Also if I flash Kenn's ROM can I flash back to SBF 1.8.3 if anything goes wrong?

yes and yes
+1 above just for encouragement. Only rom that can lead to bricking if you aren't careful is the stock leaked rom. Well, i should say only one that has a known brick issue if you mess around with going back to an older sbf. I guess you can brick with any rom but ken's is safe.

Going to flash in a few minutes .
anyway.....my adb ability and fastboot ability has mysteriously disappeared
ever since I started using cherryblur (V0.4d IIRC)
the dev (navalyt) suggested me to sbf or flash back to stock.
whats currently the safest way for me to go back to froyo?
cheers

Use a froyo CWM fruit cake. Wipe before and after.
If all else fails, flash a 2.3.4 sbf with pudding.

If fruit capes fail then use RSD to flash gingerbread and pudding right?

IF you have cherryblur that means you are unlocked..
probably you have and news tenfar port of CWM or the official via Rom Manager..
right?
i think cherryblur is only by cwm flashable and not fastboot(no need to)
so.. the safest way.. is CWM zips..
make a backup of what you are right now..
and then flash a fruit cake of froyo.. or maybe an old backup if you had before you went on 2.3 ..
AVOID sbf's..
If the contain bootloader stuff, you are screwed!

Fruit cake shouldn't fail. It should flash without problems. I meant, if fruit cake doesn't fix your problem, only THEN use RSD to flash 2.3.4 sbf with pudding. (You are unlocked, right?)

heya dudes
sorry to revive thsi thread
tried to use a froyo fruit cake to flash back to froyo...BUT in the middle of flashing the zip it popped up a warning "noob check: build prop...olyATT" or something along those lines.
is that because my build prop is showing the french version of the atrix instead? cherryblur 1.3 is based on the france ROM...soo editing the build prop shoudl fix my problem?
Good morning mates,
I installed few days ago the S5830XWKSD [04.11.2011][Android 2.3.5].
It was described like a very good rom but I don't find it so great and I want to flash it.
Before changing it I would like to have some comments on the rom in subject and any suggestion about a good stock rom.
Thanks to all for your comments

No you can go direct
I can say my experience. I jumped from froyo 2.2.1 to gingerbread 2.3.3 and then 2.3.5.
Probably you can flash directly to 2.3.5.
But It's better wait for a confirmation from more expert people.
As said before, yes, it can be done directly to 2.3.5.
The story is different if you want to DOWNGRADE to froyo.

Thanks for your help. I'll upgrade one by one.
Also please note that We're not as experienced as you so
some easy, stupid questions is able to us a very difficult.
Also i've read some problems occur after direct upgrade. Thats why i asked for.
There are many foolish data exist for android. It's hard to choose one to beleive.
two fast questions before flashing the ks9, do I have to make an hard reset before and after installing a new stock rom or just after?
Do I have to make a battery calibration after installing a new rom?
Thanks

I used both methods to change my roms and I found the one package the easest way to upload the files with Odin.
I don't think you can have problem If you use the one package method.

Let say my experience,
I passed from froyo 2.2.1 to 2.3.3 using a multipackage and from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 and to 2.3.6 using a one package.
You can do the same and avoid any risk.

Wow! a whole year! well I couldn't resist and joined xD this forum seems to have an awesome community
Anyway I kinda knew about the superone click but umm if I root with that then I can go right ahead and install CWM and Custom Roms?
Install CWM4 or 5 for Galaxy Ace, you shouldn't need Root for this. You can find them on this Forum if you look. This will replace your stock recovery. Once this is done you place your ROM on the SD card, reboot into recovery and hit install from Zip then choose your new ROM. Simple as that.
If you need any more help let me know

Ok so I don't need root to install Custom Roms?
And I don't need to upgrade the FW to Gingerbread or anything because I've been reading a lot about this and I'm kinda confused?
-----Edit-----
Also don't I need to make a backup or anything? xD because I don't want to brick my Ace its the only phone I have right now.
U don't need root to install cwm 5 ..well I think u should upgrade your firmware to 2.3.xx because most of the roms for SGA are based on gingerbread .ie they need gingerbread basebands ...if u flash them on your FROYO phone u will BRICK your phone !!!!!
Btw I always got what I needed In xda by googleing so I never felt the need to join xda ..

Sure you could make a back-up, it is always good to have just in case. You can't restore a stock ROM through recovery, you'll just get a boot loop, but there are other methods to restore your stock back-up. Froyo to Gingerbread is no problem, it is Gingerbread to Froyo that it becomes more complicated.
EDIT: But some ROM's do require you to be on 2.3.x so you could do an official update to Gingerbread to "ensure" everything goes smoothly.

Thanks for the info
I will look....
Also what happens if I accidentaly flash a Custom Rom made for FROYO when my phone is on Gingerbread FW?
Sorry for all these questions
Well, they don't say. Why not be safe and flash a stock 2.3.x ROM with ODIN. Better to be safe then sorry right?! Are you familiar with ODIN?
Yes I have used ODIN in the past before but only with the One Package option.
-----Edit-----
And if I where to flash that stock firmware which one should I use European?
Yup, that is what you'll be doing. I wrote a little tutorial on it a while ago, the link is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408974&highlight=2+3+6+update
go ahead and use the European open version.

When choosing the official GingerBread FW do I need to find the one for my Carrier because I think my phone is SIM-locked. My Carrier is Claro.
So many threads that I cannot find it. I am currently unlocked on nottachtrix 1.2.9b but it keeps restarting my phone randomly so I want to flash a completely stock ROM, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks guys!
searching dev forum returned this list of firmwares http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944. Find your country/carrier and go for it.
As an alternative, I have used Aura (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186990) and was better than stock for me and includes webtop.
If you feel adventurous again, try miui-us V4 2.3.16 also in the dev forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383721).
Hope I was able to help
Check the Fruitcake thread, stock roms are there.

You said your atrix is unlocked (or are you on Atrix2 since you mention Supercharged A2?), then root, install romracer's cwm for atrix and use cwm to reset, clear data and cache, then flash a rom of your choice.
All available in the dev section.

I don't have any issues with 1.29b. Maybe flash romracers recovery, do a complete wipe, and flash 1.29b directly.

Yes. You can download the 2.3.6 fruitcake from fruitcake backup thread and flash via CWM. Then the 2.3.6 webtop and flash via CWM. Remember to perform a full wipe first.
