Well you mest up with rom manager without any knowledge about it. AFAIK Your phone is now fully brick. You need to replace your motherboard(GOOD LUCK WITH WARRANTY )

If Flashing and Unbrick not working, what ever you do or how you try, then you probably messed up your boot ROM and it´s BRICKED. SORRY FOR YOU, but always, I MEAN ALWAYS read and search the forum 10 TIMES, before you start up messing your phone. It can very yeasely BRICKED.
I hope you can change it from service for free. Say that you trying restore to FACTORY setting(just make up some story[believable], why you was need to restore to FACTORY settings). Maybe they belive you and change your BRICKED phone to new one. Thumbs up for you and dont do anything stupid next time!!!
P1tt187, just out of curiosity - how did you even do that?
When I tried to use ROM Manager it told me to install the correct drivers, but Galaxy Ace isn't supported, so I just resigned. Which drivers did you use?
P1tt187 My friend had the same thing, he used a ROM Manager to back up the ROM in the ACE. Identical symptoms. Only the Samsung service will help. Tell him that you turned off phone and not turn on (Phone) . Samsung Service exchanged him motherboard in ACE (on guarantee).
Galaxy Ace not supported yet by ROM manager! Sorry for you but search the forum(or just GOOGLE it) before trying something first. There is always GOOGLE to helping(if you not found it here). Just USE it!
I have rooted and customized all my phones(HTC, SAMSUNG), JAILBREAKED AND UNLOCKED all my IPhones(3G and 4G), just waste some time, for GOOGLE! But you must be patient. Everything is not coming in first search(but everything is there, TAKE THE TIME and be sure for right thing).
CHEERS!
Hey,
I just have the same problem, but I didn't touch to the ROM or anything else
I just rooted my phone with SuperOneClick, turn it off and it never turn on again...
Since my phone is rooted, I don't know if the warranty is lost, but I think so...
I already tried to remove the battery and then put it back while holding ok + volume down + power, but it didn't work, the screen stays completely black...
I'll let my phone rest a few days and then send it to Orange while I pray --'
Any other idea guys ?
( sorry for my bad english...)

I've let it run for 1 hour, but nothing changes
On the thread you gave me someone say that there is no solution for that...
What I don't understand is that I neither Flashed or tried to change the Rom of my phone, I only rooted it with SOC...
Anyway thanks for the help, I'll send it to Orange in a few days...

Of course I dont know what you exactly done or not but if its stuck in black screen and cant flash with ODIN, then I think its TOTALLY bricked. Sorry for you, hope you get it changed to new one! THUMBS UP FOR YOU!
hello everybody i'm sorry to waste your times but i have a problem with my galaxy s2
I rooted the phone then installed rom for it but it stopped working in any mode (dead phone) i can't even go to downloading mode or recovery mode it just stopped
your advise will help a lot so please
Sounds like your device is bricked. How did this happen? Was the rom for your device? Was the flashing successful?
i don't know but what can i do to make it boot or work
because in this case i can't work on it or is there any way to work on it even if it is off please give me any advise i can do it so that maybe one of it will work

Answer my questions from my previous post so that I can help you.
firstly i started with rooting and it goes well
secondly i started in the rom (it was the biggest mistake in my life) i have done it by downloading the room in my phone then install it via recovery mode
after this the phone stopped in the "yellow triangle" and didn't work..
after that i tried to install the root again and it didn't work so i done the second mistake by shutting down the phone by using power button and after that my phone dead...
so sad man...
Since you can't go into recovery mode (or any other), there is nothing more you can do. If your device is under warranty, then you know what they say.. "Drown your device" Make sure it's completely dead. If they ask, then just say it fell in a river, lake, toilet or something. If you do this, you can carry it back for your warranty (and get a new device ). Just make sure you do not tell them that you rooted your device (or even tried).
Hi all,
I have looked for a similar post, I found out that many people experienced something like that trying unlocking their phones, but I haven't found out any solution.
Here is my situation:
I have tried to unlock my s5830 (orange spain carrier), I have used a method which it seems to be dangerous for the phone, but of course I have found out it was dangerous after I have already tried it
Anyway after I discovered the unlock number contained in the perso.txt file in the efs folder, my phone restarted without service once and after that it went in a bootloop mode, it goes on a download mode, but there is no way to get back recovery mode or a normal boot.
I flashed the s5830 several times with many firmware, but no one worked, and the phone is still stuck in an infinite loop, in which I am not even able to see the samsung logo coming out at the very beginning.
I know many phones got bricked in this way, I wanted to know if anybody has been able to recover the phone or if anybody know any possible solution.
And if not, do you know if the warranty is covering this problem? I just got the phone a couple months ago; i have unlocked other devices before, but this is the first time I have experienced a problem so I am quite new about warranty as well. Please HELP ME
Merry Christmas guys!!!
Thanks in advance

with the cellphone off, put out ur baterry for a minute, then maintain ur finger into the volume down button and the power button tell a friend or if u can alone insert the batery while quickly pressing volume down and power button to get into download mode, and flash.
Hehehe,bootloop is horrible,you just have to get in download mode & flash with 2.3.4 firmware with Odin,just that steps and you save your SGA.
I got bootloop many times and Odin saved me.

If you can go to recovery mode than you can just wipe the data and cache. This saved me many times. Otherwise on what ever OS you may be , just create new user name after removing samsung android drivers. Login from new user name and than re install drivers again and now flash your phone from firmware which was installed on your phone before you bricked it. This helped me a few times.

It seems that you've already received a lot of help for unbricking your device. So I'll try to help out in unlocking your phone after you finished unbricking it.
This is the method I personally used on my locked Ace:

I have tried the XXKP9 again, it is not working, as usual Odin ends to load the firmware and then it goes back in the endless loop mode....there is no chance to get it back?

thank you very much I will follow your advice...IF I will be able to get my phone back which seems impossible =(
@dr_vishal
Thank you first of all, I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the android device driver, but it doesn't seems to be the problem, Odin ends with a "PASS" at the end, I guess there still is comunication in the between the two devices...
Hopefully it will be a Merry Christmas =)
It's not impossible. I'm relatively new here but I have noticed quite a few "bricked" threads already. Most of them (if not all) have been able to fix their device. I haven't seen a single person permanently brick their device, so I would guess that your chances of fixing it are really high. Just be patient and keep describing your situation and more experienced help will certainly arrive. I'd really like to help out but I have no idea how to fix it as I have not experienced bricking my phone yet.
Anyway, if the method for unlocking I suggested works for you kindly press the Thanks Button. Merry Christmas!

Guys,
I am out of ideas, I have tried each single firmware I have seen around internet, no one is working, any tip or advice or suggestion?
I messed up with the efs, and I guess that's all, the phone is gone....now it needs a JTAG or whatever is its name....
maybe to get the warranty still valid I should broke totally the phone over charging it....??

Did you try that?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310
just a thought
a lot of people have talked about reflashing it and all but have you managed to get into the recovery mode at all once you have reinstalled the rom with odin? if you can get to that you just need to hit factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik and normaly after that it will work fine... so far ive been stuck in soft brink 3 times and each time doing the wipes from the recovery mode has worked...

I've tried to use the oneclick, but it seems it doesn't recognize the phone, since, i guess, it's made for a galaxy s.
The others are not my case, since I am able to get download mode, and all these are made to can get it back.
Anyway I found out a post in which the people were talking about the s5500, which apparentely is similiar to my device, and the owners of that model experienced a similar problem doing the same process....anyway in that post the people needed to use a Jtag, which is the only way to get it back....so I though it could be the same solution for my problem...but I don't know anybody with Jtag, so the only way is contacting the service center.
thanks anyway, when I will be back at home after Christmas I will try to find the ticket and I will probably try to get it back in warranty, since is preatty new...
@torchwolfery
I am not able to reach recovery mode, there is no way to get it back, even flashing the phone with different firmwares, all I got is download mode, and apparently that is completely pointless...since the only change in the phone behavior is that if i install a certain firmwares it doesn't even have the back-light working when it is stuck in bootloop.
Warranty is your only hope (as it was mine once and it worked).
I didn't think it was possible to brick these phones. There I have tried so much to try and brick it but I have not been able to as it still always goes into 'download' mode. The only advice I can give you is double check that you are using the correct version of Odin which is v4.38 and that you use cooper v1.0 as your OPS. If dont mind me asking, but exactly what did you do or do you remember the steps you took to brick it? What buttons are you using for 'recovery' mode.
Also please clarify if Odin is going in a loop or does the phone come on and then keeps rebooting? If it is the phone that keeps rebooting, then wiping cache and data partition should do the trick. This can be done by going into recovery mode (which I am aware you cannot get into) or if you can manage to get into the dialler quick enough before the reboot, by dialling *7267*3855# and that should format the relevant partitions (data and cahce) and bring it back to factory settings. Without further info, I cannot really tell exactly what the situation is.
The fact that you are getting 'download' mode, I dont think that it is bricked because it will still allow you to write the relevant directory/files to the relevant blocks. Either way, would be interested to know.
I recently brought a Galaxy s advance, i installed too many apps in it. it was working fine. But few days ago some problems Started, like whenever a phone call came and i received it, it started to Hang in between and the call got STUCK. While i am playing games or doing any work it also got HUNG even while opening YOUTUBE App. The biggest thing I never ROOTED my device and these problem started. I had setup AUTOMATIC UPDATE means by going to settings > About phone > sotware update > Automatic update. Then my phone showed a software update notice that a update i available. I first had Android 2.3.6 then i updated my phone. while updating it first rebooted and went into recovery mood and started updating. but as the update finished it got shutdown and never started again. I tried every thing i could ,tried to start it in recovery mode and other things i also tried but to no avail.
Please help me its my new phone and i am new to android. Thanks

Huh? 13k?
The phone itself costs around 16k.
They should do it under warranty (unless the warranty period is over).
Since it's not just a person with this problem, it seems to be a mistake from Samsung.
Tell them to stfu and fix it.

Samsung S Advance Bricked
I am using Samsung Galaxy S Advance (GT-I9070) for 10 months. Its Android version was Ginger Bread. Yesterday I checked my phone's Settings for Update. Then i got New version and I Download it. While installing that, My phone had 79% Battery. But Unfortunately it automatically Dead. Now Nothing is coming....!!! Any one can help me??? If I will not get any technical answer from here now, I will try to get solution from The same shop which I Purchase this phone, And I will Post it here, For future reference for others who are facing same problem.......!!!
Don't try to update software in Samsung Galaxy Advance Even If it is Official
Dears,
I tried to update My Samsung Galaxy Advance from settings as official. When the process was going on, Phone Bricked. I went to same shop which I purchased this phone with Warranty card. they said that you have to wait at least 15 days, They have to send it to Samsung Service center, And finally I got my phone after 15 days. Now phone is OK, with the same software GB. Then They Said that It is normal to this phone Don't try to update this phone again... "Even if it is Official"
I'm sorry that I don't know about the manual update From GB to JB. I didn't try it. If any one tried and succeeded....!!? Let me know How can I do it???
real background of updates
i had same phone as you but i had it after one month i brought My phone . It was the update that causes the problem. before that my mobile used to hang a lot sometime while calling or surfing the internet. then one day i got a update for my phone. (S advance . I kept it on charging while updating so that there can be no power failure at all. The update completed successfully . But when after update my mobile did not start up IT WAS A HARD BRICK . But i had it wareenty . so it went to the store from i brought it and After 1 and half month i got a new one back. It was terible time going daily to the store, asking waiting in lines blah etc. NOW HERE IS AN IMPORTANT THING I WAS ABLE TO DISCOVER . first lets take a example of windows pc as windows is the most common OS Around. sometimes when you update you windows xp vista 7 8 any one some programs do not function correctly give you errors , slow speed , hanging your PC. in many conditions removing the corrupted software might work. The new update make the previous system files changed means over right them. some of these over righted files are used my some installed software who become faulty as result of update and cause havoc in your pc by doing unstable function in your pc ultimate the pc breakdowns and every thing has to be re installed again even OS. ANDROID would be having same characteristic. means that the more apps you have on you android device the more likely it to get BRICKED. because after update some would become corrupted and brick the phone. HERE IS MY SCHEME TO update successfully your android device BE CAREFULL ! THIS METHOD IS NOT SUCCESSFUL ON EVERY DEVICE DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK. IT FOR EDUCATION PURPOSES ONLY
FOR updating you android device
1. Backup your important data like photos music etc
2. Then format your phone completely and make sure before updating there is at least 80% battery left
3. Then update it and restore you data back.
IT looks easy but its not as i said,do it on your own risk as it is still beta method. I Will not be responsible for anything. if you cant update it yourself go to a mobile repair shop they should be able to do that for you. IF you liked my information hit THANKS BUTTON:laugh::angel::crying::silly:
Hey, i rooted my galaxy s3 using CF-root and it worked fine.
Then the update (don't know what version) came out and i couldn't update, i decided to just get stock rom back on it and remove the root.
So i used the easiest way and just updated my firmware in Kies. This of course lead to emergency firmware recovery and this would let me restore it to stock ROM. The problem now is that it's stuck at 0% doing the emergency firmware recovery. I understand that a fix might be to run Kies as an administrator but that would require me to first exit Kies and try again. The problem is that it is stuck at 0% and it won't give me an error. How do i get out of emergency recovery mode to run it as an administrator?
One other thing that might be related, my phone has been freezing randomly a lot lately. I know how this is caused and this is why i also decided to just restore stock rom. I'm wondering if it has something to do with it being stuck at 0%.
It's also possible the screen it's displaying now (the phone) has just frozen and that may be what's causing the 0% stuff.
I'm just going to leave it at the 0% screen until i get a response telling me how to get out of this screen.
It's been on 0% for well over 30 minutes.
The phone model is the international version (GT-19300)
as far as i know there is a software update for my phone, at least i got prompted for an update and in Kies i also get a prompt for an update.
I don't really care what the update's version is, but i know there is an udate and the version is probably irrelevant.
Update for 4.2.2 please clarify as its not released as far as we know .
Please what phone model as well .

The model is the GT-19300 (international version) and for the software update, i don't know what version it is but i assumed it was 4.2.2
I guess i was wrong about the exact version but anyway there was a software update.

Okay, i just got an error message from kies which is good since that means it's stopped trying.
Can i just flash it from emergency recovery mode? Every tutorial out there tells me to get into download mode which i can't get into.
I'm going to try it the Kies-way one more time while running it as an administrator and see if that works in the meantime.
Yes!, i just tried it using the "use the recovery code" or something button and it's actually counting now.
Thanks for the help anyway.

Let us know if the Kies-way is Working..
I don't really know what happened now but it seems to be stuck again at 0%, maybe i mistook the unpacking binaries-screen for the installing screen. Anyway it's still at 0%...
I'll try a few more times and see if anyone else knows what to do.
Otherwise i guess i'll take it to a store or contact samsung or something even though it had root on it.

Yeah i know but i'll have few other options... also it's been at 0% for around 2 hours now...
guess i'll just disconnect the cable soon and try with a different USB port and diferfent cable or something.
Well there's one positive thing, it still gets into emergency recovery mode.
Hooray! it's now actually installing it and i didn't mistake it for downloading this time. I switched USB ports and now it works apparently.
Also something people that do this in the future should know: if you unplug the cable, it just gives you the error message saying that it couldn't find it which shouldn't cause any trouble. BUT only do this once it is stuck at 0%.
