[Q] Think I've made a mistake - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

what I did:
- installed cwm
- installed cm7
- installed a different version of cwm
- installed cm9
If I turn on my phone, it loads up CM9 (ICS copy) that I found on this forum and installed on my phone using cwm.
I think I have a problem, because if I press the power button > reboot > recovery mode. The screen turns off, but when turning back on, a screen flashes up saying Samsung-Gio and some model number that is not my phone (too quick to see the numbers). I then get into the recovery menu.
If I try to install a different ROM or a different version of cwm to the one currently installed I get the assert failed: getprop error. When trying to install a different cwm the errors are related to model numbers. When trying a different rom, I get errors to do with the name of the rom.
Have I installed the wrong version of cwm? I'm really unsure what to do.
I tried doing a restore using the cwm, but my phone would get stuck on the boot screen. I can reinstall CM9 no problem, and I can re install the second copy of cwm that I downloaded.
Ideally, I would like to run CM7, or do a complete reset to stock rom

Try flashing the CWM for Galaxy Ace. Find it in this forum.
I think that you flashed CWM for Gio lol
But that's interesting, the recovery for Gio works in Ace lol

forgive me, but when you say flash the cwm for galaxy ace. I assume you mean go into recovery mode -> install from sd card -> cwm.zip etc?
I've tried doing that and I get assert failedrop(..) errors related to model numbers. I'm guessing it's telling me that the cwm version is not suitable for my phone, because it thinks I have a gio. Funny how it didn't tell me that when I was installing the gio cwm using the galaxy ace cwm.

I think your phone just evolved from ace to gio. lol. Maybe you can now flash some roms that are for gio. But dont try it yet as you might hard brick ur ace. Maybe you can go to download mode and flash a stock rom via odin. We need some more solutions as this is a rare case.

The assert failure is easy to fix .
Just edit the updater-script .

[Q] My Ace got stuck up on boot loop screen... Plz help !!!

Hi,

The files i transferred to the sd card :
1.) recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix
2.) upd_1
As instructed on tutorial guide... first i installed clockwork 5.... its done without any errors.... after that i tried "upd_1", which aborted installation with some "(status 7)" error..... after that i rebooted cell and gone for factory reset..... after that my ace got stucked up on boot loop screen.... cant go any furthur..... same step repeats many many times..... but no result......
I tried 2 guides....

I'll appreciate any help regarding my boot loop problem.....
Thanks & Regards
Status 7 error relates to errors in updater script,it should not have been ignored like that.Furthermore,upd_1.zip is a root package for GB roms,not ICS roms,so wrong bin file there.Can you get to download mode? Or,atleast recovery?
Same problem
Hi I have the same problem just keeps cycling through the Samsung boot screen on a loop. I can get into Download mode and also I can boot into recovery. I downloaded a stock rom S5830XWKPN_S5830SWKP6_S5830XEUKP1_HOME Then I used odin 4.38 and clicked on OPS and used cooper_v1.0.ops and then clicked on one package and clicked on the zip of the stock rom I downloaded. Everything seemed to go well, but then the phone got stuck on this loop of the Samsung boot screen. I hope that you can help please.
Best regards Wez

hmmm I think he's still in GB. I think he means he's trying to prepare his ace to flash ICS rom cause obviously you can't flash ICS with stock recovery.
as for the op... try using stock recovery and flash upd_1? thats what I did.

Make a wipe in standart or full wipe in custom and flash again with odin! It will surely help

Is the phone bricked? I have tried using packages from Odin and One Click Unbrik but they both fail, I can get into download mode, but I cannot get into recovery mode. It just says ARM9 or something whenever I try. Is there a solution yet?
i fixed my phone i kept on having boot loops after falshing single packing so i turned the phone off then hold power and home till you come to recovery option wipe cache and i think its factory reset or full wipe so do both wipes then reboot phone WALA my phone was working hope this helps and dont forget to tick thanks button :good:
boot loop with other issues too...
hi there guys. I'm new to this forum and also to flashing...
but anyways I had a good look before flashing my phone but still messed it up...silly me
I tried rooting my phone via SD card(first clockwork mod ace 4 followed by clockwork mod 5 as said in tutorial) then upd_1 and then cm9. But after installing clockwork mod ace 4 I get :" E: failed to mount/ system (invalid argument)" same happens when trying to wipe cache partition/ data/ factory reset.
I can get into android system recovery no problems and also into odin download mode (where it gives you the warning and prompts you to press volume up if you still want to continue. It is also stuck on the samsung screen if I don't press anything.
But when trying to connect the phone to odin in order to rectify what I've done (with the one package methode, either gingerbread or cmw9) odin won't detect my phone. I used several different cables, original samsung cables, changed usb ports (directly off the motherboard) but to no avail.
heimdall will recognise the phone as far as I can see (when you click on detect device it says: "device detected") but I cannot find the right files I need to use for heimdall. I would very much appreciate any help and advice. Please point me in the right direction, show me where to download the correct files and which ones and please bear in mind I'm a noob. put it as plain as bread for me please :good:
just flash clockworkmod 5 and format system and data...
do a complete wipe ...clear cache,, wipe dalvik
then mount system and data and install any of ur modded stock or cm7... enjoy
---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------
many roms are pre rooted plus u dont need rooot access to flash rom
to flash CustomROM u dont need to root first our ace simply flash CWM 5 and put your CustomROM flashable .zip to your sdcard and then fullwipe (data,cache,advantage) and done.....
most of CustomROM now can directly flash from previous or Other CustomROM without flash to StockROM first..

It changes everything. 5830 is completely different from 5830i (they only share the name). Roms and mods for 5830 might brick your phone, so be careful.

(even reinstalled windows and all the phones drivers also tried installing drivers with zadig, after reinstall of windows the phone was finally found there but still no luck for odin)

installing cyanogen mod 9 and clockwork mod recovery doesnt work on rooted gt-s5830L

I rooted my gt-s5830L and installed clockworkmod recovery i granted it superuser permissions, and did the fix permissions thingie on it too when i reboot my phone, get the boot window from the phone and not clockwork mode i downl;oaded the cooper stable version from the get.cm website getDOTcm/?device=cooper&type=stable and have it in the root of the sd card, i proceed to load it from the phones boot menu update from sd card, and it gives me an error and abots the operation.
i think the issue resides this rom is not available for gt-s5830l, is there a way to make my phone to gt-s5830, or if there's modified rom for gt-s5830l thanks

You can't change the model..
I'll advice you to not flash any s5830 rom for s5830L
they are different models, and i doubt if they have the same hardware.
Maybe just stay on 2.3.6: http://smartandroidsolutions.blogsp...ing-galaxy-ace-gt-s5830l-to.html#.UCD88_Ygdlw

Wrong, 5830 and 5830L are the same phone, released for different regions in different basebands.
Roms, kernels and scripts for 5830 work just as well for 5830L. If the roms are giving you crap, then you probably messed something up when flashing. Renenber to do the wipes before and after, use the appropiate cwm and follow the instructions (some roms require multiple reboots before becoming usable).
I have a 5830L, been flashing stuff for the 5830 for 8 months, everything works.

Hi Dx, can you point me on the right direction? i think i've succesfully rooted the phone, otherwise i would have a notification from the cwm neeeded to get the superuser access, alas when rebooting i get the same boot screen from phone and not the cwm one. i've got the cwm from the android market.
i posted the link i got the get cm is this the right one from my phone? since you also have 5830L would you mind sharing me the cyanogenmod9 rom you used for it? this is not the first time i'm rooting and running cyanogenmod. i've done it in the past with a lg p500 optiomus one and worked perfectly. i hope you can help me. thanks
s5830 different from s5830L in baseband, my your device will harm

[PARTIALLY-SOLVED] Galaxy Ace S5830 - Can't boot into cwm recovery

Dear Community, greetings.
I have a problem as wrote in the title: I can't boot into cwm recovery. I am gonna try to summarize the main points that lead me here.
Assumption​
I used to install custom ROMS flawlessy, following always the instruction etc...
Last rom I've installed was CM7.2 Apocalypse, Project Silk and Link2SD
I needed to restore stock rom
I searched with Google and came across the following solutions
I searched on XDA and came across the following solutions
What I have done...​
I flashed using odin 4.38 -> GB 2.3.6 2012 October 2.3.6 S5830XWKTS S5830ITVKT2 downloaded from sammobile.com
I rooted the phone with upd_1.zip (that is attached to this thread)
I tried to install recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip
...and trying to boot into recovery pushing POWER BT + HOME BT the phone stucks on the screen with "Galaxy GT-S5830" and the top-left corner was green
What I have done #2​
I tried to use S5830XXKA6 but I dind't neither managed to boot properly (wiped data/factory and cache)
Tried to flash CWM directly with Odin using "One Package"
Could you kindly help me out?:fingers-crossed: I am also willing to give you further information as you ask.
Thanks everyone for your time.:good:
F.
---- PARTIAL FIX by myself ----
1. Format the sdcard in linux with GParted (you need to install android-tools-adb, android-tools-fastboot)
2. Flashed stock firmware S5830XWKTS S5830ITVKT2 with ODIN Multidownloader 4.38 (downloadeble from www.sammobile.com under ITALY)
3. Rooted with upd_1.apk and updated with Superuser 3.0 (attached)
4. Installed CWM 6.0.1.4
5. Restore an old backup of mine.
6. Rejoice

First of all, thank you very much for the reply. Then, the answer is yes and no. I flashed several firmwares. Some of them did work, others don't. Right now I managed to use the one I've mentioned before and
S5830XWKT7_S5830ITVKT1_ITV
S5830XWKP6_XWKPN
but trying S5830_XXKA6 it goes in bootloop also wiping data and cache.
Further information:
I noticed a problem with CSC. While booting in standard recovery an error message appeared saying something like "can't open /system/csc/XEU/system", so I've created the whole directory path and put the files that were in /system/csc inside. This issue is fixed. I am going to investigate and let you know if with other firmware I listed above I get the same behaviour.

[Q] S5830 getting stuck in Samsung splash screen at bootup

Hi All.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 that I was trying to flash with
a custom ROM.
The problem is that it's always getting soft-bricked.
It gets stuck at the Samsung splash screen.
I have tried 5 or more different ROMS for this, but the result is
always the same, although confirmation message always say that
"installation was succcessful".
Needed to flash with stock ROM via Odin, just to be able to recover
phone.
I believe that I'm doing the steps correctly, I have a rooted phone, I
always wipe data/cache/dalvik cache using CWM recovery before
installing the ROM from the SD root directory.
Is there something I am missing here? Any advice?

most of the time it gets stuck in animation itself if you don't wipe..always make a wipe for clean install
im sorry for asking such a question, but are you sure you are not on froyo?

[Q] how to identify my problem with flashing roms?

i have been flashing roms now since january this year. I've already flashed a lot for both the Gio and the Ace.
Now I'm running into this same problem again with several roms:
when I want to flash the rom, it returns me a status 7 error. Why? I don't know. I've tried already so much: md5 checksum, downloading again, formatting my sdcard partition
I have it with many roms (cm 7 blackhawk / firekernel, cm 10.1.1 mardon, cm10 maclaw etc etc).
I would like to find out what the problem is and possibly how I can solve it.
Maybe there is a problem with your recovery install. You could try to install that again.
Try to toggle signature verification in cwm. Or just reflash the recovery.

thanks. I've tried this but even reflashing my cwm file returns a status 7 error
but flashing my px-cwm v2.zip recovery completed.
I managed to install cwm 6.0.3.2 (although it still says 5.0.2.6) and still i'm getting all these status 7 errors.
the error is " assert failed". Is it possible that cwm isn't able to "read" the several getprop requests from my phone?
Or should the line in script update be changed with removing the spaces between the getprop for cooper and the getprop for gt-s5830?

Ok. In that case there is an error with your recovery.
@The Others: Would it help to flash a Samsung Firmware via Odin? Would that replace the recovery?

Try it if you know what you are doing.

Hi nikwen, yes, to flash via Odin will replace the recovery with the stock recovery. Cheers.

i've flashed a stock rom with mobile odin.
After that: i've tried to flash the cm10.1.3 rom from mardon. It returned a status 0 error. After that, I've flashed cwm 6.0.3.2 and tried to flash the rom again. Still a status 7 error.
Is it possible that maclaw's cm9 or cm10 have changed something in my Phone which causes that i'm unable to flash anything anymore? I only get status 7 errors. When i follow the suggested steps at XDA to get rid of these errors (read: delete the assert lines in updater script) the status 7 errors are replaced by status 6 errors.
when i'm in cm9 and execute getprop in terminal, the ro.product.build / devide / model = cooper (no gt-s5830).
the label on my Phone (which is located underneath the battery) says gt-s5830.
How do I get rid of the maclaw history and return to the completely Original rom to see if I can flash from there?

Are there differences between Odin and Mobile Odin? If there are some, flashing using the desktop one might help.
Cooper is the codename for our Ace. So that is ok.
I've tried 2 stock roms now. Neither can boot. I've reflashed the 5.0.2.6 cwm recovery because that one is the only one that can restore my cm9 backup. I'm lost... I don't know what to do now because there is simply no way of getting a different rom on this Phone and i would really like to know why.
What did maclaws rom do that f*ck*d up my Phone?

You could send them an email.
Flash stock via PC using odin. You will be stuck in a bootloop. Reboot into recovery & factory reset. Reboot & phone boots. Now, important , you cannot flash custom Roms via stock recovery. Place the cwm 5.0.2.6 zip on sd card. Reboot into recovery , select " install update from sd card ", select the zip file, select yes & reboot. Again reboot into recovery, do full wipes & select " install zip from sd card " & NOT " install update from sd card " & flash any stock based Rom like Touchwiz 5 by Nathan. If you follow this, everything must be fine.

YEs... I managed to flash px recovery 0.4 (again: I still had to delete the assert lines from updater script). Now I was able to flash the cm 10.1.3 rom from Mardon. Just booted for the first time. Hopefully my status 7 errors are now history... (i don't know if I can restore my cm9 backup from maclaw but we will see).

Great.
Do you want to restore it? I prefer 4.2.2.
i prefer not. But it depends on how satisfied I am on this cm 10.1.3 rom. And how many bugs / errors I experience, How smooth/fast it is etc.
When I'm not satisfied, I can Always return to this rom I was most satistied off so far. But I wanted another rom because I have a lot spontaneous reboots when turning on Wifi again....

In case like yours a fresh often install helps, too.

it might, but it also means reinstalling all my apps again. And I do not want to do that
hopefully, this cm10 rom is satisfying enough. I will then stick to it...
