if you can enter downloading mode by holding power button , volume down and home button then just flash stock rom with odin.

I used Odin to flash the latest Tar and it said success. Have been on the "Samsung Screen" for a have hour now, flashing and the led flashing low and bright. Also, there is no stock recovery installed (can not boot into it).

which tar did you install? Stock rom should take you back to stock recovery

Unlocked, rooted and custom ROM, can it be hard locked.
HI!
I used this forum to unlock, root and install a custom ROM on my Samsung SIII, and my HTC one x! It was soo useful - going from having no idea to following the steps and doing it myself (with a few scary moments). Anyway, I have a question if someone has my IMEI can the phone be hard locked/bricked (both phones were purchased second hand) and if they can be can I unlock them again?
THANKS!! :victory:

[Q] Galaxy Ace GT-5830i stuck in recovery mode

Hello all,
I have an issue with my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-5830i that is stuck in Android system recovery (3e) mode, and it seems there is no way to get it out of there.
- upon selecting wipe data/factory reset the device is stuck with one message "multicsc: src /system/csc/MTL/system/ ." and "Formatting /data..." bellow
- upon selecting apply zip from the SD card the installation always fails with various error messages (I tried to install cyanogen mod rom in an attempt to recover, but failed as well)
- upon selecting reboot now the whole screen disappears with only the "multicsc: src /system/csc/MTL/system/ ." message at the bottom of the screen and I need to remove the battery.
I will greatly appreciate if anyone on this forum could help with the issue, as I have search for possible solutions without any luck so far, and my phone appears to be bricked.
Thank you,
John
My guess is u still on stock recovery. Flashing cm rom or any other custom rom needs clockworkmod recovery, moroever theres no cm rom for s5830i yet.
For now u could try to reflash stock rom with odin. Theres a thread somewhere guiding howto do so for s5830i. Also do note that anything for original s5830 wont work on your s5830i.
Last but not least, do read more and understand what you're trying to do before u really hardbricked the poor thing.
Thanks for the pointers, I really appreciate it and everything works fine now.
It was actually my nephew's phone, so I have no idea how he managed to brick it like that.

I have the exact same problem. Except I can't even enter into download mode. Phone boots into recovery mode regardless of what buttons I press, get stuck at "formatting /data", and I can't flash anything. All the buttons seem to function as intended in the recovery menu, so it's not a hardware failure. Any ideas?

Flash stock rom thru odin then from recovery mod Clear data and cache then reboot. [emoji4]
I know this is kind of old but I have same problem, i got this phone from cousin and it wasnt booting , it was going straight into recovery, since my mother has same phone and i used odin before to save her, i am familiar with odin so, I tried new firmware flash with odin , it passed on odin but again doesn't want to finish install on the phone, it says
installing update...
--appling muti-csc --
Fromatting /cache...
-- Appling Muti-CSC __
and it wont go anywhere from there , and if I reboot it goes back in recovery again and it wont format data again, formatting cache works. I also tried to flash cm7, rooted it, installed cwm but when i do reboot it is not in cwm but in regular recovery, so after that I installed cwm again and without reboot installed cm7 kernel wich succeded , after that installing the cm7 itself stuck on "installing update" , could this be hardware issue, it always seem to be stuck when its doing something with "data". I tried couple odin flashes multi package and single package, i was carefull to chose correct firmware, only thing i could make mistake is maybe with pit and re-partition. Anyone help i would appriciate it much since i have no other phone than this.

Which variant of S2 do you have? What did you flashed for superuser? You probably flashed the wrong file, flash stock again in odin or restore if you have a nandroid backup, then find whatever you need to flash properly, we can help you if you give us more information.

Can you go to download mode? (press down+ home+ power) when the phone opens, stop pressing the power button but keep pressing other buttons. If you can go to download mode, flash your stock firmware again via odin ( you can download your stock firmware from samfirmware.com) , if you get bootloop after that, go to recovery and delete data and cache.

Are u sure u are doing everthing correctly? You need to download stock from your region, check if you stock firmware is correct, you can search your development forums for stock firmware mirrors or you can download from samfirmware.com , you need to put it on PDA, and then just flash.

Before i update SuperSU, My WeChat Can't open moment, i know it problem in WeChat apps. Btw my SdCard not detect. And my gallery can't open and show the text "Not enough space. Delete unnecessary items such as ... pictures, videos..." that why i exchange to revolutionROm. It like Samsung note 3/Galaxy s4. Then SuperSU command update a SuperSU in CWM and i have a problem. -_- . now my phone back to normal, just gallery can't open. I remove the SdCard. it same.
As the message said, delete unnecessary items, if that doesn't work, format sd card (internal and external both) and if that doesn't work, use nuke script, re-install rom.

[Q] Stuck on boot logo - GALAXY Pocket Neo GT-S5310 - Can't access recovery mode

Hi
I have a Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo GT-S5310...
The sad thing is that, a while ago it stopped working and now it's stuck on the boot screen (Samsung GALAXY POCKET Neo GT-S5310)
I have tried to perform a factory reset through the built-in recovery mode (volume up + home + power), but unfortunately, I couldn't access the recovery mode and the phone goes directly to the boot screen.
And since the only thing I could do was accessing the Download Mode, so I tried to recover it by installing an official firmware with Odin3_v3.07... but it didn't solve the problem...
So what would you guys suggest?
can't delete this reply... could an admin please do it?

S5310i 4.4.2
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Anyone found a solution to this?
When you use Odin to flash, when it has finished, it always boot to recovery, there you have to wipe data and cache, then it works properly!

After flashing recovery with odin I am still stuck at the S5310 Neo splash screen unable to boot into recovery. Has this maybe got something to do with a conflict between android versions? As the S3510i comes with 4.4.2 stock, not 4.1.2.

Thanks for your help. Could you please explain more about this? Where would I find the pit file to flash? Do I tick re-partition in odin? Never flashed pit before. worried about bricking the device.
I am struggling to find the PIT file for my specific device (S5310i). its only on a handful of websites asking for paid subscriptions. Could anybody possible direct me to where I can find:
CORSICAVE3G_EUR_OPEN. Pit
I have downloaded the corsicass.pit and S5310_corsicass.pit but am not sure if this will work on any S5310 variant?

Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6 (YP-GS1 Europe) stuck on recovery menu

Hi guys, I've got the European version of the Galaxy player 3.6, and I'm stuck on recovery: The home button doesn't work, and I believe it's because I flashed 4.2 kernel by mistake, when on android 2.3.6.

I have tried to search for this issue but I haven't found an answer, so I posted it here, is there anything I can do or is this dead for good? Thanks in advance

It's on the device.. Uhm it's basically something that appears whenever I turn on the phone, I can't access recovery or anything else, I can get to the part where it asks me to press vol up, but when I let go of the other buttons to press vol up it goes to the firmware screen, and I've tried almost everything, I tried not letting go, pressing volume first then letting go, trying to outspeed it, but it just won't work

at first the touchscreen didnt work, I don't really remember what I did after that and then just got stuck on recovery, now I cant even access recovery..
How do I use ADB?
EDIT, I flashed a stock rom with odin, but the kernel is probably still wrong, since I can't use the touchscreen.. but not stuck at that firmware thing anymore.. I'll try flash the kernel you recommended
EDIT 2: I can't flash it for some reason, it gets stuck at NAND Write Start!! any other kernels you can recommend?

So, you can get to download mode? Then you shouldve flashed the kernel first. And then flash stock rom through recovery mode! You dont flash a rom with odin.
ok, so where is that NAND write start showing? if its on ODIN. use another odin version, try this one by androthan http://www.mediafire.com/download/82latn22s1kl7w2/andromint-Odin3-v1.85.zip
built especially for YP-GS1 eu.
Then flash stock kernel by zaclimon. Then boot to recovery and flash stock rom through recovery.
Heres another kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43190038#post43190038 but that kernel is just for that exact rom. And some other features not working. Check out the thread!

Thanks mate, I'll let you know how it goes!
EDIT: I'm flashing a lot of kernels now, trying to get one that works, but no luck, what would I have to do, step by step? I have a stock rom that I flashed with odin.. no touchscreen or buttons working (except for the power button)

Open odin v1.85
Press PDA, select kernel, .tar file (this kernel by zaclimon http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198234 )
Power off device then go to download mode
Click start on Odin.
Now you should be able to boot to recovery.
Wipe cache, data, factory , dalvik
Download stock rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=7404 ) then copy to device
On recovery, select install zip from sdcard, select stock rom ^
Reboot.

I flashed the kernel with odin, but after i got a screen saying samsung, with an error icon or something on the bottom.. and didn't go to recovery, it then booted into the rom I have.. is there a way to get into recovery on this device? I have tried a lot of common button combinations but no luck..

So your phone is unbricked now? Pressing Home + Volume up + Power button is the proper mode in booting to recovery mode. Or if you could access internet on the device, install some apps that let you boot to recovery mode (like the RebootManager). The error at the samsung boot logo is perfectly normal!

The touchscreen still doesnt work though.. I got to the recovery, but the home button doesn't work.. so I can't select wipe data, and I've also tried the power button which didn't work

I think theres something wrong with the device itself not the software. Hardware buttons difficulties I suppose.

It worked before I messed up the 4.2 kernel.. so I don't think it can't be the hardware.. Also the power button works to boot into download mode and recovery..

hahaha uhm, be careful though! I'm certain there's a way to fix it, but since we don't know it.. Would a restore of a back up fix the problem? (curiosity, since I can't even do that )
