Long story short, my phone started acting up on me and the solution is to update to Gingerbread. I currently have my Ace recently unrooted and with the stock rom, and I've read everything so I don't mess up, but I'm stuck on several points.
I downloaded some Provider stock firmware. I really don't know which one is the right one, so I picked what my heart told me to: S5830XWKPU. There was nothing for latinamerican phones [I'm in Mexico] so I thought it wouldn't matter, since I'm going to get rid of it anyway and install, after the upgrade, CWM, and then CM7.
I'm following this guide, but first, I don't know if the firmware I chose is the correct one. And second, I can't find all the Boot, Phone, PDS and CSC files that I'm supposed to load in Odin, I just see 3 files, and the tar, that I assume is the actual firmware.
Then, once I manage to upgrade to 2.3.3, I want to install ClockWorkMod, via this tutorial. Would that be okay? I want CWM so I can then flash this version of CM7.
Are those steps I'm trying to follow the correct ones? And is that version of CM7 recommended?
In advance, thanks for reading and any information and help will be very appreciated.
Edit: I forgot.. is there a way to backup the current stock rom in my phone? Just in case I need it one day.
Edit 2: Okay, I got it before anyone could answer but I don't see where I can delete this thread.. now flashing 2.3.3 and hopefully it will all be fixed.
Listen if your firmware is 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 then you are good to go and I used odin only once but I think u have to extract tar file with winrar or 7 zip . After installing New firmware u have to root your phone again. After rooting flash cwm.
You are new u should use official cwm 4.0.0.9 (which is only official verison which supports ace) then just flash it.
After installing cwm install cm7 but before installing cm7 plzzzz
remember wipe factory resets/card partion and delvik cache.
These all options are in cwm.then immediately flash cm7.
Never ever intrupt anything first time it takes a lot of time even to reboot.
Yes you can backup your stock rom
There is a option in cwm called backup.

Guys.. thanks for the guidance.
I've already rooted the phone. It's in POLISH. Thank God it's going to be rewritten.. CM7 is in English, right? So once I get CWM flashed [I'm on that right now], how do I flash CM7?
And there's one last thing. One very, VERY important thing. It seems that all this has been for nothing. The reasons I did this are because the camera stopped working, and the battery is getting drained in a couple of hours, and the phone is warm, hence something was making the processor run at max, but I didn't know what. Anyhow, in the Polish stock Gingerbread rom, the camera is still not working. It's frozen, EXACTLY like before. I'm on the verge of tears right now, this can't be happening D:
EDIT: Okay, I'm sorry, I'm just angry/sad.. CMW is invoked just like regular recovery, and that's how I flash CM7.. sorry for that.
First download cm7 kang build rc1
It is about 100 MB.put the zip file in your SD card donot extract it.reboot into cwm.using volume buttons for navigation and home button for selection first wipe the things I mentioned Above.now select install zip from sdcard.next choose from SD card.now choose the zip file u downloaded. Now choose yes install the............(rom name)wait until it is completed. Never interrupt it.after 10-30 mins it will ask you for reboot.select reboot now .on first time it takes some time on boot screen......
But before flashing cm7 backup your stock rom and backup apps using titanium Backup .....

1.) Extract .tar file? .tar & .tar.md5 files r used in odin to flash the firmware. What is he gonna do extracting the files?
2.) Its not compulsory to root the fone to flash CWM. Its not an .apk file to grant root permission. Lol.... If ir flashing CM7, den u dont need to root. CM7 comes pre rooted.

Well, I finally finished.
Regarding Titanium, the only thing that didn't work again was Swype. And the camera. The camera still does the same, it force closes, and I'm angry and sad and the same time, yet happy that thanks to you and another friend on reddit I learned a lot about my phone. But sadly, the problem that made me begin this quest was not solved, and in the end I'm going to have to replace my phone because the camera is gone for good. Unless anyone knows if it can be fixed, but I doubt it because it's pretty much 100% sure it's not a software issue.
Thank you so much for the help, advice and tips. You guys rock, as well as the developers who made all these amazing pieces of software.

i agree with consegregate. From what you described, i do feel the same way that your issue could be hardware related. In fact i believe that part number QCA01 is somehow burnt.
Yep. If by QCA01 you mean the camera's sensor, yeah, it's my suspicion too. Clayframes must have let it running, which caused it to burn.
I'm going to ask for a friend's Ace to backup his rom and flash it in mine so I can use my warranty.

Just a little perspective. A useful exploded view to see where QCA01 is located.
Something quite.. unexpected happened. The camera works. I didn't do anything, other than applying an update to CM7, but after that I tested the camera and it still didn't work. And that was 2 days ago I think.
Today, I accidentally opened the camera, and lo and behold.. it displayed an image. I took the photo, everything works like before. I installed more cameras [NOT YOU, CLAYFRAMES!] and they all seem to work. WTH?? What do I do now, keep it? Take it to my provider anyway? This is weird hehe

opened ODIN, selected the pda.tar file and clicked on start..
Everything was going fine i got all the success messages in ODIN, then my phone rebooted and then stuck on the SAMSUNG screen.
on my PC i see USB drivers trying to be installed and fails.. i dont understand where to go from here.. i tried several time, but keep getting stuck at this point
Please please let me know how i can get my phone back.. i am a newbie.. would really appreciate a link or something that has step by step instructions so i dont mess it up further..

hi, thanks for your responses.
but as i said i am new to all this, and although i have a basic idea about what you are asking me to do, i would really really appreciate it if some one can send me a link or step by step instruction on what i have to do..
i am very familliar with getting my phone in download mode. And also have odin on my PC.. but i am guessing i have to use a different Tar file to flash stock (right?)
if my above guess is right, i think i will be stuck with the same issue where i select the tar file and click on "start'" in odin and everthing goes well until the phone is rebooted and after that for some reason my PC cant find the usb drives and doesnot recognise my phone..
sorry if i am asking silly questions,. but this is my first android phone (smart phone actually..) and my first attempt at upgrade / rooting
hi,

i followed all the instruction to the T in the following link:

i flashed stock rom, then rooted it (this time i was sucessful)
then installed CWM touch, made a backup,
Installed titanium backup, made backup again..
next step is to install the "OnlyOne HYFR B4" rom
Then to try and reset the flash counter
hope i am sucessful at this..
any other ROM recomendations?
glad to see you got it working..happy flashing homey!!!
Sounds like you didn't wait until your system files and dalvik cache was built b4 you jumped the fun and freaked out. Next time realize that after a ROM flash it could take up to 10 minutes to build the system and all you'll see is the pulsating Samsung logo.

If you're not set on ICS I personally run Saurom with Dag's kernel. I don't care what anyone says....an OC'd kernel on GB performs better than any ICS ROM currently available. Not to take anything away from the current ICS roms...

Hi I have a Samsung Galaxy S2. Android v4.0.4 LQ7
I am a noob so sorry if my question is stupid.
I have rooted using method 1 in that thread and it worked great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
Then I downloaded the app ROM Manager and downloaded CM9 RC2 since it appeared to be a stable.
I used ROM manager to download the file cm-9.0.0-RC2-galaxys2.zip
Once downloaded I saved that file in the external SD Card and used ROM Manager to reboot in recovery mode and install the ROM.
The installation progress fine and complete. I then reboot my phone.
When rebooting the phone displays the Samsung galaxy S2 screen and then switched to Cyanogen (mod) 9 screen. From there nothing happens. The phone won't boot. I tried to removed the battery which is the only way to turn the phone off and reboot in recovery and reinstall the file but the same thing happens.
Please help!
You've probably installed wrong zip for your device/variation.
Specifically which GS2 have you got?
Did you wipe date/factory reset?
Try wiping before and after flashing?
Get the CM9 nightly and flash that instead or try flashing Siyah kernel over the one that is on your device now. I personally use Goo Manager from market as you can download/update/notifications and browse compatible roms via that.

If you do a wipe/reset it will clean all your installed apps/app data and restore settings to clean install.
Its advisable to do this whenever you are flashing a different rom. Its easy to backup and then restore all your apps automatically and silently (without intervention) in a few clicks after installing new rom with titanium backup (pro).
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Install CM9 Nightly from internal or external card.
Install latest CM9 gapps
Reboot system.

Gapps is basically Google apps it gives you the play store and sometimes face unlock. Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache before updating to CM9? That's one of the main reasons why ROMs don't boot up. Also first time boots do take a while about 10-15mins...

Thanks. for that. Do you guys know of a shortcut button to turn the mobile data on or off, like the power button does on ICS?
Also I would like to raise an issue with the ROM Manager App. I cannot do a backup of my current ROM. Every time I try to do so the App freezes. It did the same when I first rooted my phone and I was on the Stock ROM I was unable to do a backup then.
Is this something that happen often with Rom manager?

Don't use ROM Manager, due to its incompatibility with most kernels and the S2.
Here's what to do about the short cut for mobile data:
Options –> System –> Notification Drawer –> Widget Buttons –> Toggle Mobile Data
It'll be there at the top when you pull down the drawer, if it's not immediately visible just slide the icons to the side and you'll see it.

You always do backups in recovery mode, Rom Manager (if compatible kernel) simply automates teh process of rebooting into recovery and starting backup.
Depending on your rom/version you can do this via power menu anyway (reboot into recovery).
STOP USING ROM MANAGER!
It can & most likely will fuc& your fone up. If u want to learn I suggest u read all of chainfires posts, then check out the SGSII Bible in the GS2 section. Then get urself the correct tar file for the Cf root kernel specific to ur country or region. That will get u outta the ****e if this ever happens again. Read up on all things root etc. u could do with learning what Odin is too!

Thanks for that. I think I know what Odin is. Thank you so much for that post. You have opened a whole new world! I have opened the SG2 bible I wish I have done that before. I am about to do a back up now. but I have not been able to do a back up of my original stock ROM since I was trying to do it with ROM Manager and it would freeze all the time. I think it is the worse that I could have done I have changed my ROM and didn't not do a back up before. i guess I will never be able to revert back to my stock ROM. Thanks again for you precious advises they have been very helpful!
Naa m8, u can always go back to a stock, u just need to tell me your country & the modem & ROM version, mine was stock Uk 4.0.3 & once you have that you can flash it with Odin then flash the Cf root kernel. you would then be on a totally stock ICS ROM but with root & CWM recovery so you can then flash anything you like. If you give me the country & which ROM (ICS or GB) you would like I can give you the necessary files for Odin.
Do not, I repeat DO NOT flash a stock ROM & stock unrooted kernel as if u do a full wipe it will hardbrick ur fone!

then simply download the stock unbranded firmware for your country. it doesn't have to be your specific country but it helps as it has the csc etc that you need.

In that case you will need to flash an appropriate modem file for your device or possibly check APN details.
You can get modem via dev section (use search) and APN settings from your carrier or google.

I downloaded odin, and the tar file for what I believe to be ICS stock rom. What I am needing help with is what kernel file I need to download. Also, if I put theae files on the sd card and restore from it I am not sure which mode to go into?
I was hoping to find a step by step for a complete retard like me but so far my 4 days of searching have found nothing.. Can someone please please help??? Many many thanks in advance!!

Probably a stupid question.. but I download Kies on my laptop and connect the phone to it correct?? Also will Kies get it from T-Mobile to At&t?
Yes download to computer and plug in, I think it will get it back to ATT but im not completely sure
Why even use kies? Just download a vanilla ics Rom that doesn't have the bloatware and flash it from cwm which the phone already has since it has a cm build loaded.
Please for the love of god don't run the ota ics.

Will installing just Vanilla ICS rom get rid of the Cyanogenmod9? The guy I bought it from was using the phone on T-Mobile, and I am on AT&T..
I guess vanilla is the wrong word since touchwiz is there but you get what im saying. Heres a link to a debloated stock Rom from one of our fine devs. Everything you want, nothing you don't.
http://d-h.st/Shk
1.Download to your sd card.
2.hold power button>restart>recovery
3.wait for phone to boot into recovery.
4.verify you can locate your Rom by selecting "install from internal sd card" and locating the zip file which will be located in "sd card>download".
5.if that is successful then go back to the first recovery menu and wipe system three times then wipe cache three times and then under "advanced" wipe dalvik three times.
6.Return to original menu and repeat step 4 but this time go ahead and tap the zip to install.
7.wait for install to finish and reboot.

I guess vanilla is the wrong word since touchwiz is there but you get what im saying. Heres a link to a debloated stock Rom from one of our fine devs. Everything you want, nothing you don't.
1.Download to your sd card.
2.hold power button>restart>recovery
3.wait for phone to boot into recovery.
4.verify you can locate your Rom by selecting "install from internal sd card" and locating the zip file which will be located in "sd card>download".
5.if that is successful then go back to the first recovery menu and wipe system three times then wipe cache three times and then under "advanced" wipe dalvik three times.
6.Return to original menu and repeat step 4 but this time go ahead and tap the zip to install.
7.wait for install to finish and reboot.
Goodbye cm9, hello stock.
Fyi ditch samsungs keyboard asap. Biggest piece of **** I've ever seen. Its a bad joke.

OK - so I followed all these instructions and it is rebooting to Cyanogenmod9 still....?? I don't see anything different but it said the install was complete. I think I just wiped my entire SD card... banging my head on the wall.
Maybe I would've been better to pay the pros the 200 bucks they wanted! lol
Is it going to brick the phone if I try it again?
Let me get this straight. You wiped the device and installed the Rom successfully and it still booted into cm9? There's no way. I don't see how that's possible. Not if the Rom installed successfully. Try again. Same procedure. The recovery is clockwork recovery right? The text should be blue
Not to be a jerk but it seems like you don't know much about this, just go back to stock, get used to the phone and then flash a rom

Why would you go back to att stock and then flash a rom? That's nonsensical, just flash the rom I gave you and be done with it. Still waiting to hear back as to whether or not you have cwm recovery installed

He's clearly doing something wrong.
Maybe someone should post clear, step by step directions for him to follow
Edit: I see you've already done this. Lol

Yeah. I AM indeed clueless and have never done anything like this before. That's why I apologized in advance for my ignorance. I do very much appreciate your help though!
I am going to try the step by step again and hope for the best!
Is your recovery text blue? I'm trying to make sure you have the proper recovery to flash the rom

Yes the recovery text is blue. Sorry about that. Oh and I didn't wipe out my SD card thank goodness so if my calculations are correct I am only 99.8% ignorant about this stuff.

If you do the following you should have no problem putting back stock ICS:
1. Factory reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe dalvik cache.
4. Install rom (i recommend putting it on external sd if you have one in)
5. Reboot. Done!
I also recommend using black star ICS, very good rom.

Yes and no. I think I figured out what I was doing wrong though..
I put the zip file in the internal SD instead of the external, and the file I was installing was not a complete version. (No idea what happened in the download but I am going to try again this morning and see if it's successful.)
Thank you SO much!! I'll let ya know as soon as I get through this attempt!
EDIT: I put the zip file on external SD. Did the triple wipe of data, cache and Dalvik. When in Clockworkmod - I select the zip file from the external SD and it tells me No files found. I tried remounting both SD cards and still "no files found".
So, my phone is very crapped out. I rooted it and started to flash roms and kernels like crazy. Now, is very slow, it overheats and battery drains really fast. Id like to go back, to have my phone like new.
I already tried to do this with my tablet, but i got some serious troubles. So, can someone help me, step by step, how to get stock rom/kernel and all that stuff? With all samsuns' things working properly, like OTA updates and stuff. Any info needed just ask!
Sorry for bad english :S Thanks!

get ODIN, install drivers on pc (install kies), go to sammobile website (google it) and download the firmware for your phone/carrier/country
enter in recovery mode, wipe data, format system, preload and emmc (will format your internal sdcard)
enter in download mode, endt all task linked to kies programs, plug your phone to the pc
open ODIN, u should see a yellow box saying COM: some number (number of your usb port), if so your good to go
click PDA and select the donwload file (dont forget to unzip it until you get a TAR file), click START
wait and if there isnt any error in the process your phone should reboot to stock, if its stuck jsut enter in recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset and it will boot
Hope this helped, any question ask and for download links too
dont forget to hit thanks

Probably follow the advice from the second post. You could've easily looked up the steps that are given to you if you would've bothered to search a bit.
