Hello everyone, I'm new here, I tried CM7 and it worked, but I want to go back to Stock firmware, I get stuck at Galaxy Ace logo. I'm ready to flash using ODIN.
But how will I find the correct firmware file? samfirmware is down for maintenance and hence is helpless. I'm from India. Please give me suitable new or old firmware link so that I can flash and then update to new ones through kies if possible
Hoping to get some help, thank you.
Try sammobile.com
If ur coming from cm7 rom then u should flash a full package rom to avoid bootloops.

By full package, he means the zip that has 4 different files. Not just one big one
Thank you both of you. I had single package of Stock 2.3.4 and yes I did have a boot loop.
After Odin said passed. I removed mobile and turned into recovery mode and clean wiped everything and when I restarted everything was working fine.
Thanks to XDA

Hey Guys,
I am wondering is it possible to downgrade my SGA CM7 [2.3.7] to the 2.3.4 ROM just by CWM Recovery Restoring? I don't know any other way to do it if it's possible, I only want to know out of curiosity I am a Big N00B -.-
P.S. I would post this in development but this is my first Post :L
Thanks, Shane!
Why don't you try to flash via odin?
I've used ODIN to downgrade/Flash my 2.3.7 CM7 ROM to the stock 2.3.4 Rom.
I'm not sure with the CWM Recovery Restoring method as It might produce some conflicts.

U cant restore a stock rom on cm7 using cwm restore. Basically stock roms r in rfs format & cm7 converts it to ext format. So in order to convert d system back to stock rfs, u need to flash a full package rom using odin. After u flash stock firmware, u can restore ur backup using cwm. U can download d full package firmware from samfirmware.com

helpful, thanks.
Kies just notified me that there is a new firmware update for my phone, it says:
"your version: PDA:KPE/Phone:KP6/CSC: KP2 (VIP)
newest version: PDA:KS1/PHONE:KS2/CSC:KS1 (VIP)"
I read somwhere in the SGA thread that it's not safe to flash trough kies because it uses too much RAM(What RAM, Phone RAM or PC RAM?), so im not shure is it safe to update. Also i have rooted my phone with the 2.3.x upd_1 zip from the sticky tutorial in Anroid development subforum. Will this somehow interrupt or efect the firmware update?
Thanks in advance for your answers

Well i updated it, and it sort off works, but it has become unstable and randomly soft reboots. So I'm considering to flash the unofficial cyanogenmod.
Tnx for your replies anyway

Did you wipe data and partition after update? You should!
It might be official but a lot of users report problems with it and bricking their phones so I don't really recommend it. I my self haven't had those problems with it and I've only used it twice. Don't plan on using it again though.

I never heard anyone bricking their fone while flashing unofficial cyanogenmod. I've flashed it 7-10 times without any bricking my fone.

It worked on my Ace, and the PC was fine too, as it is pretty weedy.
only use kies if you have min2gb ram on PC .but still their is danger.before using kies kill unnecessary processes and tasks.

I had GlsmtRom v2.1 and flashed S5830XWKS9 firmware form sammobile. Now my Galaxy Ace does not start any further that to boot animation over and over again. What may cause the problem?
Is XWKS9 a one package rom? If it is, den u should flash a multi package rom.

Yes it is a one package rom. Maybe I should flash it with S5830XXKPO
The same happens with S5830XXKPO firmware. Phone does not start and freezes on boot animation.
GlsmtRom converted ur system from rfs to ext. So in order to revert back to rfs system, u need to flash a multi or full package like kph(i said kph bcoz i dont kno any other full package rom. Im on kph for a long time).

After I flashed KPO situation was the same so I entered original samsung's recovery and did full wipe and cache wipe.It helped and system started ok.Now will try the same with the newest firmware again.Let you know later.

When I first wanted to flash the cm7.1 rom to my phone I downloaded ROMmanager. When I tried to flash the CWM Recovery to my phone, SGA did not show up on the list of recognized devices.
I found a workaround on the forum somewhere which had a custom CWM version which I flashed onto my phone directly without ROMmanager.
Now I checked ROMmanager again and SGA was recognized and I flashed the official CWM Recovery 4.0.0.9 to my ace.
Does this now mean that the custom version is deleted and the new official CWM is the current recovery? I want to add mods to my rom using CWM so I need to know if this is safe.
Thanks in advance
U MUST DELETE ROM MANAGER NOW!!!!!!!!! IT has killled a lot of galaxy aces dont use it !!!

hi domnic, sorry i didnt answer your post when i am with problems, but i found a solution
i just flashed new stock rom with odin and everything worked fine...no needed to send my ace to vodafone.
thx
I'm a beginner so please bear with me.
I have installed a custom ROM "ICSunday Final" It crashes a lot and I want to go back to stock ROM. I have the latest firmware for my region, OPS, and ODIN, but I don't know what to do and how to go back to the stock ROM. Also, I have "ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 " installed.
Is there a step by step guide on how to go back to stock ROM?
Thanks in advance!

Make sure to download a full package rom though because cm7 uses ext4 format and stock uses rfs format file system.So,be sure to flash a full package file
