[TUTIRIAL] How tooos? { Error Mounting /data! }

---

Redesigning this week with all ace i stuff and ques/ans along with every thing u need to know. Just wait for some time. \m/

3. INFO and Q/A -

• Q: Ace 5830 i/M/C ?
• As per my search almost every thing is same. They just point to shipping continents. i / M / C. The i is made ​​to Spain and countries in Asia. 's M apparently Chile and some Latin American countries. The C is for Brazil. So, U can flash all the roms and use unbrick tutorial on your phone
  
  
• PDA, Phone and CSC.
  • PDA == build version of the firmware
  • Phone == baseband / modem version
  • CSC == consumer software customization and it is specified to geographical region and carriers. CSC contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS for your service provider. And you can change CSC if you have Multi CSC packages.
    
  • ####Note –Changing this will factory reset your phone. Do backup before perform this task.
  
  
• How to change CSC?
  
  • Just type *#272*Device IMEI# at Phone dial pad. For IMEI type *#06#.
  • Select the CSC that you want.
  • Click Install.
  • Phone will be rebooted by itself.
  • ####Note –Changing this will factory reset your phone. Do backup before perform this task.
  • ####Note – CSC can sometime be corrupt. It may lead to infinite loop. Reason unkown.
  
  
• Q: Flashing any firmware to my phone will erase the network lock?
• A: NO. The network (or SIM) lock still remain active. By flashing firmware you can't deactivate the lock. It's stored elsewhere.
  
  
• Q: Flashing an operator specific firmware will restrict my open phone to that operator's network?
• A: NO. Your phone still remain open for any SIM. Operator specific builds usually containing "only" bloatwares, wallpapers and/or browser settings, etc...
  
  
• Q: Is it possible to update the PDA or MODEM only?
• A: Yes, You can update any one component independently if you have a good reason for, but remember: recommended to have consistent components
  
  
  
• Q: Where is the bootloader tar and pit file when extracted .tar file?
• A: those are not used for a Kies like update. You can find .pit in odin attachment above and bootloader in other S5360i firmware bundles like the one mentioned in unbrick tutorial and use if you really need it, but not necessarily needed for flashing
  
  
• Q: Do I need to tick repartition?
• A: NO! Leave all check-boxes as default!
  
  
• Q: Really??? Do not tick repartition?
• A: REALLY, I told You! Leave it unticked!!! ...And leave bootloader empty as well! COPY THAT?!?!?!
  
  
• Q: Kies says "cannot update this firmware" after flashing rom?
• A: No one gives **** what kies says..... Well kies sks. Odin works well. We dont need kies. My guess is due to change in CSC... !
  

3. How to Unbrick Ace 5830i / How to use odin -

• Things you need:
  1. Samsung Drivers (link)
  2. Odin with pit.zip (Download)
  3. Firmware package - It is samsung original OS that will be flashed using odin. These firmware are available on sammobile.com (a single file) but they cant be directly flashed using odin. So we have to make them flashable using odin You can get it in two ways:
     
     
     1. Firmware repacked by me -
        • These are the firmware that have been repacked by me and can be directly flashed using odin.
        • Choose the Country and download the zipped file. Unzip it and watch the unbrick video down below.
        • If firmware for your country is not available use open australia or go to 2 and learn how i created these repacks.
          
          
          
        
        
     2. Learn and make your own repack -
        • Providing package for every ace i of different countries is very difficult so you have to do some work.
        • Go to "Flashing ORIGINAL Samsung Firmware/ Going back to Stack Rom" down below tutorial to learn how to make a Repacked package yourself just like one i created above.
        • Using tutorial "Flashing ORIGINAL Samsung Firmware/ Going back to Stack Rom", 3 files CSC, modem and PDA will be extraced.
        • An additional file Bootloader (link) is requires with other 3. It has been attached below.
          
        • So, Simply first watch the "Flashing ORIGINAL Samsung Firmware/ Going back to Stack Rom" tutorial first, get the files and get to this tutorial after that.
     
     
     
  4. [Watch Video Tutorial Down below ]
  5. ###Note - Diver problem - (Link)
     
     
  6. 
     
  
  
  
• To restore Samsung recover as default recover... follow the above unbrick tutorial. What this means is that u suppose your phone is brick and you want to unbrick... So just follow above tutorial and every thing will be normal as it was .

3. Flashing ORIGINAL Samsung Firmware/ Going back to Stack Rom -

I was asked by no of users to provide them original frameworks for their ace i.......Doing so for different frameworks id just impossible for me to upload. So for all those who want to go back to the original framework just follow the tutorial.

By flashing an improper firmware pack you may potentially risk the health of your phone. Do it on your own risk only!
I won't take responsibility of any damage done to your phone.

So, lets begin by things you will need:

• Check Fus Downloader - (LINK) "not working as of 23/12/2012. Download tar file from sammobile.com. Search ur mobile."
• SplitFUS - (LINK) # Download GUI version.
• Cygwin - (LINK)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Downloading .tar file for your phone

You can download .tar country framework single file by two ways :

• From http://www.sammobile.com/ directly. Find your country latest file and download.
• By using Check Fus Downloader - Watch video below

2. Extract files from .tar and flash via odin

Also, please don't post direct links. It would be best to direct the readers to the ROM's thread. If the ROM doesn't have one, it shouldn't be listed since it's not tested.
