My first post on this site.
I've installed ArchiDroid V2.3.3. all is fine expect the camera. I've been the hunderds of posts and seen the update camera fix.
My question: How do I install the OmniRom-Fixed_camera_Lib_for_focus_and_flash_V1.1 do i use Odin or philz-recovery, and is there a step by step to update.
Your help will be most appreciated.

Your choice of user name is of concern, I'd suggest you read and follow the available guides on how to use custom recovery to flash zip files.

Thanks,
Believe it or not, but the problem I'm having is that this site is huge and the choice of words that I put into the forum to search bring up hundreds of posts.
Is it not possible for someone to put a link to the guide

You must flash Zip files with Philz... It's too easy, just flash it without any wipe or something
Thanks boomboomer & k2evil.
All sorted.

Hi,
I'm in China and have a genuine S5830. However, typical of foreign firmware, it's all designed and geared to Chinese.
What I want:
English apps and the phone recognized as English, not Chinese, as the default install language. (I have the English language option, but most apps assume I'm Chinese. Also, there's no Android Market in China.)
I'm guessing that my IP address is sometimes to blame, but I'd like an English firmware to reduce the problem. I'm hoping a full-blown English-market firmware will install more in English.
What I've tried:
Downloaded this file: S5830XWKS3_S5830XWKS2_S5830VIRKP1_HOME.tar.md5
from http://www.samfirmware.com/ as a UK 2.3.5 single-file install
Opened ODIN Odin3 v1.85 and followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
But it sticks on 'setupconnection'.
I've searched elsewhere and tried changing USB ports and re-checked the sequence; as well as being quick with the process.
The phone is always on "Downloading" but no progress bar.
Odin reports various COM numbers - highlighted yellow - depending on the USB ports I try.
But nothing happens. I can close ODIN, or just pull the USB and the phone is unharmed - nothing has happened.
Any ideas? Is there a better flash program now?
Will an English firmware solve the all-Chinese apps on the Samsung Apps and Android Market (when I get it)?
I plan to try a windows 7 32-bit machine tomorrow. Currently on Win7 64.
Thanks in advance for any help.
David.
A letter to newbies.
You have a s5830, so please stick to the guides here on XDA specially made for it, than everything should be fine.
=> [TUTORIAL] How to upgrade, root, flash ... by hubix
As you can see: The ODIN version 4.38 is the recommended one to flash Samsung stock roms.
There you can even watch the video how to accomplish the task.
Next you should read and try to understand this:
=> A Newbie Guide for your Galaxy Ace by EmoBoiix3
Those are pinned threads in their subforums. It's always a good starting point to read up this threads first. That's the reason, why they're stickies in the first place.
If you can't understand everything after the first time going through the guides, than things will be clearer on the second or third round. Try to google the informations you need more clarifications on. Maybe you can help other new members and add some missing or more clear instructions.
If you're at the end of your research and can't find any solution on your own, than other XDA members surely will help to solve the problem you've encountered by posting a new relevant thread.

Sorry, I thought development was for developers, as in developing apps etc. for the android. I've flashed various bit of hardware over time (Still not an expert) and usually found the information in a rooting/modding forum.

I had already seen this, but it has massive bold lettering which seemed to suggest it didn't work. I did read through the thread, but found no new information and it was messier than the link in my first post that I had already found by searching this forum.

Yes. I'm fully aware. However, my search didn't find this page, it found the page in my first post. Google searches kept bringing me back to your forum, which is a wonderfully complex treasure trove of information.

Already did. Over 2 hours spent searching and your forum link in the first post was the best I found, and ODIN was mentioned in many forums. A search for ODIN on google gave me a forum that linked to the latest Odin as this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamacid/files/fb/flash/Odin3 v1.85.zip/download?use_mirror=tenet and as it was sourceforge, I assumed it was the latest.

I understand you get many new people on here who never search. Your forum is massive. I made the mistake of not looking specifically in "development" as you look like an app developer site. Developers get heavily involved in stuff I know nothing about and, as I said, I usually find firmware updates in a modding/rooting forum.
I'll look at the details here, which seems to have links to files and be exactly what I'm looking for. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
However, the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=570045&d=1302939745 to the Odin multidownloader is only 257 bytes and doesn't work.
Please bear in mind I'm in China and although my proxy can get Facebook, Youtube and most other sites to work, we cannot use multiupload/megaupload on any browser with any proxy.
Thank you for your help.
David.
Edit: So far all links searching for Odin 4.38 are on multiupload.com and I cannot access them. Frustrating!
did you get the cooper.ops file?
Just asking cuz you never mentioned it...

Thanks SGA. I want to follow the instructions on the link Tossan gave (C. Flashing the newest firmware, but I can't download Odin. For some reason it is <300 bytes in size; although reporting as a .rar file, nothing can open it.
The Odin I downloaded from sourcefourge (v1.85) is 417KB and opens/runs properly.
I have the firmware; checksum verified.
Where can I find the other files, not on mega/multiupload?
David.
The Odin you want is 4.38. Searching "Odin Multi 4.38" on Google you should find it. It's 444kb in size, and often an rar file extension. You'll need cooper_v1.ops too.
I'd post a link but I'm on my phone, sorry...

If you've managed to download the rom from samfirmware.com, than you should also try to download Odin directly from there (-> Flashprograms / Flashguides).
You should report to hubix in his thread about the Odin file attachement problem, to give him a chance to correct it and other users to benefit from your discovery.

Sorry, I couldn't download from there, I looked at the file ID and searched online; finally found it on Hotfile.
I'll let hubix know regards the files. Thanks for the suggestion.
The good news is it worked! My wife is very happy to be able to read English on her phone now.

David.
Edit: I learned I needed "Odin Multi Downloader v4.38" for the S5830, and as I had a one package install I had to:
1) On ODIN click the OPS button and load the Cooper_v1.0.ops file on it that I downloaded.
2) Click on the One Package button then select and load the Single S5830XWKS3_S5830XWKS2_S5830VIRKP1_HOME.tar.md5 file.
3) Click start and let it do it's magic.
Hello!
I'm new in Android system, my phone is SGS2 G, today after long triyng finally i could root my Phone,
here is my questions:
1- what did mean of Rom? is this just like a theme or just a new style for my phone and some more tools with it?
2-I wanr to add some Rom or a Rom for my Phone and I'm really a new user and have no idea, i read some posts but there was not clean and specialy for some one like me, i want really some simply steps to add a Rom for my Phone.
3- what is the most important tools or app to user that simply rootet his Phone so far?
With My Best Regards,
Matin, Germany
My recommendation is that you should ask in the correct thread. Look the pined threads at the top of the page.
You will find the Q&A thread.
Btw: you can make a fast search on google.
I'm sure that you will find the answers there or try doing what I said before.
Good luck dude!

Before you install anything, you will require to install CWM and root. Install CF-kernel from the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
There is a installation guide in it. Read through carefully before you do something you dont understand.
By definition a room has to have walls, floor and a point of entrance otherwise it is not a room.
hope this helps with your issue with What should I do ? what is Room? lmfao
Rom = full firmware kernel OS modem and applications .
There are no simple steps simple instructions yes .
Odin and CWM are the rom flashing tools of choice .

Some people should not play with their phones like this.. Why do you want something you you have no clue what it is?

Please reply quickly as i really want to install this rom QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE ASAP
Find the CM10 thread in Development, download the rom & put it on your internal/external SD card (or use the Odin version if there is one if you prefer). Either way, follow the install instructions on the first page of the thread to the letter. Done.
No need for anyone to give you numpty instructions here when they're already in that thread.

Hello,
I am currently using the Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300. Bought this device last April. At that time I was completely new to rooting device. I didn't know what to do. I searched online about rooting device, read many post by users in various blogs and threads here in XDA. Then I was very curious to root my device. But even then, though i knew what rooting was and its merits and demerits, i had no idea how to root my device. So I started searching again for an easy and fast way to root my device. Then I came me across the framaroot thread here and thanks to the developer of Framaroot, I was able to root my android safely without any problems. It was a very useful app for beginners who had no idea about rooting.
After few months, I received a firmware update. I had no idea what changes it would bring about in my device. In a hope to find out the new features, I updated the firmware. But sadly, there wasn't any noticeable change. So once again I seeked the help of framaroot to root my device. I was left with an error message and didn't know what to do. Again by searching on Google, I came to know about the OTA update about which I had no idea prior to the firmware update. I realized that the OTA update was a curse to Android rooting and I was left with my boring stock rom without anything. Today again I searched all over the Internet for a very safe and easy method to root my device but couldn't find anything like the framaroot. So here I am kindly requesting, the deveopers to kindly update the already existing methodsor make a new easy method to root android devices so that people new to android can experiment and enjoy root features. Sorry for the long story, thought it might be useful by explaining everything in detail. Hope I have not violated any of the XDA rules. If I did, I apologise for that too but please don't remove this thread. It would be very nice if anyone can find a solution as there are many people in the same situation as I am right now.
Thanking XDA and all the developers for there services.

Thanks for the post. Nevers seen this before. I will surely try it out. I have heard about odin before but was not confident to use it as I thought it may brick my device. Is there any root apps like Framaroot that can help make the process a lot faster and easier without the use of a computer.

1- Its the fastest and most reliable method I femilliar with- just follow the vid orders step by step (according to your device model), and no harm
should be made (unless you plug out your device in the middle of the process, or using a different model type- but even those can be resolved).
2- No apps that I know. Although i would not recommend it even if I found one- just seems too riksy than using the computer...
Basically all the OP questions are answered in the faqs and guides .
Root is constantly updated as and when possible but its not a simple question of just making a new one . Read the relevant root threads .

If it was only that easy on S3 would save a lot of trouble ..yep follow instructions in thread and use PhilZ .tar.md5 not the zip file and if you are flashing CM 11 you do not need to root the rom is already rooted.

Before I do something like that, can u predict if it may work since the same method worked for the N7000 or can u tell me if have you tried it before? (Please tell me if I am annoying u, it doesn't matter )

Is it safe to use ROM manager to install a recovery? I know some years ago that program was not safe.
