EDIT: Phone rooted and CWM V4 on my ace. When your updating the version from SD there are a load of no's and one yes option (to install update) in the recovery. However there is no option for explictly upgrading version 4 to 5. Anyone got any clues on the next step?

Yes I get a error: E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip - (No such file or directory) Installation Aborted.

I know this means that I haven't named the CWMv5 file "update.zip". Should I just try and "install" rather than "update" clockmod V4?

may i ask where have you put your cwm5 file? i mean the .zip? i think it should be located on the root folder of your sd card..

Bricked?

Finally got the change to "upgrade" my sisters phone, but i think i just bricked it.

It currently runs on froyo, i rooted it a long time ago. Today i installed CWM (5.0.2.6). I then booted the phone (in stock firmware) and used the CWM app to boot into recovery.
Now it hangs on the screen that with the samsung name and website. No way to get into recory.
I can get into downloading and ramdump mode, and tried both to connect to Kies for a emergeny firmware recovery, both keeps " connecting" to the phone.

Is there any way to fix what i just did?

Thanks it works!, Sorry about all the bother I've caused you :) .... Which Custom ROM would you now reccommend? There so much to choose from and I like Cynaogen but also beats audio....

When installing Custom ROM do I need to take out my sim card or anything?

    [GUIDE] How to upgrade, root & flash Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 [DOWNLOAD LINKS | CWM5]

    Hey guys,
    in this tutorial I will show you how to upgrade and root your Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830. This method is the simplest way to do it.
    Shall not be liable for any resulting damage to your phone! Everything you do at your own risk!
    If you want to upgrade to newer version then Gingerbread I suggest you to make full procedure, not only flash recovery.
    WARNING
    If you don't understand what is root, ROM, phone, flash, CMD etc. watch this movie
    You will need these files:
    • Brain
    • PC with Windows XP SP2 or later
    • Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830
    • USB to Micro-USB cable
    • .Net Framework 2.0 or later
    • Android Software Development Kit (SDK)
    • Samsung Kies or Samsung Android USB Drivers
    • ODIN 4.38 + OPS
    • SuperOneClick (for 2.2> firmwares) or Universal Gingerbread Root or Unroot (for 2.3< firmwares)
    • ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 (Fixed!)
    • New firmware
    • *Optional Custom ROM

    Newest firmware:
    Release name: S5830DXKT7
    Release date: November 2012
    Country: Vietnam
    CSC: S5830OLBKT3
    Android Version: Gingerbread 2.3.6

    A. Preparing your PC:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
    8. Now your PC is ready!

      • If archive contains only <filename>.tar.md5 select it as PDA and OPS as OPS, leave other fields EMPTY
    5. Connect your phone via USB into PC
    6. When the screen is turned on hold POWER+VOLUME DOWN+HOME and wait until the phone enters the Download Mode
    7. If ODIN detected and recognized your phone should light up the first square to the left side
    8. Press "Start" button and wait, the process should take ~5 minutes
