Hi there,
I wanted to install a custom ROM (Moonstone V1.1) on my Alcatel OT-990, so I followed the guides mentioned here to root and update my phone to be able to install custom ROMs. Everything went fine, so I proceeded to install the custom ROM. While installing I forgot to flash the custom ROM... and now I am caught in a boot loop.
I followed various guides mentioning all kinds of stuff to unbrick the phone posted here and on some other sites (some site mentioned formatting my SD card, tried that, nothing happened aswell).
I'd really be glad if someone would help me out.
take the battery out for a few seconds, press the down volume, home key and power, when the icon lights come on let go of the power key but continue to hold the volume and home key until the droid icon the let go of both, the plug the usb cable in to the top with the other end connected to computer and click start menu on computer and go to the recovery-clockwork-file that you should have installed, open the zip and run the "install.bat" you should be able to just double click on it , it will open up the "clockworkmod", just go into install from zip and flash the rom.. if you don't have the recovery-clockwork downloaded let me know and i'll get you the site to download it..... hope this helps....

alot of phone are different so if you phone don't respond: plan B - hold volume up and press power, when phone vibrates, let go of power and press home key but don't let go of volume, phone should go into clockworkmod, if not then attach usb cord and follow the above direction from there.... good luck, its hard to brick the 990 without formatting everything and completely wiping all the files from sd and phone... and don't forget to wipe cache and dalvik and battery stats this helps... those can be found under advanced

Thanks a lot, it's working now.
hey guys i have the same problems but worse because i brick my phone by wiping all data because i was flash custom rom marina but didn't work and now it's on a boot loop and i did like you said but didn't work so could please help me
Having the same problem dont know how to fix it :[
Once you stuck in boot loop, can you flash stock rom via fastboot?

Long story short.
My phone rebooted when i plugged in my wallcharger (dunno if it has anything with that though), and shows the samsung bootlogo. But after that the screen goes black and nothing happends. Turns itself off again..
I was on MIUI 1.11.4 and KI4 Modem at the time. with latest CWM.
Couldnt get in recoverymode. downloadmode on the other hand is no problem.
So i then tried then to flash different stock roms with odin. still no go. Black screen..
So, anyone?
edit:
I've now got CWR working again. Tried to mount sdcard to pc but no go on this either. Will try to flash villain 1.1.. And if that doesn't work the next step will me repartitioning? :s booo
I have the exact same thing happen to me today!
The phone stops at the big flashing "S" boot screen. I waited a long time and it doesn't get anywhere. however, I then noticed, by tapping the the power button to put the phone to sleep, and then tapping the home button will bring me to the screen lock.
I can unlock the screen. But the phone home screen is black and the all shortcut keys including the four original shortcut keys at the bottom of the screen aren't there!! The only thing I can do are:
1. the dropdown from the notification bar. Everything from the dropdown work.
2. double tapping the home button will bring up the Voice Command
3. long press the home button will bring up task manager, and everything in that particular task manager page is functional.
4. volume keys are functional
5. power button is functional
That's all I can do to the phone.
Both the menu button and the return button are not working.
Can someone please help! Please advise what shall I do.
Thanks.
Remove the sd card, that should fix it.
If you can get to recovery might be a good idea to wipe everything and re-install from scratch.Wipe cache partion,dalvik cache,battery stats,format data,format system,factory reset and then reboot.Phone wont pass S2 logo so give it 2min,pull the battey,put it back in and boot to download and re-install your ROM (firmware first if you want aswell) then apps if you have a back up via titanium.

tried it. doesn't work.
My last resort would be to wipe everything but I wish I don't have to go to that.

Read from another thread, someone is having identical problem: stuck at the S2 logo boot screen.
He tried flashing several ROMs but without any luck: still stuck at S2 logo boot screen. No solution yet.
My condition might be slightly better as I manage to get to the home screen, only I can't launch any program since the screen is blank, and the MENU button doesn't bring up any menu as before.
Any other ideas? Please?
Thanks again.

Hey!
I got my problems sorted out after 4 hours of trying (and failing). Im not sure how to fix yours though but this is how i did it..
Eventually got the "Mount usb to pc"-function working in CWR (No luck with this function in win7, but worked as a charm 1. try in ubuntu). Transfered an old NANbackup i had and flashed that. No problems what so ever! Really odd since I tried to flash the exact same ROM from odin with no luck..Hope this may help you or others. good luck!
Hello, total noob here; expected going from stock froyo to eating a nice ICS rom--Oh boy was I wrong. Current problem is towards the bottom of this post.
Rooting the phone was easy enough, but had to use magic getting Clockwork Recovery to work. I had to flash a "2e recovery menu", whatever that mean (versus the 3e version that originally came on the phone). Unfortunately I mistakenly deleted user/cache data before flashing CWM and did no nandroid backup.
A that point I could install passion v5 using CWM, and ended up in a bootloop, where the original booting image appears, flickered to the ICS bootimage, then back again. At this point I decided I should try going back to stock.
This is the image I tried putting on my phone, using odin3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036193
My phone could only boot into recovery, with an error along the lings of "dbdata: not mounting".
In my infinite noobness, I tried putting this gingerbread bootloader on my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117990
Now it doesn't boot at all.
The following recovery guide doesn't help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737
After spending the last couple day working on this problem, I made this account and would like to see some community input on finding a solution.
OK seems like u did get Gingerbread bootloader installed correctly...if that's a case then the keys have changed in order to get to the download mode and recovery mode...so try this
1) pull the battery out
2) plug ur usb wire to ur pc and ur phone
3) hold volume up+
4) insert the battery in
if that don't work then repeat the steps mentioned above only this time on step two press volume down not volume up....good luck
if you get it successfully done...and u r ready to flash ICS make sure u flash it twice if it goes in a bootloop according to the developer that's what he said...u can pm me if u need help...good luck..

**note whenever you need to use ODIN always take out ur sim card and sdcard...

THIS SHOULD GET YOU IN DOWNLOAD MODE

Sorry, but I should have mentioned that I tried the no-boot steps with the gingerbread key mappings, to no avail.
I would have stopped at passion rebooting constantly and use Odin3 again, but guess what? It couldn't enter recovery or download mode.
Anyways, do you have anything to say when your steps fail?
Do you recommend I try making a 301K jig to force download mode?
E: Not to say you're wrong, I'm just confident that I tried all possible button combinations.
EE: Just re-read the 301K jig guide again and noticed that my phone doesn't display anything; the jig will not work. Welp
Final Edit: My local store offered a replacement for my broken phone. No need to continue discussion in this thread.

Hello,
(Posted this earlier, but just saw it was in the category of General S5830.. appologies for that)
Unfortunately I've got the same problem. I can't get my S5830i in download mode.
I know that it's Volume up+down and power button. Screen light up and off... Then up again .....and that's it. Black screen with the backlight turned on.
What happened?
I tried installing custom rom (RazoDroid) and during install it froze.... Bricked my phone. Was able to go into download mode and used Odin v1.84 to unbrick. After that I installed RazoDroid and tried to patch some system files to get arabic language working (patch found on this forum)... Didn't work...so installed Retribution, but patch also didn't work on that one.
Decided to install middle eastern rom on the phone (as it's for a friend who's english is bad but arabic is perfect)...tried going to download mode...and nothing..
Solutions
1) Tried depleting phone completely and holding buttons then installing the battery... No success
2) Tried removing battery and inserting USB.. then volume up+down then inserting battery... No success
3) Tried removing battery and inserting USB...then volume up+down+power then inserting battery.... No succes
4) Tried number 2+3 with non-standard USB...no success
5) Tried OneClick soft unbrick..... no success
6) Installing different custom roms.... but understand that this doesn't change boot
7) Internet/forums are out of solutions..... Posting this post ....success?
---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------
Just thinking... Is it possible to update/repair the boot file...in order to get the download mode working again?

I had the same problem as you, I tried for hours to get the dam phone into download mode without success.
When I try to put the phone into download mode I just get a constant black (but 'on') screen. I found that even though this is the case the phone is still recognised in odin, as is the yellow bar would appear in odin. I was able to unbrick my phone by reloading a stock rom and then re-put retribution back on the phone but even now if I try to put the phone in download mode I still get the black screen.
Ive learned to live with it.

Lee,
Question... I thought I needed the phone in download mode in order to reload/reflash a stock rom. Could you tell me how to do this....
I tried Odin before and it was just waiting to connect to the phone...
What I want to do is get a middle eastern stock rom installed and give it to my friend. I'm not interested to have download mode working.
Many thanks for the support!

GUYS after some trial and error I got it back to work...
apperantly there are 2 download modes..
1. emergency download : volume up + volume down + power
2. "standard" download mode: volume down + power
the emergency download mode pops up (white letters on screen) when booting the Phone with: volume up + down + power.
if you use volume down + power you get the download mode with yellow letters !!!
if you get the yellow download letters:
1. go to odin (i take it that you have the right version and the rom) install the rom. Check odin to see if it has installed everything = pass
2. The Phone reboots -> diconnect the usb cable to finish the install (odin is waiting for reboot but ignore that).
3. Reboot the system in to recovery mode: POWER + HOME button
4. from the Recovery Menu, select “Wipe data/factory reset” then select “Wipe Cache Partition” and then select “reboot system now” to reboot your system.
5. wait for about 5 minutes and the Phone starts os. Connect to your google account and you are finished!
I had a completely bricked Phone but now I got an official factory version running on it again!
I hope this is off some help for others with the same problem!

Alright, so i've searched and searched but i can only seem to find my problems separately. It started with the replacement of my new screen. i got it off Amazon and worked fine at first. but then i began to notice that once i locked my phone, the touchscreen would deem unresponsive( a battery pull would temporarily fix the issue) . i tried to fix the issue by going into the hidden menu to hopefully re calibrate my screen but once i tapped device test, i got stuck in the miniOS 3.1 and the worst part is that my touch screen wont respond( even after battery pull). so i cannot physically touch "OK" to begin the "Auto Touch Test"
Does it give you factory reset status 2???
no, i cant go any further from the device test
Do you see power off or restart button if yes press and hold power button while holding tap the power off or restart on the screen.
my touchscreen is unresponsive. i cant tap anything. is there any button combination or a computer program that can help?

Hey, does anyone know if there was a fix to this problem? I'm having the exact same issue and Power + tapping Normal Boot doesn't work since my touch screen is having problems. I'll still be looking around in the meantime, thanks!
Plug in your computer and pray for fastboot commands or adb, examples:
adb devices (run in thermial)
adb reboot recovery
Or
fastboot devices
fastboot reboot
Then hardware keys to custom recovery
If all else fails call customer service and try to get a replacement. There is no way (that I know of) for the device to look "flagged'. Pretty much we don't get any red bootloader text.

I am not aware of these commands or adb you speak of. could you please elaborate because i was looking for something like this
I installed it with the command and when I go to the Erase and wipe data screen and press "yes" to everything, shows "erasing" and, of course, my phone erased all my data. I tried it a few times, so I don't want to lose my data again. So, there is anyone with h850 rooted?

Read what is under step 9 and if you want to flash twrp and root it you will need to delete your data atlest once just save a backup and back it all up again after finishing. You have to unplug the usb cable and take out the battery and then hold volume down and the power button as soon as you see the LG logo you let go of the power button and then press it again right away then continue to hold volume down and the power button untill you see a screen (you hold the volume down while letting go of the power button at the lg logo) When you see the screen you just navigate using the volume keys and the power button to "yes" on both of the options then it will enter recovery mode. (You dont need to hold anything after that screen comes up)

I did everything but in the last step, when I select "yes" on both options it just wipes all my data instead of going to TWRP. Thanks in advance

So you are saying that TWRP never boots? Are you loading the latest TWRP 3.0.2.0-1 ?
Have you ever successfully booted TWRP?

And on your PC, fastboot isn't giving you any errors? It's claiming it was successfully flashed? H850 from what region?
