Help Please With Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830D - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hey guys Im new to this android stuff but I wanted to upgrade my android version from 2.3.4 to 2.3.7 so I would of been able to play more games.
Found out about this tutorial for my exact version to upgrade it to 2.3.7 with this clockwork app to the version of the upgrade was CyanogenMod CM7.2
I followed the simple instructions, back up your stuff then boot it in recovery mode, I wiped all the data and when I installed the clockwork it just said a big error and said "Installation aborted" and same with when I tried installing CyanogenMod..
ANyone know why I cannot get this to install? I followed the steps any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey
1.go to sammobile.com and make account there
2. then go to samfit
3. fill in the fields with Product Code/ PDA and press Send
to search for latest firmware for your phone also get flashing software
Enter *#1234# in dialer for PDA Code i.e. I9000BOJS5
Enter *2767*4387264636# in dialer for Product Code i.e. SGH-I9000ZKBKPNi9000DXID1

Hmm im not sure this is working, I typed in the PDA code that you gave me and I put in the Product code you gave me in that list and it diddnt work I dont understand what the 1234 is though?

Actually I figured it out! I installed the clockwork version 4 and then upgraded it to 5 then i installed the 2.4.7 version BUT IT DIDNT WORK, I just checked the android version and it said its still 2.3.4...
What happend?

Okay update again.. I FINALLY got it installed I have versions 2.4.7!!
Okay but theres another problem... The game Reckless Getaway on the android site says it needs version 2.4.7 (which is what I have now) and when I try to install it I got the same message I got when I had my older version it just doenst even start up and says "Sorry! the application has stopped unexpectedly"
What should I do?

Can someone help me? it seems like no one knows how to do this, I figured out all the way to get Chainfire 3D and followed instructions but some games will load and just go to a grey screen and i hear the music but thats it, and a game called Reckless Getaway just doenst start at all it just says SORRY THE APPLICATION HAS TO CLOSE
WTF? I have android 2.4.7 now I can play all these games it said so on the android site when I looked up what you need to play these games so why is this so difficult to play some games?

Official Adobe Flash Player 10.1_10.1.72.7 for FroYo inside

Thanks to GAda for the link.
It is the official flash player for froyo 2.2 available from the market (although the market doesn't let us download it, I persume it was downloaded on a phone running 2.2 that the market did like).
Works a treat on JP2 (tap and hold to enable full screen flash) much better than the ported flash player that was posted some weeks ago

If you can, I may flash JP2 just for this reason ( I flashed JM2 yesterday )

I tried it on jp3 but the downloaded file has a .txt extension. It tries to open with html reader lol. How do you change a file extension in android?
Ok... Update. I changed the file extension to apk with astro file manager then installed with android ( not astro). Google is my friend lol

Thanks for the download

There is no 'stock' Froyo for the Galaxy S, so which rom are you running out of the leaked Froyo ones (JP1, 2 or 3)?

-i have jp3 instaled today and i can't install some games like raging thunder 2 and when i try to open the game like assasin creed,asphalt5 say the need sd card with a least 0mb ,on 2.1 i don't have any problem...
-ps this flsh is awesome like on my pc:live tv,video etc cooooolll,die iPhone(i have 2 years).
Are the JP1/2/3 roms actually stable? I'm not sure whether to flash it or not. Can anyone outline any of the issues with it!
My xp
I have used the JP3 since it came out, and it is mostly stable for me. Wifi and HDSPA/GPRS works fine, Internet application crashes sometimes, usually on first start, then it works fine. Contacts application works, but sometimes the letters on the right to make you quickstep to a certain letter disappears. If you navigate in and out a few times, they usually come back though.
Other than that, it feels pretty snappy.
I cannot get flash player to work unfortunately, but it seems that a lot of people without root have that problem, can anyone actually confirm that?
/J
-the adobe flash player work perfect on my fp3 without root ,but i change the room and now i have jm2 because the 2.2 froyo have lag,bugs,etc
Is there anything you need to enable to make flash work, because it does not work for me. I have tried several apks, playerversion.com says I have 10,1,72,7 installed though, but no flash content seem to work.
/J
only instal flash with appsinstaller and reboot ,in browser option dezactivate mobile view and thats it.
so you cant use this with the stock rom?

I might have become blind, but I cannot find that option anywhere.
Are you supposed to find that in Settings in the browser?

galaxy ace work???
I was wondering who the hell bumped this thread.
Just give it a try. Won't hurt. You can always uninstall it later on.
I spent five minutes literally trying to figure out what was so special about a flash player leak that came from Froyo 2.2, before I noticed the date on the first post!
Seriously, why bump this???

[Q] Installing Hulu in other ROMs

I'm trying to nail down the exact procedure for installing Hulu into Roms other than SkyRaider. Specifically I am currently using HeyItsLouFroyo which after trying all the ROMs I could find worked the best.
So far I have downloaded the Hulupack.zip from the OP of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764787&highlight=hulu
and the Hulu.apk.zip file from an update to the same thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7903587&highlight=hulu#post7903587
I tried installing the "install_huluflash_player.apk" but it gave me an error during the install something to the effect of "Application was not installed". From there I installed the "Hulu.apk" which installed successfully. Next I tried "flash_fixed_final.apk" which gave me the same error as the original flash install. Just for grins I launched the Hulu app and to my surprise it seemed to be working until I got a message that said "Unfortunately Hulu is not supported on your platform" I have not installed the updated hulu.apk that I found later in the thread yet. I wanted to first start a thread and see if you guys can save me some time and frustration by telling me what the proper process is for getting this working.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
It looks like I may have posted this in the wrong spot. Can someone please move this to the correct spot or tell me how I can move it and where to?
Bump bump

subscribed, i've actually been trying to figure this one one since 9am tried everything found in every 2.2 thread
Did you uninstall old files first?

I did not. I just removed the flash app via Titanium and tried to install the flash_fixed_final.apk but received the same error as before.
Now I have no flash at all and still can't install flash. HMMM, now what?
Wait, alright I rebooted and after the reboot I was able to install the new version of flash. I opened hulu and it seems to be working now except it has this issue where the voices are super slow. I remember reading something about this in another forum but I think it was fixed by an update to the ROM. Anyone know how to fix the demon voices?
I have a 100% working Hulu now.
The fix for the demon audio was found in another forum. Here is what I did.
1. Opened Rom Manager
2. Selected "Download ROM"
3. Selected "Ihtfp69"
4. Selected "Goodies for 2.2+"
5. Clicked on the "Download" button
6. Checked the checkbox next to "Revert Audio Fix" and clicked OK.

[Q] Deleted googleapps by accident, can't fix phone.

www <DOT> brighthub.com/mobile/motorola/articles/102410 <DOT> aspx
Issue is this:
To install the ROM, you will need the ClockWorkmod ROM Manager.
Start Android Market on your phone and search for ROM Manager. Install the Clockwork Mod ROM Manager. Note that your Defy must be rooted before you can install ROMs on it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Being as I deleted google apps I can't use the market. So I managed to find a googleapps1.3 apk file on the net, reinstalled it but it just crashes and requires force close whenever it starts, have been told it is a permissions issue so I tried fixing permissions via ROM manager but I get this error:
"An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"
Now ultimately I want 2.2 froyo anyway, but what is the best way to get the correct Clockwork Mod ROM Manager APK for a motorola defy? I've looked everywhere but cannot find it.
ROM manager has an option to download it, but it only gives options for Droid x, droid 2 and some other non defy phone.
So how do I get myself out of this pickle and install froyo 2.2 or at least get google apps 1.3 working again?
Really appreciate any help, thanks guys
had to make a new account as my password wont work and neither will password recovery
anyway I tried using the defy recovery but it says the update.zip file is invalid and doesn't pass the certificate test or some random thing
how am to get google apps working again? all I want is my stock rom working, or if I can get a 2.2 version that is exactly the same that'd be great.
Can anyone help me? I have the googleapps.apk file but it just crashes if I reinstall it.
If you just want to get back to stock...
1. Send it in for repair.
2. Find a relevant SBF file and flash via RSD Lite. What does Settings -> About phone tells you?
system version blur_version.2.51.1.mb25.retail.en.GB
JRDNEM_U3_2.5.1.1
where would I look to find the SBF file?
managed to find a stock rom and reflash it, all is good now
thanks guys

[Q] Having Problems with my Rooted Kindle Fire PLEASE HELP

Okay So I am tired of trying this on my own and failing so heres the deal... I rooted my Kindle Fire a while ago but for some reason something went wrong in the process. I couldn't browse on the internet without getting an annoying error message and the android market wasn't getting installed. So today I tried fixing it.. AGAIn but today I managed to reinstall CM7 and now I can browse the internet with no errors BUT I still can't get the Android market/ Google play store to get installed properly. So everything seems to be working fine but I can't install the market/play store. So can anyone help me? I tried a few guides most were a little out dated.
If anyone can link me to the proper up to date files for installing the google play store app on my Rooted Amazon Kindle Fire ( running CM7) please post here.
Hey. So you need to install the Google Apps (aka Gapps). I couldn't tell if you had outré if you just installed the play store. Either way, I would reflash the Gapps designed to work with cm7. You can access the Gapps from this thread of hashcode's. Just download the right one and flash it with TWRP in recovery or by adb if you're good with that.

thanks but I fixed it, well not really "FIX" but I installed Jelly Bean and everything works great and I like it better than what I was running before so I guess even though I really wanted to run CM7 this was a needed upgrade. Thank you for your help .

[Q] CM 10 Google Play Store refuses to work

Hey guys:
Unlocking and rooting my HTC Wildfire was the second most frustrating experience of my life. However, it's finally over and I flashed CM 10 onto my phone along with 4.1.2 GApps signed (I followed this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878031&highlight=unlocked+bootloader+but+s-on).
Everything seemed to go well, except the Google Play Store doesn't work. It keeps giving me the "Error retrieving information from server. [RH-01]" message. I've also noted that Google Services Framework is NOT installed on my phone. I should note that I have 0 apps installed, meaning I do not have a file manager and there is no file manager/explorer that comes stock as far as I'm aware.
I've looked all over the internet and everything tells me to erase the cache because corrupted data seems to be the most common cause of this error message. This is obviously not the case with my phone. What do I need to do to get this thing to work? I've reflashed the GApps and even flashed a different one. I've tried manually downloading and installing Google Services Framework but it won't install. I've tried moving files around on my SD card (the only thing I can access from my computer) and nothing has worked.
I'm just about at my wit's end here guys. Please help me!
PS. I have a clockworkmod back-up from before my phone was rooted saved onto my computer. However it doesn't have my apps in it so I don't think I can get a file manager from it.
**FIXED**
I feel like an idiot, but the reason it wasn't working was because the CM 10 mod I was trying to install failed to install :S I wrote the warning sign off as something else and didn't read the message it sent me I guess.
ANYWAY I found a fix here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136011 use the SLIMCM-10 ROM instead and that's what fixed if for me (use all the other downloads he has there too, except for the regular CM10 mod). Thanks for the help that I received, and sorry for being a n00b. Love this community BTW, you guys are the best!
This happened to me the first time I flashed icu's marvelc port of paranoid android...I fixed it by wiping everything and just reflashing the whole rom and gapps. Try that. Tell me if it works.
