[Q] Odin/pc doesn't recognize my samsung galaxy ace s5830i

---

Hello,

Im all new in this forums and i just got my just got my first smartphone, a samsung galaxy ace with android 2.3.6

I tried to root it on my windows 7 laptop with superoneclickroot. this didnt work so i flashed AceGingerRoot with the stock recovery and it succeeded. After this i tried to flash ClockWorkModRecovery with the stock revovery and the original version didnt work so i downloaded ClockWorkAce.zip and flashed this with the stock recovery. After this i clicked reboot now. and after that my phone wouldnt boot anymore. I can turn it on but it then keeps getting stuck at the boot screen with samsung galaxy ace gt s5830i on it... I can get into recovery mode and into download mode and i looked on some forums and they told me to just flash the stock rom with odin. I tried this and got my phone in download/odin mode (it says odin mode but idk if it is download or odin mode) but my pc and laptop both dont recognize the phone, but my pc actually says: ''unknown device is ready for use'' but in odin the white box thingy with com port mapping above it doesnt become yellow, although i added the cooper.ops in the select ops box and i also added a 1 package in the one package option. oh, also when i plug the phone into the usb cable when its off it give a grey empty battery with a loading circle inside it on the phones screen

I only got my phone 1 day now so please help me, it would be REALLY REALLY appreciated

Try to install samsung usb drivers.the download mode volume down+home+power button...

Bootloader okay... (phew)

Then give it a go, at least you can get into download/recovery mode

Hmm, I might look into getting you a flashable stock recovery for 5830i... but don't rely on it :P

If this doesn't work you can try to install samsung kies. There are the drivers included, too

Purchased your phone today and already bricked it? Bravo :P
Well bro install Samsung Kies, it'll install all necessary drivers for you ( most of cases)
Then try ODIN and it'll recognize your device or go to samfirmware.com and you'll find everything of your need.
and you need to be very careful now on selecting anything for your device as its GT-s5830I not standard version GT-s5830. So must of the stuff will not work only S5830I things will work

I installed kies and the drivers but still doesnt recognize , but i installed other drivers than you posted so i'll give it a try and will let you know, you think i can still fix this problem? i thought it would be fixable cuz i can still enter recovery and download mod, thnx for the quick answer
