[Q] Another way to unbrick my s5830i? - Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please help me.
I have Jellyblast installed on my ace-i. Then I found another custom rom for ace-i called "Ace-I-Sure". I downloaded it. Before flashing the rom, I did a nandroid backup. After the backup, I flashed the ace-i-sure, then rebooted. Unfortunately, I was stuck on the boot screen (softbricked). So I booted to recovery mode and did a nandroid restore. Everything was back to normal and my phone was working again.
A few days later, I tried to flash the ace-i-sure again (yeah im stupid). I did a nandroid backup, then flashed. But, same result. It was softbricked again. Then i thought that this was no big deal, i will just do a nandroid restore. BUT, now I can't access the recovery mode! I can access download mode though, and I know that i can flash stock firmware using Odin. BUT, my USB/Charger "mouth" (you already know what i mean, the place where you insert the usb connector/charger, at the top of the device) is not working! It can't detect my charger and USB connector. I charge through a universal charger, where I just remove the battery and insert it into said charger. (Before any of this softbricking happened, my uncle went to a repair shop to repair the USB/Charger "mouth" but the people their said that the only solution was a universal charger.) Anyway, using odin or any other unbrick programs means I need to connect my phone to a PC, which is unfortunately, impossible right now.
I need your help. Do you know any other way of unbricking my device? What should I do?

See if you get working with recovery then try these
1.search over xda for MultiFormator tool
2.Boot into recovery flash cwm then flash these tool
3.Now Aroma will startup then choose RFS
4.Now flash your backup it will boot up .
But if not then you need to give it in Samsung's service center they will repair it .
Without download mode you can't get to flash Stock Rom via Odin .

May try this,

OP can't install stock rom using odin since he cannot connect the device to PC as his USB Charger mouth pin is not working.

i was thinking the same thing. u cant flash to stock using kies on a custom rom, but u can flash back to stock via odin.
for odin to recognize your phone, please get your phone into download mode where by your screen will only show the word "downloading" in yellow...
Go to download mode (hold down Vol down+power+home) then connect to pc. If that won't work, put off your sim, sd, battery. Connect to pc. Now hold down vol down + power + home for a while. Now put in your battery and again hold down vol down + power + home. That worked for me when i broke my rom It don't have to work for you. You can try this only at your own risk.

if you has RESTORE the Backup in CWM, before reboot, perform full wipe/data. if still bootloop, Shutdown and perform full wipe/data again. I had experience too. Sorry for my English.
If your device not detect on your PC, reinstall SAMSUNG DRIVER and REBOOT.

Which firmware did you try? Try to flash a stock firmware. Go here and pick up the latest ROM and follow the instructions it is very well explained

i flashed a stock firmware.i tried this and i had no result.if you can answer this i told about cwm and adb i would be very happy
try another cable.
I had similar problem because of a poor cable ordered from e-bay.
even if you are using the stock cable, try another one as it might be damaged.
gokhan thanks for your help but it didn't work.if i format the /system partition will i be able to get into download mode?
I don't see how you could get Odin to recognise your phone in order to format the system partition if you weren't able to get into download mode.
So I guess I'll play Captain Obvious...Can you get into download mode ?
If not, does Odin recognise the phone when you hook the phone up to a PC via a USB cable ? (a long shot I know but I'm trying to think of anything that might work here).

You really need to start giving more information.
Excactly what rom did you tried to flash? And yes, you can just flash CF-Root and start flashing from recovery. If it is possible to push the files true adb, I don't know. But you will have adb for sure in recovery.
And why are you flashing? It looks like you have really no idea what you are doing.
the problem is solved.i flashed a cwm 9 rom via odin and now im ok.now im flashing chechrom.i had checkrom and i undervolted too much.the phone closed but accidenatly i had ticked the set on bot button.my external sd is broken and i didnt have a checkrom backp into my internal sdcard.so i decided to flash an official firmware and then flash again checkrom.this is the story but now my problem is solved so you can lock the thread.thank you all

Brain is about to explode

I am trying to install a stock or custom recovery mode for the time being. I have lost the recovery mode trying to install a custom ROM. Now no matter what I do, I just can't install a recovery mode.
CWM - odin's progress bar is stuck on 0%
TWRP - odin crashes after you click start on the program
Installing from SD Card - soft bricks the phone since it will force into recovery mode.
I truly need a lot of help and would appreciate any assistance or someone to message to guide me step by step. Thanks.

Have you tried starting over from scratch? In other words reinstall factory software, root, etc.......

Just in case -- flashing with Odin may require that you are using the stock Samsung USB cable. Are you?
Everything on it is still factory stock, except it is rooted which has been working properly for some time. Worst case scenario I might have to redo this. This is my first custom rom installation basically.
It's the stock USB cable that came with the Note. And I also tried different USB ports.

What's the exact filename you are trying to flash? I remember when flashing recovery to my Note (AT&T-branded Note), I loaded cwm-touch-i717-120414.tar.md5 into the "PDA" field of Odin version 1.85 and left the check-boxes as-is.
Have you used Odin ever before to flash this phone? I'm wondering if the driver has been installed so your PC can recognize the Odin mode that the phone is in. I recall the driver I used was USB_Driver_for_ATT_I717_Galaxy_Note_v1_3_2200_0.exe

I've used Odin before to root my phone and had no problems with it. The file names are:
openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-sgh-879.img.tar.md5 (Crashed Odin)
clockworkmod_touch_recovery_5.8.4.3_i717.tar (Odin had no progress)
openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-i717.img.tar.md5 (Crashed Odin)
I can't find any of the latest version of CMW or TWRP for a CM10 installation that works.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but since you're rooted, can't you install goo manager and have it install the recovery?

Ye you could install it from there or from ROM manager either way though quick ? Is Ur USB cable a good working one? Have you tried attempting the odinizing through another pc? That's for the fella havn issues.

additionally have a look at this link:
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/
I've used it twice and it's very easy to follow. download the zip they have under "sponsored link" and use the Tar in the zip. Also verify that your phone is being seen by your computer, it should display in your device manager as well as show a COM in odin.
USB is fine, no bends, kinks, or frays. The computer recognizes the cord for charging and accessing the phone and the Yellow or Blue COM shows up properly in Odin. I tried the GooManager to install TWRP and it downloads the recovery, says it is installing it and after about 10 minutes goes back to the home screen. No successful installation notification or anything. ROMmanger just fails for me. It shows my recovery as 5.X.X.X and when trying to flash it just hangs on the Flashing popup forever until the screen turns off or a button is press or the screen is touched.
The phone is rooted fine, I just need to put the samsung recovery, twrp, or cwm on it to update it to the latest version to install CM10. Right now there is no recovery mode, just download mode for Odin.

If you tried installing all those recoveries in odin and failed, I would try starting over from scratch. When people soft brick their phones they go here and follow instructions. That link has an odin .tar prepared with the stock AT&T Kernel, System, and Recovery. Notice it says RECOVERY! After flashing that in odin you should be able to boot into recovery and take over from there.
Try that and report back!
I have an idea...do away with Odin altogether
but it's advanced and could potentially brick you.
Take a tar with the recovery you wanna use and extract that file. Take recovery.img and put it on your sd-card (put it on the internal and external sd-card just to be sure).then connect to pc.
Now Issue the following adb command. I SUGGEST YOU COPY AND PASTE IT, IF YOU TYPE IT WRONG YOU WILL HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK

[Q] Problem with Odin method stock ROM

Hi XDA,
I got a S5830i from my friend to do a system backup because the custom ROM doesn't boot. I read that I have to do it with Odin v3. But there is the problem. I installed every driver, even KIES (It doesn't run) and the Odin doesn't recognise it. Only the Odin v4 can see it. So I tried with it and made 4 file from a tar.md5 file, it ended successfully but it doeasn't boot. I always get a bootloop with 2 different stock ROM. Unfortunately I can't try it with another computer because I only have a laptop which is run W8 and if I know it right, Odin need W7.
So my question is that why don't the Odin v3 recognise this phone?

Did you try going to recovery and wiping data and cache after flashing? I always have to do that after flashing with Odin, although I use Odin v1.85 or v3.07 for flashing. If you want me to attach them, ask me.
Press Thanks button if helped.

Somehow I solved it but I don't know how. I plugged the phone and ta-dam the Odin recognised it. I didn't do anything and now it's working. Finally I managed to get beck to the stock ROM so now everything is OK.
Thanks for the answer and maybe if you know why does it worked suddenly please write it down because I' m dying of curiosity. :silly:

Help with bootlooped galaxy tab 10.1

Hello, I am searching for help with my bootlooped galaxy tab 10.1
It's stuck on the secondary logo that is a glowing
"samsung"
I have clockwork recovery installed along with correct usb drivers.
Samsung kies does not recognize device.
Odin crashes when attempting to load files.
I have a quality usb cable
Model # is gt-p7510ma ,no SD card option.
Did you recently flash a new ROM to cause it to boot loop, if not, what were you doing that caused you to reboot the device? If unsure, try using Logcat to see what is causing the problem.
If you have a backup, try wiping device and restoring from that, or if you did flash a rom right before try wiping and flashing another to see if that is the problem.
Odin crashes when attempting to load files.
Use Latest version of Odin , Reinstall your phone drivers , when you put files make sure you put in right place and let him a while to load that files don't touch anything . Once is finish with loading then put your galaxy in to the Download mode and connect on PC .
I received it in this condition. I was able to put clockwork on it through odin but not the stock rom I think. Odin crashes when trying to put the regular tar file on it. I'm not opposed to using rom either. I was told the tablet is rooted and given passwords/pin #for whatever.

Then I think is problem with your PC , and that way your Odin is crash.
Use CCleaner to repair and Clear Registry , Reboot your PC and try again if not , try on another PC .
Other phones connect to it and I was able to put clockwork recovery on it through doin. It only crashes when I try to put a stock rom on it
