Hi guys ! First of all , I'm sorry for being a noob ,as this is just my 2nd android phone ...
So,my problem is that after an upgrade(android 2.3.7 MIUI interface beta2) I get spammed with errors after I boot(all I can do is "Force Close" them) ...
-I can't enter Recovery Mode(freezes ,I had this problem on all my other android versions except CMs)
-When I try to upgrade my OS using download mode+RUT v1.1.4 I wait for it to finish but after it finishes and I take out the battery(to exit DL mode) and reboot,nothing is changed (same OS,same errors)
Things I Tried
-Hard Reset(done it 3-4 times,no luck)
-Take out the battery and restart the phone
-Restarting it several times(30 times or so)
-Removing SD card / SIM card
Phone : Orange Boston
Any help is highly appreciated! Thanks

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...)

On the thread you gave me someone say that there is no solution for that...
What I don't understand is that I neither Flashed or tried to change the Rom of my phone, I only rooted it with SOC...

Of course I dont know what you exactly done or not but if its stuck in black screen and cant flash with ODIN, then I think its TOTALLY bricked. Sorry for you, hope you get it changed to new one! THUMBS UP FOR YOU!
I tried to root my phone using universal-androot and it was successful. After that i flashed clockworkmod recovery. And i thought of making a back-up of my current stock-ROM and there it was... my phone suddenly got blacked-out. Now i cant even turn-on my phone. I tried all the different possibilities like holding 'vol down+home+power', 'vol up+vol down+power', dint work .!! help me please
I was told that you can't backup stock roms using clockworkmod.
Can you turn the phone on in any mode? normal/download/anything else?
Nop !! can't do anything. Tried all the patterns.
did the phone do anything before it turned off? or did it just go blank?
Also, can you remember what clockworkmod was saying before it went blank? e.g. what processes it was undergoing?
I think the problem is with clockworkmod recovery. Coz while trying to flash the recovery, I was asked to select the phone model, but 'samsung galaxy 5' was not in the list, So i selected 'Huawei model' or something in order complete the installation! but still the installation was successful. And when i clicked 'Backup my current ROM' the phone suddenly got switched-off.
Were you trying to install the recovery from rom manager?
You need to install it via odin for the Galaxy 5.
Your phone probably needs a time+materials trip to the service centre.
Yeah, flashing that can't have done your phone any good Rom manager doesnt (yet) support our phone
have you tried firmware download mode?
remove your battery, put it back on
now press volume down, central select button and power.
keep holding till a yellow sign appears with android and a broom
now go to odin and flash CWM recovery or other rom.
madteam.co forum has lots of info about europas

It appears to me he did.
I had the same problem.
I removed the battery for 30 minutes, and removed the SIM. SIM removal was necessary.
Remove the SD Card too; it might help.

So I just wanted to backup the system before I flash a new rom
Entered to rom manager pro and click backup.
That's it my phone try to restart himself and what's comes it just a weird flickering lights on the screen.
What did I try:
Hard reset with long press home+power= try to restart- this time Samsung logo shows at first and after same weird flickering lights
Recovery= can't access
Download mode= ok
Also try 2 take out the battery for 5 minutes= nothing!!
Have to bold that I have this brick bug so...
Thanks for all of you...
You say you can get into Download mode?
So flash with Odin a non emmc bug firmware. Am I wrong?

Do you know for sure that you have the insane chip (it's a piece of HW) ?
Try to get in touch with mobile through Odin PC before you begin to cry
If success getting access through Odin, then try to flash a stock 4.0.3 firmware.
If you still can't flash it properly AND you indeed have the eMMC bug ... you might still be able to flash stock 4.0.3 firmware at the cost of some lost SD memory (search XDA ...)
Odin doesn't recognize my device, so I am afraid that I have this brick bug...
So how exactly I going to flash the stock rom

You can get into Download Mode but Odin doesn`t recognize your phone?
Have you installed the USB Drivers?

If you can get into Download Mode then:
- Disconnect phones USB cable
- Kill any KIES process
- Start Odin
- Restart phone and go into Download Mode
- Connect cable
- Wait a minutes until Odin show it is connected
- Flash away
On XDA there is a lot of guides showing how to do this
This one might help you Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII :good:
It's NAND rw corruption, you don't have a kernel what can perform read/write action, you have formatted /system. Find Phistachio guide how to recover your phone. Good luck.
P.S. I've got same trouble :'(

AFAIK you cant use Rom Manager on our GS2 so sounds like you tried to flash a kernel via it first and now system wont boot.
Just simply go into download mode and flash latest Siyah kernel and it should boot after that.

It's not a hard brick -_- if your phone shows any kind of activity, be it even battery charging animation when it's off.
Try to get a USB Jig, that'll take you to download mode and then flash anything via Odin.
if it is a Hard brick JTAG could be helpful. Also try to contact AdamOutler http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236273 He is develpoing a SDCard Recovery for hardbrick devices.
He need a device for it, and if he get it in time it will help you.
No .. my phone didn't show any kind of activity
no light .. no charging animation .. nothing at all
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/explaining-and-advancing-the-unbrickable-mod/
Hard Brick-The device is unresponsive and will not enumerate USB, a hardware based solution is the only method which will recover this type of brick
Soft Brick -The device shows something on the screen or possibly nothing at all, firmware download is possible because this is a “Download Mode”.
UnBrickable-The device has been modified to accept a debug-mode flash which cannot be altered.
Lucky Brick- The device ends up in UnBrickable debug mode and the Ultimate UnBrickable Resurrector can be used without a hardware modification to resurrect the device.

^ oK , good
any help ?
What kind of help are you expecting ? Tho it's obviously not what you want to hear, it doesn't sound like it's a firmware issue that might mean it's (relatively) easily fixable.
If its under warranty, send it in to Samsung/authorised repairer & hope they don't care or don't notice you've been running non-stock firmware on the phone. You never know, they might fix it under warranty. If they won't, then you can look at having it JTAG'd or repaired locally by a 3rd party repairer given that will probably be cheaper than having Samsung/authorised repairer fix it if they do decide to charge you.
Anything anyone here tells you to try is just delaying having your phone fixed/depriving you of your phone for as long as you delay having it fixed.
i mean i need to make sure there still a hope !
based on a previews experience .. anyone saw this problem before ?
also it's the first time to know about the Hard brick
based on what i said , is my phone having a hard brick ?
so , it will be a software problem or something like that ?
Try this ^^ CLICKY
can't hurt by sounds of things :good: :fingers-crossed:
The repairing shop told me that the mother board burned !
So this guy online tried to make me send come cash via Western Union to China so that he can "buy my car and freight it over". I knew it was a scam so i kept msging on my Samsung Galaxy S3 with CM mod. In the end he got the ****s and next thing you know my whole OS is gone, i enter recovery mod there is nothing there, everything has been wiped out.
I can still go through all functions but i cannot mount anything. Is there any way to get my OS back?
I tried to use KIES to recover by default but it says i cannot update the device, i think its because i run CM?
Thanks
okay first 1.Why would you keep messaging with a guy who tries to scamm you ?
2. I don't think this is possibile for someone to "hack" into your phone just like that .
3. perhaps your phone died ,suddenly ?
4. flash the rescue firmware ,maybe it can help .
5. I still don't believe it

Yes i was like you, i believe it is not possible for him just to hack my phone so i kept messing with him. But the fact that after i lead him on for 5 days and right after the last email i sent him my phone just went dead. I cannot bypass the Samsung screen during startup, and it seems like it might have been bricked.
I don't see how i been using CM for last year and nothing happen and next thing this happened because then it would have happen to alot of other people using CM mod.
i have been using cm for almost 2 years ( alot of nigerians tried to scamm via email ,but i don't respond to emails ( unknown ) via phone because of data scripts)) , and i have to say ,happend to me once while playing a game ,phone suddenly turned off ,tried to turn on and ended in a bootloop .
Once you roooted your phone and changed the rom kies become unavailable for firmware upgrades . Try use odin and flash rescue firmware maybe it will help with something . Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6
