How to Unbricked Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Phone
My Samsung Galaxy Note II is currently with Samsung Service Center for an In-Warranty Repair. It's really hard for me to live each day without a smartphone. Though I am using a regular phone (no internet, just a regular phone) as a substitute, I still find myself incomplete (hahaha). So I decided to check my stash of dead/hardbrick/softbrick phones (hahaha, yes you read it right) and I saw my Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 that was given to me by a friend (he used it around 2months and he got it bricked). It does not power on. Tried to read a lot of threads in XDA unfortunately to revive a phone like this requires JTAG device which will cost me a lot than buying another mid high-end Android phone. So I decided to go to the mall near my place and have the phone repaired via JTAG. It cost me Php800 to have it resurrect though I can bring it to Greenhills Mall (famous place when it comes to high-end devices) for a cheaper repair but it's far and going there will cost me extra bucks. So I left my phone and came back after an hour. The phone is now working, yehey! Sadly, they only flashed an old Android ROM which is Froyo. I went home and started messing around with the phone again. Read a lot of threads from XDA developers and came across to some latest ROM. But before I do that I tried to flash a Custom Recovery. And then I bricked the phone. Out of nowhere while I am flashing the file, it stops and just loops back to the Samsung Logo. I tried to look for some fix and tried several of them with no success. To my frustration after paying a large amount just to revive it while waiting for my Note II to be repaired, I kept on reading..for hours..was not able to have my dinner on time..then I found a fix (whew!) that works. Currently, my ol' Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 is now running on the latest Android ROM, Jelly Bean 4.2.2.
And here's what I did:
Requirements:
1. First, you will need Odin Multidownloader. Read this post to find the right Odin Version Compatible for your android Phone.
2. If compatible Odin Version is v3.98 and higher then you need Cooper_v1.OPS. Required by the Odin software. Password yagyagaire (if phone compatible with lower odin version then visit here)
3. Thirdly and lastly you need S5830DDKQ8_S5830ODDKQ7_INU.zip official Android Gingerbread 2.3.6 English.

Well that’s all needed.
Now carefully follow the given instructions:
1.Once you have downloaded the firmware extract it and you will find S5830DDKQ8_S5830ODDKQ7_S5830DDKQ8_HOME.tar.md5 file.
2. Run Odin Multidownloader .
3.Check One Package, Auto reboot and Protect OPS check boxes.
4.Click on OPS button and Load Cooper_v1.0.ops file on it.
5. On the Bottom click on One Package button and load the file S5830DDKQ8_S5830ODDKQ7_S5830DDKQ8_HOME.tar.md5 unbrick android phone
6. Now switch off your Android Phone and take out sim and SD card.
7. Now boot in download mode by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power button simultaneously.
8. Now when your phone starts in the download mode connect it to the PC with USB cable.
9. Now ODIN will display Connected. Now you can click on the Start Button.
10. Now wait for 5-6 minutes and your ODIN will show Pass.
11. Just do one more thing, switch on the phone in Recovery mode (Press home+power button). Now perform wipe data/factory reset and then wipe cache partition. Now reboot your phone and it will open properly.
If all the steps are completed then Unbrick Android Phone tutorial has been a success. Congrats!!
I'm gonna upload all the files/tools that I used in this process this coming days for your convenience.
