Official 2.3.6 for India is out for GT-S5830i

The Galaxy Ace (model number S5830I) is reportedly getting the Android 2.3.6 update, as Samsung has finally set a few balls in motion to update its older devices. As reported by Android OS, the update for the Ace is available for download via Samsung’s dedicated software, Kies. Here is the update version for the Ace S5830I: S5830IXXLA2/S5830IODDLA1. Like all other updates, this one will be distributed to Samsung Ace customers in batches, so you’ll have to be a little patient, if you still haven't received the update for your phone.

Anyone tried ??

are galaxy ace S5830 and galaxy ace S5830I same? cant understand i m from india

sammobile already made announcement that this is not generic version so do not try to flash it as it may brick phone..
they sade 5830i has some different chipset.... so better wait for some time
official update in india are ddkqX so this was what i asked sammobile on twitter and they replied and announced that do not flash this....
all of google news shows galaxy ace getting update but its not

I wondered the same, but I suppose it works for both the phones. I read it on another thread in this forum. People have tried it. I am on 2.3.7 (CM 7.2) so not quite eager to try it out yet.

the one who is saying that he is on 2.3.6.. not this rom specifically and why to talk more as sammobile officially said that this won't work on 5830
i moved away from indian roms months back and never saw region while flashing as all have english and thats more than enough to use roms

For the first time I rooted my phone, I followed this steps that are in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
First of all, follow the G. step.
G. Flash Custom Recovery
Follow strictly this step-by-step.
Then, you should be able to root the phone.
To you, what works is the E. step.
E. Rooting for 2.3.3/2.3.4/2.3.5/2.3.6/2.3.7
Remember that you have to download the file attached to the post, upd_1.zip.
I think that it is the best way to root.

no it didn't work on me .. and odin can't detected my phone...

as i can see you may not be owner of rarely found "i"
and as stocks of international SGA or vice versa do not work , i don't think its good idea to flash cf-root on top as no one actually saw sources for 5830i

"Mislead"? dude samfirmware have all the Samsung Firmwares listed there if he cant find his model he can't do anything about it.
I told him to try to find his model there nothing else --"
I really don't know if SAM firmware have his model.
If SAM firmware does have his phone model he just need to search for it and flash with Odin. Simple. Just as I said.(to search his phone model there)
If you don't know what you're talking about just don't say anything.

cannot find firmware anywhere...

How To Downgrade to GB 2.3.7?

Hi guys I'm running CM11, ICS 4.2.2 on my Galaxy Ace, GT-S5660D and want to downgrade to the original OS the phone came with, I believe it was GB 2.3.6 or 2.3.7. My phone is rooted but I have no idea how to bring it back to the original Android version. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the quick response!
I'm not sure what odin is and I don't think I used it when I flashed CM11 onto my Ace.

Thanks this looks promising. But when looking at this site http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...laxy-ace-firmwares&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82 there's no Canada under S5830, only European countries. Should I download the Canadian firmware under S5830D?

Before you install anything, is your phone GT-5660D or GT-5830? Make sure to download the original firmware for your device. Installing any firmware meant for another device on your phone can, in the worst case, hard-brick your device. As for the firmwares, you can download the one that is near to your region. In fact, any regional firmware for a particular phone will work on it. You can also find all the Samsung Galaxy Ace firmwares in the following link,
[Share] All Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 Stock Firmwares (2.3.X) Ever Released
Hope I Helped

I just did it with the help of that thread. Thanks all.
