You can Flash any firmware from any region (as long as its for your phone model). Just Flash the Latin modem afterwards (also with Odin).
Also the Kp7 firmware is Latin unbranded (no bloatware from telcel, iusacell or vomistar) and has the Latin modem. Try region southamerica (I know, I know, they just keep putting Mexico on southamerica!)

Hi,
i have ran into trouble with my ACE. The Problem:
1.i started Kies and connected my ACE -> no connection was established...
2.i put the Root.zip file and the CustomRom with MyPhoneexplorer (WLAN) to my ACE
3.now started into CWM, wiped all, rooted the phone, reboot -> everything ok
4.rebooted the phone into CWM -> install from zip -> tried to install the CustomRom -> that failed :crying: "E:cannot mount /cache" and so on
5.now i have a big problem to connect my ACE to Odin... i think this is the same problem as Kies already has. No connection possible in Odin...
What can i do to make my phone run? Everything i see in the moment is the startup Samsung screen an nothing happens.
thanks a lot

Have you got tha right drivers?Also try updating KIES

i think this is the main problem... i have tried to connect ACE to 3 different PCs with Kies reinstalled -> everytime Windows notify about "could not install driver".
When i try it with my SGS2 -> no problem at all.
Ist there a way to flash CWM without to connect USB? I mean put the install File on sd card an install from zip?

Hi,
now i tried everything (i think so). Kies reinstalled, different OSs on my PC, different PCs, Samsung USB drivers but no soultion for ACE... This damn phone
don't recognize at USB
i think the next step is only Samsung Service...
whether somenone have an idea for my problem, please post it!
thanks.

was your sga in download-mod?
if yes
did you installed drivers for the sga ?
because if you didnt installed the driver it is possible that you dont get any connection to your sga
if yes
did you checked usb-debugging ?
But your sga starts normaly? So you use a rooted stockrom?

-ACE was in download mode.
-drivers are installed
-usb-debugging cannot be checked-> ACE does not start anymore...
-no, no start possible, only Samsung Galaxy Ace screen or download mode or
recovery mode.
the issue is not the flashing themselves but the USB connection PC<->ACE
thx.

anyone can help me to give the the to get that's file?
thanks before.

I guess I'm lucky
OK. Didn't know were to put this info, so I'm guessing that this thread is as good as it gets.
Several months ago, cannot remember when exactly, I did a search on freeing up internal memory on my Galaxy Ace S5830L Telcel. Came up on Link2SD and read that the phone needed to be rooted.
Original specs:
Android: 2.3.4 Gingerbread
Firmware: S5830LUBKP7
Provider: Telcel
SD: 8Gb
My previous phone was a Nokia N78 so I was very comfortable "breaking" this relatively new (about 6 mo old) phone. Downloaded KIES and made sure the phone was completely up to date with SAMSUNG. Downloaded CWM 5.0.2.6 for cooper directly from CWM (file called AceGingerRoot.zip). Placed the zip on the card, went into recovery mode and loaded CWM. Rebooted the phone and once more went into recovery mode to check I had CWM. Rebooted the phone, went into PlayStore and loaded up SuperUser, Link2SD and RootExplorer. With these loaded I basically threw away most Telcel apps except the I-mail one and transferred most things to the SD card. I even offloaded Google Maps with Street View, ThinkFree Office and YouTube to load them again a user apps and link them to the SD card.
Oh... by the way I used an external windows program to partition the card with a 750Mb Ext3 partition.
The phone only once hiccuped in that I had to work around the deskclock as everytime I touched into it the phone would lock, then I would unlock and it would open directly into the clock. When I touched into the alarms the same thing happened. Same story when going out. I put up with it since it was really not annoying.
Come this past weekend I read that ICS and Jelly Bean COULD be flashed into the S5830. Not wanting to really go that far I went looking for something a little more "tame"... hence cyanogenmod. Came up with a tutorial at wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Ace:_Full_Update_Guide which sounded easy enough. Downloaded the files for S5830 (ccm-7.2.0-cooper.zip), followed the instructions for "Method via Recovery" (including backing up contacts and stock ROM to SD) and voila CyanogenMod-7.2.0-cooper now resides in my phone. The specs are now:
Android: 2.3.7
Firmware: S5830LUMKP3 Build GWK74
Unbranded
SD: 7 Gb user, 750 Mb ext3 for phone
Reading about the issues in this thread I can gladly report that:
a) I have full functionality of GPS together with AGPS
b) My signal reception, both 3G and WiFi has GREATLY improved. I wonder if Telcel is being a ***** and throttling the darn phone with the stock ROM. With 3G I frequently (especially at night) had very bad reception in my calls. This is gone. Also WiFi scanning is better as it now resembles what I can find with my acer 4700 series laptop.
c) Modem functionality is working perfectly. I didn't even need to modify anything, it directly detected the settings for Telcel. I wonder if it "picked them up" from the backup I made in my external SD card of the original stock ROM. This is one of those things I cannot explain why.
Next up... dunno maybe CM9 although dad is sending me his Samsung GT9070 (Galaxy S advance) to play with.

I can't install the ClockWorkMod, when i execute the command "adb push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img /tmp/"
I get this: failed to copy 'adb push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img /tmp/' to '/tmp/' : Is a directory
How can i fix this?
G. Flash Custom Recovery:
1) Push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace.img to your device using "adb push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img /tmp/" command
2) Turn off your phone
3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON
4) Login to your device over "adb shell"

Just out of curiosity... are your file names correct? Are you rooted or rooting within the same process? You post instructions for 5.0.2.6 but are trying to push 5.0.2.3. Do try the instructions I placed in post of nov 07 for flashing cwm via recovery. No glitches on my ace.

Hello all. I'm Nuno from Portugal.
I have a strange problem and i'm asking for all your help.
My Ace's IMEI is filled with 00000000000.
I've unlocked my S5830 with the adb shell method.
First I rooted and after unclocking, unrooted again. All the process went well.
The ace works perfectly but I would like to have IMEI again.

[Q] LG 2x won`t recover / Won`t boot

Hi guys
Rooted my GF`s LG X2 (NVFlash), and flashed CM7. Was working fine, until i rebooted the phone several hours later.
Now it`s stock on the Blueish LG logo.
Tried to run recovery, no help
Tried wipeing everything (Darvik, cashe, factory), no help
Tried fixing permissions, no help
Don`t got a external SD card, so cant even get any files on to the phone!
Anyway to flash a new ROM, from the computer?
Thanks
You can push a zip file to internal sdcard from computer using Adb, see howtos like this one:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
The USB drivers are those used for smartflash, pick it up there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070
Once all this installed, in console ('cmd' on windows) you type 'adb push /path/to/your/file /mnt/sdcard.
.....
Thank you, for replying.
Tried ADB, but now the problem is, that you need to put the device in "USB Debugging", and as i said, i can`t get into the phone. Hmm, lost again
Weeeee! Finally fixed it with SmartFlash, and stock ROM!
Thx anyways

Galaxy Mini S5570i - problem with the installation of the drivers and connection to O

Hello!
Here I am, floating through the Samsung waters
I've stuck on one part, of course; my phone is bricked, computer reads it only half way and ODIN doesn't even show any signs of life and I have no possibility to rewrite firmware up there.
What is it all about?
I've flashed the ICS up there through stock recovery before I saw on xda that new cwm or some other new recovery should be written. First, it gives me the tpm/sideload error every time I try to install new recovery, I can't even do the factory reset, anything. I can enter the recovery normally, it's just that I can't install anything. I've tried with several roms, some of them pass through normally, but the device doesn't want to boot, and when it is turning on, it just shows samsung logo and nothing else.
When I enter the recovery, it shows me this error:
Appling Muti-CSC
E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
and when I try to install something from that recovery it shows me this:
E: error in /tpm/sideload/package.zip
I must remark that the packages I downloaded are 100% valid, the card is regularly formated.
After that, I've tried with ODIN. I enter the download mode, but my device is recognized as modem mode. I've installed the drivers, I have good cable, I've done every little thing they mention on xda. So, let's say that my device is properly installed. But it is in modem mode only when I turn on download mode.
When I turn it to recovery mode, then it recognizes this:
-samsung usb CDC composite device (that is under the USB controllers and it is normally installed.)
-CDC abstract control model (ACM)
-CDC ACM data
-CDC Obex data
-CDC object exchange
These last ones are not properly installed, but when I send it to look for it in folder where the drivers of the device are unpacked, it says they are not found.
Is there a possibility that my computer did not manage to install all the drivers, considering that I installed them after bricking, and not before?
Is there a possibility that I manage to manually force it to recognize drivers and install them?
Is there any way that I can make it to connect with ODIN and write him official GB ROM?
Please help me, I wouldn't want to take it to service!

My dear friend, please note you should NEVER EVER WIPE on ICS, as it is a clear guaranteed BRICK.
Please press the THANKs button if this helped you.:cyclops:
Hope your issue has been resolved.
If not, here's something that worked for me when i was stuck at galaxy note logo.
i was not even able to get into recovery mode but i was able to get into download mode.
if your computer has the drivers installed for your note,
download and uinzip the attachment ADB-files.zip
Unzip the contents to a folder and hold down shift while right clicking with the mouse. You will get an option that says "Open command window here"
In that CMD window, give the command "adb reboot recovery" and voila, phone should force reboot to recovery.
If you get Error: Device not found. It means the drivers were not installed properly OR the pc is not detecting the phone properly.

Sorry but adb won't work unless the phone is detected properly by the computer.
Generally some drivers are installed in the pc with installation of kies. However when the phone is in recovery or download mode it is detected differently in the pc's device manager.
Are you able to get into download mode?
IF YES: Consider flashing a stock rom using odin

My phone also got stuck on the Samsung GTN7000 then turns back off and on on that very same screen.
So I searched the net and ended following the thread post # 2 of this link by drKetan (thanks btw)

But I have a few problems:
I'm located in the Philippines with an open-line Galaxy Note
It doesn't update to ICS over-the-air; I haven't tried KIES though
I lost all my contacts and software (but it's ok)
I just need to bring back my old familiar interface using ICS or if possible, Jelly bean (if it's stable)

I appreciate the help.

Did I download the correct ROM? (it was "Hongkong", when I am in the Philippines should I have downloaded a different country?)
If you have access to pc, install Kies on it and connect the phone. Check what it says. You may need to manually select the correct csc using the code *#272*IMEI#. This will wipe the phone. So make sure you make a backup of imp stuff.

I think I should've downloaded the ROM with the "DX" code in it (where Philippines country falls), instead of the "ZS" (Hongkong).. hence, I will first try what you mentioned. So there's no chance I could get my old contacts back eh?
btw, how can I "thank" you?
If you had synced it with Google or ever made a backup, you could restore it.
You could try the code. If there is no Philippines, the you can go to samfirmware.com and download the firmware you want. There's Philippines (Globe, Smart, Sun) firmwares. I don't know which is what but you may. You can flash the ICS rom directly using PC odin. Just be sure not to wipe or factory reset on stock ICS kernels.

Cant root, connect to Odin

Hi Guys,
i got a huge Problem with my GT - 9305.
I already saved my IMEI etc and now i want to root my phone but I got a problem.
I done everything said in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32235061&postcount=1 BUT:
Everytime I go in downloade mode and want to start Odin this happens ( see attachments )
My Phone wont reboot while I press start, it still says: Downloading ... and nothing happens.
I have installed latest Kies + Drivers, sometimes Kies find the GT-9305 and sometimes not, then i have to reinstall the Drivers.
I have selected MTP + ADB
Android 4.1.1
XXALI7
Buildnummer: JRO03C.I9305XXALI7
make sure Kies is not running when you do it
Root your phone with One Click
Hey, I've got an unlocked i9305 with Optus in Australia.
I rooted my i9305 weeks ago, just a simple software with one click, nothing to do with Odin.
I don't know why there's hardly such tool in the xda and many english-based forum, try this link:
http://sj.qq.com/root [Probably you don't understand Chinese language, google-translate the webpage]
Things you need to do:
1.A Windows-based PC
2.Download the tool from the link
3.Have kies installed (Or you can install the phone driver alone)
4.Enable usb-debug in development option on your i9305
5.BACK UP!
6.Connect your phone with a cable to your PC
7.Use the tool, ONE Click, root your phone successfully
8.After rooting you'll probably find a superuser app in Chinese, don't worry
9.Go downloading the Superuser app in play-store, it can help you to switch to the new SU app.
10.Done!

Can't flash ROM: Wipe all and don't have OS

Hi there.
I recently flashed the OmniROM to my i8190, but since it got several issues, after two weeks i decided to flash stock ROM.
So i enter TWRP recovery and wipe all data on the smartphone, but then my computer crashed and lost the VM that got Odin and drivers etc. so in a new VM i decided to try to flash, but now i can't.
Odin doesn't recognize my i8190, i thought ADB sideload could do the trick following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200but all i got was:
error: device not found
Now i ended up with a pretty brick hahaha.
How can i flash a ROM ..ANY to my phone.
I got another i8190 so i installed the drivers from it to the VM, all except the MTP device, that got error.
I also installed SAMSUNG drivers, but nothing, ... i'm kind of losing it now hahaha.
Can someone helpe me flash this thing?
a) I CAN enter TWRP Recovery
b) I CAN enter Download Mode
c) Don't know if Odin doesn't pick it up since USB Debug i presume it's not on, but then again, since no OS is installed, i don't know how to turn it on from recovery or something like it.

Try another usb port and/or another usb cable. Also make sure that nothing with kies is runnung in background if you happens to have that installed.
When you connect with adb, also take a look on your phone screen if it asks for authorization to connect.
You got both download and recovery so problem is with connection/drivers.

1. remove it and put it into a other phone
2. download a ROM and move the ROM what you downloaded to your external sdcard
3. Put the external sdcard back to your s3 mini
4. Go to recovery and choose "install from external sdcard"
5. And intstall the ROM
6. Done! You have a OS again.
It's very easy and if you don't have a external sdcard then you have a big problem bro

If you have an adapter (micro SD to SD) then you should be able to insert the card into a card reader. This will probably be easier than trying to find another phone.

Yeah i did this, but no luck at all.
Finally i change the usb driver, installed Kies again and voilá! Odin picked up the phone and flash were on .
Thanks to all.
Glad you've got it sorted.
I've noticed my PC wants to install drivers for the phone almost constantly. Every small change seems to result in a change of driver. It can be frustrating.

due to windows updates this should be expected that certain third party software like the drivers would need updates
so that leaves two choices
either keep your stuff up to date
or
get left behind and drowned in problems
