Is there any limitation flashing using ODIN?
i mean, is that safe using ODIN several time to flash the S5830?
or any limitation for doing this? to avoid the bricked situation
thanks
Using this ace since March, I've flashed through ODIN at least 20 times and the most problematic hurdle was a bootloop. Once. Nothing I can't fix.
But there is going to be a degree of potential bricking when flashing (either through ODIN or flashing zips).

flash memories have certain amount of read/write cycles so don't try to flash it that much with odin as at end of life it will refuse to do anything..
no one can provide you specific number as it depends on flash chips on device

Hey Guys,
My last two phones were the two nexus' and with this phones i flashed with fastboot but most of the time trough the recovery. So i never used one of this programms befor and i`m a bit afraid to flash without a recovery. Should i wait until there is recovery or is this the normal way to flash on a galaxy?

yes, have a jig handy though
Lets say 99% safe if you follow the instructions .
90% safe if you do not follow instructions that is its 90% recoverable .

Well, I am posting this behalf of my friend....
He had ClockWorkMod Recovery installed and Rooted his Ace on a stock firmware...
Just a few mins back he installed the ROM Toolbox app from the market.
After installing and running the app, the app told him to restart his phone and after that the phone is stuck on the "S5830" logo....
He is able to get into Recovery Mode, and also tried wiping everything but hes still stuck on that logo
Please help.
Kind of urgent...
Odin flash

Yeah, I had that in my mind too but my friend is unable to flash right now, so any other alternatives?
no backup?
if CWM is working properly try to flash again the ROM zip and do the full wipe...
as u said he tried to wipe but still stuck, odin is the only solution now.

Well if Odin is the only chance now I guess thats how I am gonna need to do it....
Is there anyone else here that has used ROM Toolbox and bricked their Ace?
Cause I used it on Samsung Galaxy 3 and it did not cause any problems....
No, I'm aware of every single app that has "ROM" in its name. If you know what I mean.

If he used ROM Manager to install CWM, then it can't be repaired :/
I mean, ROM Manager is very dangerous for Ace. Many people have bricked their phone by using it. It may be compatible with Galaxy 3 but on Ace, it's DANGEROUS

If you still hav recovery then chill.. Just do a standard cwm flash..

ROM Toolbox still partially has ROM Manager.....
I use it for convenience to build.prop editing though

Install Lewa ROM . Atleast you are able to get into CWM recovery

Hi, I'm new here so bare with me.
I just rooted my Samsung S3-I9300 hours ago. And I was pumped up, what I did later on is I installed bootanimation and I didn't quite understand how to use it and I still don't, but in the end I got it to work but the logo was too small but this isn't the problem. I entered recovery mode and I don't know what I extracted or installed and I rebooted my device and all I hear is the Samsung booting music and that's all. My screen is black.
Your help is appreciated.
Is your phone actually booting?

Yes, it is booting. I can see the back button and the options button lit. It's just black.
BUMP.
I would probably wipe data in recovery mode, and last case scenario flash official firmware from sammobile.com.
This will make you lose all your saves and stuff though.
Wipe cache and/or full wipe. If still nothing, reflash ROM. It happened to me long time ago, nothing to worry about.

Nothing to worry about..
Just restore a backup or reflash your ROM and reroot

And how do I do that? I'm a major noob with these things currently. Do I have to use my PC and ODIN?
do you really think you're the first person to ask that and the info is not available? use search
read the basics before asking questions.

If you didnt make a backup, yes, use ODIN to flash a stock ROM.
You can find out which rom you currently have in settings/about phone.
Download the rom from sammobile.com and flash with ODIN.

I'm incapable of accessing my phone. But I went across this " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670110 "
Currently doing it but it's taking time. Is this ok?
not really!!!
download this http://www.hotfile.com/dl/194985487/ede43d0/I9300XXEMB1_I9300OXAEMB1_BTU.zip.html
And flash through ODIN.
There's tutorials here on XDA on how touse ODIN....
if you checked the basics and the faq, you would've found the answer

Except there is no limit it's just a number and you don't trip or flashing in recovery. It only gets tripped by flashing non official Samsung firmware in Odin so I doubt his is higher then 1

I got the S3 with Revoulution HD S5 (smartdroid) ROM with boeffla kernel.
Lately ive been getting random freezes just in the middle of doing nothing with my phone, it just freezes and then goes to reboot, while its trying to reboot it bootloops. With that i mean its trying to reboot then screen goes black and then it tries to reboot again.. Then i have to pull the battery out and insert it again and it works (for some time.)
So my question is how can i fix this and what is the problem? Ive read some posts saying that it could be the firmware? Well i have read alot of other posts but never really find any good soulution so please HELP!

Flash the latest official stock rom with odin, factory reset then test before you install or restore anything.

i unrooted/went back to stock, then i rooted and flashed a new rom. Everything without a problem. I have only got 1 random reboot so far.. more suggestions??
If it still freezes and reboots on stock then you have bad memory blocks in your nand memory.

Change your Kernel. I am using Revolution S5 without any issue. Better install LiteGX kernel. Do not play with Kernel if your knowledge is less. LiteGX is just a plug & play Kernel.
I got the same issue.
I´m on it. I will try latest official. You should check if your emmc chip is possible broken. Just load the app emmc check and google about "SDS S3"
I´ll post a solution if i can get it solved.
