Ok to cut a long story short I've had to send my HTC One back off for repair :( so it will be away for a week or so, so I still have a GT-S5380i that I was given from my dad as a spare, thought what the hell last night and decided to flash a custom rom to make it at least a little bit better than it is as stock. So I spotted Touchwiz-Resurrected ROM and followed the guide on how to root and install clockwork mod, which was fine then flashed the rom, that seemed to go fine until I noticed no data or cellular connection and someone said I've probably lost my imei, checked that and he was correct the IMEI was blank, so basically thought what the hell flash back a stock rom using odin, did that and all seemed well, odin reported success and rebooted to be stuck at the Samsung splash screen and that's as far as I can get, I can get into download mode but no matter which version of odin I use or which stock rom I try and flash I cannot get past the splash screen despite odin saying it succeeded, I can also still get into cwm but that seems to take ages?? done full wipes reinstalls blah blah but cant get it to boot

So obviously somewhere along the line I've messed up but the fact I can get into download mode and cwm made me think I could somehow get it back?

Any ideas?

Try installing any custom rom from CWM. Make sure to do "Wipe data/ factory reset", "Wipe cache partitions", "Mounts & Storage> Format /system" and "Advanced> Wipe Dalvik Cache" from CWM before you install the custom rom. Here is the list of all custom roms for Galaxy Ace S5830i,
