Repacked ROM
Thanks mudkipstar.
Repacked ROM, just PDA file for odin.
Bootloader, Baseband (radio) and CSC has been removed.
No risk of hard brick, no lose of 3G or WIFI problem, no operator customization.
Can upgrade from other stock without factory reset (still not recommended).
For root, use Gingerbread universal root.
Download from Dropbox.
Tested.
Edit:
boot.img (!=) is not equal to bootloader (arm11boot)
For more information about boot.img see this and this . Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Post build.prop from this firmware who have downloaded

---

Root works fine .. :good:

---

looking at build.prop it is exact KTQ which is carrier free.. this may just add some language / bloat and csc

---

So they uploaded a new firmware only to add some launguage etc. ?

i downloaded the file, inside CODE_S5830XWKTQ.tar.md5 there is a boot & recovery image file...always a risk for a brick.

Hi,
I have flashed this ROM successfuly on S5830 Ace using Odin PC, and appart from a few usual lags, it works great ! (Merci Free !)
However, I tried flashing it using the experimental Mobile ODIN port which brings support for Galaxy Ace (S5830), but after following the exact instructions posted, my Ace reboots a few times as expected ... but reboots back into the old ROM as if nothing had happened oO At least it isn't bricked ...
The Mobile ODIN port for S5830 is posted here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029180, and since I'm a newcomer to the forum I can't post my problem there yet
Does anybody else experience this wierd behavior ?
Do note I haven't tried flashing other ROMs with it yet since I'm mainly concerned about this particular one for the moment.
Edit : I had root enabled before flashing. And just in case it rings any bells, I'm flashing this ROM over itself to restart from scratch, ie:this ROM is already installed on my Ace via Odin PC.

if you did the Odin flash correctly and the problem still persist. maybe there's a problem with the ROM. try flashing the Spanish ROM same as this.
I suggest you flash a custom ROM. faster than stock ROM. and theres a lot of customization options for it.
welcome, BTW.

Cheers ijustzeke, I'm glad to be here
I tried flashing another ROM from sammobile, it failed the same (they're in proper .tar.md5 format since they work via Odin PC) ... until ...
... I flashed the Cyanogenmod 7 ZIP via CWM. Then, I was able to reinstall MobileODIN and flash the stock rom over CM7, this is wierd ...
Thanks for the tips anyway, I'll post my problems in the dev thread when my profile matches the requirements, cheers !
