[Q] How to Fix Bricked Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-5839i) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so I'm really desperate for help because my samsung galaxy ace s5839i is stuck on the 'booting loop' when basically it keeps loading up but doesen't actually turn on.
I already tried clearing cache & hard reseting but none of that worked.
I am able to enter the 'Odin' mode but I just need a guide on how to unbrick my phone because I have looked nearly everywhere but couldn't find the right files to put in Odin for my phone, everything was for the s58390i model.
P.S I live in England and I'm using 3(three) mobile network.
I need to know how to fix my phone asap, will appreciate help so much!
This has never happened to this phone before, it's happened to my Sony before but I managed to fix it because it was very simple to find the right files.

Please help!

Your welcome please do let me know if it works out but I'm confident it should. I used these files many times to restore my 5839i from Softbrick. Good luck

that sucks, must be a hardware problem these files never failed for me. I still have the galaxy just for potching with and still use them.
What did you flash to cause the loop?

That's the thing, my phone got soft bricked out of nowhere, I turned it off when it was charging and when turning it on it never turned on, just stayed on the boot loop!

Definitely a little strange when you flashed the files with Odin did you tick the box for "re-partition"? Normally you wouldn't want to repartition but because you have the cooperve.pit file it's safe. And should replace all partitions even the boot sector. Also F.reset can be ticked.
Also make sure you run Odin as administrator. Right click on Odin and select Run as Administrator.
Otherwise unfortunately it's probably a hardware issue.
