How to flash Samsung Galaxy Ace?
Many smartphone owners are faced with the need to flash their phone. The firmware is performed in order to update (change) the old one software to a newer one or if you have any serious problems with the operating system installed on your smartphone. In this article we will tell you how to flash a Samsung galaxy ace using detailed instructions.
Firmware instructions
Attention! Before installing new firmware, make sure your phone battery is at least half charged.
First of all, decide on the type of firmware you want to install. For users samsung smartphones galaxy ace has the ability to install official firmware from Samsung or unofficial firmware on your phone Cyanogenmod firmware 11, OmniROM and AOKP. Below are instructions for installing the official firmware:
- Download and install the Samsung Kies program on your computer.
- Connect your smartphone to your computer using a USB cable.
- Create a system backup.
- Launch the Kies program. The program itself will offer options for firmware suitable for your device. Select the firmware you need and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Reset your device before using the new software.
- Also, the official firmware can be installed using FOTA technology - “firmware over the air”, connecting to wi-fi networks. To do this: connect to a wi-fi network; create a system backup; From your phone, go to Menu - Settings - About device - Software update - Update and follow the instructions on the screen; Reset your device before using the new software.
The principles for performing firmware from other developers are the same, with the only difference being that you will have to separately download programs to create backup copy systems, a program for flashing smartphones (for example,
The Samsung Galaxy Ace (S5830) phone looks very much like an iPhone. The similarity is immediately apparent, although up close it turns out that the identity is not complete - the cheap plastic body spoils the whole impression as soon as you pick up the phone. A high-quality 3.5-inch screen, a 5 megapixel camera and 512 MB of RAM coexist in this wonderful device with an outdated 832 MHz processor. Firmware updates from the manufacturer have traditionally silently ended with Android 2.3, while the prolific Google company I managed to throw 4.0.4, 4.1.2 and 4.2 into free swimming. So the owners of a wonderful phone found themselves left out of updates, unable to enjoy the glitches new version systems from a well-known corporation. We will make the impossible possible by describing the process of unofficially updating your phone's software to CyanogenMod 10, which, in turn, is based on Android 4.1. The benefits of installing an assembly are vast and numerous. In addition to the beautiful numbers in the phone settings and a new, slightly nicer interface, the firmware adds wonderful items in the settings, such as controlling the processor frequency, optimizing all the beauties of the interface, improving the response speed of the device and a nice robot when loading the device. Naturally, the programs installed on the phone work no worse than on official firmware, and the stable behavior of the device is not overshadowed by surprises. We will install the firmware from the development team Jellaxy, whose work is truly impressive. Especially if you remember that Samsung swears that the S5830 smartphone latest versions operating system from Google will not work. Well, enthusiasts have proven the opposite, and we will use the experience of wonderful people who have developed an alternative and set the same for ourselves.
The beginning, as is usually the case with any firmware, begins with installing a well-proven alternative bootloader CWM. This program creates a boot menu for those who like to tinker with the device’s firmware, and helps make the process easier and more efficient. Let's take it ClockWorkMod recovery prepared for our phone, here: ( http://yadi.sk/d/SjQwpDrC1XX4y), firmware ( http://yadi.sk/d/dk8rVjrD1XY5i) and lightweight Google services(specially trimmed to reduce queries): http://yadi.sk/d/XIcEannt1XYB2. Transfer these archives to a memory card, preferably a clean one. No need to unpack! For the installation to begin, you need to reboot the device into “native” recovery. Press the power button on the device when it is turned off, while simultaneously pressing the touch button with the house. After a couple of seconds you will see on the screen text menu, where look for the item apply update from sd card. Select it using the sound keys and confirm your choice with the house button. In the program window, look for your archive (the name contains the word recovery), confirm your deliberate decision to add our flashing assistant to your phone. will happen recovery update on CWM.
Turn off your phone again. Launch into recovery in the same way as before. In the updated menu, I am not very interested in the promising backup item. There, which is logical, choose backup again. This is how we create a copy of your installed system, this is useful for the inner peace of mind of a beginner and an experienced flasher - no matter what happens next, you can return everything back from the same point by selecting restore. Once you've created the much-needed copy, take a deep breath and get down to what really matters. The new firmware version will install normally only if everything unnecessary is removed from the phone. In other words, clear the device of old data almost completely. How to clean? In recovery, select the following menu items in order: wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik (in advanced). Go back using the “back” button on your phone, there is only one cleaning point left - in mount and storage, select unmount system, then format system. We left the phone, figuratively speaking, naked and barefoot. We hastily change him into new firmware. Look for the following among the text inscriptions: choose zip from sdcard. First, select the CM10 archive, wait until the phone reports the successful completion of the operation. Except Android systems 4.1, we are strongly recommended to install Google services as well. You can do without them and thereby save 60-70 MB random access memory, but the services are still useful - installing software from the market, synchronization, mail without them is unexpectedly difficult. Therefore, we are decisively setting up our third archive, with the words gapps in the title. We patiently wait for the end, select reboot and... observe the logo for 5-10 minutes. The first launch will be somewhat extended in time, because the new version of the system takes time to get comfortable.
If you didn’t miss anything from what was described, fast, beautiful firmware based on Android 4.1 will sparkle in front of you. Congratulations, all conditions have been met, you are in the new system.
