How To Update Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 with Cyanogen MOD 7.1 Gingerbread 2.3.7 Firmware
Update: This process is not recommended for the users anymore as users are facing issues after applying this update! We will again come back with the article as soon as a new stable version of Cyanogen MOD arrives!
For all Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 users who were asking for the Cyanogen Mod ROM, here it is as in the due course of the article we will see on how you can install the latest version of Gingerbread 2.3.7 version. This update is basically a custom ROM and not the official or leaked Stock / Default ROM. You need to be very careful as in you need to follow all the instructions very carefully while applying this update or else there is a high probability that you may even brick your phone. We have tried our level best to make this article crisp and short in order to facilitate the faster and speedier update process.
Over a period of this article we will see on what are the list of –
Pre Requisites,
Enhancements in Cyanogen MOD ROM for Galaxy ACE,
Procedure to update Galaxy ACE S5830 with Gingerbread 2.3.7 Cyanogen MOD Release
Note: Please note that this Cyanogen Mod release if the un official release and still the Official Cyanogen MOD ROM is not yet released, so ensure that you are flashing at your own rick.
Disclaimer: We should not be held responsible in any manner just in case if anything happens to your device which is a very unlikely case if you follow the instructions which are mentioned in the due course of the article.
This update is not the Official update which is released by the Samsung Electronics Ltd. and is the custom ROM which is released by the third party developer. Also, in the process of applying this custom ROM, you will have to root the phone and after which you will be losing the warranty which can be claimed only when you update with any of the Stock releases like DDKQ6 or XWKS2 Update which we have seen earlier. Soon, a modified version of Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 version will be arriving for the Galaxy ACE S5830 phone which too will be covered here.
Enhancements in the Cyanogen MOD ROM:
- Camera issue has been fixed in this firmware of Cyanogen,
- Gingerbread 2.3.7 AOSP Build,
- Video Playback has been fixed,
- Headset Button is now fully working,
- FM Radio Works better than ever,
- Fixed Built number GWK74,
- Setup Wizard Fixed,
- Super user application now comes updated by default,
- New kernel based on Ketut,
- Camera Orientation bug has been fixed,
- Compass works perfectly,
- Battery too has been optimized so as to give higher battery life and also the Internet browser is now faster than ever
- Also there are many performance fixes which have been worked around to give better user experience with new fresh User interface
Pre Requisites:
- Charge your device to a minimum of 90% as since the procedure is bit lengthy, the phone will consume more battery than the normal usage. Lesser battery will lead to the turning Off of the device in the middle of the firmware update process.
- Back up all your data which is there in the phone memory, as in an unlikely event if the data gets lost then you can easily restore the backup. With the help of tips which are given below you can easily create the backup.
Notes – Backup in the mail so that you can then restore manually
Text messages – Use “SMS Backup & Restore app”,
Phone Contacts – Sync with the Gmail application,
Call Log - Call Log and Restore
Pictures, Music, Videos, Files etc.– Copy to internal / External SD Card,
Internet & MMS Settings – Backup all the settings from the path “Applications > Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names”.
- Up next is you need to ensure that the USB Debugging is enabled in your phone. The USB Debugging can be enabled from the path of Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging. Apart from this you also need to ensure that your computer has ADMIN privileges and USB Read / Write Access. It’s not recommended to use computers which have limited access.
Special Instructions to users on Custom ROM:
Just in case if you are any of the custom ROMs then you need turn Off your phone so that you can then enter into the recovery mode. The recovery mode can be entered by pressing Volume UP Key + Middle button, and holding both simultaneously press the Power Button. You can also refer to an interactive video to know more on how you can enter the same in the recovery mode. If the device boots normally then you need to again try to enter the same.
In the recovery mode, select the options like Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe Cache partition and then select reboot system now to reboot the phone. You can select the options using the Volume keys and can select the appropriate option by pressing the Power button. This basically clears off all the cache data which is there in the phone so that the room can be made to accommodate this all new custom ROM firmwares. Just in case if any of the other tools like the Voodoo etc. are installed, if yes then then you need to disable the same.
So let’s head to the procedure which is mentioned in the next page.

Hi,
Can u reply part 1, coz its doesnt wokr :/
its a buggy firmware, it will soon be rectified in the coming versions!
hi! is this update applicable to rooted gingerbread 2.3.4 ddkq6 GA? thanx
yes!
one more thing .. I’ve done a web search about these cyanogenmod by kang & it tells that these update have trouble on wifi..
yes but only on the static ips!
so u mean wifi is working ok?
for some users there is an issue!
CyanogenMod is not made by KANG. KANG is a unofficial build of CyanogenMod. In the next few weeks a inside source from the CyanogenMod team told me that an official build is on the way. They might hold on until ICS is released.
It is not the official Cyanogen mod Rom!
yes, its the alpha release!
The Galaxy Ace S5830 comes in three flavors: S5830, S5830L & S5830B (frequency differences), will the Cyanogen MOD 7.1 Gingerbread 2.3.7 Firmware work on ALL models? Appreciate any input. Thanks much!!
no, it will only work on S5830 Model as its a n/w lock free device!
Dear Neal,
I think I’ve bricked the phone. All sudden the phone black out during backup current rom. Is there any chances I’ll recover the phone. It can’t boot or what so ever. Please help!!!1
where have you done it wrong?
I’ve successfully rooted. Then I’ve installed the ROM manager from the market. Then I flashed the clock mod recovery and still ok. Later I backup the the current rom, when it asked for the file name for the backup, I pressed the middle button, all at sudden it black out. It can’t be booted or on the phone. Is it bricked???
yup its bricked. go to service center and tell its not working after fw update. and Neal post dont use rom manager instead use clock work mod to back up rom.
your feedback has been taken!
Hi, zul this same hapening in my case. the phone is now dead. even it does not charge battery . Mr. Neal, Please resolve this issue.
thank you in advance.
apply with DDKQ6 Update, it will solve the issue!
Hi NEAL,
VERY GOOD NEWS. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Great posting!! I’m gonna try this one out. I have one question: I’m using the xxkph android 2.3.4 version. Do I have to install the DDKQ5 android 2.3.4 or can I just skip that part of the installation.
yes you need to install!
I rooted my ace and installed ROM Manager. but while i am selecting “Flash Clock Work Mod Recovery” option, its asking me to confirm the phone model ….but unfortunately there is no samsung galaxy ace listed. no samsung phone models at all. its showing only dell streak, huawei and some other models…. I already copied “recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip” to my sd card…..plz help me
have you tried updating from the recovery mode?
dude please help i tried updating from recovery mode and now when switching on it gets stuck at the galaxy ace screen what should i do? can i install another version? or is my phone bricked? please help!!
apply with DDKQ6 update, everything will be fixed! try after re inserting the battery!
Request you not to use “Backup Current Rom”. It will make your Galaxy Ace dead.
is it? mine already dead… can it be rocover bro?
have you taken the backup of your earlier firmware as mentioned in the article? If not then you can apply with the update of DDKQ6 DDKQ5
yu can backup the rom with cwm(clockwork mod)yu can successfully do it.thanx
Hey NEAL,
Great news, finally you have released the long awaited CM7 ROM.
Please note that earlier I tried GingerReal released by you and had lot of problems and then, as per your advise, I had flashed with DDKQ5 & finally with DDKQ6. After that, I came to know from one of my friend @ FirstUA Custom ROM and flashed my phone with FirstUA ROM. Presently, i am on FirstUA ROM V-1.2 (Android version 2.3.4, Baseband version XXKPH and Kernel version 2.6.35.7-perf-CL375596 ketut@ketut-lenovo #1).
In view of the above, I need to know the following before trying this release :
1) Whether I have to go back to DDKQ5 or NO NEED (I am on XXKPH) ?
2) If no need to go back to DDKQ5 the, rooting is not required as my phone is already rooted and I can directly apply this update CORRECT ? Only thing is I have to download ROM Manager application to follow your instructions.
3) Is this ROM is better then FirstUA ROM ?
4) Can I shift all my APK to SD card to keep more internal memory free ?
Kindly reply in detail so that I would not face any problem while applying this release.
Thanks in advance and sorry for writting too much.
yes, you need to go to ddkq5,
please follow the instructions, its very much detailed!
yes you can shift apks to sd!
Is this ROM is better then FirstUA Custom ROM ?
Please advise urgently. Waiting 4 your reply.
you need to follow the instructions!
I am asking question @ the FirstUA Custom ROM and not about the instructions given by you in the article.
Please reply to my question to the point.
Question = Is this CM 7 Custom ROM is better then FirstUA Custom ROM ?
no, as of now CM7 has some issues!
Why doesnt my samsung galaxy have flash option in video mode ????
Samsung Galaxy Ace
it doesnt support some flash components and so does you are facing issues!
Awesome..

next question: if I install this Cyanogen 7.1 is this a stable version and are there updates
keep up the good work!!!!
its not a stable version as of now!
Can you answer this question as well?

Hey NeaL,
2 feedbacks after using it for almost a week:
1.I pause a song while listening music on headphones by pressing the answer button of headphones. However, when I press it again in CM7 it becomes robotic and the phone HANGS (FREEZES). The only way out is to remove battery and switch on again.
2. The default alarm tones are very annoying and there is no way to customize it.
Just a general feedback which you can probably forward the developers. Otherwise, this is 1000% times better than stock roms.
The feedback is to make the CM7 experience even better.
Cheers,
Zubin
thanks zubin for your valuable feedback!
not god freezis all the time you cant put the message center nmb.everything is on default and you cant change anything going back to froyo because the ginger is not so god at all

Odin is detecting the phone and showing a yellow bar yet it stops on setup connection and stays like that indefinitely ……..Dunno what to do….the guide above some how doesn’t even mention that you need to find your device specifically in ROM manger
\After this from the list of options, you need to first up select the option of “Flash Clock Work Mod Recovery” which will flash the recovery mode in your phone.\….bricked on this step….
any help is appreciated
i got the same problem, if you fix it tell me please
Pedro, se for aqui do Brasil me mande um email para trocarmos uma ideia, estou com o mesmo problema que vc.
o seu melhor para reverter para a versão de firmware como DDKQ6 CM 7 é terrivelmente buggy! Vamos sair com a versão estável na melhor das hipóteses!
We have the same problem, shit happens!
I’ve been googling around, our problem is probably the worst one. So have to give it to SSC

Hi Neal,
Somehow, I am not satisfied with the camera picture quality, not as clear as of stock camera. Can you please advise from where I can get the Stock Camera APK file or the ZIP file of Galaxy Ace so that I can install APK file directly OR extracting the ZIP file and replacing the existing camera files by making use of Root Explorer ?
Please advise urgently.
In case, you do not have the Stock Camera file of Galaxy Ace in that case give me the link so that I can take further action.
Thanks in advance……
please return back to the stock firmware!
i am on xwkpy is it safe to go ahead with this procedure?
YES STEPHEN IT IS SAFE!

dude, i got the same error, but even odin doesn´t recognize the phone. if you discover anything to fix it tell me please
hi pedro, update with ddkq6 version of firmware!
“After this from the list of options, you need to first up select the option of “Flash Clock Work Mod Recovery” which will flash the recovery mode in your phone.” <—– Can't find Samsung GALAXY ACE on the phone type list?!
And eventually i've chosen it to random phone, and then reboot then…. my phone won't start ON. Won't go download mode, just cannot do anything. Except when i plugged in the phone to the COMPUTER and i HOLD volumeup+home+power it was detected but still nothing happened on the phone screen. TOTAL BLACK OUT!
Which means, i've been googling around for 8 hours (from 11pm to 6am)!! To find any solution to fix this problem, so what i get is my that my ACE got a really HARD BRICKED! *barf
Neal i think you have to put some more details on STEP 2. more people will get their ACE HARD BRICKED !! & probably will suicide because of it. Thanks i hope you understand !
you now need to apply DDKQ6 Update to your phone after reinserting the battery!
http://androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-official-gingerbread-234-ddkq6-firmware/

Hi neal , i think you must delete Step 2: Clock Work MOD Installation from your instructions ,because it’s doesn’t need.
you can entering the recovery mode without ROM manager and you choose the zip file form sdcard.
Sorry for my bad english,,

its already mentioned on the site on how to update with DDKQ6!
Miguel,
but how do i update with the ddkq6 can u pliz explain it to me cause really i dont know, Thanks in advance
Dear NEAL>>>>>>>>
We have all understood quite clearly that THE SITE MENTIONS HOW TO UPDATE TO DDKQ6 !!!!!!!!!! BUT What u don’t seem to understand is that OUR HARD BRICKED PHONES DO NOT enter into download mode do not turn on and dont even show that they are charging…. all what we get is the yellow button on Odin that stops at the beginning of the update process…….
Again my deepest thank you and gratitude for this CLEAR guide for helping me brick my Ace the hardest way. Purchased my ace a month ago for 290$ without warranty took it today to Samsung service care and they said motherboard needs replacement and it will cost around 200$$$$$$$$$ ………!!!… gr8 we are the test rats of this guide…..
its very unfortunate to hear that but motherboard replacement is nothing to do with the update as both are independent things, the firmware only affects ROM and not any other part! I hope you know what we are talking of!
So, Neal, help us….many people are bricking their phones with this tutorial, don’t you see? You say there is nothing about exchange the motherboard so give us a solution, do a tutorial how to update brick ace to ddkq6!
Thanks
we know all the issues but you can reclaim the device after NOT BEING UPDATED TO CM7. though we have added a note in the article now!
How can I reclaim? I was reading at the internet about jtag service, but i don’t know what it does….do you know?
thanks
you need to apply with DDKQ6 Firmware!

No internet and no service. I couldn’t call anyone! How do i got back to the stock os. what is a good stable rom that wll work for me. i need internet.
WHICH WAS YOUR STOCK OS, YOU CAN FOLLOW THE CORRESPONDING ARTICLE TO UPDATE WITH THE SAME!
ok neal i have a big problem can you help? i flashed cyanogenmod, it works but there is no data connection. so i flashed a few other custom roms, then i lost my network connection. now i cant make phone calls, it says uregistered sim card at the top. it wont connect to my koodo network. i tried flashing stock roms from samfirmware but they dont have my stock rom. I am from Canada and my carrier is Koodo, they dont have that firmware. i managed to restore a backup with cwm. the backup is my rooted stock rom. There is still no network connection. I want to return my phone for a new one that works but I can’t if my phone is rooted and has cwm. The unroot zips aren’t working for me because I have cwm and it wont let me update from sd. I can’t figure out how to get rid of cwm. I can’t flash a stock rom because there aren;t any for me on the internet. All I have is my backup with cwm.
as of now this is the most buggiest version, please update with DDKQ6. As in when the stable version of CM arrives, we will inform you about the same!

kies also doesnot detect my phone

as of now this is very buggy, please move back to DDKQ6
Hello,
I see that u are suggesting to install cwm with rom manager which isn’t compatible with galaxy ace and u have a plenty of chances to brick ur phone with this application.
yes, but as per the procedure given by Cyanogen they prefer ROM Manager than anything!
Once it’s bricked with rom manager u cant recover it by ur self … i had this issue when miss selected the wrong phone on the rom manager list, ther’s no warning or confirmation once u select it the install is started and when u reboot ur phone its the black out QQ
you can recover, but you need to update with DDKQ6 version of firmware!
how long does it take to boot after installing cm 7.1? i can just see the blue android skating over and over again. about how many minutes exactly? please help. i think there’s something wrong. already wiped dalvik, cache, data/factory settings. did it thrice now.
it takes around 5 minutes!
My S5830′s Home button is not functioning. By default it should bring up Task Manager for long press. But it is not. Also I am not able to select menu options while I am in “Download” mode. What to do?
I have DDKQ6
Part 1….
file not found…
help me… =(
i wan flash to ICS…
kindly wait for few more days
Hello Neal. I have this ROM installed since a while back. I have been experiencing a problem that no-one has so far helped me resolve, so I am hoping you will be able to
. Basically, I have been using Link2SD, in order to gain much needed space on the phone. Once I link my apps, I gain huge amounts of space. Then the problem is that once I have finished installing and linking my apps, once I reboot, although the EXT4 partition is still visible, and therefore mounted, the apps are no longer visible!!! This has happened several times, and the last time I tried, it was with a brand new Samsung 16GB micro SD card….the same happened again. Apps2SD does not work in the same way, and certainly does not provide as much free space as Link2SD. Please help me, as I am tearing my hair out at this point, and I am sure it must have something to do with the ROM, as it worked fine on the stock ROM when I tried it, although at the time I only had a 2GB micro SD card.
. David
The other thing which I really fail to understand is that I actually made a CWM complete backup before my apps disappeared, yet when I tried to restore the backup, the linked files showed as 0 in Link2SD!
Thanks, and my apologies if this question does not directly apply to the context of this forum
is this the latest version…if not then can we update it???
n, wait we will be coming with the latest very soon!
dear neal:

dont backup the current rom, you can just let us know on which version you wish to go back, we will help you. reapply the firmware!

Somebody help me please
