Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 Gets Official Gingerbread 2.3.4 Update with DDKQ5
Pre Requisites:
- As we mentioned that, all the data like Contacts, SMS, Pictures, Songs and Videos will be erased if these are stored in the phone. Kindly don’t backup the data with the help of the KIES as it creates the backup in the (.sbu) format which sometimes has issues in restoring the same as KIES sometimes doesn’t recognize the phone. So, it’s recommended strictly that backup the contacts as well as the SMS by referring the below mentioned links.
- Also, since the APN Settings as well as the MMS Settings too will be lost in the due course of the process of updation, you need to backup / note them as well. APN Settings are responsible for the Internet access while the MMS Settings are responsible for sending the MMS Settings. You can note all these two settings from the path, “Applications > Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names”.
- Ensure that all the Security Solutions like Firewalls, Antivirus and also the KIES application is closed completely till the firmware update is done.
- It’s very important to ensure that you have the ADMIN privileges before you proceed to update your phone and also the USB port needs to be open which means that it should have the read / write access so that the firmware can be applied successfully.
- Note that you will have to charge your phone to a minimum of 90% plus so as to ensure that you don’t experience the lesser battery life even after the firmware update. Many users ignore this step which is the root cause on why users face issues of battery backup even after updating with the firmware.
- Never interrupt the process of firmware update manually, just in case if it gets interrupted by power failure then no need to worry as all you need to do is to just follow the instructions again from the start which are mentioned in the next page.
- So, in the next page let’s get started with the actual procedure on how you can install the same on your phone. Please note that all the download links are mentioned in the article, so kindly find for the same.

i have successfully upgraded to 2.3.4
i cant change the message skins as i could in 2.2
what should i do?
hello! i just purchased galaxy ace S5830 with an OS of gingerbread. when i purchase it, it already has a 2.3.4 version. my problem is, i found out that in other galaxy ace which has android 2.2 which is a froyo, they have this message skin in their message settings but in my phone, it doesn’t have. kindly help me please!
you said that i,ve to root first for this update as am on custom rom..
but as i said an on a prerooted custom rom..
TB,A2SD n others are workin which means its rooted..
am i right?
so what you suggest now?
yes but you need to root first to accommodate this ROM!
entering the recovery mode in galaxy ace requires us to press the power off button and the home button together. Pressing the volume up button is not necessary
IMPORTANT…!!!….All of you…..While upgrading your Samsung Galaxy Ace to official Gingerbread 2.3.4 through Kies software….Please assure that your Kies has a latest version…if not…..please upgrade it first……then try to upgrade your Ace…..Upgrade your phone only if you are using hi-speed internet through Wi-Fi…..it takes around 1 to 2 hrs (Please keep patience or wait while upgrade)….Do not use any USB broadband internet device as it’s speed is very low for updating your phone through Kies…..if you still getting any message on Kies while updating or it stops…..try again and again till you get the update to your phone….it’s normal…….All the Best…!!!
I actually did the 2.3.3 upadte today since i thought it wasnt out yet but it seemed that I screwed it up cause I didnt make any backups but all my apps are on my Sd wich arent shown how to get the original firmware back and let Kies do all the other updates. after that ill just inform vodafone of a factory reset
Thanks a lot for this! If it is possible for the article to be edited, please incorporate the alternate procedure – Home key + Power button – that most of us encountered. It would be much appreciated.
Special thanks to those who made the clarifications.

Presently, I am on DDKQ5 and I want to apply Custom ROM “Ginger Real” released by you. When i gone through the questions / comments under that release, I understand that majority of the users / people are not successful in applying that update.
Tell me without any justification / condition, whether I have to aplly this update or wait for further release from your side. I don’t want endup in any bad situation.
Thanks in advance buddy….
After seeing the comments we recommend to wait as most of the users are unable to update!

Don’t bother with the up volume key..just press home key and power button. Problem solved.eople having problems getting in to recovery mode….Don’t bother with the up volume key..just press home key and power button. Problem solved.
I have upgraded my samsung GT-S5830 to gingerbread-234 and I could not go into recovery mode ,so I reset my mobile using factory reset option.Later when I came to know from this site how to go into recovery mode ,I again re installed and used to clean the data and cache as suggested.I also used My Backup pro to re install my data and applications.
But now battery is getting drained faster and also charging faster,Also I have not seen any appreciable change .
What could be the reason?
Did you have over 90% battery life when you did the upgrade as the info states lots of people ignore this and after upgrade it optimizes the battery. If not then your battery could have suffered reduced performance after being optimized on a low battery.
how to root my phone after the update..
good day!! i finished installing the firmware but i cant into recovery mode it just says “RAMDump Arm9 mode” with the samsung logo on the screen? what can i do? can i clear the cache using the factory reset in the settings? thanks!!!
is your phone working well in the normal mode?
Try pressing just press home key and power button. Worked for me fine after getting same “RAMDump Arm9 mode” problem.
Normal mode is working fine?
I tried the version update of “GalaxyAce_S5830_DDKQ5_2.3.4″ It worked perfectly for me. My phone is amazing fast and responsive. I just love it. The battery is also not draining. I am having samsung ACE and earlier version was android 2.3.1 froyo.
Follow steps mentioned till the message where it says wait for Blue screen in ODIN.(After you click on Start)
Nice job of http://androidadvices.com I will wait for next version release.
Hi all! All I want is the fastest operation system. Given that Galaxy Ace processor is not as fast as we all wish it to be, would you still recommend me to install 2.3 or stick with 2.2?
whats wersion of update i best?
Hi Neil i have one problem but its not a major one. Since updating i have reset my APN exactly how it was before but when i send messages i have to deactivate network mode otherwise they will fail to go through. Any fix for this? Thanks for your help.
save the apn!
What is rooting?. Will my phone’s warranty become void by installing the gingerbread update in this way?
I already have and i have double checked that the settings are exact but still no joy. What will happen if i factory reset would it reset the settings i originally had when i was on froyo or what i have saved since updating?
please follow the procedure again after 30 minutes, we are updating the procedure!
Hi,
I installed this firmware update on my Galaxy Ace…
Somehow, my phone has restored all the contacts, apps and messages also.. Still, I can see the Android version updated to 2.3.4
Is this a normal behavior???
please follow the procedure again, it now has been changed!
What is rooting?. Will my phone’s warranty become void by installing the gingerbread update in this way?
yes rooting voids the warranty!
What do you mean follow the procedure again? Re updating again?

Want to upgrade your Samsung Ace to gingerbread 2.3.4 (DDKQ6)….Don’t look for any other method……….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…

Some Galaxy Ace phones needs to simultaneously press menu and turn button ( don’t include the up volume button) in order to enter the Recovery mode.. Thanks for this site..I was able to successfully upgrade my Galaxy Ace from Froyo to Gingerbread..wohoooooo..Thanks Neal
Thanks a lot Neal. The firmware update failed for me in Kies, but update was successful based on the above instructions.
Thanks for posting these instructions in a user friendly way….
thanks venkat for your trust and appreciation towards us!

hye neal..what is the differences between froyo and gingerbread??
i know the gingerbread was the latest one,but if i stick to froyo,is it ok??
there are many changes, it will not be possible to list all of them. Few changes which are major includes performance fixes, visual changes, additional apps support etc.!

Hi Neal, I’ve uptaded my phone and it works fine (Thanks for the post and the carefully explained steps, by the way) . My only problem is that the Wifi works for about 5 minutes after I turn on the phone then it’s says error on the Wifi settings page. And sometimes the screen turns black in the middle of typing or browsing. Did I did something wrong? Could you please help me? Thank you!
check with the Wi Fi sleep settings! there are some issues reported on wi fi front, we are looking into it!
Thanks so much for replying
I already checked and configured it to never go to sleep, it seems to be working. I’ll try to keep checking for any updates on this. Thank you again!
thanks andrea for your feedback!
Hey NeaL, I’m so sorry to bother you so much! The WiFi experiment failed. It stops working after a few minutes. I would appreciate any help with this. I’ll keep checking. Thank you
check with the DDKQ6 update!
Hey NeaL I think I know the problems with the “can’t access the recovery menu” or “I clicked the buttons you asked me to and it showed me a different thing” problems . First of all you DON’T need to press Power ON + Volume up + Home Button(Middle Button) . All you need to press is the Power ON + Home Button(Middle Button) . That’s the solution
Hope this works for all of you guys

I have an Unlocked Samsung Ace. It was locked to Optus(Aus) and I got it unlocked from a mobile repair shop in India. It came with Android Version 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD .XWKS9 and its is full of Optus stuff and I want to get rid of it. Now if I upgrade to 2.3.6., will my phone remain unlocked and function normally?

Neal,
“You can note all these two settings from the path, “Applications > Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names”.”
Does this mean that I do not have to call my service provider when saving this information?
yes, you dont have to note down the settings!
hi Neal,
i wonder if i can install the new firmware to my galaxy ace ( i have 2.3.3 GINGERBREAD ) im in the middle east (united arab emirates) and is the latest firmware support arabic or not. ??? many thanks
it doesnt support arabic firmware!
Hi Neal,
The process works perfectly, and the firmware is properly updated. BUT I think the new firmware changed my phone’s area. Do you know of a way to fix it or should I look for a specifically European update and overwrite this one?
Thanks to all and NeaL… i follow all the instruction step by step, and my S5830 working fine with new firmware. But on the Recovery Mode step, i got some problem to get the right step. After read all the comment up there, finally i can get through to the Recovery Mode by holding \Home key + START button\…

He Neil,
I’m from the philippines, i’m using galaxy ace froyo-ddkc1. it’s brand new an i want to upgrade this to gingerbread because we all know that it’s much better than froyo. i have downloaded all the necessary things to download and i ready to start the update but i want to hear it from you that its ok for me to update my galaxy ace froyo-ddkc1 to what you have here in your site ddkq5? i have took the time to read all the the threads here and some have problems, of course i don’t want that to happen to my phone.
Looking forward for you reply. thanks
yes you can apply with this update!
I have been reading some informations on how to update/upgrade my Galaxy Ace Froyo-DDKC1 to gingerbread and i found out something about rooting the android phone.
If I do the instructions that you have said above. will this also root my phone? or do i still need to follow a different procedure for that?
Do i need to root my phone first so that i can upgrade/update it to gingerbread 2.3 or this will automatically be rooted if I follow your instructions and will also be upgraded/updated to gingerbread?
Hoping for your quick reply.
no, there is no need to root, please follow the instructions!

Same problem here! I cannot download the DDKQ5, something regarding “page not found” and even though there’s DDKQ6 I read that DDKQ5 is better… your opinion?…
Also I got a a FROYO.UBKD1 / 2.2.1 and I would like to check with you if I can follow all the steps on this post because it seems like my carrier got the phone blocked. I just read that it might be a problem ‘case I’m located on Latin America but I’m not sure… and if you recommend DDKQ5 could you please try to upload the link again :3
Sorry for the questions but I’m new on this :S

Hi, I would like to know if this firmware update is affected by geographical location? ie I’m from south africa and my froyo baseband version is s5830xxkb1, do I not need a xxkb1 gingerbread baseband version, could this affect things like hsdpa availability as I know there are different frequencies for mobile internet in different countries?
Thank you
