Newest firmware update this year for Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S830 hits over Orange Spain packed in Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread. The latest firmware build number is S5830BVKT3 with a build date of 2012, February 09. This is an upgrade from previous version S5830BVKQ9 2.3.4 which was lastly released in 2011 October.
I installed this just for fun (i'm no Orange user) and it's a good firmware. Also sports the Orange Launcher. Biggest issue, can't seem to be able to root. upd_1.zip file fails to flash, log says my phone doesn't go under any of the product names known. Also OneClick failed to root with every method known. this makes kernel installation a pain in the .

will try
----------
just tried. Root works with upd_1.zip

Messenger comes with this branded firmware version. If you want it, just extract it from the package.

It's not listed on Samfirmware anymore as all there new releases will be uploaded SamMobile.com
Ok, I get that flashing a firmware from samfirmware.com can change your CSC code.
So far I've been very careful to choose only OXX/TPH ROMs as this is the closest match for my phone (unlocked, Portuguese edition) - but Kies still somehow knows that my firmware is unofficial.
What the heck does Kies check to discover whether or not the firmware is official or unofficial? anyone have any tips? is it the IMEI number?
Is there any other problem that can come from flashing a firmware that doesn't match whatever internal value for CSC that the phone thinks it is?

Sorry for a bit offtopic but how to do for downloading at Twitter?
Well, just installed to test (CM7.1 will probably be back on my SGA soon though!) and it does indeed seem to resolve the Virgin (and Orange and T-Mobile UK?) SMS with 3G problem. Sent about a dozen now and all have gone where previously I would maybe get 2 before it stopped working. Don't want to be hasty but it's definitely looking promising. Cheers! (",)
Same here - seems to have resolved my problem sending SMS with packet data switched on. T-Mobile UK BTW.

It's a samsung rom, so there is no changelog. I doubt that even samsung has it... Where did this rom originally come from, which area i mean? Is there a chance that it might come upgradeable through kies?

It's originally for Spain (FOP).
Its description is as follows:
Download Country: Spain
Regions: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
Some say (different forum again) that KIES has signalled the upgrade from KTM into this KTQ and it happened in Poland, i.e. outside the regions mentioned above. It's even stranger for an unbranded rom as KIES AFAIK normally doesn't care for unbranded.

Root not working
I used one (single) root update.zip, but root is not succesful, why?
and what about a new rom with polish?
It was really strange for me...
I flashed ROM through Odin, but it seems it installed it as an upgrade as I still have my old Apps and rooted....

How to flash OTA flash files downloaded from samfirmware?

Hi all
How should I flash the OTA flash files downloaded from Samfirmware?? Should I use ADB?? If yes, can anyone tell me the commands??
I normally flash phones with SPT/RIFF box, so I am a bit rusty in ADB
Kind regards
I'd say use Odin. But just to be sure, Check the stickies in the general forum. Use the search if not sure.

Hi!
Just use odin to flash the firmware.. i'm pretty sure most of the fw would just be on PDA in odin.

If you are talking about OTA and not the full firmware..it has to be flashed in stock recovery...first make sure you have the correct firmware version on your phone..the firmware version required will be given alongside the OTA on samfirmware..now move the OTA to your sdcard..reboot into stock recovery..use vol up+power+home buttons..then choose install update from there..
I need to do this. I'll do a Titanium Backup before, but should I expect all my content, apps, preferences and all that to be intact after the procedure (presuming everything goes the way it should)?
Edit: Also, why can't I see an option for United States in the drop-down menu when narrowing down my device? Should I use some other country?

And do you know what this ota files are used for? I've an S5830 from Vodafone(Spain) and I want to get it back to the original firm (you know, operator apps and some more innecesary ****), but I'm unable to find one on the internet.
Looking at www.samfirmware.com, the only thing I've seen about my device and Vodafone is the OTA file i'm talking about, but I'm not pretty sure if flashing it will let my phone in factory defaults.
I need to flash a Vodafone rom because I wanna send it to the technical support.

Find a Vodafone Spain Rom, it should be over 200mb, then download Odin for your galaxy ace, it should be in the ace forum. Then flash it. Check the link below.

Choose which version u want...
I would recommend to use the latest one of 4.0.4 u can find.
The 4.1 is already Jelly Bean but not as stable as the other ones....
I saw it's now with actual firmwares....
So load the firmwares from sammobile
(Search =i9100 then u got a list, sort by date)

well, thank you so much!! really appreciate it ... will do it and tell you if it works or not

and the phone has the orange logo on back...after installing this rom i think the phone is locked!! and even if i use galaxy s unlock it doesn't work
but why the phone was working on the 2.x firmware? was it unlocked with galaxy s unlock? does galaxy s unlock work only on old Firmwares?
and now what's the solution? is there a custom rom to install? something to do after installing the rom? or do i have to reinstall 2.x and unlock it with galaxy s unlock? will this work?
First get a micro sd card. Plug it into your computer and download a stable rom into the micro sd. Make sure you leave it as a zip file. Go to your phone's recovery and select the new rom.
Best of luck,

See if Spockys Galaxsim unlock works.I cant be arsed checking if it wirks on gb or ics or what,but you can.
Its only O2 phones or unbranded ones that are unlocked by default.

This has become a huge problem for me too.
I've used the i9100 for a year. At the beginning unlocked it, and tried hundreds of ROMS (CM,MIUI...), and never had a problem with Network Lock.
Before selling it(ebay), I updated it to 4.0.4(unbranded) and send it. BAM! The buyer told me it had a Simlock... Uh :silly:??? I told him not to worry, and bought an IMEI Unlock code for him. He said didn't work, I couldn't believe it, but it is so.
Now I have again my SGS2 here, with the symptoms:
- Compilation LPW
- Network Locked
- Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz does not work.
- Chainfire's method finds the same Unlock Code that I bought for 9€. But they don't work!:crying:
I will flash a 4.0.3 ROM and see what I can do.
Let u know.
Cheers.
