Sure, we have here a huge amount of guides/tutorials/knowledges that we can share with our member
hubix posted a great guide about how to flash a sotck rom:
Here it is , you can ask if you face any kind of problems
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
The important, the correct drivers successfully installed in your PC/laptop, the correct Odin for our device (GT-s5830) and the official firmware that you want to flash and finally follow the steps in prompt C
Code:
[B]C. Flashing the newest firmware:[/B]
1. Turn off your phone
2. Remove your SIM Card and SD Card
3. Extract previously downloaded firmware
4. Open ODIN 4.38 on your PC and change OPS file name to
Code:
[CODE]
Cooper_v1.0.ops
5. Select from extracted archive: OPS-OPS, Boot-APBOOT, Phone-MODEM, PDA-CODE, CSC-CSC (leave EFS and One Package empty)
6. If archive contains only <filename>.tar.md5 select it as PDA and OPS as OPS, leave other fields EMPTY
7. Connect your phone via USB into PC
8. When the screen is turned on hold POWER+VOLUME DOWN+HOME and wait until the phone enters the Download Mode
9. If ODIN detected and recognized your phone should light up the first square to the left side
10. Press "Start" button and wait, the process should take ~5 minutes
11. If all goes well your phone should reboot automatically
12. Square should change the color to blue and display "PASS" it means that flashing process was successful and we have the newest firmware
13. Disconnect your phone
14. Turn off your phone
15. Insert your SIM Card and SD Card again
16. Turn on your phone
17. Now you have the newest firmware! [/CODE]
After flashing process you must boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset and cache partition via stock recovery in order to avoid the bootloop

Its happened to me before.. Even i try flash another Cust. ROM Just stays the same...
Finally i solve it with odin. Flash firmware and it will fix it..
Sent from my GT-S5830
to get more internal memory, do full wipe, them install rom, once installed, flash the file attached then wipe sd-ext reboot and it should be right to go
p.s for every 100mb free internal memory you get 500mb "internal memory"
Nothing different..i have do wipe factory data + wipe cache + wipe dalvik..then flash the ACE III rom + attachment..still same..178 memory internal..
did you wipe sd-ext after installing int2sd?
as i know..flash a new rom, its already format system, data, cache, sd-ext..
am i right??

No problem at all, you can do it but it isn't necessary, you can flash root file, then cwm 5.0.2.6. FIX or you can flash cf-root kernel to get both in one shot
I recommend you do 3 wipes before flash a custom rom and after too to get the cleanest rom as posible (e.g. If you get bootlop, some custom Rom not need it, or you'll get FC, anyway YOU ALWAYS READ THE DEVELOPER INSTRUCCTION TO INSTALL A CUSTOM ROM)
Even if you can restore a backup, do 3 wipes before restoring and then restore it (to avoid boot troubles), you'll get all your last configuration (if then you make 3 wipes you lost all your configuration)
What to do before flashing rom
All u need to know is in this guide, thats all u need to do before flashing a rom, u dont need to partition sd card, do it if rom requires it
IN google type in"how to partition sd card to ext 4 with clockworkmod recovery" and click on the "androidarea51" link

Yeah! wipe dalvik cache is in advanced options
Doing a ext4 partition in your sdcard don't get a better performance if your sdcard's class isn't 6 or 10, I think doing a partition isn't a good thing if you use your phone as a normal usage.

Ext4 works fine in GB with a custom kernel and the correct script
If you want to use a ext4 partition you'll need to flash a INT2EXT script, with a custom kernel that support it with his init.d folder
You can flash cf root, battery extender, spacekernel, nims11 whatever you want for STOCK roms and you'll get a init.d folder, then flash init2ext script and done!

There is no need to do 3 wipes, its completely pointless, by wipe, they just mean factory reset via cwm, you should also wipe ext4 partition, and dalvik cache
If you are upgrading to a higher android version, then you do not need to wipe if you would like you keep all your apps. If you are going to a lower version, wipe the phone AFTER you have installed the rom, but if you dont wanna keep your apps after upgrading, wipe straight after installing the rom
i hope i made sense

3 wipes mean doing Wipe data/ factory reset, Wipe cache partition and Advanced> Wipe dalvik cache from CWM. Make sure to backup your data before you do it. I highly recommend you do this along with Mounts & Storage> Format /system & Format /sd-ext (if you have an ext partition on your SD Card) from CWM before you install another rom inorder to have a clean installation as possible.

It is not at all pointless. Usually when you install a rom through CWM, all files inside this rom zip will be copied to your phone replacing the apps and other files there. But one thing that still remains there is the residual files from the previous rom. It is neither deleted or replaced after the flashing. Now certain system apps read from such residual files as long as its there (if its not there it will generate it again, this being the main reason why your first boot is always the longest). Since the residual files that it is accessing belongs to another rom, it can cause all kinds of error leading to lags and crashes and you might even end up getting a bootloop. Wiping before installing a rom is recommended to remove such residual files and prevent bootloops. The only exception is when flashing updates of the same rom assuming that the rom didn't undergo any change in the system level (just addition of new apps, files, etc). In such cases you don't have to wipe but if the update has made the rom undergo changes at system level like featuring a new kernel, etc, then you might have to wipe. So its always better to follows the installation instruction from the developer of the rom. Always make sure to backup your data before you do wipes, so that you can restore it when you install a new rom. Long story short, if you installing a rom different from your current rom or an upgrade of your current rom that involves changes at the system level, then perform wipe before the installation. Hope I Helped
Correct me if I m wrong...
If u flash clockworkmod(cwm) recovery over official stock(gb) firmware, then avoid formatting ur stock rom via cwm, it'll result in bootloop.
& it's not necessary to format data/cache/dalvik AFTER flashing a new rom. Some roms contain /data folder which means that u shouldn't format data after flashing.
For newbies: U can check what folders ur rom has by using "root explorer" app:sly:

You don't have to change any default settings in mount storage in cwm. It'll not change any performance lag.
Get rid of the lag by a clean and proper flashing.
If you are using cwm5.5.0.4 you cannot install zip from ext sd card. Try a newer version of cwm for that.

You said your ext sd card is not recognizing in your laptop.? Then change it.
If you have a Rom file already in internal sd card, flash it properly. Do a full data wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache. Then flash the zip, flash gapps.

[Q]Wiped clean to install rom, now can't access sdcard

Hello.
first I want to apologize for my, sometimes, bad English!
Second, i want to apologize for my novice touch in this topic!
The story:
I've been using SweetRom for a while, but tonight i wanted to try another rom.
I loaded up SuperBean(not really relevant to this story) on a microSD.
Rebooted my phone into recovery
Philz Touch 5
I choose "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and then "Clean to install a new rom"
Then i tried to "install zip"
"Choose zip from sdcard"
But then i get: E:Can't Mount /sdcard/
I've tried to format the sdcard, exfat, fat, fat32, ntsf but nothing worked, still the same error.
I can access the internal storage and i can boot into download.
I thought that maybe i'll try to install the newest Philz but when in download mode
my computer wont recognize my phone (i'm using Windows 8)
i'm stuck! please help me out!
I've searched everywhere for answers but i can't find any!
What are my options?
Boot into Philz recovery again and go to mounts and storage and mount USB. Then connect it to pc. Check if the any drive shows up. Then move the new rom to the internal storage.

Boot into Philz recovery again and go to mounts and storage and mount USB. Then connect it to pc. Check if the any drive shows up. Then move the new rom to the internal storage.

what DOES the "clean to install a new rom" option do anyway?

It does a full wipe. Basically it formats: cache, /system, /preload, /data

is /preload equivalent to /dalvik-cache? but then what's the point of format /data/factory restore if "clean to install new rom" is present?
No. It's different. Preload is a separate partition and dalvik-cache is in data partition.
The option you mentioned only exists in Philz recovery not in standard cwms

So, to be clear, is it necessary or advisable to do any of 'Wipe Data/Factory Reset', 'Wipe Cache Partition' and 'Wipe Dalvik Cache'? Or is 'Clean to Install a New ROM' merely an amalgam of the above (plus added formats?)?
Thanks
It's usually not necessary but it is ALWAYS advised to format /data /preload /system and cache before flashing a new ROM. If you don't do those wipes then you can sometimes end in a bootloop, random force closes, battery and performance issues et cetera. Basically if yoou want to flash a new ROM (unless it is an update to your current ROM) then always do a full wipe,
If you are just updating your ROM (ex. updating one nightly to another) then you just have to flash the ROM in recovery and wipe cache, dalvik cache (in advanced)

Thanks very much for that - much appreciated.
I've read elsewhere that many seem to recommend wiping cache and dalvik after they've flashed a ROM? Is this something you'd advise and, if so, why (or not!)?
Many thanks

If you're updating then yes, it's enough that you flash the ROM and then wipe cache and dalvik cache.
If you're reflashing from start then you should first do a full wipe, flash the ROM, gapps, su and that is all. No need to wipe the cache or dalvik cache again

Ah right. So if you're flashing a new ROM - then clean install is all that's necessary. If upgrading to a newer version of existing ROM, then it's better to wipe cache and dalvik post-install? Why? What does it do and how does it help?
Cheers
reset before installing zip, now no super su ... cannot mount usb
Hi,
The title says it all. I have been reading and searching. Many similar stories. I apologise if this is in the wrong place but this is very similar to my problem.
I have a galaxy i9505 trying to install a DjeMBeY ROM from TWRP.
I factory reset and wiped cache's BEFORE I flashed the .zip file so then had no .zip file to flash!
Also have erased my system backup and the USB WILL NOT SEEM TO MOUNT to copy it back onto the card.
I have read and read I am very struck.
I am not familiar with all the processes yet. Please help.
i recommend going to here

You can go with the download mode and install a stock ROM or use the 'adb sideload " feature of cwm recovery to install the zip of your ROM if you have it saved on your PC.

if you have an ext partiiton then it should work
are you using cwm 6 or above
if yes then try flashing ultimatum with swap all through cwm 5

Ultimating 4.0 locks at boot with Swap All kernel
i'm trying to upgrade from Ultimatum 3.0 to 4.0 and am having major trouble installing it with Swap All kernel. fire kernel works fine, but that's not an option for me.
i followed all proper procedures, wiping/formating cache, system, data, dalvik cache, etc. via CWM 5
