The reason your phone bricked was because you tried to install a custom rom from Stock Recovery Mode. Always make sure to install custom rom from CWM. Since you can go to Recovery Mode, install CWM from it and then install a custom rom from CWM. You will find all the necessary details here,
Know your Device:Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i ~Root~Odin~CWM~ROM LIST
If that doesn't work, then just reflash the stock rom back from Download Mode through odin. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

Hi All,
i think i just softbricked my S3. i was running Omega rom 33.2 and found the phone was unstable. Hence i wiped data, factory reset, clear dalvik cache and etc. after flashing the rom, it got stucked at samsung boot screen.
i even tried to reflash the rom but still failed to boot up. after that i decided to flash stock rom using Odin (I9300ZSDLK2). it managed to boot in but then it got stucked at recovery (failed to mount /system (Invalid argument). i thought it could be something wrong with the /system, i then flash CWM to format /system. obvious i wont be asking for help if that step succeeded. i basically got pawned because i am not able to mount /system. anybody can help me?
I have a Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 running CM 10.1 which was installed about a month back. Yesterday my phone suddenly crashed and after rebooting it got stuck in the boot animation (cyanogenmod logo). I tried wiping the cache and data but when the CM recovery (v4.0.0.5) starts formatting /data it gets stuck. It displays formatting /data... and its their for forever.
P.S I was experiencing frequent reboots and hangs after I flashed the new badass kernel!
What i tried to did:
1. Updated CWM to latest available version but the problem exists.
2. Tried to restore my backup of cm 10.1 rom but it stucks at 'Restoring Data'.
3. Installed stock rom via odin. When Odin says Close serial port and wait until rebooting, the phone automatically boots into stock recovery
and it says:
" Installing update...
-- Applying Muti-CSC --
Multi_CSC : there are common apks
Multi_CSC : comm_so
Can't access to '/system/csc/ATL/system'.
Formatting /cache...
-- Applying Muti-CSC --
Multi_CSC : there are common apks
Multi_CSC : comm_so
Can't access to '/system/csc/ATL/system'. "
Odin says PASS but the phone is still stuck at stock recovery.
4. Wiped cache succesfully via stock recovery but it stucks at wiping data/reset (formatting /data...)
5. I then installed back CWM via odin. CWM displays the following message:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Any help is surely appreciated.
Thanks.

the problem shoudl be with cm partitioning system, in my galaxy y i've installed cm7.2, it changes the format of the device partition, i guess it was "rfs" and it turned into "ext4", if this happened to your device it can be the problem
i will say some things but try one at once
if the problem was with me i would
try checking Re-partition at odin (be carefull, if you remove the usb or shut down your phone this can be the end)
try using "phone bootloader update" at odin (dangereous too)
try to use "phone efs clear" at odin (i dont know if this is dangereous)
try flashing stock kernel via cwm or odin (this one is)
if no one works re-flash cyanogenmod (but if the problems are partitions it wont work)

did it worked?
the curiosity is killing me.
I flashed QS-I9300-KK first.
Then i flashed Blekota-S5-Lite without full wipe because i just want to try it.
After moment, i decide to install a clean Blekota-S5-Lite.
So i enter CWM and install Blekota-S5-Lite using 'Install with full wipe'
But it stucks on 'All your apps and data will be lost!' and reboot...
After then, i enter CWM and try to format /data, it always stucks on 'Formatting /data...' and reboot :crying:
Plz help me... :crying:
----
i solved it by flashing official firmware.
Good afternoon, guys.
I'm writing here because I'm completely desperate. Yesterday I tried to update a Galaxy Ace GT-S5830M using a custom ROM. Sadly, I forgot to install the CWM first, and of course, the installation was aborted in the process. After that, each time I entered to the STOCK recovery, it said "E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument)".
I tried to install the CWM, apparently in a successful way but it didn't stay there, I mean, when I reboot the phone I end in the STOCK recovery. The thing is, after "installing" the CWM, I tried to wipe it all, but I got some issues:
1) When doing the dalvik cache wipe I got this: E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
2) Trying format/system I got "Error while mounting /system!" "Skipping format" or something like that.
If I try to reset factory from the STOCK recovery I get "E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl11"
I also tried to install a STOCK ROM through ODIN (I used 1.85, 1.87 a 3.07 without any luck) but sometimes I get stuck in "SetupConnection", in other cases the process ends failing while writing the BcmBoot.img (Complete(Write) operation failed), and the likes.
And adb doesn't recognize the cell phone at all.
Do you have any idea or suggestion? I tried it all but I just can't make the cell phone go ahead. By the way, KIES don't recognize the cell phone, don't know if that can change it all.
PS: I can "install" a ROM while playing around in the CWM. It apparently installs correctly but then, after rebooting, I get stuck in the "SAMSUNG GALAXY Ace ..." screen.
Please, help.

Why don't you use a different odin version may be much older one or newer one and by the way did u download the right firmware from the right source? Verify whatever I mentioned and give it a try with older odin,or simply follow some YouTube video! Thank me if I had helped you!
Ok i repaired this errors in recovery i install right kernel agaim from this pack (link above) next i install twrp and wipe data cache and other stuff, and when i flashed resurection remix with gapps(and without) my phone get bootloop. I tried cachce data dalvik wipe- doesnt work i tried to flash again this room still bootloop.
How can i repair this? Should i flash by odin stock rom?

Try going back to ext4 format instead of f2fs.
If that doesn't work, try flashing stock via Odin then start over with the guide, I believe there is an updated way to upgrade that has the rePIT built in, try finding it and use that guide.
