Well,i have a SGA rooted so i decided to install a custom rom with Rom Manager Premium.I have putted the Rom on the sd card root and i started to install it.
When i started to install,the app asked me for flash the Clockwork Mod,so i pressed " accept " and asked me again to confirm the terminal and i pressed Huawei Pulse,because SGA was not in the list,i looked for the rom file (extension .zip) and " started " to install but the phone turned off now is practically " death "
i have tried to start the Recovery mode and Download mode and it don't respond,and i also tried to connect it on the computer.
There is any tutorial of what i have to do to repair it?Help

Put the phone in download mode and use odin to flash the stock firmware from samfirmware for ace (KPH/KPN for europe)
That should do it.

Some stupid people like you (sorry for this, but this is true) bricked their Aces with Rom Manager. There is only one way to solve this - replace main board of Ace. Your road goes to service center. Tell them, that your Ace just can't power on once you have forgotten to charge it, our something like this. This should work. Good luck.
Omg you bricked your phone. Rom manager do not support ace yet.

If you was came here and JUST ASKED, "how to put the custom Rom in you phone, like Rom Manager", you get your answer like 100 times, that DONT USE ROM MANAGER.

Go to the store and use your warranty
Try to remove your battery and let your phone rest (haha) for a day or so and then try to put it in the download mode. This worked for me.

the reason is to warn others of such dangers, it needs to be said countless times otherwise new users just miss things. personally i believe there shall be stickies about rom manager, unlocking and efs etc. actions making phones bricks as it is in other phones' sections of xda. that would save ppl phones and community could grow. but it's up to forum moderators...

Hi,
Noob question because it's my first time..
I read that some group of users have problem with their Vibrant recovery mode which doesn't start the process when they press vol keys together and start the phone up !
I got mine 2 days ago and I was worried that maybe it isn't support that like a lot of users !
So I tried the method in my Vibrant and a text in yellow came with options in blue (reboot your device, erase data ect..)
So is this the recovery mode in the Vibrant ?!
Sorry for the silly question but it's my first time
Yup, that's it.
Yeah. Download ROM Manager from the market and install Clockwork Recovery and you'll get the actual recovery that allows you to do nandroid backups, flash custom ROMs etc.
^ that is a must do. I have steps in the sticky at the top of the general section if you need help.

Yeah. Going into recovery mode is something you'd use when you're rooted. If you're unrooted, there is honestly no reason to be going into recovery mode unless you want to wipe settings which can be rare for a unrooted user.
Well.. I don't know if root is required or not but the app would be pretty much useless if you didn't have root. So yeah, I'd say you'd need root.

I think it may be something to do with the three mobile firmware, but can't be sure - is there any way of rooting this so I can use Titanium Backup?
TIA

The last time I tried CWM on my last Ace it totally bricked it! Not compatible, so reluctant to go down that road again unless I know for sure it won't brick it. I was lucky enough to get the bricked one swapped out as faulty as it was less than a week old.....
EDIT: Actually, it was ROM Manager that bricked the phone, but I'm wary of anything with the 'ClockWorkMod' name attached to it!

Ta - what custom ROM's are available, is there a list anywhere? Is there anything actually better than 2.3.3?
I guess since I can't use TB I'd need to reinstall all my apps again if I flashed a custom ROM!! *Groan*
you can try cf-root by ketut.kumajaya
Tried VillanROM (three times) but no keyboard - seems like a common problem with it. Don't think I fancy the cf-root. Too many files available at the bottom of the post and don't know which one to use, plus many pages of problems with it, so I think I'll pass.....
I too own an SGA (2.3.3) on 3 and rooted it using this zip:

I selected "install zip from sdcard" instead of "install update from sdcard".
Worked first time for me. Hope that helps =)

Yes i just bought a galaxy Ace and i was wondering if there was an easy way to root or a step by step too root this device
and also what the best Rom was for this phone is
i am from canada here and on the koodo network
For now the unofficial Cyanogenmod7 works best with my usage.
And for the first question, for the love of chuck norris, just google how to root your device... It's as simple as pressing a button. *hint*
I know i find ones and such but it just seems time consuming and what not lol

Then don't do it. Simple as that.
Figured instead of posting a new thread I'd reply here. I'm in the similar situation sorta, just had a few questions.
My model is the GT-S5830D 2.3.4 and I have Gingerbread.DTLKI4. I haven't encountered any threads with the similar build. I also noticed with KIES it tells me that my phone is not upgradeable. I'm wondering if Koodo put a proprietary lock on my phone and I'm curious whether I can still root my phone? Do you have to unlock in order to root? I've read a bit but I'm having a hard time grasping this concept.
Thanks.

Im guessing that "Koodo" is your carrier? You have to root your device before being able to unlock it at all so it wont really matter what carriar ure on.
I think that's how it works, since i got my ace w/o contract I didnt have to deal with this.
edit: beware, unlocking your phone may brick your phone, or maybe just loosing ure IMEI (source: all the xda threads)
Yes Koodo is the carrier i my self am not 100% sure what they did to it if anything at all to the phone i know i seen a few root guides online just seems like it's alot to do to root it i am sure it can be did i have full access to rom manager and would like to toss a custom rim on this unit as i did with my lg optimus one is all to which is running void forever... Plus to be able to get rid of all the bloatware in this phone would be nice any how a little help would be grand

Rooting SGA is not hard at all, sga was my first android phone and I was able to root it on my 2nd day of using it.
DONT use Rom Manager, just flash CWM (clockworkmod) and use it instead, ull probably brick your phone using Rom Manager (even after doing backup and stuff).
edit: it just seems to be a lot of step when rooting SGA, i assume you read the information from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12874680#post12874680
If you reduce obvious steps like "2) Turn on your phone" "4) Connect your phone into PC via cable" etc. ull get a very short tutorial.
like this:
(text in italic = added/edited text)
C. Rooting for 2.2.1:
2) Enable Debugging at Apliccations>Programming
3) Connect your phone into PC via cable
4) Launch Super One Click 2.1.1 and Click "Root", wait.
7) When the process is complete turn off SOC and unplug your phone and reboot it.
So it's actually just 4 steps.
Not bad so your saying I should toss rim manager off and such... I now see it easier then i had read before lol... Now what about flashing new software like stock gingerbread? Will it free memory up and what rom would you suggest for this model CM7 or something lighter?

Yes, never use Rom Manager is my tip, even though it does work in very few cases... And as I mentioned, use CWM instead.
I would recommend CM7 to the more experienced users; not saying you need to be a pro to use it, but it's not as stable as the stock roms. Just stay away from settings that you dont know anything about and you should be good (especially the options in performance).
Flashing roms and such are all in the link that i posted before, take some time reading it and you should be good to go.
Perfect... See i typically do read through all guides but beeing new to android by about a year now it dont hurt for advice from people that has been around the OS for a abit longer and have had experience in said things

Oh ok, you need to root before you unlock anyway. Cool. I wanted to root it anyway, just wasn't sure if it was before or after unlocking. I just seem to have some proprietary Koodo firmware on here so if I could remove it I'd be alot happier. I just see lots of flash tutorials for old versions like 2.2.1, not 2.3.4. Wasn't sure if it would be compatible still or not. I just want my phone to be like one I got from samsung, not one from Koodo. Proprietary bungholes. Lol.

Dont know if you noticed but ill quote the part for 2.3.4, download link is in the first post of the "how to root-thread".
"E. Unrooting for 2.3.3/2.3.4/2.3.5 (Thanks to ingbrzy):
1) Download attached file called unroot.zip and copy it to your sdcard
2) Turn off your phone
3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON
4) Select update from sdcard, select the file unroot.zip
5) After the update completed - reboot
6) Now you have rooted S5830"
In 2.1.1 you wont be able to chose zip, dont know if that is the case for you. But if that is the case simply change the unroot.zip to update, then chose to update your phone and it will automatically search and chose it.
Gingerbreak exploit works for Ace right?
Thanks man! I didn't find that thread. I just came to my phone section and read the sticky but it didn't advise me so.
Thanks again! Will try this in a bit!
Wait: edit. Read that again... Unrooting...rooting?...hrm. I wanted to root. Last line says root but the title says unroot.

I was attempting to install twrp, but while doing so ran into an error that stated "write error: no space left on device"
The commands I was running at the time are the following:
su
dd if=<exact path to the image file> of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
These commands were pulled directly from the twrp website, for the installation instructions
I verified the path to the image file, and verified I had the exact "of" location as well, and got the error mentioned above. Now, after rebooting, the phone won't even so much as blink no matter what I try.
Is my phone completely dead? I would love for someone to tell me there's a trick to get into recovery/download/something mode to come back to life from this.
Have you pulled the battery ,then put it back ....then attempted download mode ?
And I must ask ....why didn't you simply flash TWRP through clockworkmod ??
If the device won't boot to download mode ...then it's hard bricked ...and will require JTAG restoration ..

I did try pulling the battery, but I'll give it another shot.
As for why I chose this route... I made the mistake of blindly following the installation instructions on the twrp website itself, for the galaxy note.
nevermind found what i needed. Looks like i'm at the point where I have to send this thing off, ugh

JTAG or a Riff Box ....is a procedure / device used to debrick a Samsung device.
This method is Sammy specific ....and only works for us.
If a good JTAG procedure is used, it basically means our devices are unbrickable ....unless physically damaged ...
It's pretty cool ....just general search it ...and you'll see ....g
The device rewrites the read only chips with the operating system. It bypasses the flashing process that your phone can't do anymore.
Exactly .....
Thank you ranger ....g
