2. CWM is similar to BIOS in windows, but here it is used to install new ROM, Backup device, etc.

Samsung Ace GT-S5839i keeps rebooting

Hi Guys,
I've received an Samsung Ace GT-5839i and it keeps booting all the time.
I've already done factory restore, rooting with vodafone pt and samsung official roms and it keeps cycling.. I've 2.3.6 official with SU root.
I've used odin 3.0.7
Imagine you are not using the phone, sometimes it reboots... I don't know if its a software problem or hardware since some people have the same...
Can someone point me to fix the problem? Maybe a 2.3.7 awesome and simple rom? I don't know, something that fix this !"$!#$!$ and keep it simple
THANKS!
After flashing stock rom, go to recovery mode and wipe everything. Phone will start.

2. Still rebooting once a time
Any more suggestions? I have the stock base band

1. open link2sd app (or any other app which allow you to freeze/unfreeze apps). if u don't have link2sd, download the apk and install it..
open it then find Play Store Application Installer
unfreeze it and reboot..
that should solve the problem.
if that doesn't work then, download the apk "cache fixer" and install it.
open the app
move cache to data.
and you are good to go :good:
2. make sure you have biel's cm specific kernel..

[Updated Recovery] CWM 6.0.3.7 for GT-S5282 and GT-S5280

Hello Guys,
This recovery was created by @Unjustified Dev while he was building Cyanogenmod for our device... I have seen that most people didnt see this recovery so i thought of posting it over here.... It is updated recovery with extra option to install zip files from both internal and external sd card....
Here is the orginal thread :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2631926&page=6
And the orginal download link :-
http://www.mediafire.com/download/3xanoc67cw8te93/cwm_mint.zip
Just flash this over your existing recovery...
In other words :-
1) Place cwm_mint in external card.
2) Reboot to Recovery
3) Select install zip file
4) Select cwm_mint.zip file and Press yes.
5) Then go to advanced and Select Reboot Recovery
See the changes...
For new users here's the tar file. Just flash through Odin..
Here is the link

Thanks for sharing
@Unjustified Dev
Correct me if i'm wrong..
But isn't internal sdcard of this device just an emulated storage. I mean the sdcard is fused to /data/media..
Most roms, suggest to do wipe data/wipe cache.. before flashing rom..
so how to flash through internal sdcard??

data/media isn't wiped there's an option in mounts and storage to wipe it. You can fix sdcard by following my commit

add back mkdir /efs leave the preload line gone preload isn't used in roms only stock

I just got an XT1775 from Amazon, unlocked, no ads version.
Is it possible to create a stock ROM ?
I would like to try to root, but would like to make a backup first before messing around with this.
Is backing up using TWRP before rooting the same as creating a stock rom?

It is possible if you know what you are doing. You will want to back up first and do it the smart way with backing up your stock system image. Don't just back up like normal (Sytem, data, cache, boot.img partitions)in TWRP, but make sure to grab the system image too. I would back up all partitions that TWRP allowed you to in the stock OS.
If you do not, you will be in a situation like my self. I built RR for the XT1775 and flashed it but have no data now and no way to install apn. So, your normal course would be to restore back and start over. Well, all I backed up was system and not the system image. Big mistake. Learn from my mistakes...lol...
Anyways @superR makes a kitchen that is outstanding and might be able to help you with your stock rom build. I use it and recommend it highly.

What is the system image partition and why do you need it?

Well to make this as simple as possible the system image backs up everything, like modem and other very important stuff that your phone needs to connect. This was all mentioned in the OP as well as any videos that I have on my YouTube channel. Especially on this device but for any device that you are flashing to for the first time you always make a system image backup (if available and on this device it was, but only on the initial backup). The only way to fix this now is to go back to stock with the links in the "general" and "question and answer" forums for this device.
