Hi all,
Its my first time here, after being refered to from another forum.
This is my issue......
I have a Samsung Galaxy ACE GT-S5830T. I have had it for around 12 months. It is unlocked however, it has the network firmware on it, which i find annoying.
Can i remove this firmware and revert the phone back to original firmware?
I am very new to this, i have had a quick look around and found bits and pieces however, to be honest, i am not sure what some of the headings refer to.
Thanks,
Peter.

Ah OK. Why would it have a fake ROM from the store and should I change the ROM? Sorry I'm a novice with this phone

Because the distributor wants you to have it, in order to prevent you claiming insurance when your phone breaks due to updates and/or any kind of modifications. Yes, you should change it to official ROM and read a lot, A LOT of existing forum topics and documentations, unless you want to keep yourself locked with that fake ROM functionality.

Why would a phone with an official ROM break due to updates? Surely an official ROM is more stable. I will read the stickies thanks

Don't think that far. Just think that the distributor doesn't want you to modify the ROM in any way than the one they've been testing (and adding bloatwares) on.
What rom should I be installing? I have read all the forums posts but alot of people seem to be using my (fake) eu rom perfectly and are happy with it.
Can someone send me a link to exactly the rom I should be using. All I want is a rom that will update when the new android version comes out, I have had no updates yet with this rom so im not sure if it will ever update...
Should I even be changing the rom I have. I dont have any interest in the other roms available bar official and eu (fake official)
tks

you can choose the Developer ROM, so probably u will get the Android Nougat before the other users.
Thanks and if I just wanted the most stable official ROM that will get updates over time which would be the choice with English language that most people outside China ie would go for?
Is the roms/development area the right place? Or is there another place that people publish roms like telegram?

There is no other place, I think there are like 2 rom available atm.
That's not a lot for a phone as widespread as the S10 but I guess people don't flash custom rom anymore.

Hello there, I would like to flash a custom rom on my phone but I couldn't find a single one no matter where I looked. If any of you have made a custom rom or have access to one, please let me know.

Thanks a lot man!
Soo... apparently my native firmware wasn't loaded anywhere online, so I got great advice to back it up before doing anything, did that.... saved it happily on my PC and played around with a few Roms. Wanted to do a clean install and guess what? ZIP file corrupted. Any ideas to get it back? guess I have no choice but to flash Global SKFMIXM? A link to doing that would be appreciated also. Thank you for your time

So I'm running ArrowOS, where would it show what the original firmware was? I only have the file on my PC that i downloaded from the phone before changing roms. I can send you a picture of that?

Sorry I posted the incorrect Picture, here is my original firmware attached.
I would like to know if it's possible to get my original firmware as just a back up because the one I have doesn't work/corrupted

No need to apologize at all! In fact i was going to put it online as the original person who gave me advice on Telegram said that it was a "rare" Rom. Like maybe it could help a dev or something. What would be the most efficient way to post a link? I'm not very tech savvy and I'd probably end up posting the link to my beach holiday pictures?
Also I'd like the link to be accessible to anyone who would need it, I saw one mention only of a desperate person who could've used it

So this is a really rare thing, like Pokémon card. I got it by going to about phone, clicking on the 13 picture of the left, then it started downloading, then I clicked install and started panicking because they told me to save it, but after it installed, I did it again and this time I just saved it the phone, then connected phone to PC and copy pasted it in a folder. Maybe it's the wrong thing?
If it helps, my carrier is VodaCOM and not VodaFONE? Same people I think though

Ok, it's a provider rom, you can install a Global or others.
Oh heya! You're that person in TG with the Vodacom version SFKZAVC. It is sweet global as it has NFC and a 108mp camera but the region version is weird.

It's me! You found me! But when I double click to extract it says the file is corrupted... I'm guessing no way to get it back?

Extracting? Why? It's a recovery rom. It's only used for flashing on custom recovery. But I guess if it shows error during extraction then I guess it will also fail during flashing. No clue unless it's flashed tbh. Did you try on other programs to extract the zip? Also is the zip file 3.x gb something? I heard about sometimes recovery rom downloaded from updater app would sometimes come with less than 3gb (at least for sweet) and it's like a corrupted zip. Or maybe the download did not finish. It's really weird that once the recovery rom gets downloaded, a full 3.xgb zip is already available on the downloads folder even though it's still downloading.

Perhaps I brutalized the English language, what I meant is that I did downloaded it fully, wait time was about 15/20 minutes I suppose. I tried standard 7zip and winrar but gave an error. The file size as a zip is 3.3gb . I'm quite sure it did fully download though. When I extract Project Elixyr.zip file, it immediately starts with winrar. Isn't it good to have a fresh clean install of your firmware every now and then when changing ROMs often? Plus what if there was something in there that could help someone, I know there was another South African looking for it a few months ago and he was so desperate. But i suppose I just use basic Global when I Feel its time for a clean freshy
Good Day. Hope you came right with the SKFZAVC Frimware.
Im also Cuurently Struggeling to get the New MIUI 14 for my Redmi 10 Pro.
The Standard Global Does not want to work on my Phone.
No Matter in what way I do it.
Any Possible Advise on how to get the New MIUI 14 Loaded on my Phone?
All help Appreciated

Since SKFZAVC is a weird and restricted version of MIUI, there's no way for anyone to know whether MIUI 14 will arrive on it or not. If you want, you can unlock the bootloader and manually flash the Global version with the latest MIUI 14.0.1.0. Although, I'm not certain whether using the global version is ok for your region/provider as ZAVC is restricted and locked and maybe changing region will prevent you from using the sim or other carrier stuff. I really don't know because this is such a rare region and only those who own it can tell their experience on it.
If you want, and possibly have other people explore that region rom a bit more, try uploading the recovery zip of SKFZAVC in drive or other clouds and have others use and test it. There's no ZAVC rom in circulation or achieved anywhere so none was able to test it.
