You are stuck in bootloop, check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499

Urgent... where is the fire? Hell is burning next to my door!
Honestly, I would pick better titles next time.
Since this is not your first rooting, you did not mentioned anything about Download mode results once your phone is stuck at Samsung welcome screen.

What you mean i did no mentioned?

Can you get in Recovery/Download mode? If yes, your phone is easy to fix by wiping your cache/user data and reflashing your ROM with Odin. Where is the fire???

Yeah i can go to the recovery and i try steps from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1108499 but no,,,still again,,,damn s....idea?

Someone rated your thread 1 star, is not me heh. Do you wonder why?
How can we guess what is wrong with your phone if you give ZERO details?
Prepare to get nickel and dimed by the old school guys.

c,c,c, very funny but hey ,,thx ,,,,
Simple i delete all user data and everything its okay now.
Thanx again guys

Well you mest up with rom manager without any knowledge about it. AFAIK Your phone is now fully brick. You need to replace your motherboard(GOOD LUCK WITH WARRANTY )

If Flashing and Unbrick not working, what ever you do or how you try, then you probably messed up your boot ROM and it´s BRICKED. SORRY FOR YOU, but always, I MEAN ALWAYS read and search the forum 10 TIMES, before you start up messing your phone. It can very yeasely BRICKED.
I hope you can change it from service for free. Say that you trying restore to FACTORY setting(just make up some story[believable], why you was need to restore to FACTORY settings). Maybe they belive you and change your BRICKED phone to new one. Thumbs up for you and dont do anything stupid next time!!!
P1tt187, just out of curiosity - how did you even do that?
When I tried to use ROM Manager it told me to install the correct drivers, but Galaxy Ace isn't supported, so I just resigned. Which drivers did you use?
P1tt187 My friend had the same thing, he used a ROM Manager to back up the ROM in the ACE. Identical symptoms. Only the Samsung service will help. Tell him that you turned off phone and not turn on (Phone) . Samsung Service exchanged him motherboard in ACE (on guarantee).
Galaxy Ace not supported yet by ROM manager! Sorry for you but search the forum(or just GOOGLE it) before trying something first. There is always GOOGLE to helping(if you not found it here). Just USE it!
I have rooted and customized all my phones(HTC, SAMSUNG), JAILBREAKED AND UNLOCKED all my IPhones(3G and 4G), just waste some time, for GOOGLE! But you must be patient. Everything is not coming in first search(but everything is there, TAKE THE TIME and be sure for right thing).
CHEERS!
Hey,
I just have the same problem, but I didn't touch to the ROM or anything else
I just rooted my phone with SuperOneClick, turn it off and it never turn on again...
Since my phone is rooted, I don't know if the warranty is lost, but I think so...
I already tried to remove the battery and then put it back while holding ok + volume down + power, but it didn't work, the screen stays completely black...
I'll let my phone rest a few days and then send it to Orange while I pray --'
Any other idea guys ?
( sorry for my bad english...)

[Q] galaxy s2 stopped working

hello everybody i'm sorry to waste your times but i have a problem with my galaxy s2
I rooted the phone then installed rom for it but it stopped working in any mode (dead phone) i can't even go to downloading mode or recovery mode it just stopped

Answer my questions from my previous post so that I can help you.
firstly i started with rooting and it goes well
secondly i started in the rom (it was the biggest mistake in my life) i have done it by downloading the room in my phone then install it via recovery mode
after this the phone stopped in the "yellow triangle" and didn't work..
after that i tried to install the root again and it didn't work so i done the second mistake by shutting down the phone by using power button and after that my phone dead...
so sad man...
Since you can't go into recovery mode (or any other), there is nothing more you can do. If your device is under warranty, then you know what they say.. "Drown your device" Make sure it's completely dead. If they ask, then just say it fell in a river, lake, toilet or something. If you do this, you can carry it back for your warranty (and get a new device ). Just make sure you do not tell them that you rooted your device (or even tried).

Really messed up my phone :( First time flashing and its all gone wrong!

Hi there, i finally got round to trying to root my galaxy s2 having put it off for a while due to the fear of it all! I only really wanted to root it to move the games over to my sd card since they were taking up all the room on my internal memory!
Anyway now that i have done it, i have really messed up my fone. My fone will not boot anymore, it will only go into download mode. It won't go in recovery or boot at all. It goes to the galaxy s2 logo and displays a yellow sign at the bottom of the screen. I have tried numerous tutorials online to try and fix this problem. I have tried 'Phistachio's guide on this forum and i still couldn't get it to work. It just comes up 'Fail' when i try to flash everything. It flashes the kernal fine, and it also flashes the pit file fine, but the rest it just fails on.
I really need my phone up and running again through any means! If anyone has the time to help me, that would be fantastic! I just need it fixed, and it feels like i am running out of ideas on what to do next.
Im sure i was on ice cream sandwich when i tried to flash the device so i followed this tutorial on galaxys2root....com (i can't post the link)
But it after this, it never booted.
Please help!
Thanks

What's your phone Model no?
were you on Gingerbread or ICS before trying to root?
If you can get in download mode, then just flash a stock rom

Hi!
I can see that you are stuck on bootloop. There are a lot of options to get you started on fixing this.
If you can go to download mode, you can just flash a stock rom/firmware via odin..
If you can't go to download mode, you use a usb jig to get you to download mode (if you don't have a usb jig, you can borrow one near you.. the link is on my signature).. and once you get to download mode, you can flash a stock firmware/ rom..
you can get/ download stock firmwares on sammobile.com but you have to have an account there. don't worry it's free
I hope this helped
Cheers!
usb jig n flashing stock rom over pc odin the best way

Hi.
Firstly take out the fear in you n then try out anything with yr phone for wat u need.
Now find a jig which will reset yr binary count to Zero.
Find your countries latest stock rom on xda or sammobile.
Odin v 1.85
Stock rom tar file (which u get after extracting downloaded rom )
Install samsung mobile drivers on yr pc.
Put yr phone to download mode manually (vol down +centre+power)
Then open odin n don touch anything other than pda.
In pda select the md5sum tar file.
Then connect yr phone with usb cable to odin n after u find an yellow vom port u ve to start n wait for stock rom to get
Flashed n with fear don remove cable in the midfle of flash n once done it will restart n work the way it was before.

Bootloop after unrooting

Recently i tried to install firmware on my Galaxy tab 10.1, but it resulted in a bootloop, and now i am on the samsung screen. I tried to install the firmware with mobil Odin. The firmware i used is P7510XEULPH_P7510XXLPH_HOME.tar. I dont know what to do to get my tab working again, because when i try to boot into the recovery, i get the flicker screen.
If anybody could help me i would greatly appreciate it.

Sounds like you soft brick your tab. Looks like your gonna need to whip out the PC and find PC version ODIN even though the screen stuck on flicker it will still connect well at least it did when I soft bricked my SGS 2. Well good luck guy I knw I had a few days of fun when I was trying to fix mine.
Oh ya one more important thing check in your device form in Q & A Chechen sticky always a lot of useful stuff or might even find a quick fix from fellow XDA fanatic like me.

Not sure if you are still stuck, but if you boot into recovery and then clear cache and user data it stopped the boot looping for me...

In theory you can switch off the tab and plug it to charge. It should charge as you do not hard brick it. If you can slash your tab via Odin, try to flash it two times, one by one not letting it to boot android and samsung logo after the first flash. After the second flash, reboot and hold the volume - button till you get into stock recovery mode. then wipe data and wipe cash. then reboot again.

First, why the hell did you flash I9305 software on a I9300?
Second, if you have a jig try to get in downloadmode and reflash a stock I9300 rom. If you don`t have a jig pull the battery, wait for a minute and reinsert it and try the three button way to get in downloadmode and flash a stock rom.
Sorry I forgot to say that the phone is SGS3- I9305. So the rom it was correct one. I'm been flashed before to htc hd2, so I'm not totally noob to this. But I don't know what get wrong. I followed all the step by step instrucion..
This with the battery don't work. I wait 2minutes and put it back and try to turn on the phone but don't want...

Have you tried to get into recovery mode? Eventually with a jig if the normal key combination does not work?
Can you please tell me what JIG is? And yes I tryed to go to recovery mode, but the problem is there, that the phone don't want to turn on...Any light, any vibration..
Ok, I saw what jig is on google, but I don't have it..
This is i9300 forum, post in the correct section
Thank you for telling me! I saw that, but I don't want to make another treat and make the admins angry
Is it possible just to move that one to the other section?
Thank you!
Report your post and ask for it to be moved
