Well, I have the same device, and the same problem, i can't get to the download mode no matter what i try, i practically tried all the combination that there is, when i try RECOVERY mode, i get the dead android, the phone boots but I can't unlock the screen ( my kid tried too many combinations) the wifi is not on to try the google account thingy, the debugging mode is not on, so i can't try with the ADB too. i'm really desperate, seems like nothing is working for this phone.
If anyone can help, please !!

Check this out.Probably it works with Galaxy S Duos as well.

thank you for your quick reply,
i have already tried all these combinations though, and none of them is working :/ i'm quite familiar with rooting and flashing roms, I don't usually have problems with it, but Samsung phones seem to often have that problem, especially accessing the recovery or the download mode, i'm really lost here, can't find any solutions or help so far ! seems to me like this phone is screwed ! is it ?

your phone is not broke! Relax! Enter Download mode (Vol. down+ home+ power) and flash a stock firmware of your region or any other stock! Guide here
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS!
If the phone does not boot up and is looping, then simply remove the battery> Reinsert> enter recovery (vol. up+home+power) and do a factory reset and cache wipe and reboot!

are you sure the jig will work because i read online that that only fixed soft bricked phones, and mine is described as a hardbricked phone
if your phone could not turn on, jig probably won't work for you. It is best used for boot-loop or similar situations.

If home is a soft key then you have the AT&T SGS2. Go to that forum and ask for the key combination for download mode. Once you are in download mode flash a rom.

[Q] Bricked my Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830i)

Hello,
I tried to reinstall a custom rom but I forgot to install it with CWM so it was installed with the default Android recovery. After the ZIP was installed I rebooted my phone but now it doesn't get any further than the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i logo. I tried to boot in recovery and download mode but both of them doesn't work. I hope some of you can help me. I bricked my phone before but then I could get into download mode but now I don't.
Thanks a lot

Try the following guide to see if you can force open Download Mode through odin mode. Here is the link,
How to unbrick Samsung Galaxy Ace
This guide was meant for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 and hence the Download Mode key combination is different. So make sure the change the Download Mode key combination to your own device. If you can force open the Download Mode this way, then you can try installing the stock rom. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

As you can't enter the Recovery Mode and Download Mode, you have pretty much hard-bricked your phone. Since the above method didn't work, then you can try the USB Jig (not always guaranteed to work). If USB Jig did work, then it will force open the Download Mode so you can flash stock rom back using odin. If USB Jig doesn't work either, then your last option is to consult the Service Center. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

Thanks a lot! I can get my phone in download-mode now by pressing volume up and down plus the lock key. Normally it's lock key plus home button plus the volume down key but that didn't work but this did!! I can't say how much I should thank you! You saved my life.
THANKS

Turning on phone stays on Galaxy Ace logo forever

Im turning on a Galaxy Ace and it says on the Galaxy Ace startup logo forever.
Is there any way to hard reset it? Trying to put it into Download Mode and/or Safe Mode the same exact thing happens.
When I turn the phone off and charge it thru AC, the battery icon comes on stating it is charging. Does Odin see it in tha moment so maybe I can flash it then? Like I said i cannot get into safe or download mode.
Im leaving the phone on and see if it will completely drain the battery and charge it up again from there.

Can you tell us what exactly happened that caused this problem? Like did you install a new rom, kernel, etc. Try taking out the battery and then put it on and press the Download Mode key combo. See if you can enter the Download Mode. Do post the result.

Well, WhatsApp "self uninstalled" itself as when I tried to see it in the Applications list all that appeared is "com.whatsapp" so I went ahead and redownloaded from the Play Store. It complained about there being low disk space but it told me that it installed it successful. I tried to open it and it said that it had stopped working. So I went ahead and turned it off. And ever since that, I try turning it on and it stays like that.
Like I mentioned, I try entering Download Mode and it stays the same way with the logo.

Can you enter Recovery Mode? If yes, try doing Wipe data/ factory reset and Wipe cache partitions. See if it works. If not, then try using the following guide to force open Download Mode from odin. The guide is meant for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 and thus the key combination mentioned in the guide is different. Since you are using Galaxy Ace S5830i, make sure to hold Vol Up+ Vol Down+ Power to enter the Download Mode. Here is the link,
How to unbrick Samsung Galaxy Ace
If your PC can't detect your phone, then its most probably the drivers that giving you that problem. Use the following guide to download all the necessary files including drivers,

This is stock. I dont have any recovery installed on this phone.
Like i mentioned, i tried entering both safe mode and download mode and it just stays stuck there on that same screen.
is there a way to do it when the phone is off or thru a microsd card???

First of all, there is always a Recovery Mode in your phone. If you haven't installed any separate one's, then you will have the stock Recovery Mode. To enter it, hold on Vol Up + Home + Power button while switching on your phone. Pressing the Download Mode combo normally and pressing the Download Mode combo while your phone is connected to odin is an entirely different thing. Now you can also try the USB Jig but let me tell you its not always guaranteed to work. If USB Jig did work, then it will force open the Download Mode and you install the stock rom back using odin. If none of the above works, then its better to consult the Service Center as it could be a hardware problem.
