I'm currently on stock 2.3.3, so if I got it right, I should perform these steps:

- Db. Rooting for 2.3.x (NEW METHOD!)
- E. Flash Custom Recovery:
- F*. Flash Custom ROM:

And that's all?

hotfile down

hi

all the file hosting sites with the stock rom for my phone are down.

I have a S5830XWKS2 , Europe, Netherlands, and I look for the latest official firmware. I want to reset my phone to original state.

I searched a lot but couldn't find the file.

Can someone help out me with this?

after flashed (Db. Rooting for 2.3.x (NEW METHOD!)) universal_gb_root_v25.zip and then recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace (all saved at SD Card and rename update.zip as my gt-s5830 only detect this file name and cannot select other) at recovery mode.

The phone shown flash recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace is succeeded and can reboot to normal. But when tried to recovery mode by using home+power, the phone hang at the SAMSUNG logo and cannot boot into recovery mode anymore.

anyone had idea on this? THX

Hi bro, is your problem solved? Have you tried by using the adb command "adb reboot recovery"? Recently, I saw an ACE nougat 7.0 rom on youtube,
but it uses the cwm is v5.0.2.8. Unfortunately I can't found this version cwm, and don't know if using this v5.0.2.6 can be flash or not.......

    [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

    DOWNLOADS

    Thanks to GadgetCheck!

    A. Preparing your PC:
    1. Install .Net Framework 2.0
    2. Install Android SDK
    3. Download SDK Tools & Platform-tools in Android SDK
    4. Right click on Computer and select Properties
    5. Select Advanced System Settings then Advanced and Click the Environment Variables button.
    6. Click on the variable called 'Path' and then click on Edit. Now add the target directory to the value of the variable, using a semi-colon as a separator.
    7. Add system path to Android SDK and Android SDK Tools folders
      x86
      Code:
      C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk
      C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
      x64
      Code:
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
    8. Now your PC is ready!

    B. Preparing your phone (only for 2.2.x users! If you only want to root your phone, go to step D, if your phone don't have root skip this steps):

    3. Enable Debugging at Apliccations>Programming
    4. Connect your phone into PC via cable

      • 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
