[Q] SkarbnikROM - problem after installing

I have followed installation instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238126 to the letter and after rebooting all I get is the S - the device does not come alive.

Is this Panic Time, or is there some stupid thing I don't know about?
Thanks,
david
Edited: problem solved, thanks!
Factory reset and re read the instructions .

[SOLVED] Boot Loop [Cant acess Recovery mode] Galaxy Ace s5830

Problem was solved by taking it to samsung service!
They changed a main piece. The motherboard!
DO NOT USE GALAXY_UNLOCKER.APK if you dont want your phone tottaly bricked!
There are other ways to unlock it!

Hello,
I dont know IF posting in the right place, but I searched the whole forum for a proper answer how to "unbrick" my boot loop-ed Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830..
Now I've tried installing several firmwares using Odin multi downloader v4.83 but none of them helped me, after all I cant access Recovery Mode!
I can acess Download mode, Emergency Dmod (arm9) and RAMDUMP (arm9)
I have: Android 2.3.3 GingerBread on T-Mobile Carrier (Hungary)!
How did I get here: rooted with SuperOneClick 2.3.2 and used an app for unlock (Galaxy Ace Unlock.apk) witch was probably the main source of the problem... Had no problems until I decided to reboot, rebooted successfully, the problem I had then was No carrier, then tried a second reboot and ever since then I'm stuck into a boot loop with no access whatsoever to RECOVERY MODE.
After installing firmware and waiting the 5 minutes in Odin, my device reboots intro a boot loop after about 2:32 min and nothing can be done furthermore...
I've serched the forum and found that data.rfs is missing in the firmwares... maybe that the source of the problem to... I dont know...
Please help me fix this problem!! Thank you!
p.s: noob alert

You'll just have to keep flashing roms via Download Mode until one works (try flashing the stock rom).
P.S.: Your device has it's own forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1164.

It seems like your motherboard is damaged so you'll have to take it in under warranty.

Thank you for your help until now & Happy New Year! I'd still like to solve this problem somehow before I take it under warranty! Witch I was planning to do tomorrow!
I dont understand how can my motherboard be damaged? If it would be damaged then probably I't would not even start in the 1st place.
I forgot to mention that I had a Movetosd app installed also, but I dont remember the full name of the app...
Any other Ideas?

You have done everything you could and it's still not fixed (even the things other people did when they had the same problem - it worked for them, but not for you), so warranty is the only other way to get it fixed (or at least replaced).

Thank you for the help Theonew! Appreciate! I've taken it into warranty service, hopefully they wont find my device inappropriate for free service, and so I dont have to pay for it...
The only problem is that I have to wait at least 8 days untill I get it back..
Anyway, I've researched this Galaxy Unlock apk. and it seems thats the main source of the problem.
Thanks again!

oh ok.wel there is this one dude on youtube who has it..i asked him he said he dose not know how to get it to me
Sounds like you have just wiped cache and dalvik cache.Which means you have no ROM in your tablet.Or to be more precise you have no OS in your tablet.Try finding Custom/Stock ROM on internet and flash it,it should boot in the OS like a glove.
Hope you will solve the problem
wait do you guys think i could some how extract my rom right now and just edit the chainfire 3d out of the rom? or edit the messed up rom in my tablet or somthing
YA!
ah i see but no worries guys i just got in contact with tuvva and they said they will review my request and get back to me soon..so there is still HOPE!!! but just i case...i did find a rom..i tryed flashing it and it said it failed it seem like it was working then i t said failed

you tried doing a full wipe and data factory reset, should completely fix the issue. Also, you made no backups?

Have stock, looking for custom!
Hello blenderbros1,
If you are still looking for a stock rom, I can send one you one with a pm.
If you have already found any custom rom or recovery that is compatible with this device, I would be grateful if you can share me the link, because I haven't find any compatible yet (tried allot).

It's stuck in a boot loop. You need to wipe that ROM and reinstall with another. Don't forget to install TWRP 2.6.1+.
I recommend the CM11 nightlies. Video streaming finally works!

Read the guides. You shouldn't do something without reading up on the basics of flashing.

[Q] Phone won't turn on

Hey,
I have a Galaxy Note I717M under bell, running complete stock, and recently, it just decided it doesn't want to turn on anymore.
I can still access download mode and recovery mode, but when I try to boot into system I get stuck at the samsung logo.
Is my phone soft bricked? Am I able to flash a new rom and move on? If so, am I able to recover all my data that's currently on the phone?
Thanks in advance!

In recovery mode do a factory reset first see if this solves the problem.
yes you can still flash ROMs.
if not flash stock ROM or custom ROM.
press thanks if I helped you.

Looks good, but judging by the end of that post, the phone needs to be working because it'll ask me for a password on the device at some point?

I guess its for encryption of the data, try once and see it may work
As you are stock on everything
its the only way out.
try to do these steps in fastboot mode it won't be any problem most probably.
