HI there,
I can start my 5830I normally and everything works fine.
I can get to the recovery mode, by vol.+/home/pwr, and everything there works fine
When I vol.+/vol.-/pwr, I got a black screen (the backlight LED is on), and no download mode.
The vol.+/vol.-/pwr used to work and I had flahsed my 5830I a few times. Then I used CWM 5.0.2.6 to bakcup my phone and did one restore. Then I cant get into download mode anymore.
I could connect my phone to computer using SDK. I can use adb reboot recovery to reboot the phone to recovery
But if I use adb reboot bootloader, the phone just boots normally.
I fear that my bootloader has somehow damaged, either by CWM or by my last flash (using odin 1.83, I flashed also the bootloader file and with re-partation checked).
I wonder how I can fix this problem and get into the download mode. I can now use my phone normally and the current system seems to be quite fine. But I still want to have the chance to flash.
Thanks a lot!
Reboot bootloader does nothing because the phone doesn't have an accessible bootloader
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?

Try Power+Home in case you flashed S5830's CWM recovery.

I didn't flash any recovery. I just restored my own back up using CWM.
"CWM 5.0.2.6 "
Maybe you used wrong CWM not for yours S5830i but for S5830 D/B etc
Use only this CWM ClockWorkRec5830i.zip

For galaxy ace 5830i
Try this method
Try this:
1.
Download multiloaderx_v565
2.
Start your phone normally...
3.
When phone started:
Hold down Home key and in multiloader press "port search".
its a forced download mode

Hi,
Just try what khanfri.zakaria says. It will work. I had the same problem.
Hello everyone! Here is my problem.
The home button of my gs2 is broken. I knew that some rom have the function that rebooting into recovery mode when power on.
But somehow, I need to boot into recovery mode when power off.
In addition, I've got a item which can help me get into odin mode when power off. The item in Chinese we call it "Wa mei shen qi"~
I would like to know is it able for me to boot into recovery mode with this? Or any other possible way for gs2 from power off state.
Thanks!

The "Item" you are talking about could be a USB Jig? As you already said: it will take you into download mode but not recovery mode.
I don't know what you mean to say by

Can you tell us why?
For a running device with USB debugging enabled you could run adb reboot recovery to boot into recovery mode. However this is for a running device, not for a device that is powered off.
I don't either fully understand what you're meaning by this.
But as far as i know the only way to access CWM when power off is Power+Home+VolUp, but then ofcourse i'm not a pro at this...yet there could be another way to access Recovery while power off which i haven't found out about.
I don't understand also why you must access Recovery while power off, in your situation (with the home butten broken) it would be easier to get ROM Manager. It has an option to reboot into Recovery mode. Or if you rooted with CF-Kernel, it come with a CWM app that let's you choose if you want to reboot normally, reboot into download mode or reboot into Recovery mode.
and if i may ask, what do you mean by Odin mode? Is it download mode?

Thanks for your informations.
The reason is that I flash a rom in Odin mode, but after that I can't get powered on, it always remains in the starting animation.
I've been in this situation many times, for every time, a wipe data / factory reset in recovery mode will fix the problem. However the problem arises, for this time, my home button is broken.
And I've tried a lot of other roms from Odin mode, it still remains in the starting animation. So I really need a wipe in recovery mode badly.
The "item" may be the same with USB jig from your description.

Yes, for Odin mode, I mean the download mode.
The reason that I need to boot into recovery mode is given in #4. And thanks for your information , but I really need to boot into recovery mode to do a wipe data / factory reset to save my gs2.
boot into recovery/download mode
..so u have a bootloop & ur home-btn is broken..
am i right?
the jig would bring you to dowload mode
install via odin ur rom with repartition..
u will need a 3-parted rom
that should solve your problem..cause i think theres no way to come into the recovery mode if u have a bootloop
[email protected] said:
u can use an app to boot into recovery/download mode
just look at the marketplace which you prefer
- i use stweaks from sieya kernel
the jig would reset the counter and bring you to dowload mode

He can't boot, so that is no option for him unfortunately.
I believe adb can be used when the animation starts, haven't checked it. If so, simply do adb reboot recovery.

Yes, adb can be used during boot, but only if USB debugging was enabled before.

Umm~This may work if adb.exe can get connected with my phone in booting animation. I'll try it later.
You must press on button for a few seconds then click on reboot then take recovery.

you can also use an app called [ Anreboot.apk ] but you must have a root permission ok

I've tried this with adb tool in andriod development SDK.
However during the booting animation, even if Windows Device Manager detect Android ADB Interface, "adb devices" shows no adb connections.
Maybe the only way for me is finding a rom with auto wipe after flashing it by ODIN.
The only way you can get this fixed is get your phone-home button fixed in a samsung repair center ma8..
There's no other way you can go to recovery mode without the home button use...you can use th usb jig only to go into download mode!. Hope this helps.

He is simply not able to boot the device so how do you expect him to go into recovery with a broken home button?
Help me please, why this smartphone can't enter to recovery mode nor download mode, whereas i had done correctly.

Does your phone function properly otherwise?
What button combos are you trying?
What happens when you try to boot to either mode?

Hello,
I tried to reinstall a custom rom but I forgot to install it with CWM so it was installed with the default Android recovery. After the ZIP was installed I rebooted my phone but now it doesn't get any further than the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i logo. I tried to boot in recovery and download mode but both of them doesn't work. I hope some of you can help me. I bricked my phone before but then I could get into download mode but now I don't.
Thanks a lot

Try the following guide to see if you can force open Download Mode through odin mode. Here is the link,
How to unbrick Samsung Galaxy Ace
This guide was meant for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 and hence the Download Mode key combination is different. So make sure the change the Download Mode key combination to your own device. If you can force open the Download Mode this way, then you can try installing the stock rom. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

As you can't enter the Recovery Mode and Download Mode, you have pretty much hard-bricked your phone. Since the above method didn't work, then you can try the USB Jig (not always guaranteed to work). If USB Jig did work, then it will force open the Download Mode so you can flash stock rom back using odin. If USB Jig doesn't work either, then your last option is to consult the Service Center.

Im turning on a Galaxy Ace and it says on the Galaxy Ace startup logo forever.
Is there any way to hard reset it? Trying to put it into Download Mode and/or Safe Mode the same exact thing happens.
When I turn the phone off and charge it thru AC, the battery icon comes on stating it is charging. Does Odin see it in tha moment so maybe I can flash it then? Like I said i cannot get into safe or download mode.
Im leaving the phone on and see if it will completely drain the battery and charge it up again from there.

Well, WhatsApp "self uninstalled" itself as when I tried to see it in the Applications list all that appeared is "com.whatsapp" so I went ahead and redownloaded from the Play Store. It complained about there being low disk space but it told me that it installed it successful. I tried to open it and it said that it had stopped working. So I went ahead and turned it off. And ever since that, I try turning it on and it stays like that.
Like I mentioned, I try entering Download Mode and it stays the same way with the logo.

Can you enter Recovery Mode? If yes, try doing Wipe data/ factory reset and Wipe cache partitions. See if it works. If not, then try using the following guide to force open Download Mode from odin. The guide is meant for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 and thus the key combination mentioned in the guide is different. Since you are using Galaxy Ace S5830i, make sure to hold Vol Up+ Vol Down+ Power to enter the Download Mode. Here is the link,

First of all, there is always a Recovery Mode in your phone. If you haven't installed any separate one's, then you will have the stock Recovery Mode. To enter it, hold on Vol Up + Home + Power button while switching on your phone. Pressing the Download Mode combo normally and pressing the Download Mode combo while your phone is connected to odin is an entirely different thing. Now you can also try the USB Jig but let me tell you its not always guaranteed to work. If USB Jig did work, then it will force open the Download Mode and you install the stock rom back using odin. If none of the above works, then its better to consult the Service Center as it could be a hardware problem.
