i had a rooted galaxy ace gt_s5830 running gingerbread on which i tried to flash (several) cwm roms. obviously, this didn't work. (the first one was for the gt s5830i, and i don't remember why the others failed)

i did do a cwm backup beforehand and performed a recovery that listed as successful.
so when i select restore to that recovery i would assume that the phone would reboot and return it to it's previous state, but the phone just reboots to the same android recovery screen.
is there a problem or am i not doing something correctly?
thanx for any assitance, ed

Did you root correctly your device?
Which steps did you follow when you restore the backup?
Which CWM are you running?

i rooted my device over 1 year ago so i could add more apps on the sd card. i kept using the stock gingerbread rom furnished by samsung (2.3.6)
the root.zip file contains superuser.apk and busybox....
i installed the CWMAce.zip (see attached file) on my sd card, performed a backup which is also on the sd card
( screenshot of the CWM backup that i made)
i presume that i made the backup, and then "wiped data/factory reset" after the backup was listed as successful. i did not wipe delvik cache. then tried to install a custom rom that was listed for gt s5830 but failed in "android recovery window" because it was for gt s5830i. i have since downloaded other custom roms none of which have worked either.
