Hi everyone,
First of all I'd like to say I'm new to the wonderful world Android so please forgive me if my question is a simple one.
I'd like to know how i could revert my Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830i) back to the stock ROM.
I would like to do this as i recently rooted and installed a custom ROM, thinking that this would enhance my phone. It did not turn out this way and now I'm left with a buggy and less functional phone.
I know that it is custom to search the net before posting and i have done this. I believe that I am supposed to use a program called 'Odin' and i need a ROM for my phone. I have searched and searched all day for the relevant ROM but have had no luck.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, if anyone could offer me any help i would be so grateful.
Thanks, Curtis.
P.S. (almost forgot)
The details of my phone are below:
Make: Samsung
Model: GT-S5830i
PDA(Don't know what this means): S5830iXXLA2
PHONE: S5830iXXLD2
[quote="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552792]
If you have "bricked" your s5830i a.k.a stuck at samsung logo just download Odin and flash PDA.tar form the link.

Everything you're doing is up to you!I'm not responsible if you don't read!There's a binary counter on s5830i so be careful with flashing!

Wow, thanks for the quick reply!
The second link you provided has helped me boat loads, thanks.
I've downloaded the checkFUS downloader and managed to get the correct ROM. I then installed cygwin (with the zip component) and attempted to run the command but its throwing me the error "File In Use" but i ran the prgram "Unlocker" which checks if a file is in use and it reported that the file wasn't in use. Very confused.
Thanks again for that reply!.

hey man, thanks for your response.........
i did my research of course and had a little idea now on how to do the rooting, but just wanted to see if there are different instructions on rooting a device.
since the OP said he have just rooted it, might as well ask him to point me to the right direction.
i believed, i have also said that i will appreciate that info.
coming from a totally different device, i hope you understand why am i asking? since a thread has been opened already.

look around the development thread, and use google. from those, i was able to unlock, root, and install enom's ROM w/o too much trouble. using the 'spare parts' app in enom's ROM, you can uninstall things you couldn't before, like amazon.mp3, for which i have no use.
i don't know about proxy wifi settings, never had to mess with it. that seems like a browser condition, not a ROM condition tho. could fix thru router tho, if you're at home. MAC address proxy assignment would be your best bet, i would think.
only rooted apps i use are adfree, andexplorer, and metamorph, i think.
but, i am able to push whatever i want
Greetings to everyone. I haven't spent much time here lately but last month I've got myself a I9000, so I will keep it short.
Is there a possibility to find .apk for the new Samsung Task Manager version 1.6, and will it work on the froyo firmware XWJPA.
Thanks in advance for any answeres.
P.S. I've searched the forums but couldn't find the answer.

No idea if it will work on JPA but I just took the app and widget from my JVB so try it if you want, if it works post so others will know ok.

Downloading app. It seems that I need to deodex my rom to try this. Doing it now. Someone should try this also.
EDIT: Tried all but failed with the message: Problem parsing file.
Any solutions perhaps?

Don't think you needed to deodex as it came from official stock JVB ROM, did you just install it like a regular apk?
Use Root Explorer and go to /system/app/ mount it as R/W and move (not copy) the apk's there.
Let me know if that sorts the problem, it's how I've got apps from SGS 2 to run on mine.
Ha! This is just not going to work. Tried simple copying/moving to system/app/ and no luck. If anyone finds a way he can post it here.
Thanks for your help DMD9. A greatly appreciate it.

What did you move them with? If you just used the built in file manager then it won't work, you need to use Root Explorer with the folder mounted as R/W.
Happy to help, but would be happier if you actually get it working
Yes, I used root explorer and mounted the file system. I know that much There is no chance. If you have some other idea I am willing to try it, if not, I'll wait for the official app if it comes out.

Hello,
I managed to bootloop my 4XHD (yay!), and I'm just trying to restore it to the stock firmware. The phone was rooted of course, I don't have CWM though if that makes any difference. Anyway I'm following this "super in-depth guide" on how to flash it, and it says I'll need a KDZ file that I want to flash. I have no clue where to get one though, so any help here would be appreciated. Also if you've got any tips on what I should be careful of when flashing, please let me know.
Cheers,
Hathz

Mhm, well I would kind of assume the information is stated in the tutorial (hence it's called a tutorial). Anyway, I got a KDZ from lg-phone-firmware and it looks like it sucessfully flashed V10A Euro Open (not quite sure when to know cause the dumb program doesn't say anything , but I assume it's done since It's basically turned on and I'm in the android basic setup screen).
Anyway there really should be some information in big red bold text in that topic for dump people like me, saying like "HERE U CAN HAZ FIRMWARE".
Will post again after I confirm that flash is sucessful and the phone is ready to be (ab)used again!
The phone seems to be working fine, I've already updated to V10F.
Anyway as I said, perhaps a huge link to the lg-phone-firmware would be a nice thing to have on that topic

Once that you're using the Euro_open, probably is better to upgrade to V10G.
I didn't saw any difference but, some persons said they noted some improvement...
It's up to you, now you know how to do it
And you're partly right about the tutorial.
Its a litle messed, starting with the phone name, etc... but, the OP should edit that, to someone else post another one, even if better, is a "little" against the forum rules (double posting).
Maybe one day some moderator do something about that

So I recently purchased a Logitech k400 keyboard/trackpad combo for my raspberry pi, as well as taking it around with my N10 if necessary. However, for whatever reason, the tablet just won't recognize the keyboard plugged in over OTG. I've tested it on my N7 and it works like a charm. I've done some research and realized that this is pretty much universal.
Is there any way to get the N10 to recognize the keyboard? An app or something?
Thanks!
The drivers for the Unifying receiver are not included in the N10 Kernel.
With the Kernel from craigacgomez it will work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998585&highlight=unify
You can find his standalone Kernels here:
http://goo.im/devs/craigacgomez/manta/
I'm using the "manta-kernel-stock-cgomez.23112012.zip" and its working pretty good.
Hopefully Google will add the drivers with the next Update.
Works properly with KToonz Kernel as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015874
Am i just supposed to flash those over stock, or is there a custom ROM that goes with them?
I flashed "manta-kernel-stock-cgomez.23112012" over Stock 4.2.2.
I have some "normal Nexus 10 Problems" with reboots and lags, but I'm quite sure its not the Kernel.
Try both and tell us your experiences

I have purchased N10 two days back and I was really disappointed when my logitech keyboad did not work. I see you could get working. Can you please help me to install required drivers. Please note that I am very new to android. After looking at few videos and links I have understood rooting and flashing but still not very clear. So I will appreciate if you can explain me step by step procedure to get my keyboard working. I am really sorry if I am asking too much. But I would be really thankful to you if you can help me.

Hi Glensta,
No I have never rooted any android device. That is why I have been reading about it. So following are the option which I though of trying.
You have asked to get flashable zip file from below link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015874
I hope below is zip file
http://www.mediafire.com/download/spi7ichqvf32dz1/KTManta-05-14-2013.zip
Not sure how to flash zip file. So downloaded toolkit from below link. It has all options like root, flash, boot...... but not sure what is the correct way as I am afraid that I may get into issues.
http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
I downloaded toolkit from above link. Install required drivers for toolkit to couple with nexus 10. Now I think I am one or two step away from what I need to do but I am afraid to do that. Do I need to always root android device to flash zip file?
If you think that I should not get into all these issues and drop this idea then let me know. I really don’t want to damage on my new N10.

Hi rbirahul - I'm sure the wugfresh toolkit works fine. I prefer this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001868.
start there and then follow the steps I've suggested already. There's plenty of info out there and it's not as hard as it seems. Believe me I've put plenty & plenty of hours into learning and made plenty of mistakes, but never damaged my nexus 10 beyond repair. You'll need to do your home work.

I don't know this ROM, but the way of installation is for all CustomRoms the same.
Look in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400123
The same principle is valid for your ROM.
Works also if you are using TWRP instead of CWM.
If it is the first time that you try to install a custom Rom, you should be carefull, read the whole thread to learn about the procedure!
