[Q] Update & Change of Rom - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have rooted my phone.....Once my motherboard had failed....So got a new one......Now it shows that i caanot upgrade the phone via KIES.....My phone is Currently Rooted.....Will there be any problem if I put a custom rom in it.....

You can flash a custom RoM without any problem
but you will need some things
1.CWM Recovery v5(search for it in SGA forums)
2.Custom ROM zip file(download your Favorite RoM)
3.Basic Custom ROM flashing Knowledge and How to operate the CWM 5 Recovery
Some custom ROMs have Specific flashing procedure so do read the OP post of the Custom ROM thread if there is a different flashing procedure or not.
if the flashing procedure is same then you can continue flashing the ROM using standard flashing procedure.
Do Read The OP Post of the Custom ROM thread very carefully before attempting a flash and it is normal that after you flash the Custom ROM it takes a little long than usual to boot up so don't worry,your phone is not bricked if it takes a long time to boot.It usually takes 5-10 mins to boot after a ROM flash
if u need more help then ask.

If something goes wrong will i be able to get back to 2.3.6 gingerbread....

2. Flash cm10 rom and JB GAPP
3. Reboot and stuck on boot screen
4. Try to get into CWM by using button combo but it won't get me into CWM and it straight go to boot screen
I SERIOUSLY NEED HELP !!!!!!!
Can anyone help me Galaxy note is the best phone I ever had I don't want to lose it pls help me pls ……
Normally you can fix this by doing a wipe/factory reset in CWM but since you cannot enter CWM i dont know.
If u really cannot get into CWM maybe its best to start over.
Flash the CM9 kernel with odin and try to enter CWM after that and flash CM10+gapps again. (dont forget to do the wipe/factory reset)
It should boot without probs.

You flashed a bleeding edge rom without even reading the 1st Page containing the instructions. What's the point of doing instructions if they aren't used. Go back and read and preferably stay on stock until you understand what you are doing

You need to flash cm based roms from cm base which is best to flash from gb rom. Which version were you trying to install?
If you can get into download mode, flash a root able gb rom and root, add cwm, then flash cm10

I had exactly the same problem earlier tonight... CM10 completely nuked my phone, couldn't boot into recovery or anything...
working on getting it back now using a stock GB Rom and Odin (PC) as i could still access download mode... hopefully can recover that way, fingers crossed...
not sure what the problem is, but i'm staying away from CM10 previews until all the bugs are sorted out now...

That's why when you are a noob and have never flashed any custom rom on your device, the best way to avoid a brick and to come here later looking for help when your phone is bricked is to read the ENTIRE thread even if it is 50 pages long! There will also be people who have bricked their phone on the rom's main thread and you will learn a lot by reading everything!

well... That's total Bulls**t
I no expert nor noob, I was.
but reading 50 pages ? total crap
I never do that, there is google, you can almost always find a short answer.
as far as I know, he didn't do anything wrong. I did the same, it work, he did it, it didn't work. guess what, the 50 pages didn't help at all.
the 50 pages can help as last option. or not.
Flashing CM ROM must come from untampered CM nightly not TW-based ROM
1- Use PC Odin to flash stock firmware - preferably Gingerbread (we all know ICS issues)
2- Reboot the phone, let the ROM start & check if u still have root
3- If not : Re-root your phone, Please check Drketan threads for rooting directions
4- When rooted : Reboot into recovery
5- Do full wipe (data - cache - dalvik) 3 times in a row
6- Do System format - go to advanced & choose Format /system
7- Now flash a stable CM base.. I prefer using the latest CM10 nightly (not CM-based ROM)
8- Now without rebooting, flash your preferred CM-based ROM.. I use PA by Utacka
9- Flash Gapps (if your ROM doesn't have them included.. plz read original post (OP) of the corresponding ROM)
10- Re-clean Cache & Dalvick .. only once
11- Reboot & Enjoy
I totally agree with Final5K.. I still read the instructions carefully, I even read some threads backwards to know the issues with the build and perhaps the fixes.. Unless, you would like to superbrick your phone.. that's up to you
CM roms are cmpletely ok. usually the op says to do factory reset after flashing rom before booting or it will get stuck on logo.

Unable to Boot Note n7000 after Firmware Flashing

Hello XDA,
I Need some help with My galaxy note n7000, its was purchased from Kogan, and was in German when I first got it,
I have not been able to find anything on this Forum yet so;
I Had ICS 4.0.4 installed, Stock, and wanted to try CM9
so after rooting and installing CWM I backed up my device, and flashed the "Safe" CM9 kernal with Odin,
My device now hangs on the Boot up screen, and All I can do is the Download files from Odin, I have tried flashing many different kernels and re installing the Stock Rom (it says leaving CS?), without any Luck,
I am wondering if I need a different Rom, and am currently trying to download the Gingerbread roms in an attempt to roll back,
Any help would be appreciated guys and gals.

did u wipe in cmw when u were in ics??
if yes... sorry to inform u that u may have bricked ur device
try this link to revive ur device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886...
if this also fails u ll have to go to samsung service center to get it repaired...
after flashing CM9 kernel your device will not boot up, its natural , a TW rom will not boot with CM9 kernel
you should have entered recovery with three button treatment and done your wipes and flashed CM9 and gapps.
i dont know at what point you are right now,
try flashing a rootable GB rom with pc odin in download mode, then root it ...then get into recovery and flash CM9 etc etc
if you are bricked your flash will stop at factory fs in pc odin..... (fingers crossed)
A cm9 kernel for TW, of all the poor luck!

[Q] Installing CWM on galaxy mini 2.3.4

Hi all!
I'm going to flash CWM recovery on Samsung galaxy mini (stock 2.3.4) and I'd like to ask a couple of questions.
I'm going to follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529863
Is it okay?
1. Do I have to root the device before flashing CWM with odin? Phone isn't rooted now, it's completely stock.
2. Can I install ANY custom rom with CWM? eg. CM9 or 10?
3. I want to make sure that if i want to install a custom rom, first I flash CWM with odin, then custom rom with CWM. Do i have to do something else?
I'm asking these questions because I don't want to brick my phone on my first time flashing something.. I want to be sure.

Better to root the phone before installing clockwork mod
once clockwork mod is install u can install any custom rom just u need to download that rom put it sd card and follow the tutorial given below each rom (most of them have Same tutorial)
u need to flash through odin only once just to root or else when u phone gets bricked

Okay, thanks very much for your help!
if you want to be on stock then root first before flashing CWM as after flashing CWM you may not be able to root your phone.
If you want to flash custom rom then there's no need to root your phone.
Just boot into cwm wipe data
flash rom
again wipe data and then reboot
remember that wiping data is needed before and after the flashing process.
Ok, I'm going to flash CWM tomorrow
Thanks for help!
E: Succesfully installed CWM on my SGM!!
Enjoy and play more with your rom

[Q] Help (Rooting/Brick issue)

I will try to be as detailed as possible. I have been long time user here, but this is the first time I'm posting. I usually read the instructions and posts and that usually suffices my needs. I was on a rooted galaxy note running chasmodo's assylum rom for quite some time now. For Flashing a new rom, I used to go to recovery mode, flash abbysnote kernel (v 3.9) and install a new rom. A few days ago i tried to flash Ezaechiel XXLT6 KM edition - V2.1. I guess I should have checked md5 of the downloaded rom coz after flashing it, my phone refused to boot up. It always took me to the recovery mode screen where i tried to install abyssnote kernel and reinstall assylum. but it didn't work. So I went to dr. ketan's post and tried to flash a pre rooted rom (SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip) using pc odin. Now my phone works fine but i'm on ginger bread. I tried to flash new roms using recovery mode (abbyssnote kernel method) but no new rom can be installed. Everytime I try to install a new rom i face boot loop or get stuck on the setup screen. So I follow the PC odin method to flash the same pre rooted rom (SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip) to get my phone working again. I would like to go back to assylumrom because i got used to aosp jellybean so much now. Anybody who has faced a similar problem in the past, please help
Use one of PhilZ kernels and then in his recovery prepare your device for a clean install (there is an option that does more than only "factory reset". With the old ones you didn't clean /preload.
Then follow the instructions to install your preferred Rom.
Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply thaidai. I will try the method and get back to you I used to do a clean wipe every time.
Mate first upgrade your stock ROM to ICS or JB. The ROMs like Asylum aren't supposed to be installed in GB, so first upgrade, then root and do a full wipe (data,cache,preload,dalvik) and get back to flash the ROM. No need to flash the Abyssnote every time, why do you do that?

I tried installing Cassies Xtraliterom XLC1 after the PC odin method. Got boot loop. What I'm basically saying is, after trying the PC odin method to rescue the device, I can't seem to install any other rom on it using the recovery mode route. Not even other GB roms. What am I to do??

I started using abyssnote kernel to install new roms after the "brick scare" of last year after which a lot of developers started recommending the method. I used to change between GB, ICS and JB roms easily using the abyssnote kernel. Don't know why it's not working anymore.

but what i remember i cant flash gingerbread roms by new cwm
If you want to go back to a stock ROM have a read on the wiki:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001#Stock_ROMs
If you want to install a GB-based custom ROM, it is as @magicw already said. The required steps for installing the ROM will depend on the ROM itself. Just read the instructions carefully. If you need to flash through CWM using an up-to-date version is definitely not a problem. You might need to use Odin though, in this case your installed recovery doesn't matter.
Try SauROM. It is amazing custom ROM based on GB.

who says this? It's not true. I run TWRP 2.6.3 from ADC Team and sometimes flash a StockROM via recovery w/o probs.
SauROM is flashable zip
