[Q] Looking at a strange way to stock my ace? - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
Recently my Ace has stopped charging through the USB port. I tried every cable I could find, even the PC cable, but none charge (and the PC doesn't recognize the phone), so I've come to the conclusion that my phone's port is faulty. I'm still under warranty, so normally I would just send it in.
Here's the tricky part. I have cyanogen mod 7.2 flashed on the phone, and I'd rather send it in stock. Before anyone asks, I DID make a backup of stock the moment I got the phone, but in the 6 months I had it, somethings happened and now it won't go back to it (it recovers up to 'data' then fails)
Anyway, I have an external battery charger which lets me charge just the battery, so I'm not on some weird doomclock, and have a 16 gb SD card, and an adapter which lets me load stuff onto it directly from a computer. My ace is the Telstra variant which runs on the S5830TDVKQ3 ## rom, but to be honest I'll be happy to get any ace stock rom onto it.
I was thinking that I could go back to stock by flashing stock kernel, then bootloader, and then rom, then stock recovery? The only problem is, I have no idea how to split up the firmware from SamMobile into those parts and have them flash-able. I've seen a similar thread to this on about a galaxy nexus but not for the ace, can anyone help me out?

I havent touched ODIN since last year and I've used it once but to my understanding ODIN reverts everything to stock rom. Flash with the 3-5 package rather than the one package version.
Someone else will have to fill with more information/correct me.

Only problem is that ODIN works through download mode via USB cable, and my port doesn't work at all! :crying:

Then get a stock based rom which is flashable through CWM.
Like stocklite.....But it has some tweaks. So replace systemui.apk, framework-res.apk and touchwiz launcher with stock ones.
And then remove superuser and flash.

[Q] Phone turns off when plugged in via usb

Samsung captivate shuts off when plugged in via usb. is there a fix for this or am i pwned?
Windows 7
stock captivate
Can you power the phone back up while the USB is plugged in, or does it stay shut off no matter what when the USB is in?
Have you tried to hold Vol+/Vol- and then insert the USB when the phone is powered off to see if you can get into download mode?
Yes i can get it into download mode, and no it will not power up while plugged in via usb.
If you can get into download mode, you have two basic options:
1. Warranty service - if you're still on a stock rom, just tell them what's happening and see if they'll give you a new one without that problem.
2. Flash a custom ROM and see if the problem clears up. If it doesn't, and you can still get to download mode, just flash back to stock and see option #1.

I suppose you could try the Odin 1 click Gingerbread KF1. It's on the development thread somewhere.

Sorry, just realized that wasn't clear.
Look here. This is an instruction set for how to flash to stock Gingerbread, including flashing a kernel that (I think) has CWM built in. Once you have CWM, you can flash a custom GB rom.
If you want to make sure you get all the way, you could then flash a Rom like Mosaic, which I can say for certain has CWM.

Thanks for the intel! Oddly enough i put the stock battery back in and plugged it into my Vista machine and it did'nt shut down. Once i flash the kernel with odin can i reboot into CWM and flash any rom? or is the kernel rom specific?

Usually you'll want to match roms and kernels based on the rom maker's suggestions. It's possible to mix them, but I wouldn't recommend it just yet.
For example (Mosaic again, as it's what I know), Mosaic VI is using the Darkcore kernel. It's possible to use the Talon kernel on it, but the recommended one is Darkcore.
Just remember if you do go to Gingerbread (and I cannot stress this enough):
YOU ARE FLASHING BOOTLOADERS. IF YOU DO NOT TAKE CARE AND READ AND REREAD AND UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING, YOU HAVE THE VERY REAL RISK OF BRICKING YOUR PHONE (TO A POINT BEYOND NORMAL REPAIR METHODS).

Recover Samsung Galaxy Note

Hi people. By one mistake i've flashed a ROM to Samsung Galaxy SII on Samsung Galaxy Note. Now I need to recover it because I've not maked a backup (I know that was an big mistake). In Samsung Galaxy S I usually flash a good kernel with Odin and after that I flash a good ROM and it make the phone work with the old data but it don't was the binary counter like Samsung Galaxy Note. If I can't recover it without ODIN i think that I can buy a USB JIG for Note and put the binary counter to zero.
Any idea about what can I do?
thanks

OK, as long as you can get into Download Mode, we'll get you out of trouble.
Download this file.
Password : samfirmware.com
Extract the files from the zip in a folder on your PC. This is the Rom you're going to flash.
Then download Odin if you don't have it.
Then go to this post and follow the instructions to the letter. That's an easy guide for flashing Roms using Odin, with pictures and all. Your Rom belongs to
- If your downloaded ROM contains single file
part of instructions.
After flashing your phone, it will reboot. Sometimes your Note can get stuck in a bootloop at this point. If it happens, don't panic. Pull out your battery, wait for a bit, put it back. Put your phone into Recovery mode by pressing
Volume Up + Home + Power
Once in recovery, do a factory reset and reboot. Everything should be fine.
Once all this is done, you'll have a stock Rom. If you want to root it, tell me, and I'll walk you through.
Hope this helps.

Thank you. But with this file I just can flash an entire ROM and I go lost my data and that is a trouble to me :s
I need a flashable kernel with CWM just this. After that I will install my old ROM and recover my data and after this I will make a new clean install. This is what I make in Galaxy S and I hope it work on Galaxy Note.
I cant lose the data in my phone :s

When flashing SGSII Rom on Note you have ruined your bootloader, so I'm afraid there's no way you are going to get your old Rom back, sorry.

I realize what your saying here but the general consensus seems to be that separate flashing of various parts of the phone like a bootloader, radio, kernel, and ROM as individual items might not be a viable option on the Galaxy Note.

Hi
I am having samsung note 1 and it went to bootloop stage after updating some firmware. Is it possible to recover the data without loss. I didnt take any backup. Please help on this.. thanks
what rom are you on? If ics then flash a safe kernel using odin and boot into recovery mode CWM and do a nandroid backup. this will secure all your apps and data.. then do a data factory reset and get the phone working

Yo, any change you can share that flashable speedmod?
Because I'm having the same issue, although I followed the steps on ODIN. It just doesnt want to finalize the process.
The progress bar stopped moving after 95%-ish.

Are you really sure you have the identical situation here? Did you really flash a S2-Rom on your Galaxy Note?
If not open a new thread in Q&A and describe exactly what you did and what error messages you get in Odin.

[ROM][STOCK][jro03e][i9020t] With Touch Clockwork Recovery factory image

This is the stock image (flashable via fastboot) from here, with the recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-crespo.img in place of the factory recovery.
Download
I intended it for ease of running stock with cwm, and to have all the useful things for getting back to stock in one place, or to recover from a bad flash...etc.
It is not rooted, straight stock jro03e, no mods (other than swapping recovery).
I'm not going to do a cwm version, get fastboot running!
If you want root, flash root from the attachment in this post.
Good idea! :good:
Thanks Man!!!
This will help my nexus during the continue flashing!!!

Hey i have a stock NS tmo running ICS and I want to unlock it, get CWM, so i can try a JB ROM..... But the problem is my micro usb is broken or something I cant connect to a pc or a mac via the file manager nor via cmd/fastboot.
So my question is this is i flash this via fastboot will it replace the stock recovery even though Im not unlocked?

Hmmm....I never tried it while locked, but you will need your usb working even if it is locked. This is all via fastboot over usb.
I would try a different usb cable, beyond that it sounds like it may be a hardware problem, and I don't know how to fix that.
I updated the first post for JRO03E with touch cwm.
tnx!

[Help] Not booting phone, colored screen

I have tried lately to flash ics rom on my rooted captivate which was running 2.2 stock froyo but I made two mistakes that made me fear that it was bricked
- I removed the CWM recovery folder from the internal sd card. As a result, when I reboot the phone, it starts as usual but get stucked in the Samsung galaxy S screen.
- Trying to fix that, I tried to install a custom recovery image using Heimdall suite and with the download mode, but after flashing it, the situation worsened (may be because it was destinated to android 2.3.) and when I rebooted the phone, I get tha At&t logo and then the screen becomes an assembly of colored lines.
The only good news is that I still can access the download mode. I did nothing else to not complicate the situation.
So do you think the phone is hard bricked now? And is there a solution to relieve it? Thank you in advance

Basically, you get that screen cause you don't have the right bootloaders. Get stock KK4 with Odin (or Heimdall) one click. You'll find the sticky in the Dev section.
From there, you can flash Corn kernel to get root and after flash w/e ROM you'd like to run.

Yes, that's what you need. You don't have the right BLs to run the ROM you flashed so you'll need to flash them (KK4 with BLs).

[Q] USB not working, just charging. Bricked or damaged by wiping system or data?

Hello guys, you're the only hope to fix this, I'm sure! I'm facing a very annoying issue, (I'm having an old BL) mine USB cable is not working properly (just charges the phone, and nothing more happens, all drivers are up - to-date. Strange bug, happened after few days while being on CM 10.1. I don't know if that is related but while using CM10.1 I used battery calibration app , tried to solve that long charging issue D) after using cm10.1 I have advance-wiped not only cache, dalvik, but also system, data , etc..then moved to 7.2 stable, still got no USB functions, computer just does not see my phone(tried 3 computers using windows 7 32/64 bit,Nvflash is also not seeing the device.) I wonder if someone could help me to fix that mess. Really would like to flash a stock rom, but nothing except charging is working. I forgot to mention that while being on Cm10.1 I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800935 to mount storage, also some google mounting apps with no luck. CWM also does not mount mass storage. What could be wrong? Help will be appreciated ! :good:
If your cable is not working properly, only charge your phone, then there is no way to use nvflash, smartflash or cwm to copy rom to your internal sdcard. What you can do is that you buy a new cable or borrow one from your friends or from someone. If you have external sdcard then use a cardreader to copy rom to your phone.

Oh okay okay I got it now.
You were on old bootloader right? If so then I am uploading a backup of gingerbread v20s.
Do you remember what version of rom did you have before you flashed cm? So We could match up the baseband and the rom.
Do you want to replace cwm recovery with stock recovery?
What version of cwm do you have? It is essential to know, because backup formats are differs between cwm versions

Yeah, Im on an old bootloader, because lots of roms use this BL. I flashed Gb V20 d or e, i don't know now, because these days I'm not at home. Tomorrow will be able to look at my computer and tell you the exact version. Probably its v20d.for baltic countries.now just need to backup it, remove Root, clockworkmod and take a phone to warranty. Its the only way to do it. Very change how these chips go out. Confusing . after all, very thank you for your help!
*Okay, I watched the version which was flashed previously CM, it was BIN_LGP990AT-00-V20c-BAL-XXX-MAR-16-2012-0. I'm uploading it to the dropbox, it will take time, because of the DSL upload speed (76 kb/s). Can I ask you to make a backup of this ROM, using CWM 6.0.3.1 with a root? Here's the link, it might be uploaded after 3 or more hours. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64768144/BIN_LGP990AT-00-V20c-BAL-XXX-MAR-16-2012-0.zip very thank you if you can !
