S5830i ... rather mucked up .. - Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

moved this to a new thread ....so hopefully might get more exposure. :rolleyes
Dear lil Grandson s phone, has been cocked up by some duff flashing of another ROM ..
So here is grandad trying to sort it ..
Tried Kies and the stupid software se's e the phone but will not accept the phones serial number ? .. so failed there..
Various Odins Don't see the Phone.. partial fail
One Odin version see's the phone but fails after a few seconds of trying to flash .a Standard Rom.
Can Still get in to the Standard system recevery but just can't get anything to work ..
lots of errors like
can't mount /cache ( invalid argument)
can't mount cache/receovery etc
can't open cache recovery etc
At a bit of a loss as I'm no expert on Android ,
( But I'm old and need the work .. )
Could it be a kernel problem ??
Any clues peeps ???
thanks in Hope .
Chris
Update 1 day later ...
Maybe made it worse .. installed a temp CWM without kernel then flashed a custom rom for this phone ace-i -sure 8 ..
it all went in ok and reported all installed without problems,,, reboot and back to hanging at login ..
But now cannot get into standard recovery .
gone from part bricked to ??? ..

Well moved on a bit ..
paid for a reflash with a riff box or similar off the web ... got it back and now its starting ok ...
But .. its been flashed with a standard Rom seems of Chinesey origin ?..
There's a few chinese app in there .. browser/mail etc ..... No play store, and can't get it installed as it needs an account and the Phone only seems to use the chinese Email app, it won't link to our gmail .
Any clue on getting this back to a useful state ??
thanks in hope

play store installed butdoesn't seem to be linked to our gmail account , although Gmail is workingok .
or tried to install some app via the play store page in the browser and play store says ! you don't have any devices" ?
would also like to junk the chinese apps off the phone , but i suppose if Play store gets working I can get an App to do this ??

You dont.need recovery to flash stock rom. You need download mode. Volume up + down + power. Follow this tut.

Thanks :good: Used your link , actually have read it a few times before ..butobviously not closely enough
as I Didn't know the Download mode ,I used either up or Down volumes + home + Power and was still stuck at the Logo,
could the up+down +power have Worked ?.
I Used the Australian One as the indian rom download always gave corrupted archives ..
But popped it in via odin and all seems to be oK . no nasty chinese stuff .:victory:
NB been mailing the polish ebay bloke, and he says you can't get an English Rom to work ?? errmmm Pass !!
Seems the He used a riff box or similar as the contacts under the label have been cleaned off and solder tinned .
does this make sense

My Galaxy s2 is Died ??

hi all
this is my first topic here and i really need your help please
yesterday i've installed the first cust. rom and it was successfully installed ,, but the camera quality wasn't good so i decided to change it
i've downloaded one and went to the market and install ( Rom manager )
and i went there and select install rom from SD card or sth like this ( from the rom manager programme itself ! )
i've selected the last 2 and it asks me for restart ,, ok!
after that i'm not able to turn on my mobile ! it's giving me a black screen like it's off but if you focused little bit you can find light blinks so fast as lightning !
i started pushing bottoms (( home bottom several times )) and it was giving me white screen flashes every 2 seconds and it won't stop !
i tryed to identify my mobile using the ODIN but not working as well
please i need your help guys please
Thank you
Mohammad Al-Youssef
Firstly, post in the correct section (Q&A).
Secondly, NEVER use ROM Manager with ClockworkMod Recovery. The two hate each other and always mess up (as is evident here).
Thirdly, can you get into download mode?

you shouldnt used rom manager, users have complained about soft bricks

I think you have lost your bootloader, need to pick up the boot for it before upgrade a ROM for next times.

No service after flashed jelly blast

Hi all,
Just flashed the jellyblast rom onto my s5830i, it's all working except I've got no signal/service.
I've been reading around and found that I might have to install a radio? If so, does anyone have any help as to which one?
Any help much appreciated, or if you need more info please ask.
Cheers,
Jack.

Well I'm using jelly blast no problem... I'm guessing you're using 3.0.5 (latest) did you first flash 3.0.4? If not i suggest going back to stock then 3.0.4 then .5
You might of had some random conflict if you flashed from another custom ROM to Jelly Blast
Also what do you mean radio?
The app? That's included in Jelly Blast, well it is in 3.0.4 (that's what I'm using)
Oh and apparently I'm now meant to tell people to ask questions and stuff in the sticky thread (The one by "iamareebjamal"), or post this in the jelly blast thread to help keep the general section free from spam
The usual Xx James xX only on mobile (XDA Premium)
I think you've lost your IMEI (don't worry it's not lost, this rom somehow can't read your IMEI number). Please check your IMEI number by using *#06# on call screen.
If you can't see your IMEI number, install GalaxyToolbox and check the IMEI from there. If you can see the IMEI from GalaxyToolbox, it means IMEI is still there but rom can't read it.
Please install any other rom. (you can/should backup your IMEI by using GalaxyToolbox before doing anyting on your system)
jelly blast no service fix

Thanks for bricking my phone.....
it doesn't work my phone can't go into CMW or boot now i would be extremely grateful for some help please.
@jrtbing, lets dig some graveyard mate, shall we First of all jellyBlast was band from XDA ages ago ( not to be mention there are far more sophisticated stable Rom @ Dev sub forum)
As for your problem goes, please remove your battery for ~1 Minute ( don't make any difference though, just for discharging purposes ).
put it back and try press and hold the Volume Up + Home keys and then long press the Power key till the start up screen with “Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i″ logo blinks for two times and you see your desired recovery screen.
If the combo keys provided don't be effective ( due to possible boot loop, corruption of your partitions; kernel ,,etc,,etc,,) we need to check your download mode by pushing (Volume(+) + Volume(-) + Power) simultaneously ,, still no use,, You probably hard-bricked your device mate. USB jig might be your last solution to force your device get into Download mode, nothing will be guaranteed though.

Please help - Hacker deleted my CM OS

So this guy online tried to make me send come cash via Western Union to China so that he can "buy my car and freight it over". I knew it was a scam so i kept msging on my Samsung Galaxy S3 with CM mod. In the end he got the ****s and next thing you know my whole OS is gone, i enter recovery mod there is nothing there, everything has been wiped out.
I can still go through all functions but i cannot mount anything. Is there any way to get my OS back?
I tried to use KIES to recover by default but it says i cannot update the device, i think its because i run CM?
Thanks
okay first 1.Why would you keep messaging with a guy who tries to scamm you ?
2. I don't think this is possibile for someone to "hack" into your phone just like that .
3. perhaps your phone died ,suddenly ?
4. flash the rescue firmware ,maybe it can help .
5. I still don't believe it

Yes i was like you, i believe it is not possible for him just to hack my phone so i kept messing with him. But the fact that after i lead him on for 5 days and right after the last email i sent him my phone just went dead. I cannot bypass the Samsung screen during startup, and it seems like it might have been bricked.
I don't see how i been using CM for last year and nothing happen and next thing this happened because then it would have happen to alot of other people using CM mod.
i have been using cm for almost 2 years ( alot of nigerians tried to scamm via email ,but i don't respond to emails ( unknown ) via phone because of data scripts)) , and i have to say ,happend to me once while playing a game ,phone suddenly turned off ,tried to turn on and ended in a bootloop .
Once you roooted your phone and changed the rom kies become unavailable for firmware upgrades . Try use odin and flash rescue firmware maybe it will help with something . Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6

[q] help! My phone is not starting!

After installing this (don't install (download is fine) this unless you know what you're doing).
It then proceeded to reboot and now when i try switch it on the "Galaxy Note 3" stuff pops up, then it blinks and i can't turn it on without taking off the battery (then i get the white "galaxy note 3" screen as usual again".
I can only get into recovery mode and i really don't want to factory reset as i just went on holiday and didn't back-up my pics yet.

Well, if we had any clue what you were trying to do on which phone, providing help would probably be a bit easier.

Oops looks like the hyperlink didn't work.
I am too new to post links. Type www . datafilehost . com / d / 58831a1e without the spaces.
I granted it root access then my phone restarted, then the normal galaxy note 3 white text appeared but then the phone crashed.
I went into recovery mode, however now if i try go to recovery mode it simply restarts the phone one again then crashes.
I can't even reset it now since i can't get into recovery mode (this may be due to me (noob) accidentally pressing restart with ADP or something like that).
My phone is a galaxy note 3 (rooted with kingo root) SM-N9005 (got this mobile phone from a1 . net on a contract).

If you pirate, crap happens. Do not pirate.
Anyway, you should contact Chainfire because he is the creator of Chainfire3D. Don't know if he will help you because you pirated his application... :screwy:
Anyway, I will update this after I get his email. UPDATE: [email protected], send an email to that with the title "[root] Chainfire3D"

Looks like i learnt the hard way to not pirate. I usually pirate something i really like but as i am not 18 yet i can't pay for it.
On another note, is there any way to get into recovery mode as i screwed that up as well (read previous post).

I would recommend instead getting the OEM rom and following recovery procedure.

or search for your model number & carrier here:

Ah, if you only knew what you were talking about...
Sammobile is not directly from Samsung / the manufacturer and they have used rapidgator as one of their upload sites along with terafile as their official uploads and most of the guides you find just link to those sites. Plus if you understand how Odin works, you know that it checks the md5 first to assure the file is not corrupted. That and the OP wanted instructions, which you didn't bother helping with either. We obviously have a different idea what "wrong" is, it would appear.

I think you've panic and worsen your problem. You've flashed many roms and you told us that some of those roms are for those phone who just have the same specs on yours. Flashing roms which are not for your device will lead you to problem as far as I know. Look for some devs here. Im just stating an opinion. Cheer up! You can fix you phone men.
