You can Flash any firmware from any region (as long as its for your phone model). Just Flash the Latin modem afterwards (also with Odin).
Also the Kp7 firmware is Latin unbranded (no bloatware from telcel, iusacell or vomistar) and has the Latin modem. Try region southamerica (I know, I know, they just keep putting Mexico on southamerica!)

Hi,
i have ran into trouble with my ACE. The Problem:
1.i started Kies and connected my ACE -> no connection was established...
2.i put the Root.zip file and the CustomRom with MyPhoneexplorer (WLAN) to my ACE
3.now started into CWM, wiped all, rooted the phone, reboot -> everything ok
4.rebooted the phone into CWM -> install from zip -> tried to install the CustomRom -> that failed :crying: "E:cannot mount /cache" and so on
5.now i have a big problem to connect my ACE to Odin... i think this is the same problem as Kies already has. No connection possible in Odin...
What can i do to make my phone run? Everything i see in the moment is the startup Samsung screen an nothing happens.
thanks a lot

Have you got tha right drivers?Also try updating KIES

i think this is the main problem... i have tried to connect ACE to 3 different PCs with Kies reinstalled -> everytime Windows notify about "could not install driver".
When i try it with my SGS2 -> no problem at all.
Ist there a way to flash CWM without to connect USB? I mean put the install File on sd card an install from zip?

Hi,
now i tried everything (i think so). Kies reinstalled, different OSs on my PC, different PCs, Samsung USB drivers but no soultion for ACE... This damn phone
don't recognize at USB
i think the next step is only Samsung Service...
whether somenone have an idea for my problem, please post it!
thanks.

was your sga in download-mod?
if yes
did you installed drivers for the sga ?
because if you didnt installed the driver it is possible that you dont get any connection to your sga
if yes
did you checked usb-debugging ?
But your sga starts normaly? So you use a rooted stockrom?

-ACE was in download mode.
-drivers are installed
-usb-debugging cannot be checked-> ACE does not start anymore...
-no, no start possible, only Samsung Galaxy Ace screen or download mode or
recovery mode.
the issue is not the flashing themselves but the USB connection PC<->ACE
thx.

now i need the OPS file to download to make my ace live.
anyone can help me to give the the to get that's file?
thanks before.

I guess I'm lucky
OK. Didn't know were to put this info, so I'm guessing that this thread is as good as it gets.
Several months ago, cannot remember when exactly, I did a search on freeing up internal memory on my Galaxy Ace S5830L Telcel. Came up on Link2SD and read that the phone needed to be rooted.
Original specs:
Android: 2.3.4 Gingerbread
Firmware: S5830LUBKP7
Provider: Telcel
SD: 8Gb
My previous phone was a Nokia N78 so I was very comfortable "breaking" this relatively new (about 6 mo old) phone. Downloaded KIES and made sure the phone was completely up to date with SAMSUNG. Downloaded CWM 5.0.2.6 for cooper directly from CWM (file called AceGingerRoot.zip). Placed the zip on the card, went into recovery mode and loaded CWM. Rebooted the phone and once more went into recovery mode to check I had CWM. Rebooted the phone, went into PlayStore and loaded up SuperUser, Link2SD and RootExplorer. With these loaded I basically threw away most Telcel apps except the I-mail one and transferred most things to the SD card. I even offloaded Google Maps with Street View, ThinkFree Office and YouTube to load them again a user apps and link them to the SD card.
Oh... by the way I used an external windows program to partition the card with a 750Mb Ext3 partition.
The phone only once hiccuped in that I had to work around the deskclock as everytime I touched into it the phone would lock, then I would unlock and it would open directly into the clock. When I touched into the alarms the same thing happened. Same story when going out. I put up with it since it was really not annoying.
Come this past weekend I read that ICS and Jelly Bean COULD be flashed into the S5830. Not wanting to really go that far I went looking for something a little more "tame"... hence cyanogenmod. Came up with a tutorial at wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Ace:_Full_Update_Guide which sounded easy enough. Downloaded the files for S5830 (ccm-7.2.0-cooper.zip), followed the instructions for "Method via Recovery" (including backing up contacts and stock ROM to SD) and voila CyanogenMod-7.2.0-cooper now resides in my phone. The specs are now:
Android: 2.3.7
Firmware: S5830LUMKP3 Build GWK74
Unbranded
SD: 7 Gb user, 750 Mb ext3 for phone
Reading about the issues in this thread I can gladly report that:
a) I have full functionality of GPS together with AGPS
b) My signal reception, both 3G and WiFi has GREATLY improved. I wonder if Telcel is being a ***** and throttling the darn phone with the stock ROM. With 3G I frequently (especially at night) had very bad reception in my calls. This is gone. Also WiFi scanning is better as it now resembles what I can find with my acer 4700 series laptop.
c) Modem functionality is working perfectly. I didn't even need to modify anything, it directly detected the settings for Telcel. I wonder if it "picked them up" from the backup I made in my external SD card of the original stock ROM. This is one of those things I cannot explain why.
Next up... dunno maybe CM9 although dad is sending me his Samsung GT9070 (Galaxy S advance) to play with.

I can't install the ClockWorkMod, when i execute the command "adb push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img /tmp/"
I get this: failed to copy 'adb push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img /tmp/' to '/tmp/' : Is a directory
How can i fix this?
G. Flash Custom Recovery:
1) Push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace.img to your device using "adb push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img /tmp/" command
2) Turn off your phone
3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON

Just out of curiosity... are your file names correct? Are you rooted or rooting within the same process? You post instructions for 5.0.2.6 but are trying to push 5.0.2.3. Do try the instructions I placed in post of nov 07 for flashing cwm via recovery. No glitches on my ace.

Hello all. I'm Nuno from Portugal.
I have a strange problem and i'm asking for all your help.
My Ace's IMEI is filled with 00000000000.
I've unlocked my S5830 with the adb shell method.
First I rooted and after unclocking, unrooted again. All the process went well.
The ace works perfectly but I would like to have IMEI again.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S stuck on boot screen

Hi, i'm noob in Galaxy Flashing so this is my problem:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 blocked from italian carrier.
Few times ago i tried to enable 3-buttons download/recovery mode installing Aries_P-SBL.tar.md5 with Odin. The installation finished successfully but the download/recovery mode still didn't work.
After some reboots (where the phone worked right), now the phone stucks in the boot screen (the one with Galaxy S GT-I9000 SAMSUNG).
With the JIG i can enter download mode but my computer can't detect the phone (Windows feels my USB connection but Odin does not detect it).
If i connect the phone to the computer in normal mode (not in download mode, so with stuck screen), Kies can detect the phone but says that it can't talk with phone in this way(like if it was in USB Debug mode).
I Hope someone can help me

Restart your computer>>>Go to task manager and close all Kies applications (I usually have 2 Kies running from startup)>>>Start Odin and select all the files>>>Put your phone into download mode and connect>>>It should be detected now.
If it is still not detected, close odin, disconnect phone. Start Kies go to tools and install drivers. Once this is complete. Close Kies and start from the top of this post...restart...

Solution Is HEIMDALL.....
Here Comes your solution:
You can easily back your phone with Heimdall.
It's a flashtool which is more complicated than ODIN.
If interesting,simply PM me and we will do it.

I'm Here...
Well,first go to here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265
Second: Download 7-zip PC software & extract your official md5 firmware to obtain several other files.
Third:Search the web for a Heimdall How-To(if you didn't find,I'll provide You links)
Last:You'll flash the firmware via Heimdall & again your peace of mind will be back.

Try to reflash your phone normaly with another Rom, it should work

Try reinstalling the samsung usb drivers and/or try from another pc and see if it shows the same thing (meaning nothing) .

Hi,
sorry but i tried all the ways, Odin and Heimdall.
I tried Odin on Windows and Heimdall on MacOSX but always they say
"Failed to detect compatible download-mode device."
I'm sure that phone is in download mode
May i install drivers on OSX with Heimdall?
I have not original samsung USB cable, but i think this is not a problem

Rooted my GT-I9000, and now it has crashed!
First off all my Galaxy I9000 was trying to software update via Kies, and it failed. The it would not start, but i managde to root it with a stock "VOD" rom.. But after a while i wantet to root it back to "Nordic Version"... But i could not do this, because the 3 button combo dont work on my Galaxy I9000 anymore.. :/ So there for i baought a USB JTAG, that puts it into download mode. So far, So good But when it is finished rooting, it fails to mount/unmount a bunch of stuff.. I have a picture of the screen, so that you guys can se what the problem is. I have tryed to root it with the same version that worked before, but it dont work. I have also tryed with som pit files, and so on... I give up, i need help with my Samsung Galaxy S - GT-i9000. Please help me out with this..

Getting Hopeless...?
1)For you to become sure,my Galaxy S Aka I9000 was exactly the same as yours and right now there is nothing wrong with that of course after flashing by HEIMDALL.
2)Remember,if your are going to do anything,Your first and your last key,is your HOPE so be so hopeful and let's start to get over this.
3)Download I9000 USB driver from here and simply install it on WINDOWS OS.
http://hotfile.com/dl/48893334/93383a1/I9000_USB_driver.rar.html
4)Before Using Heimdall, Enter it's folder and you'll see another sub folder called driver and you'll see just ONE executable program,run it and follow these instructions:
(I'll Shortly Provide You A How-to)
5)Enter Heimdall and follow these instructions:

generally no, but I recommend strongly to try another micro USB-Cable & another USB Port!

No one of these method does work for me,
any suggest?? my main problem is that the pc does not detect the phone when it's in download-mode. I know how to flash it, but there is not a program that can talk with it!

Hi, changing computer worked. I tried on OSX and didn't work, on Windows 7 on VMware Fusion and didn't work. After all, i tried on a laptop with Windows XP and it solved my problem.

Is It Possible To Flash The UK ROM XEULP4 Over The German ROM XXLPY?

I own an unrooted UK Note which I have flashed the stock German XXLPY over GB using PCOdin and now that the official UK ROM XEULP4 has been released I would like to use that. I've tried to flash the UK ROM using PCOdin but the COM box fails to turn yellow and I wondered if it was perhaps not possible to go from XXLPY to XEULP4.
I would be grateful to here from anyone who has gone from the German XXLPY ROM to the UK XEULP4 ROM and how it was done.
Many Thanks

I flashed back to XEU GB then did an update in Kies. Sorted.

Do You need to be rooted to go back to XEU GB?

I allready told you in your previous thread.
If you cant flash through odin. You must be rooted. No options left

There is no problems if you flash UK ROM on German ROM.
Com Box is not showing because there is a problem with the Phone-PC connection.

Thanks for your reply. It is very useful to know that the UK ROM can definitely be flashed over the German ROM because that is the easiest thing to do. I'll investigate further my Phone -PC connection.

You wrote in other thread that your PC detected your phone with kies.
Reinstall kies, disable everything related to kies on your PC using msconfig.
----
Btw
I never use kies.
Before you uninstall kies, back up SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe
file located in kies installation directory. It is enough to install all necessary drivers.
No need of whole kies ****.
It interferes with PC Odin.

Thanks once again for the extra information. Whilst investigating my problem I tried connecting the Note to my PC but with the Note NOT in download mode and the COM box turned yellow. But it doesn't turn yellow in download mode. I received an offer to update Kies before trying to flash the UK ROM which I did.

I've uninstalled Kies but that has made no difference, still no yellow box on PCOdin when I connect the Note in download mode. Strangely, the COM box does turn yellow if I connect when NOT in download mode. If I cannot get PCOdin working with my Note then I cannot try going to the UK ROM from the Germany ROM via GB for I won't be able to flash the GB ROM either. So I'm really stuck.
Any more ideas anyone?

When I downloaded the UK ROM from Sam Mobile it was in the form of a zip folder. I've tried extracting the MD5 file from the folder using 7-zip and trying the MD5 file without unzipping but neither help my yellow COM box problem in PCOdin. Do you need to extract the MD5 file from the zipped firmware folder using 7-zip or not? The extracted file looks the same size as the one in the zip folder.
I'm downloading the EU GB ROM to try that to see if I can flash that using PCOdin.

Maybe a stupi question. But are you sure you are in dl mode, not recovery?

I'm using volume down+home button+power button and I get the download screen with a yellow triangle warning about downloading custom ROMS.

Ok. Thats the right way. Odd problem you have.

I've re-installed my original Kies and not accepted an update like I did before but still no yellow COM box when I connect the Note in download mode. I cannot understand how the PCOdin COM box turns yellow when I connect to the PC NOT in download mode whilst it does not go yellow in download mode.
It's getting late and I'm getting tired so I'm going to sleep on it and try again tomorrow.

I have discovered two error messages when I connect my Note to the PC and it seems the Note is not recognised. I've installed the Note device drivers using Kies and the Note connects to Kies OK.
I attach the error messages which appeared when I connect my Note to the PC: Does anyone know how to fix the problem? I've just tried connecting the Note to my PC with it powered up and I don't get any error messages and the PC recognises the Note. So perhaps that is why I got the error messages.
I'm still no nearer to discover why my COM does not turn yellow in download mode though.

Hey man
it's already a good thing you can get into download mode.
First off, you'll have to search for a stock rom for your country on Sammobile, go to this page and enter your device's information and your country: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
Second off, you'll have to unzip/unrar the file from Sammobile, which will give you a .tar file - that right there is the stock firmware that we'll now flash onto your device again.
Third off, you should put your device in download mode and connect your S3 Mini to your computer via a micro-USB cable (if your computer doesn't recognise the phone, download Samsung Kies and that will install the correct drivers so your computer does recognise it).
Then open up Odin and put the .tar file in the 'PDA' section. Leave the other sections empty! Hit start and wait until it says that the device is all good to go. Don't disconnect the cellphone until Odin says so!

To achieve with ADB mode I need to install some application on android?
when I searched about it, the tutorials show before installing an application

You install onto computer and use the command prompt in windows to boot to recovery just search how to install adb. It can get confusing to download and install it might take a bit of time.

I am sorry I forgot to mention. I am unable to get Odin to recognize my phone when connected.

Do you have the phone in download mode

Yes I have my phone in download mode

Try different cable and USB slots

You may need to install the Sammy Drivers. If you install Kies 3 it will do it for you.

I have installed the latest Samsung drivers tried 3 or 4 different cables still no luck.

Well your best bet would be an att service center or Samsung experience booth at best buy

I have already been to the best buy and there systems couldn't find my phone

Call att you have a year warranty I assume since you factory reset the phone won't go past the Samsung boot screen the will send you a replacement for free

Back when our phones had jellybean, I did the exact same thing. I deleted my stock rom without installing a replacement. BIG NO NO!
Anyway, to get your phone recognized, I would install kies 3, then tools > reinstall device driver. Do this with the phone connected in download mode.
Next I would use the files found here to reinstall the stock kk rom using Odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/n900aucucnc2-odin-files-t2838117
There is a guide on YouTube entitled "AT&T Note 3 MLG Restore Part 1" that should walk you through the process.
Please let me know if this helped.
Edit: I noticed that my fellow XDA members have recommended the same thing (except for telling kies to reinstall the drivers) As a last ditch effort, I would try a different pc running a different operating system (especially if you're using Windows 8).

I took this from thedroidguy dot com.
"First Solution: This is the recommended way to make any Samsung device, in this case the Galaxy Note 3, get detected by the computer without a problem: download and install KIES. Depending on your connection, the download process may take several minutes to complete but the installation won’t take a minute. Installing KIES into your computer mean installing all necessary USB drivers as well. You can download KIES from here.
Second Solution: If you’ve already installed the KIES into your computer and it still refuses to detect the phone, reboot it and try again. If the problem persists, uninstall KIES, reboot the computer and plug the phone in. Let the computer detect the device as a general storage then install KIES again. This time, it would work.
Third Solution: If you don’t want to install KIES to your computer, you can download just the drivers. They are packed into one package and compressed to only have around 25 megabytes. You can find the download link from here.
Fourth Solution: There is also what they call the universal ADB driver that would make any Android device detectable by the computer once it’s installed. The driver was built by clockworkmod team and can be downloaded from their website."

Well if the phone is in download mode, and Odin is up to date, then it has to be a driver issue. My pc always acts like it's recognizing my devices, but then it screws with the drivers to where nothing works.

Thanks for all the help I don't know what will work but I will continue to try everyone's advice and hopefully something works for me. At this time I can only use the for rom slots in safe strap. Phone works great other than I am unable to use full storage space of the note 3

It might be too late to help but i had to uninstall all the drivers from the PC then put my phone in download mode, then plug it in to the pc and it would install the drive and work maybe?
Or pull your sd card our and copy over a rom to it then put it back in and boot and flash?
