I usually work with iPhones so Android phones are a new field for me...
I have a friend who rooted his Samsung Galaxy Ace and then installed Android 2.3.4 but he decided to install something as he says that "doubles the ram memory of the device" well as soon as he installed this the phone immediatelly got bricked.
I have it here in my hands and I tried entering RECOVERY, DOWNLOAD mode and it was impossible.
So I tried pressing all the button (Vol+,Vol-, Home and Power) and the device was USB recognized by my PC,installed its own drivers but nothing showed up on the screen. Then I pressed Home and Power and USB sound ran again and from there on the phone does not react to any combination of buttons, taking out the battery or anything and the PC does not see it anymore.
I tried to be as specific as possible cause I really want to help this guy... So If anyone knows what are the possible solutions besides "take it to samsung care center" I'd really appreciate it!
Thansk!
Install KIES from Samsung so you have the drivers for the phone.
Install ODIN and run on your pc so you can flash a stock ROM (you don't need to have KIES running at the same time)
Take the battery out of the phone and connect it to the pc with ODIN running via USB.
If ODIN detects the phone put the battery back in and now you can flash with a stock rom and your phone will now work.
There are instructions on this forum where to find ODIN and how to load a ROM into it ready to flash.
have u tried the USB Jig?

I'd save that for plan B, If it's showing up on a PC it's not bricked.
Bricked = no power, no response, no detect by pc no nothing.

But Can I download any ODIN? Because I've seen through the forum that there are several ODINs for different Samsung Models... besides there are several ODIN versions! So which one do I need to download? Please a little help here cause in the Android field I'm still a noob!
Also as I told you, the first time the PC recognized the phone when I pressed ALL the buttons... but afterwards it does not recognize it anymore... does it have to do anything with that KIES you are just telling me about? Also which KIES should I download?
Thansk!
To me it doesnt wounds like its "Totally Bricked", take the battery out and leave if there for awhile, come back later on and see if you can enter download mode.
If you want you drivers to be installed correctly, download the KIES (2.1 i guess?) and get ODIN to reflash it.
we have a how to unbrick thread ....try d steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071970

Ok... this is as far as I have come.... The guide for unbricking seems good, there is only one problem. I've already Loaded ODIN with the firmware files and boot, and all those files. But I can NOT, I repeat I can NOT enter DOWNLOAD MODE (Vol-,Home, Power Buttons). I can only enter EMERGENCY DOWNLOAD MODE (Vol+,Vol-, Home and Power Buttons) and the good news is that ODIN is ABLE to recognize it, BUT as soon as I hit star it stays stuck at "<1> setup connection..." Well before you start saying to search forum for solutions, well I did, and I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188378
The guy had this same problem and he realized his problem was that he was entering EMERGENCY DOWNLOAD MODE rather than DOWNLOAD MODE. BUT I can NOT enter DOWNLOAD MODE the phone just doesn't enter this mode, only the EMERGENCY DOWNLOAD MODE so what can I do to make ODIN flash my phone!!????? Please help!!

USB Jig , and stop posting the same question twice
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
Ok So I finally did it. Bought the USB Jig! From here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-I910...90122901388427
And Guess What! IT DID NOT WORK!!!
This was my last resort and now I don't know what to do! But pay attention the funny thing, AS I mentioned earlier in ALL my posts! Is that the phone is recognized by ODIN but only in EMERGENCY DOWNLOAD MODE (It even says "COM PORT 18") But in this mode ODIN doesn't flash it, I needed DOWNLOAD MODE which was the reason why I bought the USB JIG, but it is not working! Is there a some kind of workaround to get the JIG working? PLEASE I REALLY REALLY need help!!!
Thanks!

Hi guys.
Today i was trying to configure supersu, and i check one option that restarts my phone to clockwork mod, and everytime i try to boot, it goes to CWM, and not to the OS. I've tryed to flash other rom's but keeps going to CWM screen. I was trying to flash CWM via odin again, but i haven't used my phone in my new notebook, so i haven't the kies and samsung drivers, because of that, i think odin isnt recognizing the phone.
I install kies, install samsung drivers, but still odin don't recognize my phone.
The phone does not go to download mode too, only by CWM option.
Can someone help me?
just Flash CWM in odin again.
And never use shortcuts to Recovery mode again...
Edit: You can't go download mode and your pc don't recognize the phone? damn, i can't help, sorry

Finally, after many hours, i've succeed!
Had to uninstall samsung drivers, kies, reboot my windows, install again only samsung drivers, and put in to download mode directly, not selecting in the CWM.
After this odin recognize the phone and i was able to install again CWM, and the rom.
And i discovered what happened to my phone brick. When i updated supersu and actived pro version, was showed for me some update option, and i clicked in CWM instead normal.

To put your device in download mode, press Volume Down And Home And Power Button all together and when it vibrates release
Power Button but keep pressing left ones. You should have a triangle with an android janitor while it's saying downloading ..
download only samsing driver and then flash the cwm file using odin and this time check the auto reboot option..
for going in download mode:
press and hold volume down key+power+home and when phone vibrated release the power button but keep on holding the home button and volume down button..you will b in download mode..
flash cwm with auto boot option ticked problem solved, if it fails then re flash ROM.
Hi all,
I have a major problem with a friends Galaxy S 2 GT-i9100, he flashed a cyanogen custom rom and tried to uprade it but somewhere in the process the phone just died and no the phone in not entering recovery mode and whn we plug it in to the computer it is not even recognized as a usb device, so we can't even try and re-flash it.
Can someone please tell me, how can I fix / recover his phone so it would just turn back on ?

Can your friends phone go into download mode (volume down, home button, power button)? If it can, you will need to flash back to stock rom by using odin.
It's complicated

No, in download mode. Connect your phone to PC when phone is on download mode then see if device manager picks it up.

can you enter download mode ?
if you can just flash kdz with a normal way or if you don't have any data to loose with CSE way
Don't worry, it's a soft brick.
Get the phone in download mode and flash a kdz for your device.
You may have to do a factory reset, but don't until you have to.

Plug a USB to a PC with LG 's drivers installed, hold Vol- on your device and plug the other end of the USB cable to your device.
(That's probably it, I can't remember for sure. If it's not, then Google it)

I've been flashing my LG G2 MINI (D620K) since last month and the problem doesn't seem to go away. I flashed, it works for a few weeks but then my phone just reset itself and the logo stucks again. I was hoping that you happen to know a solution
Hello all,
I am experiencing a boot error telling me to using the Verizon Software Repair Assistant and that it is experiencing an "Authentication Fail #9 [Modified].
Can someone link to the repair tool? I cannot get the assistant now that the phone refuses to boot. Or if someone has a different solution they are welcome to offer it.
Much thanks.
Curious as to what what system you are using, windows 7,8,or 10?

Windows 7. I should add that it may be due to something external from the root. After rooting I installed a few things, rebooted, then a few more things were installed, and rebooted and then this came up. It may be after installing and setting up Chainfire's Liveboot app.
I am in the same boat. Stuck on "Start Up Failed". Computer will not recognize the phone. I dont know what to do. My Verizon Repair Assistant is from my Galaxy S6 Edge & doesnt recognize my LG V10. Any suggestions or assistance would greatly be appreciated.

Otherwise you should be able to boot into download mode and use LGUP with a .KDZ file to restore the phone back to factory.

Power off your phone. Then hold down the Volume up button and plug your phone into the PC and the phone will boot into Download Mode. You can't do it from recovery.
Okay. Got it. It was just being a little finicky. Thanks.
