If you�re not familiar with this stuff then stop right now. Although it is very rare that your Galaxy Ace will get bricked or damaged but still I strongly recommend to follow all the instructions properly as they are mentioned below.

Pre-Requisites:

• Your device must be charged at least up to 60% so as to decrease the risk of interruption during the ROM flashing process.

• I highly recommend you to backup all your phone data and settings including contacts, messages, call logs, memos etc. to external SD card or on your PC. This is important as everything gets wiped in the last step of this procedure.

• Backup EFS folder present in your phones system directory. This folder contains all your phones specific information such as the IMEI, wireless devices MAC addresses, product code, and much more. So a backup of this folder is essential. There is always a risk that this EFS folder might get corrupted. If so happened, your device will be completely useless & will no longer be recognized by your carrier.

• Make sure you have installed mobile specific drivers on your PC. This is recommended so as to recognize your Galaxy Ace when connected via USB cable. You can install them by installing Samsung Kies or manually install them from the link given below:
