My apologies if this post is already started elsewhere (please guide me there if you can), but it seem the search is not possible today...
I rooted my brand new Vodafone Smart 2 and in order to free some memory I was moving some files from internal to SD card. Noticing a folder in the root called custpack (and thinking it was the specific folder Vodafone used for its teaking) I wanted to play around with it on my computer, but instead of copying it to SD card, I MOVED it... :0 At the first command the screen turned gray and the phone froze. I can turn it off now only by removing the battery. When it starts it can't go pass the android logo (boot image) and the screen turns gray. I know that Power button and Volume Down yield to Recovery menu, but my ROM is branded Vodafone Albania and they have removed that option. All I get is the option for factory reset (or I think that is what "All you data will be lost, Yes/No" means). Accepting that does restart the phone but still the same logo and gray screen afterwards.
Unfortunately, I can't install from SD due to this branded Vodafone AL ROM I have, and adb device command at the command prompt (DOS) does not recognize the phone (it did recognize before as I have the drivers loaded and Android SDK Tools).
Can someone help me either bringing the Recovery option to install from SD so I can try a complete flash of the original, or if there is any way I can have the adb recognise the device, or if there is any other way. I found a user here (Voda_Smart_2) that seemed to have the same problem and someone had said could help but only through PM. I tried to reply the thread so I could present my case, but as a newly registered I was not allowed to post on developers forums.
PLEASE HELP ME - For someone who uses a low-end phone like Vodafone Smart II option to buy a new one after ruining a new one is not possible....

Thank you for interest and concern for my situation! I know very well roeddie custom rom for VS2. I have actually installed version 0.9.1 as well as version 0.9.9 to some friends. I have the undestanding that the AIO he uses requires that the phone be recognized by the PC (adb devices does not list anything in my case). However, I'll give it a try and let this forum know if roeddie AIO flasher (OTA update 3) does install without the need for PC to recognize the android phone.
Thanks,
Don

Yes, I still have a problem with my VS2/V860 - stuck at boot logo without fastboot. I can't seem to find a way how to get it recognized. Can you help me? It would be really helpful since now my brother has the same problem after trying to flash latest roeddie mod (June 1, 2013).

Thanks for your consideration! My problem is that my phone is not recognized in fastboot mode by the computer. I have installed Android SDK and updated regularly. Without fastboot (see bullet no. four following your link) I can not do anything Alberto96 suggest.
Any other insight?

tnx in advance!
Vodafone Smart 2 device can't start code 10 error
I have the same problem any help..?
dead battery is the answer
well guys if anyone of you still use this device; a possible fault that causes infinite boot logo screen is dead battery. Actually the controller board of the battery gets shorted causing a stable 1.7v output instead of 3.8~4.2v and refuses to charge even pushing power to it from an external power supply. Thats why the phone stucks on logo; it is the same reaction to connecting the phone to the charger without a battery... what you have to do is to find a used or a new battery (if it's still worth to do so...)

Thanks for the suggestion! It is not a problem of battery, as I have tried with two other batteries from friends' V860. Plus, if it is a board circuit then it does not matter if the we change the battery, unless with 'board' you mean the way batteries are connected inside the battery pack.
Thanks once again! Your answer is much appreciated! Keep them coming if you think about something else. I still have this phone, just for because I like to know what was the problem or how to overcomes such situations in the future.
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)

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.
Hi all, I have tried to unlock my galaxy S3 gt i 9300, which is locked to O2 UK. I live in Ireland and bought the phone from a guy on e bay. I got the unlock code from two different sources and both are the same, but neither will unlock the phone, I have tried the unfreeze code too but it gets me nowhere. Entering the keyboard codes does not work either. The firmware baseband version which is on the phone at present is I9300XXUGMK6, the build number is JSS15J.I9300XXUGNA5, I feel that if I can get the phone back to it's original O2 UK firmware then I might be able to unlock the thing. My problem is that I have found I9300XXALE8_I9300O2UALE5_O2U to be the original firmware, but the link to it from every site is dead and I cannot download it, all the links were to hotfile and we all know what became of it. If anyone has any other suggestions as to how I might unlock my phone then I would be more than happy to try them.
Best wishes Wez
Flash the latest o2u, root it with cf autoroot, nvdata unlock method. Do not attempt to go back from 4.3 as you will half cabbage your phone. The efs changed.

Many thanks I will try that now and let you know how I get on, though the guy I got the second code from tells me the phone should not be rooted, if it is he says that the code will not work. But anything is worth a try so I will try it before I root the phone.
Thanks again best wishes Wez

At the risk of sound stupid, I am going to ask one question, where do I find said latest stock ROM for my O2 UK S3, because all the ones I find are not on any link that works, they nearly all try to send me to hotfile, would seem that nobody has taken the trouble to put up any mirror download links, which has left me very frustrated. Hope someone can please point me in the right direction, because I have a phone which is of no use to me.
Best wishes and good luck Wez

Samsung updates are always on slow hosts. It costs a lot of money to hire server space and free hosts that do over a Gb is as rare as hens teeth.. how did you get on?

Many thanks to all who helped with my problem, I managed to get my s3 unlocked, just need to get it rooted now and get rid of the stupid thing keeps going to safe mode when booted normally, but if I boot whilst holding the home key (the middle one at the bottom) then the phone will try to boot into download mode, I then hit the volume down button and hole the home key again, this time the phone reboots itself and will boot into a non safe mode. Though this is not ideal and someone needs to find a cure for this, it is better than nothing. Tried to flash the resurrection remix ROM, but it stopped when a bit was done and failed will try some other custom ROM when I get the chance, at the moment my phone is keeping going back to the recovery screen.
Will let you know what happens, best wishes Wez

To get out of the recovery boot lock I had to leave the phone with the battery out of it for about 5 minutes, I was then able to get into download mode, by booting with the volumes down and home buttons held. I then used Odin to reflash the stock firmware again, which it did OK.Then I needed to root the phone again so I did that. I then downloaded the Android Revolution DH-SGS3, moved it to the external SD card, rebooted into recovery and flashed it to the phone, but again the phone went into it's crazy recovery boot loop, at the moment I have the battery out of kit and will try replacing it now and booting into the new ROM. It appears to be booting into the rom now, it has been on the Samsung screen for a while now and I am hoping that it will boot into the rom given a little time, this being it's first boot. OK all booted up OK, the only problem that remains is the bleeding thing booting into safe mode, but lots of people have got that.
Happy days, best wishes Wez
I have never encountered that issue before. When exactly did the boot issue start?
Glad you got this far!.

The boot issue started after I had tried to flash with another rim, which I feel was not fully downloaded, at any rate the flash was abandoned and when I went back through the options and hit the reboot now, it went into the loop. I had to remove the battery and leave it out for about 5 minutes, less might have done, when I reinstalled the battery, I went into download and using Odin flashed the phone with a stock rom and rooted it, then I flashed the android revelation rom, the phone again got stuck on the loop, this time I took the battery out the phone and left it, again for about 5 minutes, then replaced the battery and hit the power button and the phone booted into the rom, after a few minutes. I have been using this rom for a while now, but have noticed that for some reason the sound, for everything goes of completely, nit found a cure for that yet, but I am downloading the Echoe rom now, it will soon be finished, and I am going to flash it as soon as I can. I have the Echoe rom on my SGS4 and like it very much. I shall let you know if I have the same problem with this rom, when I flash it, the loop that is.

The Echoe ROM flashed without any further loop and to my surprise the phone did not boot into safe mode, so an improvement there, with both. But the sound is still a problem. I have since the first boot had to reboot several times and the damned thing is back to the bloody safe mode. To get round it now I have to hold the volume down, the home and power keys, to take me to the screen for download, when there I push the volume down and the phone goes to reboot, in it's own, while it is doing that I hold the home button, the phones boots without going into safe mode. I have tried to do it the way I was before, but it is not working that way now, so got to go down the way of booting into the download screen, but at least it works.
Very best wishes and good luck Wez
Interesting.. it would seem that the issue lies with custom roms. Which recovery are you using? Cwm 6032 is a good recovery to start with, moving on to 6047. I had issues with twrp.

Please be patient,& Gentle with me, I'm new here,,, (TY) Hi, I have a Pantech P9060 (old I know ) Android 2.3.4 , Gingerbread( Stock Rom). It's rooted. It will turn on, load in the boot screen- and stop there, and if I touch the power/menu keys, it will start the loop acting boot process, without re-starting the phone , just continuous boot screen. I have changed the boot screen probably 3/4 times from the original AT&T screen using Jimmy Rummel apps, Rom Installer . I've tried returning back from backup, Titanium Pro, I backed up to google drive as well, but regardless I can't seem to reset to factory( which I've done before), or even update, Nothing.. It's so frustrating. I've searched these forums inside out for a solution as to not bother you guys with my old phone issues, but I have to admit, I need help with this. I don't think it's hard bricked, I'm thinking I may have flashed the wrong Rom( im not sure though) trying to upgrade from 2.3.4 .. Not positive though. I sure hope there's someone to help me here, It wont connect to the PC syncing, Pantech PC Suite, yet my pc shows the phone in Device Manager and Computer. So I'm hoping I've done something simple, :/ stupid,,but simple. Anyone help me out ? Rooted Apps & System info/apps on my phone are in a File Manager > xposed, bootmanager, clockworkmod, rom mod installer pro, Titanium Pro, and others...Can it someway be just flashed to a new rom of some version? :crying: Thanks in advance.......

Don't think that there are any custom updates. I found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IOQJJCSKC4 - Sorry it's not in English, but it's the only thing I found that actually had a download of the rom. Even Pantech doesn't seem to have anything besides the manual and drivers for it.

If the device powers up but is not able to boot into the operating system, that is referred to as a soft brick.

Hi there flint, where did you get the ROM? And is it the European version? Please I beg you I need a link to download it as I got an ROM from the needrom website and it is the Chinese version which in turn messed up my camera software and no matter how many times I reinstall or clear data/cache or factory reset it, it just doesn't seem to work, even tried different galleries and cameras and moved them into /system/data. I was not being smart and did not do a backup and now I'm stuck with this issue. Please help.

Hi where did you buy your handset?.
Mine was from China hence it did work
Did you keep any screenshots to external sd card from when your handset was working (about phone build number etc ) page or at least did you keep a note of these details ?
