I apologize for this thread as Im sure this has been answered before, just can't find it. A while ago I had backed up my stock rom so I could try custom ROM's. Unfortunately just before flashing one I accidentally did a format on my microSD card with the backup of the stock ROM that came on my a500 so it got blown away . I have downloaded stock roms in the Development threads but there is a large list of different ones. I basically want to get the original ROM that came with my tablet so I can use OTA again. The stock ROMS I have tried keep saying "Poor network coverage ...." when I try to check for an OTA update. Also I live in the USA is there a region specific ROM that I need to get to ensure GPS works properly? Seems that none of the ROMS I have tried can get a lock on my location even if the prop file shows "US" Any help is greatly appreciated.

that will work for you but no placeto upload it.there is a download link to it as well in Acer recovery installer.

Son of a .... lol. Thank you. Im gonna purchase a license for Acer Recovery Installer I'll try that first. Thank you
UPDATE: I got a stock rom and appears fully restored thank you. Quick question though. There are about 4 or 5 different stock rom builds. Does it matter which one to use? Or should I get the highest version numbered one?
I'd also like to know, which rom did you get? Link and your steps please. It'd really help me out.

I have nothing to add. But this thread got funny.
that that issue im also want to ask!
i allready download the stock rom at the link stok rom above, but my thor kernel is still eksist or if i press the power button and the volume the system reboot into a thor kernel. how can i get the kernel just like an original rom?
thank's
Your kernel should be stock. But what you're describing sounds like the recovery which is Thor's Clockwork. That should be the one you want if you want to keep flashing different ROM's and/or Kernels.
The way I got my tab back to completely stock is in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231005

All the roms on the development section read the posts to see what you want .
Rom Kitchin would be my recommend
and tell me is it possible to return back to original firmware if i'm not satisfied with downloaded one?
NOT unless you save your original rom .
However you can get back to Stock Samsung rom that's the firmware before its been customized by the phone network .

Seriously dude, if you can’t give an answer, you are allowed to not post anything and waist more space. If you really feel you need to say something, direct the user, or do something useful.
Darkys rom is probably the best - at least the one I enjoy most.
Ps. Even though your question borders on being General, if you want to ask ROM related question please do so in the "Galaxy S I9000 Q&A", before someone die.
thanks JJEgan and everyone for support, i'll try some roms!
Hey Guys,
I saw this posted in the long thread but not sure where abouts it was, can anyone provide me the link to get it? Just the stock Australian ROM for the x5 I'll mirror it on my site when I get it.

im not sure what the "stock australian" is, do you mean "oversea b135SP01 release"?
you can click here to download.
i think all of b135sp01 rom based on the same kernal, except "UPDATE_CUST.APP", contained network operator's apps.

The Australian one is the "Australia Roadhound".
There are a lot of ones there.
Hope this helps.

Sorry for hanging out in the Fascinate section, As i am loyal to my I4G... But i have to get my 10 posts before i can post to dev sections regarding my phone and rom... So anyway im gonna flash rom on my brothers fascinate and would like opinions on reliable, stable, Gingerbread 2.3.4+ based rom. Thanks for your understanding.
I am running yesterdays CM7 Nightly (63) with the latest Glitch Kernel and it's hands down the best android experience I've had to date.

Scroll down to "First time flashing CM 7 to your Fascinate (or coming from another ROM)?" and follow the instructions there.
When you get to step three download the files below
ROM- Download the latest nightly here.
I'm running 63, but I doubt there are many major differences with 64.
Kernel - Latest Glitch Kernel. I'm using the V12 Beta, Medium Voltage
Then follow the rest of the instructions.
I think your quick fuse and assumptions have led us down a path i dont want to go down, i sent you a fried request because I felt like a jack ass? I also corrected the post where i call myself a noob and inflected with italics and underline showing I AM A noob! So can you help me? Thanks for your patience as i am a noob!
EDIT: i think our posts are crossing paths, Ill leave it as Im sorry, and I accept your appologies droidstyle. I am here to learn and have monitored this site regularly, while only recently needing to post in the dev section of my I4G for bug issues, i needed 10 posts to do so... And I learned how to flash my brothers fascinate at the same time! Thanks for your help everyone, and droidstyle is on my "im not mad with" list

thanks you very much!!!!! You rock~
here is a great guide for installing any mtd based gingerbread rom such as cm7,miui, aosp, vgb. The title states its for vanilla gingerbread but it works for any of those roms, just replace vgb v6 with the cm7 nightly build of your choice. The links rudacris posted are spot on also.

when you have a stock kernel it deletes the cwm after reboot.
Follow steps in droidstyles instructions.
sum it up:
Download latest cm7 put it on your sd card
Odin CWM located in post for CM7, on first powerup three finger boot
delete data and cache then go advanced delete dalvik cache
then flash Zip from SD card. when that is done Boom reboot and welcome to CM7
Hey Everybody,
first of all, Happy Merry Christmas,
guys, I try to understand if what I looking for can be done or if there is some way to do so.
I find many NAND Android ROMs which are without DataOnExt, for example HyperDroid-CM7.
But I will be glad to know if can be possible to install DataOnExt after flashing the ROM on NAND.
someone can tell me if this is possible? Please...
Cheers in advance..

Dear Marvlesz,
I was writing a PM to you just to ask you about that but I changed my mind and I opened this thread,
I saw that thread and like always you make me a criminal
That thread is a lot too complicated to make it right, there is not any easy way?
I mean flash DataOnExt anfter installation or something similar?
Haha, I am not making you a criminal or anything, but rather YOU are making yourself a criminal.
I mean seriously, here is a quote of that post:
How is this done?
The Easy way - Thanks to @Kokotas (Note that I have not updated Kokotas' .zip file to include the recent changes (20th October 2012) (See The Long Way below)
Visit the post (quoted below), thank @Kokotas, download the .zip from the post, flash it in recovery and lets us know how it goes. Did I tell you to make sure you have a NANDROID backup?

I noticed that you rarely thank those who try to help you, or even manage to help you!
Thanks by words is not beneficial for them as much as pressing the thanks button. The button is there for a reason.
I also ask you kindly to go over your past threads, such as the almighty battery life thread, and thank everyone who tried to help you. Not just by saying "Thanks!", but by pressing their thanks button!
An example is shown on the above post, the thanks button is located right next to the "Quote" button.
I click thanks for you.
Last one thing, the DataOnExt have to be flasher via recovery, buy I do not have the recovery installed on my Phone, I got Android on NAND which was installed via MAGLDR in Flasher Mode.
Now if I will flash the Recovery my Android will be deleted, right?
I can't find any explanation for this, do I have reinstall all again?
I'm afraid you'll have to reinstall everything from scratch .
Why are you using the flasher anyway? All ROMs that use flasher are old and outdated .
(By the way, I didn't mean just thank me, I meant everyone.)

ACA Gingerbrad was only in this way before the release of 13-12-12 for NativeSD and NAND also via Recovery.

not so, , , OP could use cwm that runs from sd card, and use that to flash the dataonext.zip to the current android, , HOWEVER, , the fact that he has no cwm on there already tells us that the version of android he is using is probably the original proof of concept (desire stock) and may or may not work with an ext anyway (its not rooted, for a start), so OP would be better picking a more up to date rom anyway (one with dataonext built in would be a good start) and flashing again anyway.

I did that on one of my two HD2, 1 have Gingerbrad and the another one have ICS 4.0.4 but currently ICS give me big problems to run programs which Gingerbrad do not have. On ICS I can install the apps but they crash after run them.
So now I try to keep my Gingerbrad but expand it with DataOnExt, anyway run CWM from sd is a good idea, I will give a shot on that, if something go wrong I will reinstall all from scratch again.

I was skeptical when I wrote that sentence, because I knew you'd come and say something like that. Because that happened before.
But I also wanted him to cope with the rapid development of the HD2 and the recoveries. Besides, that ROM is outdated anyway, i.e. the ACA gingerbread.
Just went over to sprint the other day and got this version that ha 5.1.1 installed out of the box. Been searching around and have yet to find anything that even list this version/build but see many others listed.
Is there a root/Pre-root rom that will work on this variant?
I second this! I have been searching for any info on rooting this specific device without luck! I don't mind doing research on how to do it and finding out how my self, just can't find anything at all to do so thus far!
Root for SM-G530P
I third this someone please help...
Before you get into flashing anything on the device....please be sure to enable OEM Unlocking under developers option.
Also, there seems to be a twrp recovery, however, I have not tested it out myself yet...when I do so I will let you all know if it's success or not.
Another thing, I think it's highly possible that the phone will require a "permissive" kernel...not too sure yet. I will advise shortly...
Ok I got news. The phone has been semi-rooted, I was right...it requires a permissive kernel in order for the phone to boot up once more. The people that come in mind when it comes to permissive sprint kernels are Freeza & Djvoleur. They can probably cook something up if they have the source code for this phone already.... also, we need a working twrp or philz recovery.... the ones provided do not work... meaning that it would be redundant to have a permissive kernel...if we don't have a working custom recovery to flash it over with.... unless there's another way to flash the zip file or maybe just the boot.img? I will keep updating this if I find anything further...
