I recently updated my phone from 2.3.3 to Cyanogenmod 7.1 I believe and went to overclock the phone, Unfortunately, I overclocked it too much and now it is stuck in an endless loop on the boot screen..
Phone is obviously a Galaxy Ace, Network carrier is Vodafone UK.
I have been trying for the last two hours to look for answer's on how to fix this and I haven't found anything, So I thought the best idea was to come to here.. Any help would be appreciated, I have also tried to install other ROM's on to the phone to correct it but it look's like the CPU is still at the overclocked setting and because of that, Won't boot up.
thanks.
Dan.
go to recovery and wipe data+cache and try to boot..
if still no luck --> ODIN

I tried wiping everything before but will give ODIN a try. Thank you. I really like the phone and am trying my best to get it working again. lol
So, I downloaded ODIN and I have absolutely no idea what I am doing.. I don't want to risk breaking the phone anymore.. The only tut on how to use ODIN is for the Galaxy 3..
I have never done anything like this before so it's all new to me.. :/
Ok, I used ODIN and I have the original ROM that came with the phone, But still in an endless loop on the Samsung boot screen.. :/ I am totally stuck now.. I have tried all I know to get it to work
I managed to sort the problem, the "One Package" on ODIN didn't work, Luckily I had the 4 seperate files needed on my laptop, So all is workign now.

Excellent work having a backup on your laptop. First thing now do a full backup on your phone before you think about further experiment. If overclocking make sure "set at boot" is not ticked. Finally read up a little on xda before you do anything - a good place to start is "Tutorial" on top of dev section and the "q & a " thread here.
I hope this works for You.
You've a one packege STOCK Rom?
so open ODIN 4.38
Untick Reset Time
Choose your one package file.
choose OPS; attatched here.
press start.
to sum up: you have this ticked only:One package, auto reboot, protect OPS
if doesnot work go to recovery and try factory reset& cache wipe.
if doesnot work, try flshing CWM and install any backed up rom, if you want one. just PM and i will upload backed up stock rom.
I really hope it helps because I got the same issue after flshing a stock from ODIN, but been removed from wipe data& factory reset.

I have an I777, I did a factory reset, and when it rebooted, I got the Galaxy sII image, but then just a black screen for 30 mins. I pulled the battery out, and now when I boot it, the SGSII logo appears, but just a black screen comes up. I can boot it into download mode by plugging it in by usb/vol rocker down. Did I brick it?
More info is needed for this...... Rooted? Stock rom or custom?

I had been running a rom for months, decided to try another, got that installed just fine (ICS) but was having some other minor issues (kies wouldnt connect etc) so i did a factory reset and thought I would just start fresh. On reboot to perform the reset it hung on a black screen.
Update, as of now I have used ODIN to flash CWM back on and gotten into recovery mode.
Do you have a nandroid backup from the original rom you were running? The ICS rom you installed, was it one of the leaks?
I would have made one, yes, but I don't have that computer any more (died). I had made one today before installing the rom, but I can't access it, it is on the phone

If you made a nandroid backup, you obviously have CWM recovery, right? Can you get into recovery mode by vol up + vol down + power, without being plugged in?
unfortunately no, the phone wouldn't do anything other than the SGSII screen, then black. I'm downloading the stock .tar file now and intend to just use odin to put it back to factory and start again
Check out Entropy512's Thread in Development regarding [Odin][Stock][Root]UCKH7/KK6 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root), any other files can be found in there. Its saved me many times.
thanks, that is exactly where I found everything, figure if i'm gonna keep buggerin with this phone, keeping those on the new computer can't hurt!
You weren't running one of the ATT ICS leaks were you? The "stock" ones come with a nice "feature" that can corrupt your internal memory and brick the phone when a wipe happens....
If your Odin back to stock doesn't work, this could be the case.

no, thankfully, and i just finished. With success, I am back to 100% stock, with the counter set to NO and my bootloader back to the i777. thanks for the help, panicked a bit. I am comfortable flashing roms with ODIN, I wasn't expecting it to hang using the built in restore feature, luckily it was minor.
Now to get CWM back, backup, and try some more ROMS
ICS AOSP question, my phone wont connect to kies to restore my phone but it does with stock/gingerbread roms i have tried

thats a statemnent, not a question.
and IRRC your correct. but Odin, and Kies, are both things that are not used often.
Odin, should just be used to get back to stock. Kies....well IDK what that even does, but its from samsung. so it sucks.
Odin should not be used as a tool to flash ROMs.
that indeed was a statement, somehow the end of my question got cut off, either on my computer, or, more than likely, in my head. anyways, i don't use kies ever, I only used it as an easy way to back up all my contacts, calender etc, which now i cannot retrieve
Yeah from the little I've used it, Kies is just a browser based backup app, but only for pics/music/etc. I think OS updates come through it but there's nothing like CWMs restore/backup options..
I actually uninstalled it on my Mac cause it prevents Heimdall (a Mac version of Odin) from properly connecting to my phone.

I am having the same problem. I rooted my Samsung i777 and then decided to factory reset it. I did and it went blanked with a black screen and did not want to turn on. Please help.
ok, I need some help here..
was running rooted ics roms for weeks now, and was trying to go to the new cm 9 nightly today.
I was using twrp for recovery, and it would not flash that way, so I went back to cwm recovery.
Then, I tried to flash h0tw1r3's version of cm9 first, then I would flash the new cm 9 nightly; never got to that point..
After flashing that, i went into a boot loop, so i want back to cwm, and tried to wipe, and flash it again, but I got locked up in cwm, with no menus at all..
Well, I decided to just Odin back to factory, which didn't work; both rooted stock GB, and unrooted stock GB...I am not a veteran of odin,and, since I am on a mac, I ran it in a virtual machine, the same way I originally did it when I got the phone months ago. It goes through all the steps that make it look like it worked, but, once the phone reboots, I get the first and second "samsung" screens, but then the screen just stays black, and nothing happens..
I can get into download mode, and, flash via odin, and it says "success", and looks like it should work, but it doesn't...
Can anyone suggest something else to try, or, maybe the proper .tar file to try?
I think my phone is probably still on an ICS leak, and that might be the problem. but, obviously, I can't get it to boot, no matter what I flash through Odin..
Thanks so much to anyone who can help..I am hoping I don't have a brick,which I don't think I have, since I can get into download mode with no problems...
EDIT: Got it to work with a stoick tar from Dar8!!
Good job
thanks..

Hi there i have a SGH-i717 with AT&T 2.3.4 Stock installed..I did have Cyanogen 10.1 and Avatar all installed in the last 72hrs..I have wiped all that and did a return to the stock AT&T thinking that my HOME keys would return..NO LUCK..The problems started about 4 days ago when the phone started turning itself off automatically..I changed custom ROM's etc to try and fix the problem..then i read to use Kies to try and do a Firmware Upgrade and Initialization to go back to the start when i first got the phone..But now Kies will NOT recognise the phone..I have re-installed drives, Kies to no avail..Any tips ?
Also someone suggested to flash this kernel h0tcakez-JB-Kernel-v2.3.5-ALT but when i tried through system recovery is gives a falied error..
I have nothing on the phone i need to worry about loosing...Cheers

If you are on stock 2.3.4 and tried to flash that kernel .. that is why it failed .. it would be the wrong kernel for that rom. Did you flash a stock rom in recovery? If so then I would suggest using oden to return to stock . then see what you end up with.

Thanx for you reply..I did however flash stock 2.3.4 from oden..I deleted everything in recovery then went to oden and flashed the stock rom..Should i unroot/unbrick flash from oden?
That article about returning to original settings in Kies seems to make sense except for the fact that i cannot get Kies to recognise the phone...
Are we talking about Software ou Hardare issue in your opinion?
Cheers
Could be a hardware issue. Try this ... Put the phone into download mode then connect to the pc. Use the cable that came with the phone. Also use a port on the back of the pc ..not a hub. Then open kies and do the emergency firmware update.
Also ... When you used Odin to go to stock ..you installed the 3e recovery ..that's why it failed to flash. Which is a good thing. That kennel would have boot looped you.

The lap top is fine. Emergency firmware is through kies and not Odin. You need download mode ... Not recovery.

Hi there thanx for your answer..I have not tried at that site..this program will do what? COMPLETELY wipe my phone??cheers
It will, it completely erases everything. Replaces recovery and losses root. Very simple to use, I use it every other month.

Yep i used it..very good..But my original and main problem..Continues..NONE of my HOME keys are working..I fear that it is a Hardware issue with the SGH-i717..I guess i have to take it to Samsung for repair..Until someone else can give me a solution..I have tried everything and nothing has worked..No HOME keys..Cheers
Definitely not a hardware issue, there where some changes made IIRC in the kernel driver files, once flashed they prevented the homerow buttons from working normally, the only way I ever found to make them work right was to flash the Flappjaxxx alternate kernel series, let it boot, then return completely to stock!
If you dig around, FJ's alt kernel's are around here somewhere!

Good morning, well i believe i have finally arrived at a possible solution..I have searched hi and low for these Flappjaxxx alternate kernel ..I came up with a daunting array of alternatives for the complete amatuer as i am..I appreciate that your time is precious but i do need some general direction what exactly i am searching for..I have found this one but to be quite honest i am not sure if i need this whole ROM or just the Flappjaxxx alternate kernel'a..
http://db.communityrelease.com/developer_display.asp?DeveloperID=11381
https://github.com/flappjaxxx/kernel_samsung_sghi717
Also when i do eventually obtain the Kernel that i am looking for can i use ODIN to flash it? I installed this ROM which i beleive to be stock already..You wrote that i need to return COMPLETELY to stock..What is that 2.3.6???

My work schedule is absolute hell, and due to people flaking at work I have been called in 2x to cover on my only days off...
Needless to say, im about to pass out, so im going to make this useless post...
Either I, or someone else can link you to a FJ rom, and the FJ alternate kernel that match, what you will need to do prior is make sure you have EVERYTHING you want/need, backed up to GMail (in the case of Phone logs, SMS and MMS with the Backup to GMail app, yes, im whoring this fantastic app out) AND to your computer, NO not your SD card, but your computer!
Make sure you have the latest recovery (TWRP 2.5.0.0 is what I have, but whatever TWRP is latest will do), wipe everything, then install the rom, boot, wait 10min, reboot into recovery, flash the alt kernel, boot, wait 10min, then test the home/back/menu/search key row, they should work, at this point, you CAN go back to the 2.x.x rom you where running, but if you have an i717, I have had nothing but love for the Stock rom update on AT&T once I performed a complete ODIN to it (flashing the ones here on the forum's resulted in random reboots here and there, and while less then ever before, still annoying, after an ODIN however, havent had a random reboot yet!).
There are issues with the GNote i717 JB release, many posted here, and quite a few here:

Ok so I have a samsung galaxy s3 att and I have been rooted for the past month or so, no issues. Then, I decide to install a custom rom so I get a stable cm11 and attempt to flash it and it says my cwm version is too low so the reboot my phone so I can update it. The phone starts to boot and gets stuck on the att globe logo with the blue light pulsing. I shut off the phone, pull out the battery and try again, still nothing. I start getting scared so I restore the nandroid backup I made right before this custom rom incident and boot it, still gets stuck at the same place. I really need my phone fixed so can someone help me please??
I was talking to @sd_shadow on another forum earlier and was wondering if he could help me?

same happened to me use kies to restore firmware then re root and that
Thanks for all the help but luckily I was able to fix it. At first I tried to flash a stock rom but it didnt help and it erased by custom recovery so I plugged into odin and flashed the latest cwm recovery, and using that I flashed cm11 and now my phone is flawlessly running cm11! Thanks for all the suggestions though which I did try before this solution
