Hello everbody!
At first, my English isn't very well, so sorry for that.
My Problem:
I wanted to install CM 11 on my Ace I (GT-S5830i), but this extremly failed. To keep it short, i haven't any OS on my device now, but I can enter the CWM (version 6.0.1.2)
What I have done:
Install CWM
wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition (but in the Stock recovery)
format /system (in CWM)
Now I get the error message:
E: can't mount Cache/recovery/log
I tried to install CM 11 (for the Ace I (GT-S5830i) for sure)
Install zip from sdcard
but I get these Messages:
Opening update package...
Installing update...
This package is for "cooperve.GT-S5830i, gt-5830i devices; this is a "".
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-11...

Install aborted.
E: can't mount Cache/recovery/log
E: can't open Cache/recovery/log
E: can't mount Cache/recovery/last_log
E: can't openCache/recovery/last_log
I was so silly and didn't make a backup.
When I try to start the device, only the gt-5830i-Logo appears, of course, ther is no OS installed.
So what can I do? Is there any chance to install an OS?
I also tried to install the Stock Firmware with Odin; result failed.
Thanks!
Edit:
Odin works, now I have the Stock Firmware, but I can't flash CM 11;

This error is not serious, it just means, that it cannot create log files, because of the missing cache partition.
I also got this error when using the "on-the-fly" CWM.
If you install a ROM (which has a kernel), then CWM gets installed to the recovery/kernel partition, then you have a "rock stable" CWM.
Hopefully without errors. But for now, you can just ignore this error.

On some devices the device info in the properties is empty, and therefore the updater-script thinks, the device is not supported.
If you know exactly that your device is supported, you can delete the first lines of the updater-script.
Steps
Open the *.zip with WinRAR or similar
Go to META-INF\com\google\android
Extract the updater-script (Drag & Drop), don't close WinRAR
Open the updater-script with your favorite text editor (i.e. notepad++)
Delete the first lines containing "assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "your_device" || getprop(...) == "...");"
This line can be on multiple lines, so be sure to delete the complete "assert" statement
Drag & Drop the modified updater-script into WinRAR (same folder as before)
Optionally sign the *.zip
Install it with CWM
Be sure what you are doing (at your own risk)
If it worked, feel free to hit Thanks :victory:
Thank you for your efforts, I really appreciate it, but I solved the Problem.
As I said, now I have the Sotck Firmware (thanks Odin ^^).
I flashed CWM again with Odin, and tada, I could install CM 11, without any Problems.

Yeah, flashing the CWM with Odin is another great solution.
Then you have a working CWM out of the box, and the device properties are setted correctly.
I'm glad it's working now

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the Fascinate. If anyone is up for a challenge and could read the small novel I wrote below I would greatly appreciate it.
I was able to successfully root my Fascinate last week however I got into trouble when I decided I wanted to install a custom rom. I read that the rom required Voodoo which I didn't/still don't know much about. I went to Project Voodoo and downloaded PV 5.5 and flashed it via Odin thinking that this was all I needed to do before installing the custom rom.
Now I'm stuck in Recovery Mode, I've followed several tutorials and tried to install ClockworkMod Recovery via update.zip but every time I run update.zip the install fails and I get the Green Android guy with the ! point. Recovery says Errior in /sdcard/update.zip (status 2) installation aborted.
Re-downloading the file update.zip doesn't change anything.
Also, if I try to wipe data/factory reset I get the following error:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 (No such file or directory)
E: install_application_for_customer: Can't mount HIDDENSCARD: Your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
I tried following some of the tutorials to remove VooDoo such as this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804784 as I think this is why I've gotten into trouble, but I can't install CWM and I've had no luck with ADB and accessing the areas required to replace files on my phone while in recovery mode.
I can't run the Vodoo Uninstaller as I'm stuck in Recovery.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, the fiance isn't liking the current state of her phone.

First, I'm sorry if this was posted before, but I couldn't find it. So here we go.

The only button that works is Home, and all that does is hides/shows the menu system.
Is there any way to get out of this mode without losing anything on the phone [kind of a last resort].

I did have to restore, but I got lucky, I tried to see if forcing CWM back on [through odin] before restoring the phone may be a fix [go and try to clear the caches] but didn't fix it, but I did get to back it up from there [contacts were saved, but that is a different story].
I restored via Droidstyle's guide, and all went ok, but now I seem to have a "broken" root. SU gives me this error "checking md5sum... fail!". I tried following the instructions on the SU webpage, and still get that error. Anyone have any luck.

section 5 will get your root back or just flash a custom rom...
I followed the guide, and section 5. Even rebooted it, and tried to reinstall, still didn't work, still gets the error.
Well I'm not sure why you can't get root from using section5 it has worked for others including myself flawlessly...anyways I have one more suggestion. go to section 2 find the deodexed eh03 in step 12 download to sd card and flash in cwm. then follow steps 17-20

OK at what point are you getting the errors from section 5?
Is it when you odin?
Can you boot into CWM?
or is it when you flash the SU?
Hi guys!
I need your help.
My P-7501 doesn't pass the SAMSUNG logo. It is NOT a bootloop (in my opinion), it just displays the animated logo, which keeps 'shining' forever.
It had the stock rom (4.0.4). I can access to Download mode and Recovery.
This is a list of things I've tried:
- Rebooted to recovery, wiped data/factory reset
- Flashed, using Odin 3.07, "GT-P7500 ITV P7500XXLQ8 P7500OXALQ8 Original" and also "P7501XXLPC_P7501DBTLPC_DBT" stock roms. No errors, but still same issue.
- Installed Recovery – ClockworkMod 6.0.3.0 (CM 10.1) and then wiped data, formatted drives, cache, Dalvik, ... Nothing changed.
- Installed TWRP recovery, but got the 'rolling' screen issue.
- Manually (with adb sideload) tried to install "Ganbarou-GT-P7501-v4.05-2013-11-16", but got errors during the installation.
I have wiped data, formatted drives, cache, Dalvik, before and after every flash. I've tried everything I have found in here and many other websites, but the solution is always to flash a rom... but this is not working for me.
Any suggestion, info request, question is really welcome.
Thanks in advance!
I'm still using odin v1.85 althou this should make no difference. You can find it here if you wanna give it a try.
What version of TWRP did you use? You can find 2.6.3.0 here.
What errors did you get installing the custom ROM?
You can push files via adb to your tab if it dosn't show up as a usb-storage device and then use your custom-recovery to install it...
adb push /path/to/local/file /mnt/sdcard/path/to/file
The standard procedure of installing a new custom ROM is...
-Boot into your custom-recovery
-Factory reset
-Wipe system partition
-Install ROM from zip
-Install gapps from zip
Optionally you can reboot and fully boot up your device before installing the gapps to avoid bootloops that might occure...
Hi Prowler665
Thank you for your quick response.
I have installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 and it is working fine now.
As I cannot see the tablet from my computer (win7), I have adb push the Ganbarou rom to /sdcard/gan/
Then, I have tried to install it but I'm getting the error:
set_perm: some changes failed
Then, I have tried with the cm-10.1-20130116-UNOFFICIAL-p4.zip rom
but I'm getting the following error:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "p4" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "p4"
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/cm/cm-10.1-20130116-UNOFFICIAL-p4.zip'
I have been wiping to factory and the system partition before every installation.
I'm trying to install any custom rom just to make the tablet to work, and then to install the stock rom.
If I can provide you with more info, please let me know.
Thanks!!
UPDATE: Solved the assert issue removing the first line in cm-10.1-20130116-UNOFFICIAL-p4\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script, but now I'm getting the same set_perm error.
I have checked the MD5 checksum value of the rom and is wrong, so I am downloading it again.

The errormessage regarding the Ganbarou-ROM is a complaint about setting permission which could be about anything... Using TWRP you could try advanced/fix permissions
The error on the CM is a complaint about your tab not being a model p4 (7500/7501)... I had this kind of error when using an outdated version of CWM. Since I never tried CM I'm not sure if it depends on CWM for installation. Anyway you can find the latest version of CWM here.
But since you wanna go stock anyway...
I was using odin v1.85 and P7500XXLQ8_P7500OXALQ8_P7500XXLQ8_HOME.tar.md5.
- Using TWRP goto wipe/advanced wipe and wipe all but internal storage and power off.
- On your pc run Odin as Administrator, tick on PDA, and choose the firmware file
- While the tablet is still off, plug in the USB cable on the tablet. Don't connect to the PC yet.
- Boot your tab into download-mode and connect it to the pc.
- As soon as odin finds the tab click START in Odin and wait for it to finish. The tablet will reboot when done.
...at least for me this was working fine...
Thank you for your help, Prowler665.
I have managed to install the CM rom, but the issue is still the same as with the stock rom: the tab is stuck at the CM logo. I have left it for more than one hour, wiped data/factory reset, rebooted a few times... but no luck.
Now I'm downloading the P7500XXLQ8_P7500OXALQ8_P7500XXLQ8_HOME.tar.md5 rom and will try to flash it with Odin as admin, as I've never tried this way.
I'll let you know.
Thanks again!

Hi Prowler665,
Yesterday I followed your instructions and flashed this stock rom with Odin 1.85 as admin, but the result is the same: stuck at the SAMSUNG flashing logo.
Is there anything else I can delete (like the whole 'internal sdcard') before flasing or to post any kind of report or log (with TWRP or adb) that could help?
I have access to the root directory with TWRP or adb shell. Is there something which is not flashed with the rom that I can check?
I have flashed many devices from routers to phones, so I'm not new doing this. I feel that the tablet is not dead, but there is something I'm missing...
Hmm, maybe adb logcat or adb bugreport can shed some light on this strange behaviour...
Wiping the internal storage should not make any difference but you can surely give it a try since there is nothing to lose anyway... If there are any files you want to keep you can get them with adb pull <remote> [<local>].
One more thing that might help is reflashing the bootloader as, at least for using CM on the p4, the UK ICS bootloader is advised - but this is purely a guess...
You can find the reference here and the files here.

To get a log of the boot-process...
- Turn off your tab and connect it to your pc.
- On your pc start adb logcat > boot.txt
- Start up your tab.
- When done hit ctrl+c on your pc to exit adb.
The same should work for adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt

Hello Everybody,
my boss got me a Galaxy ACE S5830i in order to test some app development and I immediately managed to root it and install a custom ROM.
These were the steps I took
1- I flashed the update.zip I found around the web, for example here -> http://www.theandroidroot.com/root-install-cwm-recovery-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830i/
2- I flashed CWM 5.0 and immediately, without rebooting, saw the new Recovery. So it really did install!
3- I updated to CWM 6
4- I flashed thunder kernel in order to make the CWM permanent -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335947
5- I rebooted the phone in recovery mode and got the CWM. Everything was fine up to now
6- I flashed a ROM (after wiping everything). Actually, several roms. I tried first with CGM, then with Aroma and Retribution Beta. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806471 All of them managed to install but none of them works. What ALWAYS happens is that the ROM installs, then I reboot and the phone does not go past the Samsung Logo. Then, and here we come to the weirdest part, when I reboot in recovery mode in order to flash another rom... I get the stock recovery! No CWM, no customizations!
What's happening, in your opinion? I tried to flash a custom ROM with Odin as well, but being on Linux I had to use JOdin and could not manage to flash anything because (as it ALWAYS happens with JOdin) I was not able to load a suitable PIT file. No success with wine+odin as well.
Please, could somebody help me? I can't use my boss phone, and can't return it to him until I get a working ROM on it
Thank you in advance
P.S. When I get to the Recovery I see some rows to the bottom:
-- Appling Multi-CSC --
E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /system (Indalid argument)
and (I know 'cause I tried) I can't mount or format the /system partition. Maybe it's related, maybe it's not...

Hello,
thank you for answering.
I can temporary get to CWM recovery for sure, but I don't know how to push the erase_image file (that I found) to the device. I'm only able to copy files on the SD, using another phone, and then flash them from CWM. Is there a way to make adb able to detect the device even when it's in recovery?

Are the ROMs you tried based on CM7/9? Because if they are, you need to format your system partitions to EXT4. You can do that with the multi-formatter.
Also, you say that you have your stock recovery back. Check the ROM zips that you flashed for any boot.img. If there is, check which kernel and which version. Some older kernels still have stock recovery.
As even stock recovery cannot mount /system, clearly your system partitions are corrupt. Format with the multi-formatter and flash a CM7/9 based ROM or flash back stock firmware via Odin.
If you choose the multi-formatter, remember to flash a kernel afterwards. And if you prefer, one with a permanent CWM.

Hi all,
I've got a P7500 running CM 10.1. A while back it rebooted after Chrome froze and ended up stuck in bootloop. I've had that happen before so I figured I'd just install the ROM from zip again. I don't remember all the things I tried to get the tablet to work again so long story short here's the situation now:
- I currently have no ROM installed
- I run TWRP 2.7.1.0
- I am able to flash
- I have a CM10.1 nightly on /sdcard
- I cannot enter fastboot mode (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/twrp-wiped-device-o-errors-t2444927 looked promising ...)
Now, when I try to install the ROM from zip I get errors along the lines of:
E:error: Not a directory
E:error opening '/data/data/org/mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/338zfnx2.default/Cache/B/02'
E:error: I/O error
E:unable to open zip file.
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/cm-10.1-20140112-NIGHTLY-p4.zip'
Updating partition details...
E:error opening '/data/data/com.google.adnroid.gms/cache/logs/com.google.android.gm'
E:error: Not a directory
and so on.
I'm also unable to sideload the stock ROM. The log says that it's unable to access /sdcard. I also can't mount /sdcard through sideload.
Any ideas? I'm going crazy. I've spent a few weekends on this so far with no results and really, really need my tablet back. :'(

Hi all,
I've got a P7500 running CM 10.1. A while back it rebooted after Chrome froze and ended up stuck in bootloop. I've had that happen before so I figured I'd just install the ROM from zip again. I don't remember all the things I tried to get the tablet to work again so long story short here's the situation now:
- I currently have no ROM installed
- I run TWRP 2.7.1.0
- I am able to flash
- I have a CM10.1 nightly on /sdcard
- I cannot enter fastboot mode (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/twrp-wiped-device-o-errors-t2444927 looked promising ...)

Hi, thanks for the response. I had been thinking along these lines but was unable to find a flashable stock ROM. I have it as zip but not as MD5. Do you happen to have a link to one?

Hey, I managed to get back into the device. Two important things here:
1) The TAR can be extracted to provide a flashable MD5 file
2) I had downloaded the ROM for Germany. I forgot that the Tablet was purchased in the Netherlands though. When I flashed the German ROM it said something about CSC and PHN. PHN was the code for the Netherlands. I downloaded that ROM and flashed it successfully.
Lots of time invested, lots learned. Thanks!
