Unable to flash ROM Galaxy Ace S5830

Problem solved long ago
Delete thread

Wrong thread to post in.
Anyways,
When you use "update from SD card" option the code is installed from "update.zip" in sdcard - so if there is some garbage code in update.zip it will corrupt the installed ROM on the device (or even the kernel - as might have happened in your case) and errors like bootloop and errors in recovery show up.
That being the background ... you should ask around in the galaxy ace section for specific instructions to use odin to restore your friends phone
Here's a little guide on how to flash a ROM via ODIN by me:
Requirements:
- A Windows computer
- A Galaxy Ace plugged into the computer via USB
- You must have ODIN installed , duh !
- (Windows Vista/7 compulsory) Running ODIN with Administrative rights:
- Ended KIES via Task manager:
Instructions:
1 - Download your favourite firmware here
2 - Extract the .rar out using WinRAR or 7zip (password is samfirmware.com)
3 - Check if it's a FULL package or ONE package:
FULL Package instructions:
1 - Open up ODIN (MAKE SURE ALL REQUIREMENTS ARE MET)
2 - Set your phone in Download Mode (Home + Power + Volume Down)
3 - Once you have correctly entered Download Mode and plugged in , this should appear in ODIN:
4 - Place the files in this order:
OPS - Select the file named Cooper_v1.0.ops (or anything like that)
BOOT - Select the file named "APBOOT_S5830xxxxx_CL514579_REV03_user_low_true.ta r.md5"
where "xxxxx" = Your firmware version
Phone - Select the file named "CODE_S5830xxxxx_CL514579_REV03_user_low_true.tar. md5"
where xxxxx = firmware version
PDA - DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING
CSC - Select the file named "GT-S5830-MULTI-CSC-xxxxxx.tar.md5"
where "xxxxxx" = the CSC region
EFS - Select the file named "MODEM_S5830xxxxx_CL514579_REV03.tar.md5"
xxxxx = firmware version (Be VERYVERY careful with this EFS part)
After you're done , click on "Start" and let the magic reveal itself slowly......
ONE Package method:
1 - Open up ODIN
2 - Set your phone in Download Mode while plugged into USB
3 - Tick the option "One Package" in ODIN (Refer to previous ODIN picture)
4 - Select the only .tar.md5 file
Now press start and watch the magic.....

Hello,
My friend used upd_1.zip from xda to root his phone and then flashed CyanogenMod 7.1-cooper-KANG-RC1 Android 2.3.7 as well as its fix.
He didn't get the "install zip from sdcard" option so, he chose the "apply update from sdcard" option and selected CyanogenMod 7.1-cooper-KANG-RC1 Android 2.3.7 halfway through it says "installation aborted" after this his phone doesn't proceed beyond the startup screen.
PLEASE HELP
Thanks in advance
PS: when I go to the recovery screen, a list of text comes up which says "unable to access...","cannot access cache", etc. All start with "E/..."
PPS: I am newbie of sorts and do not know how to use SuperOneClick and ODIN, though I downloaded them as recommended in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145

Is downloading Superuser from Playstore the same as copying Superuser to your SD card?

K I really dont know. I could see a problem here tho.

About what are you talking about, Superuser.apk, Superuser.zip or su? Simple answer yes and no, probably more helpfull answer, go to googles play store or the webside (think androidsu.com) and find more out.

Yes Of course, you can use it...

You need a rooted phone to use ROM manager so you need to inject CWM first before you flash a v20 otherwise you can't root it, or you flash a v10 and root it with GingerBreak but for that you don't need SU or CWM. I think all that is said here a hundred times.

[Q]

Hi everybody,
I got a big problem. First of all, i'm not english, but it dont matter.
Next, i've recently ( october ) Root and Flash my phone, and installed the SGSIII Rom. My roommate have take my phone and have put the wrong code 55 times(genius) and now i can't turn on my phone ! It's locked on the " S III " screen .. So i need your help. I'm a noob, like says the video
And I don't nknow what to do. I think i should use a " recovery " but i'm not sure of the meaning of " recovery " so I'm stucked..
Really need your help guys
EDIT : I forget one thing, i just want to back up my phone to the normal version .. No root, no flash, i got blackmart alpha so whyr oot ? x)
Exen

Switch off ur phone. Now, press HOME+POWER buttons together. The screen you will see after that is known as "Recovery".
However, if you want your phone normal as before (no root) then, firstly, you need STOCK FIRMWARE of YOUR COUNTRY. Also, be careful... if your phone has 'i' or some alphabet after model name (such as: Galaxy Ace 5830i) then you need 5830i firmware.
REMEMBER:- 5830i is not same as 5830(without 'i').

Thank you for your answer.
I've found a stockfirmware of Europe ( i'm french so i hope it's ok ) for android 2.3.3 ( my version of android ) called S5830XWKPO.
What should I do ?

If you remember your (previous) stock firmware version & you are sure that now you have the correct firmware for your specific device model, then search on GOOGLE for firmware flashing methods for your model. You may also find plently of them here on XDA too. You can also find as many video tutorials on youtube.
Firmwares are generally of two types:- full package(contains 4 files) & one package(contains two files). You can extract the downloaded firmware file to ensure whether it is "full" or "one package". You need Odin.exe to flash firmware & an "ops" file.
... & PC (ofcourse...)
& By the way... what was that "wrong code" you are referring to??

I've find the correct version firmware for my phone, that is ok. But, i put it on my SD Card and my phone can't detect it .. When i turn it up with HOME + POWER buttons, i go on " install .zip from SD card " and i can't see the file .. I'm a bit stucked.
Ok, to make that my phone back to factory leaving ( excuse for bad english xD ) i must Re-flash it ? Like a normal flash, but with this firmware ? And after, must I unroot it ?
EDIT : Ok, i've put the .zip file on my SD card, and i select : " install zip from sdcard " , after " choose zip from sdcard " and at least i select th S5830XWKPO file and i push home. it launch the installation and says :
-- Installing: /sdcard/S5830XWKPO.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update
Installation aborted
And i dont now why it aborts.. Maybe because it's the wrong file ? I really need help i'm a bit lost in all of those firmwares, continents and all of that x')
Thanks for help dude

Read the tutorials, to flash a firmware you need a pc and odin.
Recovery is for installing custom roms.

No No Bro!!... You can't flash it from your phone. Transfer that S5830...zip file to computer & extract it. Then open Odin.exe & place appropriate files in the concerned fields.
For one package f/w installation, tick the option "one package" in odin screen, then place that single ".tar.md5" file under One Package field.
However, if you got full package, you need to place those files in appropriate fields.
(Just search about flashing processes on google.com to know how exactly it's done.)
[]*Remember:- To flash stock firmwares you need to have pc & phone drivers & only custom roms can be flashed through CWM recovery(via phone)*[]
Hope this helps...!!!

I can enter fastboot...Thanks for the advice:good:

hey!
Download CyanogenMod 10.1. then download this recovery CWM
when downloaded copy it to your ADB+FASTBOOT location and make sure your device is in FASTBOOT USB mode. then open CMD window there and type fastboot flash recovery recovery(press tab to auto fill) then press escape
It is says OKAY the click on Bootloader on then select reboot recovery and should reboot into recovery and try mount usb storage to computer from MOUNTS AND STORAGE

Before flashin aby rom, check ur hboot version.
Now, in ur case, copy out ur downloaded rom. Den extract the vold.fstab file (only dat file) located at /system/etc. Open it in a text editor (notepad or notepad++) and look @ d last line.
If u r using hboot 1.28 or 6.28, it should read "sdcard 34"
If u r using hboot 1.25 or 6.25, it should read "sdcard 33"
Save and copy back into d zip file.
Since u cannot access ur memory currently, boot ur fone into recovery and mount sd storage. Copy d now modded zip file to d root folder and flash.
Your internal storage is now visible.
Also, if u have already flashed d rom, u can get a root explorer and navigate to that file and edit it from there, then reboot your phone.
Just professional NOOB trying to be a NOOB professional.

Bricked P9 with all partitions corrupt.

Hai friends,
I have a huawei p9 eva - l19 c185b385. I tried to do the oem unlock and tried to change the region. now it is not booting and i can access twrp and fastboot only. e recovery mode is not downloading anything. i tried flashing rom through twrp. but it says cannot mount partitions (invalid arguement). So please help me what should i do?

Okey i had the same problem and dont worry because there are always solutions. (Sorry for my english, so I'm spanish)
First of all you will need to format your MicroSD, put it in a computer and then format it and clean.
After, if u have the bootloader and the TRWP installed is so easy, dowload the oeminfo_c432.zip (remember that u have to dowload the OEMINFOC432 for EVA-L19, dont dowload for EVA-l09) and copy the .Zip to the Micro SD (DONT extract, only copy the zip)
Then u dowloand the C432B136 (2,2Gb aprox, ) Atention: i supose that u have all this dowload but u have to dowload again because when u try to install and fail it becomes corrupt so you have to dowload again and extract all into the MicroSD. After this u have to have the Zip of the oeminfo432 and the file "Dload"
After this is so easy, turn on the mobile (POWER+UP) to enter with TWRP, now u go to Install, open the MicroSD and install the .zip "Oeminfo_c432", dont worry if when u are installing appear messages like "Can't mount data or failed partition or something like that, just dont worry.
Finally when this is installed click reboot in TRWP and press the 3 buttons to force the install the "dload" and will start to installing correctly.
Conclusion, is so important format and clean the MicroSD first of all and download again everything because i supose that u have the same files but are corrupt.
Again, sorry for my english and if u need more help contact with me and i will try to help u.
