Install Gingerbread in Your Own Hand

Within 8 hours, I had re-installing my Android OS twice and doing hard factory reset 6 times. Am I crazy? Yes I am. It's craziest thing I've ever done. And this morning I flashed my phone again. Glad my phone is not damaged with my little experiment :))

Why am I doing this thing? Because my phone had suffer a bad ill. Like a human huh ;p

Nope. I kidding. My Phone getting some errors in system. So, I thought it was easy to flash like I did 5 months ago. But this time the disaster suddenly happens. Not a disaster actually. It's kinda my fault. I didn't get my patient. I took off my battery when my phone take a long reboot. I took off my battery when my Phone suddenly didn't respond. And the effect is my phone get errors. Again and again.

So, now I am posting here trying to help you if you have a trouble like me and you want to flash your android phone. Why? Because bring it to Samsung Center and get it fixed makes you have to spend your money. And I don't want it. I have a motto =p

"Why you have to pay

when you can make it free in same quality"

Don't afraid. It's safe. I've try it. But the important thing is, you should be patient if you want your phone safe :p

In this case, I want to tell about flashing Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830. In other devices, I think it's kinda same way. Just different in 1 or 2 steps.

For information, I found this link in kaskus and another links. I was collect the information from may source and concluded to my own version. Anyway I didn't stole it. I make my own screenshoots. And I put the links together in "source link" in the end of this post :)

2. Cable data.

3. Drivers for your PC. Download it from here and install it.

6. Click START. Wait until the proses is finish. Don't suddenly take off the cable when it still in process. Your phone will freeze. You know what? When first time doing this, the process take a long time. Suddenly I got panic. I thought it was error. And yes I did it. I took off the cable data and and my phone freeze. And I was so scared -,-

7. Last, wait until your phone to reboot automatically. Tadaaaa. You have your new Gingerbread! :)

See? It's not difficult to do. Just keep calm and say "Yes I can do it!" :D

Next time I'd like to tell you about rooting android phone. It can makes you use your phone max. Don't just use and doing nothing when you have smartphone. Use it max, and you get max! And one more. Don't let the phone smarter than you. You are the human and they are just machine =p *colek anak kebelet eksis *ups
