.hi…I am going to move to Galaxy Ace from my current phone (Samsung Champ Dous). This will be my first venture into Android, and actually I want to upgrade it to Android Gingerbread as soon as I have the Ace. But I am worried,
please answer this question of mine…thankz in advance.
please also reply directly to my facebook mail: [email protected]
I’ll be waiting for your response.
i have no arabic language in this ROM
Maybe it lacks many language packs, i always use English
Buddy this is not official launch for normal users , this ROM is only for Developers to Taste Gingerbread.
so enjoy it on English, official 2.3.4 will reveal soon
hi i have installed the gingerbread and it work well. my only problem is why is the network settings is missing something, particularly in the network settings , now it does not have the option to choose wcdma only
hi, i need gingerbread 2.3.4 for galaxy note nt7000
Official XXKPK is ready to rock and roll, Follow this guide to taste official Gingerbread
Install Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread XXKPK on Samsung Galaxy Mini
i have updated my galaxy ace to 2.3.4 when samsung officially annoces update for samsung ace to gingerbred would i will be able to pgrade my phone ofiically >??
Shivam, this is official update but we are updating our phone via PC . OTA (over the air ) not released yet and no-one has idea .
kuldeep does this update affects my phone wareenty?
No bro it will not avoid your warranty, it is from samfirmware.com don’t worry until you are with ‘ME’
pls ap muje ye bta sakte ho samsung galaxy ace may adobe flash player install hota hai ya nahi pls reply
how can we check its really gingrerbred beside its wriiten in settings but can we really diffrenciate fryo whats diffrent?
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
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??
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
and samsung touch 4.0
i think Samsung never will give us touchwiz 4.0 in middle handsets
and adobe flash supprot is still missing
I read in another forum that its support flash pages…
El tigre, im from dr too and i need the original software or version of orange,can you please provide it.
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
No need to root , totally secure but flash with care – i recommend to use full charged laptop or pc with UPS
And it doesnt matter that Im living in Dominican Republic and the firmware is for Europe?
Region matters when you need another language , English user can use Europe firmware
Thank you, i hope everything runs OK… If it doesnt, at least it doesnt root my cellphone so the warranty cover it LOL
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
Done… Works Very well… I just need the MMS configuration from my provider but i will ask for it tomorrow…
if I need a chinese keyboard input, is it still ok to use the Europe firmware?
when i download that file it comes as a media file, wot do i do, plz help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is a .rar file ,extract it and choose files as i told in tutorial

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
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
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 )
What if an official update comes out? can we just update it like normally through the kies?
ya, you can update in future and warranty also remains ,take it like this—> it is an official update but not for public
When the official Gingerbread update will be available in EU?
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
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
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
ya i have check from root chechker
root access is not properly configured or was not granted
standard su bin locATION
/SYSTEM/BIN/SU:NO SUCH FILE OR DIRECTORY

Ok dude…
i upgraded my ace to 2.3.4 but i facing some issue with package data connection…some time it doesn’t work properly when i use after using wifi….i need to restart the cell to solve this problem…is there any other way to solve this problem…
Kavish it is your mobile operator’s problem not of your phone .many of people send me e-mails that 2.3.4 update is really working perfectly, they also told me wi-fi and internet errors fixed after upgrading to android 2.3.4 ,really there is no problem in android 2.3.4 with internet
pls ap muje ye bta sakte ho samsung galaxy ace may adobe flash player install hota hai ya nahi pls reply
i have agian re installed the 2.3.4 gingerbred on my ace and check from root check agian
its agian says root access is not properly configuredor was not granted
to root can i use superclickone androot or z4root???
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
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
do you use this http://androidflip.com/rooting-guide-samsung-galaxy-ace-running-23-android-gingerbread/ ???
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
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
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
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
1100-1200 MHz is enough
which is the good side for android themes
like we root our phone can we unroot it also
if yes how?
yes , but for Galaxy Ace we need to flash it again with original firmware.
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?
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
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?
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
after going back to firmwire 2.2 then i can upgrade to the official version 2.3?
Download any asia firmware all in 2.2.1 froyo version
Download any asia firmware all in 2.2.1 froyo version

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!
Try to Run Odin as administrator
I advise to use another PC
OR
Try this version –> http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3FU5KU98
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
Kuldeep Singh – you are the man! 
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!

dear kuldeep : the firmware you shared is not in english.. can you please tell me how to change language to english.. please reply soon..
you did some mistake firmware is in english
dude.. i did exaclty as you said.. please give me some suggestion..

dude its not in english.. i am not able to understard.. can you please upload or send me images of steps.. so may be i can understand by symbols..
or tell me options no. in settings and so on
dude.. i found it.. its all in english now.. thanks
i am surprised why you got other language , can you tell me how you fixed it . start a new comment with all details
Oh jeah, i also forgot to say, i had trouble with the language as well
When i turned it on for the first time after upgrade, it was all in russian 
maybe it is a bug of this firmware, it is detecting different language in some phones, it worked for me and my friends
As you told me.. i searched for text and local.. and changed its language to english..
happy to hear that , it works
but is there no way that i do it with Kies?
no if you ar getting froyo again and again as you told, i suggest go for 2.3.4 it is also official but for developers
ok… i’m gonna try that now
hope i don’t screw my phone up 
i don’t loose my warranty or whatsoever right?
sure, you will not lose your warranty
one last question… take out sim and sd?
yes
f*ck kies and gingerbread… i’m not gonna upgrade it like this… i will call samsung on monday
i changed my mind
but this firmware is for ace and i got gio 
can i still go with it?
no , it is impossible to use Ace’s firmware with Gio
no , it is impossible to use Ace’s firmware with Gio
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 
Because Gio has less RAM and hardware capabilities
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? 
anyway thanx allot….
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 !
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
like i said… i had the same problem on froyo
with the wi-fi …. and the froyo was stable 100%
i never tried WEP i think it not supports WEP , like my PSP not supports WAP2
hi it’s me again, shine.. i have read your reply already..,thanks ^_^ anyways.. i just wanna ask you if you happen to know about the spb shell for touchscreen phones.. =D
what you want to know about SPB
i just found it very awesome! =D how can you install it to your phone? is it harmless?
it is not harmless
you mean it isn’t good for the phone?
sorry for bad English , i am so busy
it is good for phone, and more better for high end sets
ok.. if you don’t mind.. do you have the software? i really would like to install it in my phone.. =D

Hi vipul , be confident and make it happen. you can connect your phone after booting in download mode

There is also an app called Ap2Sd. I rooted my phone so i used Titanium to move apps to my SD
Thanks for comments , bro . i m proud of you as part of team
hey dude.. when you are going to root your phone, is it necessary that the internet connection in you phone is on? thats
no internet connection needed.
Hey. You just follow Kuldeep’s tutorial on [url=http://androidflip.com/root-samsung-galaxy-ace-android-234-xxkph-gingerbread-firmware/]How to root Galaxy Ace[/url], you can’t do anything wrong. Just put *.zip file on SD card, restard phone in recovery mode (MENU+POWER ON, hold MENU untill recovery screen), select update from sd card (with buttons VOLUME UP/DOWN, press MENU to select), after update, select REBOOT. You rooted your Ace
hi kudleep.. the update works very good! but what is that big black letter A in a red circle in the application?
can i delete it?
Hi Kuldeep,
I upgraded my ace to 2.3.4.
I have the following issues.
1. Battery drains relatively faster.
2. I calender I am unable to flip to the next or previous months.
3. No zoom in camera.
Please revert back as to how can i correct the above issues.

Thanks
Hi Johar,
i think something is wrong . battery and camera issues are fixed after installing 2.3.4. solution is simple install 2.3.3 official firmware
Download 2.3.3 official firmware
installing process is same as above , only firmware files is changed
download 2.3.3 firmware files
i have a problem with my galaxy ace, already upgrade to 2.3.4. thanks to you. the problem now is, i cant open the memory card on my PC but it is shown there. can you help me?
Install latest version of samsung KIES , OR use card reader, format it
mr singh can u compare firmware 2.3.3 to 2.3.4? advatanges and disadvantages? thanks!
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.
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.
Better speed,performence and better internet
can u name some minor bugs encountered upon upgrading your firmware to 2.3.4?
like :
1. does not support .wma
2. bug camera zoom during taking picture
im just confuse if im going to downgrade my firmware or not.
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
how to create image on rooted galaxy ace…. what app can be helpful…
image ? i didnt get you please describe more

Kuldeep, I have a problem with my 2.2.1 version, dont have the android market and i managed to install it but once its done the 3G connection doesnt work. When i restore to the normal setup the 3G works. you know why ?
maybe 2.3.4 not support your operator OR maybe its 2.3.4′s bug. working fine for me
but i didnt install the 2.3.4 yet.. its when i try to add the Android Market. DO you know how to install the Android Market to my Samsung Galaxy Ace ? I am from Egypt

Remove your phone and reinsert battery then try again
Thanks kuldeep.. its works.
Mr. Singh i have this problem encountered during downgrading my galaxy ace from 2.3.4 firmware to 2.3.3, after i followed your procedure which is 1.) open odin 4.38 2.) select cooper 1.0 to OPS 3.) check one package 4.) select .tar file to one package. after celphone reboot it says “the application setup wizard (process com.sec.android.ugl) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.” I didnt successfully downgrade my phone to 2.3.3 and im still stuck with 2.3.4 version.
waiting for ur reply mr singh.
is 2.3.4 working or dead
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.”
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
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.
no prob download pc drivers for ACE and install on laptop
ok il try it now. il let u know the result if i were to downgrade my ace to 2.3.3
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
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?
if not works , download froyo 2.2.1 (stock firmware) form here

Mr. Singh i need a reply please. my galaxy ace keeps shutting down a while ago. i guess it happened 2 times.
u must reset on recovery mode
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
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
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
tnkx only the language is not perfect but it works
you can change language by going to settings
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO9QYyRib5k
my build number is GINGERBREAD.XXKPH its different from your screenshot above which is build number CODEROM.v1b
it is just a screenshot by a developer
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?
it is asking for enter Google account info
, only some peoples faced this problem . for me it boots in english
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
you are right , dont panic with little probs just stay there and use comman sense
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.
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
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.
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
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!
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
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?
“anyways asking how to edit your message alert or something, is allowed here? ” i didnt understand what you want to ask
asking not related to firmware is allowed here? like how to change your notification ringtone or somthing..
use http://androidflip.com/contact-us form to ask any other question that are not related to post
here is WMV to android converter
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
You have to Reflash or use another firmware. I got that Error when i was flashing with a One Package firmware in Odin.
I tried reflashing several times.. but to no avail.. I think the official update is not made for us
(back to 2.3.4)
buddy i don’t know why it is not working , maybe it is not like 2.3.4 [open Europe firmware]
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
thanx , i really want to help millions of android fans to use it at its best. no matters how i helps :p

Kuldeep, how do i move the apps from SD card to phone? currently the SD card is full and i am unable to download more appls
Oops, i mean the other way. how to move from Phone to SD card?
use app2sd application
Or you can root your phone and use Titanium Backup to move your apps and/or user data to your SD
what are pros and cons in updating 2 gingerbread 2.3.4?? and when u want to go back to official, is it to reflash it by doing the same way as upgrading like using odin and such?? just upgrade mine from 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 no prob, i dont know wat hapen on my my wifi cause some others have prob with it, so i have to go out to a mall and check it….
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/
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
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
really really appreciate it thx so much ^^
Kuldeep..can i install papago on my galaxy ace after instalation gingerbread 2.3.4..that any problem with that?
Ofcourse you can!
All aps that work on 2.2, 2.3.3, work on 2.3.4 too 
thanks choice..
just in case i want to go back to 2.2.1 froyo (the original one came with my phone) where will i download the firmware and any tutorial on how to reflash back?
btw, im from philippines…so maybe need asia one
here is 2.2.1 stock firmware for asia
http://hotfile.com/dl/116755245/379aec8/S5830DDKC1.rar.html
after downloading extract it and tell me what files you get
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…
stay on 2.3.4 , for removing any type of bug factory reset your phone
looks like its not sure if im about to go back to vers 2.2.1, luckily all is well… i hope ^^
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.
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??
if you are brave and cant wait then go for this update or wait al least 2 weeks for 2.3.4
ofcoz ill wait then..i cannot risk flushing down my 2 months salary save for that..thanks for the reply but
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!
so this will not void our warranty rite? and will it crash our phone if we follow ur steps
right it will not void warranty and my you can read tons of comments here of happy readers , who updated their phone and enjoying latest Gingerbread 2.3.4
?????
hi. I updated my ace. it’s nice. but i can’t understand what is this language!! no problem. I changed it. thanx.
here is a video that will help you to change language , just remember icons
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO9QYyRib5k
in the first boot this version uses more RAM than old versin! after reset it goes right.
its very faster than 2.2.1
Yes we need to reset our phone , so it will clear all junk files and it will run smoother
my com port mapping shows 1 (com7) does it matter or do i just start
buddy com port indicates that your phone connected to which port of pc , each time it will different , so no problem . main thing is you got yellow box and added message appeared in ODIN
and it just becomes yellow
that means your phone is connected successfully
urs is com 31 so will it affect my ace???
no com port wont affect your phone
i cant use phone packet after upgrade..wats the problem?and how to solve it?
i cant use phone package to online…only can use wifi…whats the problem? and how to solve it?

Kies: working with a warning that this version of the device can not be updated!
Hope other things will go well too…
enjoy the taste of gingerbread.
You need to Clear the cache data also for good speed, see tutorial
How did you update? though Odin? if yes, how did you not get the error message? Please share.. Thanks.
Should i unroot by phone before upgrade to 2.3.4?
No need to unroot
Thanks for the feedback.
Now I have a difficulties to put my phone in download mode. Any indication that i’m in download mode? when i press those buttons, my screen either turn off or ask me to power off.
Ok lets follow very basic –
1. switch off phone and wait 1 minuts
2. reinsert battery
3. press and hold volume down , and keep holding
4. now press and hold middle key also , and keep it also on hold
you have both keys pressed and hold
now press power on key and dont release it until you entered in download mode
nvm i got it
Successfully updated to 2.3.4. TQ for ur tutorial.
is it possible to install adobe flash player on galaxy ace
Yes, it is possible. I just installed Flash Player 10.3 on my Ace
Hey Choice Mc.. how did you do that? Which firmware are you using? I am on 2.3.4, and I cant find adobe flash in Android Market.
Please help.. Thanks
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?
i dont know what happened , try to reset your phone. to remove default apps you have to root it
The instructions for entering recovery mode are wrong (hence the erro Rohit_27985 has). Recovery mode = home+power (not volume up).
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 .
today i understand why peoples are shouting on me , “recovery not working”
BTW you are really better android geek than me

who knows exactly but may launch in 2012 first month
I have updated my samsung galaxy ace with gingerbread . its works fine . Thanks dude .
Your welcome , keep visiting
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.
This is true. It is faster, and my battery lasts twice as mush as it did on 2.1 or 2.3.3
We’re glad to see you like it!
Geee..
Working like music..
I have yet to check the battery usage..
But otherwise everything is fine..
Thanks dude..
Upgraded to GB 2.3.4 and my ace is working beautifully.
About battery usage, i have yet to check..
However I still could not remove the unwanted apps which came along with the 2.3.4. Have rooted the phone and confirmed it using root check(https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck)
Hope you could guide me..

Do someone of you have troubles with fixing gps?
None. I haven’t heard of anyone running Android 2.3.4 and having GPS problems. Check your settings or contact provider
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.
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]?
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!
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
Thanks, successfully removed Bewank and also a few other unnecessary apps.
Good job!
Enjoy your phone
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….
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
how to upgrade my ROM? thanks for d reply sir
Please describe more , i didnt get you
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?
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!
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
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!
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
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
can i increase the cam corder resolution of my galaxy ace after rooting it? presently the resolution in vich my cam corder records video is 320 X 240. plz reply. as m very new with my phone and rooting. thanx
are you on 2.3.4
yep i ugraded n now d resolution of video recording is doubled. but the problem now is that some of the apps dat worked on my froyo dont work on gingerbread. eg. Need for speed shift, avi files in rock player.
wat shud i do 2 get dem working back???

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
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
How minutes should i wait : l http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn45/blackemo24/Untitled-3.png
It took about 15 mins to me , maybe different for your pc . keep in mind just wait until it completes never disconnect
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.
=(( Urhgg… Why does it take to long for mee.. Should I wait?

Boot your phone in recovery (menu+power key) and select wipe cache. and it will work fine
Always remember to wipe Cache and Factory reset before flashing.
Great post. I flashed my ACE and it works well. Had to change the default language from Russian to English. Rooted without any issues.
Nice!
It always roots without problems
hey bro!!i’ve update my SGA to gingerbread using our guide and everything work well!!!
Thanks dude!!!u rock the android world!!
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
ok.done..so do i need to wipe data/factory reset also?
yes you need to wipe data
@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???
First clear the cache and follow this article for wi-fi fixing
How to Solve Android Wi-Fi Problems
And solution to Sod…..when the mobile switches off auto matically..??
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
why my SGA cannot receive mms??before upgrade into gingerbread,my SGA also can receive mms.do u know the solution?
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
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??
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… =(
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?
Strange
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.
this worked without any problem on my galaxy ace. i followed the instructions precisely. afterwards i even rooted the phone with the instructions in the link under this article
Great Enjoy rooted android

if I need a chinese keyboard input, is it still ok to use the Europe firmware?
Yes you can check , i am not 100% sure because i don’t know Chinese. there are many languages
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
ooh by the way i forgot to mention I did cleared the cache after I reflashed my phone, so I followed the instructions precisely.
Maybe it will help

Hello, Phone is in downloading mode however it´s taking forever for the phone to boot up. Any ideas about what could be the problem?
It says:
7/10 Finished.
system.rfs download..
20 minutes have passed and it is still in that step, I to try the procedure again but same thing is happening.
Any ideas?
Remove phone battery and try again
Hi. I already tried that but the issue is still happening.
Is there anything else I can try?
I used another PC and it is working now.
Thanks!
Very nice update, it is working very smooth, but i have one problem so far, the 3G is not working, is it a bug in the update itself or just on phone???
sorry it was just a matter of changing setting in access point settings
Hi Kuldeep,
I have downloded gingerbread 2.3.3 for my ace from samfirmware and installed, However i am able to see only the home screen and not able to see any of the icons and i get a dilog box saying “Sorry The application set up wizard (process com.sec.android.ugl has stopped unxpectedly. please try again”…i tried several times but i get the same dialog box. Could you please help me what to be done. Just worried is my phone dead.
Dont worry , update your phone to 2.3.4 Gingerbread firmware right now
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!
Thanks Dreemfeeder , for helping peoples

Hi Kuldeep,

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…

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.

Rest and clear cache
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.
To delete this app you need root permissions
How can I do that? Can you give me some link with instructions?
I mean I rooted my phone but still dont know how to delete some applications I do not need…
Thank you.
Sorry Kuldeep… Found the solution
Thanx for everything…
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.
Maybe he is right , which method do you used to root ??
and why you want default firmware ? Downgrading may cause problems
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.
Download any firmware from samfirmware.com and install with the same procedure
I’ve successfully upgraded my galaxy ace (: sad thing is all my apps are wiped out, o well i can get it back. Thanks loads bro!

After update and rooting, is it possible to rename icons in application drawer?
Thank you.
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
Thank you
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.
Any suggestion, please?

Great Kuldeep…it worked well…..For the users..before flashing just remove SD Card and Sim…and to get the contacts back you can export your contacts to SD Card before flashing and can again import ur contacts after flashing.

In recovery touch didint work , you have to use volume up/down keys to go through options and press middle key to select
Got it! I can select those options through the volume rocker key
Maybe you should edit the post and add this in the post for better user understanding
Thanks again!

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
