[Q]Models of Samsung Galaxy ACE GT-S5830 - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

Sorry for this post, but I want to help the GT-S5830B and GT-S5830L users because in this forum only coverage the GT-S5830 users.
At this moment, exist 3 models of the Samsung Galaxy Ace, the global version is the GT-S5830 and the original firmwares exist in samfirmware.com and in this forum exist some custom firmware to this device.
The others versions are the GT-S5830B and GT-S5830L, the main difference in all versions are:
2G:
All versions: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G:
S5830: HSDPA 900 / 2100
S5830B: HSDPA 850 / 2100
S5830L: HSDPA 850 / 1900
I have a question, why in Samfirmware don't appear American Region?, Samsung will launch a Android 2.3 to GT-S5830B and GT-S5830L device?
At this moment we have some firmwares for this device, but this firmwares need to be installed over an European Version such S5830XXKPE or S5830XXKPH and this firmware must be flashed with Oding using custom package option.
Some firmware are:
Chile - Entel
Mexico - Telcel
If a GT-S5830L user install a firmware of samfirmware.com have this issue:
When phone boots with a simcard inserted, this connect with the operator network and detects the data APN.
The user can dial to a number without problems
Some seconds later (30 sec aprox) the phone change to "Emergency calls mode", the user couldn't make more calls and 3G network not available
If the user reboot the phone works again but some few seconds the phone comes to "Emergency calls only"
Any one could help us to have original firmware in samfirmware.com or exist any method to install an European firmware and don't have the "Emergency calls only" issue
To solve the issue the user need to set usage of only 2G networks in Settings.

You could try the amss.mbn file and replace it with your amss.mbn south america version and put it in european odin flash. I now this because the ZTE Blade was sold with 2.1 which was gen 1 radio firmware and devices sold with 2.2 and 2.2 radio firmware enabled hsupa and the 850MHz band. So you could try that

Thanks Jekle_Ace, I think this too, but I want to ask after flash to the phone, in the MODEM file exist only the amss file, if I flash without the MODEM (phone) option, this work? or I need to put another amss file?, how is the correct procedure
Thanks

Open the MODEM archive up and replace it with your South American amss.mbn. Either download the KPH 2.3 or the latest version of Froyo

Well, I open the MODEM file (extension .tar.md5) and replace the file, then when I try to add to odin, launch a message that said "Invalid binary type", then I try to flash but 10 minutes later still in downloading amss.
I disconect the phone and flash again 2.2.1
Well, I think that other option is flash the 2.3.x full (without CSC file) and then create a single package with only amss file, reboot the phone and flash the single package with odin.
Is it possible?, is compatible the 2.2.1 amss with the 2.3.4 or 2.3.3
Thanks

Tambien tengo un Galaxy ACE s5830L de TELCEL y solo he tenido 2 problemas con "Solo llamadas de emergencia" pero si muchos problemas con el WIFI (simplemente se apagaba y solo podía encenderlo si reiniciaba el telefono) y problemas con flasheo de la pantalla cuando utilice los firmwares Europeos KPE 2.3.3 y KPH 2.3.4., asi que por favor Koriotto, dinos, ¿tienes un Galaxy ACE s5830L o solo el Galaxy ACE s5830?
Si tienes un ACE s5830L, ¿realmente no has tenido ninguno de estos problemas (wifi y parpadeos de la pantalla)? asi que, la solución a estos problemas fue flashear con un cooper.ops de T-Mobile?
Gracias por tu tiempo...

I have an ACE s5830L TELCEL too and I just have a few (2) issues with the "emergency calls only" but i have many problems with wifi (it just turn off and i can´t turn on again only resetting the phone) and problems with flashing screen when I use European firmwares KPE 2.3.3 or KPH 2.3.4, so please kiriotto tell us, do you have an ACE 5830L or just an ACE 5830?
if you have an ACE 5830L, really you don´t have this issues? (wifi and flashing screen), and so, the solution to this problems was flashing with a T-mobile cooper.ops?
thanks for your time...

English:
i install the KPH 2.3.4 and i had the same problem (wifi problems and screen flashing) , i just activate the "use only 2G networks", under setting-wireless and networks-movile networks and alway keep activated that option and also "use packet data", when you want to use wifi just activate and when you deactivate it, the edge in 2G mode become activate.
greetings from mazatlan mexico.
Spanish:
yo tuve el mismo problema sobre los problemas de la inalambrica y el flasheo de la pantalla, instale el KPH 2.3.4 y dure dias buscando la solucion, (nunca encontre el CSC de T-Mobile), y solo active la opcion de "usar solo redes 2G" dentro de las configuraciones - conexiones inalambricas - redes moviles, ten siempre activado la opcion "utilizar solo redes 2G" y tambien "usar paquetes de datos" asi nomas cuando quieras usar la wifi solo prendela y la apagas cuando no la necesites, cuando la apagues automaticamente se pone a funcionar el Edge en modo 2G y es la misma por que en mexico aun no funciona al 100% el 3G aunque ya esten promocionando el 4G. jeje
saludos desde mazatlan mexico.

I'm from Brazil and I have a S5830B, yes, with the B, haha.
I bought the phone a few days ago and the first thing that I did was flashing the latest 2.3.4 FW, after that, the phone had these problems, the wifi and the screen flashing. Even flashing back to the 2.2.1 using the European FW, all the problems was still there.
I had to swap the phone with another new on the store. Now I'm using the new phone with the stock 2.2.1 S5830BVJKC4 FW.
We really need an american 2.3.4 FW.

After I install this Kies and connect the S5830 to the PC it shown "this device is not upgradeable". I wish someone in here can help me to upgrade to 2.3.3, here is the information I found on my S5830:
Model number - GT-S5830
Andriod verison - 2.2.1
Baseband version - S5830XXKB1
Kernel version - 2.6.32.9-perf
[email protected] #2
Build number - FROYO.ZSKC2
Please help, thank you.

There's no official update from Samsung to the SGA yet. You can update by flashing the FW using another method.
