Bricked phone? - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

I recently tried to flash myth's ROM on my Galaxy Ace. After flashing was completed, I rebooted the phone but it was stuck on the very first boot screen that has SAMSUNG and www.samsung.com written under it. I can't access recovery but I can access download. I tried reflashing CWM, I get PASS in ODIN but still can't boot into recovery. Any ideas?

Press the following buttons
Power key+home key
Kudos you reached to recovery

Need assistance fixing a probable brick. T959 Vibrant

my phone originally started out with the stock 2.1update 1 firmware, t959ujfd...
when i turn on (off then on) the phone it would boot to a "Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000" logo, then switch to a "Vibrant Samsung" logo.
when i received my phone this was how it booted..
Later, i rooted the phone, and flashed clockwork mod recovery.. I made a CWM recovery back up here..
After creating the backup, i put CM10 on to the internal sdcard and installed it via CWM. During the
installation, it rebooted into the newer version of CWM recovery. After choosing "reboot device", my vibrant
would first load the "Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000" logo, then the Cyanogen mod logo. but then the screen would
flash, and the cyanogen mod logo would appear again. Shortly it dumps me right back at the new version of CWM recovery..
At this point, i thought i flashed CM 10 incorrectly, so from the CMW recovery, i restored that first back up. after restoring that
back up, my phone no longer boots.. Right now if i leave the batter in and plug in a USB, the circular spinny charging icon appears,
then freezes (it doesnt spin).. i can turn on the phone, but it stays stuck at the "Galaxy S GT-I9000" logo.. I cant boot into recovery.
so i read a bunch of other threads about perhaps when ibought the phone, it had a GB bootloader. and i have tried ways to get my vibrant
into download mode.. which unfortunately i havent.. So i can't use Odin and flash back to stock.. Hopefully you guys can help me get back to stock so i can at least use my phone and/or start over installing CM10..
Note: i did not install/flash anything else other than CM10. i did not use custom kernels, or install Google Apps etc..
Edit: Ok, now i can reliably get into download mode. for some reason, the physical button combinations were wrong for my vibrant.. instead of the
usual 3 button combo, my download mode was volume up + power.. this was also the reason why i had a hard time getting into recovery since it was
volume down + power.. It seems as if, my boot loader was changed when i bought the phone..
That's the combo I use I don't have boot loaders. Son if that worked did you get it fixed with Odin or heimdall

All you had to do is flash cm10 again. Most of the times you have to flash jb roms more than once because of the different cwm versions . Make sure you read the entire thread before taking action, I'm sure it said that somewhere but anyway Gb bootloaders are much more convenient so that's a plus. Just flash back to stock with Odin or if you still want cm10 then boot into recovery and flash again.

[Q] Bricked P7510 won't boot after stock reinstall

Hello,
My galaxy tab 10.1 P7510 is dead.
I used ODIN to put stock 4.0.4 (P7510UELPL) on it.
Everything goes well and I get green PASS! icon.
Now my system reboots to the Battery logo. but stays stuck here.
I can hold power button/volume-down to go back to download mode or recovery mode. I did factory reset and wiped cache.
Still it goes to battery logo after reboot.
Is my battery dead or my whole tablet?
Thanks for any help

Reflash via odin, as long as you can get in recovery/download you're safe

I tried that several times with 4.0.4 USA. But no luck.
I am now downloading another region to see if it was the file that was the problem. Although it flashed ok.

OK. I tried several pc's win7 32 and 64-bit. No luck
several versions of ODIN. Noluck
I can boot in download mode. I restored several different versions of p7510 firmware.
Odin says everything is ok. "pass"
But once I reboot I get the samsung logo and immediately afterwards the 2inch battery logo in the middle of the screen and nothing else.
I can press the power button and go back to recovery/download mode but same error.
If I reboot and go to recovery and wipe data and reset it boot up to the logo with padlock icon on the bottom and nothing else.
Anyone seen this problem?
Same but no recovery
I have the same problem (stuck at boot screen). I can get to Odin mode but can't boot into recovery. When I choose it from the download menu instead of Odin mode, the tab just goes blank. I even used Odin to flash anew Recovery (CWM). No luck. Any ideas?

[Q] I-9300 bootloop and no recovery

Hello,
I have a S3 which is stuck in a bootloop at the samsung logo.
when i turn it on it shows the logo for some seconds then the screen goes black and the logo re-appears.
i can not boot into recovery mode, but download mode is working without a problem every time.
i tried flashing stock firmwares with odin and also tried kies emergency firmware recovery. the flashing always went without any problem, but it had effect. whatever i try, i am never able to boot into recovery and still stuck in the bootloop.
in some tries after flashing the screen just shows the samsung logo forever, but after rebooting it once it then is stuck in a bootloop again (shows the logo - screen goes black - shows the logo...)
i also tried flashing TWRP and CWM via odin, but again i can never boot into recovery mode.
what should i try next?
thx alot for any helpful comment

You can Try this:
1.) Pull out battery
2.) Put it in again
3.) Press Vol up + home + power
4.) When the Samsung Logo appears let it off
I think you press the Buttons too long.
I had the same problem!

i really tried everything, it's not working. btw with i am stuck at the very first image, where it says "samsung Galaxy sII GT-I9300".
i dont think it's just the way i press the buttons because i can reach it on my s1 and s2 without a problem, it's just not working on this device.
could some setting like "nand erase all" in odin help? in other threads there is sometimes mentioned that the internal file system might be screwed up and in those cases a simple odin reflash does not help anymore...
Nand erase will usually hard brick it. Try the rescue firmware from general forum, sticky thread. Follow the guide exactly as it includes a pit file.

thx, but i already did that (multiple times) and flashing via odin always succeeds. then the phone reboots and is stuck at the first samsung galaxy s.. screen. twice i managed somehow to get into recovery (after flashing cwm6) but it then randomly rebooted.
and i dont think that the power button is stuck because when i am in download mode it is perfectly fine it never reboots itself unexpectedly.
Had a similar issue on my tab2 p3100. It all happened when I tried flashing a custom recovery from rom manager.
A bad flash of anything related to recovery or bootloader could be a probable cause.
I remember a knowledge share on one of the threads describing this issue and as mentioned on it all I had to do is this:
1) switch off the device and plug in the charger. This would light up the display showing you the charging status. The status has to show if at least your bootloader part of the phone is fine.
2) plug out the charger and immediately press the three buttons (home + vol up + power) get into recovery mode. This step has to work and help you get to recovery mode.
***Note : the interval within which this step has to be performed is too short since the display would turn off immediately as soon as you plug out the charger. A bit tricky too so you have to be fast. If this misses getting you into recovery, pull out the battery and put it back again. Repeat step1 and 2 again.
3) upon successfully getting into recovery, perform wipe data, cache and select reboot phone from option available on recovery again.
Allow the device to boot. This could take a while since you have performed a data wipe and may prompt for first time set up.
I was able to restore functionality on my tab after these steps and like ppl learn from their mistakes, I then learnt that recoveries and bootloaders are things that needs to be done with a pc only.
Worth a try if you have tried other alternatives and found no go. may help. Who knows..
all the best.
thats also not working. i tried to get into recovery since two days now...
i also tried the steps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-pit-bricked-dead-problem-gt-t2535367
but again, after i flash the cf-root (successfully) the phone does neither boot into recovery by itself nor can i do it by hand...
its crazy... in download mode i can see the model number (GT-I9300) and i thought as long as the model number is there and i can enter download mode there should be a way to recover the device.
but i cannot think of anything to try that i have not done yet
If the rescue firmware didn't help then it looks like the emmc chip is damaged.

is there a way to make certain of this? how can i tell if it is really a hardware damage and not just a software brick?
i just dont want to let the phone go, it looks still so shiny
is there anything else that could cause the phone not booting into recovery mode after flashing custom recoveries?

Same here, still didn't found how to fix it.. I guess our motherboard just died..
Howewer I have a solution that "almost" worked for me.
Get a stock firmware in odin and turn on Nand erase and T-flash
When it's done phone reboots and you'll see just "Downloading..." mode when you turn it on.
Then got to Kies and Select firmware recovery...
Enter s/n and model name and wait for the flash to complete.
With it , I got past boot logo and actually booted into android but the phone crashed because I guess I have a memory issue..
Well , gl. If you don't find anything else helpful , try going with this method..

S6 Edge Stuck in bootloop - can't flash stock rom

UPDATE: I got stock firmware flashed on it, but as soon as it finished, it just stuck in the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge boot screen, and it won't even allow me to access recovery mode so I can wipe cache and whatnot. I'm running out of patience with this brick of a phone. It just goes straight to the same boot screen, not allowing me to get to the recovery mode. Are there any alternative ways to enter recovery mode, or alternative ways to wipe cache and partition? Please, any advice is welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
Try different odin version and cable before you messing with pit.

I had tried using three different versions of Odin, 3.07, 3.09, 3.106. I also used multiple cords and multiple versions of stock roms. And still, no success. It won't even stay off, every time it juices up, or is plugged in, it goes straight to the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge boot screen and stays there.
Mind you, I am not too familiar with anything outside of stock roms, some custom roms and rooting. Have not tested out much more than that. Any noob-friendly advice would be welcomed.
I had nand write start error once during downgrading my s6 from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. I just tried odin 3.10 and it got flashed successfully. I was lucky then.

Well, I finally got one of the firmwares to work, it ran through Odin and everything just fine, but after it was done, it basically did the same thing, it stayed on the Samsung black screen, except without the red writing at the top..

I can't access recovery, the phone won't turn off, so as soon as it has any source of battery life, it just goes straight to the samsung boot screen and stays there.
Hold vol down+power button for 15-20sec. As soon as it reboot, hold vol up+power+home button to enter recovery.

I've tried that at least 50-ish times now, It just does not work, I tried it with a second or two delay, I tried it immediately after screen turns off, tried it so many times. No matter how long I hold them down for, it just stays at the boot screen. I can get to download mode just fine, but for some reason recovery seems to not be working.
is it a bootloop (it keeps restarting or it is frozen on samsung logo) ?
if bootloop you can try: plug in power corde. press and hold both volume buttons + home + power untill it shuts down. unplug power corde. press and hold home volume down and power for download mode. get another rom and flash it.
Hi i am having exactly the same problem can boot to download but not recovery, let the phone run out of battery and as soon as you plug it in again bootloop, i was running crisscross marshmallow rom ,custom kernel i have a backup but am not sure what or how to flash correctly in Odin any help would be much appreciated thanks .
Edit flashed firmware from sammobiles worked a treat .
Any updates on this?
I have this exact problem however I never attempted rooting my phone or changing anything on the firmware, I was on YouTube when my s6 edge crashed then entered boot loop, I CANNOT ACCESS recovery mode ,but I can access Odin mode. WTF everything is stock on my phone, never even heard of 'bootloop, Odin mode' before this happened .or even had to access my recovery mode on my s6. As I search the web for help I find solutions that require recovery mode, but I can access it. Apparently bootloop happens when people try to root but I never tired that. I don't even know what that is!
This just happened to my S6. Was watching YouTube then it crashed and entered a boot loop, can't access recovery, only download mode.

Can you get into download mode or recovery mode?
If you can get into recovery mode then wipe data/cache.
If you can get to download mode flash stock firmware and start again.
To get into recovery hold only down and power for 10 seconds, as soon as the screen goes off to reboot switch to recover combo, home and up amd power for 20 seconds until it boots to recovery. Try that first.
