I was trying to upgrade my Samsung Vibrant T959 from version 2.1-Upgrade1 to the [ROM] Eugene's Ginger Clone 2.2 Final *12/13/2010 available in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9841497#post9841497, however this has taken me to a major problem.
i have done all the steps available in the following post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
and when i did download the ROM i copied it to the mobile SDCard and rebooted, at the begging things went alright then it asked me to reboot from Update.zip when i clicked ok my mobile rebooted and took me to Black screen where i can see only Vibrant and Samsung logo and its stuck since over an hour
I have removed the battery and tried to go to recovery mode, however it gives me the standard recovery that will take me to the same black screen.
I tried accessing the mobile from USB, the pc detects it however i cant access the drives.
I hope i didnt destroy my mobile
Please help.
flashback using odin, make sure to hold down the volume buttons while powering on your phone, hope this helped.
When you are in recovery did you click reinstall packages?
btw is your phone rooted?
Thanks guys for your help.
Yes my mobile is rooted, as far as i know...
I'm able to access the recovery mode by pressing at both voluem bottoms and the power bottom.
I have tried clearing the cash and deleting user data, then reinstalling package after reboot...
Yet i'm getting Black screen with Vibrant and Samsung logo only...
i'm trying to download ODIN however i cannot access the SDCARD of the phone.. how to recover...
Please help.
Thanks
You're going to have to get your phone into download mode and Odin out. Search the stickies and read the bible on this. Once you're back to stock make sure you're rooted and have clockwork recovery installed then try again. PM if you need more help.

that happened to me a while back i couldnt access the sd, no worries once u go into download mode it should work, once u download odin hold down the volume buttons while u plug in the usb cable, it should work!!
Sorry guys i'm little noob in this, how do i know that i'm in download Mode ?
Is the Download mode is Andriod system recovery ?
It's not in the recovery. Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028&highlight=download+mode it's a great guide.
Just want to thank you guys for your advises, i managed to restore my Mobile via Odin.
That was really easy...
Hello friends,am in serious need of help,i plug in my ace to my computer using the cable and kies detected a new firmware which i tried to update to,after downloading finish to 100%,my phone restarted and shows downloading on the screen,for like 1hr it didnt change to any other thing and kies couldnt detect the phone,so i disconnected it from the cable,i removed the battery and inserted it again,now the phone can start up but all i can see on the screen is a computer icon with a phone icon,i dont know what to do,pls help...anybody with useful information or solution should post it here thanks.l
Remove then insert battery. Then try holding volume down and home button while holding power button. Will it go to download mode? If yes, read hubix's tutorial in the development subforum it's a sticky thread.

Next time , use ODIN for flashing firmware . Kies was NEVER EVER reliable .
go to recovery mode perform a factory reset/data wipe that should fix it
Please use ODIN and flash with the one-package file from samfirmware. I did the same when Kies bricked my phone too while upgrading to Gingerbread. It works!

Nope, there is no recovery mode accessible either when Kies bricks your phone. Happened to me so. Just a stupid screen with a computer and phone icon with <!> in between them. But anyway my suggestion above of using ODIN should help him out. =)
I am just sharing my experience and hope it helps.

You are responsible for taking risk of upgrading your phone or pc. I just shared my experience in hope if it helps someone.
I had bricked my phone once where I could just see black screen and after some tries white screen and nothing. I removed SD Card and SIM Card and kept it aside. I then removed battery and tried putting phone in download mode. It still did not work then I waited 4-5 min and then inserted battery again. Then I tried putting phone in download mode and it successfully gone in download mode. Then my phone was not getting recognized thru USB cable for ODIN. I changed USB port still same issue then restarted my PC and then I connected phone to USB port and finally got Froyo installed again on my Galaxy Ace thru ODIN.
My phone is bricked

This is my first post and frankly I am NOOB at XDA, Please help me. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i & all I want is to ROOT my phone & install CWM Recovery for testing Custom ROMs there. I read many threads here and learnt that I have to boot my phone in Recovery Mode as I am using Stock Kernel & Stock ROM. I followed the following Thread exactly and tried to use update.zip for ROOTing phone & ClockWorkRec5830i.zip file for installing CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552792
I took my phone in recovery mode by pressing POWER + VOL UP (same thing on screen appears when I press POWER + VOL UP + HOME). It shows the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i logo and at the bottom left corner is shows
=> Factory Mode
After 1 second it is displaying a yellow Triangle ’ ! ‘ sign inside. Not showing any Text there on the triangle page. Now if I press vol + or vol – or power button it is not working/changing the display. If I press the HOME button, then it is showing the following page:
Android System Recovery <3e>
Android System recovery utility
Reboot system now
Apply update from sdcard
----
----
----
Restore user data
Now when I am selecting Apply Update from SDcard by using VOL up/down and pressing HOME button it is not working but it is showing the first Triangle Page again. Then I have to press the HOME button again to see the default Android System Recovery <3e> page again. No options from that page are working not even reboot system now or wipe data/factory reset.
I tried it many times by removing SD card, SIM card etc from last 5 days and same thing happening. I have to remove battery to Switch OFF the phone. I think the kernel installed in my stock ROM got BUGs. And so that it is not working but I read that I can use ODIN to install CWM or ROOT package by taking my phone in download mode by pressing POWER + VOL DOWN (same thing on screen appears when I press POWER + VOL DOWN + VOL UP). In my phone when it is in download mode it is first showing the Ace Logo & in the bottom left corner:
=> Factory mode
After few second it is showing a page that is like:
Factory Mode
Full test
Item Test
Test Report
Clear Flash
Version
Reboot
Here I can select any option using the VOL key and select option by pressing the HOME key. All option is working OK here. I can reboot phone from here or reset phone to factory condition selecting “Clear Flash” option. I think this is not the download mode XDA members are talking about, I am confused totally. I installed KIES and Samsung Driver from many websites, used another PC and unfortunately my phone is not detecting by KIES or ODIN anyhow. I am sure I installed proper USB driver and used latest version of KIES and Samsung driver. I used ODIN 1.84, 1.85, 1.87, even 4.22 but none of them can detect my phone. I selected the debugging mode in my phone as well.
I can mound SD card in my PC and transfer files. In my Device Manager, It is showing Android ADB Interface and drivers are installed OK. I used SuperOneClick 2.2 and clicked Shell Root and SuperOneClick Log is showing my phone model, manufacturer name etc while ODIN is now detecting my phone (ID:COM) not being YELLOW.
So, I am unable to ROOT my phone & install CWM recovery there either through Default Android Recovery <3e> OR using ODIN because phone is not being detected there. My phone is working OK, my phone don’t have the default apps from Google like Gmail, Google talk, YouTube etc. it has play store & search app from Google only. All the functions of my phone working smoothly but I can’t install non-market app now. My phone info at Settings >> About Phone:
Model number: GT-S5830i
Android version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: S5830IZCLF1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #1
Build number: GINGERBREAD.ZCLF1
Pls someone help me. I am really being frustrated with my new Awesome looking android phone.
Thanks in Advance.
1. Try another SD
2. If it doesn't help, try flashing last offical firmware. I can provide u with a 4PDA link for the freshest October release.

Thanks for your quick reply.
I tried another SD already and nothing happens when I select "apply update from sdcard". It shows the firrst triangle page again. I tried the same without any SD Card also, nothing. Even, if I select "reboot system" it again shows me the triangle page but phone not rebooting.
I can't flash any fireware because ODIN & KIES both can't detect my phone anyhow. If my current recovery would work, then there would no problem I think...
Please help me..

First of all, wrong device section mate! This is Galaxy Ace S5830i section. Also never ever touch any system files unless you know what you are doing. This is because all your important OS files are present there. Any slight mistake and you will find yourself in a bootloop or in the worse case you can even hard-brick your phone. Now if you can go to Download Mode, then you can flash back the stock rom through odin. Follow the instructions from the below link,

All stock firmwares for Galaxy Y
Next time make sure to post the question in the correct section. Hope I Helped
Hello everybody,
Today I flashed the 'GlamourS5 for S3' from the android development forum here on XDA.
When it rebooted after the flash was succesful, the samsung logo appeared (as usual) but after that the screen just went black.
It's been like that the whole time now and thus I have researched a little and appreantly it could be because the kernel is missing.
Now here comes the tricky part.
Last month I removed my power button from the motherboard because my phone (Galaxy S3 - I9300) kept restarting and I was not able to use it anymore.
Since then I have locked my screen using gestures and went into recovery by using 3rd party apps.
Is there perhaps a solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance

You can try and use adb to boot into recovery or download mode from your pc

Hello thanks for your reply!
I have no (succesful) experience with using adb so I google'd it and found this: [I can't post a link here yet appearantly, it should be the first link when you google 'galaxy s3 adb recovery' from theandroidsouldotcom]
Sadly enough it didn't work, it said 'error: device not found' in the command prompt.
When I connect my phone (while it's supposedly turned on), my PC makes the 'USB-device connected' sound but I cant see it under my computer.

Question one: do you know anyone else who has that phone?
Question two: have you tried running Odin with it and posting any info you get from there?
Question three: which carrier is this? I don't recognize the model number
Hopefully we can get the thing kicking again :fingers-crossed:

Try another cable and make sure you use a port on the motherboard. If using a laptop use the port that is single, whatever side it may be on..
When connecting the phone make sure you have kies installed but NOT running. You can stop all the kies processes in task manager.
Make sure the phone is in download mode BEFORE connecting it to a pc. This ensures the correct drivers are used to communicate with the phone in that specific mode.
Get the md5 hash of the file you're trying to flash and google it to make sure it matches known files.
If you're absolutely sure your cable and port are good, you've tried an official cwm and a known working stock rom but you still get "e:/failed to mount" errors or failing at "nand write start" in odin then you can attempt a .pit file but it is VERY dangerous for the device and can brick it.
Failing that you have a dead device.
