Galaxy ace won't boot to anything - Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys someone plz help. I flashed some random ROM and now the phone won't boot up. It doesn't go to recovery or boot loader. Just keeps on rebooting. I tried all possible combinations but nothing worked.
Plz see the pics attached. Whenever m trying to boot into recovery and boot loader all I see is some screen like broken or something. (Second pic).

@burninitup, Humm I see where you come from,, Let's run an experiment on your device and see if we can restore it to its former glory .
Technically you did hard bricked your device ( claiming both Recovery and Download mode are not accessible), so your last hope might be USBjig to force your device into Download mode. However in some cases with black /distorted images these instructions might work:
1. Remove your battery for ~1 Minute ( don't make any difference though, just for discharging purposes ).
2. Phone is off, Now try to get into Download mode by pushing (Volume(+) + Volume(-) + Power) simultaneously; ONLY IF phone will turn on ( doesn't matter you have no visuals ), then press volume up;connect your device through USB cable; have your correct Wipe-flash able PDA/CSC/MODEM + boot loader+ pit file at hands ; Re-partition ticked ) .
phone should be detected in "ID:COM" area ( green USB signal), then proceed with your flashing over Odin.
Hope I did help you

Hi bro,
according to your problem it shows that you have Hard bricked your device you may need to provide it with JTAG service which may revive back your bootloader values then flash it using Odin

Thanks for ur reply but it is running fine now. I don't know what the problem was but i kept it without battery for around whole night and in the morning when i plugged in the battery and try the download mode, it worked and then same with the Odin and stuff. And it's running very well now.

Same Issue with me also
Thanks All. I have the similar issue. My phone boots again and again (I guess it is in bootloop) with no volume. Please guide me in flashing the phone to any stock/custom ROM and let me know if I have to start a new thread for this issue.
I have followed the procedure on the link: http://unbrick.itcse.com/unbrick-soft-bricked-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830/ and downloaded ODIN 4.38 but the phone is not getting detected in ODIN and it is not getting into download mode by pressing Vol UP + Vol Down + Power keys.
Then, I got a software named Samsung 300K Tool.exe which forces the phone into download mode. It forces the phone to download mode.
I have downloaded samsung drivers from the link: http://www.android.gs/download-samsung-usb-drivers-for-android/
Then, I followed the instructions provided in the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELeDUwa9c34
It is instructed in this video to install Odin3-v1.85 in which phone is getting detected (pic is attached). I followed the whole process in the above video and the result is PASS in green (pic attached) but the result is same. No Improvement.
Please help and guide me to get the phone recovered to any ROM (stock/custom)
Any help will be highly appreciated.

@vijay.gupta, You didn't clarify whether you were on s5830 "i" variation, code name : CooperVe or not ,, I wrote an instruction for status 7 errors on CM11 (post#297) which you can proceed from the line starts with "- We need wipe flash-able zip package,,,," to get out of boot loop.
Get all of the tools from either sources available to you and get to your download mode and do the following instruction in regards of ( PDA/CSC/MODEM) / boot loader/ pit file ( doesn't matter you have no access to E3 stock recovery at the moment for wipe instruction , just put the required files into Odin3 and rest of the story was depicted in clear detail ).

@ ehsanotaku - I have s5830i variant.
i will follow the instructions on the following link by you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-ace/s5830i-develop/stock-rom-odin-flashable-firmware-t3002776
and let you know what happens.

[Q]Solved - S2 I9100G Wont Boot Only Enters Recovery

Hi All,
First off, thanks for taking the trouble read my post!
In the attempt to root my I9100G phone using Odin and GT-I9100G_LP7_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4.tar, I stupidly followed the wrong instructions at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679778
I didn't have ICS - only GB - so I was completely wrong. Whilst Odin said success, the phone now only boots into Recovery Mode.
1) I can't enter Download Mode - I've tried but the Download screen just blinks and then CWM-Based Recovery Mode reappears.
2) I have tried wiping the cache
3) I have tried wiping data/factory reset
4) If I try to plug in the USB cable whilst in Recovery Mode, Odin does not recognise/detect the phone
5) The only way for me to shut down the phone now is to pull the battery out
I have also tried following Phistachio's Guide on "Fix an unflashable or soft bricked I9100G" but since Odin does not detect the phone when I plug the USB cable, I can't get past Step 3.
I'm a noob so according to the XDA video, I hate myself for messing up! I would appreciate ANY help - as I'm such a noob, please try to speak to me like you would to a 5-year old.
Thanks
------------------------------
Dear All,
I'm happy to report that by the grace of Jesus Christ alone - after trying multiple times to quickly press the Volume Up key when the Downloading screen blinked, Odin suddenly detected the device - and I immediate proceeded to flash it with superatmos_I9100G_kernel_v3.2.tar
The phone has now started up and I'm in the process of restoring backups.
Thank you!!
Wrong thread mate. This is only for GT-I9100, there is another one for the G version. Better ask there
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
so u can boot into recovery mode.. why not flash another kernel through recovery mode
1)just pull out your SD card and connect it to ur computer through any SD reader
2)download the .zip file of any custom kernel u like and the put ur SD back in ur phone and flash that kernel and install that zip file from your recovery then wipe cache and data and see what happens
Note : u can do that also with a whole rom ( cwm flashable )
Solved!

Unbrick/Recover your ACE (with odin and stock ROM links)

Here are the four things you need to download (click on the "download original" button on the pages):
1 Odin Multi Uploader https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwNCaWy_zhKpZlFtZVZOWmdTbG1xWFdhVG1NSjF1dw/edit?pli=1
2 Cooper OPS file https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwNCaWy_zhKpc3VraEtTNDNUZU9FM01KNG1WQkRldw/edit?pli=1
3 Samsung Drivers (You only need these if you dont have Kies installed. If you never installed Samsung Kies, then install these drivers) https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwNCaWy_zhKpVWlWY3huaTdUOXlPR09YRWdYZFU0dw/edit?pli=1
4 The Firmware Package https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwNCaWy_zhKpYXFqaUhYc1dScy1tbURySk9wTFBWUQ/edit?usp=drive_web&pli=1
Ok, once you download all those, follow these steps:
5 Unplug your phone from the PC
6 Install the Samsung Drivers and reboot your PC
7 Extract the Firmware Package zip file and place the two files directly on your desktop
8 Run the Odin program
9 Put your phone in Download Mode and connect it to the PC
10 Put a checkmark on the One Package, Auto Reboot, and Protect OPS options.
11 Click on the OPS Button, and load the Cooper OPS file you downloaded
12 On the bottom of Odin, click on the One Package button.
13 Choose the long named file (S5830DDQ8_ etc.) from your desktop that you unzipped from the firmware package file
14 Press the Start button on Odin
15 Wait about 5-10 minutes, until Odin says "Pass!" at the top. You can then disconnect your phone and if it doesnt reboot on its own, turn it on.
Very Important: As soon as your phone loads, do a factory reset to avoid bootloop. Go into the Settings App, choose Privacy, and then reset the phone. This will complete the process and your phone will be back to an "out of the box" condition. :good:
Hi Sir, I followed your instructions even Odin Pass the flashing of the firmware, it always looping on boot, from samsung logo to boot animation then to samsung logo again, and so on..
glad you can help me here thanks

Be patient and try to follow carefully. But I am afraid to say that if you have done something wrong with above process then you may be never able to recover your ACE. After using Odin method and recovering your ACE to stock mode and following the wiping cache/factory reset etc your ACE will be in perfect factory released condition. After that if you wish to install any custom ROM you need to flash the ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6.zip file. This file you can get easily from Galaxy Ace XDA forum. ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 will enable your rooted device recovery mode functionality to work properly while flashing custom Galaxy ACE 5830 ROMs.
P.S: Precautions:
1. Always use rooted device. (Flash 'Root.zip' once if your device is not rooted)
2. Always follow the instructions written by developer to flash his customized ROM with maximum care that you can for getting things done in proper way.
3. Read the reviews and posts of the customized ROM carefully to get yourself acquainted with the issues and problems of that particular ROM.

I was also having the same problem as of yours but after following the above instructions properly everything was all right. I hope you understand what steps 9-15 exactly means. If you don't then you have surely bricked your phone while trying those steps.
For getting your phone in download mode follow these steps
1. disconnect the usb and switch off the phone.
2. Press volume up + Down and connect usb to phone.
3. The phone will boot in download mode automatically and the drivers will be loaded.
Also let me know if you are successfully getting the 15th step "Pass" msg and if you are rebooting it properly and doing factory reset etc.. ?

flashing only takes 5-6minutes not 11..if u waited for so long better to unplug the device and put it again on download mode..on ODIN reset the files,,if u encounterting BOOTLOP download fullpackage which include APPBOOT, a fullpackage that i only used is XXKPH firmware, if u wanted to UPGRADE to 2.3.6 download XWKTM, XWKPT any of that file, its the best stock ROM last for a day..
note: if u are flashing via odin the OPS file should be renamed to Cooper_v1.0.ops this is very important so that flashing will success..
For Avoiding the bootloop go to recovery mod after you flashed the firmware and do factory reset and reboot the phone.,the bootloop problem will be fix..

Its already mentioned if you have read my steps carefully that- after flashing your ROM you need to do a factory reset/wipes in CWM recovery MOD; I think readers are not paying attention to that statement so I've changed the colour and font style

[Q] Help needed: galaxy young stuck in cwm loop

Hi all,
I need some help please.
I tried to root my sons galaxy young S6310N using a video on you tube
However at the 4.41 point I didnt have the yes- root option.
I themn rebooted and it went back into CWM recovery. v6.0.3.2
It's been stuck in this for 2 days now, I have searched everywhere for a solution but I'm lost now. I have information overload I think.
I have tried to install drivers through Kies but it won't recognise my phone in CWM recovery or in download mode.
I have tried to install a custom rom via sd card, it seems to work but reboots into CWM again.
I fear I may have made a mess of it now by messing around with things I know nothing about. I panicked really.
The phone was running jelly bean and is only a week old.
I can get adb but not sure how to use it properly.
Could someone please help?
Thanks in advance
sorted it myself
Hi, just in case anyone was interested I managed to sort this.
I put phone into download mode (holding vol - & menu & power) then pressed up at logo screen to enter download mode.
My pc then installed drivers automatically (something I had been struggling with in CWM recovery mode)
I then installed stock rom recovery.tar.md5 file using odin and the phone rebooted as normal.
I have given up trying to root it now, I may learn properly before attempting again, or may leave it.

Good..but always use recovery for ur phone only..or make it for ur phone..
And do any changes in stock ROM after creating a BACKUP of the same..
ROOTING is not a difficult now-a-days but overcoming from the loss of time and data after BRICKING is so painful.
If you are not friendly with the commands and codes then use a software for that or follow up the WRITTEN guide..or use FARMAROOT app.
Head to thread...Thanks Mr. Bin4ry for this awesome method:
Rooting almost every phone
Enjoy..!!

[Q] I-9300 bootloop and no recovery

Hello,
I have a S3 which is stuck in a bootloop at the samsung logo.
when i turn it on it shows the logo for some seconds then the screen goes black and the logo re-appears.
i can not boot into recovery mode, but download mode is working without a problem every time.
i tried flashing stock firmwares with odin and also tried kies emergency firmware recovery. the flashing always went without any problem, but it had effect. whatever i try, i am never able to boot into recovery and still stuck in the bootloop.
in some tries after flashing the screen just shows the samsung logo forever, but after rebooting it once it then is stuck in a bootloop again (shows the logo - screen goes black - shows the logo...)
i also tried flashing TWRP and CWM via odin, but again i can never boot into recovery mode.
what should i try next?
thx alot for any helpful comment

You can Try this:
1.) Pull out battery
2.) Put it in again
3.) Press Vol up + home + power
4.) When the Samsung Logo appears let it off
I think you press the Buttons too long.
I had the same problem!

i really tried everything, it's not working. btw with i am stuck at the very first image, where it says "samsung Galaxy sII GT-I9300".
i dont think it's just the way i press the buttons because i can reach it on my s1 and s2 without a problem, it's just not working on this device.
could some setting like "nand erase all" in odin help? in other threads there is sometimes mentioned that the internal file system might be screwed up and in those cases a simple odin reflash does not help anymore...
Nand erase will usually hard brick it. Try the rescue firmware from general forum, sticky thread. Follow the guide exactly as it includes a pit file.

thx, but i already did that (multiple times) and flashing via odin always succeeds. then the phone reboots and is stuck at the first samsung galaxy s.. screen. twice i managed somehow to get into recovery (after flashing cwm6) but it then randomly rebooted.
and i dont think that the power button is stuck because when i am in download mode it is perfectly fine it never reboots itself unexpectedly.
Had a similar issue on my tab2 p3100. It all happened when I tried flashing a custom recovery from rom manager.
A bad flash of anything related to recovery or bootloader could be a probable cause.
I remember a knowledge share on one of the threads describing this issue and as mentioned on it all I had to do is this:
1) switch off the device and plug in the charger. This would light up the display showing you the charging status. The status has to show if at least your bootloader part of the phone is fine.
2) plug out the charger and immediately press the three buttons (home + vol up + power) get into recovery mode. This step has to work and help you get to recovery mode.
***Note : the interval within which this step has to be performed is too short since the display would turn off immediately as soon as you plug out the charger. A bit tricky too so you have to be fast. If this misses getting you into recovery, pull out the battery and put it back again. Repeat step1 and 2 again.
3) upon successfully getting into recovery, perform wipe data, cache and select reboot phone from option available on recovery again.
Allow the device to boot. This could take a while since you have performed a data wipe and may prompt for first time set up.
I was able to restore functionality on my tab after these steps and like ppl learn from their mistakes, I then learnt that recoveries and bootloaders are things that needs to be done with a pc only.
Worth a try if you have tried other alternatives and found no go. may help. Who knows..
all the best.
thats also not working. i tried to get into recovery since two days now...
i also tried the steps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-pit-bricked-dead-problem-gt-t2535367
but again, after i flash the cf-root (successfully) the phone does neither boot into recovery by itself nor can i do it by hand...
its crazy... in download mode i can see the model number (GT-I9300) and i thought as long as the model number is there and i can enter download mode there should be a way to recover the device.
but i cannot think of anything to try that i have not done yet
If the rescue firmware didn't help then it looks like the emmc chip is damaged.

is there a way to make certain of this? how can i tell if it is really a hardware damage and not just a software brick?
i just dont want to let the phone go, it looks still so shiny
is there anything else that could cause the phone not booting into recovery mode after flashing custom recoveries?

Same here, still didn't found how to fix it.. I guess our motherboard just died..
Howewer I have a solution that "almost" worked for me.
Get a stock firmware in odin and turn on Nand erase and T-flash
When it's done phone reboots and you'll see just "Downloading..." mode when you turn it on.
Then got to Kies and Select firmware recovery...
Enter s/n and model name and wait for the flash to complete.
With it , I got past boot logo and actually booted into android but the phone crashed because I guess I have a memory issue..
Well , gl. If you don't find anything else helpful , try going with this method..

Question one: do you know anyone else who has that phone?
Question two: have you tried running Odin with it and posting any info you get from there?
Question three: which carrier is this? I don't recognize the model number
Hopefully we can get the thing kicking again :fingers-crossed:

Greetings to all!
I write to ask for help! My Samsung S3 SHV-E210S rebooted and stayed on the Samsung logo.
I tried and tried to flash all the Sammobile roms, and I stopped in NAND Write Start ...
I used all the Odins, all the versions, and anyway I am stopped in NAND Write Start ...
If I can enter Download mode.
Pulse Volume Up + Home + Power, goes into recovery but I get this image ...

I tried to install CWM and TWRP, without success.
I searched the 4 files to repair but I can not find them.
If you can help me I would appreciate it in advance.
Will my s3 be dead?

Try another cable and make sure you use a port on the motherboard. If using a laptop use the port that is single, whatever side it may be on..
When connecting the phone make sure you have kies installed but NOT running. You can stop all the kies processes in task manager.
Make sure the phone is in download mode BEFORE connecting it to a pc. This ensures the correct drivers are used to communicate with the phone in that specific mode.
Get the md5 hash of the file you're trying to flash and google it to make sure it matches known files.
If you're absolutely sure your cable and port are good, you've tried an official cwm and a known working stock rom but you still get "e:/failed to mount" errors or failing at "nand write start" in odin then you can attempt a .pit file but it is VERY dangerous for the device and can brick it.
Failing that you have a dead device.
