Well, I am posting this behalf of my friend....
He had ClockWorkMod Recovery installed and Rooted his Ace on a stock firmware...
Just a few mins back he installed the ROM Toolbox app from the market.
After installing and running the app, the app told him to restart his phone and after that the phone is stuck on the "S5830" logo....
He is able to get into Recovery Mode, and also tried wiping everything but hes still stuck on that logo
Please help.
Kind of urgent...

Yeah, I had that in my mind too but my friend is unable to flash right now, so any other alternatives?
no backup?
if CWM is working properly try to flash again the ROM zip and do the full wipe...
as u said he tried to wipe but still stuck, odin is the only solution now.

Hmmmm...
Well if Odin is the only chance now I guess thats how I am gonna need to do it....
Is there anyone else here that has used ROM Toolbox and bricked their Ace?
Cause I used it on Samsung Galaxy 3 and it did not cause any problems....
No, I'm aware of every single app that has "ROM" in its name. If you know what I mean.

Thanks for the reply
If he used ROM Manager to install CWM, then it can't be repaired :/
I mean, ROM Manager is very dangerous for Ace. Many people have bricked their phone by using it. It may be compatible with Galaxy 3 but on Ace, it's DANGEROUS

I use it for convenience to build.prop editing though

Read some Guide about flashing our Ace. I sugest to flash your phone via Odin to stock rom (have to download stock rom files). Don't do this if you don't know what that's mean. U do it on your own risk.

good to hear that you got it back to life.. as such flashing is not that difficult at all...
thing you need is only ENGLISH and proper research for your own phone

Again, your telling the poor chap to do something out of his league.
Buddy, you need to take it to your nearest samsung service center.
DO NOT try to flash it, you will end up bricking it entirely to the point where it doesnt start.
Oh look, another one -.-

Is there any limitation flashing using ODIN?
i mean, is that safe using ODIN several time to flash the S5830?
or any limitation for doing this? to avoid the bricked situation
thanks
Using this ace since March, I've flashed through ODIN at least 20 times and the most problematic hurdle was a bootloop. Once. Nothing I can't fix.
But there is going to be a degree of potential bricking when flashing (either through ODIN or flashing zips).

flash memories have certain amount of read/write cycles so don't try to flash it that much with odin as at end of life it will refuse to do anything..
no one can provide you specific number as it depends on flash chips on device

Right well been playing aruond alot with my phone and now want to go back to stock rom so i can install sgs 2 final rom.
The reason is that the a2sd isnt working on that rom and the kernel that i have is not cf-root and cf-root will not install when i flash the rom.
So obviously i have a galaxy ace, it's GT-S5830.
I am unable to recover my backup using cwm as it just stops at the second samsung boot animation.
Now i am looking for the stock baseband version but cannot find that. My baseband is S5830BVKQA.
I have been using cm7.1 and .2 which from what i have read causes problem due to ext4 and rfs system thing.
Please help me this is the last thing that i even want to know
i am currently working on the a2sd malfunction
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
You god.
But do you have any idea still where i can find that stock rom. Not that i want it over urs coz i dont but if i even want to go back.
I went on samfirware and its not there.
Also on your rom my android version is final 2.3.9??
God at the moment all that seems to happen is me ask question lol sorry wont be for much longer

finslly an idea that will work. God i hope this works lol, im sure you will be hearing from me about something else lol.
Im hoping going back to stock rom then back to your rom will solve all the problems (a2sd and final 2.3.9).
Hows the fix going?
yep. odin works wonder.
good luck!
@Ex Deus Xien you also agree this will work?
Dude im loving this. It's nice to know you can go back to normal.
When i re-root it can i use the zip i used on my old firmware?
well got it all set up and it wouldn't recognize my device in download mode. Just going to stick with sgs 2 but will keep an eye out for your fix spacecaker. thank you for all your help

Install the stock rom using odin again with one package to flash the md5. Everything will return to the original, including recovery.

Thanks for your ans & replies.
Sry, for my bad english.
Anyway to backup my original recovery before installing cwm by adb or utilities after just rooted?
Use clockworkmod.With it you can backup the whole rom/OS of ur device. BUT download the package for ur device ONLY. ClockWorkMod is very small in size btw (jst 300-400 kb).
Hope i helped .
