Malez recovery.
There is a couple ways you could get around this.
1. There is a Modified rom based on the official acer release at Modaco.com. It doesn't make any assert checks.
2. If you have the original rogers eclair kickin around you could flash it onto your device. You might need to flash a 2.1 eclair bin(leak) first depending on what you're running now. Once this is done you'll be able to use the acer official, and pass all assert checks.
Spice MI 300 :- Want to update from 2.1 to 2.2
Hi every one
i have a spice android phone MI-300 and want to update the 2.1 version to 2.2 manually could anyone of you guide me how to do it on my own as I dont think the company is upcoming with and 2.2 upgrade.
Please help
Abhishek
The simplest way of doing it would be flashing the latest malez recovery. Then using acer download and flashing the proper generic 1.0 rom. After then you should have went to acer website and downloaded a european (generic 2.2 rom) followed directions and did the proper upgrade. You can also apply the patch after (under patches tab)
Worked like a charm for me back in the day.

[Q] Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 stuck at boot...Need assistance!!!

Hi,
I rooted my Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 & tried to install CM custom Rom (cm-7.2.0-cooper.zip ).
Here, at first I was getting an error:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") =="cooper" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "cooper................
I read somewhere to delete a couple of lines from a file in the above mentioned zip file.
I did that that & it worked. Between all this, i might have used ROM Manager to boot into recovery. THATS IT!!!
But now on boot, i get a screen where only 'ANDROID' is written in white & its stuck there.
I did take a backup before doing all this & tried to restore the same.
But now I get stuck at a different stock boot screen with the phone name & model written.
All I have access to is the CWM recovery(4.0.0.9)
Really need help here.
Thanks & Regards.

rooting gone horribly wrong

Hello people,
I have a problem, actually more then one.
I tried rooting my s2 mini from a guide, installed clockworkmod-5.0.2.8.tar via Odin and now i'm blocked in the recovery menu.
i know there were people here having the same problem, but... every time i reset i get gt-7500 instead of gt-6500 text, so i'm not sure but i think the phone got screwed up.
i've tried to flash cm version 10.1 for 6500 mini but after some text it says
e:error in /sdcard/ (the cm version name.zip)
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
so i tried to flash a 7500gt rom and the installation worked ( i know , lol.. but i was curious)
even so , i'm still blocked in cwm recovery
After more searches on the forum i found a "cwm-6.0.3.3-jena.tar" so i decided to flash this and get rid of that pesky cwn 7500 messing with the phone but.. odin is stuck at "setup connection"
i did try to remove battery for a while, change usb port, get newest odin, restart pc, sacrifice a chicken on a shrine, yet nothing worked...
any ideas? i'm a noob so... any help would be much appreciated.
First reflash Stock ROM via Odin (find it on SamMobile page and search for appropriate version for example if you have S6500D model than search for that model or if you have S6500 (without D/T/L) than search for that ROM). After installing ROM go back to download mode and flash latest CWM. And after this method you can flash CM10/CM10.1 or any other ROM you want.
Sent from Nuclear Reactor (also known as I9300)
I think you should try sacrificing a pig or sheep. Chicken's aren't so reliable !
Also you might try the old drown'em in a lake then burn them..but it's very hard to get the pig to drown.

Failed to install cyanogen cm-11-2014*-icong.zip . Busted my Phone.. Help Urgent!

Hi, I read lots of posts here in xda on how to install custom ROM on my HTC Salsa, lot of times i felt bad as the posts always required my phone to be S-OFF. I couldn't find a nice and easy solution for this.
However somewhere i read that it is not mandatory to have S-OFF and which is when i just started experimenting on my phone.
I did unlock the bootloader from HTC dev . But i still have S-on.
I downloaded some *i9500 custom ROM and copied it to my downloads folder in sdcard. Tried to install the zip from sdcard from my CWM Recovery and it failed always. But then i thought that it could be the problem with image which i downloaded as it is not supported. So then i found one more post for HTC Salsa and downloaded the image from the link given in there.
Here is the link of that post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2745185
Here is the link from where i downloaded the zip : http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/icong/
Here is the image which i downladed : cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY-icong.zip
After getting into CWM Recovery i tried to install the same and at first it looked that it is going to install but in some time i get some error like
set_metadata_recursive.... error STATUS 7. INSTALLATION ABORTED.
Then i thought i was doing to wrong and as per some post .. i formatted all the /boot /system /sdcard ....partitions listed in CWM.
Now my sdcard is completely formatted .
After i copy my image there and try to install the same :
I get :
--Installing: /sdcard/cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY-icong.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
E: Error in .sdcard/cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY-icong.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
I can't even reboot to my old ROM. .. Not sure if its lost completely. .. Need help urgently.
Please help me recover or reinstall any ROM just for my phone to come back to life again.
Please help
Please help!!!. I am not sure if my post will die here.

If your using the new icong_g CM11 then you require the installation of the new cwm 6 recovery. if you follow the guides correctly then you won't have any issues.
can i ask why you thought about trying a different model phones software on this? it would only cause some serious issues lol.
and to answer the question when u wipe and clean of any data then it will leave the original OS in place unless you flash another then its that one that replaces it

If your using the new icong_g CM11 then you require the installation of the new cwm 6 recovery. if you follow the guides correctly then you won't have any issues.
can i ask why you thought about trying a different model phones software on this? it would only cause some serious issues lol.

Actually when i tried to install the icong_g CM11 i think it tried to flash but the installation aborted with error 7 as i mentioned earlier and so my old ROM was washed away i guess.
Somewhere i again read i need CWM 5.0.3 and so i tried that as well. Still getting the error.
Where can i find CWM recovery 6 for HTC Salsa.?
What are the mount/unmount options should i follow. Like /system, /data. Should they be mounted or unmounted before installing the zip.
Please help me solve the problem.
Why i am failing to install the cm-11*icong all the time with error 0. Do i really need to upgrade my CWM recovery from 5.0.3 to 6 ?
Also please help he flash my phone with manual steps.
I am using Fedora 20 for using fastboot and adb.
Got the link to download the latest recovery image ..Its 6.0.5 from the below link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=4865#downloads
Now i was able to install the custom ROM downloaded from here : http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/icong/
Atleast my phone came to life. Thanks to XDA developers.
But the graphics seem too bad. Can we do anything about it?

Look for raw kernel and flash the appropriate version, then reboot into recovery to install Slim

Hi I am having a similar problem and I apologise as I dont understand what 'raw kernel' you are refering to. I check my phone and it says "PDA: N7000XXLT5". I think this is what you mean?
So I think I probably I flashed the wrong Philz Touch CWM onto my XXLT5. According to the Philz TOuch post, XXLT5 is suppose to use version 5.03.0 but I didnt read this info and installed 5.15.0.
Please advise. thank you!

Read up more on the sticky threads to get a better view of what you're getting into.
1. what are kernels/recoveries and how to install them
2. what problems are there to take note of that you might encounter and how to resolve
3. always do a backup of everything they ask you to
4. prepare a stock rom to fall back on to flash just in case
