Excuse me if I'm being a total noob here, but I'm trying to learn!
I had an ICS rom on my phone for ages and it was great but i decided to upgrade to cm10 as i wanted to test out jelly bean. Unfortunately i did the install wrong and broke the phones wifi but i know why and i can fix that. What i need to do is restore from my original nandroid backup.
Jellybean seems to have everything stored in a 0 folder. I understand why, because of user profiles but, i assume where ive tried to reinstall the rom a few times, now i have four 0 folders inside each other and have absolutely no idea how to fix it. And when I try to do a nandroid restore its looking for the backup in the /data folder and although im rooted no file explorer will let me copy files into it. I've tried everything including android commander but the only thing that will even let me view files in the /data folder is the file explorer that comes with cm10 and it won't let me copy any files into it.
So basically, is there any way I can restore from my nandroid backup so I can fix the WiFi and try cm10 again?
Thanks in advance. Sorry for being noobish!
Cm10 is very unstable and always having pribkems with either Wifi, Data, or Bluetooth so dont worry about that.
My advice is to Flash back to Stock Official Firmware through Odin on your PC and then root it again.
Then once rooted you will be to start flashing other Jellybean Roms.
There is a large selection of Jellybean Roms on here mate.
Hope this helps

A thousand thank yous! I totally forgot about Odin. I'm now back to stock and everything's fixed. I think I'll keep it like this for now.

E. Rooting for 2.3.3/2.3.4/2.3.5 (Thanks to russian forum-user with nickname may213):
1) Download attached file called upd_1.zip and copy it to your sdcard
2) Turn off your phone
3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON
4) Select update from sdcard, select the file upd_1.zip
5) After the update completed - reboot
6) Now you have rooted S5830
"
before rooting, I've done this———“How to force install apps to SD card without ROOT!!!”, does this affect my rooting?
Try to mount/system and data then flash again.
tried, still can't. thx anyway.
Problem solved!!
I find this article "How to root Samsung Galaxy Ace on Froyo & Gingerbread
"acetips.wordpress.com/2011/09/29/root-ace-froyo-gingerbread/"
I follow the note:
"Those who are getting errors and cant root their phone , Download this file “AceGingerRoot.zip” and use it instead of “upd_1.zip”"
download the file “AceGingerRoot.zip".
and successfull!!!!
I don't know why, but again, it's successful!
I'm sorry, I thought my problem solved.
coz I saw the update completed and the superuser icon in the app drawer.
But when I try to open Titanium Backup, it says my ROM is not rooted.
Still need help!
and my phone is locked to my carrier,
does it affect the rooting?
really need help!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so frustrated!!!
Lol. I had the exact same problem! Are you intending to install cm7? Whatever I did that update pack would not root for me... I ended up flashing clockwork mod ace, a recovery just for the ace. I've heard that the regular ROM Manager can brick this phone. Then installed cm7 without having the root permission in Gingerbread. You can do it just by placing the Rom on the SD and using the install zip from sd option. You will want to make a backup before you do this. Also check if you can find your providers APN values online for setting up mobile data. Worked for me. Do I like cm7? It is good, very customizable. However, do not expect something as polished as the firmware without a bit of effort to figure out the options.

And no, being locked to a carrier does not affect rooting your phone.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA Premium App
you can try CF-root
You should also have a look at the topic on this forum "(Q) GTS5830B root?" I think it may be applicable to you. Some stuff about changing the script in the update.zip pack to match the model of your Ace.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA Premium App
yes, I got the problem exactly same as this thread""(Q) GTS5830B root?" " but I don't understand how to solve it using the method mentioned in that thread.
Actually, I'm not only just a noob, also, ace is my first smartphone.
I tried to figure out all the new words, apps, systems I had to use to get my Ace to customize as my wish.
I'll managed to solve my problem by figuring out the approach that thread mentioned. If I can't, I'll probably try CM7(another new thing to learn).
Thank you for your hint, at least now, I saw the hope out there.
I've tried these 2:
1. edit "updater-script" by changing "GT-S5830" to "GT-S5830T"(my model number), it doesn't work, aborted.
2. delete the "assert", it worked, update completed.
But,
Still,
when I try to open titanium or root uninstaller,
they all say "it is not rooted" after updating was successful.
I just don't get it. WHY?????
I tried to unroot, coz I thought maybe I can get rid of the useless superuser app got from updating "“AceGingerRoot.zip” ", and then I will give modified "update.zip" another try.
However, it's so funny that the superuser app is still there after updating unroot.zip successfully(at least that's what the screen says).
Can I recovery to the stock state by using the recovery mode? so I can get rid of all these stuff and start again!
Okay, you have EXACTLY the same problem I did. You could try SuperOnceClick. It never worked for me, but it might be worth a try before giving up. There is a good Tutorial on it here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
When that didn't work I just installed CyanogenMod-7.1-RC1Cooper-Grif_07 and moved on with my life. You can get it to look just like Gingerbread, but you will loose all your Samsung stuff, and your GPS might not be able to get a fix. Sorry...

Yes, if you made a back-up before you started. It is really easy, it just takes a few min... Without a backup you would need to download the original firmware.

I've heard cannot get backup by using clockwork recovery if it's not rooted. Am I wrong about it?
and I thought SuperOnceClick is for Froyo and not for ACE?
When I installed I was so MAD that I was ready to smash the phone, so honestly I never backed up before installing CM7. You can go ahead and try. The worst that can happen is nothing. If you're flashing CM7 and you absolutely hate it you can always reset back to the factory ROM by downloading and installing it. There is a full Tutorial here including links to everything you need! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263292
SuperOneClick worked on my P500h running 2.3.3...
Thank you.
I'll give it a try tomorrow, and see how it goes.
so i did a backup of my stock root Rom before flashing saurom rom. and when i thought i washing issues i tried to go back and recover it, but i got an.issues saying md5 mismatch. any ideas what it could be?
Not sure but when you do a backup you should always boot it up to make sure its good before flashing anything
Sent from the only smartphone designed by Chuck Norris
I had the same issue too. I have restored from backup on my Infuse a hundred times and never had this happen. What could we be doing wrong?
Did you guys by any chance flash the modified Touchwiz launcher to gain the extra real estate? I know my MD5 showed as corrupted when I wanted to restore my backup after the revert file failed to work. In my case... browsing to /system/app then seeing and removing TouchWiz30Launcher.odex fixed my problem.
ill.give that a shot
You didn't by chance rename your backup did you? If you did take out any and all spaces
i did rename it actually

Hey Jackson, That is exactly what I did was rename it. Do I simply take the spaces out of what I renamed or is this backup useless now?
---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------
Jackson....I went ahead and took a chance on taking out the spaces and it worked perfect. You are a saint imo!
perfect
Yeah when I saw your OP and you said 'my stock root rom' I figured you do what most of us do and name your roms to help remember them... which is a great idea but just be sure to leave out any spaces, i.e., original_stock_root_rom
can anyone give me their nandroid back up of stock rom? I need it to go back to stock..I have to return the device in few days..
Basically, I went to flash AOKP and a a fluxi kernel update today since I hadn't updated in a week and when I went to choose the file from the internal SD card, I'm getting the message: "E:Can't find /emmc/"
I have no clue how this would happen at all nor how to fix and I don't have an external SD card. Anyone know anything about this or how to fix it?
Sorry, I can't help

Try reflashing the orginal firmware and bootloader. It worked for me on my mytouch 4g.

Thanks for all the support guys. Looks like I should have stayed up a little later.
I'm downloading the stock stuff now and I'll see how that goes.
@pirateghost- I can get the ROM on and flash through the sdcard, but the external card won't mount through CWM. It's also having different issues once I am running the ROM (Gallery not showing images, but showing music... weird stuff). I'm not totally effed, but I would like to have my access back.
That's if I understand your suggestion.
Thanks again guys.

Well, I found one in creepyncrawly's signature but I'm hesitant to use it...
(If I did use it though, would I throw it in the .tar file and change the .ini file for odin?)
---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------
I'm not sure all hope is lost.
I think that I just have a limited understanding of the situation...
So I'm back to the stock ROM and the gallery app picks up the photos on my sd card. Not only that, but esfile explorer says that there is a /sdcard/external_sd/ path and allows me access to it. Plays music and all that stuff. Pretty cool, huh?
So at that point (last time and the time before that) I was tempted to root, which I did using zedomax/odin. All went fine, but that's when I lost access to the external card. Again.
Weird.

wipe data (no exceptions)
wipe cache

A nandroid is kinda like making an image of a PC using Ghost (if that helps at all).
You should make a nandroid when:
- You love your build/configuration
- You getting ready to flash a new ROM
- You gonna do anything unfamiliar
It is your way back to a working and configured device.
Ex...
I want to flash romX. Boot into recovery, make a nandroid. Do my wipes. Flash romX. Reboot. Play with new from. Find out I hate romX or its missing a feature I love. Fine. Reboot into recovery restore my nandroid. I am now back where I started...with my phone as it was before I started.
Ti (titanium backup) is a great tool. Yes, it's confusing.
1) buy the pro version...it's worth it
2) don't restore system apps (someone else can perhaps correct me or explain this one)
3) if you move from one aosp rom to another you can restore your user apps and data...this can save you a lot of time.
Oh yeah....ALWAYS keep a good nandroid copy on your computer. If your really frell things up and wipe everything or if the files get corrupt...you will be happy you have it.
Don't feel bad, there has been some weird twist and turns on the dev of this device. It was much easier on my old EVO4G. THE LGOG has confused me several times as well.
Good luck.
