I would really appreciate some help, i'm really stuck here! Thank you very much

If the Ace follows the same 'structure' as other Samsung devices, then a USB JIG will get you to download mode without having to use the button combo.....
You simply plug it into the usb port on the device and it will automatically force download mode.
You can get them for 'pocket change' off eBay........
You WILL have to get that button sorted at some point though.......

PROBLEM???
1) I have an GT I9000G Galaxy SII wid official stock gingerbread for India
2) I was listening to music then suddenly... the phone rebooted itself and displayed the green android logo saying POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE
3) now the phone wont turn on despite pressing power button and cant enter into recovery or download mode...
what i have done so far....
1) take out sim... sdcard... battery...
2) connect GSII to laptop with odin 1.8x running
3) put battery back on while pressing both vol up n down button
.... this was supposed to bring back download mode according to http://androidforums.com/vibrant-tips-tricks/223806-guide-fixing-bricks-odin-errors.html
...but no download mode for me....
Anyone have any idea abt what to do???
Request: plz dont tell me to send it to samsung service center....
THANKX FOR UR REPLY
Not Vol up and down!!!! Vol down + home button and power button. This is For download Mode....
power off the phone.
hold the volume down+home+power button. this will boot u into download mode.
ten connect to pc and use odin to flash
c'mon guys... dont tell me you thought i dont know how to enter the download mode.... what u are suggesting is for normal phones (vol down+home+power)... if u read my problem once again u will know that my phone is not turning on at all... nomatter how long i press the power button (battery is fully charged) and there was a strange msg "power reset or unknown upload mode" with green android robot in the screen before all this started!!! so if u have any idea abt how to fix this... do comment... although im considering sending back my s2 to samsung service center... anyways thankx

Try to use a jig.......
hey Gnom2509
you should be more clear because if you search jig it would show a dance or tool or whatever in the search results. rajeshbabushrestha he means a usb jig.
I'm very sorry. My fault. I thought a usb jig. It will force the Download Mode,........maybe.
Update
i took my phone to samsung service center and apparently there was a problem with motherboard... solution: changing motherboard im posting this to help others who might have this type of problem in future :fingers-crossed:

I'm sorry, but only motherboard replacement will help.
You shouldn't have used a .PIT file just for removing root. Download and Recovery modes don't work, so it's hard hard hard bricked.
Very bad sir :S

I'm sorry but you should blame yourself for this. Even the experienced ones are always very careful when dealing with .Pit file
Send your phone to Samsung repair if your phone is still under warranty.

Yes, stop asking questions have already been asked. There are plenty of topics on this exact topic already, use search.
PS. You have bricked your device. You wont be able to fix without a JTAG repair or mobo replacement. Next time I would suggest using reliable sources for info/instructions and reading correctly before attempting to mess with your device. And again USE SEARCH BEFORE CREATING TOPIC.
It´s dead. But as winter ist coming you can use it as a stylish handwarmer (sorry for you man)

Well as others said, only a new PCB/Logic board, or find a repair center close to you who perform JTAG repair/flash
Best regard

oh dear how have you done that then??? get your hands on a usb jig (google it.) pull battery and put jig in. pop battery back and press power button it will boot into download mode were you can using odin flash another or the same os. i'd look into how you managed to break to volume keys too you will need them uh. Good luck my friend.

Thanks for your good replied, I've just done flash with custom file by odin. Its not physical broken volume keys. like no access volume keys to go on the next step of download mode.
I'd do put jig in, like advised you give, but no result that I hope. give me more please .. thanks

putting the jig in should have put you into download mode... there you need to flash either your rom again or latest stock rom for your device. Have a look in here for some ideas http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458

I tried to reinstall a custom rom but I forgot to install it with CWM so it was installed with the default Android recovery.

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
