Hi there,
I had 2.3.4 and it had error and decided to install 2.3.5 and now i have a same problem, could you please advise how to make CLEAN installation by deleting all old system files? I did factory reset and cache cleaning before and after installation but that not helps as i guess that not touch system files.
Please advise. Thank you.

go to advanced and then format system, that will clean all system files. You can the flash whatever, make sure you have a backup.

Nope, I dont have cwm recovery on my phone, how to install it?
And is that OK if i perform full system format and only then will install new ROM trough ODIN?
Thanks
I'd just flash a rom that comes with cwm. There's plenty, then yes, Odin flash whatever rom you like.
download JVS from a xda thread or samfirmware.com
flash it via odin1.7 or odin1.8 with repartition ticket
there is many guides floating aaround searching is a good way to start
cheers

well if you have recovery 2e (go into recovery mode and the writing should be blue and say the the top recovery 2e) it's as simple as downloading ROM manager from the market, clicking flash clockwork mod, restarting then booting into recovery. if you're in 3e you might have to use odin
Thank you all! I made root and advanced recovery where I formatted system, made delvik cache, etc, cleaned everything and installed again 2.3.5 but i still receive original error...after call i loose connection and see that error "Sorry! The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." After i push "Force close" connection become available again...
That problem started when i installed 2.3, then i tried 2.3.4 and same error, now after system format on 2.3.5 same error..
Any ideas?
Hi Gurus,
I am getting crazy and desperate after this problem: Samsung Ace GT-S5830, rooted, installed recovery clockwork 5.0.2.6, installed CM10.1 Cooper (tried various RC2, RC6, Nightly..) . The result I always get: as soon as I reboot, after the samsung logo it apperas a white screen for two seconds and then turns all black. I waited some time, 15-20 min, but the phone does not boot!!! This happens with several custom ROM.
When I use ODIN to get to stock firmware is OK, but I am not able to boot with CM10.1.. Please any help!!!
Thanks!
How did you flash it? What options did you pick in recovery? Can you name every option you picked as well?

Thanks for your reply.
These were my actions:
-rooted

-boot to get CWM recovery clockwork
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache
- wipe Dalvik cache
- format system
- installed .zip file from SD card "cm-10.1.0-RC6-GT-S5830-cooper"
-reboot
-whote screen (2 seconds) than stucks with black screen
- tried to reboot many times again wiping data, and cache
Note: the same happens with other CM ROMs, cooper or nightly
Note: using ODIN I am able to restore a stock firmware, but I would like to use CM10.1
It is one week behind this and I am getting crazy here! ;-(
Thanks!!

Check if you're using compatible root. Try using another zip file to root your phone. That could also be the problem.
I will send you the file which worked for me if you want

Yes, please, if you can send me your files because I have tried many different zip files and it fails with all of them.
Do I need to root it again after I reinstalled the stock firmware (e.g. Android 2.3.6)?

Have attached the file. Check it out, though its the same file you used earlier. Use Odin to install Stock Firmware. I was on Gingerbread v2.3.6 when rooted using the attached file. Though you know the steps, let me put it on here.
-Use Odin to install Stock Firmware(You know how to connect the device & work on)
-Once the Stock Firmware is flashed successfully, check if your phone is good to go. Check if everything is working
-Now root your phone using the attached file.

Thanks, after at least 10 attepmts of rooting and reflashing with ODIN I managed to root the phone (confirmed by Root Checker).
(Each root file update.zip, upd_1.zip, root.zip only works with some specific stock firmware, so I managed to finally find the right one for root file update.zip).
NOW: I am trying to install CM10.1 with the following steps:
- Boot into CWM Recovery
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Format /System
- Install zip from SD card / choose ROM zip from SD card
but the boot fails (white screen for 2 seconds than black screen!!!)
I have already tried the following ROMs without success:
cm-10.1-20130503-NIGHTLY-cooper
cm-10.1.0-RC6-GT-S5830-cooper
cm-10.1.0-GT-S5830-cooper++
cooper_PAC_jb-13Dec
My baseband version is Android 2.3.6 with baseband: S5830XWKT7
Do you know which CM10.1 ROMs works well with this baseband???
THANKS!!!!

what's wrong¿?
Did you download the rom file correctly¿? Is the download file corrupted¿?
Is your sdcard corrupted¿? Did you try to format it in fat32 format?¿
Check it and then flash the rom again, CM roms work with whatever baseband you have, only with (2.3.x as base) and you need CWM5.x to flash this roms
IMPORTANT!! 5830I , 5830C and 5830M models aren't suppot!!!

Hello, I have an s3 mini I8190N model, with CM 11.0 kitkat 4.4.4(cm11.0_golden.nova.20150108) installed on it since nearly its release, the phone worked very fine, till today I entered the ROM manager app and pushed the "Boot to Recovery" button, so now it doesn't boot neither to the system nor to the recovery. I remember having CWM on it.
What I get now is only the "Samsung S3 mini..." splash screen, nothing else.
I have these files ready on my computer:
Recovery-CWM-I8190-Official-TOUCH-6.0.2.7.ODIN.zip
cm11.0_golden.nova.20150108.zip
What should I do now ??
You probably soft bricked your phone, I suggest you to check if you still can go into download mode and flash with Odin a wipe file and then a stock rom, once it is working again flash twrp recovery instead of cwm with Odin and try not to use rom manager, I've heard it causes the brick you have.

Not if you flash the wipe file, you can try flashing the stock rom without the wipe but It's recommended to do a clean install. Another option is to flash a file called PARAM to see if it solves the bootloop. But the way I fixed a softbrick in my phone was flashing param, wipe and stock rom in that order with Odin.
Are you able to go into recovery?

I will install TWRP through Odin v3 on the phone, then I'll flash without wiping data, then I'll recover necessary data(especially contacts) and then redo a clean install with wiping all the rubbish files.
I will tell you after I follow these steps on whether it was successful or not.
Thank you very much!

Effectively, I installed the missing recovery software (TWRP), and after that I selected from the boot menu in TWRP the "System" entry, then it booted fine and I didn't lose any of my data. Though I have to make a clean flash next time, by cleaning the dalvik cache... etc.
Thank you for your support!
I'm on twrp 2.8.7, using rapture rom 5.1.1 great but I wanted to fix my dpi settings so I installed the xposed apk and flashed the wanam zip as instructed here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63028102&postcount=3826
Now the weird part is sometimes it will boot but I have to take out the battery let it sit for a few min and it will boot. It will bootloop but sometimes I can get it to boot to recovery twrp. Then I'll flash rapture rom or try my backup but the same thing happens. I've wiped cache/davlik/system/data a few times.
Tried flash xposed recovery disable zip but it says it can't find anything to disable.

I would start over. Backup! Everything. Wipe internal, external, cache, dalvik, everything.
Odin stock firmware. The entire thing, not just base and bootloader.
Then odin recovery, root. Wipe again. Everything. Flash rom. Win.

It's been so long I've had to flash it via the computer but every time I plug the usb cable to my charger or to a computer the phone starts rebooting. How can I get to adb to flash the recovery again? I can get to download mode but I'm not sure my computer actually "sees" my phone.
Most likely a bad download. Did you check md5 to make sure it was good? Try over with a clean download.
So I tried installing Xposed Framework by flashing it's ROM, but after I did it, I rebooted my phone, but every time I do it, it always boots into TWRP recovery. I tried fixing it by looking in the setting and I used a backup I made before doing all this crap and I restored, but my phone still boots only into TWRP recovery mode. I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me. Thanks.
PS. My phone is rooted and it has TWRP

Is it possible that you used the wrong Xposed for your device or SDK version? I can't imagine that restoring a backup didn't fix it. Did you try wiping system in TWRP first?
Things you can try:
- Flash the "Xposed Uninstaller" zip file in TWRP, which should always be on your device when you are flashing new versions of Xposed.
- Reflash TWRP in Odin. This should fix a recovery loop.
- Wipe system, data, dalvik, cache in TWRP, then try restoring your backup.
- As a last resort, you can download the latest stock firmware for your device from the sammobile site, flash it in Odin, let it boot once, reflash TWRP, wipe in TWRP and restore your backup (if you were running a custom rom you liked or something), then flash the correct Xposed for your device & android version.
Hope this helps!

Hello. I already tried zipping the uninstaller for xposed but it did nothing, I also tried wiping dalvik cache and all, but no luck. I also think that my backups are just not functional. Now I'm left to just reflashing TWRP and if that doesn't work I'll have to flash the original stock firmware for my phone. I have spent already 2 days with constant searching for ways to fix my phone and not being able to do other things because this has been taking up my time and my patience, so I really appreciate every bit of fixing my phone that I get. Since I am new to all this I would be very grateful if you could send me the links to the correct files for my device and also give me a tutorial on what to do. As I appreciate any support, so I'm thankful for you helping me But until then my device is still not able to boot regulary but rather boots to TWRP

Update:
I fixed my phone, and here's what I did, so if anyone is new here with the same issue I had, I hope this can help you. So first of all as I said I kept booting to TWRP, later I tried reflashing TWRP, but I remembered that I missed something in ODIN, so I just pulled the cord and my screen after rebooting just said something along the lines of "An unexpected error occurred while updating software, please recover using Samsung Smart Switch." after that, I tried Samsung Smart Switch, but it was no luck for me, so then I used the last resort. I went on sammobile.com, I searched stock firmware for the exact model I had and then I checked the stock firmware that was available. Since I'm from Latvia, I picked the Baltic region, then I downloaded the latest stock firmware. After a long time, I downloaded the file, and I checked the instructions on how to flash it, I flashed the stock firmware, and then my problem was fixed, my phone was working again and now I have Android 7.1.1 as I used to have Android 6.0.1 and I had ZERO file loss However as you flash the stock firmware, TWRP get "flashed" out and same with root if you have it, and in that case if you want TWRP and root again, I highly suggest Meziani's YoutTube channel, because he gives simple and working tutorials on how to do it I'm glad if this helped anyone.
