Hello. I am needing help with the Galaxy Ace GT 5830. My friend took it upon herself to try to update to the CM9 beta and it didn't work out.
I've tried helping her by going back to the stock rom that I found however its really random as to win the rom's installation will be a success. Sometime it will hang on the Samsung logo screen and sometimes it will load in the rom just fine but her phone network will not pick up her carrier. Sometimes it will pick up the carrier but later it will lose the connection.
model: Ace GT 5830 (I assume this is the same as the Ace GT s5830)
kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL882825
[email protected] #21
current rom: update-cm-7-20120602-NIGHTLY-cooper-signed.zip
I've been using Odin 4.38 with an included "TASS_v1.0.ops" file (not sure if that's significant). The phone has clockwork recovery 5 installed on it.
I obtained the stock firmware from the Samsung site:
GT-S5830_NEE_S5830XWKT7_S5830XWKT3_S5830OXFKT1 and it sometimes installed correctly but as I said previously the phone network would rarely work.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? No, she didn't make a backup when she did all this unfortunately
Use cooper.ops. Tass.ops is for galaxy mini. U can succesfully flash ace with that mini's ops amaze me
Next time make sure to understand and know exactly what your're doing before u do something stupid that can hardbrick the poor thing

>< I feel pretty stupid. Where can I obtain the cooper.ops file? Most links I find are broken or require passwords. Also thank you very much for the response.
Check here for the ops file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
(Sorry have to register but it is worth it!)
But...I always expreiance it!Then I pull battery power on agian to CWM then I wipe data/factory reset and it works
GOOD LUCK!
The link in that thread didn't work but I found the file else where. Thanks again both of you. I'll give this a try later today.

Hi
I'm the friend in question he was helping
We've since changed back to stock without an issue, however I've now gone from 5830 to 5830D since apparently that is the only Canadian stock ROM we can use with the correct baseband.
CWM however doesn't seem to install with this particular model now, so I'm stumped at how to get it to install when that model is not officially part of the script.
Is there either a stock 5830 (not version D) ROM and/or CWM file that works with the newer version? Sorry I'm completely new at this so sorry if I'm not asking the right questions
baseband doesnt matter these days, unless your're running the ace from latin america which uses different gsm spectrum than the international ace, you can just flash any stock international ace and got all working perfectly fine.
btw the latin america ace also can use international ace rom, just need to reflash the modem afterwards.
try these, flash any stock ace rom, then flash just the modem taken from that rom for your region.
Ok will try that.
I thought the baseband did matter only because when I tried two other stock roms I was unable to connect to the network afterwards, till I found the one using TLKI4, granted we did nothing with flashing the modem.
No, baseband doesnt matter much. I've been running my ace with chinese, russian, europe baseband and didnt find any difference.
But in the case u got constant network drop, maybe your operator need specific modem for your county/region.

Hi,
I am sorry for the newbie question.
I just bought a Galaxy S2 GT-9100G here in China.
Only after buying did I realise it is a 'G' model. damn.
anyway - I would like to 'reformat' the device, and place an Israeli ROM on it.
I hope I am using the correct terms.
The reason for this - is that the chinese version comes without Android Market,
and other stuff (and the Israeli one does).
1. Do I need to root the device first before I can change the ROM ?
2. If so - I have seen in this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18099806
that flashing the kernel is the only way to root the device.
I have flashed my brother's Galaxy S2 (I9100) a month ago, using the steps shown here:
http://samsunggalaxys2review.org/root-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-heres-how/
(used OdinDownloader and SuperOneClick). Do I do the same with this device ?
Which file do I supply to Odin ??
3. Is there anyway to flash the Israeli ROM on this device ?
or it won't work, cause Israeli ROM is only for I9100 and my device is I9100G ?
If not - what can I do in order to flash a new ROM with built-in Android Market ?
Thanks to everyone who can help !!!
If u flash the new rom to your phone, it no need to root!
I own a I9100T, I flash it to I9100, it work fine, so I think u can flash it to an Israeli ROM.
Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192575
In general, be careful about flashing the China phones. It seems they went out of their way to make sure those phones comply with China's government restrictions.
i9100G got KH4 and KI1 rom, u need to donload insecure kernel to root them

So, ghmail, are you saying you have managed to do so yourself ?
Change the ROM on an I9100G to any ROM you want ?
On the topic - how can I backup everything on my device ?
I mean - the bootloader, the ROM and all the other stuff I might mess up if I brick my phone ...
Please remember..u cant flash any I9100 custom rom because its diff between I9100 and I9100G..If u flash it the phone will be semi bricked and u need to flash back to the ori rom of I9100G KH4 or KI1..
China GT-19100G-ZCLC2
Hi People, I am a total novice here. I have been reading your forms for few weeks now, since i Bought this SGS II-I9100G in China [Big Mistake ?? :-( ]
This is my phone :
Model - GT-19100G
Android - V 2.3.6
Baseband - 19100GZCLC2
Kernel - 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Firmware : PDA:LC2 / Phone:LC2 / CSC:LC2 (CHN)
I read thro creezalird pdf user guide and as guessed DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT' dint work with both methods on my phone.
I just want to root the phone so I can install few useful apps, no fancy stuff like flasing or custom rom etc. As you know even google play is blocked. Can someone point me to right link/guide me to do it.
I did read many articles (too many of your forum's) and probably why Im now totally confused. Reason is I do not see anything pointing to ZCLC2. Maybe I am not looking hard enough.
I got it done using superatom's kernel. Now all sw works on chinese phone.

Hi all,
I am trying to use one of these new ICS ROM from my current 2.3.6 ROM and every time the install fails and aborts. The install instructions for these new ICS roms seems the same, you load Clockwork and install. I'm sure I'm missing something stupid so any help is appreciated
Considering your other posts appear to be in the SGH-I777 forum, and this is the I9100 forum, take a guess at what you might be doing wrong.
Well seeing as my current boot screen shows I9100 i thought this was appropriate

Brilliant logic, love it.
Do you indeed have an I777?
P.S. Sticking an Apple bootscreen on your device doesn't turn it into an iPhone.
if ur on gb then simply do a factory wipe and install any stock ics tro odin,an always remember to backup ur efs folder....

Is that a custom ICS flashed via CWM or stock Samsung ICS flashed via Odin .
What is the model code under the battery ,

the issue appears to be a signature verification error when i look closer at why the installation failed?
Putting a question mark a question does not make.
I'll ignore you since you ignored me.
Im not ignoring you i was driving to Cleveland for my sisters graduation. and Im trying to answer these all from my phone. should i give you priority so you can rip me again cuz i don't know as much about this stuff as you?
You know more than me, your model number for example.
oinkylicious is clearly asking you if you have a i9100 or a different device. If people with a different phone flashes a i9100 rom, it will either not boot or may be lucky to see a i9100 boot screen, but it does not indicate they have a i9100.
As said above check under the battery and see what it says. It would be best to do this, before you end up bricking your device due to flashing roms that will not work on your device.
By CWM it's very easy, but unhide your model before 9100 or 9100G
2.3.6 rooted ??
what is the SD-Ext size ?
yes it is an I777. It is rooted. It has an 8gig external card. I've had this rom on there for several months and it was starting to flake recently plus I have been waiting for more ICS roms to come out to avoid bug issues. As I had said earlier I only posted to this forum because the opening boot screen said I9100 which I attributed to the rom that was on there.

So you know you have an I777... well, I777 and I9100 are similar enough that firmwares won't completely brick your phone if you flash one meant for the other model, but they are different enough that things won't work right. Like the fact that the I777 has 4 capacitive keys, and the I9100 has 2 capacitive keys and 1 hardware key.
So I'm not sure why you thought flashing an I9100 firmware would work for you or solve whatever problem you were having... but it won't. You should be only flashing I777 ROMs and firmwares.
Hi,I rooted my phone then I installed new ROM but then, I installed Galaxy S2 I9100 JB ROM Which was I9100XXLSJ ROM
when I have Galaxy S2 SGH-i777. I know I'm stupid I didn't read it clearly it just said Galaxy S2 Jellybean
I have factory reset it but it is still the i9100 JB ROM not my old AT&T version
I used Odin3 v1.85 to do all this. I have downloaded several ROMs to see if it worked but when I opened them up it dont work with Odin and they said something about installing with SD card and stuff. I tried and i cant find the program and such.
At this moment I I just want my phone to work again. It don't matter if I use stock version of ICS as long it works again with ATT. because right now. my Back/Search doesn't work and Calling.
Please help, and give good explanations because I'm not very strong in electronics
If your phone will still enter download mode you can still fix it. Look through the stickies(important threads which have been given special status due to their importance and relevance) there are several that explain how to return to stock firmware. You should probably flash a full version of stock including the bootloaders as what you flashed may have contained I9100 bootloaders. But better safe than sorry. I've given you enough information to get started, let us know how it turns out.

Thank you! I'll get started as soon as possible and let you know how it goes.
Why did you start another thread for this same issue?

There are a lot of people joining xda on daily basis, and there are a lot of repetitive questions being asked which fill up Development threads. Point them here. Feel free to ask or answer questions. Idea of this thread is to get users to help other users with their problems/questions. Please do not spoon feed, but rather point in the direction where that user can find an answer and educate himself
I don't actually have the GS3 unfortunately, but in order to make XDA a better place, I thought I'd open up a help thread for those who need it. I won't be able to give S3 specific help, but I can help in terms of general questions. Hopefully some of the experienced S3 help out on this thread, because it'd make everything easier. Thanks!
First thing first. I strongly advise you to read THIS thread before posting ANYTHING on XDA.
Then, have a quick look at the names of threads in post no2, you might find what you need right away.
For ROM issues please do mention in your post about:
ROM name
ROM version and base
kernel version and its settings
any mods applied on top of it
flashing "style" aka dirty or clean
something like this
...and be sure you have asked before on the ROM thread unless you have less than 10 posts on XDA
Third. Even if you do get your question answered, please, do come back and read threads in post no2 (coming later as soon as we start getting the guides) to educate yourself. You'll be surprised how much time and frustration it will save you in the future.

Hey guys, i'm sort of a noob on these forums so any help would be great!
I've had previous experience with rooting because of my S2, no problems at all. I got my s3 about a month ago and I've been trying to figure out how to root it. It's a GT-I9300T ( Australian model ). It has a lot of Vodafone bloatware, however it's unlocked as i'm using an Optus sim card. I've also read that there aren't many differences between the international model and the T model, so any international ROM should work fine. It's running 4.3. I've read about how KNOX is built into 4.3 and makes rooting difficult by blocking the installation of custom Roms and disabling superSu. I'm not sure if i have Knox though, because i don't have a KNOX app installed; there are no KNOX related apps installed on my phone ( according to the all section of my applications manager ) and it says nothing about the KNOX counter in download mode. Is KNOX still present on my phone, and will i be able to install customs roms?
Also, what would be the best method of rooting? I have tried the saferoot method by Mrw0lf on YouTube, which is made not to trigger Knox. I've read about CF root and other methods involving Odin, have not tried any yet because i'm scared of bricking my phone. Any help or link would be helpful. Also, if something goes wrong; would i be able to flash a stock 4.3 ROM onto my phone using Odin? I'm downloading it now from sammobile and i was wondering if flashing anything through Odin would cause problems.
Lastly, is there a way to backup my EFs before rooting? I can't find them through the default file explorer and the folder is empty in 3rd party ones. I can't seem to find them when i go through my phone on my computer, i just want a backup before i try to root.
Anyway, vital phone info:
Model: GT-I9300T
Version: 4.3
Sorry for the long post, but any help would be cool. Also, i'm not that good with all the technical things behind rooting such as CSCs, basebands and such, so any simple explanation would be nice
Thank you! :fingers-crossed:
Good morning
Dont worry about knox
There no knox for S3 now matter what variant
Now secondly.
U can flash everything from i9300 on your i9300t however its advisable that when u flash roms that u maintain or re-flash afterwards the appropriate modem
As the only difference between models is the band frequency
To root it ... For myself the easyest way is ...
Grab philz recovery
Flash it with Odin
Afterward boot into recovery
Go to advanced and choose re-root system
Then just boot the ROM go to market and download supersu you're good to go
About backup efs there's a loooooot of apps to do so u just need the pick the one who's flavour suit u best
Take care
If u have doubts just pm me

Thanks for the reply!
I just rooted my phone using Cf auto root. I forgot the warranty was expired so why not It ended up working, now running CyanogenMod 11 nightly About the modem, the reception seems the same. The signal i got before I rooted wasn't that great, haha. But i'll probably flash the modem anyway, just in case. I found a thread with most of the modems for the s3 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-galaxy-s3-modem-radio-collection-t1740061
All the modems are for jellybean, however the ROM i'm on ( CyanogenMod 11 ) is on kitkat. Can i flash any of those modems? For the T model, they say there's no regional or carrier specific one, even though i checked my modem on sammobile and it's not listed in the thread. The latest one is for 4.1.2, i'm on 4.4.2. Should i flash it? Also, can you flash it in CWM, or does it have to be through Odin?
Edit: Seeing as you're a fellow S3 user, have you experienced any lag or freezing with your phone? It happened quite a lot pre root, but i just thought it was due to the bloatware. And Touchwiz, haha. But it's happening with CyanogenMod 11 as well. I know that it's a nightly and that bugs are to be expected however i have an S2 running CyanogenMod 11 as well, and there's nowhere near as much lag. Any ideas? I reset the phone and re installed the ROM twice, mainly because i forgot to flash Gapps XD Any ideas? Should i do a full factory reset, free up some space? I know that there's 2gb left on both the phone and my SD card.
Anyway, thanks for all of your help so far!

If u flashed cm u have retained same modem so no need to update modem
Just leave it be.
About lag no my phone runs just good no matter what aosp or recent stock rom
Check your kernel config or go for a custom one a and set him up to what suits u best.
I use agni kernel on cm alongside with a optimised profile
And even with a UV of CPU and GPU my phone runs real smooth and saves juice

I think you should probably full wipe before flashing another rom. Then you should be good to go to flash slimkat and gapps.

SD Issues ? backwards "u"
My Wife is on her 2nd SD card with the same issues. I copy all of her pics and some videos from her move them to the Sd card. When going into my files it says there is 500+gbs on it! The file path extsdcard/Android has 467 gbs and 471 folders. Then there is a data folder but the D in data is a backwards u then ata. This folder says it is 467gbs with all folders named with crazy looking characters. I did try and search forums but could not find where to post and didn't want to get yelled at by the "Geniuses" on here for posting in the wrong place or not searching well enough. So if u could please get me to the right place it would be much appreciated. All the files are pics and vids of kids and thankfully we have auto backup in with google otherwise it seems we would lose all photos and vids. Thanks. Please see attached pics for reference
S3 4.0.4 stock rom
I had installed android 4.3 on s3 but then I installed 4.0.4 after that I had no gsm connectivity see the block sign between battery and wifi. I have gsm connectivity on 4.3 but not on 4.0.4. A guy told me that it has something to do with the bootloader. I wish to install 4.0.4 stock ICS BTU rom if there's a way do tell me. Thanks in anticipation!
i am using GlamourS4 5.0 rom and googy max2 kernel
the first problem i have is when i pressed the emergency call button on the lockscreen,
it did show anything such as the keyboard and the signal will stop a few seconds and come back.
second, i found the nfc not working anymore in my phone.
the nfc and s beam tag are greyed when i try to turn them on.
can anyone can solve my problems?
Anyone for my weird Network problem...?
I recently rooted my S3 via the CF Root method. Flashed CWM Recovery 6.0.4.4 via Odin.
That's it.
And now this weird problem-
My network is lost anytime! And the phone even doesn't say "Not registered on network" or something like that!
My phone was working properly and suddenly a friend of mine messaged me that he tried calling me but it said that my phone was switched off! I also noticed that at time even the data connection was not working. NO! It's not that it didn't show it isn't connected to the network or the data is disabled! The signal in the status bar was of 4 bars as it is and there was this symbol of 3G beside it. I tried calling my friend but the call got cancelled! I redialed, I didn't hear anything and then again the vibration saying the call was cancelled! I called up on my S3 through my landline number which also said that it was switched off -but not immediately. Whenever someone called me, they didn't hear anything for a long time of a minute or two and THEN it said that my mobile was switched off. I tried selecting my network operator manually, it said 'Registered on Network' but still I couldn't receive or make calls or use my internet data. But I could always send or receive SMSs!! It means it was connected to my network. The only solution was to reboot the phone after which it worked fine for a few hours. FOR FEW HOURS ONLY!
Now it happens at least 2-3 times per day and it has been important for me to check whether the data connection actually working and I'm able to access the internet or not because that's the only way to find whether someone can call me or not!
How do I fix this? I'm having my exams now and I don't have time to setup my phone again by changing ROMs!
Please tell me a way to fix this without changing my ROM!
I'm on Android 4.3 Stock ROM.

Gpu for I9300 is ARM Mali 400 MP, as far as I know.

I had installed android 4.3 on s3 but then I installed 4.0.4 after that I had no gsm connectivity see the block sign between battery and wifi. I have gsm connectivity on 4.3 but not on 4.0.4. A guy told me that it has something to do with the bootloader. I wish to install 4.0.4 stock ICS BTU rom if there's a way do tell me. Thanks in anticipation!

Could be to do with the EFS partition. 4.3 uses a different version and apparently problems can occur when trying to revert to an earlier version. As far as I have read elsewhere, the problem can be verified by checking the IMEI number in settings - if it is all zeros it has been corrupted and will cause what you describe. I'm afraid I don't have a solution but hopefully this info might help you move a bit closer to one.
Another SlimKat question. According to battery stats, it seems that my wi-fi is always on. I've used 3g only since last charge and wi-fi is off in settings. Can it be helped somehow? Screenshot attached.
Device: Galaxy S3 GT-I9300
ROM name: SlimKat
ROM version and base: 3.10 weekly
Kernel: Boeffla-Kernel Omni 2.2-rc1
Hello everybody, my device is a Samsung Galaxy S Duos S7652.
I am new at this whole rooting thing, i did my first rooting to be honest yesterday and i chose PMP Ultra custom rom, because it was the best rom for my taste.
Unfortunately i didn't know about baseband compability , and my baseband version was s7562xxlj3 , and now my phone cannot receive or make calls.
I need help, what do i do??
I cant even find my original rom so i can install that, or even a custom rom that supports my baseband..
Can you please help me?
Best regards, Alkis.

I think you are mixing some definitions.
Rooting is providing root capabilities to the phone, this is a standard operation in the *nix world.
Selecting a ROM is formatting the whole system and put a new one and you probably changed the kernel (hence the baseband problem).
Fortunately the phone is not bricked (unable to boot), so my recommendation is try to check if there are other kernels/ROMs compatible and change it.
Fortunately this showed while searching: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42182649&postcount=1708

I would recommend either restoring a NANDROID backup in recovery and if you don't have a backup I would recommend searching for your devices firmware here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/ and then flashing it via Odin. Let me know if you still have questions I'll be happy to help you out.

That's a bit of overkill if they just need the modem, unless it's not been separated out of the original full firmware to flash separately, or you need to update the bootloaders.
To dosadnik2001: Which firmware you need depends on which region the phone is from typically. Sometimes other modems from other firmwares work on unlocked phones, but best to stick with what you know should work right first.
What I do not understand is how the baseband firmware and the custom ROM are related?
I've found some post about changing the baseband firmware and there they say that the ROM doesn't care about the baseband, so you should only change it if there are some optimized baseband that can make your network coverage better. On the other side, I found several post claiming that certain ROM is not working because of the baseband firmware version.
Flashing firmware that is not for your region is again questionable for me. Doesn't this going to mess up somehow the microwave part of the phone and you can have some issues with the network carrier eventually?
Thanks.
