Hello,
Im all new in this forums and i just got my just got my first smartphone, a samsung galaxy ace with android 2.3.6
I tried to root it on my windows 7 laptop with superoneclickroot. this didnt work so i flashed AceGingerRoot with the stock recovery and it succeeded. After this i tried to flash ClockWorkModRecovery with the stock revovery and the original version didnt work so i downloaded ClockWorkAce.zip and flashed this with the stock recovery. After this i clicked reboot now. and after that my phone wouldnt boot anymore. I can turn it on but it then keeps getting stuck at the boot screen with samsung galaxy ace gt s5830i on it... I can get into recovery mode and into download mode and i looked on some forums and they told me to just flash the stock rom with odin. I tried this and got my phone in download/odin mode (it says odin mode but idk if it is download or odin mode) but my pc and laptop both dont recognize the phone, but my pc actually says: ''unknown device is ready for use'' but in odin the white box thingy with com port mapping above it doesnt become yellow, although i added the cooper.ops in the select ops box and i also added a 1 package in the one package option. oh, also when i plug the phone into the usb cable when its off it give a grey empty battery with a loading circle inside it on the phones screen
I only got my phone 1 day now so please help me, it would be REALLY REALLY appreciated

Try to install samsung usb drivers.the download mode volume down+home+power button...
Bootloader okay... (phew)
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/SAMSUNG-USB-Driver-1480.shtml
Then give it a go, at least you can get into download/recovery mode
Hmm, I might look into getting you a flashable stock recovery for 5830i... but don't rely on it
If this doesn't work you can try to install samsung kies. There are the drivers included, too
Purchased your phone today and already bricked it? Bravo
Well bro install Samsung Kies, it'll install all necessary drivers for you ( most of cases)
Then try ODIN and it'll recognize your device or go to samfirmware.com and you'll find everything of your need.
and you need to be very careful now on selecting anything for your device as its GT-s5830I not standard version GT-s5830. So must of the stuff will not work only S5830I things will work

The Cyanogenmod9 isnt for the 5830i - it will brick it more (perhaps past rescue)

Unfortunately the 5830i Has no custom ROMS as of yet, ill extract some firmware appropriate to your device and see if I can help you.
I need to know when your device stopped booting
I also need a copy and paste of your odin log when you attempt to flash (the text in the bottom left of application)

Nope, its not a ROM- Its a Deodex (Removes .odex files in system/app to make free space) and only works on two paticular basebands
Try installing this in your recovery, you may have to name it update.zip, it is a cwm for your 5830i that you had on the link.
(Standard disclaimer, if it doesn't work and messes up your device further- I apologise very much, but you agree to take no action. By trying this you agree to it)
ok, i started odin version 1.84 (it says odin3 1,84) and here my phone gets recognized but its a really complicated program. I think it can be fixed with this program but i just dont understand it and the only stock rom i can find for s5830i is this one: http://www.androidaddicted.com/firm...erbread-2-3-6-india-firmware-update-1450.html and it is a indian version but the only one i think

looks too much mess up and you took wrong step in panic..
You should not have flashed a Kernel to get rid of bricked screen (phone!PC), you have to get download mod and falsh complete ROM that time...
you told your Running ROM was 2.3.6 but KI3 is an old version...

Try to use Heimdall. Maybe that works.
You say you dont have Kies. Download kies. Run it and it will install the drivers. Close Kies. Make sure its not running in the background. Install your original firmware that came with the phone using Odin. If your in download mode, your not bricked.

Hi all!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which I since a week cannot start. It get stuck on the black/white samsung logo. I cannot enter recovery mode, nothing happens when releasing the power button after pressing volumeup+home+power buttons. I can however reach download mode. I'm not sure what caused this problem, one day I just couldn't start it. I read on forums that many similar problems seem to have occurred when upgrading android but I'm not sure this is the case here (unless the phone made an automatic update while I was asleep). I'm not sure what version of android I'm running, but I'm pretty sure it is at least the ICS.
I would like to hard reset my phone if possible. It seems to be easiest through the recovery mode which I cannot get into.. I read things about Odin, connecting the phone to the computer and downloading android to the phone but haven't quite grasped it. Could anyone explain this option for me or point me in the right direction? Are there other options?
I would appreciate any help, especially since my 1-year warranty expired a month ago!
Best regards,
Marcus

Sounds like the symptoms of a NAND RW corruption. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
Hi Marcus,
I had the same problem few days back.
If it's not broken by you trying something fancy, the best solution is to take it to service centre. If you have rooted your device, had installed some custom firmware or are not willing to visit the service centre for some other reason, please read ahead.
All I did was,
Installed USB connectivity drivers through Kies.
Installed ODIN 1.83
Ensured that Kies or any of its processes are not running in background.
Downloaded the official SGS2 firmware
Flashed the firmware through ODIN.
It took around 10 minutes for the full process and I was having my mobile up and running. Using ODIN sounds scary initially if you haven't used it. I have slowly started gaining confidence in it after using it a few times.
Please note that though the process is well proven to be safe, there is still an amount of risk involved.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Download a siyah kernel(like v4.0.1) .tar file and flash through odin.
See if that makes it boot/lets you into recovery.

A couple of things..ensure KIES is not running on your computer in the background. If possible delete it completely. Also ensure your phone is connected to a USB port directly on the computer and not via a hub or to a USB port on a keyboard or something. Odin is a finicky s/w..so..
Also, try different versions. If v1.85 doesn't work try v3.4

Lol at underlining. if you flash a custom kernel like siyah, you'll be rooted and get CWM. Using that you can install a custom ROM.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
And youll be safe from the 4.0.4 brickbug if you flash siyah.
You flash a kernel for various reasons like it has emmc cap disabled,you can tweak it etc.
You can flash siyah kernel and stop there.Or you can move onto a custom rom.
Whatever,when its done-backup your efs and make a nand backup.
And yesterday I was downgrading my wifes phone onto 4.0.3.I was using odin and kept getting "failed".After 3 attempts I realised I hadnt put the phone into download mode..........how stupids that......lol
hi there, just wondering, after Flashing the stock firmware through ODIN, do you lose everything in your phone? i need to get all the notes that I have in my phone (notes from the samsung stock apps). I dont have any external sd card in the phone. thanks in advance for the reply.

Hi there sir,
Has the problem solved ? Care to share the solution ?
Thanks.
i had the same exact problem, i tried flashing with odin n stock firmware but stuck in NAND write start, i didnt try flashing with PIT & repartition though, i couldnt be bothered anymore, so i took it to samsung service plaza, they told me the problem is in the main PCB (hardware issue), so all they did was replace that n it got fixed! i didnt pay because it's still under contract/ carrier warranty

I had a similar problem, stuck at boot with Biftor v12, which happened after I tried to update SuperSU binary through CWM/TWRP. I don't know why it stuck at boot and why it wouldn't reboot to Recovery. Download mode was still working, so I had no choice but to flash new kernel through ODIN and see if it works.
So if your symptoms sound similar to mine, here's what I did to be able to boot again:
I REPEAT, SIMILAR TO MINE. MY SOLUTION MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY APPLY TO YOURS.
1. Download a suitable kernel in tar.md5 format. I used PhilZ-cwm6 v4.93.6 for XWLSN firmware (see OP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270)
2. Download ODIN, if you don't have it, found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539
3. Once installed, boot your phone in Download mode by pressing Vol Down+Home+Power together until you see a warning dialog. Press Vol UP to get into download mode.
4. Make sure ODIN is running, and NO KIES processes are running.
5. Connect your phone with USB cable to your PC.
6. In ODIN, you should see a COM port with yellow background.
7. Click the PDA button ONLY.
8. Select the kernel file you downloaded.
9. Press Start and nothing else.
10. If everything went as expected, your phone should reboot after a while with a working Recovery.
Only do the steps if you are absolutely sure. This worked for me, and I hope it gives some tips for your problem as well.

Hi Flash-IS-Bright
I have the exact same problem with SuperSU on my rooted Galaxy S2. I updated the SuperSU app, and when I opened it, it recommended me to update the binary, I selected the CWM/TWRP option and then my phone tried to reboot but is now stuck. It can only access download mode.
In doing the process above, you only flashed the kernel? Did this totally work? And all your apps/messages were left intact on your phone?
Any help is appreciated.

when ur updating the binary u should always choose the 'Normal' thing instead of the 'CWM/TWRP' one ma8
if u flash a kernel it will not delete anything on ur phone, all u have to do is to select the right kernel like 'Philz' for example (if ur on a stock JB firmware) and flash the same through 'ODIN' and reboot ur phone

Thanks for your help. I've originally had Jeboo 1.2 kernel on my phone and tried to reflash that again through Odin. It passed, however I'm still encountering the same problem of the bootloop.
Would flashing a different kernel help? I'm on stock JB firmware but with a Jeboo kernel. I am happy to try another kernel (if that would not brick my phone)
Do you have any other suggestions to help me solve this?

You could try flashing hawkerpaul's kernel wiper first and then install another stock kernel like PhilZ or Apollo, and see if that helps.
Neat Rom lite,suddenly struck in boot loop after 1 month of operation.
Dear All,
I have installed the "I9100XWLSZ_NeatROM_Lite_v5.0.1" custom rom and after 1 month of successful usage, today suddenly the phone was dead.(probably due to autoupdates over wifi) . I tried to reboot, but didnt. Tried to restart but got stuck in the logo screen with yellow triangle.
Tried to enter recovery mode, but no use. Only download mode is possible.
Tried to flash the stock rom using odin, but no use, Nand write failed.
Can somebody help me how to come out of this situation. Shall I install a different kernal and see?

Why don't you try helping instead of rubbing people up the wrong way?

So you only can get to download mode, but not recovery?
I really don't want to freak you out, but it could be SDS...
Please let us know if you could resolve it.

I doubt it is the sds as it happened after a kernel flash, at least I hope it isn't for his sake!

because he's right, it's pointless to repeat the same stuff over and over.
Can get to download mode? Flash a stock rom. can't? try a different cable/port/pc/make sure kies is not running /reinstall drivers. didn't help? try flashing the correct pit file. no luck? send it to samsung. it's all been posted a thousand times

Take a look at his posts, he is spamming that video everywhere, why bait people that need help?
Also remember it does state in the rules to try and be helpful and welcoming to newcomers, or don't post at all, I agree it's a hard balancing act to get right, but if you continually slam the door in people's faces it will put newcomers off, a degree of civility and tact is required

Sometimes it's the really simple things
Glad you got it sorted
So today I bought Galaxy ace after having galaxy 5, which I rooted and flashed a ton of times. I picked this phone up, found a cm7 rom, tried to install it. It didn't work, it showed me errors ( I learned that you need to delete some code somewhere in the .zip file ). I tried again. It installed correctly but I couldn't boot normally, it was stuck on the starting screen. OK I thought, it could be normal, I'll just reinstall it. I did that and guess what. NOTHING. I have no idea what to do, I tried flashing with odin, but odin 4.[something] didn't even detect it and odin3 3.07 detected them but was stuck on SetupConnection... At that moment I lost hope.
How do I fix this mess
Thank you

I installed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543521 and the clockwork mod. The weird thing is that when I install CWM it doesn't stay like that when I boot to recovery again.

That is for S5830 not S5830i.
As for clockwork mod, its a temporary one so you will have to flash cwm everytime you need to use it.

Is there a CM7 for S5830i?
EDIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080065 is this any good

yes, this is the rom for s5830i but still has bugs listed in the thread like bluetooth not working etc...
for flashing this, first flash hell_lock kernel, search in development thread..
for more info go to CM7 discussion thread in general section!
***Problem Solved***
Hi experts,
My Galaxy S4 GT-I9506 is bricked with this error:
image 1 (attached)
It doesn't go to recovery mode anymore now!!!
First I tried to install custom Rom to root it with Odin, it did seem fine with "green pass" but didn't actually install any recovery mode (there wasn't any install option in recovery mode, there were only update options), nothing happened to phone at all and it worked normal.
Second i wiped the phone and cache and I download the firmware from Samsung website.
and after try to install, it failed in Odin:
Images 2 & 3 (attached)
I'm not sure but I think it was a wrong firmware, because I bought my phone online (kogan.com i think it is in Hongkong) and I downloaded the Australia Vodafone firmware (as I'm using Vodafone sim card).
anyone can help me?!
I should mention that phone doesn't go to recovery mode, failed in Odin, Kies can not fix it! the drivers all are up to date and no Antivirus runs in my PC.
Please someone help me.
Thanks & regards
Tesius
Go to samfirmware.com and download the latest firmware for your phone, try using that in odin

Open Kies and go to the Tools menu and click on Firmware initialization, enter your model name and serial number(under the battery). It will get you back to stock firmware

did u really read my post?
failed in odin, kies can not support the device, no recovery mode...
Make sure your firmware downloaded right, because it is saying it is corrupt. (redownload and rerun Odin).

Tks - I have tried many ROMs from different counties (other ROM or even Kernel, etc...) and upload does not seem to work in ODIN. When you find the right country ROM, did it suddenly work in ODIN?

yes, there are different operator in one country, first u have to find out in which operator of which country your phone is supported, then download the ROM from sammobile, make sure of using last version of Odin, and maybe it takes longer than u expects, for me last about 9min to get the Pass sign...
i had the same problem..so try downloading GT-I9506_501_Stock-Recovery_XXUDOF2 that file from internet and extract..and then flash it using odin..it worked for my s4 gti 9506...
