Hello XDAdevelopers community,
first of all, thank you for these very useful Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 forums! Before starting this thread, I have extensively searched the forums for an answer, but could not found a relevant solution. I could only find a guide with rooting options for Ace on the Mac here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1550854 but this is only a small part of the solution for my problem.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 mobile phone, running Android Version 2.2.1, Build number FROYO.XWKA9. I would very much like to update to the latest officially available firmware, then root my phone and afterwards be able to install a Custom ROM. I would like to install preferably a CyanogenMod7-based ROM, because I have read that there are problems with the Camera of Galaxy Ace phones in connection with CyanogenMod9-based ROMs. I found a Custom ROM (Miui Style CM7.2 RC0) that I would like to try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413400
My problem: I have a Macintosh computer only, running Mac OS X Version 10.5.8. I have installed Samsung Kies version 1.3.0.12072_17 for Mac, but it cannot recognize the Galaxy Ace - there are several websites mentioning that Samsung Kies for Mac does not have driver support for Samsung Galaxy Ace...
My questions:
1) Is there a way to update Samsung Galaxy Ace from 2.2 to stock 2.3 on the MAC (Samsung Kies for Mac obviously does not recognize a connected Galaxy Ace)?
2) Is it true, that CyanogenMod7-based custom ROMs can be installed ONLY on a rooted Android version 2.3.x (but not on a rooted 2.2.x)?
3) Could you please recommend a MIUI style custom ROM for Ace, based on cm-7.2.0-cooper STABLE release?
Thank you very much in advance for any useful reply!
1. Try to reinstall the drivers for the phone. KIES should work.
2. Yes. You need to be rooted.
3. Why don't you try MIUI4 or MIUI GB by TeamCooper?
Its an original port..

Hello Shaaan, thank you very much for your reply!
According to 1) Could you please give a link where I can download and reinstall the KIES drivers for Samsung Galaxy Ace? Have you managed to connect successfully a Samsung Galaxy Ace with Kies on a Macintosh computer? On my Mac, Kies constantly shows "Notification: This device is not supported by Kies.", I have enabled USB debugging on my mobile. Should I try a previous version of Kies, I have Kies 1.3.0.12072_17 so far.
According to 2) I plan to install the stock 2.3 first, then root, then install a Cyanogen7.2-based Custom ROM.
According to 3) Please post a link to the latest MIUI4 and MIUI GB by TeamCooper. Are these the latest releases of
* MIUI GB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586773
* MIUI 4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674079
or there are newer versions? I suppose that MIUI4 is CyanogenMod9-based, is the camera bug fixed?
If you still can't update on kies for Mac, go to any Samsung shop and ask them to update it.
MIUI4 does have the camera bug.
CM9 now has a working camera with preview but the camera app has no options other than to take a pic. No video recording yet.

Hi,
i am looking for CWM for Samsung Galaxy GT 8200. In anyone working on it? I have not found any costum recovery for this model which is a pity because it will never get an Update for Kitkat although it is a new version of S3 mini. Otherwise there are Roms available for the old model ( GT-I8190).
best regards
darknolli
No! There is no custom recovery or rom for the gt 8200 in the moment! http://www.android-hilfe.de/showthread.php?t=611863

Hello XDA! I just bought myself again a Note N7000, This phone has already been rooted with a custom firmware called Ultimate N7000 XXLT4 Jellybean 4.1

Is it possible for me to remove the root completly and have the original Android installed?
I dont know anything about the current system and it scares the **** out of me
And the phone is extremly slow..
