Flash Recovery - Broken Home Button - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys!
I will try to mod a Galaxy Ace (stock 2.3.6), but the home button is dead.
So, I suppose the most part of my job will be made under adb shell. I'm thinking to start rooting it using SuperOneClick. But I need a recovery version that don't use the home button. I was thinking to flash the PX Recovery, which have touch support. But all the versions I looked for are flashable via recovery (I found a Galaxy Mini recovery flashable via Odin instead).
I was noticed by this forum search engine a same issue with a Galaxy S phone user, solved using CF-Root (its CWM shifts home for power button, a nice workaround), but I don't want to make a mistake and brick this Ace.
I could flash PX Recovery, extracting the img file from the CWM package, pushing it to the phone and flashing it manually, but it could be risky also. Just an idea, since the recovery interface do the same thing, but with a GUI.
I'd like some directions before perform any flash on this phone. I found a lot of resources here for my old phones (Motorola MB501, Samsung Galaxy 5 and Ace), but this Ace will be a challenge, for sure!
Thanks in advance!

Are you on stock recovery now ? Are you rooted ?

Unrooted 2.3.6 stock ROM. As I said above, first thing is root it, using the instructions from this community. Phone is "untouched" yet.

You'll be wanting the home button anyway. So why not take it to a service center & get it fixed ? There are a few work arounds but why do all that ?

Out warranty, and the service center will, for sure, replace the entire board, so they can charge more money than the service I need. In Brazil, it's common raise the service prices more than needed. Would be easier find for another Ace than fix it =)

Try to root your your phone using superoneclick. Then install cwm manager & select install update from sd card. And flash px recovery. Choose a stock based rom with ext4 file system & flash without wipes. I think you won't be able to wipe anything off stock rom as it isn't in ext4 format. Now after flashing the rom, reboot. Now reboot into recovery, do full wipes & flash the rom again to get it clean ! Done !

Venomous, just don't forget my dead home button. I can't make selections on the recovery interface. If you read above, I'm thinking to use adb commands to flash it (adb shell flash-recovery cwm.img, for example). So, if I extract the recovery img file, push it into the phone sd card, and flash using adb/fastboot, will it work?
As well I can switch to download mode through adb (reboot-download).

But px recovery doesn't require home button & cwm manager is just an app, not recovery. I haven't tried superoneclick & I donno if it uses home button during the process. But if not, my method should work.

Venomous, seems you don't understood it at all. I'm not willing install CWM Manager on a stock ROM. I want flash the PX Recovery (touch support). The point is: can I flash the recovery img file via adb?

Is CWM Manager a frontend of CWM Recovery, or is it an Independent app? Once this ace is still stock (stock recovery, I can't flash unsigned packages), I'm not sure it will work. Did you got it now?

CWM manager is an app. You can access it from app drawer, grant su permissions & select install update from sd card. Choose px recovery zip & it automically reboots into recovery & flashes it for you. And then you can use px recovery to flash roms. I'm sorry I cannot help any further unless you try or I'm sorry if I ain't able to understand what you want to convey.

[Q] Problem trying to flash a custom rom onto a galaxy s on orange uk - recovery mode

I've downloaded ROM manager and clicked on 'flash clockwork recovery'. this placed a 'update.zip' onto my phone. I downloaded a custom ROM and placed this zip in the same place. in ROM manager i choose install from sd card, locate the custom rom and select it. i reboot into clockwork recovery mode and i get the 'android system recovery mode' The options at the top are in blue. i believe this is wrong?
I'm led to believe i should click on 'apply sdcard:update.zip' but when i do i get
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Install aborted
I'm using a samsung galaxy s with the standard orange rom.
Any ideas?
U need to root your device first... flash a kernel like speedmod and it'll rot ur device after this u can install ur custom rom. remember while flashing via odin repartition should be unchecked
You would root and then just need to flash update.zip, dont place rom anywhere near it. I would delete your current update.zip and go through process (minus rom) again.
Alternatively and easier, is what ^^ he said.

I've already rooted my phone.
Dont i need to put the downloaded mod on my sdcard to install it? :/
Rom manager puts the update.zip file there but when i try to run it it fails :/
Yep place the rom into sdcard/
Sometimes in stock recovery, you may have to choose flash update.zip twice to install cwm
However
Mate, if you can use odin, just flash a pre rooted kernel with cwm installed. Should take about 5 mins to download and flash. Chainfire would probably be my recommendation.
Make sure you read kernel flashing instructions before you start.

bad move?
Not at all, just curious. Can you not force download mode via adb? (havent needed to use it myself, so can't advise further)
i would suggest you apply the 3 button combo fix though before proceeding. If you can get into dl mode, its nigh impossible to brick, if not, then its all too easy.....
Dont rush mate, have a good search and read-up first.
Hope I've helped some.

No worries. Cwm method will only work with 2e recovery - if you have 3e, then you will need dl mode odin and kernel.

Upgrade/flash from sd

Hi, my friend at work has an Ace and he's very disappointed with its performance ....so I suggested a custom ROM as I've flashed my phones for years ! He can't be without his phone so I was going to flash it from the SD card at work for him.
Can I do it all from SD , flash CWM etc ..!? Can the whole upgrade be done without a PC !? As I've only ever flashed with Odin ...
Thanks for and help in advance !!!

Flash cwm recovery for ace through stock recovery.
If you're keeping the stock rom make sure to root it first, since flashing the root zip from cwm recovery might not always work.

I got your problem ! Hoping that you meant to say that you aren't able to boot into recovery after flashing cwm, I say, just flash stock via odin, place the cwm 5.0.2.6 file on your sd, reboot into stock recovery, choose install update from sd, browse & flash cwm.zip & reboot. You must be able to get the cwm recovery the next time you try to boot into recovery...

Install stock recovery again and try installing CWM again.
You can find stock recovery thread in Android Development section of SGA
Yep I did that. But evry time I install cwm 5.0.2.6 recovery I have to odin flash it because I can never go back into recovery again. Although cwm 6.0.0.1 or Cwm 6 I forgot what it is, works on my phone.

Got a boot loop by rom toobox

Hello i installed rom tool box pro and i saw some options to change the icons of wifi.I did a bakup too and installed the icons but unfortunately it was stored on internal memory.Then it asked reboot and when i rebooted got a boot loop.
How to fix this? Is there any way to get the backup file from my internal memory?
Thanks.
If you have access to recovery, use aroma file manager. You will have to place the aroma zip on sd or internal storage and flash via cwm. Then you will have a file manager to work with

So why don't you just do that what you asked for in the torrent thread? Download and install a Stock Rom. After that you have "clean" state and can start again.
Or download some of the Custom Roms here and follow the installation instructions. Same result but already on Custom with all the benefits.

[PARTIALLY-SOLVED] Galaxy Ace S5830 - Can't boot into cwm recovery

Dear Community, greetings.
I have a problem as wrote in the title: I can't boot into cwm recovery. I am gonna try to summarize the main points that lead me here.
Assumption​
I used to install custom ROMS flawlessy, following always the instruction etc...
Last rom I've installed was CM7.2 Apocalypse, Project Silk and Link2SD
I needed to restore stock rom
I searched with Google and came across the following solutions
I searched on XDA and came across the following solutions
What I have done...​
I flashed using odin 4.38 -> GB 2.3.6 2012 October 2.3.6 S5830XWKTS S5830ITVKT2 downloaded from sammobile.com
I rooted the phone with upd_1.zip (that is attached to this thread)
I tried to install recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip
...and trying to boot into recovery pushing POWER BT + HOME BT the phone stucks on the screen with "Galaxy GT-S5830" and the top-left corner was green
What I have done #2​
I tried to use S5830XXKA6 but I dind't neither managed to boot properly (wiped data/factory and cache)
Tried to flash CWM directly with Odin using "One Package"
Could you kindly help me out?:fingers-crossed: I am also willing to give you further information as you ask.
Thanks everyone for your time.:good:
F.
---- PARTIAL FIX by myself ----
1. Format the sdcard in linux with GParted (you need to install android-tools-adb, android-tools-fastboot)
2. Flashed stock firmware S5830XWKTS S5830ITVKT2 with ODIN Multidownloader 4.38 (downloadeble from www.sammobile.com under ITALY)
3. Rooted with upd_1.apk and updated with Superuser 3.0 (attached)
4. Installed CWM 6.0.1.4
5. Restore an old backup of mine.
6. Rejoice
But your Phone is still working right ?
I mean you are able to use ur stock firmware ryt ?

First of all, thank you very much for the reply. Then, the answer is yes and no. I flashed several firmwares. Some of them did work, others don't. Right now I managed to use the one I've mentioned before and
S5830XWKT7_S5830ITVKT1_ITV
S5830XWKP6_XWKPN
but trying S5830_XXKA6 it goes in bootloop also wiping data and cache.
Further information:
I noticed a problem with CSC. While booting in standard recovery an error message appeared saying something like "can't open /system/csc/XEU/system", so I've created the whole directory path and put the files that were in /system/csc inside. This issue is fixed. I am going to investigate and let you know if with other firmware I listed above I get the same behaviour.

Obtained this error
make_extf4fs /block/mmcblk0p2

So tried to wipe/format, but after it stuck on boot.
Still waiting for the cwm 5.0.2.4. Can someone post it?
Thanks
So, thanks for your help . I managed to solve it by myself.
And here's how:
1. Format the sdcard in linux with GParted (you need to install android-tools-adb, android-tools-fastboot)
2. Flashed stock firmware S5830XWKTS S5830ITVKT2 with ODIN Multidownloader 4.38 (downloadeble from www.sammobile.com under ITALY)
3. Rooted with upd_1.apk (attached)
4. Installed CWM 6.0.1.5
5. Restore an old backup of mine.
6. Rejoice

Thanks for joining the discussion!
I've tried but got stuck to the boot screen with galaxy ace logo and green corner. Could someone tell me where to look to get more info? I mean log, or test I can do... It's so strange I can only flash 6.0.1.5.

Try flashing this:
CWM 5.0.2.6. FIX
When your system reboot, wait until Android boot again, install TERMINAL EMULATOR's app and type this commands:
Code:
su
reboot recovery
After you've done it, your device'll reboot into recovery mode automatically
