Bad advice.
@ OP
If you can go into odin mode, simply flash Siyah kernel and then you should be able to go into recovery or even probably boot into your rom. Try this before flashing a stock rom over your old.
If you dont care/need your current rom/data etc then flashing stock rom over is fine.
PS. In future look at the Q&A section or use search first, there are plenty of topics on "my phone wont boot" discussion so no need for another. Also use descriptive titles, not silly ones like this that dont describe your topic to browsers of forum in any way.
Thread closed
As stated, you need to use search and always give a better title than 'help needed please'. Advice has been given, thread closed.
Hi all,
Just flashed the jellyblast rom onto my s5830i, it's all working except I've got no signal/service.
I've been reading around and found that I might have to install a radio? If so, does anyone have any help as to which one?
Any help much appreciated, or if you need more info please ask.
Cheers,
Jack.

Well I'm using jelly blast no problem... I'm guessing you're using 3.0.5 (latest) did you first flash 3.0.4? If not i suggest going back to stock then 3.0.4 then .5
You might of had some random conflict if you flashed from another custom ROM to Jelly Blast
Also what do you mean radio?
The app? That's included in Jelly Blast, well it is in 3.0.4 (that's what I'm using)
Oh and apparently I'm now meant to tell people to ask questions and stuff in the sticky thread (The one by "iamareebjamal"), or post this in the jelly blast thread to help keep the general section free from spam
The usual Xx James xX only on mobile (XDA Premium)
I think you've lost your IMEI (don't worry it's not lost, this rom somehow can't read your IMEI number). Please check your IMEI number by using *#06# on call screen.
If you can't see your IMEI number, install GalaxyToolbox and check the IMEI from there. If you can see the IMEI from GalaxyToolbox, it means IMEI is still there but rom can't read it.
Please install any other rom. (you can/should backup your IMEI by using GalaxyToolbox before doing anyting on your system)

Thanks for bricking my phone.....
it doesn't work my phone can't go into CMW or boot now i would be extremely grateful for some help please.
@jrtbing, lets dig some graveyard mate, shall we First of all jellyBlast was band from XDA ages ago ( not to be mention there are far more sophisticated stable Rom @ Dev sub forum)
As for your problem goes, please remove your battery for ~1 Minute ( don't make any difference though, just for discharging purposes ).
put it back and try press and hold the Volume Up + Home keys and then long press the Power key till the start up screen with “Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i″ logo blinks for two times and you see your desired recovery screen.
If the combo keys provided don't be effective ( due to possible boot loop, corruption of your partitions; kernel ,,etc,,etc,,) we need to check your download mode by pushing (Volume(+) + Volume(-) + Power) simultaneously ,, still no use,, You probably hard-bricked your device mate. USB jig might be your last solution to force your device get into Download mode, nothing will be guaranteed though.
Hey everyone, I just tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 and I believe that I used the wrong rom (for I9300). Ever since I rooted it I can't use the phone, whenever I turn it on it just goes straight to the "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!". I can't exit download mode (tried pressing volume up+power+home) All I can do is re-enter download mode by pressing volume down+power+home. Please help! What should I do? I don't know where to start and I really hope I haven't turned my precious into an expensive doorstop.
Try reflash stock rom I9305

First you posted on the wrong forum the I9305 has a separate Q & A thread. Onto though your problem though... your phone is on a semi-brick state since it can still boot into download mode so there's still hope... what I can recommend you to do is that you flash a stock rom this time make sure its for the I9305 branch and not the I9300 one just go to Sammobile and search. If that still fails then better wait for a more experienced user to give you a possible fix as i don't own an I9305 one.
It seems hard to find the stock rom on sammobile for the I9305, I'm aware I'm a complete noob when it comes to this stuff but usually I'm pretty good at finding these things... Has anyone got a link to it?

You should've just posted the link of the firmware section of Sammobile and not copy paste it as a whole... look it's all messy and much more confusing.

Success!!
I was in a similar situation to our unfortunate friend, biggyjurss. I nearly gave up all hope of ever restoring my phone (SIII GT-19305) to the way it was. I really didn't think there was any way back from being stuck in the download screen that will still haunt me the rest of my days. With everyone's help, I managed to restore everything to the way it was!!!! **** YEEEAAHH! I have learnt a valuable lesson in not to EVER attempt rooting a phone again unless I really know what I am doing and I have done my research. I want to thank everyone on this thread for helping me out!
i'm having this exact same problem after doing the exact same mistakes and nothing seems to be helping. I've already wiped everything from the phone and tried Kies to getting the phone back to stock, but Kies just crashes in the process. I can also get to the boot menu and to the download menu, but nothing helps. The phone just keeps coming back to the downloading screen. Please help :crying: I thought there would be no trouble with rooting your phone since every site just said how easy it is...
THANK YOU!
I made the same error (flashed i9300 instead of i9305), and got stuck too.
Tried flashing the rooted i9305 to no avail.
Had to cross my fingers hoping that my laptop's BSOD doesn't come when I was downloading the stock off Sammobile. (I get intermittent BSODs, usually because of the heat. My laptop is old.)
It's now working again after flashing the stock firmware.
Thank you all, once again!

I do not have the Korean model, but understand your present moment of craziness. I am sorry if I may not b able to provide you with actual technical support. however, if you find someone that can help here, they might need a bit more information. I have looked at the thread and wow, flashing is a bit more involved with you model.
don't get offended when I ask you some very basic questions here, many times it is something so simple and was simply overlooked. I thought that I had read somewhere else that the screen you posted was an alternate download mode screen. I always make extra preparations when I need to Odin anything.
did you read OP ? (I know, but I read several times) I read some of it and it seems as if you are not the only one to have similar problem.
did you et ALL the files you needed ? do you know where they are ?
were there any tutorals on Youtube ? they helped me
did you actually rehearse ? silly, I know. walk though everything in your head an compare to thread / youtube.
I hope somebody else will come around offer some more help, sometimes when someone brings up the most basic things, it triggers switch, and you realize what went wrong.
I hope this does that for you, good luck
Its there a way to reboot normally or its it broken i have read it a lot and prepared everything when i tried it fail i'm not sure how to restore it because when i try plug it in to my computer it doesn't come up only on Odin i tried kies did not find my phone so yeah oh and i tried to reboot in to recovery mode didn't work so i'm kina stuck and as far as i know it could be in a bootloop or somthing.
Many thanks,
Adam
Is download mode boot looping? If so it sounds like a stuck power button. Try tapping the power button rapidly and see if it stops looping.
Odin won't recognize a looping device. Neither will kies. Once you stop looping flash files again.

may I suggest posting under the general forum here, there is a sub forum for your device there which may give you some more target specific technical help.
just go back out from here and up t the general section. it might be about 5 or 6 threads down. there may be more people there with same device with a post as recent as yesterday.
good luck and keep us posted here. you are getting some reaction from your phone so I am sure it is not bricked.

Hello,
Please help!... I am unable to use my phone after doing something that maybe I shouldn't have done!!
First let me go through some steps that led to the phone becoming unusable.
1) First I successfully rooted the phone (using instructions off the net)
2) I tested the rooting by clicking on the SuperSU App and granting the necessary permissions.
3) Next I downloaded the Titanium Backup and successfully backed up my phone
4) Then I decided to go back into the SuperSU (just to see what kind of things I could do with the superuserApp)... and a POP-UP Window appeared. Now I really can't remember the exact message but it basically was asking me if I wanted to perform some sort of conversion. Without giving it too much thought and like an idiot I just clicked on YES. The phone then rebooted and remained STUCK on the screen where the "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100" message flashes up with a yellow triangle exclamation mark below (please see attached pic). It doesn't matter how long I wait or how many times I reboot the phone remains stuck on this screen.
Please note the following:
-- If I press (Volume Up + Home button + Power button) simultaneously the same screen appears (ie the Samsung Galaxy message) however long I keep the buttons pressed.
-- If I press (Volume Down + Home button + Power button) I get something different happening ie A warning message about custom OS (see attached pic) and when I press the Volume Up button to continue I get the screen with the Android symbol and the word downloading below it with some ODIN Mode information at the top of the screen (see attached pic).
I'm praying AND got my fingers arms & legs crossed that I haven't "bricked" the phone!!
Please please help!... I would really appreciate your assistance in getting my phone working again (if it's at all possible now).
Oh and apologies if I have posted in the wrong area.
Many thanks in advance.
Kieron
@Kieron139 as far as I know you have done something to your system which doesnt allows it to fully boot aka soft brick. The yellow triangle is just an download counter a bit. But you can reset that but I only did that when I sold it, triangle is cool.
What you can try is to download Odin on pc, follow odin guide in general I believe for the s2 and flash back to stock.
Tip: dont turn off your phone if download mode failed, just reconnect the cable.
@wulsic ... many thanks for the quick reply!
I have the ODIN program, I used it (with the appropriate jar file) when I rooted the phone. However I'm not sure how to flash is back to stock using the odin program, also I'm new to this site so can you tell me where I can find the odin guide explaining how to do this... or if there is a "how to"thread explaining step by step how to flash back to stock?
Kieron
@wulsic... I managed to find step by step instructions to flash back to stock, however as well as the ODIN program it says I need to have a copy of my stock ROM.... but where do I get this from?
@Kieron139 it tooksome timemy tablet hanged but here is a guide,
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...e-guide-using-odin-de-bloat-root-recover.html
You only need to find the galaxy s2 stock rom from internet and download it, the flash it in pda and see the guide for more details. Make sure you have the s2 firmware not aother one.
Edit: :/ that post timing. But I will find a link for you now.
@Kieron139 here find the s2 firmware from sammobile.com and samsung-updates.com
@wulsic ... that's super! will access the links, download the ROM and let you know how I get on!... but it may take me a little longer than it should as I'm going to take my time and follow the instructions carefully so I don't muck it up lol
@Kieron139 No problem, take the time. Better to do it slowly then bricking your phone. I will respond as fast as I can when you have a question but I can't answer directly maybe when your rom download is done. Goodluck! :good:
@wulsic ... I think I still need your help with identifying the correct stock ROM file. The two links you gave, I couldn't work out how to search for the file in the first one but in the second one when I searched using my model (ie GT-i9100) I got a list of downloads to choose from for different regions. Now I'm based in London UK and the phone is unlocked but was with the Three.co.uk network provider (I'm not sure if this information is relevant but I thought I'd mention it just in case). Anyway I've attached a screen shot of a part of the list that comes up but its not the compete list.
Please note I found another link describing how to flash back to stock and it mentions I need a file called "I9100XWLSW_I9100XXMS2_I9100XEULS5_HOME.tar.md5".
Anyway could you please help me with choosing which firmware file I need to download?
Thanks
@wulsic Ooops forgot to attach the screenshot in prev reply
@Kieron139 in the first one you had to go to firnware, scroll down then enter device.
You dont need the exact android stock version from xwlsw just find a stock one from the 2 sites I provided and then download and flash it. I am trying to find and copy one for you but my tablet keyboard doesnt show up always, lowramdevice.
I see you tagged me again before I could finis typing my message xd.
I suggest to use xwms3 since its the latest stock version and should also work fine with your phone in UK.

Any of the firmwares on the above screenshot should be fine as they all are genuine samsung stock roms for i9100
Download one of them and follow the guide which wulsic posted and you will be fine :good:
@wulsic ...ok will do, and sorry for being a pain! just want to make sure I don't go installing the wrong one
@-shaMe- Thanks
@wulsic Great news!... phones working again! :victory: :good::good::good:
Thank you so much for you help and for your patience!
I now have a working phone again
Best regards
Kieron
@Kieron139 Nice now if you have that problem again you know now how to fix it.
Also an tip for if you start flashing custom roms like cyanogenmod, recovery and kernel are builtin one boot.img so if you flash an recovery for stock but you have cyanogenmod then the rom will not boot anymore. (Cyanogenmod and other custom roms have recovery also builtin their rom.)
If your boot.img is corrupted and recovery/rom doesnt boot anymore then I suggest to flash an recovery with odin instead of reflashing the whole stockrom.
@wulsic ... Thanks for the tip!
Btw I'm still a bit new to this site but how do I "thank" someone for their help?... some sites have a button next to the replies which you can click to say if the reply was helpful, couldn't see anything like that here?
A couple of other quick questions. I'm very happy with my Samsung Galaxy SII but it is frustrating that it no longer receives any software upgrades/improvements. So which custom rom would you recommend? ie is cyanogenmod the best one?... also once a custom rom is installed can the phone still be rooted?
Cheers
K
@wulsic Ignore the "how to thank someone" question in my last message... I wasn't logged in so couldn't see the thanks button!! lol
@wulsic
There's a bunch of custom ROMS mentioned in the link below which will update my phone to android 4.4.4. What do you think of the ROMs and which would you recommend?
