[Q] Galaxy Ace GT-5830i stuck in recovery mode - Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I have an issue with my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-5830i that is stuck in Android system recovery (3e) mode, and it seems there is no way to get it out of there.
- upon selecting wipe data/factory reset the device is stuck with one message "multicsc: src /system/csc/MTL/system/ ." and "Formatting /data..." bellow
- upon selecting apply zip from the SD card the installation always fails with various error messages (I tried to install cyanogen mod rom in an attempt to recover, but failed as well)
- upon selecting reboot now the whole screen disappears with only the "multicsc: src /system/csc/MTL/system/ ." message at the bottom of the screen and I need to remove the battery.
I will greatly appreciate if anyone on this forum could help with the issue, as I have search for possible solutions without any luck so far, and my phone appears to be bricked.
Thank you,
John

My guess is u still on stock recovery. Flashing cm rom or any other custom rom needs clockworkmod recovery, moroever theres no cm rom for s5830i yet.
For now u could try to reflash stock rom with odin. Theres a thread somewhere guiding howto do so for s5830i. Also do note that anything for original s5830 wont work on your s5830i.
Last but not least, do read more and understand what you're trying to do before u really hardbricked the poor thing.

Thanks for the pointers, I really appreciate it and everything works fine now.
It was actually my nephew's phone, so I have no idea how he managed to brick it like that.

I have the exact same problem. Except I can't even enter into download mode. Phone boots into recovery mode regardless of what buttons I press, get stuck at "formatting /data", and I can't flash anything. All the buttons seem to function as intended in the recovery menu, so it's not a hardware failure. Any ideas?

Oh right, sorry. Forgot about the download mode combination. Why they found it necessary to change it for this one model, I'll never understand. Flashed it back to life, thanks

Flash stock rom thru odin then from recovery mod Clear data and cache then reboot. [emoji4]

I know this is kind of old but I have same problem, i got this phone from cousin and it wasnt booting , it was going straight into recovery, since my mother has same phone and i used odin before to save her, i am familiar with odin so, I tried new firmware flash with odin , it passed on odin but again doesn't want to finish install on the phone, it says
installing update...
--appling muti-csc --
Fromatting /cache...
-- Appling Muti-CSC __
and it wont go anywhere from there , and if I reboot it goes back in recovery again and it wont format data again, formatting cache works. I also tried to flash cm7, rooted it, installed cwm but when i do reboot it is not in cwm but in regular recovery, so after that I installed cwm again and without reboot installed cm7 kernel wich succeded , after that installing the cm7 itself stuck on "installing update" , could this be hardware issue, it always seem to be stuck when its doing something with "data". I tried couple odin flashes multi package and single package, i was carefull to chose correct firmware, only thing i could make mistake is maybe with pit and re-partition. Anyone help i would appriciate it much since i have no other phone than this.

Can't Flash Clockwork Recovery!!! HALP!

So I recently upgraded from my SE x8 to an SGS2 (HUZZAH!)
I flashed an insecure Kernal (XKWF3 I believe) and Rooted using S2 Root 1.5.1.
I install Rom Manager and attempt to flash Clockwork Recovery, I select Samsung Galaxy S2, It downloads fine and I grant it SuperUser rights, I go to backup/boot into recovery and I get an error (red text);
"E:Failed to verify whole-file signature
failed to verify signature"
(Im not 100% sure on that wording but i believe it is correct)
Any ideas on what i might have done wrong or any way to fix it?
P.s. I'm on the Virgin(Optus) network in Australia, I have tried to reinstall/reflash several times to no avail.
Thanks in Advance :]
Just flash the cf-root kernel, that's all, and don't use rom manager.

First step - is to chiiilll You wont have broken anything permanently.
1) Download a stock firmware from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
2) You can get into download mode by pressing and holding: Volume Down + Home + Power. (Then you press volume up when prompted to continue)
3) Make sure kies is installed and fire up Odin.
4) Flash the rom in the "PDA" section (instructions are in the thread).
5) Your phone should boot fine after this.
From there you should flash chainfires kernel (as suggested above) using odin under "PDA" section.
Your phone will have CWM/Root. And you should be all good
Best of luck

Cheers mate, saved my life,!
I have now tried to install CM7 twice now and it isnt working - I have selected install .zip from my recovery and selected the cyanogen zip folder, doesnt do anything for me, wont boot up need to restore back to stock.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
After doing a complete wipe, including Dalvik, flash CM7 twice. That should do it.
Yep that's right. Flash it twice.

[Q] Stuck on bootloop.. Can´t enter recovery

So.. I was using my phone normally .. but suddenly my phone went very very slow and then I turned off... I was running Unnamed rom.
But here is the deal , the phone didnt woke up! I mean , The phone got stucked into a boot loop , So I treid to enter into recovery with no luck!... Then I managed to go into download mode without any problem.
So after that I restored the phone to stock (One click root odin) . BUT the phone is still showing the Galaxy S Screen Boot loop.
HELP!
I´ve tried many things.. 2 Laptops and PC´s , ports , etc.. I also removed the sim card and the micro sd , but that didnt do anything.
So , any suggestion?
PS: Sorry 4 my english
I'm going to assume that you flashed UCKH7, either the stock without root, or the stock with root one click downloader. If you flashed something different than one of these, let me know.
Since you flashed the stock package successfully, you should now be able to get into 3e recovery by holding vol+ vol- and power buttons. Once in 3e recovery, you should do a wipe data/factory reset and your phone should then boot normally.
If you are unable to get into 3e recovery, then there is some sort of unusual problem, so post back here and we'll try to find out what it is.

If you can't get into recovery using the three button technique then there is something seriously wrong with your phone.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Yes... I'm thinking possible hardware issue. But since you can still get download mode, I'd try flashing the full stock package which you can get from the Download Repository. The one you already flashed did not contain the bootloaders and other stuff. If that doesn't clear it up, then I'm thinking repair or replace.
Noob question.. Where I can find the download repository?
thanks

[Q] Flashed RazoDroid.. Stuck at Ace logo!

First time i rooted my phone, flashed CWM, everything was fine.. Then I flashed RazoDroid and after that phone is stuck at boot logo of ace and isn't booting forward.
I tried going to downloading and recovery mode but I am not able to access any of the two. Tried the volume+home+power button combo but nothing works!
Any suggestions for unbricking my phone or bringing it to senses???
Recovery is power + home. (correct me if i am wrong)
If you are unable to do anything there is a guide to flash stock rom.
Have a look to it.

So I will help by saying if you can not find a way to fix your installation then unbricking tutorial can be found in the stickies at the top and are easy to follow just double check every step. This will involve returning to stock firmware found here or at Samfireware.com. to get into 'download' or 'odin' mode you are best to turn phone off completely, then hold power button and BOTH volume buttons down, then when it warns you not to flash firmwares press vol up to say its ok, then your in download mode.
Once at stock again (and your happy to do it again) try to follow the tutorial again. Were you using the latest CWM version of Raef's kernel as that can only work on EXT4 file system, as standard our 'i' device is RFS file system so the E3 version is the way to go.
.....but then I have been a n00b and not looked at the RazoDroid thread to see what file system it installs on or even if it comes with a custom kernel or not. If it does not include a kernel flashing (using Odin) the latest odin version of Raef's kernel may fix it.
Links to kernels are in the dev forum where you found the rom ^^

[Q] Stuck on boot logo - GALAXY Pocket Neo GT-S5310 - Can't access recovery mode

Hi
I have a Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo GT-S5310...
The sad thing is that, a while ago it stopped working and now it's stuck on the boot screen (Samsung GALAXY POCKET Neo GT-S5310)
I have tried to perform a factory reset through the built-in recovery mode (volume up + home + power), but unfortunately, I couldn't access the recovery mode and the phone goes directly to the boot screen.
And since the only thing I could do was accessing the Download Mode, so I tried to recover it by installing an official firmware with Odin3_v3.07... but it didn't solve the problem...
So what would you guys suggest?
can't delete this reply... could an admin please do it?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Anyone found a solution to this?
When you use Odin to flash, when it has finished, it always boot to recovery, there you have to wipe data and cache, then it works properly!

After flashing recovery with odin I am still stuck at the S5310 Neo splash screen unable to boot into recovery. Has this maybe got something to do with a conflict between android versions? As the S3510i comes with 4.4.2 stock, not 4.1.2.

Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6 (YP-GS1 Europe) stuck on recovery menu

Hi guys, I've got the European version of the Galaxy player 3.6, and I'm stuck on recovery: The home button doesn't work, and I believe it's because I flashed 4.2 kernel by mistake, when on android 2.3.6.

How do I use ADB?
EDIT, I flashed a stock rom with odin, but the kernel is probably still wrong, since I can't use the touchscreen.. but not stuck at that firmware thing anymore.. I'll try flash the kernel you recommended
EDIT 2: I can't flash it for some reason, it gets stuck at NAND Write Start!! any other kernels you can recommend?

So, you can get to download mode? Then you shouldve flashed the kernel first. And then flash stock rom through recovery mode! You dont flash a rom with odin.
ok, so where is that NAND write start showing? if its on ODIN. use another odin version, try this one by androthan http://www.mediafire.com/download/82latn22s1kl7w2/andromint-Odin3-v1.85.zip
built especially for YP-GS1 eu.
Then flash stock kernel by zaclimon. Then boot to recovery and flash stock rom through recovery.
Heres another kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43190038#post43190038 but that kernel is just for that exact rom. And some other features not working. Check out the thread!

Thanks mate, I'll let you know how it goes!
EDIT: I'm flashing a lot of kernels now, trying to get one that works, but no luck, what would I have to do, step by step? I have a stock rom that I flashed with odin.. no touchscreen or buttons working (except for the power button)

Open odin v1.85
Press PDA, select kernel, .tar file (this kernel by zaclimon http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198234 )
Power off device then go to download mode
Click start on Odin.
Now you should be able to boot to recovery.
Wipe cache, data, factory , dalvik
Download stock rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=7404 ) then copy to device
On recovery, select install zip from sdcard, select stock rom ^
Reboot.

I flashed the kernel with odin, but after i got a screen saying samsung, with an error icon or something on the bottom.. and didn't go to recovery, it then booted into the rom I have.. is there a way to get into recovery on this device? I have tried a lot of common button combinations but no luck..

So your phone is unbricked now? Pressing Home + Volume up + Power button is the proper mode in booting to recovery mode. Or if you could access internet on the device, install some apps that let you boot to recovery mode (like the RebootManager). The error at the samsung boot logo is perfectly normal!

The touchscreen still doesnt work though.. I got to the recovery, but the home button doesn't work.. so I can't select wipe data, and I've also tried the power button which didn't work

I think theres something wrong with the device itself not the software. Hardware buttons difficulties I suppose.

It worked before I messed up the 4.2 kernel.. so I don't think it can't be the hardware.. Also the power button works to boot into download mode and recovery..

hahaha uhm, be careful though! I'm certain there's a way to fix it, but since we don't know it.. Would a restore of a back up fix the problem? (curiosity, since I can't even do that )
