Hi everyone,
I've got a BIG problem
I have a Galaxy Ace. A friend of mine played with it and Since then the phone is kinda dead
When I press the On/Off button, a series of vertical color bars appear on the screen (filling 2/3 of screen) [See attached]
Screen reduces the brightness in 5 secs
Then nothing happens and phone does not respond to any key combination
When I combine volume down with power buttons, the same thing happens although this time the phone camera flashes once!
Using the Volume up button gives me two flashes!
By the way, Odin recognize the phone on a COM port, but I don't know what I can do with that?
I also tried ADB REBOOT RECOVERY command in Android SDK as recommended by someone in here. It says DEVICE NOT FOUND
Does anyone have any idea how can I restore the phone to a normal state?
Appreciate your help

any Ideas? I'm very worried about the phone
Try holding homescreenbutton and on key. Recovery menu should turn up. Then perform a hard reset
I just bricked my ace today and there was no way I was able to fix it, the closest I got was getting the device into a 'connecting' state in the samsung kies software but didn't got any further, no screen no nothing..
Eventually I went back to the store and they replaced it without asking too many questions, I told them it died while doing a factory reset.

Yes looks like the ACE still got problems, my friend's ACE also hangs alot.
My problem is that I can't see anything on the scree (see pic above) I dpn't know what state the handset is in!!!
Any one has a link to a recent firmware for ACE that works?
Weird, don't know if the resistor trick that works on the Galaxy S could also apply on this model ?

Rom manager? If so your phone is dead. Do you honestly think selecting software meant for another device will work? Rom manager does not support the galaxy ace, yet. You've now ruined the partitions and so far noone has managed to get a successful unbrick. Make up a bull**** story and hope you get the phone fixed in warranty. Tata.

Sorry about this question, but I have a blank screen at my samsung captivate after doing failed flashing with odin. I have bricked my Galaxy? No matter what I do always show me blank screen (usb port, charging the phone, power on, etc)-
Thanks and wait any reply asap.
What firmware are you currently running? Where in the flashing did it fail? Provide more information please.
If you can enter download mode (Home + Vol Down + Power) then you can simply flash it again. In this case, your device is not bricked at all. If you cannot enter download mode, you may be in a bind, but please provide more information to see if we can help.
Also, this would have been the proper forum to post in.
Hi upichie, well, I've tested the gingerbread from this link "/posts/celulares/12869092/Personalizar-Samsung-Captivate-a-fondo_.html at taringa" and during the process of flashing is stuck at factory.rfs, I've tested 2 times and always get the same and I havent a failed download of the rom file.
Then after searching in google, I've read that I can test another rom, then I've downloaded the 2.3.4 from this link "/comunidades/soandroid/3821213/(Aporte)Actualizar-Samsung-Captivate-Android-2_3_4-+-Root.html at taringa" and stuck at cache.rfs a long time more than 20minutes then I remove from usb and then I've got the white screen at the entire display like a torch no matter what I do. Sorry by my english people .
try to access download mode by take out the battery and press vol up + vol down + power or vol down + home + power .when u can access to download model and flash again wit stock rom
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Hello people, no matter what I do, always I get the same screen, now I've attached an screenshot to you people, thanks
I only want a reply to confirm that I've bricked my captivate hard or soft thanks alot.
Hello people, after searching a solution one dude say to me that Was a bootloader brick
I have to sold my captivate, but thanks to all your replies.

normally.
Pls help

Great to know that. but how?
Pls tell me the exact sequence you employed.
I am pressing first Vol UP and then Home button
and while keeping these pressed I am pressing
power button. Samsung model number is flashed
for few seconds and then screen goes blank and
remains blank unless I release the power button.
Once I release the power button the phone boots
normally. Pls help.
You need to press and hold the home button LIGHTLY and just press the power button. DO NOT HOLD the power button just press it.
Good work. Thanks
hi
if i root with this method, and then hard reset my device then will i have to root it again or it will remain rooted after hard reset.
is there any method of unrooting?
explain me some details of the risk involved in rooting, i have purchased the phone last week and dont want to loose it so early. can i brick my phone while rooting?
is it possible to fix the bricked phone?
thank you in advance, and sorry to ask too many questions, but i am new to android.
i have flashed many symbian phones with CFW but in symbian i can always restore original FW if the CFW didnt work or something went wrong. I am learning android please help me...
If you follow any instruction to the letter, there won't be a chance of bricking
You can unroot any time by flashin a stock ROM.

Does any indian user confirm two button works to enter recovery(Home + Power)?

Press and hold volume up and home button and then press (don't hold!) power.
I think corrupt recovery, already tried 2 n 3key combination, nothing works

You need to press the home key LIGHTLY. Pressing too hard will press the adjacent key/s. I had the same issue, but once I learnt to press the home key lightly it works consistently all the time.
off topic: do you guys have problem when holding the touch on this device?(like when you have to change a icon position on the launcher)
@abbas
You said in your first post "I modified this update.zip file for Galaxy y pro ...". Could you please give me a link or post the original update zip for the Galaxy y pro (not your modified one for the duos), please?
thanks in advance
thanx a ton Abbas, tried all possible methods till i read ur advise and it worked in one strike, appreciate it.
Thank you once again.
For the benefit of other members who are trying a factory reset if you have forgotten the password, once you get into the recevoery mode you will be prompted for a password again. Do not worry, enter incorrect password 3-4 times before you get a warning for a factory reset by the system, click on yes and you are back to your new phone (of course if you do not have your data backed up, it will be lost) Also, please ensure to remove your sd card before the factory reset to avoid loss of data.
Hope this helps all.

Hi Dr ketan,
did you get success in rooting galaxy y pro duos?
I didn't try it, as it was my friend's device.
Edit: just got chance to retry n works flawless.
3key worked
Vol up + home (lt to centre key) + power

thank you abbas for root package, can you provide the unroot zip package also. it will be great to have method to unroot for all the users because in the worst case if we needed to go to samsung people..
thanks for the root package, rep+
Flash any stock rom with pc Odin, wil make totally stock rom.
Usually unroot tools leaves some foot print on device. So above said method is best n safest.

upgraded my i5801 with samsungs kies 2.2 upgrade - worked ok
wanted to remove orange and improve performance hoping to burn the latest kyrillos o/s. I have manage to root the phone (superuser there in apps) but could not enter recovery mode to clear the system and my mutiple attempts have now bricked it with the b&w samsung i5801 symbol.
i have tried 'volup, home, start', 'voldown, home, start', 'vol+vol-, home, start'
and the same combinations using menu instead of home. I have searched the forums and all i could find was a mention that orange i5081s are different and can't be done.
Please how can i unbrick it? and is there a way of doing what i planned?
Hold volume up+down+home+power button and let go of the power button when the boot screen shows up and hold on to the other buttons for a little longer.
Cheers

^ If it's booting till GT-I5801 screen, then it's definitely not a hard brick.
Try removing the sd card and sim, and then see if you can navigate to the download mode or not (vol down + home + power)
dude, follow that guide I gave you! just install/flash other roms! I think the recovery files might be missing.
Hi, i was trying to install stock ROM on galaxy gt5830i (ace) because it was bricked, and i accidentally installed the ROM of galaxy gt5570i, now im stuck i tried to go download mode using adb (since i cant use buttons its a different ROM) and could only go to recovery, now im stuck in recovery since there's no choice to press, volume up works as volume up and home button work as volume down, the volume down button doesn't work at all, and i cant make selection using either or using power button, im stuck in recovery and no option to use Odin, i literally bricked the phone, any help would be appreciated, thanks!
