Hey. Im not sure if there is a thread similar to this or not, I tried looking around and cant see any. The one i did see, was for a tablet.
Here goes....
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i. It has gingerbread on. I rooted it 2 days ago as eventually I want to install JB onto it. I Tried to install TWRP (TWRP-2.4.1.0-cooper) onto my device, then rebooted after a 'successful' install. Only when I reboot, even now, it doesnt boot up. It gets to the Samsung screen, then stays there. Left it all night ( 12 hours or so ) and checked this morning, still the same.
HERE IS HOW I DID IT:
1. Rebooted into Recovery ( by holding Volume Up + Home + Power )
2. Apply update from sdcard
3. Scrolled to the file (TWRP-2.4.1.0-cooper)
4. Said successfully installed and rebooted.
I then swapped SD Card with another phone so i could remove this file of the Samsung phone, and replace with with recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix then put the SD Card back into samsung.
SOOO, today I tried the same procedure, but with another custom recovery (recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix) and now I get this messages:
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
I have even used ODIN, and tried to flash that way, BUT IT SAYS MY PHONE IS NOT CONNECTED.
All I want to do now is be able to boot, NORMALLY so i can access my phone again. My phone is on contract, so I cant send it back as it has been rooted.
PLEASE HELP.
thanks in advance.
P.S ON THE ACTUAL RECOVERY PAGE, I GET THIS ERROR MESSAGE:
E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)

of course.... how do you think you are goint to unbrick our phone then?
flash the original firmware for your. device which can be found on sammobile. com but then you will have to split the package by yourself... if you want to avoid tha pain of splitting package.. you can download the splitted package provided in the guide!

No you shouldnt. To make everything clear, the USA Samsung Galaxy Player has capacitive buttons. The international samsung galaxy player has a physical home button with capacitive menu and back buttons and that is one thing you HAVE to do is read the forum to see if it is compatible with your device. I understand that you are a noobie at this. There is a certain odin that will only work on our galaxy players the last tine ive read. Only Gingerbread roms (not including cm7) will have camera support. If you dont care about the camera, try cm10 when you get your kernel fixed. Please though, read what you have to do before you flash your device.

A few hours ago I tried to do a factory reset on my Ace, and since then the device has been constantly rebooting. I get the Samsung flashing loop, then a second of the stock Orange rom that came with the Ace (haven't rooted or flashed a new ROM on the ace. Only installed CWM recovery about a month ago in preparation for it but never actually got around to rooting) and the whole things starts over with the flashing Samsung picture.
tried to go to CMW and do a factory reset again from there but to no avail. tried to do mount USB storage to allow the PC access to the SD but nothing happens (PC doesn't react). Tried to go to as the FAQ suggested but it just shows me a black screen with one line - LK (Little Kernel) something and then proceeds on to its "normal" boot loop.
I tried browsing around the forum for a while and saw a few recommendations, mainly rooting and installing a new ROM or installing a stock ROM with Odin, however there are two problems
A)I have no idea how to use Odin, and I didnt root the system because I never could choose a proper ROM. was worried I might mess up seeing how I never actually tried rooting or flashing.
B)Seeing how the phone wont boot, and CMW wont let me mount the SD to the computer, is there any way to get mount that SD without swapping it into another phone?
What should I do? Is there anyway to fix this?

Is your phone s5830 or s5830i?
Choose the stock rom appropriate for your device and flash via Odin.That's your only choice and btw Odin doesn't require root.Check the guides to get back to stock Rom for detailed information.

Sometimes the phone goes into download mode but the screen doesn't show anything.Connect your phone to PC and try getting into Download mode with the key combination while booting up,if Odin recognizes your phone,flash the stock Rom.

I have a GT-i9100 and I was on this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489197 - Omega V24
I wanted to switch to 4.4.2, this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535369
So I tried to flash it but I got this error:
Finding update package....
Opening update package.....
E:Can't open /storage/sdcard1/cm-11-20140109-INFECTED-i9100.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
So I tried it with the KITKAT recovery in the thread and same error.
So I tried so flash Omega again, first it succeeded, but after the install I tried to reboot, and I got stuck in bootloop, it was booting and go straight to recovery, after that I tried it again and get this: finding package..... opening package.... and it just reboots to recovery.
So please help me!
Why can't I install both ROM's?
How can I get 4.4.2 working or go back to Omega because I can't use my phone now, only recovery and download mode, but I can't connect my phone to my pc because the USB port is not working good.....
Looks like you package (4.2.2) was corrupted (maybe bad download) or your recovery wasn't compatible (most likely). When you mess things up like this, first calm down and clear your data/cache, and flash your rom again. If that doesn't work, go to stock via odin and go ahead from there. Also, don't forget to make a nandroid backup next time and read instructions carefully and calmly.

This may work and someone else helped me to, I guess I can fix it but the problem is that my USB port is not working good so my phone can't connect to my pc, so I guess I can trow my phone away, I'm already looking for a new phone to buy, because I'm not gonna spend €45,- to fix my USB port when my contract is over in 2 months.

Hello all,
I am a first-time poster on XDA, but I've read loads on this site and want to thank everyone who contributes to it!
I managed to soft brick my S5830i while flashing a dodgy ROM, and am trying to unbrick. I've been trying to do this by flashing stock firmware through Odin, but I'm not having much luck so far. I keep getting write fails. I've used multi-file firmware (through Odin v1.85/v3.07) and single-file (through Odin v3.07). I've re-downloaded several different versions of firmware, and none have worked (i.e. I don't think it's a file error). I've tried with the cooperve .pit file, tried with the bootloader. I've turned off my antivirus. I've taken the SIM and micro SD cards out of my phone (I've tried taking the battery out as well, but then my drivers stop working!). I can boot into download and recovery, otherwise I'm stuck on a boot loop.
Odin has failed a couple of dozen times with different files, and sometimes just times out while initializing.
I feel like I'm running out of options - if anyone has any fresh ideas, I'd be grateful to hear them!
Thanks very much,

I had a go at your instructions. I've wiped the data and cache multiple times as you suggested, but I'd not thought of formatting /system, so I hoped it might work. It didn't - it looks like I can't wipe it... I get an error message:

I remember having problems mounting /system because of the ROM which bricked my phone in the first place! Maybe that's the problem? Any thoughts on how to get round it?

Thanks again,
In case it helps anyone else following these instructions, I found the tool. Search for "multiformatter" [note spelling]. The thread is number 2012003 and is called "[TOOL] Multi Formatter [EXT4 to RFS vice versa]" - go to page 6 as Hitesh said.
Okay, so I got the tool, flashed it on my phone, formatted everything to RFS. Once it finished I went into download mode, and tried flashing stock... still no luck! I've tried different files, different versions of Odin, different USB ports and it always gets stuck at initializing and hangs.
Any thoughts? I'm really grateful for the help so far.

Just to get closure on this thread,
I continued trying everything I could to flash different versions of firmware through Odin. It was a big help to format the system in RFS, so thanks for pointing that out. After that fix, Odin was still unable to communicate with my device... but after realising that the underlying problem was now dealt with, I moved on to flashing through CWM. I didn't manage to get anything done with Odin - might be my (only!) USB cable, or my USB ports, or any of the other millions things that could go wrong with it. But I successfully flashed AndroidScream in recovery and am up and running.

Just to get closure on this thread,
I continued trying everything I could to flash different versions of firmware through Odin. It was a big help to format the system in RFS, so thanks for pointing that out. After that fix, Odin was still unable to communicate with my device... but after realising that the underlying problem was now dealt with, I moved on to flashing through CWM. I didn't manage to get anything done with Odin - might be my (only!) USB cable, or my USB ports, or any of the other millions things that could go wrong with it. But I successfully flashed AndroidScream in recovery and am up and running.
Thanks again Hitesh, and also to the whole XDA community!

Hi
I am having the same problem with odin (3.7 and 1.84), its just not flashing the stock roms. I am running out of ideas and getting desperate. When you say you "formatted the system in RFS" do you mean you factory wiped your phone? If that is the case then no luck for me
Here's the Solution,

A Galaxy Ace Plus is not the equivalent of GT-S5830i. They most probably don't have the same chipset either, so DON'T TRY FLASHING GT-S5830i STUFF ON YOUR GT-S7500.
Instead, seek help on the relevant forums, and Google is also your friend.
Dude... ? I said my FRIEND has an ACE GT S5380i and she BRICKED her ace she asked me to help her out so... Please help... Me out...

What did she do to brick her phone? A ROM? A kernel?
And does she have a backup of the stock ROM?

Just Follow these TUT
Above all, do you have the Samsung USB drivers installed?
For CWM, there is a flashable temporary CWM, and several custom kernels already have CWM as the default recovery.
Please post the links as i dont know which thread to search for as i m nt familiar with d device

Do you mean you can't even get into recovery? If it can, I would think a data wipe might get the ROM to be able to boot.

You might want to double check if you are using the right version of recovery that kernel is fully supported with your ROM. For example, if you are trying to install a KK ROM using an old version of CWM you will end up in error 7 or end up in a boot loop screen. My words are pretty mess up but I hope you get what I mean. So make sure you have the right version that match each other (recovery, kernel, ROM).
Hope that helps.
im new to all of this. when i hold the home button the power button and the vol down button i get a screen telling me installing a custom os could be bad press up to continue i do this and install even the official software but when it reboots it keeps looping on the samsung logo

I suggest you flash a working recovery via odin first. Look for TWRP, it's the best newbie-friendly recovery or try CWM if you are looking for more advanced options. After that, flash a stock or custom ROM to get your phone back working. Make sure they are compatible with each other. Why didn't it work when you try flashing the stock firmware via odin? Make sure the zip file is downloaded properly.
Hope that helps.

It seems like you have broken files. Make sure those firmwares are for the right model of your phone. Are you using I9100 or I9100G? Is your phone still under warranty? What do you mean by not network based? I think it's time you head on to NeatROM JB 4.1.2 Aroma and flash that to your phone. It's way better than the stock one from Samsung. If you don't know how, read the instructions from the OP.
Hope that helps.
il give it a go

This error is most probably because you don't have the right Rom for the right model or not compatible hence the verification error. Are you doing this in recovery mode? Make sure you follow the installation instructions properly and download the right one for your phone model. Just try cyanogenmod for starter. Installation is easy to understand.

ok so i went to cyanogenmod downloaded the newest file for the s2 when i did unzip i get 2 folder meta-inf and system plus a boot.img file. i burned the boot file to a disc but when i check it the disk is empty even though i can see its burned. also when i go to sammobile to get firmare it says no files available...therte must be some way of getting this to work H E L PPPPPPPPPPP
Dude, you're not supposed to be burning anything to discs. The zip file is what the recovery uses to install from. It should include the custom kernal too.
Copy the zipped ROM file to your SD card, put it in your phone and boot into recovery. Assuming you've already flashed the latest custom recovery CWM or TWRP (I prefer TWRP)
From here, to be safe, do a full wipe (That's everything except sd-card: system, data, cache, dalvik-cache)
Now you install/flash the zip file via recovery. Hopefully that completes without error. After that clear cache and dalvik-cache again just to be sure (I do this out of habit)
Reboot.
Hope this helps. I saw you mention something about "efs" and that gives me a bad feeling, read something about needing to back that up before bad things happen. But anyway, good luck :good:
