Ace Totally Bricked - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

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!

My vibrant got bricked ! can`t access to recovery mode

Image that you have a hardware locked vibrant and bricked !!
all the methods that was discussed about getting locked vibrant into recovery mode or even download mode has failed except the adb method which successfully got me to the download mode , I uploaded customized ROM and PIT in odin and that`s all the phone can`t be started not even showing battery bar or recognized by my laptop ..
does that mean it`s dead ??would it be covered by Samsung warranty ...
thanks in advance
as long as you can get to download mode it's never dead.. why would you flash a custom ROM immediately? try flashing a stock pit and tar 1st.. then once your recovered go to custom ROM
yea but my vibrant can`t be detected by PC so adb method wouldn`t work ....
I may try making a homemade JIG hoping it to force download mode ..
I know you said you try everything, but just incase, did you try turning on odin with stock pit and tar in, then plug in the usb, with the battery out. hold down volume + and - and then plug in the battery? Should bring you to "download mode" hit start. It work all the time for me. Sorry if you did try it, but it was just incase you havn't.

[Q] Possible brick

Phone charged up overnight, and after half an hour of listening to music, I noticed the battery had fallen to around 30%. I then rebooted the phone, but it did not boot up. Cannot seem to enter any recovery/download mode.
Rooted running the Omega ROM. Haven't done any modifications to it for a good couple of weeks. Any chance of salvation?
maybe the battery gone bad? did u try with other battery?
Maybe, but I forgot to mention i somehow entered emergency recovery mode earlier (once) which would suggest its not? How do you enter that mode?
i've heard of that emergency recovery mode, but never actually seen it or know exactly howto trigger it. try vol up+vol down+home+power
Thanks that worked.
Now in 'emergency dload mode (arm9 mode)'
Where do I go from here?
so hows that recovery looks like? got any menu selection like normal recovery such as wipe data etc? if got, try to wipe data.
Nope not like a recovery mode. All it is is the Samsung logo with the 'emergency dload mode' text...
frankly we all here doesnt know exactly what the purpose of that emergency recovery mode.
try to connect your phone with odin and see its detected. maybe u can flash stock rom from it.
if it doesnt work either, u can try to force the device into normal download mode and flash with odin. first take off the battery, wait for around 5 seconds, hold the three button combination for download mode and while u still hold those three buttons, reinsert the battery. it should go into download mode and u can flash stock rom via odin.
Thanks for help. Will give it a go, and let you know the results....
If it treat it like a normal download mode, am I right in thinking I just follow the normal procedure for flashing via ODIN?

Odin won't flash phones that in Emergency download mode.
Have you tried normal download mode?
P.S: Emergency Dload mode = Vol Up + Vol Down + Menu + Power
Nomal dload mode: Vol Down + menu + power

Thanks for everyones help.
Managed to get it to the 'downloading' text, where I eventually managed to flash a stock ROM via ODIN, so I'm now unrooted.
Problem still remains where it won't boot up without being plugged into a power source, so taking it back tomorrow. I believe the battery somehow died and may have taken something else down with it...

[Q] My Sgh i777 can't enter in download mode eighter in recovery mode

Well, my phone cant enter in this modes, but the problem its that also cant enter to the system, i can only see the logo of samsung and then the screen turn off, I dont know what to do, because I cant use the odin because I cant enter in download mode, I dont know if there is a button to hard reset the phone. I was trying to put a rom of ics but i believe that the firmware was wrong for my phone. please help me.
Sounds like you flashed something in Odin that was not for your phone. You probably need to get it J-tagged to get it fixed. Check out mobiletechvideos.com
It's like $50 dollars for the service, they'll J-tag your phone and flash the correct bootloader.

Since the phone will turn on, and initiate the boot process, it should be able to recover it yourself. Jtag is for true hard bricks, which your phone is NOT.
Please give a full description of what led up to your problem. What firmware was on the phone before, what did you attempt to flash, and anything that you can think of that would provide any additional information for trouble shooting. Also, a link to the firmware you tried to flash.

To get the SGH-I777 into download mode, continuously hold down both volume buttons (but not the power button) while plugging in the usb cable.

Nobody knows what can I do in that moment?
I put my i777 on download mode by removing the battery and putting it back. Hold the volume button down and connect the USB charger wait for the buttons to flash and disconnect the charger while holding the volume down button. If that doesn't work nothing will.

Try this:
Pull the battery and leave it out.
Hold down volume button and plug in the USB cable. (PC will supply the power)
This should boot the phone into download mode.
If the above works to get into download mode, do the following:
Download the I777 secondary bootloader .tar from the Download Repository. See the link in my signature.
Unplug the phone (to shut off)
Open Odin v1.85 on screen of pc.
Enter download mode as above.
When connected put the secondary bootloader in the PDA slot in Odin and flash.

I just recently got my SGS2 (i777) and decided to root it. Unfortunately I got the root from another site (dumb move) and today the phone went into a reboot loop. I can connect it and get it into download mode, but everytime I try to flash back to the stock rom, or anything else (bootloader) Odin says connection failed, unable to open COM Port. I know it connects because it installs the drivers for the phone. Can someone MUCH smarter that me assist with this one?

can you interrupt the bootloop by trying to get to recovery (holding VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER until recovery menu appears) and then go to backup-restore and restore a backup? That's what I would try. IF that does not work, I would reinstall the drivers for andoid on your pc --even though you had them working (presumably) once before. After reinstalling the drivers then odin should (may!) see the phone and work.
good luck

[Q] [SOLVED] Odin wont recognize my device unless it is powered on?

I am running stock 2.1 Eclair. My kernel is JFD. I am rooted. Please help.
You can put your phone in download mode, then you can use Odin. Make sure your phone is off, then press the volume button + and - at the same time, connect your phone via usb, then your phone should be in download mode and Odin should recognize your phone.
with your Girlfriend? Tech info please...
Haha I know that.
I may be misunderstanding the whole point of this thread, but WHY would Odin, or the PC, or any other Earthly technology recognize your device if it was powered OFF?
You want a connection it better have juice.
I meant in download mode sorry... lol

Yes, you must be in download mode. That's the phone state Odin uses to communicate with your device.
With all sincerity, there many, many guides that I would check, These threads are difficult,if we dont know your problem, level of expertise, or intentions,...good peeps that can help.
Alright... Thanks anyway guys, I appreciate it.
Any ideas where to check for help?
Here is fine, I think we are all confused. I thought the question was: Does my phone need to be in Download Mode to be recognized by Odin?
The answer to that is: yes.
Is there another question? This is the right place, fire away friend.
whats going on i guess its not working for you yet i see ....what is it that you are trying to do you lost me now lol.....if your rooted mate then you should have the update.zip file to install CWM recovery on your SD then install ROM manager search around for it people say its not in the play store but its all the way at the bottom if you search ROOT install the app and follow the onscreen to install the recovery mod and then you should be good to go on flashing turn your phone off and and hold all 3 buttons to turn it back on as soon as you see the logo pop up let go of the power button and you should be in your recovery then install zip from SD send PM if your lost
Haha sorry for not making that clear. I went into download mode and it didn't recognize it. I knew it had to be in download mode. I ended up restarting my computer and plugged it into a USB 3.0 instead of a 2.0 port and it worked just fine... Thanks anyways for trying to help.
Haha thanks I had CWM installed, I just needed to restart my PC and plug the cable into a USB 3.0 instead of a 2.0...

[Q] Galaxy S II GT-9100 shows: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue after unrooting.

Hello everybody,
About 2 months ago I rooted my Galaxy S II and flashed the Resurrection Remix Jelly Bean ROM v3.0.6 for Galaxy S2 i9100 with a Siyah kernel. (As I am new to this forum I can't post links, but I got it from Galaxys2root . com
But yesterday I encountered an issue and my phone was shutting down constantly, so I decided to unroot it/flash back to stock ICS firmware.
I used galaxys2root . com(galaxy s2 unroot) too to try unrooting it .
I used Odin3 v1.85 to flash the stock firmware but it just stopped at about 75% (stupid as I am I forgot to write down the error.)
CWM was installed with the root but I don't have it anymore so I can't use recovery to use a backup (which I had made) and when I got in download mode in the top left it says Product Name:GT-9100
Custom Binary Download: Yes (2 counts)
Current Binary: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
Also my PC doesn't recognize my phone in Odin, even when reinstalling Samsung Kies.
When I boot my phone it now says: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
But as Kies doesn't work, it won't even start on my PC, I don't know how to fix my phone,
The main problem is that Odin does not recognize the phone even when reinstalling drivers and Kies, with Odin working I could flash the CF-Root or would that be dumb to do?
Now the question: How can I get my phone back to work?
Thanks.
click on volume up + home key + power to boot into recovery and then do a factory reset, after reset cleck go back, then reboot phone.
If it is a software issue, your phone should work.

Well, I tried that but the message keeps showing up, I can only reach download mode. It looks like the root is gone?
Also, do you mean recovery like CWM Recovery or is there a standard recovery on the S II?
there is a standard recovery on the phone which is replaced when rooted to a newer version.
If something has happen to the root, it should default back to recovery 3e that comes with the phone.
okay I am going to try the following: Removing battery, put it back in, Volume up+Home button+Power button and I'll see what happens.

Still getting the same error message..
Would it work if I use a .PIT file and check re-partition in Odin? (if i get Odin to recognize the phone, maybe on another pc)
You might want to try all pc's usb ports, the usb cable and also download an older/newer Odin version.
If non of the above works, it's time for you to try another PC.
PS: you did read this, right?
ok just got back from school, I would try it now if my telephone would work.
problems seem to have got worse, I charged it the whole night, atleast, I thought i did. I just put it in download mode when it gives me the message:
"Load Battery!! Can't download!!" do you know how I can make this work?
So at this point my main problem ,besides the battery, is that I can't get Odin to detect my phone but I will try it on another computer.
take bat off and reinsert it.
I don't know what to put here...any ideas?
well, I don't know if it matters but my phone doesn't display the charging screen. Is that a problem?
hum....yeah.
I don't know what to put here...any ideas?
and it doesn't say "load battery" it says "low battery" But that is almost the same
I don't think so....never heard that expression before.
I don't know what to put here...any ideas?
---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ----------
charge your bat in another device, or manually.
I don't know what to put here...any ideas?
I will charge it first, and use another phone, and then try the guide you linked to and then report to you.
tried it on another pc and it still doesn't work, Odin3-v1.85 does not detect my phone. If it would I could get it back to work but without Odin the only option I can think of is sending it back to Samsung, without warranty, and paying it myself. Or are there more ways to get Odin to detect it, or are there other tools like odin?
Do all Checklist:
Reinstall PC drivers
Charge your phone, just plug it in a charger atleast 5 hours.
Boot to recovery.

ok I will try that, I'm going to charge it now. Btw how do you reinstall PC-drivers? Reinstalling Kies or the Samsung Drivers?

Should I do this while it is in download mode?
I will try to explain what happened: I was flashing the stock ICS firmware, it was doing the FACTORYFS (don't know if it is a file) when it suddenly failed, but Odin still detected my phone. I retried it and that probably made it worse because after that Odin didn't detect my phone anymore. And that is the main problem
