Wrong answer,You dont need to be rooted to flash custom roms.Recovery isnt a apk file to get su access
BTW,SuperOneClick only works if you are on Froyo,doesnt work for GB

here u go and u can flash any custom rom with this (only made for ace)
u cant flash any rom without this.download the zip and follow instructions in my previous post.
you can flash any rom you like made for galaxy ace, and most of the roms root your phone after flashing.
yup..u dont need to root ur phone.. just flash the cmw from ur stock recovery mode.. then u can flash any custom from the cwm ^^.. enjoy!
I have been seeing the same questions being asked again and again..Do we need to root or unroot before flashing,Wonder why :/
Well for me, im not that hightech...
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
first of all..
what u need to do is to download a official cwm..
flash the cwm from ur stock recovery mode (power off+home button)
then download the custom rom that u wan
Follow the instructions given by the developer and then flash it in the cwm (power off+home button)
Tada! u can have ur custom rom ^^
You don't need to be rooted in order to flash any custom rom...
Rooting just gives you powers to access stunning things on your phone...customize your phone etc...

I suppose that you even can't boot in to your phone. If it is like that, try to go into recovery (vol down + home + power button combo), wipe all data and reflash your ROM.

Its not called bricked you just did things wrong. Dont spoil rom manager image.! I've been using rom manager to flash thing like 200 time not even a single unsuccessful flash, let even brick.
A brick is when phone is totally dead no logo no recovery no fastboot no adb. Just like phone without battery.
And be precise like you were on this rom and than I did this and that.... so that everyone can help u better.

Use KDZ updater software cautiously as it will make it real brick.

2x attempted to flash CWM and two times got fastboot here. If you look @ xda, you can see that clearly there is a serious bug with flashing recovery at least, but have yet to hear anything from the developer.
ROM Manager for recovery flashing = not recommended (from me at least).

ROM MANAGER could get bugging at times.!

i'd write the steps again
1.) Relax
2.) Download KDZ Updater & Stock KDZ File (KDZ Updater- http://www.4shared.com/file/UleS4dP3/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.html
ROM- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865479)
3.) After ur downloads are done. Remove the battery.
4.) Plug In ur phone while holding ( VOLUME UP + RETURN ) this would bring ur phone in EMERGENCY MODE.
5.) open KDZ Updater. In Type choose 3GQCT and in PhoneMode use EMERGENCY or CS_EMERGENCY . choose the KDZ file u downloaded.. and hit the launch software update button.
6.) If it fails. Go to device manager. Under Modems Disable LGE Virtual Modem or LGE Android USB Modem. and restart PC and repear step 4 and 5.This should Do the work
7.) if u're on version 2.2.2 download Gingerbreak(Search the forum) and root ur phone . Install custom recovery and flash whatever ROM u want
Thank me if i helped
Cheers
Rom manager is fixed now.

To install a ROM you MUST read the instructions in the thread where you got it. It's not just 1 procedure for all different ROMs.
Seriously, if you've not read the installation instructions in the ROM thread, DO NOT try and install it!!!
Try to understand ,,my English its not good enough..
Also ,,i never have a Galaxy before (only HTc phones) and flasing and root its totaly diferent then Htc....so because of that i need help.
TNx
i tried all update.zip and unroot.zip from different sites with cwm and none of them unroots my phone
Try unroot.zip from main post in development forum.

3) Enable Debugging at Apliccations>Programming
4) Connect your phone into PC via cable

For me the SuperOneClick program seemed to freeze but I waited and it was just lag. Worked great anyway.

no need for root. download new recovery as an zip (Philz is an good choice, find his tread here on xda) and reboot into recovery. Flash new recovery zip just like any other zip. Reboot and voila... all done
