How to Update Samsung Galaxy ACE S5830 with Official DDKQ8 Gingerbread 2.3.6 Firmware


Samsung Galaxy Ace LogoFor all those who are having Samsung Galaxy ACE S5830 smart phone can now roll up their sleeves as an all new update has arrived which is a Gingerbread 2.3.6 Firmware version and is dubbed as DDKQ8. This firmware is officially rolled out for Indian users and since it doesn’t come with the boot loader, you can easily apply on any of the ACE S5830 smartphone. In the due course of this article we will also be checking out on what are the pre update instructions followed by which we will check out the detailed tutorial on how to apply the same. We are not having the exact change log on what are the things which are new and improved but there are some minor performance fixes which have been done in this update. In this update there is an all new option of Lock Screen which resembles more like the screen lock for S2.

Note: Just in case if you are on any of the custom ROM firmwares or say if the device is rooted, then the rooting access will be revoked. The best part is the warranty can be reclaimed after applying the update. Just in case if you wish to root the device after applying this firmware, we will soon be coming up with an article which will help you to root the device on DDKQ8 firmware. It was the last time when we saw on how you can update with DDKQ6 update.

Rooting Information: In the process of this firmware update, the phone won’t be rooted as this firmware is the official release released by the Samsung Electronics Ltd.

Enhancements in DDKQ8 Gingerbread 2.3.4 Release:

  • Improved Battery Life,
  • RAM DUMP Mode error solved,
  • Home screen lag and the brightness bug has been solved,
  • Stability fixes have been induced in this version,

Disclaimer: Neither we, nor developer should be held responsible for any damage happened to your device in the process of following the instructions mentioned in this article. It’s very unlikely that there will be any issues but just in case if at all there are any issues then we are committed to help you in solving the same.

Pre Update Instructions:

  • In the process of firmware update process, there is a possibility that the data may get lost or corrupted. So to safeguard the data you need to back up the same with the help of below mentioned steps.

SMS – Use “SMS Backup & Restore app”,
Contacts – Sync with the Gmail application,
Call Log - Call Log and Restore
Images, Songs, Videos, Files – Copy to internal / External SD Card,
APN and MMS Settings – Note down from the path “Applications > Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names

  • Minimum charge left in the phone should be 60% so as to ensure that the phone doesn’t get turned Off in the middle of firmware update.
  • Up next you need to disable all the Security suites in your computer and uninstall all the antivirus apps in your phone. Enable the USB debugging in your phone from the path “Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging”. The USB Debugging option should be ticked. USB Debugging Mode can only be enabled once you disconnect the phone from computer. USB Debugging should be ticked.

So assuming that you have followed all the above mentioned instructions, you can now proceed to the next page where we have summed up detailed instructions on how to apply this update.

        Neela I’m facing the same issue. When i go into the download mode, it takes you to RAMDUMP Mode (ARM9 mode). The Odin detects the phone and i start the process but the timer just keeps going on.

        Have also gone to the recovery mode and wiped data and partition but no effect.

        Please make it clear

  14. Bijay says:

    Excellent and painless upgrade routines. Worked fire on my Ace from ver 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 without any loss at all. That was a first time experience as when I upgraded from Froyo to 2.3.4, it was data was wiped out (expectedly).

  45. miha says:

    Worked like a charm… Why do you suggest Wipe data/factory reset? I don’t want to lose personal data. Let’s give it a try for a couple of days to see if everything is working.

  59. Shreekanth Shivram says:

    Hi Pradeep -

    Upgraded to this one a week back ..Everything went smooth ..Thanks for your step by step procedure …One request though – in your zip file that contains the update, could you seperate ODIN from the zip and keep it seperate. I already had the ODIN but had to download it as part of zip and since my connection speed is not that great, took real long time …

    Although most of them mentioned about better battery post this upgrade, well i did not find such a huge difference. But other things like call receive and unclock screen etc is cool …

    Regds

  66. sumanth says:

    Hi PPL,
    I recently updated my galaxy ace to DDKQ8 firmware. The appearance of the lock screen is changed and it looks good , thats good. But I have noticed the following problems

    1. When I start the FM radio and try to change any channel, the phone hangs and becomes too slow to respond. Even after killing the radio application using task manager, I am not able to get my phone working again. The only way to make it working again is to restart the phone.
    2. I usually enable GPRS only when need and turn of when not required. The GPS does not start sometimes even after ‘ENABLE PACKET DATA’ option. Again , I need to reboot the phone to get it working again.

    Anybody facing similar problems with your phone ? can you share your experience.

  94. geekinsai says:

    I just try this 2 hours ago. Facts to keep in mind:
    - Use Odin 4.42 for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830- When locating the .ops file, the programa (ODIN) must detect the file as the phone model (in this case GT-S5830).- If the method keeps showing the MBIIB, you must detect if the program is the good one.- The following page show the differents version of ODIN and the correct .OPS file. (Spanish inside, so grab a translator if you want).

    Follow me on @geekinsai:twitter

    Hi Neal,

    I have updated the latest firmware DDKQ8 to Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830. I am facing some music player issue. I play the music through headphone. I get the call while music is playing. Music pauses and I receive the call, finish talking and disconnect the call. After call the music should play where it has paused, but here it does not restart. I don’t hear it in my headphone. I can play music through my phone speaker but not in my headphone. If I need to hear music in headphone I need to restart the phone and play. Again if I get call while playing music through headphone it gets stopped. I am facing this problem in previous firmware too i.e. DDKQ7.

    Please help!!.
