This is my first post & thread in XDA, I'm a active user in another forum. I have an OV, which is rooted, has multiple mods, and running on a IHO ROM... So I'm not a complete noob xD
Getting to the point... I currently have a Galaxy Ace that I'm allowed to tinker with (It's a friends) and Ive already rooted it with SuperONeClick.
Now I've tried to flash CWM and I've failed miserably xD
Theres a sticky in the Galaxy Ace Development section, and I've tried a method there for flashing CWM multiple times and I cant get it to work. I've also tried flashing it via the Terminal Emulator like I did with Xionia and my OV, but that didn't work. The last thing i tried was using the stock Samsung Recovery to flash the zip but it wouldnt work, so I renamed the CWM zip to update.zip and I flashed it and it said it flashed CWM and it was successful. When I tried rebooting into Recovery it just hanged on the first Samsung logo. I battery pulled and tried the button combo to boot into Recovery mode and it just hung like before. So I tried to boot into download mode and it would say Emergency Download mode instead of the normal one. So I figured the phone was semi-bricked, but then i just did a normal reboot and it booted up into the stock ROM fine! I dont get it... it wont boot into Recovery but it will boot into the stock ROM.
Before any of you burn me, I'm sorry, I'm new to tinkering with Samsung.
Other points to mention: When Samsung Kies is opened, it just says connecting with that sync icon and just hangs there. It never connects to the phone.
I was trying to use ODIN, and i selected all the files i was going to flash and i plugged the phone in, and ODIN never budged... It didnt recognize the phone, never did anything. I WAS in debug mode...
The Kies things and ODIN stuff i mentioned was tried before and after the rooting...
SO if anyone has any idea, any suggestions on whats going on, and on how i can flash a recovery from where i am now, will be greatly appreciated.
The phone has 2.2.1, Froyo as stock.
you cant flash cwm on a 2.2 phone only 2.3 try the download mode vol down home power

Oh! That's great to know! Well then what can i do? What are my options?
And yeah, Vol Down, Home, Power starts Download mode. I already know that.
I reset the phone to see if itll boot into recovery mode, but no luck & Now, it wont boot into the stock ROM anymore /: it hangs at the Samsung logo.
It boots into Download mode fine...

directly flashing may not workkk stop... i saw somoeone who got fu*ked up with doing so...
try to get it from kies as it will have GB bootloader...
if you flash something that dont have then you may end up with ACE as paper weight
after you get something from kies to 2.3.x then you are free to flash any roms on it for ace

Oh god, what should i do? Im still downloading 2.3.5 from Sammobile. If i flash that with Odin you're saying i might make the phone a paper weight?!?! That sucks. I really need this phone to work like NOW. Im leaving my friends house in the morning, so by then, the phone needs to be working.
I was having problems with Odin. It wouldnt recognize the phone. But i think it just finally recognized it.
And after all this crap, i turned the phone on, and it booted up fine. I restarted it and it hasn't boot up since... anyone have an idea why?
Im scared i might eff up this phone.
And im kinda happy Emoboii is commenting... i saw that he's on many threads for this phone...

yeah he is in downloading mod and i just want to confirm that so dont laugh u ......
So, I downloaded the firmware and flashed it with Odin and it worked like a charm! Phone's working great.
Thank you all for your help and suggestions.!!!!
Sooo yeah, phone works great. Faster than before. I can reboot it works how it should. I can also boot into Download Mode.
BUT... i cant boot into Recovery. I try the button combos and the Samsung logo shows, it turns black shows the same logo again and then boots up as normal. It won't boot into recovery for anything.... Pretty weird.

G. Flash Custom Recovery:
1) Push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace.img to your device using "adb push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img /tmp/" command
2) Turn off your phone
3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON
4) Login to your device over "adb shell"
5) Mount /system using "mount /dev/block/stl12 /system" command
6) Flash CWM recovery using "flash_image recoveryonly /tmp/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img" command
7) Umount /system using "umount /system" command
8) Reboot your device using "reboot recovery" command to test your new CWM recovery
9) Reboot your device
I tried that before all of this, and i couldn't get Adb to work.

So, I downloaded the necessary files too go from CM9 to CM10 via recovery in my nook tablet and I did a factory reset. From there, I flashed the cm10-acclaim-0.05.1-full-of-bugs.zip. After flash I fixed permissions, wiped Dalvik, took out my sd card and hit reboot. It boots into the universal bootloader, but that's about it...please help! I can't find a solution! Please and thank you so much!

I honestly couldn't tell you. I just know that when I boot into recovery, the n screen flashes, than a BIG n flashes then goes to the recovery screen. It's so confusing! Lol

I'm pretty sure it is 5.0.2.8 if I'm not mistaken. I tried to remember it but I'm away from it right now.
I was having reboot issues with that ROM. I ended up putting the original acclaim_update.zip file on a blank SD card, factory resetting it, then rerooting.

That's your.problem then. Flashing any rom with a 3.0+ kernel using that cwm will result in a bootloop. so eight now you need to flash a newer cwm and then try flashing cm10 again.
look in the dev section for a newer recovery.

I have a ATT sgh-1717 samsung note with Android 4.0 on it. I tried to root it this morning using Odin3 and pda.tar. It passed but I am unable to put on the next file Superuser 3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip. It just goes to a black screen with samsung logo. If I hold down the volume up and down at the same time as the power button I am able to go into Clockwork mode. I can not reboot my phone. What can I do at this point? Is there a way to copy the zip file to the sd card on my phone? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated! I have been reading all day and am quite frustrated at this point. Of course my schedule is on my phone....Thank you so much.

Put it on Download mode and go back to stock and try again. and Superuser can be install from the PlayStore
Take the sd card out and put it in a pc and copy the file to the sd card.

You. are right! I don't understand. I followed a guide and got stuck, now I am trying to get some help. I just wan to get my phone up and running. Please point me in the right direction.
I found the easiest way for me was to download custom Rom to sd.move it to external.odin cwm then flash twrp.reboot to recovery n wipe all caches.system.internal.not external.then install ur custom Rom.reboot system n let Rom settle.most roms already have the rooted files.if ur planning to stay stock.there's plenty of present roms for that.n make sure all the devs get their thx :thumbup:

Went back to stock and all is well...Thanks for the help!
Thought I had the problem solved but I'm still stuck on bootloop. I've tried several methods but no success. I was running Jellybomb version 2 with freeza's beastmode kernal and on mj4. I tried to do a restore with twrp and I guess the backup was bad and now I am stuck on bootloop. I have successful backups on my computer that do work, but how do I get it to my phone? I've tried a SD card but my phone wont read it, and since my phone just bootloops, I cant transfer the file through usb. Is there another way I can transfer the file to my internal memory? I've tried to odin back to stock mj4 but it still just bootloops and tried all other ways that I've found and no success..Someone please help, I'm out of ideas.
Try putting the file on the SD card then try to get into recovery by holding the volume down button and power at the same time... It might be the power up button, I don't have the phone yet so I don't remember exactly which button.

So I just tried that too..I literally tried TONS of different ways and no success. I've managed to recover a successful backup that I have done before..even that did not work..the furthest it gets is the lockscreen and then a message pops up and says program is not responding and then it goes into bootloop again. I'm all out of ideas guys. Here is what I've tried that did not work.
1. Restore nandroid to a successful backup.
2. Odin back to stock mj4
3. Odin to stock mi5, yes i got desperate
4. Re-downloading all files in case I had a bad download
I may have done other options, but I cant remember..been working on my phone for 12+ hours now.
Anyone else with a solution for me before I maybe take my phone back to sprint tomorrow?
