Hey, my phone has been custom ROM’d before by friends using ROMkitchen…. am I ok to go ahead and update my firmware using ODIN or do i have to do something else? Do i need to go and redo another custom ROM instead?

Hi there,
never tried anything with an Ace so I don’t know.
If I remember it right the OPS file is an option file for Odin and is required. I’m not absolutely sure, you should really look for a guide written for the Ace, and a bit more recent than this one :)

Best of luck!

Hi there, no need to worry. You obviously failed the factory reset as you mention but performing a factory reset as you update is only recommended. If it works smoothly just let it be but if it starts acting up a factory reset might help you along.

Thank you for your feedback!

Dear sir,
Can you please send me a link where I can download the following files:
Firmware, Galaxo Rom and Recovery. The links above don’t work in my case.
thanks in advance.

Regards,

Daniel

I just did this on a Galaxy 5 to update from 2.1-update1 to 2.2, and everything went really smoothly – but maybe too smoothly? I didn’t lose anything – not my contacts, my apps, not even my past text messages. I was under the impression all data would be lost. Literally the only change (other than the firmware update in general) was that the phone was in German, but between the six weeks of German I had in middle school and the very easy-to-understand icons, I was able to fix that right away. The phone works though, and now it connects to wifi connections (which it previously did not). Should I be worried?
