  • Shivamsharma21

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      No bro it will not avoid your warranty, it is from samfirmware.com don’t worry until you are with ‘ME’

  • Himzz_007

    how can we check its really gingrerbred beside its wriiten in settings but can we really diffrenciate fryo whats diffrent?

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      first thing my friends it is official (except this update is via pc) so no doubt on it.
      and main changes in gingerbread are speed,UI and security

  • Himzz_007

    can we expect that when samsung made it offcail like we can upgrade frm kies
    i ahve rooted but can i also update with kies too..

    and second will the camera can capture 720p hd video in the later upgradation??

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      No exact idea about OTA or KIES update launch from Samsung. but if you can take the risk of rooting than updating a firmware that is tested there is 0% risk. there are thousands of my blog readers already updated to 2.3.4 . i suggest go for it.

      and second answer is — may possible

  • Himzz_007

    and samsung touch 4.0

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      i think Samsung never will give us touchwiz 4.0 in middle handsets

  • Himzz_007

    and adobe flash supprot is still missing

    • El TiGrE

      I read in another forum that its support flash pages…

      • Petermossa

        El tigre, im from dr too and i need the original software or version of orange,can you please provide it.

  • El TiGrE

    Does this version need to root my device?? Im Asking because i had less than one week that i bought the cellphone and i don’t want to lose the warranty, I wanna be completely sure about this before upgrade it to Gingerbread

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      No need to root , totally secure but flash with care – i recommend to use full charged laptop or pc with UPS

      • El TiGrE

        And it doesnt matter that Im living in Dominican Republic and the firmware is for Europe?

        • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

          Region matters when you need another language , English user can use Europe firmware

          • El TiGrE

            Thank you, i hope everything runs OK… If it doesnt, at least it doesnt root my cellphone so the warranty cover it LOL

          • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

            it will run 100% OK. i don’t have exact idea my 10 thousand blog readers already update their ACE and working like a charm

          • El TiGrE

            Done… Works Very well… I just need the MMS configuration from my provider but i will ask for it tomorrow…

          • El

            if I need a chinese keyboard input, is it still ok to use the Europe firmware?

  • Josh Craigie

      Hi friend I am also planning to upgrade my ace. Can u tel me how much phone should be free to do that , and should i keep memory card or remove. Also tel me how much time does it take. How can i back up files and current firmware

      • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

        i recommend you to empty all phone memory , sd card doesn’t matter. updating process depends on pc configuration ( such as RAM, Processer,OS) but 1 hours on worstest PC
        and There is no way to backup without rooting

      • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

        There is no such as solution without rooting it ,but you can do this via method below -

        1. go to http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-s5830.htm (you need to register an account)
        2. and download your current firmware version(finding current version- go to settings>about )

  • Desmond_teoh

    What if an official update comes out? can we just update it like normally through the kies?

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      ya, you can update in future and warranty also remains ,take it like this—> it is an official update but not for public

  • Stomms

    When the official Gingerbread update will be available in EU?

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      Dont have exact idea but i will inform you as soon as possible when it arrives.

      do you face any problem with this update ? this update also use official firmware file but we have to do it via pc . many of my blog readers already updated and working very fine, you can see their comments above

  • himanshu

    i have rooted the phone as recommended and its running well 2.3.4 gingerbred but apps like rom maneger,wifi threter which work for rooted phones is not running msg arrives that phone is not rooted waht this i didn”t understand

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      i really don’t no what happened , many of peoples upgraded and rooted with this method and working like a charm.
      first go and grab root checker from here
      if it says it is not rooted than follow method again , i think you missed a step in guide

  • himanshu

    its agian says root access is not properly configuredor was not granted
    to root can i use superclickone androot or z4root???

  • Himzz_007

    its working smoothly just problem arises that the app which can we used after rooting is not working like rom manger etc their say phone is not root or access denied…..
    is that i still don”t have proper control over the os or i root from some other software

  • himanshu or himzz_007

    i was wondering about rooting that we are downloading samsung firmware so why samsung will give access to us…..its samsung firmware 2.3.4 so it i s not unrooted

    himanshu

  • himanshu or himzz_007

    hey kuldeep now root checker is showing that ur phone is rooted thanx i missed the step of coping that zip file into sd card thats why permisiion is dening with 2.3.4 also and i need a help that after rooting whats things can i done with respect to unroot phone
    i want to know can i overclock the processor and save itys memory by installing apps to sd card

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      i know it works. but your case forced me to think about it. okay click the link if you want to know why we must have rooted android

  • himanshu or himzz_007

    hiii
    i want to know is set cpu is a good app and can it overclock cpu of galaxy ace and to how much mhzzz

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      as my advise – don’t use it . my experience says company is not foolish , so they gave us CPU with slow configuration. manufacturers always provides best settings for hardware

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      1100-1200 MHz is enough

  • himanshu or himzz_007

    which is the good side for android themes

  • himanshu or himzz_007

    like we root our phone can we unroot it also
    if yes how?

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      yes , but for Galaxy Ace we need to flash it again with original firmware.

  • http://hugomzo.deviantart.com Hugo

    Is it possible for me to do this if I have a South American version of the Ace? (still Android 2.2.1)
    In case I don’t like the new firmware, where may I find the original one again?
    What improvements does this show once installed?
    Any known bugs so far?

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      Go to http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-s5830.htm (very trusted website ) . Register an account and download your desire firmware version. they have firmware files from 5 different regions
      - Europe.
      - Asia.
      - Turkish.
      - Arabic.
      - America / Australia.
      - Provider.

      and also lots of guides.

      and improvements in new firmwares are following-
      - good wi-fi stability
      - good speed
      - internet improvement
      - and some UI improvements

      don’t hesitate to go for this update ,i know thousands of peoples already updated their phone to android 2.3.4 using this guide and working very well .

            you have to download asia firmware , why you want to downgrade

          • http://www.facebook.com/moiz.alibhai Moiz Ali Bhai

            i am not sure but i believe i will be getting official version from samsung and this is the unofficial version .. but what is ur say on it? am i right? kies will be fully accessible with the official version?

          • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

            This is also untouched official firmware , but i am not sure that official update 2.3.3 will work on this 2.3.4 firmware , i think you have to stick with 2.3.4 firmware

          • http://www.facebook.com/moiz.alibhai Moiz Ali Bhai

            after going back to firmwire 2.2 then i can upgrade to the official version 2.3?

    Hey, i need some help FAST! :(

    I do everything as you say, step by step. But that Odin program stops responding at step 7 or 8, every time!

    what do i do now? :( please help, i just bought this phone…

    Tnx, and thank you for this nice tutorial!

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      Try to Run Odin as administrator
      I advise to use another PC

      OR

      Try this version –> http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3FU5KU98

      • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1217425826 Choice Mc

        Hey tnx for the fast responce! I transferred Odin and all other files to my laptop, and lucky me – the phone still cooperated and upgraded just fine! I love my phone even better now :D Kuldeep Singh – you are the man! :D

        I would only have one question – why is it that my WiFi isn’t working at home, but at work it works perfectly fine :/ should i change any home router settings? or is it just my phone’s fault? Cuz i’ve been hearing a lot about Ace’s WiFi problems. Any idea?

        Tnx man, you rock!

            No, when i press Connect, it either says Not In Range (i’m 2m from the router), or just Disconnected. And every few seconds it flashes “searching” for a moment and than back to “disconnected”. All other machines (PC’s and laptops) work fine…

          • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

            maybe it is a bug of this firmware, it is detecting different language in some phones, it worked for me and my friends

  • appy

    As you told me.. i searched for text and local.. and changed its language to english..

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      happy to hear that , it works

      • Borsanyi Zoltan

        • Borsanyi Zoltan

          • Borsanyi Zoltan

            i changed my mind :D but this firmware is for ace and i got gio :( can i still go with it?

          • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

            no , it is impossible to use Ace’s firmware with Gio

          • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

            no , it is impossible to use Ace’s firmware with Gio

          • Borsanyi Zoltan

            ok i updated my galaxy gio i found the firmware for gio … BUT IT’s FUCKIN LAGGY ;) why? :-? as if the touchscreen isn’t as responsive as before :|

          • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

            Because Gio has less RAM and hardware capabilities

          • Borsanyi Zoltan

            than why do they say it improves his features like allowing more ram to the user… graphics go better :) it is same as the Ace besides the cam… and can i downgrade? :P
            anyway thanx allot….

  • Borsanyi Zoltan

    ok last thing ! thanx for the great help :) and for your post on how to upgrade it :) it worked very good for me… the bigest problem i have now is that my phone won’t connect on WEP Wi-Fi… it didn’t when it hat froyo also… i red your tutorial for the wi-fi but it doesn’t help me at all :( … i can only connect to wpa :( what should i do ? if u help me with this last thing it would be great :) thanx in advance !

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      Buddy many users are facing this problem, i know only that you read in wi-fi tutorial. reason behind these problem is this update is not launched by company , it is not 100% stable ,so it giving some minor problems.

      & you can downgrade your Gio :)

      • Borsanyi Zoltan

        like i said… i had the same problem on froyo :) with the wi-fi …. and the froyo was stable 100%

        • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

          i never tried WEP i think it not supports WEP , like my PSP not supports WAP2

You rooted your Ace :)

        mr singh can u compare firmware 2.3.3 to 2.3.4? advatanges and disadvantages? thanks!

        • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

          firmware 2.3.4 is latest and still in Beta test , it is not 100% stable[ you will never feel that it is unstable , it may have some minor bugs ].
          2.3.3 is now officially launched and 100% stable . you can upgrade it via KIES.

          • eeyan

            does this mean that there is no difference at all only the launching and being official thingy? what does 2.3.4 features that 2.3.3 doesnt have? thanx.

          • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

            Better speed,performence and better internet

          • eeyan

            im just confuse if im going to downgrade my firmware or not.

          • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

            these are major bugs , minor bugs like -> internet disconnects sometime, wi-fi stucks on some connection. loading music player slowly etc etc. i advise you to enjoy 2.3.4

          its working. but i cant downgrade my galaxy ace to 2.3.3 after following your procedures it flashes a message in the screen saying ” the application setup wizard (process com.sec.android.ugl) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.”

          • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

            1. first hard reset your phone by dialing *2767*3855# (backup all your data)
            2. uninstall kies
            3. connect phone to kies and wait to finish driver install. it take few seconds to install drivers
            4. now disconnect phone , disable kies and antivirus
            5. run ODIN as admin

            follow the instruction again

          • eeyan

            in the 3rd step do i need to reinstall the kies and updated version of it? because now i dont have kies in my laptop.

          • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

            no prob download pc drivers for ACE and install on laptop

          • eeyan

            ok il try it now. il let u know the result if i were to downgrade my ace to 2.3.3

          • eeyan

            tried it but still the same. i noticed upon reboot of my galaxy ace it says “unable to access XTC thingy…..” maybe thats the reason why it flashes ” the application setup wizard (process com.sec.android.ugl) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.”

            if not works , download froyo 2.2.1 (stock firmware) form here

            and follow the tutorial above , all thing are same only files changed then run kies and update to official 2.3.3

          • derik

            i had the same problem. what i did was to flash the first 2.3.3 available then clear cache then flash the xpn. got the same warning so i just waited for odin to say pass then press the power button. when you get the chance to power off, do it. then open in recovery mode to clear cache and reboot device. now it is working already. the difference though is that instead of starting in russian, it started in spanish. kuldeep, would you know what the effect is on what i did?

      • eeyan

        Mr. Singh i need a reply please. my galaxy ace keeps shutting down a while ago. i guess it happened 2 times.

    • Killerbaris

      u must reset on recovery mode :)

  • Werewolfery

    Dude.. it totaly worked perfectly.. at first it had a few problems but i realised that its just cause its setting itself up… so if you have troublke downloading from the store.. just disconect and try again.. after that it worked flawlessley… great job thanks again…any hope of android 3 lol

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      no idea about android 3 , who knows when android 3 will come for android OR maybe not. but i am sure official android 2.3.4,leaked 2.3.5 is coming soon

  • Ashique Zakariyya

    Get original Official Update through kies

    Check the thread, i found it in a forum of OSbuzzer

    http://www.osbuzzer.com/f7/when-i-get-official-gingerbread-update-my-galaxy-ace-146/

    Thanx all

  • Debbiejj_1991_cdp

    tnkx only the language is not perfect but it works

  • eeyan

    my build number is GINGERBREAD.XXKPH its different from your screenshot above which is build number CODEROM.v1b

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      it is just a screenshot by a developer :)

      • eeyan

        just wondering. this is also a benefit for those who don’t understand that language, after installing the 2.3.4 firmware u will see a different language flashing in your screen its like u need to check or uncheck to proceed in starting up your ace, the only word i understand is Google.. what does it mean?

        • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

          it is asking for enter Google account info :) , only some peoples faced this problem . for me it boots in english

        • Werewolfery

          mine also booted in russian but i remeberd that its the same screen as first time i booted in english so i just clicked the cancel or no button.. then despite the language i just found the icon for settings and from there managed to get the language to english… But i admit for a moment i did think wtf.. so just dont panic just use your icons as they stay the same

          • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

            you are right , dont panic with little probs just stay there and use comman sense

  • Rishikesh

    Hi Kuldeep,
    20 Days back, I had upgraded my Galaxy Ace to 2.3.4 as per your instructions. And I also enjoyed the update. But I just saw in your post below about the official GB update, i.e 2.3.3.

    And I downloaded the files from the link provided by you. But this file does not contain the files which were present in 2.3.4 pack. In this RAR archive, there is another TAR file.

    Can you please explain how can I update to the official GB firmware. As kies doesnt detect my firmware version now. Just FYI, I am from India.
    Thanks in advance.

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      Tick all the options in the “Option” Field that are “One package”, “Auto Reboot” and “Protest OPS”.

      click on OPS and select Cooper_v1.0.ops
      click on One Package and select S5830XWKPN_S5830XWKP6_S5830OXXKP7_HOME.tar

      • Rishikesh

        Is the Cooper_v1.0.ops the same file as in the 2.3.4 pack? Because there is no such file in the official 2.3.3. There is only a .tar file.

        • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1217425826 Choice Mc

          Cooper_v1.0 is the same. When flashin just pick One Package, choose the *.tar file (bottom), choose Cooper_v1.0 (Top) and press Start :)

          The *.tar file looks like a *.zip or *.rar file, it is all the files you need to flash you phone in one file, Odin then does all the rest of the work by itself :)

    • eeyan

      rishikesh please tell me if u successfully downgraded your firmware from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3 without problems. or u also encounter the “please try again” thingy. thanks!

      • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

        eeyan don’t get panic , WMV format doesn’t supported by android phones (i googled it)

        & camera bug –>go to camera settings and set lower resolution than current

        • eeyan

          thnx mr. singh for the converter. but for camera bug its like the zooming in is not working during taking picture and the message view (gloss,memo etc…) is gone. anyways asking how to edit your message alert or something, is allowed here?

          • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

            “anyways asking how to edit your message alert or something, is allowed here? ” i didnt understand what you want to ask :(

          • eeyan

            asking not related to firmware is allowed here? like how to change your notification ringtone or somthing.. :)

      • Rishikesh

        Yes.. Even I am getting the same error! “Sorry! The application Setup Wizard (Process com.sec.android.ugl) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.” Mr. Kuldip please help!! Thanks

        • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1217425826 Choice Mc

          You have to Reflash or use another firmware. I got that Error when i was flashing with a One Package firmware in Odin.

          • Rishikesh

            I tried reflashing several times.. but to no avail.. I think the official update is not made for us :( (back to 2.3.4)

          • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

            buddy i don’t know why it is not working , maybe it is not like 2.3.4 [open Europe firmware]

          • Rishikesh

            Yup.. Maybe.. But not an issue.. I would wait for it.. And thanks kuldeep.. you are doing a great job.. By enabling noobs like us to enjoy the future in the present :)

          • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

            thanx , i really want to help millions of android fans to use it at its best. no matters how i helps :p

    • Sudheer Rao

      Oops, i mean the other way. how to move from Phone to SD card?

      • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

        use app2sd application

      • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1217425826 Choice Mc

        Or you can root your phone and use Titanium Backup to move your apps and/or user data to your SD :)

  • zhaoyun26

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      yes you have to reflash to downgrade, wi fi problems can be solved here http://androidflip.com/how-to-solve-android-wifi-problems-quick-simple-steps/

      • zhaoyun26

        to reflash meaning to do the steps using the odin thingy and the nided firmware? … if that’s the way looks like im okey, its just like doing CFW for my ps3 3.55

        • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

          reflash mean , flash original froyo firmware to go back , method is same only update file is changed , here it is http://www.multiupload.com/TOUVCGVX6F

        • zhaoyun26

          ah thx, but i check my PDA vers. from SAMfirmware, looks like its not asia, but i bought here, its region like france, germany, not even one from asia, i think this is a europe or american…

          • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

            stay on 2.3.4 , for removing any type of bug factory reset your phone

          • zhaoyun26

            looks like its not sure if im about to go back to vers 2.2.1, luckily all is well… i hope ^^

  • Maheshghote

    is it safe to upgrade the phone with an unofficial ver. ????????

      its safe to upgrade, you can see comments all my blog readers saying – it works.

      • Bondx99

        Hey kuldeep..when will be official gingerbread update be available in india as its already released in Russia or poland?..Should i wait for it or shoulld i go for this update..which is better??

        • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

          if you are brave and cant wait then go for this update or wait al least 2 weeks for 2.3.4

          • Bondx99

            ofcoz ill wait then..i cannot risk flushing down my 2 months salary save for that..thanks for the reply but :)

      If you follow Kuldeep’s tutorial, it’s perfectly safe. If you go updating on your own, i cannot guarantee you it’s safe :)

      But never forget – you do this on your own risk!

      I did it and it is perfectly safe and working nice! :)

  • Rohit_27985

    Hi, i tried clearing the cache data but after booting in recovery mode the only option i get on the screen is RAMDUMP mode(ARM9 mode). I see no other option even when i press the vol up down key. Is there any other option to clear the cache data and also how do i remove the pre installed applications which came with this version?

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      i dont know what happened , try to reset your phone. to remove default apps you have to root it

      • Abavistergould

        The instructions for entering recovery mode are wrong (hence the erro Rohit_27985 has). Recovery mode = home+power (not volume up).

        • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

          I think i am a biggest fool on this earth , i wrote wrong in guide . actually volume up is for galaxy s not for ace , sorry i edited it .

    I followed the instructions and 2.3.4 was installed without any problems. Accept 1 challenge: the lanquage was set to Russian. But by downloading the manual for the ACE and following the steps I could reset it to the required lanquage. Immediate Noticable improvements: speed and duration battery. Thanks for the excellent walkthrough explanation.

    Do someone of you have troubles with fixing gps?

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1217425826 Choice Mc

      None. I haven’t heard of anyone running Android 2.3.4 and having GPS problems. Check your settings or contact provider :)

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1189831701 Jens Larsen

      Me, and many blogs are full of complaints about non performing GPS chipset after update. There is NO provided of GPS data, although the US military gives free access to readings from their system, which at any time can be blocked in case its needed.

  • bewoks

    i followed all your step for upgrading and now i’m using rooted 2.3.4 gingerbread. i have read comments in some forum that flash 10.1 cant be installed in ace but it work for mine and i can watch videos from youtube by using only the default browser. just want to know, does it mean that my ace now support flash?can i install flash [email protected]?

  • Jhustified

    I got this “Bewark” – some sort of a russian or turkish app. how do i remove this? I got this app after upgrading to 2.3.4 – thanks kuldeep!

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1217425826 Choice Mc

      Root your phone, than install Titanium Backup from market. Run Titanium, press menu key in Titanium, run Batch, scroll down and find Uninstall all apps (written RUN in yellow), deselect all, find Bewark, mark/select, press run batch operation. Done :)

      • Mathewebby

        Thanks, successfully removed Bewank and also a few other unnecessary apps.

    hi…ive noticed its lagging if im scrolling into a popup screen. like scrolling to choose a widget.. can this be fix?? thanx,

      dis is my problem also… its laggy….

      • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1217425826 Choice Mc

        When flashing/upgrading to another rom or higher version, it is reccomended that you first wipe cache in Recovery, and also run Factory reset from Recovery, and than upgrade ROM. If you do this, you should have no lagg :)

        • kitoy

          how to upgrade my ROM? thanks for d reply sir

            Please describe more , i didnt get you

  • sbombaywala

    Hey kuldeep,
    i am planning to buy ACE but i am confused about the memory..
    if i install or move a game/app to memory card; will it run on my device normally?
    moreover can swype input is possible in ACE via any app?

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1217425826 Choice Mc

      Kuldepp, i got this buddy :)

      If you’re buying Ace, don’t be confused. It supports almost any game for Android, even some HD games and Gameloft games, which some say it can’t. It’s 800MHz processor is not as bad as whey say, and has enough memory. It supports MicroSD up to 32GB ;)

      You can install game/app on SD only if you rooted your phone. If so, than it should run normally, there is no reason it shouldn’t :)

      As far as your question about Swype is concerned – i didn’t understand your question at all :/

      Happy gaming! ;)

      • sbombaywala

        thanks for the info..
        i was wondering whether there is swype support in ACE or not but its there according to websites.
        i will be rooting my ACE after few months of buying it..
        hope to have your support in future…
        thanks again

        • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1217425826 Choice Mc

          Oh you mean that… Yes, ofcourse it has Swype support :) And it works very fine!

          I rooted and upgraded my Ace the first day that i bought it ^.^ I just didn’t like 2.1 Froyo…

          And as far as our help goes, we will always be here for you if you have any questions of problems! :)

          Enjoy!

  • sana fatima

    Hello,

    I have Samsung Galaxy ACE arabic version. It is running android 2.2.
    I have many in-built application in it like HOLY QURAN, THINK FREE OFFICE(Full version).

    My question is if i update the version to andriod 2.3.4 then will i have a the same applications like in my case Full version of THINK FREE OFFICE.

    Thanks
    Sana

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1217425826 Choice Mc

      Hey there pal :)

      You first have to ROOT your phone, than install Titanium Backup (this is not PRO version, you can buy it or find full PRO version somewhere else), and than make backup of all applications and/or system data. on MicroSD card. That you can upgrade phone with no worries, angain install Titanium, and restore backups. But when upgrading to higher version of Android, it’s best not to backup system data becouse it can be slightly different than in the previous version. So just backup/restore your apps, and that check system data and/or settings again :)

      Hope this helps! Happy flashing ;)

    hey i have just upgrade my firmware the thing is now i cant add a goggle account
    how can u solve this problem ..
    or is it that i did something wrong when upgrading it

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1217425826 Choice Mc

      There should be no problem adding Google accounts after upgrading. Did you wipe Calvik cache and do Factory reset in recovery before flashing?

      Do you get a following error:

      Error: “Can’t establish a reliable data connection to the server”?

      If you did not setup your google account when you first boot up your phone, you will repeatedly get this error. To solve this problem, do the following…

      1. Hard reset your phone. You will lose all information that is currently on your phone when you do this. Select Settings -> Security -> Factory Data Reset
      2. Once the phone reboots, input your google account information when the phone asks for it.

      3. If you are still having problems, you can try the YouTube Connection Trick:
      a. Add YouTube app and login with gmail account
      b. Go into Gmail App and add account if needed.
      c. Sign into Gmail account wither username and password
      d. Go through login process

      It took about 15 mins to me , maybe different for your pc . keep in mind just wait until it completes never disconnect

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1217425826 Choice Mc

      It took me 5:16 :) Just wait… But if you are willing to risk bricking your phone, than disconnect, and restart PC. When you restart PC, make sure Kies is NOT RUNNING, and you have proper drivers installed. Than run Odin, load all files, connect phone, try again. If you still having problems, try on different PC or laptop.

      Sounds good , if you faced any problem in future . remeber me i am here to help you and always will be.

      Tip : clear cache of your phone (boot in recovery and select wipe cache) , to get more speed on Gingerbread

      • slazer

        ok.done..so do i need to wipe data/factory reset also?

        • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

          yes you need to wipe data

  • Usama9

    @Kuldeep I want to ask u that is there any problem with ace’s wifi…something known as SOD…mobile switch off automatically…..how to get this solved???

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      First clear the cache and follow this article for wi-fi fixing

      How to Solve Android Wi-Fi Problems

      • Usama9

        And solution to Sod…..when the mobile switches off auto matically..??

        • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1217425826 Choice Mc

          All ROMs 2.3.x or above have the SoD problem. There is curently no solution. Ussualy SoD apears when you’re connected to a key-locked (maybe PSK protected) WiFi network, and than go out of it’s reach to an another key-locked network.

          The only solution to this is to turn WiFi off when you don’t need it…. If this is the cause of the problem :)

  • slazer

    why my SGA cannot receive mms??before upgrade into gingerbread,my SGA also can receive mms.do u know the solution?

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1217425826 Choice Mc

      You have to call your mobile network provider, and tell them to send you the MMS Settings. It takes only 1 minute, you recieve the Settings SMS, press install and it’s done. Or you can set them manually but it’s complicated :)

      • slazer

        but i already configurate it.but still cannot receive mms.so i dont know what is the real problem..maybe my mobile operator have problem??

  • Jeff_MY

    Hi Kuldeep Singh,

    I’ve successfully flashed my Ace to 2.3.4 ,
    However, all the apps that i previously store in SD CARD are now unable to launched.

    What should i do to solve this problem?
    Hope not to format SD CARD and re-download everything… =(

  • http://www.facebook.com/moiz.alibhai Moiz Ali Bhai

    Kuldeep i have clear the cache and restore factory default settings but still my goes off automatically and take around 10 to 20 seconds to restart …. sometimes it restart and when i lock my keypad the time screen light goes off my cell powered off automatically sometimes … what is the solution to it? what should i do now?

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      Strange

  • Mathewebby

    Just noticed a small difference with the one touch dialling. Earlier we could tap the number followed by the call button to dial. This procedure now send a ussd request which returns a failure. To dial we need to press and hold the requisite number.

    Hello

    I have Flashed my samsung galaxy ace to android 2.3.4 and everything seemed to work without issues, then i started having issues with my wifi , everytime I tried to turn it on from quick access button it didn’t do anything, so I tried from settings, wireless and networks , wifi settings and when i pressed on wifi it kept saying error, the only way to get it to work for a while is applying a code from the numpad or by turning off and then on the phone, so I decided to reflash it again since I thought something might have gone wrong but the issue persist, is there a way to fix this other than downloading fix my wifi?

    Thanks

    Kuldeep, Great tute, well done! Too all concerned Ace owners: Follow the steps carefully and it works, and it is good!! Note: (and I thought i read ALL the comments, and saw NO mention of this) After my update was complete my phone language changed to Russian (i think). After (a bit of panicking) some searching I found the solution. 1. From main screen, click on (bottom right) MENU button. 2. Click on Round Cog (Settings) button. 3. Scroll down to icon with an ‘A’ (this is Locale and Text). 3. Click on the TOP option (this is select language). 4. Find your preferred language. Done!

    Hi Kuldeep,
    I bought new galaxy ace s5830 a week ago and i am thinking to update to 2.3.4 and i need some advice.

    1: I would like to backup my present firmware(in case if some thing goes wrong or i want to downgrade in future).point me to some tutorial for this( i am in India and i am fine with English language)

    2: Do i need to uninstall all apps in phone memory(only 10MB of internal memory is free at present).

    3: After upgrade i would like to move all apps to sd like googlemaps ,samsung apps , gmail,voice search ,youtube etc..which will be in phone memory by default.

    4: i am planning to update for 2.3.4 do you suggest this update or any less stable version.

    i will be using packet data, wifi,android market very frequently.

    Please suggest me detailed steps or pointers towards it.

    Any other precautions to take care before updating.

    Thanks for the help in advance…

      • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

        2nd one is best , i am writing some explained tutorials for you wait some time before upgrading

        • Shadow438

          ok sure , i will wait. Thank You :)

          • Shadow438

            do i need to root my phone in 2.2.1 to update to 2.3.4 ? or simply i can follow above tutorial

          • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

            No need to root , just install :)

          • Shadow438

            Installed 2.3.4 . Initially showed some other language( i think Russian), changed it to English.

            Every thing working fine as of now.
            WIFI—>good
            Bluetooth–>good
            packet data–>good
            browsing–>good

            For some apps its unable to launch first time
            when we try couple of times they are working.

            First time its not able to format my 16GB memory card,formatted with sdformatter and tried again, its worked( don’t know problem with this version or from card at that time).

            Will test this version further,if i face any issues will update here.

            Rooting guide also worked well,used titanium backup and uninstalled custom apps also.

            Thank You Kuldeep singh for Tutorial.

            Thanks for the tutorial…

  • Mrelic

    Hello Kuldeep Singh… I did everything you’ve said and everything works great!

    Only one thing that annoys me is preinstalled Russian program called ВЕШАЛКА, is there ANY WAY to delete that icon or program?

    Thank you in advance :)
    Marko.

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      To delete this app you need root permissions

      • Mrelic

        How can I do that? Can you give me some link with instructions?

        • Mrelic

          I mean I rooted my phone but still dont know how to delete some applications I do not need…

          Thank you.

          • Mrelic

            Sorry Kuldeep… Found the solution :)

            Thanx for everything…

  • Mathurpalash

    i just need to know 2 things.
    1.- How to go back to my default firmware? i.e. S5830DDKC1
    2.My mobile is already rooted is safe to go for this firmware,cos a friend of mine told me that u (i) can load firmware from the creator of that rooting programmer
    or atleast updating with official Samsung Firmware will definatly brick ur phone.

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      Maybe he is right , which method do you used to root ??

      and why you want default firmware ? Downgrading may cause problems

      • Mathurpalash

        I rooted using SuperOneClick
        and i wanted the method of reverting back to my current default firmware just in case the update provided in this article doesn’t suite me or gives stability issues.

  • Mrelic

    After update and rooting, is it possible to rename icons in application drawer?

    Thank you.

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      Yes it is possible

      1. Root your phone and then using a Root Explorer rename the App.

      OR

      2. You can also Use an alternative Home App. e.g Launcher Pro
      In Launcher Pro You have to go to
      Menu>Preferences>General>Hide Apps

      • Mrelic

        Thank you :)

        • Mrelic

          I have installed Root Explorer, but can’t see non system applications which ones I would like to rename. There must be a step that I am missing.

          Thank you for assistance.

  • Mathurpalash

    I updated my phone to 2.3.4 evrything went fine.
    Now the problem i’m facing is that, the APN shown in the APN menu is of some (Reliance)other operator rather than of (DOCOMO)SIM (which i was using before and after the upgraded) AND IT WAS WORKING JUST FINE 4 UPGRD
    If i edit THIS NEW RELIANCE’S APN its not getting modified
    If i delete -it gets deleted but when i create NEW APN that doesn’t gets saved,(there will be NO APN then )
    And if i restore the APN then again Reliance’s APN will come.

    Hi, Thanks for your post. I upgraded my ACE with 2.3.4 and it is working fine with lots of benefits as mentioned by lot of guys over here. However, I found one issue. Samsung Hub/Email version was not latest. So I downloaded it from other site, I guess SamFirmWare and installed it. But this app although works for me functionally, but gives some error and needs to be force closed at least twice in a day. Any solution for this??

    Hi guys ive recently bought a Galaxy Ace. It WAS locked to “3″ network in UK. Ive used an unlock code and i now have a different sim in the phone which works fine. Its currently on 2.2.1 firmware and still has the “3″ branding,apps,start-up logo etc. I want to Update to the latest 2.3.4 Gingerbread and de-brand the phone but after reading a few posts im wary of updating as i dont want to brick my phone. Please guide me to the correct tutorial to upgrade my phone as to not brick my phone. I can follow instructions no problem i have some experience with jailbreaking iphones i just need the correct guide. My current phone settings are as follows :

    Model GT-S5830.
    Andriod Version 2.2.1
    Baseband S5830NEKA3
    Kernel 2.6.32.9-perf root@SE-S608 #1
    Build FROYO.XWKAB

    If its worth me rooting my phone then im happy to do this also with the correct guide.
    Thank You in advance :)

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      Okay Mikey

      First we need to debrand your phone , otherwise you cant do anything . I will give you step by step instruction if i found it working.

      Catch me on Facebook otherwise i will catch you , huh :)

    Still looking for an answer on this issue, could anyone please give a hint.

    I brought a GT-S5830T (THAILAND) Cooper. It was loaded with the stockfirmware 2.2.1 displaying COPPER at startup. I used odin 4.38 and updated to 2.3.4. No problems it worked flawless until I tested the GPS….nada, non, no, nein didn’t work at all.

    Back to 2.3.3 countless versions, other 2.3.4, all versions of 2.2.1 I can do it in sleep now.

    Since then I have used countless hours to go back on the stockfirmware 2.2.1 DX (Thailand) which can be done, but the initscreen doesn’t display Cooper. I know I didn’t break the warranty, but I want to be able to bring back the phone with the COOPER logo to get a replacement….

    How to do this….and yes GPS have test with hundreds of test software. It’s there, but it doesn’t send any data back….If there is a solution on this, I got very big ears, otherwise as requested some help on how to bring back Cooper on 2.2.1 so I can throw the device back to salesclerk.

    • http://androidflip.com Kuldeep Singh

      Your phone came with copper mobile operator ,
      After upgrading now you want to revert back old firmware

      Right ?
      if yes then

      First thing i want to tell you network locked phone are not supported by this update it is only for unlocked International GSM phone. You have flashed it and now facing some issues , it is your good luck that your phone still working otherwise in most cases network locked phones didn’t boot.
      It seems a very complicated problem , but i will try to get out of you from this :)

      • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1189831701 Jens Larsen

        Hi Kuldeep,

        thanks for posting. No, my phone wasn’t operator locked. No phones sold in Thailand are locked. I have use/used AIS (Thailand largest owned by Singapore), and DTAC (Telenor) and my Danish Sim. All worked fine before the update. It’s only the init screen that displayed Samsung GT – S5830T Cooper, that now displays GT-S5830 Ace

        The GPS still doesn’t sends any data, but the chipset is there as its found by hardware tests, and I can upload data to the A GPS, but no data comes back.

        Thanks in advance

        PS I did read your blogs, so I knew a locked phone could be a problem, but thats not the case.

        • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1189831701 Jens Larsen

          Hi again Kuldeep,

          Got a new phone. Took it to Samsung Customer Service Center and got an exchange….

          Here are the information from about phone

          OS 2.2.1
          BB S5830TDXKD1
          KV 2.6-32.9-perf
          root@DELL106#1
          BN FROYO.DXKD3

          and from Keis

          Current FW

          PDA:KD3 / PHONE : KD1 / CSC :KD2 (THL)

          Latest FW

          PDA:KD3 / PHONE : KD1 / CSC :KD2 (THL)

          Hope it will as Samsung HQ says the firmware is not available to download if one needs to go back…

          It also displays Cooper on the startscreen. Further I would like to update. I need to be sure it use the correct frequencies.

          They are as follows

          3G 850 and 2100
          GSM 850,900,1800,2100

          Thanks in advance…

          PS I don’t need Thai language, but Scandinavian and US will be fine….

    My network have 3G and HSDPA….i live in Sri lanka But I don’t get the signals. I only get GPRS and EDGE.

    My phone is running Ginger Bread 2.3.4. Model is GT-S5830L

    Things I’ve tried…

    1. In the phone information section(*#*#4636#*#*) where to select preferred network type, its always selected GSM only. although I set it to other, it changes back again to GSM only after some time.

    2. I set the netowrk band selection to automatic.

    3. In my old nokia, I remember it showed me my networks 3g network and normal one both of my carrier. But in my Ace I see only one. Though I selected my carrier manually It still only works EDGE/GPRS

    Please help me…..

      Want to upgrade your Samsung Ace to gingerbread 2.3.4 (DDKQ6)….Don’t look for any other method….JUST Go to the nearest Samsung Mobile Service Centre……they will upgrade your Ace in 1hr for free…..it is the safest way to upgrade your Ace……Don’t upgrade ur phone on Kies…..it is risky as your phone can get stuck……can hang or can brick…..so better to go to service centre….and enjoy the buttersmooth ACE…

    well first i want to say thanks a lot Corinthians Roman,it totally work now i 2.3.4 .just a few thing that was to add is that in ODIN the box next to reset time(sec)its 300 and ur pic is showing 200.had a little issue with usb installer but i think it just my laptop got problem.and last of all is that after i finish the update it was in Russain so that was a …..scary joke.and for those who don’t know how to change back got to setting(metal gear symbol)>scroll down to a key picture of a “A…”>go in to the first option and scroll down to english.apart from that every went a ok .thanks alot dude

    the only problem is that when you upgrade the firmware it will totally wipe out all stored in the phone book and there was no back menu

    Hi Kuldeep

    Many users of samsung galaxy ace are facing problems with dialer as it works extremely slow while dialling or disconnecting the call. We have tried to kill the tasks, clear cache & all other relevant techniques to boost up the memory but the problem still persists. Is there a problem with Andriod 2.3.4 firmware or anything else is required to solve this problem. When we reboot the phone then it works fine but for limited time only. there are no additional softwares, themes or heavy files in my phone. Kindly suggest
