If you like what you see then let’s start working. First of all, as usual, before commencing to change something on your phone you should be sure that your personal data can’t be erased. Furthermore, as we are about to change the OS, a full wipe of the system will be required, so it’s important to perform a backup. Only after that you can head to the installation procedure or to other tasks that you must complete. A backup operation can be applied easily as there are many ways in which you can manage the same. There are many apps available on Google Play and it will be a good idea to use them. If you don’t know which app to download or how to use the tools, here are some tips.
Download and install SMS backup and restore apps for saving the text messages from your Galaxy Ace.
Download Call logs backup and restore apps for Android.
If you want to backup the contacts, then you must learn how to sync with Google and use the Android cloud.
You might want to save the internet settings too.
If your phone has a custom recovery image installed then you can backup even the current ROM.
For other file use a computer or a SD card.
Now that you saved the data, you should take care of other things. For being able to update your Galaxy Ace S5830i you must root it first. Also a custom recovery image should be installed on your handset. The root access must be gained as the ROM cannot be flashed on a system that has the factory restrictions installed. The recovery image will be used for installing the update file and for performing the wipe, so it’s a must have. Be aware as when you root the OS, the warranty will get void. So, don’t perform things by yourselves, always use and follow a step by step guide like this one. Anyway, the warranty can be replaced by downgrading to the stock ROM so it will be a good idea to note down the version of firmware which is running on your Ace.
So, now you know how to backup the data and you have noticed that you need to root and install a custom recovery image on your smartphone. The last thing that must be mentioned here is related to the pre requisites. In the following list I have mentioned some operations that must be performed if you want to ensure that nothing bad will happen during the update process. Don’t skip this section as it is the most relevant one. In the end you can safely head to the proper steps.
You must have access to a Windows running computer and to the phone USB cord.
On your PC and device if there are security tools installed, please deactivate them before commencing the steps from below.
Take your Ace and go to “Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging”; check the last option.
Also, check the battery status. If it indicates less than 70% power, go and charge the battery first.
Apply this tutorial only for the Samsung Galaxy Ace model number S5830i, or else you can brick your Android powered device.
