Update failuire (signature) galaxy ace 2 - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I have the Galaxy ace 2 i8160 , I posted in the forum there but i figured that it isnt a very popular phone , which i dont know why, but i hope others can help as it should be roughly the same across other phones
I was looking to install the jellycream rom after waiting a long time. I got this phone as soon as it was released, and upgraded from my more up to date (rom wise) lg optimus.
Now this may seem nooby, but since i last did it i cannot figure it out again. How do i flash the custom rom, as i have the rom, patches and 2 different kernels on my sd card and keep getting the same error when trying to flash.
I get a signature verification failiure error
i cannot figure out how to fix it as ive tried various methods
thanks for any replies, it would be very helpful

First Thing First. :)

Hello guys! I just got my defy and it's really cool. I was reading the wiki to start customizing and rooting the phone but I am afraid to start because of luck of informations. I tried to search but everything became more complicated. lol. Though I am not new to this because I came from Galaxy Spica.
First of all, my device has blur_version.2.51.1.mb525.retail.en.it firmware. If anything goes wrong can I apply other roms found on the wiki?
Second, is there a different method of rooting my device which is an IT I suppose?
Thanks for giving your inputs in this thread. Many people who are about to mod their phone for the first time will make use of this thread.
Try the FAQ and info in Dev forum...

[Q] anyone can help us to fix this problem??

hi devs!!
please admins, don't delete this 3d!!
a few days ago, me and more other users had this problem:
when i shut down my DHD, it reboots automatically after a few seconds...this issue remains with all roms (sense, miui, CM7)... i've tried to reflash recovery, format all partition and reflash rom, change radio firmware but nothing!!
this is the Thread where we are trying to find a reason of this problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014302
but we have no solution!
can devs help us to fix this problem??
this problem was appeared at the change of the hour, the 27/3/11.
more of us have changed rom, have root and engeneering bootloader, but this problem appears in stock DHD too.
thanks devs for all and for help and sorry for my bad english!
I'm surprised the thread has lasted this long...
I really do hope you find a fix for your problem but posting a link in here to a thread elsewhere will only annoy people. There's separate sections for a reason.

i know!!
but i think devs che help us to find a solution!!....in general section there are no devs!!!!!
Yep, I know most devs only look in here (they're busy making ROMs for us) but the mods will still enforce the rules. Why not PM a link to a couple of people you think might be able to help?
The issue is described in cm7's rc thread so the dev's probably know about this already. If they can help they probably will anyway.
I can't believe you abbreviated 'thread' to '3d'!

This problem does not let switch off your phone properly. I mean without disconnecting your battery. And this bug affects all users who flashed CM rom after 27.03.11. All that was proposed to workaround this is that you should set date before 27.03.11
I read in this forum that this doesnt affect people who didnt rooted their phones and didnt flash CM roms. But who did suffers from it even if reflashed original stock rom not to mention other cooked roms.
So there is no fix for that at the moment and no devs are looking to fix it or if they do they didnt came up with a solution.
So meanwhile may be this bug should be listed in first message of CM rom`s thread that if you flash that rom you would not be able to switch your phone properly or something like that...

Questions About i8160L

I have a galaxy ace i8160L, and i want to install custom roms, but i see that there is a model i8160 WIthout L (and i see other with i8160P), dont know where to start, and i dont know if i can use all the tutorials from i8160 to i8160L. I dont want to brick the phone for doing something wrong, also, if there is any way to avoid flash counter that would be great (i see a flashable for CWM but for i8160, so dont know if can be use it with i8160L)
Any help is appreaciate. thanks
Search around the Ace II general forums. There was one or two guidez on how to make this possible. For gingerbread only so far. also, I'm not sure but maybe you can use the manual flash counter reset using terminal.
oh by the way, there's a q and a thread and its stickied, any further questions that are not related to this should be posted there since most of the users are monitoring that thread therefore a better chance to get an answer.
Nevermind my sig, its my sig in XDA app.
Is pressing "THANKS" to hard to do? If you think my post is helpful then click that button! Ungrateful bast***s​
You should ask in the Question and Answer Thread, not making new threads for just a single question.
And i8160L is the NFC version, there are a few ROMs as mentioned by Dro1ne and you can try installing non-L ROMs but you'll most likely to lose your NFC functions and a little chance of brickings. CMIIW though.
Should one see another pointless thread without asking it in the Q and A Thread, don't reply to it and let the thread sink to bottomless pit of hell.
EDIT: sorry for the harsh language, it's just really getting annoying when I see new threads but just asking a single question of not the same question again and again.
ok, sorry, i search first but still no clear, i will ask a last question there.thanks for your time.
Dont worry, i understand, was my mistake. i just want to see if keep the phone or not, i already have another android, but this is just because a friends need it and want custom roms like mine.
If you want to install GB custom roms on your i8160L then click the link on my signature

[Q] Ten Posts.

Im going to just put this out there.
I have to post ten times here? to be able to post on a different area of this website? Bogus. Just because I havent posted doesnt mean I do not know anthing about the process. I follow instructions as they are posted and end up with very few questions if any, and almost always find the answer in this forum by reading my butt off. It just seems lame that after reading a thousand pages of a forum on a ROM I cant post a quick question on that forum. Anyway, Its ROM specific and this thread has nothing to do with it.
Enough crying like a 3 year old........
I downgraded a GS3 I747 from 4.1.2, to 4.1.1 root injected (Mr. Robinson), installed TWRP v.2.6.3.1 and did a flawless flash of Hyperdrive 16. This was my first smartphone, first flash, first anything when it comes to this world and I love the ideas, concepts, and especially this community. I am now wanting to venture out into some other ROM types, i.e. AoCP, AOKP. But after reading through the entire 214 pages of the AoCP collective project. I would like to try it, I need to post questions in that post related to that ROM though. What I have gathered is that I need to flash the bootloader, and modem before I flash the ROM or it will fail. Coming from a Stock Mod, I am wondering about the specific steps involved for coming from Hyperdrive to this.
Thanks and I should have just busted this up into ten posts huh?
