[Q]Flash back to stock ROM - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

I want to flash back to stock rom but I have some question first:
-Do I need to convert filesystem to rfs before flashing stock rom which is rfs?
-Which is the best stock rom: KPE, KPN or KPO?
-Does CSC matter if I don't plan to update using KIES?

No you do not need to convert filesystem to rfs, it'll automatically convert to rfs
Personally if i were you i would go with latest stable release like KPO,
CSC don't matter unless don't plan to update through KIES,
I would recommend to use MULTI CSC Mod by redmanner

Ok. I flashed stock KPO rom and rooted it succesfully but one thing bothers me:
How do I remove Swype that is bundled with official firmware? I want to use the beta but the already installed one blocks it.

Go to /system/app/Swype.apk and set permissions to rwxrwxrwx . Also , change group and owner to sdcard_rw

I've removed the stock one and installed beta. But because it has not Polish language I restored the stock version.
Thanks for help.

i am also moving from cyanogen 7.2 to stock
actually do you need a full package ROM if using Odin or can be also be done by single package ROM as many Odin tutorial videos show ... and if you could explain me the difference i would be thank full for your help.

no need to do anything special...
load cooper.ops file
check one package in odin option
select tar.md5 file
flash
you will get bootloop --> go to recovery and wipe data + cache
DONE

I too moved from CM to stock.
I flashed xxkph and is running fine.
But when I connected it to kies it is saying that the phone can't be updated.
Does this mean the phone is not completely unrooted?
Should I do something to completely unroot it?
In other thread I got a reply that flashing UK 3 stock ROM will solve the problem. But I wonder if I can flash my Unlocked mobile ( Mobiles bought in India are unlocked only, right? ) with some other carrier ROM.

Completely erase internal SD
Hi Guys,
At some stage I installed a custom ROM that had Indonesian as the default language.
Even though I restore stock ROM with Odin, this Indonesian language remains as the default.
Also, the phone used to boot with Galaxy Cooper but now it boots as Galaxy Ace.
How to completely get back to original?
Must I format the internal SD?
How is this done?

No, it means that your csc is not set for your region! and since is not set KIES cannot upgrade it, but don't worry, do this:
*#06# ( Note that down )
Now
*#272*(The number you've noted down)#
Choose csc from your region so KIES can uptade (WARNING**** CHANGING CSC WILL DO A FACTORY RESET)

I flashed the firmware from here.
http://androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-ace-gt-s5830-gingerbread-234-xxkph-firmware/3/
The downloaded zip had these files.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now what exactly should I do to make kies recognise my mobile?
or
Where can I get the csc file that makes kies recognise my mobile?

set csc is simpler then that you dial *#272*(Your IMEI number)#
Now chose the letters from your country!
IMEI -to know IMEI dial *#06#
Your Country Letter - Go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=1&t=1
ATENTION!!!!! Changing CSC will do a factory reset on your phone!!! Meaning ... All your stuff will be deleted!

Its not working for me. After doing that it showed
sales code: SER
But if I try to click the install button then a pop up is coming with the words 'Must be THREE chars'. What should I do now?

Yeah. I just took some time to understand that it is set to Russia. Flashed a new ROM and it is good to go now.
