Also when you have formated SD card you will have to put that ROM back on
Also when you drag and drop a zip wait til it fully finish download you can see it from the popup box on your pc
 
BRAINZ2013, there is NO rom in this world that can actually work on both S5830 and S5830i. Like i said they have a completely different hardware inside, the S5830i does not have a separate gpu, its all integrated into one chipset hence making things quite different between the two models.
The S5830i does not even have a CM9 rom let alone a CM10 rom or custom roms based on that!! The OP has already been quite lucky that flashing that rom on S5830i has merely softbricked the device and not destroyed it completely, it would not be wise to push it further.

Now as for the sd card and pc problem, i think its a problem with the drivers.
The OP can try different settings, try a different sd card and try using a different pc, but after seeing that the cwm is not much of help, i'd suggest to just flash stock firmware via Odin, and yes this requires the phone to connect to the pc.
Now you need to start the odin program and put the phone in download mode, then the pc should be detecting the phone given the correct drivers are installed. You seem to be trying to get the pc to recognise the phone while the phone is not booting, that never works, you need to get odin installed and running, the odin will recognise the phone when connected to pc and started in download mode do not expect the pc to detect the phone if odin is not working.
Use the unbrick tutorial posted above and follow the instructions very carefully, use the firmware for your region only and not for any other country otherwise your carrier will not work. This will brick your phone back into the out of box state and from there on you can root it, flash cwm and custom roms and whatever you want.
 
Good did you get the op a stable firmware to flash.the op stated he got it from his friend do u know which one firmware he can use .:eek:
 
look guys lets all just get along lol...

cant flash via odin because the pcs never seen this phone before and the drivers are not working when its in the stuck mode its in

and

i cannot get clockworkmod recovery replaced by anything as that has been damaged in someway shape or form

i need to unbrick it so that i can use it...

id like it back on stock rom an basically stock everything..

if that is do able please let me know

The op Dont know which one he has do u know the URL only gives a list
And I Dont see 5830i in that list:eek:

What more does he need, know your country, know your device model and your carrier if you have a carrier locked device.
Type S5830i in the search, find the country with your model name, click on the model name next to the firmware that you have chosen.
It gives a download link along with instructions on how to flash, although i don't think these instructions are complete because when i use odin, i am required to use an ops file also but here its nowhere given, also most tutorials on xda ask to use a pit file along with this so i suggest to go with xda.

Have you installed odin yet?
Your phone is not booting into the rom, it will not get recognized no matter what. You need odin, only via odin can you flash the firmware and bring everything back to stock.
If you install odin, install the drivers, connect the phone to the pc and start it in download mode, the pc will detect the phone.
Normally when everything is running and you connect the phone to pc then pc will detect the phone, but since the rom is not working, it cannot detect it, it will simply charge the phone, so what i am trying to say is that through Odin with phone in download mode you can successfully connect the phone to the pc. You will still not be able to do anything else with the phone like mass storage or anything, its only for flashing stock firmware. It will wipe out everything from the phone and do a fresh install of the android operating system on the device, all the defective malfunctioning things on the phone will be wiped clean. Just what you want.
 
Wow how did you brick and you should ask the person that is confusing you what is it he wants to do cause as I said before that it can be done and here it is

Update Your Samsung Galaxy ACE GT S5830i with Android 4.1.1 Jeally Bean

**

When it comes to custom ROMs firmware, the*Galaxy Ace*users can choose from a long list of updates, though they should be aware that not all the OS improvements are working properly. Also, not all the ROMs can be installed on both versions of the device, the S5830i and the S5830, therefore you must check the compatibility first. Anyway, today, I will teach you how to update the S5830i variant of the Galaxy Ace to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 OS and this by installing the Jellyblast custom ROM firmware.

This can be found here since u keep bricking I let the Bricker keep throwing bricks but look at here
