Samsung Galaxy Ace is slowly getting popular in India and finally Samsung has released Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread update for Samsung Galaxy Ace. Latest update can be availed using Samsung Kies. This update improves overall performance of the handset. You can easily update your Galaxy Ace yourself at your home using Samsung Kies software.
Changes in Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread
I have found some noticeable changes in the latest firmware update which are as listed below:
- Battery bar at the top of the screen is changed to vertical and GPS icon is changed in the notification area.
- When you press the power button, you will notice a new option that is “Data Network Mode”. This option helps you to activate and deactivate data network usage from power button only instead of going to settings.
- Copy paste functionality is improved.
- There is a change in music player too.
- Icon for network services is changed and a new option of Downloads is added to menu.
- Galaxy Ace will become more faster after updating to Gingerbread 2.3.4.
Update Samsung Galaxy Ace to Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread
Follow the listed simple steps to update your Galaxy Ace to Gingerbread.
- Install Samsung Kies from the CD provided with the handset. If you don’t have the CD, you can download Kies from here and install it on your system.
- You need a latest version of Kies otherwise you will not get the latest version of Android i.e. Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread. Check Kies for any updates and update it if updates are available.
- When the installation is complete. open Kies and connect your phone using data cable.
- As soon as you connect your phone to your PC, you will get a notification that a new firmware version is available and it will ask you to upgrade. Choose Update button to update it now.
- Read all the instruction provided and click on Start upgrade.
- When the update process starts, it will start downloading firmware upgrade components. You also need to take a backup of your contacts and bookmarks when prompted.
- Now the firmware download will start and it will take around 1 hour to complete the upgrade process. Don’t disconnect your phone while upgrade is under process.
- When the update process will finish, a window will pop up saying Firmware upgrade complete.
Now you are using Android 2.3.4 on Samsung Galaxy Ace officially. If you face any problems while updating your firmware, leave your comments here.
Hi,
I tried updating with Kies.
It seems like it gets stuck on Preparing firmware upgrade components. I was on this window for more then 3 hours. I finally got fed up and ended the process from task manager.How much time does this preparation really take? I am using Win 7
I agree man, I have tried updating a 100 times and I have the same problem. Not sure what to do…
I agree with both of u……. i have the same problem….
Please suggest us a solution..
Thanks for the update!!! This really helped me a lot to upgrade my thing.
Hi!!!
Tried this 100s of time, but stucks after dowloading the contents, tried this in win XP as well as in Win 7.
Pls help.
i am having an error during my update, it says insufficient disk space… why? i am using 2GB mem card and my galaxy ace is brand new. Help please? thank you
The insufficient diskspace could be coming from your computer hard-disk and not your phone. Pls check that.
Please help me! MY Kies software does not show the firmware upgrade
It will not show you the firmware upgrade if you are using an older version of Kies. You need an updated version of Kies to upgrade your Galaxy Ace to Gingerbread 2.3.4.
I have tried to upgrade my Galaxy Ace to Android 2.3.4 several times, but got a message, as my handset has no update available. I think this might be because of older version of Kies. I will download and try new Kies. Thanks for sharing.
I am trying to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 the firmware via Kies but as it turns out it doesn’t complete the download & gives the message ” Failed to run firmware upgrade. Unknown error occurred. ”
Please help…..
If you are not able to upgrade it yourself then I suggest you to go to Samsung service center and they will do it for free.
can u tell me how much time it takes to come from step 7 to step 8 generally?
It usually takes around 1 hour. But it depends on internet connection speed.
when ever i have tried to upgrade the firmware , i face the following problem
the kies asks if the update should be done – then i back up contacts and book marks – then the screen says that preparing ace for firmware upgrade – and suddenly the phone disconnects from kies – and again reconnects on its own – and again initiates the same cycle !!!! and in the end i am stuck with the screen depicting preparing ace for firmware up grade !!!!
or how can i resolve this issue ??
how else can i update my ace to android gingerbread ??
Thanks
Zandu, I have the same issue. It just continuously starts the update process over and over.
FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE TROUBLE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. DO NOT PLUG IN ANY OTHER USB OTHER THAN UR GALAXY ACE’S USB. ALL OTHER PORTS SHOULD BE UNUSED.
2.DO NOT TRY TO UPDATE BY USB MODEMS LIKE TATA PHOTON+ OR RELIANCE NETCONNECT. TRY TO UPDATE USING WIFI NETWORK OR BROADBAND.
IT WILL TAKE AROUND 1 HR 15MINS IF IT IS A 1MBPS CONNECTION.
CHEERS!!!
Dear,
I have tried to connect the ACE with Kies, it takes a long time to connect with. after so many attempts it connected. Samsung kies asked for the update. I updated the Kies. After update, there is no firmware update message. I have checked “notify when update is available”. So I could not update the firmware. Please suggest me what to do.
Thanks.
If the update is not available at this moment then you should wait for it. Or go to any Samsung service center near you and they will update it for free.
hi frds,,,,,, I did it successfully…..
Can anyone let me know what will be the improvements i will be able to see …..any user who has already upgraded ???
Samsung Galaxy Ace is one of the most popular in India and it will be using Samsung kies software 🙂 So, i would like to say thanks for given up here 🙂
Hello.
I’ve upgraded my Kies to the latest version. When I sync Kies with my phone, it says
“S/W version in your phone is not an official version. Firmware upgrade of unofficial S/W version is not supported.”
Any help would be appreciated.
*I reset my phone to factory settings, then I tried upgrading my firmware.
Current firmware version : PDA:KC1 / PHONE:KC1 / CSC:KC1 (STH).
Hello,
I have got the same problem. I never upgraded my phone and bought it from a Samsung shop with this firmware.
Current firmware version : PDA:KC1 / PHONE:KC1 / CSC:KC1 (XSP).
I updated Kies, but unfortunately I get this message:
“S/W version in your phone is not an official version. Firmware upgrade of unofficial S/W version is not supported.”
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Jeff
If its saying that its not an official version then you must go to Samsung store and ask them to upgrade for you.
I have been tryin to update my phone from quite sometime now….But right between step 7 and 8 the screen shows connecting and my phone shows downloading on its screen…..What can I do to take care of this….I am using airtel broadband with 2mbps speed…….
You are not supposed to touch the screen of your handset while the upgrade is under process. You should try to keep it on flight mode when you start upgrading your device.
im still can’t upgrade my samsung ace android 2.2 to 2.3…why??
Are you following all the mentioned steps correctly ?
First 7 steps took 20mins but I’m stuck now for hour and a half now with the message:
‘GT-S5830’ firmware upgrade in progress….
Please do not disconnect the cable connected to PC.
Bar is at 0% all the time. What shall I do?
Phone screen:
Downloading….
written with tiny green/yellow letters
Please help!
Will this update remove my messages, memos, images, videos and the other software installed in phone memory and on sd card…??
Please tell,
It will not remove anything from your SD card but it may remove the data from phone memory. It is advised to take backup of everything before updating your firmware. FYI this update didn’t remove anything from my phone.
IMPORTANT…!!!….All of you…..While upgrading your Samsung Galaxy Ace to official Gingerbread 2.3.4 through Kies software….Please assure that your Kies has a latest version…if not…..please upgrade it first……then try to upgrade your Ace…..Upgrade your phone only if you are using hi-speed internet through Wi-Fi…..it takes around 1 to 2 hrs (Please keep patience or wait while upgrade)….Do not use any USB broadband internet device as it’s speed is very low for updating your phone through Kies…..if you still getting any message on Kies while updating or it stops…..try again and again till you get the update to your phone….it’s normal…….All the Best…!!!
Thanks a lot!!
Jus updated my phone. Successfully got it updated..
Looks nice for now. Will update it again after using it for a lit time.
in my pc it is showing that firmware is already update but its not showing the updates please please please help me……………………….
finally….after 7 unsuccessful tries………………….phone upgraded:)

what does it mean…….as it doesn’t result in anything….
Shit! Gingerbread for Galaxy SL is not available yet! What is wrong with Samsung?
I upgraded my samsung galaxy ace. But after the update when I connect it to my laptop it doesn’t show up either in Kies or the sd card mode. Someone help. It just starts charging only. If you want to connect it to ur pc you have to go in settings development and still doesnt connect but the usb mode screen shows up
If you are on USB debugging mode, then disable it. Choose ask on connection and select samsung Kies.
When you connect your phone to your pc thru usb cable, one notification will appear in your phone’s notification bar, tab on it, then your phone will ask you to connect, then tab the connect, then you can open the folders from your pc…cheers.

Hi.
while upgrading by the above said method, it showed an error after 70% as error in downloading file. When i tired next time it is not installing. What else can i do to upgrade
is there a way to back up all the text messages too?
if during the firmware update of ace to android 2.3 it shows operation/session time out it means that the page has been left inactive for a long time and to prevent hacking the operation times out so kindly open ur browser and browse certain web pages
for e.g open ur mail and refresh that page every few min

Hi, I would like to update my phone’s samsung galaxy ace os/firmware to gingerbread 2.3.4 but and when connected to the computer, Kies states that “this version of the device cannot be updated”. Why is this so? My phone is running on android version 2.2.1; baseband version S5830DXKA9 and build number FROYO.DXKA9. Is is because the latest version of android os for galaxy ace is not available in my country (Singapore) yet? Please help, God bless x
i got the same problem…have u found the solution yet?
Hi i m using galaxy ace 2.2 froyo version.
Is it upgradable in India to 2.3 gingerbread?
Want to upgrade your Samsung Ace to gingerbread 2.3.4 (DDKQ6)….Don’t look for any other method….JUST Go to the nearest Samsung Mobile Service Centre……they will upgrade your Ace in 1hr for free…..it is the safest way to upgrade your Ace……Don’t upgrade ur phone on Kies…..it is risky as your phone can get stuck……can hang or can brick…..so better to go to service centre….and enjoy the buttersmooth ACE…
Got an Ace running on FROYO 2.2.1. After installing Kies and connecting on the phone upgrade from KA7 to KC1 was recommended. When trying to upgrade the phone freezes after about 20min with the word “Downloading…..” on screen. Phone cannot switch on or off, just the battery removal unfreezes it.
Is there any special mode to enter before upgrade commences? Should the phone be running in normal mode before doing the upgrade?
plzz help ive downloaded the latest version of kies and it shows “This version of the device cannot be updated.”
Current firmware version : PDA:KA9 / PHONE:KA9 / CSC:KA9 (STH)
plzz help
Thank u.. i installed it successfully…
Hey thanks a lot for this info. It helped me in upgrading my phone to Gingerbread without any issues!! 🙂
My net speed was 256kbps and it took me around one and half hours for the whole procedure!! But without any hitch!! 🙂
The best change that Gingerbread brought is now my phone can play AVI files!! (with help of MOBO player) Isn’t that incredible!! Also, my phone used to record videos in QVGA(420×320) but now it does in VGA(640×480) WOW!! Couldn’t ask for more!! 🙂
Go for it guys!! Its very easy!! )
Slight mistake in previous post.. For QVGA the resolution is 320×240.. 🙂
This is one of the new version and has an lot of advantages in it. Thanks a lot 🙂

Hi,
Can I use these steps for Galaxy Fit? I want to update it to Gingerbread, but I don’t know where to start.
I checked it with Galaxy Ace only. Try connecting your device with Galaxy Fit, if the update is available for your device too then these steps will work for you as well.
after is start the update process after download its shows the error that the update manager has stopped working
very very undestanding
im currently updating my phone and its now in step 7. its been more than 20 minutes in step seven and the progress % its still 0%. Is it downloading it or not?. my phone display says “downloading” with a yellow color! is it suppose to just be like that, like not show any percent progress!
even i am facing same problem .. any one can guide wats the problem and solution…??
hi dear i m facing problem in update progress. the part it gets stuck over there and there is a statement shown that update stopped working windows cant find a solution.
download is over but installation is problematic plz help me……………
in short.
as shown in the above figures image 6th is over but in the 7th image it shown the error.
donow what to do
It shouldn’t show any error in 7th step if you are following all the steps correctly. Moreover the error “Windows can’t find a solution” doesn’t make any sense as it is not finding any solution, it’s just downloading the firmware update in 7th step. I think you are doing something wrong at your part.
Im having trouble updating galaxy ACE from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4. Kies isnt offering any update. Any ideas please? I rooted my phone. Or is there just some other safe alterative way. You can write on my email too.
Thanks
Kies don’t provide any update for rooted Android phones.
its shows connect the device after firmware upgrade..plz help
when i downloading the file, it is no problem..but when it finish downloading, my phone will auto disconnected and the upgrade process ended, how to solve it?
is there anyone who reply at least for the questions……?
Try to download and install couple of times, it will update automatically.
Because i also faced trhe same issue but after couple of times I am able to do so.

I had some problem with my Samsung Galaxy ACe Device.while i was updating Gingerbread on my device After complete all process which u mentioned above my device is not started Again Ca any body please give any solution of this?
@Saurabh
If you followed the steps correctly then your device can’t stop functioning as its official update. It will not harm your device. If you are not able to start your phone then I advice you to get it to service center.
My galaxy ace is updating for 30 mins, and status is still 0%. Should I wait? sorry for my bad english
I have updated my Kies SW but still it doesn’t shows any firmware updation for my Ace.
What to do??????

I got my phone HTC wildfire unlocked to android version 2.3.4 and now gps or maps wont work unless i have a wifi connection? Any idea hw to make it function!
@Retail Panda
Hi
What do you mean by unlocked ? This tutorial upgrades the firmware not unlock the phone.
BTW Android uses Google Maps and it do not work without internet. You can find some other maps application on Android Market that works without internet.
Simardeep!
A dialogue box with msg “preparing firmware upgrade components…” is running continuously.How much time I need to wait? I am using Tata Photon Plus.I have a samsung galaxy ace.2.2.1. Please advise.
What speed are you getting for download ?
I dont think speed is a problem.The moment it starts from ” Prepare for firmware upgrade”, the phone disconnects from kies.And then within 1 or 2 minutes, The “prepare for firmware” completes.After that “preparing firmware upgrade components…” screen comes and never goes. I think because of phone getting disconnected automatically is a problem here.I tried installing drivers from kies itself but that also didnt help.Please guide..
It happens due to slow internet speed most of the times. I followed all these steps and I listed them exactly how I upgraded my phone’s firmware. There is one more firmware upgrade available with Kies now. I’ll upgrade my phone soon and I’ll inform you if I get the solution.
Dear sir,
I had also face the same problem and now after step 6 comes “preparing firmware upgrade components” with no downloading %age . Pls. help is this due to slow internet connection.
thanks in advance.
It is taking too long to upgrade.. Y so??
Your internet speed may be slow for this. What speed you getting for your internet ?

Hi Simrandeep,
Is Kies a free software? Why I ask this question is, the site you have mentioned asks credit card information for membership? Is is necessary to give the credit card details to use Kies?
Yes, Kies is a free software. It don’t ask for Credit Card. I checked the link again and I am able to download from there without any CC. Just click on Download Kies and that’s it.
Hellouuu… im stuck on the “firmware upgrade in progress” … my phone says “Downloading…” and that was ONE HOUR ago,,, should i still wait??? does it take SO long??… what happens if I just disconnect???
I just Tried to download something else and my speed was at 12kbps 😛 … so.. maybe is internet speed
