Flashing s5830i firmware (please help)

hello there xda users
i have recently bricked my phone and managed to reflash the firmware, but, i had to add the bootloader file with the split firmware package.
what i want to do is install the latest XXLD3 firmware on top of the current s5830ixxkk5/gingerbread.xxlk1 firmware package but im worried because i am thinking that the bootloader file has to be the same as the firmware if you know what i mean. can i install the xxld3 on the xxkk5 bootloader without bricking my phone again? any help would be appreciated. thanks

First of all this development section......
for queries u should have gone to other thread.......
As far as flash is concerned ....... i think u can... i am not pretty much sure but i think so.
but if u need a bootloader file go to unbrick tutorial of mine and download the package for unbrick... take the bootloader file from there..... its from xxld

Use ODIN flash YOUR stock rom csc/pda/modem to wait till it boots, after that go to download mode again and just flash pda of XXLD3 using ODIN again. For flashing you dont need the bootloader use ODIN 1.84. I change my WHLA1 to XXLA2 just by flashing the pda of xxla2
And by the way remember what feetsonfire said, this queries need to be on general section not in development

First, use Triangel Away app and reset counter binary
Second way that always work, flash Stock ROM that only compatible with your region (Ex: if you're live and buy your phone in India, flash stock ROM India Region). Different region stock ROM can be your problem.
Hope that works

unless you have a efs backup, you need to repair imei with z3x if it's supported,
baseband, the file can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489238
download the appropriate file for your variant, it's up to you if you want to flash back to stock or not, but just do the dd command that's listed there, with the modem.bin file in that zip file.

The partition that holds your IMEI is probably corrupt or wiped - you need to send it in for repairs.

I put a full AL10 2Gb update.zip on dload directory on an sdcard. Yes, I have discovered that's the hardware is an AL10 :-/
I did the *#*#2846579#*#* code on dialer, but I've get the "NO update file" message.
An idea ?

Thx a lot. The update started. But infortunately, it doesn't match the version AL10 != L51
I think, I must:
- Unlock bootlader
- change Hardware Region
- Flash good rom for this hardware

Yes, exactly.
-You unlock bootloader,
-flash correct Chinese TWRP into recovery2 with fastboot,
-flash Hardware Region zip with TWRP,
-flash correct ROM with 3 buttons.
That's what I did.

Hi! How did you unlock the bootloader? It needs IMEI and the Product ID from the device for the bootloader unlock code. But both of them are blank.
If I manage to unlock the bootloader and then flash TWRP, I think I could do the rest easily. But stuck at unlocking bootloader.

I've unlocked bootloader prior to flashing the phone and written down the unlock code as it is needed after every 3-button flashing. Did you not write it down? If you did, you don't have to get the code again.
Anyway, the IMEI is written on the box as well as product ID.

BOth IMEI and serial number is written on the back of the battery.
IF you have twrp installed you can just make a clean flash of stock ROM.zip through it.

Bro no one is Noob they are at different stages of learning.
Some learn the hard way and some by the other way.
Those who learns by hard way gets more experience.

Hello dude i was in the same situation and i have success with repair i will tell you in a short way what you need to do:
1. find TWRP wich work with your rom and flash as erecovery.
2. Change region to cn , flash this zip hw_CN_UL10.zip
3. Find this ROM NEM-UL10C00B153 and flash it with sdcard as normal upgrade *#*#2846579#*#* then Software Upgrade —> SDCard Upgrade
at this point you will have imei again. Now i decide to try to make eu again
4. find TWRP wich work with your rom and flash as erecovery. in my case twrp nemo 3.0.2.0 works
5. change region again flash this zip hw_EU.zip
6. flash NEM-L51C432B102 and you are done eu with sims
all this i do with unlocked bootloader
Sory i cant post links because of XDA restrictions
I do in this way because 3button Forced upgrade stop work when i change region.
My hpone is chinese version NEM-AL10 2GB
PS : dont do any updates if you do you will loose sim again . Disable autoupdates.

Can my bootloader be unlocked?

Hi guys,
I'm sorry in advance if this was addressed already. I just bought an unlocked S20 FE (G781U1) online because I wanted it to be my gaming device. I saw videos and xda threads online about rooting and unlocking the bootloader. I am sure I followed all the steps correctly when installing ADB and fastboot. However right at the steps where I type "fastboot oem unlock", it keeps failing. My device can be detected when i type both adb devices and fastboot devices so I was sure I am following the right steps. I even tried typing the "fastboot flashing unlock" and that also came up as a command failed. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to install new fastboot/adb drivers?
Here is a screen shot from my device information.
Also, in the off chance that this is not possible to unlock the bootloader or root, is there a way to optimize the phone's gaming performance such as overclocking cpu/gpu? I have only debloated the samsung softwares.
Thanks in advance everyone!

Samsung phones don't natively support fastboot in this way for unlocking (or anything else). also worse still you have a U1 model i.e. a US model which sadly don't have unlockable bootloaders by normal means.
if it's on very early firmware it's possible that a paid service may be able to unlock it for you. having looked at your screenshot this doesn't apply here.

Thanks for the reply.
Man, I was hoping I was just doing something wrong instead.
So this phone is pretty much impossible to be rooted at this current time? I was looking on the xda threads on kingoroot but it seems like everyone is saying they are pretty shady. I was thinking if I could use that tool, I could root it and overclock my phone then reverse everything (kingoroot stuff) and hope the overclock would stay?
