Galaxy Ace doesn't turn on - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

Ok so my problem is that i eooted my wife galaxy ice without any problem, i downloaded rom manager and download nice custom rom, so at this time i lieft phone at home and go to work. At this time i didnt know that rom manager is not suporting ace device. MY WIFE KNOW a bit about rooting because she saw me rooting all of my androud device,so while a went to work she want to suprise me and she want to instal custom rom on her own so she went to rom manager and when rom manager ask her to confirm device name ahe couldnt find ace on the list, so for some stupid reazon she choose huwei phone and she flashed cwm. After that she go to instal rom from sd and she choose cynanogen ics rom,phone go to reboot but it never turn on again, i try go to download mode but it wont go to it, i remooved battery press three magic buttons and at the same time inserting battery qbut noting pc is not recognizing device. The only way for pc to recognize my phone is when i press volume up+home+power(like recovery mode) when i do this my pc is recognizing my wife ace and odin can see it also,but when i try to flash stock rom odin stock on "setupconnection" i closed all kies backgrounds but still same. I also try jig to boot in to download mode but it wont work.

Try if you can go to download mode again or recovery mode..
if not..
simply give it to the service center and tell them it simply stopped working when i woke up one fine morning...

most of the time bricking with rom manager is unrecoverable by users, only service center can repair it. i think i saw a guy claimed he recovered his bricked-by-rom-manager ace in a thread before but couldn't remember which thread it is.
try to search for the thread.

I think the service center is the only option left...
btw..your thank counter is at 666...feeling devilish much?

Probably have to change the whole motherboard, it's probably better to get a new phone at this stage. Another way (don't get your hopes up) is to use JTAG, that will probably work but if you dont know anyone with the equipment the pricing will actually be more expensive than the Ace itself.
Additionally, it would be wiser to state your actual problem on the thread title.

i bricked my phone while going from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5
If your phone doesn’t boot into download mode and you have a black screen after flashing heres how you unbrick it, it worked for me .
Step 1 – Prepare odin with the firmware u want to flash (in my case was gingerbread 2.3.3) and get it ready to go;
Step 2 – Remove battery and connect your galaxy ace to the computer;
Step 3 – Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time;
Step 4 – Insert the battery and wait a bit;
Step 5 – At this point Odin should have detected your SG Ace ( Yellow rectangle should appear);
Step 6 – Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.
step 7- if force close issue come-- boot into recovery mode by pressing middle button+power and then releasing power button (keeping middle button still pressed) wipe data wipe cache ..
reboot
If all goes well it should come back to life.
at last service centre is the only choice.. tell them u installed antivirus from market one night and other day u find it un-bootable

Lol wat, i never heard of that one before. The most common one (which actually worked for my friend) is about updating using KIES, my friend got a new phone without any trouble at all.

choice depends on you.... its that are u a good actor and can u convince

If I'm not wrong you can bring it back using a jtag box, 25 pounds could get yourself that.
But just repair it it's easier.

I think You go to service center tell them that your phone got switched off when You were talking on the phone and then it never started again and always act like Noobs in front of them.....
I hope you have warranty for your ace

I got the solution : For bricked ice........ Take an
Icepick.... .. Sorry, but this pass was too good....

I have come across such a situation and successfully have brought back my ace to life. (Disclaimer: I am not saying these are the steps to recover any bricked device, but this is a method i followed once when i bricked my device by following a wrong flashing method)
Just remove the battery and try to switch on normally without pressing any combination. It would not do anything but would drain remains completely.
Then do not put the battery back for a while (in my case i kept it for 5 mins)
Then again follow the same procedure without battery, just press the power button for 10 secs without pressing any other keys and see what happens. It should remain blank.
After that, try to connect the USB cable and then press power + v down + center key and see if it goes to download mode. If not, then put in the battery without removing the cable, then see if it automatically switches on to emergency recovery mode (It should).
Next when u see the emergency recovery screen, now try going to download mode by using the combination (power + vdown + center)
Please let me know if this works. ( I hope this should work)

service center

buy "USB Jig" so the phone will start in download mode and you can easily flash it with odin.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=usb+jig&_sacat=0

Here's the solution:
Step 1: Buy a baseball bat
Step 2: Get home
Step 3: Beat up yo wench with the bat and scream "You dumb *****! Make me a sandwich".

I've done same what your wife do before.. so i tried every thing but still cant unbrick..
Just send to servis centre if you still have warranty..
I tell them i was on fb but it( ace) goes off..
If u doesnt have warranty anymore just go to phone shop tell them to change your ace board..
Just click thanks if i help u..
I just want to help.. :banghead:

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 )
Sent from my GT-S5830 using Tapatalk
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 ?

you are really not giving a lot of details here...all you are saying you tried installing a rom and then it froze halfway..
Are you rooted firstly?
If you are have you flashed CF-root kernel?
How did you try to install the rom?
More info and then more people can help you out buddy..see if you can get into recovery and restart your phone.
well... if you've tried "every" (its not like there are a lot) button combination... then just go buy a jig from ebay and force it into download mode...

Nothing from what you said would help..
He obviously flashed it with Odin, and he said he's getting a yellow triangle with a computer behind it..
From what I understood, he could get into download mode.
So just boot into download mode and flash stock ROM. That should do it.

anyone else seeing an increase in the "i bricked my phone" threads?
dont think its coincidence they are increasing after the american variants have been released. People need to check what model they have before flashing things.
OP: not saying thats what has happened to you as you dont say if you have the i9100 or not, hopefully you do.

its ok and same goes by my post as well buddy..we all been in his position one way or the other
1st - Your phone is not bricked if it show an image. Whatever image it is. The only real software way to brick your phone is to flash bad bootloader or stop a bootloader while they are being flashed. However, Bootloader are flashed first. So if your phone stoped half way, you should not have trouble too much.
Remove the battery from your phone for like a minute, then reboot your phone in download mode (vol- + home + power and when the phone light up, release power.) Then flash another rom from odin.
Also, what rom did you used ? If you flashed a rom for another phone, then you might have flashed bootloader for that phone on yours, which is bad. In this case you will surely need a JIG.
sorry im new to this whole rooting/flashing thing. i downloaded the lightning rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
i have never rooted or doneanthing to my s2 before. all i did was follow the instructions on the page and thought it would be all good? it froze about a quarter of the way there in odin so i just took my phone out.
I usually find from this state I can get back to bootloader or download states
push and hold vol+ and home then power for bootloader
push and hold vol- and home then power for download
sometimes the phone can seem to freeze a little or even die (this happened to me loads on the galaxy s and once already on the s2) and removing battery sim etc or attaching the charger can jog it
however as other have said a JIG is your friend if for no other reason that even if you recover without it, custom roms up the rom count which some twitchy carriers might invalidate your warranty for, the jig will reset this
you can get them from ebay for less than £3 delivered, or there are instructions on this site for making them yourself if you are so inclined.
simply search 'galaxy s2 jig' on ebay mine was delivered today from portugal as I am way too lazy to make one and only wanted a counter reset anyway

Bricked phone

Ok guys so basically I bricked my phone again. Please read through the whole thing before replying anything.
So basically this is what happened:
-I had XperiaTized v7 patched rom flashed, everything working fine
-I tried legend 7 or something and flashed. It was pretty buggy.
-So I flashed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437426&highlight=recovery I flashed the GB one first
-I booted and guess what I still had legend 7.
-So I flashed Froyo recovery which was attached on the same post to see how it was; I was curious and never tried froyo before I heard battery life was quite okay.
-So I booted to find that legend 7 was STILL there. In case you dunno, the recovery zips actually overide CWM so I'm left with the stock recovery.
-So I was like ah wth and I used the file manager provided by legend 7 to delete some useless files on the sd card.
-So I rebooted and to try to flash CWM but it got stuck on the samsung screen. (I actually pressed reboot to recovery on the power menu)
-I panicked and I pressed the home button nothing happened.
-I held the power button to try to restart but same thing happened.
-I removed the batt and went to charge cuz I realised it was quite low after flashing the last 3.
-When I plugged it in the the screen lit up but I was not greeted with the usual power icon.
-I unplugged after a few minutes and tried to boot. The screen lit up a bit but nothing happened. I'm really panicking now. It's quite a new phone. Please help I'm like pulling my hair out now.
PS I know there's a way to get to download using the keys but I don't have cooper.ops cuz all the download links are dodgy. If anyone has the file please let me have it all the roms I have I flashed through CWM.
Help will be greatly appreceated!

Maybe you will be billed for repair maximum the same price of new ace , if you honest to samsung officer. Or free if you said,bla-bla, sudenly my phone stop working (at the end you get oscar, become movie actor, kidding ).
What? Billed the price of a new ace just to replace the board? Might as well just get a new one!

As I said, if you honest to samsung service center officer that you bricked your phones because installing custom rom make your waranty void.
Imho, price of board wont far from new ace price, because main components phone assembly are lcd, board, battery and casing. You can weight cost of these component.
Hint
Can you enter dowmload mode?Maybe you can use odin and repair it.
Yup that's what I'm couting on.

Like said here before, if you installed CWM on an unsafe Kernel (usually Stock Kernel present on 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 Stock Firmware) and after that wiped your data/cache etc. there is a good probability that you hard-bricked your device. Not even JTAG will help, if it`s the eMMC hardbrick.
Try to get into download mode and flash a Stock 4.0.3 Firmware and if you can`t then try a USB Jig to get into download mode and if that doesn`t work you probably hardbricked your device as described above

I Used Odin 3 1.85 to install CMW. While the installation process taking place an error occur. and automatically shut down. show up an message
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. try to connect kies...." after 10-15 mins showing this message
display gets black and stuck. i tried everything that is possible to me. press and holding power+VOL up+home together, leave it for charge etc.
but nothing works
COULD ANYONE HELP ME ON THIS SITUATION. :crying:
As said before, Try power + volume Down + home and flash a stock firmware through Odin
And is there still any life at all? What about when charging. Is there the charging animation?

I love comments like this. Well if you don`t read properly how and what to flash at what time to your device and just do as you think is right then you are going to end up with a hardbrick. That`s nobodies fault but yours. Why did you buy an Android phone in the first place if you can handle an IPhone better?

If you have an hardbrick and you can`t even get into download mode, what do you expect people to do? We are normal human beings here, there are no miracles here. If you have an hardbrick, you can try to repair it via Jtag or send it to a Samsung service center if you are still on warranty but if you complain about Android and how much it sucks you won`t be making many friends here, since this is an Android community.

Then you have done something wrong like flash wrong firmware/pit file or flashing has been interrupted etc.
You will need to send away for repair or mobo replacement.
Please title your thread in a way that you can get more relevant views. It helps you get better results and helps those that need help with the same issue get help!

Of course they can fix it, they'll log in to xda, fix your device and charge you for it.

Are you sure you were flashing the right firmware? The one meant for I9100? Even if flashing gets interrupted then still you can always go into the download mode.
