hey there!
i guess i found the solution for my problem on this forum but i cant find the topic anymore. i just wanted say "thank you" to the unknown author,
and post the solution again, so maybe some more people can find it since it was just coicidence for me..
okay my samsug galaxy ace s8530 has been bricked when some flashing went wrong. afterwards there was no reaction anymore. i was pretty shure ther was no way but doing this.
unfotunetly i found a post without any answers where someone told the following:
1: take out your battery
2: connect your mobile to your pc using the usb data cable
3: keep pressed these three buttons: Vol- , Menu, Power
4: still keep them pressed and put back your battery to the phone. this is not too easy but actually its possible
5: the mobile will go to download mode, flash with odin.
my battery was nearly completly charged when i did this, and
it worked for me! thanks again to the guy who found out!
btw it is also possible to get to the arm9 mode this way. i just couldnt figure out what it was good for.
I will give it a try tomorrow on my s5570 that i just bought/bricked lol
unfortunately it didnt work for me, would creating a usb test jigs help in my case (my phone cant even power on), and does it charge if I connect it to the power cord?

No it's not the same!!!
With your method, you didn't mention to keep pressing the 3 buttons while putting back the battery. In his, there is this instruction.
With yours it didn't show "Downloading".

Help need for bricked ace S5830
Good day to all!
I am trying to help out a colleague who 'probably' has bricked his Ace S5830
He says he was attempting to flash stock 2.3.6 and this happened.
He has been rooted and using CM previously.
Can anyone please advise what this screen/logo means?
It can go to Download mode but not recovery mode.
I can obtain more details if required.
Thanks and cheers to all.
My phone only enter to the download mode, but i can`t flash it, because i have half-bricked USB port. It`s only charges after connecting to PC: "USB Device not recognized" and in the device manager: "Unknown Device" "A request for the USB device descriptor failed.". Any solutions?
Hi! I have no idea now what to do, so I decided to ask here. I'm already very depressed because I can not find a complete solution
When I installed the CyanogenMod 7 phone will not boot. Is suspended at startup (logo CyanogenMod) and nothing more I can do I have read many manuals, but none has not helped me. Apparently you need to do recovery (?), But when I try to run this menu, nothing happens and the system tries to run. At first I thought it was enough to wait, but even after several hours, nothing moved, and the phone became useless Can I do something about it? Is there anyone here who can I explain it as simply? And please do not refer me to other instructions, because it can not much.
It would be good if the aid was in the Polish language, but of course also happy to get help in English

first of all,

which rom did you flashed?
which kernel are you using?

PS : dev forum isn't the right place to ask...
post in the "Q&A" forum from now on, pleaseeeeeee
buddy, please post these questions in the Q&A forum....you are spamming the development thread.
as of your problem, u can do two things,
a) use SEUS and reinstall 2.1update 1 from SE (click support zone, click phone software update and then click "repair phone" and re-root your cell from start
b)use the x10 flasher tool from xda,download the E10i_2.1.1.A.O.6_Generic.zip from the net, extract contents and copy them to the firmware folder of the x10 flashing tool....connect your phone in flash mode when asked and your done

if he just tried to flash miniCM7-2.1.1 with a stock kernel he just needs to unlock his bootloader, and then flash nAa's kernel and then reflash (no need to start from SEUS many problems can be solved without SEUS)
I'm sorry, probably not I noticed a good place to put questions :/
I have x10 mini pro
Cyanogenmod 7(?) I'm very noob in this topic.

here you are in the MINI dev thread... not PRO.
the Q&A for both phones is here
so wrong place, wrong phone
...
could you to link the rom you are using?
You' ve probably flashed the 7.1.0/7.1.1 without follow all the required steps... I agree with friend that told you to unlock the boot loader, then install nobody'satall custom kernel and then reflash the rom! Also once i had the same problem... It caused because i didn't have made wipe/factory data reset! i pressed the power off button and the central key together in order to stop looping and reboot the phone...
I have to wait until someone moves on, or start a new topic in the right place? Once again, sorry
Probably the "use" the latest version of CyanogenMod. CM v10.
What should I do?

i realize problem is rooted then to make change with change the rom
it seems the problem is software
how can re wright everything as first (boot loader , rom , ...)
please help me
sorry fo bad english
regards.
I can hardly understand that... But if you want to go stock go to SamMobile.com and go to the firmware section.. Once there use the search option and look for p7500, choose a stock Rom from the list and download..
Once done, install Kies to get the drivers, with drivers installed put the tablet in Odin mode (turn it off then press volume down+power) select the download mode and connect the tablet to the computer.
Once done, open Odin and don't change any option there.. Go to pda and select the file you downloaded from SamMobile and Press start..
That's it

Over in the development thread there is this... little bit over my head, but have a like at it.

The only problem with that link you posted is that you'll need working Android OS, so you would still need to get your Tab up and running again. Also from what I've read in that link its not an Ubuntu os that runs natively on our Tabs. It sounds like it just uses your device as a host or something, it only boots up when your device is docked to a computer and uses its screen, keyboard and mouse.

Actually you just have to connect it on a screen with HDMI. No need for a computer. Somehow Ubuntu takes over when it detects HDMI out from the dock. It has to be a pretty decent device though. At least dual core and one gigabyte ram... Oh well, we just have to wait until canonical releases it!

I don't think he installed Ubuntu... I think he may have flashed the wrong rom with a different bootloader... But ya OP I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what you need and how we can go about helping you more...
Can you link us to the files you used to root and any thing you flashed to your Tab?

1.- press power + volume down until the tablet turns on into bootloader and move to downloading with volume down... Once you are in downloading press volume up and you will be in Odin mode. (look at reference image at bottom)
2.-download samsung Kies here and install to get the drivers
3.-download samsung stock rom here search for P7500 and get a rom according to your country/region once downloaded unzip it
4.-get Odin here
5.-connect your tablet to pc (check your usb wire its good and use a back motherboard usb port) , open Odin and Press PDA, in PDA put the file you downloaded from sammobile and unziped then Press start (do not change any Odin's options from the check boxes)
6.-wait until process finish and then you are back to stock close Odin and by this time the tablet should be rebooting.
if you are not able to recover your tab with all this then go pay

Hey I have a SGS2 but its a generic handset from ACG. Its similar to USCC device but my kernel is completely different than any others on the web. If I use ODIN to flash a custom Kernel in my device will it result in data loss or any other harm? I am still kind of lost as to what using ODIN to flash a custom kernel will do to my device other than put CWM and SuperUser on my device.
I would also like to know this. I also have a SCH-R760.
I actually ran through the rooting method, and the Kernel didn't touch the Radio. I didn't have LOS, and I am running Jelly Bean on my device now. You can follow the links in my signature below =]
nice, if you need the stock ever shoot me a pm, and I can get it uploaded.
If anyone is just wanting stock root, it can be found HERE.
could someone please help me asap, im an amateur tech geek and well i tried rooting my phone and i downloaded the wrong kernel and now my phones stuck in airplane mode, no hardware info or baseband info please help me ! DD:

If you can get it in download mode, do a one click Odin back to stock and start over. For my phone I use EL29. Usually if you can get it to Samsung screen, it is only soft bricked and fixable. Good luck!
Install the Galaxy S 2 Drivers
Driver Download
On your phone, select USB Debugging and Unknown Sources from the Settings menu.
(unknown sources located in the application tab in settings at the very top and usb debugging located in the application tab in settings in under development).
Plug your phone into your computer with the USB Cable that came with it.
Download this easy rooter tool
Epic 4G Touch Auto Fixer
Run the e4auto-sfx.exe (aka Root and download mode placer)
Press E then Enter.
Then press H then Enter on your keyboard then press any button to continue.
Your phone will now reboot into download mode. (green android guy that with a downloading bar)
Download Odin if you don't already have it
Odin Download
Download this Stock SCH-R760 File
Stock Download
Select the PDA Option on your Odin and flash it.
This will restore your device to factory default settings. From there you might need to flash your carrier files into the phone since this will restore it 100% back to factory settings.
If you have more questions I am here to help.

Hey, I have a generic sch-r760. I already managed to root but I am wanting to install a custom kernel with cwm attached. Need to get a recovery on the thing and I'm looking for ROMs as well but if I can at least get a kernel with cwm I'll be on the right path
I am sorry to be 'That guy'... But this is not the right place at all for this question.
If there is a forum for the device in question, you need to go there and ask the question. If not you need to go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=456 and ask the question there.
If a noob comes in here and does anything on there E4GT from this post, they will be very unhappy.

This guide works great for the SCH-R760x even though this is a US cellular site

I just need to get this thing in download mode and ill be Good
EDIT:I found a solution (i think) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369125
But i dont have a linux is it possible to do this on a mac since the terminal of mac and linux are very alike. If so, can someone rephrase the steps using a mac instead of linux.
Questions go in the q&a forum. Report your own post and ask a moderator to move it for you.
Usb jig might restore download mode, but the touch screen is usually destroyed.
