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

I have, problem is I can't find New Zealand anywhere!
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.

Just got my 5.0 and I want to try a different ROM. I looked but couldn't find a page with the stock ROM. Also I got it used. Is there a way to find out if the ROM on here is stock or not? Is there a way of imaging what u have currently so that uf there is something I don't like that I can go right back to what I have now?
In terms of installing a different ROM, do I need to root first? And what is this CM10 that I see? Do I need to install it as well?
Thanks!
What player do you have? international or Korean or US? Either way I think there are stock roms for all three

It should be the US version. It says YP-G70 on the back. I didn't see a thread for the stock ROM on the Android Development page.
Also does anyone know anything about making an image of my current setup?
Thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520728 there is the stock rom for the US. US one is the one with capacitive buttons. The international one has a hard home button if I am not mistaken. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922461 this thread explains you on how to flash things with Odin/Heimdall

Hello, I would like to ask something.
I knew that recently Samsung has released 4.3 update for Samsung Galaxy SIII International Version. The 4.3 update hasn't reach my country yet. I would like to know is it possible for me to flash another country's official frimware? Is there any negative effects?
Meanwhile, if I flash the latest stock rom back to my phone, will it be unrooted?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yes, you can flash a rom from another country -which includes a modem for another country. If the modem is unsuitable you will lose signal strength or even all connection.
Of course if you flash an unrooted stock rom then your phone will be unrooted, that's the whole point.
Unless you are confident in flashing modems and kernels I would not advise using 4.3 yet -it isn't reliable unless you can replace both.
Thanks for the quick reply
In that case, is it possible to flash just the ROM without the modem/baseband? (SamMobile ROMs come with seperate PDA, Modem)
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
If your current baseband is EMGx or later then yes, you can flash just the rom.
Alright.
Thanks for your help

Hey man, our phone has got very limited support so far. But restoring to an official firmware might be the only way for now.
But don't worry, if you don't clear cache and data after using odin, your files are safe.

Hi, all. I'm currently running the insert coin rom on my htc desire 601(virgin mobile usa) and I'd like to know if it's possible to get a completely stock version of kitkat running on this phone? if so, could someone be kind enough to explain how i go about it?
A CMW recovery may backup a stock ROM.
