Hi all,I've bought my sony xperia s a week ago and i decided today to root it to flash it to cm 9.
I first unlocked bootloader following sony's steps. Then i rooted it with bin4ry's new method posted on this site and installed cmw recovery. SO far so good, phone was rooted and working fine.
Then i downloaded cm 9.1.0 nozomi to flash it. This didn't work in recovery due to known problem with "assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") = = LL getprop ("ro.build.product") == nozomi E:error in /sdcard/cm-9.1.0-nozomi.zip..." I found on this site the solution to delete first lines of the update script of the rom. I tried this and in recovery it could finally install cm 9.1.0. But when i then rebooted the phone i got the freexperia logo and then the startupscreen for cyanogenmod 9... and after that nothing. It remains stuck on the blue startupscreen for cm 9 and i can't do anything but reset the phone, but after rebooting i can't get into recovery anymore. I can only reboot to see the same screen over and over.
Have i bricked my phone? Do you guys have a solution?
Help would be much appreciated, thx in advance!
Just flash a new firmware through flash tool!

HI ALL I AM JUST STARTING THIS THREAD FOR ALL ACE5839i OWNERS OUT THERE
ROOT
TO ROOT YOUR PHONE GET YOUR PHONE INTO CUSTOM RECOVERY BY PRESSING VOL UP + HOME BUTTON+POWER BUTTON
AS SOON AS THE LOGO SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE 5839i APPEARS LEAVE POWER BUTTON

Did you reboot your phone after rooting?
You might have to remove your battery too, not necessary, but better
And SuperSU is superuser.SuperSU is made by another dev, that's all

You unfortunately cannot use link2sd with stock ROM
The other thing is that even a swap file is a bad idea on the 5839I
If it is on stock ROM , bricked one already.
Dont think I will worry about it again but you should try root validator instead of
Root checker I think some apps only like superuser and dont always recognize
SuperSU you can get a flashable zip from chainfire's website if the zip at the start
Of thread wont work, easiest way to check for root is probably to try and install
Busybox by the way,
One more thing, there is a file In system/etc that prevents apps to sd by
Deleting the apps to sd files at every reboot, could this be your problem?
Samsung were a bit naughty about things when they set the
firmware up
You can delete it at your own risk, did it myself last time around but to be honest I have some fifty odd
apps installed and after that the phone lacks internal memory anyway, samsung
Havent actually done too bad a job once you get rid of the added bloatware
I hope this info helps, and on stock ROM you also have to reflash CWM everytime you wish to backup or restore through ROM manager,
Good luck sounds like you might just be frustrated over nothing, lets hope so.
Ki113Ro
have realized since last post on this subject that as long as you don't try and instal apps 2sd script you CAN install link2sd and its working i also now realize that current kernel which is called Redbend UA has ext3/ext4 type support and since succesful install of link2sd have freed up maybe 40mb of internal memory.
I also wou.ld recommend Imbawind Adrenaline boost script v3 search xda for link to download. next thing is to deodex ROM so i can apply new jelly bean style i think. I have debranded ROM after CWM backup so can restore if needed .
Thanks to all the developers and people brave enough to risk bricking there devices because of all these people devices are getting better and
thanks to samsung and htc etc for listening to the consumer and making sure the changes others make are streamlined into there ROMs the new galaxy is much quicker than the old one Thank you.
Thanks have to go also to Google and everyone connected with the Android OS
Open source rocks big time.

I have been a member of xda for a good minute. So, I know not to post questions or ask for help unless you have exhausted all other means. Well, I have exhausted all means. I rooted my boyfriend lg p769 yesterday because I was tired of him complaining about the bloatware on his phone. I was stunned to find out that although it was rooted I could not remove the bloatware. I used root checker to check. So I searched xda and found out that the boot load on those phones is locked. I tried several different methods from the kdz to fastboot. None worked. So, I decided to try one last thing and decided that if it didn't work I would leave his phone alone. I searched google play and found some app that was to install recovery. I installed the app and told it to install clockmod recovery. When the phone cut off and back on it was stuck on the s/w updating screen. I searched xda and tried the support tool update, the guide that says unbrick/unlock bl, have also tried pc suite update and fastboot. Within fast boot it gets stuck on the wait for o...something something device. The update tool stops at downloading firm with an invalid path error. I don't know what else to do. I feel bad because I have my rooted s2 on rom deviant developers working just fine and he has nothing. I know in the past when I have softbricked my phones send it in and the manufacture did a warranty exchange. However, I don't want my boyfriend waiting 2-6wks to get his phone back. I am asking the xda community for any suggestions.
Welcome! You can try using fastboot to flash ICS x and u, then flash T-Mobile 20h using offline method.
After you root, I suggest installing L9Recovery followed by making a backup. If you want less bloat, you can try restoring a custom backup.

try this.
1. Press and hold the power button + volume up + volume down.
2. When you feel the vibration,release the power button.
3. When the Android logo appears, release the volume up.
4. You will see some running lines in the Android logo, hold still the volume down and wait for 10 seconds then release it.
5. Then let it reboot by itself.
6. Hard reseting done.
Hello guys
I've been searching for a few days how to fix this problem but nothing helps, so I came to ask here.
I've tried flashing emergency firmware , also with .pit files ; tried repairing it with KIES too. Nothing.
It's S3 Blue 16gb version.
It's impossible to get into recovery , but I managed to get in it with CWM(after trying at least 100 times) , and these are the errors I got.
i.imgur.com/duLiUsD.jpg

It shows Samsung galaxy S III logo and stays there or reboots all the time.
I can get into download mode and flash whatever I want with odin, but whatever I flash, same issue.
Looking forward to your advices/help. Anything would be appriciated.

I need to try like 100x times to just get into CWM and then when i try to wipe I get those errors I posted in photos.
Philz / TWRP doesn't even want to boot into them.
When I boot into recovery there is android standing and some sort of progress bar and it starts to fill and the phone restarts to galaxy logo again..

I tried flashing stock ICS but no luck.
I flashed stock ICS with "T flash" and " NAND erase " turned on and I just got android Downloading mode.
Then, I went to Kies and did firmware repair and I got past Galaxy screen and phone started turning on and installing apps
and rebooted again with the same issues.
