Here is the details:

I want to install Darky (DarkyROM v10.2) - Will this work?
It will be much appreciated if someone can point me to the right direction because all the guide that I came a cross are saying if I am coming from ECLAIR and Froyo. and none is stating from the spec I have got.
any suggestions is much appreciated

Quick Step by Step guide:
1- You have to look if you have enabled the 3-combo button and also I think it's good to do a EFS backup and save it in your computer.
2- Download Darky 10.2 Resurrection Edition and follow the guide to install it through Odin ( enter download mode, conect USB, check repartition, select pit file, PDA... Etc)
That has to work.

Ok, here you go:
1. Download stock JVQ firmware (http://hotfile.com/dl/122481899/943a689/I9000XXJVQ.rar.html) and unrar it.
2. Download some kernel that supports CWM. Like speedmod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044519) Follow the link and bottom of the first post, there is links, choose one of those.
3. Download Odin 1.3 (http://www.mediafire.com/?zgbta2co4uyct2z) There is also 1.8 but 1.3 works well too.
4. Download Darky's v10.2 (http://www.multiupload.com/NFEDVYNHZX)
5. Open Odin, its .exe inside the .zip you downloaded.
6. Check you have only auto reboot and f.reset are ticked.
7. go to PDA-section: choose PDA file from the JVQ pack you downloaded. Its named CODE there. Then click the MODEM button and choose modem from JVQ pack you downloaded. Its named MODEM there. Then click CSC and choose CSC file from JVQ pack.
8. Put your phone into download mode: shut it down. Then click volume down, physical meny button and power button at the same time. It should show yellow and black screen with Android mascot digging hole.
9. Plug your phone in to PC. In Odin, you should see one of the little boxes turns into yellow. (if not make sure you have latest drivers installed, download KIES if you want them quite easily)
10. When the box is yello, click "start" button in Odin.
11. When it says "PASS" green box should appear and the phone restarts itself. Unplug your phone and wait till it reboots.
12. When it has rebooted shut it down again and put it into download mode again. Do NOT plug it in yet to PC.
13. Press "Reset" on Odin. Then click the PDA button and select speedmodkernel that you downloaded. You don't unrar it. Check that only f.reset and autoreboot are ticked. Then click "Start". It takes few seconds and "PASS" text appears with green box.
14. Wait till you phone reboots. Put Darky's ROM into you internal SD card's root. DON'T unrar it! Just copy it straight to you intSD card.
15. Shut down your phone. put it to recovery mode by pressing Volume up, physical menu button and power button until Samsung galaxy S thing pops up. Release keys and wait.
16. Now you have CWM in front of your nose. use volume down and volume up buttons to navigate in CWM. Go to "select zip from sd card". Click it with power button. Then choose Darky....zip there and click Yes when next menu appears. Texts starts to scroll and when its ready, click "reboot system now". It might do it by its own. i don't remember..
17. It takes some time till phone is ready and reboots.
18. Enjoy
ATTENTION! MAKE SURE YOU PACK UP EVERYTHING YOU NEED. DO ALSO NANDROID BACKUP IN CWM BY CLICKING "backup/restore" and there click "back up ALL" DO that BEFORE you install Darky things!

Thank you for the quick replies - much appreciated - I still have few things to confirm with you guys.
1. Download stock JVQ firmware (http://hotfile.com/dl/122481899/943a689/I9000XXJVQ.rar.html) and unrar it.
### Does this one has to be the JVQ? when I look at Samfirmware the JVQ is for Europe. I am in Australia - will this be a problem?
2. Download some kernel that supports CWM. Like speedmod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044519) Follow the link and bottom of the first post, there is links, choose one of those.
### I have looked at the bottom link and there are 3 options to download. which one should I download? is it this ??: File Type: tar speedmod-kernel-k15i-t10.tar - [Click for QR Code] (7.21 MB, 3436 views)
### How do I install the Kernel?
I am very sorry if this is such very basic questions but I have tried to read it but I just can not get my head around it.
any help is much appreciated.
Regards

1 It isn't a problem
2 Yes is that. You can flash it via sgs kernel flasher (download it from the market) or via odin. You must put it in pda and flash without pit and repartition

Thanks again.
I am so very close here - when I try to download the JVQ - my download manager is saying file does not exists. I go to samfirmware and it says the same. Can I use any other firmware ? Can I use my current firmware?
If I can not use my current firmware, which are the other firmware I can download and use.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME GUYS - MUCH APPRECIATED

Are you using the browser of your phone?

Just tried again and now downloading - very strange
so, correct me if I am wrong - I will need to download : tar speedmod-kernel-k15i-t10.tar and install it using apps from the market?
then I am ready to follow the full instruction to get darky on to the phone .
Thanks

Hi Guys, I got to this stage :
16. Now you have CWM in front of your nose. use volume down and volume up buttons to navigate in CWM. Go to "select zip from sd card". Click it with power button. Then choose Darky....zip there and click Yes when next menu appears. Texts starts to scroll and when its ready, click "reboot system now". It might do it by its own. i don't remember..
### I can not find the the ZIP file of Darky - all I see was the folders which was previously in my SD card.
I already put the ZIP darky into the root of my SD but still can not see it.
When I check the the version:
Build number is Gingerbread XWJVN - Is this correct?
Kernel is 2.6.35.7 [email protected]
firmware version 2.3.3
Please help
Thanks guys

You must go in the folder of the zip file of darky rom. If it is in the ext sdcard choose sd-ext.
Strange you must be on xxjvq. Flash it again via odin

I have just flashed it again and now showing JVQ.
but when I try to browse the CD (sorry not CD - SD card) it seems like it is not there.
Let me try again.
### Have tried again but still can not see the darky .zip I need . - very strange
Thank again for your time and suggestions

Cd?

Darky doesnt support JVR yet.
and about kernel:
13. Press "Reset" on Odin. Then click the PDA button and select speedmodkernel that you downloaded. You don't unrar it. Check that only f.reset and autoreboot are ticked. Then click "Start". It takes few seconds and "PASS" text appears with green box.
Already told how to flash it
That download problem is strange... Try later again. I can't help with that..
p.s. Don't worry your questions, its good you ask

sorry, i was late
so you have copied darky to your intSD card? can you see it if you plug your phone to PC.
You should be able to choose it from CWM.. how about is there something like "install zip from sd card" ?

Yes, there is "Install zip fro SD card but when I execute it, it came up with unable to read of somekind....
Now I have download the Darky rom tool form the market. with this tool I can see the darky.zip file I put in my Sd card. but when I try to flash it it came up with :
runtime error:
location (389,0) file//android_asset/Resources/functions.js
Message:
wrapped java.io.IOException: error running exec() command [Su] working directory: null Environment:null(file//android_asset/Resources/functions.js#389
and the flash does not happen. just stop.
Hmmm.... I wonder if I need to clear cache and factory reset it?
Do I need to install super user (busybox*su)?

Hmm.. it might be good idea. Do a factory reset and clear cache and davlik cache. Do it from CWM.
Then put Darky again to your intSD card and try again

I did clean up and install superuser. Now when I run the darky tool it does not come up with the error message again. however when it execute and take me to the CWM, it still can not run the darky.
message from CWM is:
E:can't open /mnt/sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)

Boot loop problem

Hello,
I tried installing a custom ROM on my 7310 and it had issues. I have tried installing the original ICS from the sammyfirmware site using ODIN. Now I have a boot loop. I think I need to repartition, but when I click the repartition checkbox in ODIN I get an error.
Do I need to repartition? If so, how do I do it? If not, how do I fix this error?
Thanks.

A few questions:

How far into the boot sequence does it get?
Are you able to get into recovery?
If so, what recovery do you have (Stock vs CWM)?
Have you tried seeing what is causing the boot-loop using adb?

I used CWM to flash AOSP 4.1.2. It seemed to work fine for a day or two, but then it needed charging (as normal). I let it charge over night and in the morning it had less battery. I figured the charger or cable were flaky so I tried another set on another outlet and same thing. Then it finally ran out of battery. I let it charge again over night and when I tried to turn it on it was really slow. The boot animation was only 1 frame every couple seconds. It would eventually boot all the way up, but it was still REALLY slow. So I went into CWM and reflashed the same ROM. Then I got a boot loop of the boot animation. I couldn't get into CWM any more, so then I went into download mode and flashed the official firmware and flashed it with ODIN.

Now when I turn it on it just says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I can flash again with ODIN and it will get to the Samsung boot animation and just pulse SAMSUNG.

If I hold power and volume down I can get into download mode or Samsung recovery, not CWM, and power with volume up doesn't do anything.

I don't know anything about adb and I'm not sure what I would be looking for. Is there a tutorial I can follow somewhere?

This worked for me with similar problem
Hi Spazlon,
Sorry I'm not allowed to post links yet as I am also very fresh. But I've underlined the addresses so you should be able to find them
I just spent the best of 2 days trying to solve a similar issue - my 8.9 P7300 kept running in boot loop. It had been running ICS stable for several weeks, then suddenly started to loop boot for no good reason. Anyway - you need two programs installed on your computer as well as USB drivers for your tablet. The two programs are Odin and SDK developer package. Odin3 v 1,87 and 1.85 are found here: filecrop.com/Odin-1.87 - try some of the links, one of them should work without having to type a password. The SDK is found here: developer.android.com/sdk You can find more about how to use the developer package on that site as well, but I installed as support for Android 2.1 through to 4.1
Also install the USB driver files for your tablet on your PC. For example from here: xpdrivers.com/usb/_1_24.cfm?gclid=CL2iDs7MCFWF7cAodxFYANQ
You also need the following recovery files which you can find by searching the developer forum for galaxy tab 8.9:
ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar
P73xx_Stock_Recovery.tar
Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip
and finally a ROM of your choice, for example the ICS rom cm-9-20121028-NIGHTLY-p5.zip that I just used. You can find the latest official ICS ROM's here get.cm/?device=p5
Now - hold down the volume down button on one of the boot cycles. You should now get into a menu with two choices - Download and Recovery. Default is "Download" - if you press volume down you switch between the two choices. Press volume up to select the choice you want.
First you want to select the "Download" option. Then connect your tablet to your PC. The drivers should now install and your tablet should read that you are connected.
Now start Odin3. Click the PDA button and select your P73xx_Stock_Recovery.tar file. Then press Start.
Once finished the tablet will reboot, and you now need to once again get into the recovery menu. Now select the recovery option, not the download menu. You get into the stock recovery menu where you navigate with the volume buttons and select choices with the power button. Do a full factory reset and wipe the cache. WARNING - you will loose ALL your data, but it'either that or stick to a bricked tablet so.... You will also loose your root access,m which is why the next step is needed.
Now that everything is wiped clean you can use Odin again in "download mode" to install ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar with the same procedure as before. You now have root access.
Reboot again and once again into the recovery mode (not download mode). Once you get into the CWM recovery menu you are ready for the final step, which is to install your new operating system.
Go to your SDK installation folder and find the folder named "platform-tools".
First you want to copy two files into this folder (provided you want to install Cynaogen Mod 9):
Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip
and
Your ROM file of choice
Press shift and right-click in that folder and select "Open command window here". In the command prompt write
adb shell
Note - I had some problems here which was caused by lack of permissions. On your tablet in the CWM menu there should be a choice under the advanced menu for fixing permissions. Use that and you should be able to get into the terminal shell afterwards with the adb shell command
Now write the following command sequence:
• mount /data (don't worry if you get an error message - it means the folder is already mounted)
• cd /data
• mkdir media (if you get an error message saying the folder already exists, that's also OK!)
• exit
• adb push Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip /data/media
Now you may have to wait a little while until your command prompt is back confirming that the file was uploaded.
Now on your tablet go to the menu point "install zip from sdcard" and find your CWM file that you just uploaded and run that.
Reboot once again into the "recovery mode" - we are now nearly finished.
Run the above push command again from the computer terminal window, this time to upload the ROM file you want to install. (the command is adb push [filename].zip /data/media)
Now on your CWM recovery menu once again run the zip file you just uploaded from the "install zip from sdcard" menu
When completed and you now reboot you should have a completely fresh android installation. Hope this helps.
Remember to mark this thread with solved if it works!
Thanks to kallt_kaffe and all the others who helped me through their various posts (hope that coffee isn't getting too cold again), as well as the following web sites that indirectly helped me resolve this issue googleymind.com/2011/11/guide-so-you-think-you-bricked-your.html#.UJUNN8XAd8G and galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1-the-easy-way/
Good luck.

Thanks! I'll give this a try when I get home. I'll let you know how it works out.

Don't ever try to 'repartion unless you really know what you're doing. You're soft bricked. Repartion and you'll hard brick.
I'd go back and get hc from sammobile and flash that with Odin. Ics has had some problems.

Agreed - my procedure avoids manual repartitioning - I tried lots of other procedures but none worked. I think my data partition had become corrupt because I kept getting error messages. My first try was to recover with my cwm recovery file I made originally but I kept getting back to the boot loop .

I followed the steps outlined by mobjunky and was able to get an official Honeycomb ROM installed, boot the official and copy my custom ROM and CWM 6.0.0.8 on it. Then install CWM 5.4.0.4 followed by 6.0.0.8.
Now my problem is that any custom ROM I put on there just does a boot screen loop. I tried CM10 and the latest AOSP. To install the ROMs I just booted into CWM, installed the ROM from zip, then installed the gapps. I've tried with and without formatting the cache, user data, and Dalkiv, same results.
What am I doing wrong? I have loaded tons of ROMs on this before without any issues, then all of a sudden I can't get anything except official loaded.

did a format /system before installing the custom roms? This is an important step.

Sorry I'm not allowed to post links yet as I am also very fresh. But I've underlined the addresses so you should be able to find them
I just spent the best of 2 days trying to solve a similar issue - my 8.9 P7300 kept running in boot loop. It had been running ICS stable for several weeks, then suddenly started to loop boot for no good reason. Anyway - you need two programs installed on your computer as well as USB drivers for your tablet. The two programs are Odin and SDK developer package. Odin3 v 1,87 and 1.85 are found here: filecrop.com/Odin-1.87 - try some of the links, one of them should work without having to type a password. The SDK is found here: developer.android.com/sdk You can find more about how to use the developer package on that site as well, but I installed as support for Android 2.1 through to 4.1
Also install the USB driver files for your tablet on your PC. For example from here: xpdrivers.com/usb/_1_24.cfm?gclid=CL2iDs7MCFWF7cAodxFYANQ
You also need the following recovery files which you can find by searching the developer forum for galaxy tab 8.9:
ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar
P73xx_Stock_Recovery.tar
Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip
and finally a ROM of your choice, for example the ICS rom cm-9-20121028-NIGHTLY-p5.zip that I just used. You can find the latest official ICS ROM's here get.cm/?device=p5
Now - hold down the volume down button on one of the boot cycles. You should now get into a menu with two choices - Download and Recovery. Default is "Download" - if you press volume down you switch between the two choices. Press volume up to select the choice you want.
First you want to select the "Download" option. Then connect your tablet to your PC. The drivers should now install and your tablet should read that you are connected.
Now start Odin3. Click the PDA button and select your P73xx_Stock_Recovery.tar file. Then press Start.
Once finished the tablet will reboot, and you now need to once again get into the recovery menu. Now select the recovery option, not the download menu. You get into the stock recovery menu where you navigate with the volume buttons and select choices with the power button. Do a full factory reset and wipe the cache. WARNING - you will loose ALL your data, but it'either that or stick to a bricked tablet so.... You will also loose your root access,m which is why the next step is needed.
Now that everything is wiped clean you can use Odin again in "download mode" to install ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar with the same procedure as before. You now have root access.
Reboot again and once again into the recovery mode (not download mode). Once you get into the CWM recovery menu you are ready for the final step, which is to install your new operating system.
Go to your SDK installation folder and find the folder named "platform-tools".
First you want to copy two files into this folder (provided you want to install Cynaogen Mod 9):
Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip
and
Your ROM file of choice
Press shift and right-click in that folder and select "Open command window here". In the command prompt write
adb shell
Note - I had some problems here which was caused by lack of permissions. On your tablet in the CWM menu there should be a choice under the advanced menu for fixing permissions. Use that and you should be able to get into the terminal shell afterwards with the adb shell command
Now write the following command sequence:
• mount /data (don't worry if you get an error message - it means the folder is already mounted)
• cd /data
• mkdir media (if you get an error message saying the folder already exists, that's also OK!)
• exit
• adb push Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip /data/media
Now you may have to wait a little while until your command prompt is back confirming that the file was uploaded.
Now on your tablet go to the menu point "install zip from sdcard" and find your CWM file that you just uploaded and run that.
Reboot once again into the "recovery mode" - we are now nearly finished.
Run the above push command again from the computer terminal window, this time to upload the ROM file you want to install. (the command is adb push [filename].zip /data/media)
Now on your CWM recovery menu once again run the zip file you just uploaded from the "install zip from sdcard" menu
When completed and you now reboot you should have a completely fresh android installation. Hope this helps.
Remember to mark this thread with solved if it works!
Thanks to kallt_kaffe and all the others who helped me through their various posts (hope that coffee isn't getting too cold again), as well as the following web sites that indirectly helped me resolve this issue googleymind.com/2011/11/guide-so-you-think-you-bricked-your.html#.UJUNN8XAd8G and galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1-the-easy-way/

Gee thanks. This saved my tab. I'd almost given up on it and then voila.

GT-S6500D bricked (with ROM manager)

so, i'll start with the begining...
i successfully rooted my phone using this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqXzpqcMOtQ (check desription, instructions in romanian, but there is the link to xda forum). I guess i used the 3rd method of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719699
my phone worked just fine, i wasn't able to overclock, just to keep the processor at max clock.
so i searched more informations about overclocking and i figured out that i need a custom kernel. i installed "ROM Manager" from "Google play" and flashed with odin "clockworkmod-jena.5.2.0.8.tar.md5" from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768622 .
after that i copyed in my phone the "Universal OverClocked kernel upto 1.1Ghz (For Stock Rom)" from the same link above...
so, in the next step (bricking one) i've opened "ROM manager" and decided to do a data recovery.it requested for root access and i answered yes, with the check to always let this app to have root access. after that i selected "my phone is not listed(or some like that)" and installed the 2.xyz version. then my phone booted with the yellow triangle and after that "CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.8" screen asked me what i want to do. i chosed "backup and restore" >> "backup" and an error message apeares. after that the phone keep booting in "CWM-based recovery"....
my short story(and question) is: how can i get over boot in recovery mode after using ROM manager to get in?
LATER EDIT:
whiting right now i chosed "backup to sd card" the process started but after some minutes ended with error. i chosed reboot now and some white little code show on my screeen, with a flickerring white band on right.
althought is hard to read that, this is what i understood:
###########################

# ROMDUMP Mode #
# (ARM9 mode) #
- AP -
Oups
recovery PID-89
- CP -
vmem Ovil tmp_e LINE_0

##########################
how i get rid of that? i get it everytime i choice to reboot phone now...should i reinstall another ROM? im afraid i might do more bad than good, so i'm asking you guys what should i do...

i think this may work... forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514088

Don't try anything from that ASUS thread , it will screw it up even worse .
Out of the three (actually there are 4 but one , which is the best , isn't listed there) methods to root your phone , you chose the worst . From what I can see from your Odin screenshot , you flashed Galaxy Y firmware on a S6500D (Odin version seems to be the same but I have a bad feeling about that tar you flashed first) .
But the main thing that I think bricked your device was ROM Manager . A thing that no one seems to have pointed out around here , is that ROM MANAGER DOES NOT WORK WITH S6500/D AND WILL MOST LIKELY BRICK IT . . Some people had similar experiences after using it .
Right now try not to do anything stupid with it . I will try to provide you a stock backup to restore on your phone today .
// Here it is : Stock_S6500D_Backup.zip (bassed on S6500DXXLC4_S6500DXXLC3_S6500DORLLC2_HOME) .
Extract it and put the "Stock Backup" folder inside SD Card/clockworkmod/backup/ , on any SD Card you want . Then insert the SD card in your phone , boot into recovery , choose "Backup & Restore" -> "Restore" -> "Stock Backup" and it will start restoring .
If there's any error during the restore , tell me . Also , if everything went fine , tell me as well . I'll tell you how to properly root and overclock your phone as well .

thank you for your time i will try to find a sd-card somewhere... and i will let you know about my progress
cute THANKS button :laugh::good:

is restore working?
your in deep mess man

i guess that rom manager(cwm recovery) can't find my sd card, it tells me when i go to restore from sd:
Couldn't open directory.
No files found

Click to collapse
could i try something from "mounts and restore"?
Later edit: i managed to force the phone go in gownload mode(unplug your battery, plug the usb, press vol.down+home+power, while pressing those insert your battery )
odin still detect it as mini, although is mini2 (i used mini ROM to root it)
PHONE UNBRICKED!!! you guys can move it back to mini2 development forum, because this thread has developed a way to unbrick sgm2

I've also, dead bricked, it's because I try to use 'swapper2'. As a result had to re-flash with JTAG.

I have bricked my s6500d and now when boot it open only in CWM v5.0.2.8 ! What should i do ? need some help .

[Q]

Hi everybody,
I got a big problem. First of all, i'm not english, but it dont matter.
Next, i've recently ( october ) Root and Flash my phone, and installed the SGSIII Rom. My roommate have take my phone and have put the wrong code 55 times(genius) and now i can't turn on my phone ! It's locked on the " S III " screen .. So i need your help. I'm a noob, like says the video
And I don't nknow what to do. I think i should use a " recovery " but i'm not sure of the meaning of " recovery " so I'm stucked..
Really need your help guys
EDIT : I forget one thing, i just want to back up my phone to the normal version .. No root, no flash, i got blackmart alpha so whyr oot ? x)
Exen

Switch off ur phone. Now, press HOME+POWER buttons together. The screen you will see after that is known as "Recovery".
However, if you want your phone normal as before (no root) then, firstly, you need STOCK FIRMWARE of YOUR COUNTRY. Also, be careful... if your phone has 'i' or some alphabet after model name (such as: Galaxy Ace 5830i) then you need 5830i firmware.
REMEMBER:- 5830i is not same as 5830(without 'i').

Thank you for your answer.
I've found a stockfirmware of Europe ( i'm french so i hope it's ok ) for android 2.3.3 ( my version of android ) called S5830XWKPO.
What should I do ?

If you remember your (previous) stock firmware version & you are sure that now you have the correct firmware for your specific device model, then search on GOOGLE for firmware flashing methods for your model. You may also find plently of them here on XDA too. You can also find as many video tutorials on youtube.
Firmwares are generally of two types:- full package(contains 4 files) & one package(contains two files). You can extract the downloaded firmware file to ensure whether it is "full" or "one package". You need Odin.exe to flash firmware & an "ops" file.
... & PC (ofcourse...)
& By the way... what was that "wrong code" you are referring to??

I've find the correct version firmware for my phone, that is ok. But, i put it on my SD Card and my phone can't detect it .. When i turn it up with HOME + POWER buttons, i go on " install .zip from SD card " and i can't see the file .. I'm a bit stucked.
Ok, to make that my phone back to factory leaving ( excuse for bad english xD ) i must Re-flash it ? Like a normal flash, but with this firmware ? And after, must I unroot it ?
EDIT : Ok, i've put the .zip file on my SD card, and i select : " install zip from sdcard " , after " choose zip from sdcard " and at least i select th S5830XWKPO file and i push home. it launch the installation and says :
-- Installing: /sdcard/S5830XWKPO.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update
Installation aborted
And i dont now why it aborts.. Maybe because it's the wrong file ? I really need help i'm a bit lost in all of those firmwares, continents and all of that x')
Thanks for help dude

Read the tutorials, to flash a firmware you need a pc and odin.
Recovery is for installing custom roms.

No No Bro!!... You can't flash it from your phone. Transfer that S5830...zip file to computer & extract it. Then open Odin.exe & place appropriate files in the concerned fields.
For one package f/w installation, tick the option "one package" in odin screen, then place that single ".tar.md5" file under One Package field.
However, if you got full package, you need to place those files in appropriate fields.
(Just search about flashing processes on google.com to know how exactly it's done.)
[]*Remember:- To flash stock firmwares you need to have pc & phone drivers & only custom roms can be flashed through CWM recovery(via phone)*[]
Hope this helps...!!!
