Note: CyanogenMod 7 Official Support is HERE
Note 2: THIS THREAD IS FOR THE SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE S5830/S5830B/S5830D/S5830L/S5830T ONLY. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO THE S5830i/C/M
This serves as a warning and guide to all the new users in the Galaxy Ace XDA forums .
Samsung Kies is Samsung's version of iTunes . It allows you to sync all your stuff and back them up in case of phone problems .
But there's one thing Samsung forgot about: Memory optimisation . Kies requires at least 1.5GB of system memory . Even iTunes handles memory better than Kies.....
As a result , many users brick their Aces because they use Kies to update their phone and Kies suddenly stops responding because of RAM .
EDIT: I am not so sure now because some users have successfully updated their devices with Kies .
ROM Manager is a manager for Clockworkmod Recovery , which saves time because you don't have to reboot to recovery .
People, don't use ROM Manager for your own good......
You can also use CWM Manager , which is included in most custom ROMs .
Clockworkmod Recovery supports Galaxy Ace with many versions (with the official one being v4.0.0.9) .
The unofficial versions are v3.2.0.1 (if I'm not wrong) , v5.2.0.3 and v5.2.0.6 .
Edit: WITH CF-ROOT , BUSYBOX is BULLETPROOF
Another note about UNLOCKING YOUR PHONE by consegregate:
consegregate said:
Unlocking is an extremely risky process which touches your efs folder. Your IMEI can be wiped if you do a wrong step and that's the end of your road in the android conquest. Many of us have fallen to the enticing prospect of unlocking where the phone gets out of the box and poof goes back in again in no time.
SO, until we can backup the IMEI, try not to unlock using unorthodox methods. It may work for some, but for most of you you'll be left with ****ty phones because you can't read and follow instructions. So until then, please don't post "bricked mai phone help plz" because if it was because of unlocking, we may not be able to help you.
Lastly, USE THE SEARCH TOOL. AIN'T THERE FOR NOTHING! Cheers, all you sad faces.

A view about this tutorial by Ardentfaith:
Ardentfaith said:
Okay first off, the tutorial is wrong.
I have a USA Samsung Galaxy ACE
WHAT MOST PPL WANT TO DO:
1) root phone 2) have an escape plan when it fails.
Let's work on the escape plan.
Make sure you use Samsung KIES to update to the latest version of Android Gingerbread. Why? You could go to samfirmware to get a firmware and then download odin to flash it but why? You want to BAckup an ORIGINAL working rom.
Now you have Gingerbread. You want a backup. Search for chinoray and clockwordmodace.zip. This'll give you the backup program (a.k.a Clockworkmod Recovery) so you can do a recovery no matter what. (Press home and power to boot into recovery mode. there's an option to install from a zip. Install chinoray's file)
Now backup. Remember to put the backupfile that's made in 2 other places. Your sdcard isn't exactly a bank.
Now you want to root. Do the same recovery thing with a file from davebyone called Acegingerroot.zip. That roots it to an english brazil portuguese kp7 thingie. It's just fastest way to root. You'll have superuser app on now. congrats.
Now what to do with root? Your ace has very little memory. You need to extend the internal app storage to the sd card. The FIRST thing you need to do is go back to Clockworkmod recovery mode and partition your sdcard so that it has a ext4 extension. Then update from ketut.kumajaya's post with cf-rootdtapps2sd???.zip(forgot the full name). That defaults all downloaded apps to run from the sd card.
--Or you can ignore all this and do the chainfire post cf-root guide but ket's modifications are more hassle free.
so now you have a rooted Samsung ACE running Gingerbread running Touchwiz with apps running off the SD card.
There's not a good rom out for Samsung ACE anyways. You might as well stick to this for now.

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:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- 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.tar.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 VERY VERY 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.....
Nice info
Could you add this:
Do not install busybox on custom ROMs because busybox already exist on most custom ROMs, and also stock firmware with CF-Root. If you're already do so, it mean that you're ready to reflash your phone ...or try to remove all files named "busybox" with root explorer then flash CF-Root b79 (then flash b80 for KPN users)

Q0: What is root? What advantages can it do to my phone?
A0: "Rooting" your phone is the process of allowing Superuser access to your phone (a.k.a su or sudo access) , thus opening up system files to the user .
This is usually needed/done by custom ROMs .
More info can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooting_(Android_OS)
"Rooting is a process that allows users of mobile phones and other devices running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's Linux subsystem with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and manufacturers put on some devices. It is analogous to jailbreaking on devices running the Apple iOS operating system."
Q1: What is a custom ROM? What to can it do to my phone?
A1: A custom ROM can be either:
- Modifications to the official company ROMs (a.k.a Stock ROMs) , which increases its speed and stability compared to original Stock ROMs .
These ROMs include:
-Blackhawk (by ketut.kumajaya)
-Fla.sh (by fla.sh) (No Support Available anymore , therefore no link)
-Sangingerace and Persian Gulf (by sasanekabaran)
-The BehradGH ROM series (by BehradGH):
-BehradGH ROM Series KPB
-BehradGH ROM Series KPN/KPH
-BehradGH ROM Series KP9
-NoName (by an0nym0us_)
-My-UI (by jusada)
-GingerReal (by redmaner and MuayThaiFighter08 (I think , sorry if I got it wrong !) )
-FirstUA (by Grif_07)
-Glsmt (by sametpoyraz)
-TheMyth (by devilsking) (Thread Closed)
-Blockbuster ROM Goes Ace
-Mush69ROM (Thread Closed)
-TurboBlue (by tazlooney89)
There are other ROMs that do not use Stock ROMs and are built from scratch by these AWESOME people:
-AOSP 2.3.7 (A work-in-progress by me , fla.sh , Jekle_Ace and consegregate)
-Grif_07's CM7.1 BETA-Kang 2.3.5
-BehradGH CyanoAce CM7.1 RC1 2.3.5
-Infinity ROM (Based on CM7.2 by nims11)
-Infinity ROM (Based on CM7.1 by nims11)
-Gingercruzt (Based on CM7.2 by nims11)
-Touchwiz4 Style CM7.2 ROM (by slaid480)
-HaniMod*LiteStar (By sasanekabaran)
-Icecream Sunday & Speed Blur (by jusada)
-Cre.ActiveX (CM7.1 by saigetshu)
That is all you actually need to know
Q2: What's Recovery Mode? What is Download Mode? What are the different "Modes" that my phone can go into?
A2: Recovery Mode is a place where you go to if your phone is ever "stuck" or in a "bootloop" if you installed a ROM wrongly .
The stock recovery mode can't do much and therefore if you want better advantages such as:
-Backing up your current ROM and data
-Fixing Force Close Permissions
-Wiping your Dalvik-Cache
-Wiping Battery Stats (if your battery meter is jumpy , like all custom Stock ROMs)
-Install unsigned .zip files
-Formatting various parts of your internal memory (/system , /data etc)
-Mount USB Storage in Recovery Mode
The only thing you can do is use CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY
For Download Mode , it is a Samsung-exclusive feature that allows you to "Download" custom stock ROM files into your phone .
It works like a normal install in ClockWorkMod Recovery (a.k.a CWM) , except that it automates everything (wiping data , wiping system stuff)
These are possible modes which you can use to enter different places (for advanced people only):
Home + Power = Recovery Mode (whether stock or CWM)
Home + Volume Down + Power = Download Mode (normal)
Home + Volume Up + Power = ARMv9 Dump Mode
Home + Volume Down + Volume Up + Power = Download Mode (EMERGENCY)
Q2.5: What is ClockworkMod Recovery? How do I use it?
A2.5: ClockworkMod Recovery is one of the best custom recoveries out there and was made by the AWESOME koush
Here's how you use it by devilcode:
devilcode said:
There you go.... not from v4.0.0.9 but its of a old version but will give you and idea or to anyone else .. will not post a link to some other site so just posting the explaination here
Options explained
1. reboot system now
This one is self-explanatory.
Reboots the phone.
2. apply update from sdcard
This can be used for installation of any official or unofficial update, ROM, kernel, theme etc. that is in a zip format installable from recovery, as long as the file is named update.zip and it has been placed on the root of your SD card (i.e. not in any sub-folder). Selecting this option (and most of the options featured below) will bring up a rather annoying confirmation prompt but this has saved us on multiple occasions from a lot of trouble we would have been into due to accidental key presses.
3. wipe data/factory reset
This option wipes all user data on the device as well as cache. Doing this will leave your phone in the state it was in when you bought it or when any custom ROM was first installed. It will also wipe any sd-ext partition that you might have set up.
4. wipe cache partition
Wipes the cache partition of the device to clear all the data accumulated there over use. This is often used before installing a new ROM, app, kernel or any similar mod via recovery.
5. install zip from sdcard
This option brings up the following sub-menu:
A. apply /sdcard/update.zip
This one is essentially the same as the ‘apply update from sdcard’ option of the main menu.
B. choose zip from sdcard
Lets you install any zip file (with any name) from any location on your SD card. The file can be for a ROM, a kernel, an application, a theme or any mod as long as it is in recovery-flashable zip format. This is the most widely used option for installing a ROM that you have downloaded and copied to your SD card. Entering this option will bring up a screen that will allow you to browse your SD card for the zip file and select it for installation
C. toggle signature verification
Turns the signature verification on and off. When signature verification is on, you will not be able to install any custom ROMs that haven’t been signed by the developers (most custom ROMs aren’t signed). Switching it off skips the signature verification check and proceeds with the installation.
D. toggle script asserts
Seldom-used option for a vast majority of users. It simply turns script asserts on or off. If you don’t know about these (i don’t), it’s best not to change this option. (For advanced users ONLY)
E. +++++Go Back+++++
Takes you back to the main recovery menu, obviously!
6. backup and restore
Undoubtedly one of the most important features provided by a custom recovery, the backup and restore feature – also known as Nandroid backup – allows you to take a backup of your phone’s entire internal memory including all partitions, and save it on the SD card.
A. Backup
Takes a Nandroid backup, as explained above.
B. Restore
Lets you restore a previously taken backup. Entering this option presents you with a list of existing backups from the SD card that you can choose from for restoration.
C. Advanced Restore
This option is similar to the Restore option but once a backup has been selected to be restored, this option allows you to choose what parts of it to restore. You can choose to restore the boot, system, data, cache and sd-ext partitions.
7. mounts and storage
Allows you to perform maintenance tasks on all the internal and external partitions of your android device.
A. mount/unmount /system, /data, /cache, /sdcard or /sd-ext
These options let you toggle between mounting or unmounting these respective partitions. Most Galaxy Ace users need to mount /system and /data for ROM installations
B. format boot, system, data, cache, sdcard or sd-ext
These let you directly format any of these partitions. Take extreme care with this option as formatting any of these partitions will result in losing all data on them, especially the boot and system partitions. Formatting the system partition will remove your ROM and leave your phone without an operating system while wiping the boot partition may brick your phone unless you restore or flash another one before rebooting your device.
What's lucky is that Galaxy Ace users don't have the option to format the boot partitions.
C. mount USB storage
Lets you enable USB mass storage mode for your SD card right from recovery so that you can connect it to your computer via USB and transfer any files to/from it without having to leave recovery.
8. advanced
This section contains a few options most users will not require, though these can come handy quite often, especially wiping Dalvik cache, which is required before most ROM installations. Here are the options from this section:
A. Reboot Recovery
Lets you directly and very conveniently reboot from recovery right back into recovery. This is a useful option for certain back-to-back installations that require the device to at least boot once between them OR installing another version of CWM (like v5.2.0.6).
B. Wipe Dalvik Cache
Allows you to wipe the cache for the Dalvik virtual machine (the custom-built Java virtual machine for Android).This is required before most ROM installations and at other occasions too, for fixing some problems.
C. Wipe Battery Stats
Wipes the saved battery usage statistics and effectively recalibrates the battery. Useful in various scenarios when Android isn’t showing correct battery levels.
*This style of wiping battery stats is no longer useful*
D. Report Error
In case of errors, this feature can be used to save a log of recent ClockworkMod recovery operations on the SD card that you can later report from Android using ROM Manager.
E. Key Test
Lets you press any of the hardware keys to see if they are properly functioning, and to see their key codes.
F. Partition SD Card
This option gives you a no-frills way to partition your SD card properly for use with ROMs that supports a2sd (a hack that moves entire applications to the SDcard). Once this option is selected, you will be given options to choose the sizes for the /sd-ext partition as well as an optional /swap partition on the SD card, and will then automatically format it for you, leaving the remaining space for normal SD card usage. This option will wipe all data from your SD card so use it with caution!
G. Fix Permissions
Fixes the file permissions for the internal memory partitions back to default. This is very useful as a fix for several errors and Force-Closes that start appearing after you or an application you installed and provided root access end up messing up the permissions of important files.
Hope it helps :d

Q3: Help me, my phone is in a bootloop and won't go into the Launcher!
A3: Firstly , define your bootloop:
If you are stuck at the "Galaxy Ace" logo , that means you did not make a factory reset and cache wipe from Recovery Mode . Do that , then reflash and try again .
If it still does not work , your kernel might have a problem because you did not install your kernel properly .
For that I recommend CF-ROOT for Gingerbread and Froyo
However , if your phone is stuck at the bootanimation:
Stuck for more than 10mins and is repeating the animation: You did not flash your ROM properly . Refer to above .
Stuck for less than 10mins and is NOT repeating: I suggest you have some patience
Q4: AHHHHHHHH! I flashed a theme but now my phone is going into force closes and bootloops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A4: You probably flashed a theme that was meant for another firmware version (E.g. flashing a KPH theme into KPO) .
In that case , all you have to do is flash another theme which is for that particular firmware and you're saved
Everytime I flash a theme I will make a backup prior to installing . This ensures that I can restore back if I did something wrong
Q5: Is there any overclock for the Galaxy Ace?
A5: With CF-ROOT 3.7 b83 I can achieve 100% stability with 902Mhz but 10% decrease in battery life :/
Q6: What about Adobe Flash support?
A6: It is only PARTIALLY supported on CyanogenMod 7 , but may work on stock Samsung ROMs if on Cf-root .
It works on the stock browser and Dolphin Browser HD , but does not work on Opera .
Q7: What is Cyanogenmod? Why do so much people love it?
A7: Cyanogenmod is a ROM built from a modified generic AOSP build , which offers faster speed , better stability and even eliminates some problems induced by stock ROMs (i.e. In our case , the Sleep of Death a.k.a SoD) .
This ROM was made by none other than the legendary Cyanogen .
This makes the phone fast , stable and yet problem-free .
however , CM7 for the Ace is currently unofficial and in early release candidate and beta versions and is NOT recommended for newbies as they might encounter into problems they might not know how to solve .
Also , the things that were added by Samsung WILL NOT APPEAR in Cyamogenmod 7 .
If you rely on Samsung's additions too much , I suggest that you revert back to stock
Q8: Oh no! My phone is bricked! I accidentally flashed the wrong device in ROM Manager!
A8: Oh no . You might wanna try either:
Method 1:
-Remove the SIM card , SD card and battery from the phone
-Hold Volume Down + Home + Power
-(Optional) Bring it near a heat source .
-While still holding those buttons , place the battery into the phone
-It should go into Download Mode .
-Try to flash a full package file via ODIN and your phone should come back to life .
If that doesn't work , try Method 2:
-Bring the phone to a nearby service center for repair .
Q9: Hello, what's the difference between a full package ROM and a one package ROM?
A9: When you download a ROM from SamMobile , they have all the files in a .rar , the contents of the .rar determine its Package:
A Full Package ROM has quite a few files when the .rar is opened , one of them being a .tar.md5 if I remember correctly .
A One Package ROM only has one .tar file when the .rar archive is opened .

I figured I would post this fix here in case anyone else ran into this problem. This is assuming you did not change the folder names and let Clockworkmod create them. I haven't had it happen until today, but it's not a nice message to see when you are trying to do a restore.
Code:
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!
To fix this problem use the code below. Substitute the final folder name for the backup you need to fix.
Code:
adb shell
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/[I]backupname[/I]
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
When that finishes, re-run the restore and everything should be fine.
NOTE: As rpearl stated, there could be something really wrong with your nandroid, so use this tutorial as a learning experience and not a fix-all. In my case, everything was fine after restoring. However, that may not always be the case. Do this with caution.

A11: Just flash back to DXKC1 (Froyo 2.2.1) or the Gingerbread version for your region , you're bound to fool Samsung
Q12: I have been hearing everyone talk about this file named build.prop. What is that?
A12: Okay, build.prop is the build properties of your current ROM.
I will give more explanation of the different entries as time goes on (LOL).
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse - (0/1) Variable Values.
0: Allows the network power collapse, thus wasting battery
1: Disables the network power collapse, thus saving battery.
ro.ril.hsxpa - (0/1/2/3)Variable values.
0: Disables HSUPA completely.
1: Disables stock HSUPA speeds (speeds capped)
2: Enables stock HSUPA speeds (speeds capped)
3: Enables uncapped HSUPA speeds
Q13: What is CF-ROOT? Is it edible?
A13: LOL no it isn't! CF-ROOT is short for Chainfire-Root (a.k.a Rooting + some tweaks). It has root and installs 3 apps: CWM Manager, Superuser and Tweaks.
CWM Manager is a substitute for ROM Manager and allows:
- Rebooting to recovery
- Backing up using app
- Restore using app
- Deleting backups
- Flashing .zip files
- Flashing zImage kernels (a.k.a CF-ROOT fixes)
The current version is b84, which is only for XWKT5/7 firmwares.
You can use b83, which is the universal CF-ROOT.
Q14: I keep running out of internal memory. Why does this happen? How do I solve it then?
A14: It is because the Galaxy Ace's internal memory is only less than 200MB, therefore too many apps will cause the phone to run out of memory. There are 3 known solutions to that:
1: DarkTremor's Apps2SD (DTA2SD)
- Most commonly used way of moving apps to internal memory
- Has an app for it at the Android Market (A2SDGUI)
- Uses a flashable zip (find it in XDA)
- Easiest to use among the 3
2: link2SD
- Makes use of symbolic links to move apps to the SD-ext partition
- I don't know much about this one
3: S2E (simple2ext)
- An app that's available in the Android Market
- Only for CM7 ROMs and the only one working for Ice Cream Sandwich (by maclaw)
- Hardest to use among the 3
That is all.
Q?: This thread seems inactive! When will you update it?
A?: I will update my thread whenever I want to , once I find new information .
Thank you for reading this thread so that one less Galaxy Ace gets bricked
For me, this should be a sticky post on development.. Maybe you need to request this as sticky post from any MOD and update all about Ace there..

EmoBoiix3 said:
This serves as a warning to all the new users in the XDA forums .
ROM Manager is a manager for Clockworkmod Recovery , which saves time because you don't have to reboot to recovery .
However , it doesn't support Galaxy Ace yet .
You can probably use CWM Manager instead , which is included in most custom ROMs .
Clockworkmod Recovery , on the other hand , supports Galaxy Ace with many versions (with the official one being v4.0.0.9) .
REMEMBER THIS , DO NOT INSTALL/DOWNLOAD ANYTHING WITH ROM MANAGER . Use Clockworkmod Recovery for Backups , Restoring , Flashing .zip or whatever the Recovery can do .
IF YOU TRY TO INSTALL ANYTHING USING ROM MANAGER YOU MIGHT NEED TO BRING YOUR PHONE AND WARRANTY CARD TO THE NEAREST SERVICE CENTER .

That's a good question . Could you post a screenshot ?
I'm not the developer of this great ROM. But I consider that it's so good that it must appear in the XDA forum. The developer is ELITE, and he is the person that must upload to the appropiate forum, not me. But I think that everybody would have the opportunity of knowing it.

Thanks for the translation!!
As you are using this rom can you tell me more about the bugs? Like what else is not working besides screen brightness?
And what does this mean "Not a working copy /paste "??
And last thing why this rom is not posted here on this forum? (maybe you can tell me!! )
The ROM is working perfectly and the only minor bug I have detected is is relation to the brightness and the volume. Both are ok, only is not working for increasing or decreasing, except if you put the fix.
Ref to the fix for the SD, I couldn't identify the problem
ELITE, the developer is preparing a new version, beta4r2, that include theses fixes
Ref to the "And what does this mean "Not a working copy /paste "??", ELITE talks about that this ROM is developed under the Nexus base IMM30B, it's not an evolution of any CM
Ref to the "And last thing why this rom is not posted here on this forum? (maybe you can tell me!! )". All his former developments have been issued only in the htcmania web. ELITE doesn't look too much interested in translating to english the explanations. However after 15 months of flashing roms, for me this is the best ROM I have never settled down in my SGS, and I consider that everybody must know it, enjoy it and contribute to make it even better.
Two messages more and I'll be authorize to talk about this development in the correct forum.
Sorry for this one.
Besides, once this ROM appear there, users from HTCmania will start to talk in English about their own experience
This Rom seems very promising.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
I'm using this ROM for more than 10 days and the last Beta4 since 48 hours ago and it's really the best ROM I have never settled down.
The developer maybe is not intresred in uploading this ROM that XDA subforum due to XDA is very strict for the new ROMs, and he is not really interested in spending a lot of time in burocracy instead of development.
Never mind, here you are this ROM
Elitemobil the beta4r2 will upload soon, that comment yesterday...

I have been running this for a few hours now. it seems dead fast.
And some how it has got my 3g working again.
Why is this rom in the Q&A??

For reconnecting 3g again you must only switch off the data, put the 3g and switch on the data
I'm not the developer, only I make a reference of this great ROM. And the only place where I can do is in this subforum.
I hope that the developer put his great job in the appropiate forum.
This rom work perfectly for daily use. The only bug is the permanent signal bar.
But, do you have Elite's permission to publish it here?

Turned on my Wi-Fi
Samsung account asked to make update, and install push service
Play store forced to make updates
Facebook app section expired
Then the phone starts to be super slow, then the screen's touch stopped responding and everything was going crazy and lagging and not working.
I was successfully able to stop the PLAY Store updates and turned off my Wi-Fi
then I removed the battery only to force restart
The phone was stuck at the message of ( SAMSUNG Galaxy Note N7000 ) and nothing, after several seconds the processor area is super HOT
Sometimes I was able to see the BootAnimation with the whole music played.
I can successfully enter the download mode and Recovery mode
A message in red is written in Recovery mode:
E:Error in /data/log/recovery_kernel_log.txt (read-only file system)
I am currently using PhliZ
I don't want any format of any type please, the device contains important information especially the SNote app
any way I can recover my phone back, and if possible without formatting ?
By the way I downloaded Odin, rooted the phone with the right matching version, updated to official German jellybean, then downloaded the UAE version to support Arabic language and the system just went updating and all the information was not erased, then the whole things I mentioned above happened.
One of the apps that was always crashing (Root Toolbox PRO), caused the system to hang for several seconds then a message appear saying it stopped responding

I got that error message too E:Error in /data/log/recovery_kernel_log.txt this morning while trying to reflash JB but it was something odd i was trying and i think i got it due to that, as you can enter recovery you will have to format data in order to fix this or format everything to reflash firmware but before you do that, go to philz recovery and then to mounts/Storage go to last option mount USB (while it is connected to the computer ofcourse) you should see both the internal and external card on computer after that with all your data. Back it up on computer. Unmount once you are done and then do all the wipes and reflash JB.
Cheers!!!
Mounting failed
I am currently working on PhilZ-cwm6-JPLSB-UAE-4.93.6-signed
then I coped recovery CWM-6.0.1.2-n7000.zip to the external sd card
I booted in recovery mode, and installed update
then I followed your instructions but no mobiles where detected by the windows 7, a unknown Samsung android is detected in control panel > printers & devices
every time I restart the phone it returns back to PhilZ
Is there is a windows drivers problem ?

Hoping that the sim bug will be fixed soon
I dont mind using the Single SIM as I use it for single sim most of the time. Thank you for sharing it here. I'm downloading it now.
an awesome rom
This is the best rom I have ever used on my Sparkle V. Very smooth ,
but I found a bug - while backing up data on local storage the phone hangs and reboots itself in a minute, but that's not a major issue.:good:
guys, I tried flashing, but failed. ,
- first I tried wipe everything, and then flash. But flash or rom failed, giving sole softlink issue. I tried multiple times, but failed. Finally, fixed issue by having another 4.4.4 rom installed first and then flashing this rom without wiping system
- once flash was successful, I rebooted device, but it keeps looping wihout booting up. OP suggested multiple iterations of (battery remove, goto recovery, wipe dalvik, boot) , but I am in my 7th attempt and device not booting still.
How many times you guys had to wipe dalvik? Very much anxious to test this MIUI rom !

I am coming from FIUI rom. Not sure if that matters (as anyway I am wiping everything before starting rom flashing).
I was on Fiui too
Then i flash cm11 ,then miui

thanks! But why you installed CM11 first before installing Miui. OP didn't asked for it. Just curious to know!
And where you got CM11 from? From Cyanogenmod download page for "sprout"?

not downloading rgt now....will instead wait for another a bit stable build...a salute to your work...hope ur working on fixes...already pressed thanx button...keep going boy...
Thanks all. Installed cm11, then installed ROM with the patch, and avoided flashing any gapps. It worked! Just one bootloop, which went away after wiping dalvik.
Thanked OP!!
BTW, any ways to make the navigation buttons look big. And possibly increase bar height?
about 2nd sim
bro plz plz get 2nd sim working.
thanks for your work and you are awesome.
@teztaz--v3
how to make navigation bar transparent ?
and a big thanks for your beautiful awesome work
no FCs seen so far!! Looks perfectly usable as daily rom.
Just one problem seen :
Can not install Google maps. Says insufficient space, which is strange. Also failed to install Link2SD. Tried even installing from ADB, gave error INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED. Hope Miui is not blocking it.
Every thing is fine bro its super rom but I can't move apps to SD card
Thanks bro! gr8 work! bt can u make e single zip with all fixes? people will get confused with so many patches

B'coz this ROM is based on CM11, it's impossible to get multi sim working
I have purchased my Samsung S10 Exynos and successfully rooted it using the only possible ways that have seems to be available so far. I have gained root, but I was wondering if anyone has solved the issue of having to turn the device on with all 3 keys held down at the same time. I understand that this is because the rooted version of the phone has be installed on the recovery of the phone, but I hope that there becomes a way to turn on the phone with root and use only the power button. I check from time to time, but it seems that this has not been solved yet. If anyone can find a solution for me so that I do not have to keep searching then I will reward them $100. An idea that I had is if there was a way to modify the power button to boot into recovery by itself? I believe this would be impossible but if anyone could think of a way to do that then that would solve the problem. I am okay with never being able to unroot the device if this would be the case.
How often do you cold boot?
reboot:
- Magisk boot menu
- adb reboot recovery

Hello, thank you for the suggestion. I thought about that idea already and I forgot to mention it in my post. I am looking for a way to do it via a cold boot. I know about the reboot into recovery method already, and I know of a way to map the power button to reboot into recovery if held down, but I am looking for a way to cold boot into recovery with just the power button.
I like your idea, but if there was a way to do it as a cold boot then that is ideally what I'm looking for. Your method would work if there was a way to just keep the phone shut down and wait until I hold the power button to turn it on and then it boot into recovery. If you can think of a way to do that then let me know.
The reason I am seeking this is because I root the S10 out to have a proprietary app on it and the app requires root to function properly. I need the power button to boot with root on the S10 so that it will always do so and my employees / customers will not access the non-rooted side of the phone by accident. The 3 button combination is too difficult, so I would need to resort so either a S8 or S9 if the S10 won't allow power button only to boot with root access. The app that I make uses a great amount of battery life so I need the ability to shut down the phone and cold boot it back into recovery. Thanks.
Hi, I assume you have rooted using the magisk-patched-recovery method (patched AP file) and if memory serves and from what I am re-reading this method does require the 3-button-combo to boot to rooted system.
When I first got my s10 and rooted this was the only method at the time, but then came custom kernels with built-in magisk.
With this method from power menu if I...
- reboot, phone will reboot to rooted system.
- power off, the power on button will boot to rooted system.
In fact I'm not sure how/if I can boot to non-rooted system with this method.
I currently on custom rom AmbasadiiRom 2.2 with AmbasadiiCruel Kernel G97xF-v3.10.
There are a few custom kernels that have built-in magisk. You will have to check rom compatibility but believe they work on samsung stock based firmware/roms, AmbasadiRomi is based on stock firmware.
- Cruel Kernel
- ThundeRStormS kernel
If you like I can provide a step-by-step, but you will lose all data as it will require flashing stock unpatched firmware, unpatched twrp in odin then custom rom (optional - depending on if the custom kernel does work on stock firmware) & custom kernel.

Awesome. Your solution sounds perfect for what I was looking for. Yes, I got my S10 back over a year ago and rooted it with patched AP file and magisk. I was only able to find that method even up until yesterday. I would like a step by step if you are able to quickly put one together. If it works then I am glad to grant you the reward for your help. I am willing to do this in the easiest way possible, even if it requires wiping data. I never used the phone so wiping is no problem at all. I am looking to do this to several devices so the easiest and fastest way would be the best. I will look into your comments and see if I can figure out doing this over this weekend. Will keep everyone updated.

I just read some info on the links you provided and i think i can figure it out. if i have any trouble then ill let you know. Dont worry about a step by step for now unless I have any trouble. Thanks!
Here is a bit of a step-by-step for Samsung s10 Exynos Model:SM-G973F
Info below is based on using December Security patch: 2020-12-01 firmware G973FXXS9DTK9 (Android 10) and Ambasadii Rom
NOTICE: The easiest and fastest way would probably be flashing kernel with stock firmware/rom. I have only done custom (but stock based) roms with kernel so am assuming the steps (5a.) for stock firmware/rom, you may want to post in chosen kernel thread to confirm if those steps are correct.
- both kernels I mentioned say they are compatibly with stock roms & AmbasadiiCruel Kernel is based on Cruel Kernel so I assume that would also work on stock rom.
This assumes you have already unlocked your bootloader, if not check this Recovery thread under Instructions: Odin (windows) - steps 1-6 for how to unlock bootloader.
1. Download all files needed to pc.
- Current latest firmware G973FXXS9DTK9, I use frija tool as downloading from samfirmware.com is very slow.
Enter Model, CSC, check the auto box & click check update and download.
Once complete unzip with 7Zip or preferred zip tool.
- In Recovery thread download latest twrp for device, is this case for S10 G973F latest twrp is - twrp-3.5.0_9-1-beyond1lte.img.tar
Under Instructions: Odin (windows) download
- Odin v3.14.1
- avb disabled vbmeta.tar
- click link to multidisabler-samsung-2.* and download latest version from there, currently multidisabler-samsung-3.1.zip
If sticking with stock and custom kernel
- easiest one looks like it would be Cruel kernel or AmbasadiiCruel kernel.
- check kernel thread of choice for compatibility with stock firmware and specific install instructions.
For custom rom in this example for Ambasadii rom
- Download files from Ambasadii rom site
- ROM.G97xF.XXS9DTK9-v2.2.by.ambasadii.zip
- mods_DTJA-v1.3.4.zip
- magisk_safetynet_fix.zip
- AmbasadiiCruel-G97xF-v3.10.zip (rom does include previous kernel 3.9 but this one is updated to latest magisk 21.2)
Bootlogo patcher - this will get rid of the warning about bootloader being unlocked when booting phone. (optional)
TWRP_Bootlogo_patcher.zip
Copy the below files to phones external SDCard
- multidisabler-samsung-3.1.zip
- TWRP_Bootlogo_patcher.zip (optional)
- chosen kernel zip - if sticking with stock
Custom Rom files
- ROM.G97xF.XXS9DTK9-v2.2.by.ambasadii.zip
- mods_DTJA-v1.3.4.zip
- magisk_safetynet_fix.zip
- AmbasadiiCruel-G97xF-v3.10.zip
2. Flashing stock firmware - Odin
- Open Odin on pc
- Turn off the phone
- Use vol down + bixby, then connect usb cable to phone from pc to start the phone in download mode, press vol up to confirm and go to download mode.
- In Odin under log you should see added, I also like to turn off auto reboot under the options tab and do manual reboot once complete but that's up to you.
- Add BL, AP, CP & CSC from the unzipped firmware downloaded in step 1. The AP & CSC can take a little time as they are larger files.
- Once all files added click start and wait until complete, you should see SUCCESS in the top left area once done.
- If you turned off auto-reboot then unplug usb and do manual reboot by pressing vol down + power for 7 seconds, else phone should reboot automatically then unplug.
3. Once phone boots up
- complete setup and connect to Wi-Fi or data
- skip adding Google & Samsung accounts.
- enable developer settings & check OEM unlock is on.
- turn off the phone.
4. Flashing TWRP Recovery - Odin
- In the Recovery thread under Instructions: Odin (windows) continue on from step 8 including formatting data and flashing multidisabler zip which you copied to SDCard.
- in twrp go back to wipe and select advanced and wipe data, cache & dalvik-cache
5a. If sticking with stock & custom kernel - Read NOTICE at top of post
Assumed Steps
- Still in twrp recovery go back to main menu
- select install and flash kernel zip, then TWRP_Bootlogo_patcher.zip
- Not sure if magisk_safetynet_fix is needed or works on stock, would need to confirm in Ambasadii thread.
- go back to main menu and select reboot & system
- give the phone a few minutes to start, and then complete setup including adding your accounts.
- once setup is complete open magisk and it will run additional setup, and then phone will reboot
- done
OR
5b. If flashing Custom Rom & Kernel - steps below for Ambasadii Rom
- Still in twrp recovery go back to main menu
- select install and flash ROM.G97xF.XXS9DTK9-v2.2.by.ambasadii.zip, choose options in aroma - once the install is complete exit back to twrp recovery
- select and flash mods_DTJA-v1.3.4.zip, then magisk_safetynet_fix.zip, then AmbasadiiCruel-G97xF-v3.10.zip, then TWRP_Bootlogo_patcher.zip
- once you have flashed all files go back to main menu and select reboot & system
- give the phone about 8 minutes to start, and then complete setup including adding your accounts.
- once setup is complete open magisk and it will run additional setup, and then phone will reboot
- done
6. If you went with Ambasadii Rom
- you will then notice status bar icons are pushed to the right behind the camera
- open rom control, grant superuser rights
- select status bar/options and play around with notch adjustments and positions
- can be a little confusing to start but play around and you'll get the hang of it.
Hope this info helps, let me know if you need any clarification/detail to any of the steps
Also no need for reward, happy to help

Hey There, Been busy lately and I haven't gotten around to trying any of these methods until today. Today I attempted the stockrom+CruelKernel. I am having a strange problem. I am acquiring root but as a read-only. I can not make any changes to system files, I can only view them. Can you tell me if you are able to modify or add to the system directory? Let me know. I know your phone is running custom rom + custom kernel, so I just might have to do that if that is the only fix. I have tried several things and read all of the threads but can not find anyone else that is experiencing this issue / I can not find a fix. I'm about to try the custom rom (stock based) + custom kernel to see if that works. If you can tell me if you have access to read/write system files then let me know so I know if this is even possible. Thanks.
I have found out that I can modify system files through twrp recovery, but when I boot into the main operating system then I have root but as read-only.
Hey, sorry for late reply - ever since xda updated it's not sending me emails when I get a notification.
As for the system directory being read-only, I believe this is normal even with root. Root just gives access to the /root dir that you would not normally have without it.
- my system dir permissions by default are 755/rwxr-xr-x
After a bit of searching looks like there are a few ways to change permissions
- twrp, can mount system as r,w - but as you said this reverts on reboot
- adb shell, and chmod permissions, same why you do with linux
- in android using either root explorer or x-plore, haven't tried root explorer as it is a paid app but did test with x-plore and working fine.
check this vid on changing the root access to superuser+mount writable which allows for changes in read-only folders and how to set permissions for files/folders.
I not sure if changing permissions on the system folder itself is safe or would cause any issues, I just created a folder within system and set permissions to 644 reclusive, created some files and rebooted - created folders/files and modified permissions remained fine after reboot.
If you need write permissions in system to install apps as system/app you may find this magisk module useful, it's called App Systemizer which allows you to use apps as system apps systemlessly. Just search in magisk modules.
Hope this helps.

Cool, I'll give your suggestions a try. I'm a fan of ES File Explorer. They have a root explorer built in their app and previously I had a S8 Exynos and a S9 Exynos and that app worked for those phones but with this S10 the switch is grayed out and no other app is working for me either. On my older S8 Exynos and S9 Exynos I rooted with stock-rom + stock-kernel and just needed TWRP+Magisk and I always was able to modify or add/delete system files with ES file explorer. I guess Samsung is getting more and more strict on allowing this by making us hop through more hoops in order to do so. So far I only have ready only system files on the S10 Exynos which is new to me because the S8 and S9 always allowed modifying system files in the past but I will try your methods you suggested. Worst case I'll attempt the custom-rom + custom-kernel and see if that works. Right now I have stock-rom+custom-kernel. I was able to make changes in the system files in TWRP but hopefully your method will allow me to edit system files without having to switch to TWRP every time I want to change something. I will keep you updated.
On a side note I just rooted a Samsung S20 Exynos and turns out that the system files are read only everywhere whether in TWRP or not, so Samsung keeps making things more difficult on us all. I currently have no way of modifying system files on the S20 no matter what I try but that phone is still much newer so I will give the magicians more time before I look into the forums more for that phone. Right now if I can get the S10 Exynos then I'll be happy.
I'll let you know how things progress. If I get what I need done with this S10 then I am happy to give you a donation for your help in this matter. I would not have gotten this far without your help. Previously the S8 and S9 days were so much easier and people had youtube videos galore that described how to root. The process was easy and everything was unlocked as read write back in the S8 and S9 days.
Yeah I use to use ES on android 6-8 then moved of to solid explorer, very similar ui to ES and also has root explorer but unfortunately it does not work to change permissions on s10 android 10 (bloody samsung/google). So far the only free one I have found is x-plore to be able to do this now. Looks like google is locking down android even more now with android 11
