I've been mucking around with a few different custom roms for a while now. Have decided I would like to go back to my original. I'm using Vodafone in New Zealand, and am having a hell of a time finding the original roms/firmware for my galaxy Ace.
ANy help would be greatly appreciated. I just want to get back to the original where i can update through Kies...
Tried www.sammobile.com? They have the most complete list of stock firmwares available.

I have yeah, I'm just not sure which one I need?
read the country or provider
and see codes that stand for which country and u should find right 1
or get latest version build...
as only changes in those will be newer might be stable and different would be crapware which are different in different roms most of times.. and one more regional languages might also be missing in other region roms

Try an Asian firmware, since it's closest. Do you remember your baseband version before flashing?

No, I'm afraid not. I figured I wouldn't to worry since I made a backup of all the original with CWM. For some reason, anytime I try to restore it, it just boots up whatever ROM I happen to have going at the time. Very frustrating
Latest NZ FW:
PDA:S5830XWKS9
Phone:S5830XWKS3
CSC:S5830VNZKP5
I have CWM backup, let me know if you still need it or not.

Check CSC NZKP5 (my post a page back). It is NZ stock rom. Baseband is XWKS3. That's the rom when I got my phone unless you've got parallel imported one.

Hi guys.
When flashing firmware through odin, sometimes there are 3 files to be flashed, and in certain cases only one (pda). Why is that?? I flashed 2.3.4 android using odin with only one .tar file, but now for 2.3.5 there are three files. I live in austria, and I flashed the "official" austrian version. Whats the difference between those versions? I am on austrian tmobile, and i wouldnt like to loose the network settings? Can someone clear this mystery for me, since I am really confused?
Thank you guys in advance!!

hi,
when you have one file, it means it has all been packaged into one and you flash it under the PDA section of odin,
when you have the 3 seperate files you put them into their individual sections in odin.
- Don't select Re-Partition!
hope this helps
Thank you for your reply!
It is definately helping. But, what does it mean the firmware that i flashed is for austria? They released 2.3.4 for many countries... Why does it matter? Whats the difference between this one and firmwares for other countries?

Official Austrian version is Android 2.3.4 and the XXKI3 for Poland is Android 2.3.5.
So what will happen if I flash the polish version? I am talking about firmwares in general, even the 2.3.4... Why did they separate it that way? Isnt it pretty much the same for all the countries?

dude,VERY IMPORTANT WARNING what "intratech" has given you.Do not select re-partition unless you are using a pit file.You are not so DO NOT tick this box or you will brick your phone.
Ya i figured that from all those different flashing guides... Thanks though... Do u maybe have an answer to my question about android version for different countries? Would it make any difference if I installed the polish 2.3.5 version on my austrian galaxy s2?

I've searched this question in the forum and couldn't find it.
I want to put a custom rom on my galaxy ace GT-5380L, but all the roms available are for GT-5380. I tested some roms made for GT-5380 and they work, but I don't know if there is any difference beside the modem for south america.
I also tested 3G on this rom I mentioned and worked fine, but I want to know if there is something I'm not finding.

I didn't mean change the modem physically, but to change the driver in the new ROM.
No you don't need to do anything...I have the same " L" version and I was hesitant as well to start flashing ROM's but I've flashed over 10 so far and everything works.

Yes, use Odin as instructed and you should do fine.

The CSC Changer app requires root permissions to work. Just follow the instructions, that's all.

That thread is about the differences between releases.
We got battery threads all over the forums.
Take a couple of hours and read what other users experienced.
Battery drain is always settings related, If we'd had a magic app that would stop battery drain you'd know about it.

That's Kazakhstan unbranded ROM. How do I know that? I went to the same place you went.
Notice that if the ROM listed has got "( )" right next to it, what's inside is the ROM's carrier brand (E.G Vodafone).
You'll get future updates yes, via OTA or kies; it depends.

I think you are new to here.. would be better to read Faqs and Guides First to Know about your device and do rest of the things else you will mess up with it..
As far as I know, you should flash a modem without Ril because Cm have his own, or you will end up with a No Signal..
I have flashed ROMs on my Samsung Galaxy S since 1 year so I know some stuff. I never worked with modems and RILs. I knew CM has it' s own RIL but I thought maybe it would work with other RILs too. My modem is XXLF5. Also, the modem you have is umbraded? Because my phone isn't bought from Orange, it's unbranded by default.
By the way, thanks for giving me tips! Much appreciated!

From what I've read, Modem are related to your SIM card carrier and country .. In fact my phone was branded Tim, but my modem is for Vodafone / Europe , matching my actual carrier and works very well..

Hey
I had the same problem with the high dBm values after installing another modem/RIL
around 1200dBm for weak signal strength und ca. 1900dBm for good signal.
After reinstalling the RIL that came with CM10.2 everything worked fine (I made a Nandroid-backup)
The RIL is just the files in /system/lib/
libril.so
libsec-ril.so
right?
if yes => i could upload it (but I'm not shure if this will break any certificates)
