Hi everyone
I have here a Galaxy Ace S5830B that goes into infinite loop when I try to boot it. And I can't flash via Odin because it won't go into download mode.
Volume up + volume down + power button combination gives me a "LK (Little Kernel) ver 9 sep 2011" message. PC won't recognize.
Pressing home+ vol up + vol down + power shows "Emergency Dload Mode (ARM9 mode)". When I connect to the PC with USB, Odin recognizes it, but "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)" message is shown after flash procedure, probably because it should have been done in download mode.
Taking off the battery then pressing vol down + Home + power and putting the battery back on gives me a "Downloading..." message in yellow and nothing else, not the download mode. Odin can't recognize in this case.
So I tried a jig usb made with 300K resistor. It gave me a message "mdl factory download mode". Once again, Odin couldn't find it when connected via USB.
Samsung 300K tool via windows also couldn't be used because phone is not recognized in any of the modes I described above, but it guess it would also give me the mdl factory message.
Also tried suggestions in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697692 and it didn't work out.
Some threads suggest trying to boot into download mode through adb. But I'm not able to enable USB debugging because of the boot loop.
Can anyone give me an idea to save this phone, please? Thank you so much.

Here is a couple of methods to get into download mode.
Once you get to download mode, follow the directions later in my post...
First Method
1) Pull the battery, sim card, and sd card.
2) Reinsert battery but do not press any buttons.
3) Plug into usb that is connected to your computer. If something shows up on the screen (charging logo) then you should be golden.
4) Hold the vol up, vol down, and power until the screen comes on, immediately release the power button but not the other two. You should be in dl mode.
Second Method
1) Another method that seems to work for some people is to pull the battery, sim, sd card.
2) Reinsert battery and hold both volume buttons but do not press power button.
3) Then plug in usb. The phone should boot into download.
Third Method
1) You will need the samsung ADB drivers installed for your phone and ADB. Samsung Drivers for 32 bit Windows: http:// files.androidspin.com/downl...SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_ Mobile_Phones_x86.exe
or here: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/ MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml
Samsung Drivers for 64 bit Windows: http:// files.androidspin.com/downl...ng/vibrant/& file=usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip
or here: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/ MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml
2) Remove sim card and sd-card. Remove the battery.
3) Hold buttons vol up, vol down, and power.
4) While holding down those 3 buttons put the battery back in and keep holding all 3 buttons until the vibrant disappears and reappears. Once it reappears, release all 3 buttons.
5) Now connect your phone to your pc via USB cable.
6) Open a cmd prompt and navigate to the folder with ADB and type "ADB REBOOT DOWNLOAD" caps are not necessary.
7) Your phone will reboot into the download mode.
Once in download mode
Download the files in the linked thread and follow the directions there or the ones below.
Files Needed Available Here (pit and pda): http:/ /forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php? t=734475
Odin v1.7 Available Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821625
1) Open Odin and verify that one of the Com ports shows a device connected. If it doesn't try using a different usb port.
2) Load the .pit and pda files. It should be pretty obvious how to do that once you are in Odin.
3) Make sure that the option to partition is unchecked. The other two options should be checked.
4) Hit start and wait.
5) Your phone will restart when Odin is done and you will be good to go.
Also, you might have to build the usb jig. It is guaranteed to get you into download mode. Here is a link to that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ showthread.php?t=819551

when i press an "up" button.. it functions as a down button ..
and a down button as an up button..
and power button is not working..
ive been trying to get into a download mode
but when I do a "press up and downbutton +plug usb + plug a battery" trick to get into the download mode
the recovery mode screen automatically appears...
so stressed now..
I would be greatly appreciated if anyone can help me out
All of this and more can be found in the Noob Guide in the general section op by S15274N
You are in recovery mode if it says "2E" or "3E" recovery you should be able to get into download mode and then you can flash back into stock.
To get to download mode plug in you usb into the computer first. then, hold the volume keys both down then plug into the phone (while it is showing the recovery mode, in other words it is still on) if it does not work, then pull out then try again a couple of times When you plug it in leave for 2-3 secs. There are other methods in the noob guide to try as well. If this does not work or you can't get it Then, just buy a Jig from the xda member connextion2005 (mobilevideotech.com I think). they are 8 bucks and all you do in just plug it in and it will bring up the download mode. From there you can do this:
Get the Odin program 1.7 or newer, get the Stock 2.1 Tar file, get the 512pit file
You can find these in the general forum in the thread called Noob guide
then:
Open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode. connect it to the computer it will recognize might say com8 or some other number
Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
You want to check the 're-partition' box.
Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
Then, root the phone and you can flash your new Rom.
Use the super oneclick method it is easier to root then download Rom manager and now you can flash any rom you want
This is solvable good luck

Lets do this one
dont take the battery out
just press down vol and up vol without power and plug the usb
tell me if it worked
NO,, It didn't work..
the problem is that the recovery mode appears instead as soon as i plug the usb..
even if i tried the old method I've been using for..(this one used to always work but not anymore..)
1. Remove SD and SIM card
2. Remove battery
3. plug the phone into USB
4. hold down vol-up and vol-down
5. Pop the battery back in while holding vol buttons
This may work if not.............
Just get the jig it works and will solve this problem

When I try to get to download mode by pressing up and down volume buttons and plug the cable in, the charging screen pop up but not download mode. I can get into rocovery mode. That's really weird. What should I do

Hello, all.
I have a tricky problem here.
Let me tell the background of the problem first.
Basically, I flashed cf-autoroot using odin on my phone and it restarted all perfectly, then I restarted it to download mode using pc command "adb reboot download" since trying from my phone always gets stucked on download mode warning screen, PRESSING VOL UP DOES NOTHING.... When I reached download mode, I FLASHED TWRP V2.8.0 using ODIN, it went directly to home screen not recovery, then I powered it down and restarted it to recovery mode and since then its stuck on Samsung boot logo with 'recovery not seandroid enforcing screen' . I tried to boot into download mode using VOL DOWN + POWER KEY since my HOME BUTTON IS FAULTY AND DOESNT WORK. So, I get to the download mode warning screen, BUT pressing volume up OR volume down does nothing and I have to keep POWER + VOL DOWN pressed for about 10 seconds again to come to download mode warning screen. How can I go to download mode when I cant access the TWRP recovery and also have A NON-WORKING home button .
URGENT HELP NEEDED, PLEASE.
Hello,
as I wrote in this (now locked) thread, I installed Superior OS and got stuck in bootloop. I get "Galaxy S9+" screen followed by system bootanimation, which repeats itself indefinitely. It doesn't restart by itself, it just boots endlessly.
The problem here is that I can't access recovery or even download mode. I tried to restart (power + volume down) and then quickly press combination to access recovery or download mode. No luck. I couldn't even turn the damn phone off. I just kept restarting.
So I let it drain the battery hoping I could then power the phone on with correct key combination. I tried holding bixby button + volume down while inserting USB. It just started booting up to system with boot animation. I tried holding bixby + volume up, or even power + bixby + volume down. No luck either.
I got correct USB drivers installed, as I flashed the phone with Odin in the past. Odin recognizes phone while it sits on boot animation, but it won't start flashing. ADB or fastboot do not work on bootanimation, as the ROM is freshly installed. I presume it has ADB turned off by default...
I'll be grateful for any ideas and suggestions.
No escape , man. I tried all ( check this rom for galaxy note 9 )
Nice...
I went to service center, they said they can fix it for me. 40 euros for reflash (download mode isn't necessary), 100 euros for complete unbrick. I hope the unbrick isn't necessary and the bootloader is intact. I'll post with update.
