Hey guys,

My friend gave me his Ace (S5830) that he had managed to soft brick while trying to root it. He also wanted CM10.1 on it. I found tutorials online, and flashed what claimed to be a CWM recovery .tar and the OPC in Odin, so it now boots to how he had it before. However when I use any tool to boot into recovery, it soft bricks again, with the Samsung logo and web link, so I have to use Odin to fix it again. If I try power+menu on boot it just shows the logo and link, however taking the battery out lets it boot normally. Should I install a stock firmware from sammobile.com, or give up?

P.S. If stock restore, how?

He used ROM Manager to boot into recovery, but it didn't have one, so it was basically bricked.
