Hello,
I dont know IF posting in the right place, but I searched the whole forum for a proper answer how to "unbrick" my boot loop-ed Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830..
Now I've tried installing several firmwares using Odin multi downloader v4.83 but none of them helped me, after all I cant access Recovery Mode!
I can acess Download mode, Emergency Dmod (arm9) and RAMDUMP (arm9)
I have: Android 2.3.3 GingerBread on T-Mobile Carrier (Hungary)!
How did I get here: rooted with SuperOneClick 2.3.2 and used an app for unlock (Galaxy Ace Unlock.apk) witch was probably the main source of the problem... Had no problems until I decided to reboot, rebooted successfully, the problem I had then was No carrier, then tried a second reboot and ever since then I'm stuck into a boot loop with no access whatsoever to RECOVERY MODE.
After installing firmware and waiting the 5 minutes in Odin, my device reboots intro a boot loop after about 2:32 min and nothing can be done furthermore...
I've serched the forum and found that data.rfs is missing in the firmwares... maybe that the source of the problem to... I dont know...
Please help me fix this problem!! Thank you!
p.s: noob alert

You'll just have to keep flashing roms via Download Mode until one works (try flashing the stock rom).
P.S.: Your device has it's own forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1164.

It seems like your motherboard is damaged so you'll have to take it in under warranty.

Thank you for your help until now & Happy New Year! I'd still like to solve this problem somehow before I take it under warranty! Witch I was planning to do tomorrow!
I dont understand how can my motherboard be damaged? If it would be damaged then probably I't would not even start in the 1st place.
I forgot to mention that I had a Movetosd app installed also, but I dont remember the full name of the app...
Any other Ideas?

You have done everything you could and it's still not fixed (even the things other people did when they had the same problem - it worked for them, but not for you), so warranty is the only other way to get it fixed (or at least replaced).

Thank you for the help Theonew! Appreciate! I've taken it into warranty service, hopefully they wont find my device inappropriate for free service, and so I dont have to pay for it...
The only problem is that I have to wait at least 8 days untill I get it back..
Anyway, I've researched this Galaxy Unlock apk. and it seems thats the main source of the problem.
Thanks again!
stuck on lg logo, these are the things i tried and the results i got so if you know where i went wrong please tell me asap thanks in advance,
first i tried hard reset which was volume up+home+power this would just turn on and off the phone,
second i got it to go on s/w upgrade mode which it work then i tried downloading kdz file on it using lg recovery and it would get stuck on 50%while it was updating.
i tried using those kdz files and they just keep crashing i tried it on different computers with different windows.
if you still need more info i could post up a video of the whole thing i just explained.

What events lead up to your bootloop problem?
If you didn't unlock the bootloader you should be able to get LG or your carrier to flash for you.

To tell you the truth I kind of don't know because it was working fine the day before this happens and when the next day came I try to check the time but the phone was dead.....
Then i relized that 2 days before this happen i tried rooting it which i wasint really good at or even knew how to root it so i download a kdz file and im guessing that is what probably caused but what i dont understand is when i try recovering it using lg support and when it gets to the update mode it keeps on stopping at 50% saying there was a problem between the phone and pc I tried using another computer and it told me the same problem.
P.s. I took it to a phone store they said it could fixed for 60 and they even said it just need an new kdz

Maybe try a different .kdz from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107971
Sometimes files fail to download the way they should - maybe you have a corrupted kdz file and a new one will work?
Edit: Or maybe try the official update, you have instructions here: http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGP769BK
P.S. If I was you, I'd simply unlock bootloader, flash a recovery and format from recovery. Then, I'd flash a ROM.

I think the easiest way is to use LG mobile support tool. refer to this member post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456558&highlight=encrypt
- Boot you phone to S/W update mode
- Run LG mobile support tool (B2CAppSetup.exe)
- Select recover you phone from menu and wait for about an hour
- *Dont forget to comment lg server that you add in host file for offline flash
There're also other way to fix it, if you can boot into Stock recovery by Holding vol- + ... (I can't remember ), but this combo may hard reset your phone if you don't have stock recovery. In stock recovery mode you can use adb to push and replace busybox. I don't try this myself but some member unbrick their phone by this method.

You're on JB rom? Try to flash ICS u-boot/x-loader using Lelus tool first and try again. But for LG mobile support tool it should go pass 15% even if you flash it or not. May be you don't install latest lg usb driver?

Hi guys - I've been an intermediate rooter / tinkerer since the (HTC) G1 days, so I'm feeling very noob right now.
i have a stock rooted vs985 (Verizon G3) on 12b with TWRP recovery. I'd found a link that said Cloudy G3 was working with this version, so i tried installing it, unfortunately in the aroma installer I think I selected the int'l variant. Now, all my phone does is go to recovery. I've tried flashing other roms, restoring back ups, wiping everything and doing the same, no luck. I can get to TWRP and download mode, but I don't have a viable computer option to go the way of LG Flash Tool or the like.
Any options I can use ON my phone via TWRP?

Hopefully someone else will correct this if I'm wrong, but without a computer, no - I don't think there's anything you could do to fix that. Maybe you would be able to use a computer at the library, or use someone else's? You really need to flash the 12B KDZ, or 10B KDZ first if you want to root again after.
Sorry for the bad news, hopefully you or someone figures something out.

In the meantime, have you checked to see if it will still go into Download mode? With the phone off, press and hold the power button and while doing that, plug a USB cable that's already plugged into a (PC normally but maybe it can still be tested with a charger adapter?), plug it into the phone and the phone should turn on into Download mode. If so, then hopefully flashing the KDZ will sort it all out.

My God, man, you're a savior. Used Terminal Command in TWRP. Worked like a charm. Granted it put me on 11C, but at least my phone's working. Not sure why I didn't come across this in my 2 days of searching.

Hey guys nougat is available to download for axon 7.
A2017U only, of course...
(so far)
Just restored to stock form LeanageOS to give it a spin. Downloading now. Although I saw it on Reddit first ><
I remember lots of people in the other nougat threads that ripped on ZTE saying there's no way it would be ready.. a little late, but not too late. Good job ZTE.

Don't know yet. A beta user said all they had to do was go into fastboot and unlock... Hopefully the release build is the same.
So... either wait and see, unlock now, or go for it and be the first to try.
Does nougat have the dreaded power management?
Just tested Daydream a bit. The power button is no longer a problem
But I can't find any options to adjust blur or flicker like in LeanageOS. Also, I still get quiet a bit of drifting to the right. Was hoping Official would help with that, as other fixes/solutions had minimal impact for me.
