Dear Respected Developers and Members,
Three days ago I bought a Grand Quattro i8552. today morning I was surfing facebook then suddenly phone had been hang and when I restarted my phone it started with recovery mode and when I tried anything (factory reset, install zip, data wipe) it is showing only one android died icon.
Your help would be highly appreciated.

if you not do anyhing yet like flashing or rooting i think its a factory defect. but if you has done everything like rooting and cwm then flash new firmware by odin.

I think I should go to service center.
PS: by the way I used it for three days without any problem.

When it is only 3 days new handset and u did not do any unofficial or warranty voiding works then it is always recommended to go to service centre for any such bricking issue...

Is there anyway to revert to stock ROM. After trying CMW, custom roms, stock builds, tried it all however whenever I try to boot to system, it stays at the SAMSUNG logo screen. Won't move past that. Any ideas?

Well, I am posting this behalf of my friend....
He had ClockWorkMod Recovery installed and Rooted his Ace on a stock firmware...
Just a few mins back he installed the ROM Toolbox app from the market.
After installing and running the app, the app told him to restart his phone and after that the phone is stuck on the "S5830" logo....
He is able to get into Recovery Mode, and also tried wiping everything but hes still stuck on that logo
Please help.
Kind of urgent...

Yeah, I had that in my mind too but my friend is unable to flash right now, so any other alternatives?
no backup?
if CWM is working properly try to flash again the ROM zip and do the full wipe...
as u said he tried to wipe but still stuck, odin is the only solution now.

Well if Odin is the only chance now I guess thats how I am gonna need to do it....
Is there anyone else here that has used ROM Toolbox and bricked their Ace?
Cause I used it on Samsung Galaxy 3 and it did not cause any problems....
No, I'm aware of every single app that has "ROM" in its name. If you know what I mean.

If he used ROM Manager to install CWM, then it can't be repaired :/
I mean, ROM Manager is very dangerous for Ace. Many people have bricked their phone by using it. It may be compatible with Galaxy 3 but on Ace, it's DANGEROUS

I am talking about "ROM ToolBox".....
Not ROM Manager....
Everyone know that ROM Manager can brick the phone....
If you still hav recovery then chill.. Just do a standard cwm flash..
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA
use odin! don't make your Ace cry
ROM Toolbox still partially has ROM Manager.....
I use it for convenience to build.prop editing though

Install Lewa ROM . Atleast you are able to get into CWM recovery

Look at the link in my signature. It was featured on xda portal. It will root any ics rom if you have a cwm image

I am not sure the cwm will work. You can try it. Both phones are very similar and recovery is overwritten on reboot, so no permanent change to phone. Let me know on corresponding thread if it works

The temporary CWM recovery should be fine.
Don't try to use any kernels with CWM recovery built in that are meant for the I9100 on an I9100G though. It won't work, and you'll likely have a boot loop, or get stuck on the boot screen.

Except there is no limit it's just a number and you don't trip or flashing in recovery. It only gets tripped by flashing non official Samsung firmware in Odin so I doubt his is higher then 1

Hi guys, i'm trying to restore my S3 to stock so I can sell it, however after trying to use Odin around 5 times to install stock frimware, I either end up in a boot loop or constant boot-up. I've tried 3 different versions of Odin and still no luck. It passes every time.
Any idea's anyone? I did notice I only ever have one file to put into Odin, which is a PDA compatible file, none of the others. I'm not sure if this is just due to bad downloads or what.
Any ideas anyone?

I got the S3 with Revoulution HD S5 (smartdroid) ROM with boeffla kernel.
Lately ive been getting random freezes just in the middle of doing nothing with my phone, it just freezes and then goes to reboot, while its trying to reboot it bootloops. With that i mean its trying to reboot then screen goes black and then it tries to reboot again.. Then i have to pull the battery out and insert it again and it works (for some time.)
So my question is how can i fix this and what is the problem? Ive read some posts saying that it could be the firmware? Well i have read alot of other posts but never really find any good soulution so please HELP!

Flash the latest official stock rom with odin, factory reset then test before you install or restore anything.

Yeah, found it. Going completely stock now, without root also. Just going to try out the stock a while and see if it works. Then preferbly root and flash a custom rom again! Thanks.

i unrooted/went back to stock, then i rooted and flashed a new rom. Everything without a problem. I have only got 1 random reboot so far.. more suggestions??
If it still freezes and reboots on stock then you have bad memory blocks in your nand memory.

Change your Kernel. I am using Revolution S5 without any issue. Better install LiteGX kernel. Do not play with Kernel if your knowledge is less. LiteGX is just a plug & play Kernel.
I got the same issue.
I´m on it. I will try latest official. You should check if your emmc chip is possible broken. Just load the app emmc check and google about "SDS S3"
I´ll post a solution if i can get it solved.
