Hi!
Unfortunately, this thread is useless! When I saw it i thought it was an alternate fix.
There are several threads about restoring a frimware via ODIN. Please search before you post.
Also, you are kindly requested to read the Forum Rules.

3.6 - Wait the phone to reboot and enjoy your rooted device!
3.7 - Press Thanks if i helped :good:

You've come a long way in a short time...
But your tutorial needs a proper proof-read. Did you walk through these steps yourself to make sure that the instructions are correct?
"SuperSU Beta 2.66" - why not the newest version?
"Usb Cable ,preferably micro-usb" - what other type will fit?
Step 1.0 You haven't mentioned in big red capital underlined letters "This will wipe your phone".
Step 1.4 "then you have to restart the phone normally" - why, since the next step is "Put your phone into bootloader mode"?
Step 2.1 "Put your phone into bootloader mode , power off the device and put it into bootloader mode" doesn't really make sense.
Step 2.4 You haven't mentioned in big red capital underlined letters "This will wipe your phone".
Step 3.2 says "rename it into "cwm.img"" and the following flash command refers to "zip".
Step 3.3 "type "flash recovery cwm.zip"" - wrong. "Fastboot flash recovery cwm.img".
But kudos for writing the tutorial and posting it as a help to others. Can you correct at least the errors so that new users don't get in a mess? And this time I suggest that you then walk through it step by step to be sure that you've got it all right.

Here is the complete guide for update to the latest firmware for those who have rooted phone:

Fixed!

Really? I still see v2.66, "preferably micro-USB"... I stopped reading after that.
And you haven't confirmed that you've walked through the instructions to test that they now work.
Have you heard the saying "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing"?
And finally a general message - maybe I should add it to my signature:
(P.S. A plea to everyone in these forums. Don't reply to a simple 1-page thread post copying the entire post to which you're replying. I've already read the original - I don't need to read it again. Copy the original post only where necessary - e.g. if it's on a previous page. And even then copy only the point to which you're replying, not the entire post. The result will be clearer and shorter threads which will be more enjoyable to read.)

While we do appreciate your effort , the guide is incomplete and incoherent.
It might brick phones of new users.

[In-depth Guide] How to Root, ROM, Unbrick and add CWM to your GT-S5830i

So the Samsung Galaxy Ace is starting to get old and obsolete now. But that makes it the perfect device to mess around and try all these ROM's on! This is going to be a short guide explaining how to root, unbrick and add some ROM's (With downloads) to your device.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
There's a link to all downloads at the end of this post. Note - I do not own the rights to any of the tools used for the rooting, ROM-ing and unbricking process, all credit goes to the rightful owners, unfortunately I can't remember who made each one so shout out to them all!
Downloads - Dropbox
Google Download
Disclaimer: In doing any of the following you are voiding your warranty and will trip the knox counter. If you don't understand the implications of rooting and changing your devices coding, I would advice checking before continuing
Rooting your device
So let's start. First off your gonna want to root your device, right? So in order to do this we are going to use a small zip file (download below)
Step 1 - Connect your PC to your device using a USB cable.
Step 2 - Chances are now you will get a notification pop up on your phone, this will say something along the lines of "Click here to start file transfer." All your gonna want to do is click on this notification and then wait until a button comes up saying connect to PC. Click that button and now we have access to the device from your PC.
Step 3 - Download the root zip file below if you haven't already.
Step 4 - With your phone still on, locate the folder in which your device stores everything and copy the root.zip file into your phones sd directory (if possible), or main directory.
Step 5 - Now power off your phone.
Step 6 - Hold down Power, Volume up and Home to enter recovery mode.
Step 7 - Now you should be presented with some nasty looking words, don't worry this is totally normal! Use your Volume down button to scroll down to "apply update from sdcard" and then press the Home button to confirm.
Step 8 - Again, using your volume controls scroll down to your root.zip file and press the home button
Step 9 - All being well you should get a message saying "Phone Rooted!"
Step 10 - Using your home button press "Reboot system now".
Step 11 - Check if root is installed successfully using an app from the google play store called "Root Checker". All being well you should have a rooted device! If your phone gets stuck on the samsung logo during the initial reboot wait 5-10 mins and if it is still stuck refer to "Unbricking a device".
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Adding Custom recovery to your device
So now your device is rooted your gonna want some kind of custom recovery to replace the old one, for this I am going to use Clockwork Recovery (aka CWM)
Step 1 - Turn your phone on if it's currently off
Step 2 - Connect your device to your PC as mentioned before.
Step 3 - Download "ClockWorkRec_S5830C-i-M.zip" (below)
Step 4 - Copy this file over to your device.
Step 5 - Turn off your device.
Step 6 - Boot into recovery mode using the button combination Power, Volume Up and Home.
Step 7 - Again, using your volume keys scroll down to "install zip from sdcard"
Step 8 - Find ClockWorkRec.zip and click it using the home button.
Step 9 - It should now start the short process of installing CWM.
Step 10 - All being well you should be presented with a yellow screen with ClockworkMod Recovery written at the top.
Side note - On my device every time I boot into recovery I have to reinstall CWM, this isn't a major issue but if it's the same for everyone, one that may need looking into!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Unbricking a device
So after installing CWM I find this is the most common time things go wrong. Provided you followed the instructions nothing should have gone wrong however there's always a chance. Alternatively you could have done everything right and just a ROM or something happened to screw up your device. Don't panic! All you will need to fix this is a computer and a usb cable
Step 1 - Install the following files from below - "S5830IDXMB1_OLBLD1.rar" "16_Shrewsbury.rar" and "Odin3-v1.85.zip"
Step 2 - Extract all these into somewhere sensible in your PC.
Step 3 (Pre checks) - Power your phone into download mode using Power, Volume Up and Volume down. Then when the screen comes on, press Volume Up again.
Step 3 - Open the folder now hosting odin and double click on the .exe file.
FOLLOW THE NEXT FEW STEPS VERY CAREFULLY
Step 4 - Boot up odin. Provided everything is working the ID:COM box should go some kind of color (other than white) and have something like "0:[COM4]" being displayed.
Step 5 - This is the important bit. Click "Bootloader". Now find the folder you extracted to before and click on "S5830IDXMB1_OLBLD1/ BOOT_S5830iDXMB1_REV00.tar.md5"
Step 6 - Now click on "PDA" and select "S5830IDXMB1_OLBLD1/ PDA_S5830iDXMB1_REV00.tar.md5"
Step 7 - Now select "Phone" and choose "S5830IDXMB1_OLBLD1/ MODEM_S5830iDXMB1_REV00.tar.md5"
Step 8 - Finally choose "CSC" and pick "S5830IDXMB1_OLBLD1/ GT-S5830i-MULTI-CSC-OLBLD1.tar.md5"
Step 9 - Make sure that your odin now looks like this -
Click here for image
Step 10 - All being the same, click "Start"
Step 11 - Hold your breath and with some luck it should finally say "PASS!"
Step 12 - Reboot your phone and it will be good as new.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Adding Custom ROM's to your device
In this tutorial I am going to be using to of my favourite (and working!) custom ROM's. These are simplicity and a lollipop firmware update.
Step 1 - Turn on your phone again
Step 2 - Download your chosen ROM of choose below.
Step 3 - Transfer the zip file to your device.
Step 4 - Power down your device.
Step 5 - Enter recovery mode using the keys Power, Volume Up and Home
Step 6 (Optional) - Re-install CWM if not already installed
Step 7 - Make a nandroid backup by scrolling to "backup and restore" and clicking backup.
Step 8 - Go back to the main homepage and scroll down to "wipe cache partition".
Step 9 - Go back to the main homepage again and this time go to "advanced" and then "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Step 10 - Finally go back to the homepage and click on "install zip from sdcard"
Step 11 - Choose your chosen zip of the ROM
Step 12 - Wait until finished then repeat steps 8 and 9 before rebooting the system.
Step 13 - All being well you should now have a Custom ROM installed on your device. If your device gets stuck in a bootloop this could be because of a faulty ROM and you should go back to "Unbricking a device".

Downloads - Dropbox
Google Download
Thanks for reading! If any of that made any sense or helped you out with your device, show me some thanks in the comments or something as this took me quite a while to write!

I just bricked und restored my phone, I don't want to download files from different guides again.

Google Download

Finally my phone is working again. Great thread, awesome

I have just unbricked my phone
Thank you

I know this may not be a popular thread anymore, however, Google says there's a virus detected and won't allow dowbload of the ROOT-S5830C-i-M.zip file.

Google detects 'virus' patterns in many root applications, guess they are very similar to real virus files.
If you download all files together (or the folder) download is possible.
Or make a copy to your own gdrive to download this file.

Sigh, I hope I'm not spamming the forums, but they seem to be inactive and I can't seem to find a solution...
My phone's usb port is aparently damaged. When connected to my computer, it will only charge, with no response whatsoever from the computer.
This by itself represent no problem, as I can just use the SD card for file transfers, but now I need Odin, but without USB it woun't work (evidently).
There is some app like FlashFire that works with S5830i?

Hey, what is the current state of your phone (rooted, unrooted, bricked, etc.) and also what is it your aiming to achieve?

Tutorial - Custom rom(Null), recovery, Unlock, Usb debug, Removing Tizen, Touch Ok

I received as gift a samsung watch, that come with Tizen, I will describe how to do all the steps to install the custom rom.
I have a lot of problem and I write this to help all in special noobs like me.
(no wondershare, no root, no phone needed)
Things I used:
Odin 3.12 - Will write into rom of your device, in this case gear.
Stock Rom (Go to Sammobile, you will have to do a account) - "Rom original to install".
Null rom (don't get the 27, the last version is 23)
ADB
Samsung Drivers
In some cases:
SDB
Downgrade Tizen To Android
I will write the other steps bellow it's just too much things to do it.
I will came back to say all steps. and putting links and forum I was based.

Process
Steps
[Step USB Debuging](Gear)
[Preparation 1 - ADB and verify android](Windows)
[Preparation 1.1 - In case you have tizen installed](Windows)
[Preparation 2 - Intall custom recovery](Windows)
[Preparation 3 - Copying null_23 to sdcard](Windows)
[Installing Null rom 23](Gear)

[Step USB Debuging]
Unlock you phone, and enable usb debuging
You don't need to use a phone to do it. At any version of SO installed you can go without a phone.
In case you think you need the phone to go to configuration you don't need.
Press the touchscreen on the version of your watch, at least 10 times, then press and hold where is writed gear, and you will unlock the phone.
Go to configurations, about the phone select usb debuging.
If you are not seeing the usb debuging, then go to the menu and click 7 times on version, and will unlock the usb debuging.
Go back and enable usb debuging. If you having problems I do a tutorial, but send a picture of your watch and screen.

[Preparation 1](Windows)
First thing you need to know if you are using Android or Tizen OS.
Install Samsung Drivers, to recognize your gear, connect the gear to computer.
Install ADB, or download it.
Then open a terminal, windows + R type cmd and press enter.
Navigate ADB folder, and type adb devices, if no device is show and you have gear plugged and dock and at pc with the right part of gear at the dock, and Samsung drivers, maybe you are using Tizen.
You can't go on until you see the device at adb devices.

[Preparation 1.1](Windows)
In case you wanna see if you are using Tizen then:
Install SDB, or download it.
Then open a terminal, windows + R type cmd and press enter.
Navigate SDB folder, and type sdb devices, if are showing devices you are using Tizen and need to do a Downgrade to Android to continue the installation.
Download the downgrade, unzip and do as I say, because I was doing wrong and my touch stopped working, then I need to reinstall the stock rom.
[Go to download option]Hold power button for 10 seconds, than press it at least 10 times, press until download and then press for 3 seconds and released.
Open Odin, connect you gear to pc.
You have to see [com:X] to see that your gear is connect.
Than select the pit tab, select the file .pit inside the folder you unziped.
Select the file at AP that started with 1.
Uncheck all, and leave only Reset time and Repartion checked.
WAIT until you see PASS, don't remove it at RESET.
Please now you don't go again to download option, you have to go to recovery, if you don't do it your touch will not work, and you will need to reinstall stock and restart full proccess.
[Go to recovery option] Hold power button for 10 seconds, than press it at least 10 times, press until recovery and then press for 3 seconds and released.
[Black screen]You now have to see the lack screen of death to continue, it say you have to connect to Kies and stuff(Just don't do it).
Now at this black screen you can continue.
Close Odin, and open it again.
Select at Ap rom that started with 2, uncheck auto restart, and press start.
WAIT until Odin say to Pass, don't remove at RESET.
If every thing goes right you installed MK7, and can continue the proccess.
Reboot and do the step again [Step USB Debuging].

[Preparation 2 - Intall custom recovery](Windows)
You have android installed at your gear, if you don't have the mk7 version, please download it at sammobile, use odin with checked restart and reset time, and hit start.
Now with MK7 version you will install a modification to when you use the [Go to recovery option], and now will have another feature this recovery.
At this new feature you can install a custom rom, and this case we will install null23(that is the lastest version, do not install null27)
To do so you will install a custom recovery TWRP, this will only affect the recovery option of your rom.
Open Odin, select the twrp.tar, and hit start.
Wait for PASS, and reboot and do the step again [Go to recovery option].
Check if touch is working, if this is not working, and you did a downgrade you need to do it again, i did this step at least 10 times, and the problem was I wasn't doing exatcly as I said.
If touch work you can go to the next step.

[Installing Null rom 23](Gear)
Now if your recovery changed you can go to your new customized recovery.
[Go to recovery option]
Click at wipe.
Wait, and back to menu.
Install, look for null_23.zip
Click at it.
Now you are installing the custom rom.
End
Hope I Helped.

In what step did you actually install null_23 onto the gear??? In recovery I see twrp folder, but null 23 is not under it. I'm stuck at this point because I can't put null 23 in my sd card so I can install it.
