Received a brand new Ace yesterday, and immediately rooted it with super one click with no problems.
However I then tried to run the 'Galaxy Ace Unlock apk' which I'd found elsewhere.
It generated an unlock pin, but after rebooting it stuck on the Galaxy Ace flash screen. After 5 minutes I pulled the battery out, waited, then rebooted. Now it doesn't even get to the Galaxy Ace screen when switched on.
The screen backlight comes on (with a black screen) for a couple of seconds, then off, then on - but it never gets any further.
So far I've tried
- Flashing Stock Froyo via Odin
- Flashing VillainRom via Odin
In both cases the phone enters download mode, Odin completes all steps without error, but on reboot I am left with the black screen of death again!
Anything else I could try?
I have the same problem.
Have you found a solution?

Hey!
Dose you RESET FACTORY SETTINGS and FORMAT CACHE in recovery, before flashing with ODIN?
CHEERS!
Did the light lit when you entered the download mode? That's the indicator.
I got the same proble, tried several firmwares with odin but, when the phone reboots it starts flashing again
Hey!
You all, try THIS one.

The same thing happens to me, Anybody has any idea?
Just send it to the service center.
No other recovery method is know.
I have been in every forum arond for this kinda brick and there is no solution for YOU to do. Also there is absolutely no way for Samsung to see either say that after the first boot the battery went dead and it never started again. It will be covered by your warranty and brand new ace! Now dont go making stupid mistakes again hope i helped

Apk/sim bricked my phone.
Unlock Apk also bricked my phone in the same manner.
The app generating the code is not the problem on it's own, it's when you put the "other" Sim card in and reboot that does the damage.
I got a buzz when i could still get Download Mode and Odin gave me a PASS when i reflashed, but alas the phone never rebooted and it still flashed black at me.
I'm trying everything to bring it back to life before it goes to the Service Centre and i have to give them some blag as to why it's bricked.
Other than Download Mode i can get "Emergency Dload Mode"(ARM9) & RAMDUMP.

Even Samsung don't have an easy way to repair it, hence they replace the mainboard to fix the issue.
I just followed the instructions for unlocking my bootloader and now every time my phone starts to reset, all that happens is it loads a bit, then a blinking red light goes on, then it starts all over again... It says that I am unlocked. ATT motorola atrix 1.83 gingerblur

I had this. It's a soft brick and just flash 1.8.3 or any froyo sbf (1.2.6,1.5.7,1.8.3) with rsd and voila!
Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much! It worked perfectly!!!! Now I am going to go and find other ways that I can mess with my phone that could possibly brick it again!
P.S. Am I still unlocked? The unlocked thing went way...

unfortunately no since you flashed the official stock firmware. Just flash the unlock file with rsd again and once rebooted it should show up the unlocked text, no fastboot required
I bought this phone off craigslist, and the screen comes up "sim card removed, log into motoblur...". OK now I can't get in touch with the guy I got it from to get me past this and reset.
So, I go to the boot menu, get around this and try to do a factory reset on the phone. It then displays the message "failed to boot 2".
How do I get around this and get it working? Sorry I'm a bit of a noob at all this, so any help would be much appreciated.
It's running 2.3.4 if that matters, I have no idea what's been done to it.

I bought a couple of faulty phones off eBay with the hope of fixing them.
I have an Xperia Ray st18a that gets stuck on the Sony boot screen.
I can go into flash mode and tried updating. it appeared to go ok, no errors, but still stuck on boot logo.
I can't get into fastboot. The LED turns green and a battery icon appears on the screen for a moment. The only device that shows up in device manager at this point is a drive. I tried updating the driver to the one provided on the various fastboot threads here, but it says it's not for this device.
I suspect it's not getting into fastboot mode.
I've tried flashing stock roms using flashtool and they seem to flash ok, but still get stuck on boot logo.
Any ideas of what I can try?

But you are sure you installed drivers from flashtool folder -> drivers ? Cause normally it should work. Or the bootloader is locked and it's another problem...
To get fastboot working you must have sdk tools and here is the modified android_winusb file, that xperia devices are supported by fastboot. Maybe look there
Yea, done all that. It looks like this one has a locked bootloader and is SIM locked, so fastboot is disabled. So there's no way for me to get to fastboot as I can't get past the boot screen

But if it boots up until the screen appears it shouldn't b bricked...

I don't know excactly, but pc companion -> support zone -> I don't know. There is an option for repairing, don't know what it does, maybe give it a shot
But I think it'll just reinstall the stock rom again, cause you start with your phone plugged off and then you have to plug it in in flashmode, so I think it's like flashtool...
Just tried PC Companion. It updated the firmware no problem, but still getting stuck on boot screen

Sorry, I ended up selling the phone as it was bricked and unable to be revived.
I have the same problem. I'm a noob, so please bear with me =). I was able to root the st18. It came with a gingerbread. I wanted to try and upgrade it so I flashed ST18i_4.0.4_T.ftf, got stuck on the start screen. It showed the new Sony logo then the sony ericsson logo then loops. I can go to recovery, however I'm stuck (yes, noob me). I have another st18 - can I use it to fix the other? If any can direct me how to fix it, I will be eternally grateful. =)

I have exactly the same problem with my once perfectly working st18i. it was uk orange branded, sim locked with a unlockable bootloader. I did a seus update as recommended by sony and it messed the phone up. I should have done it over the air only.
Any help or advice would be appreciated as the phone is mint and Id love to use it again.
Hello all,
Hope all is well with everyone.
My phone decided to freeze on me and gave it a force reboot since then it's stuck on the boot logo. I can't turn it off unless the battery is drained and I can't turn it on (via power button), unless booting in Download Mode.
Now, download mode is the mode my phone can boot in and I know that I have to re-flash the stock-rom on my phone in order for it to work.
I gave that a try but a message on my phone pops up after having initiated the flash in Odin saying: ''SW REV, CHECK FAIL, DEVICE 3, BINARY 2'' and if I try a different PDA it reads: SECURITY CHECK: BOOTLOADER
Since this plan didn't work, I tried flashing a TWRP recovery on my phone. But after having tried that a message on my phone pops up proudly saying: ''Blocked by FRP Lock'' - which I found out I can only disable once I have full access to the settings on my phone - which requires a successful boot.
It's quite frustrating because I never had a problem with my phone and this issue occurred right after I updated my phone with the latest security update that Samsung pushed to my device.
Can somebody help me please?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you. However I already tried that one. After multiple attempts, the phone remains stuck on the ''Galaxy S6 Edge+'' screen and won't continue.
I already had the feeling that this may be a hardware malfunction.
I bricked my phone and tried recovering it via Smart Switch - as a last resort - SW successfully installed the stock firmware on my phone but whilst rebooting, it remains stuck on the ''Galaxy S6 Edge+'' screen.
I think my phone is officially dead and that after the new update? Crazy if you think about it.

Still won't work - It remains stuck on the Galaxy s6 edge + logo after flashing.
Download mode is the only feature that I'm able to access - Recovery mode or booting up the OS? Not a chance.
Rooting and/ or flashing new recovery gets blocked by FRP Lock and Bootloader.
I have seriously no idea what to do now.

You have G928F = that means your bootloader is unlocked by default.

I know that, I've noted that down in my first post on this thread. The thing is however is that I DON'T have access to my OS - which ultimately makes me unable to disable FRP lock.
By trying another firmware I get the Sw rev, check fail, device 3, binary 2
- Trying the Europe firmware - whether it is BTU (UK) or PHN (Netherlands) - the flashing WORKS but it won't boot up past the Logo screen - it remains stuck.
The only feature if have access to and works perfectly is the download mode.

Sw rev, check fail, device 3, binary 2. This isnt really an error message and shouldnt affect anything. When you flash the BTU or PHN firmware and it gets stuck on logo screen... how long are you leaving it like that? I ask because the first boot can take a while.
You can always try the DDE firmware from sam mobile. You may also neet a pit file with it too.

Is it stuck on the "powered by android screen" or the next screen the "samsung" logo?
Thats strange because if all else fails smart switch would normally fix it.

It's stuck on the ''Powered by Android'' logo.
This same issue reminded me of my Galaxy s2 back in the day - same with my current Edge+ - it stuttered, froze, rebooted itself a couple of times and it completely died. Couldn't do anything anymore.
These same symptoms happened with my Edge+ recently, but I can access download mode and it restarts but remains stuck on the logo screen.

I have the G928F and I also had the "custom binary blocked by frp lock" in red, which didn't allow me to boot. To fix this, I had flashed the newest stock Rom I could, and this had fixed my issue. But just yesterday I decided to unroot via the SU app, and it had asked me to restore stock boot image and recovery image. I did this but it had left me in a boot loop. I could enter recovery mode and download mode too. So I tried a factory reset. No help. Now instead of looping it would take me straight to recovery. Like every person at this point would've done, I tried to flash stock Rom, but I keep getting the "sw rev check fail" error. So I 're rooted the phone via odin and voila! I was back up and running and my phone works perfectly fine. You could try this, I know I'm a year late but oh well. Hope this helps!

Hi,
Just wondered how you manage to 're root the phone if FRP lock is on?
When I've tried, the FRP has blocked the custom rom. I've tried downgrading and current stock versions of android but not had any luck. I'm able to flash everything except the BL, no matter what version.
I've been trying all kinds of ideas on here for days now so any suggestions would be welcome.

Ahh if you're flashing current that's why. You need to flash the newest version of Android there is. The latest for the G928F was in February. Flash that and see if you have any errors.

I have a G935F but the process is much the same I guess. I have tried the latest stock rom but still can't get the bootloader on there. Once the bootloader is on there I think I'll be home free but at this point I've tried practically everything I've come across.
