as always i do on my galaxy tab i thought will be just
1) start in download mode
2) start odin & flash with the firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/
3) done !
and I was so wrong :)
I always getting the connection error / setup fail .. i've tried using various version of odin v1.85 - 4.38
And I first thought that it could be the usb driver is having issue or there is anti-virus blocking it !
After all it need is just the Cooper_v1.0.ops to be loaded and it work like charm :)
** For those who struggling to get Odin to work on your ACE / S5830 , please do download the ops file and load at the OPS section
