[Q] Samsung Galaxy ACE Hard Bricked... Please help

Hey !
I was trying out the ROM Manager and was checking out the roms available in the list, i accidentally pressed a wrong model and my device was flashed...now my phone is hard bricked, it doesn't even switch on in any mode.
i cam across this link for Samsung Galaxy S
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838942
here he shows how to get the phone into download mode.
Wanted to know if the same procedure can be used for a Samsung Galaxy Ace ??
thanks in advance ...

an exact thing happen to me.but i manage to get my pc to detect the phone by pressing power+volume up+home (i dont know what mode).odin detected my phone but the flashing stuck at setup connection..because it was not in downloading mode i guess...
same as above, help needed!
additional info: pc and odin detect phone bot not kies, on kies it keep saying connecting....and theres no display on the phone

same here wont do anything

same with me, my phone wont start even on download mode so you cannot use odin.. please help.

same case , i accidently pressed wrong phone version and my phone was 'bricked'
any help ?

Same happened here! Has anyone found a solution??
Edit: All right. Here's what I did:
1. Remove the battery from the Galaxy Ace
2. Connect the USB cable to the PC as well as the phone
3. Hold: volume down + home + power buttons all together and insert the battery while you're doing that (could be a bit tricky but it works)
4. Now you should be in download mode with "downloading" on your screen
5. Open up Odin v4.38 and flash your stock firmware (find it on samfirmware)
6. That's it! It should be fully working now (at least it did for me)
Tell me if it works for you guys!

its okay alr , i bring it to the service center it claims my motherboard spoil , it changed a new one for me

@ramy.s - i tried what you did but still nothing happens.
@donomeoww - how much did it cost you for samsung to replace your motherboard? i know jtag can be an option to revive the unit but sadly the model is not yet supported, lucky for samsung s5570 though they already have jtag support on 1st week of april.

same thing happened to me.
did different methods to bring it to boot, even the two-prong diy to force to turn it on, still no go.
in the end, store replaced the device...with a bnew one of course.

Did anybody successfully revived bricked ACE??

Found expensive solution...
google "riff box samsung galaxy ace"

Samsung SGA revived
hey guys, i bricked my phone last april then the only solution to revive it is by replacing the motherboard or by using JTAG. btw JTAG support for samsung was released last May 12.

It just corrupts your motherboard
So a hardware issue can't be solved from home
Only option I guess is Service Center
Hope you have warranty
ROM Manager is a tricky tool
It hard bricks your phone if you do even a step wrong !
Ps ....Im just cautioning everyone so that it doesn't happen in future to others....

samsung gio bricked?

Sorry for my bad english
I got a Samsung GIO S-5660.
I installed Rom Manager and i installed the clockworkmod recovery.
But now the phone wont boot, dont start in recovery mode and not in download mode.
can somebody help me.
if i use a jig cable, will it work?

dude i have the same prob hope i get it solved i only have it for 3 weeks

Was there a choice for the Samsung Gio in ROM Manager ?
You have to make sure ROM Manager supports your phone before using it .
Forever living in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App

I had the exact same thing. My phone is now at the store, or it might even have been sent to a Samsung center already. Don't know as of now.
At any rate, the piece of **** that Clockworkmod is does not list any Samsung devices which must have served as a primary warning not to go through with it.
Nevertheless, I still did it. Phone turned off. Won't boot. Buttons won't work.

same here bricked samsung gio with clockworkmod
I just bricked my samsung Galaxy gio with the clockworkmod in the Rom Manager app.
I tried to flash clockworkmode to create a rom backup and then selected a random model from the list (there are only like 4 models there anyway!) No questions asked, no warnings , phone went stright to brick.
This app should produce some sort or error message or at least a warning if its not compatible with a model. As of now it works like brick your phone first, aske the questions later.
Any suggestions?
thanks a lot

[Q] Galaxy Y DUOS GT-S6102 Soft Bricked

I have a Galaxy Y Duos GT-S6102 that I believe is Soft Bricked. My son attempted to install a different rom to the phone, he thinks he selected the incorrect rom then installed. I am now trying to get the thing operational again.
I have installed a stock rom, plus several setup's but when you reboot it gets to Galaxy screen then goes no further, will not shut down unless the battery is removed. I have used Odin to flash the phone, it connects installs, I get a PASS from Odin, then phone screen shows that it has failed. I've red through lots of threads, over the last week & I now need help. It just appears that something is missing or incorrectly installed.

If this is the incorrect place to get help with this phone, can someone suggest where I can help?

[Completed] help with the Android phone samsung s3 Sph l710 T bootloader wrong possible brick hel

hi guys, so today I was Trying to download a new rom for my phone which is Samsung s3 SPH l710 T and I was thinking I was searching online if I had to unlock my bootloader and so at the end of all that I ended up not downloading the ROM. but as for the bootloader I used ez bootloader unlocker something like that and so I unlocked the bootloader but then I reLocked it again. and after that I powered off my phone only to find that when I powered it on again it wouldn't start ! so I searched online and then I figured out that most people say that if you unlock it the bootloader that it would go into a brick a Hard brick Or soft brick I don't know which one but whenever I try to turn on my phone at all.it's not doing anything no signs of life at all on the phone. I tried it all the key combinations for factory reset, download more, all that. but nothing happened. so my question is on my phone would it work if I bought a jig whatever its called and try to force it into download mode? or if I just took it into Samsung service repair and play dumb and say that I don't know why its not turning on all that. so what should I do and if I send it to Samsung repair would they like to try to figure out if he was rooted or not. oh I also just before I turned it off and never turn it back on again I also unrooted it with superuser the one the permanent unroot with one tap thingy. so it should be Unrooted. but I don't know like what I should do if I should use the jig or if I should send it to Samsung repair or what to do! anybody have any ideas please comment please help me cuz I really want to fix this phone. and I'm sorry for the bad grammar and all that cuz I was using Google Voice. so please try to help me Thanks.

[Completed] Need help! Please! Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-i747)

Hi everyone! First i want to apologize in advance if i made a mistake or something. Not too sure where to post! Kinda new to forums and forum rules...I need help seriously! For almost a year now, my Galaxy S3 isn't recognizable by any PC, Mac or whatever. Mavericks, Yosemite, Windows 7 or 8, nothing recognizes it. Downloaded the latest Samsung USB drivers, Kies and still didn't work. Went to a shop and they fixed the mini usb thingy where you plug it. They said it was partially unsolded so the data couldn't get through...Don't know if it's true. Got it recognized by my mac the 1st time. Thought it was finally recognized until the 2nd time i plugged it in. Usb device not recognized, again. 70$ thrown out the window. Anyways. Not too long ago, while still unrecognizable, the phone started shutting down by itself every 2 hours or so so i kinda got fed up and decided to wipe it to factory settings. Tried it through Kies instead of using the vol up/home button/power. Was never able to do so. Kies was doing fine until it told me that i needed to go in emergency recovery mode cause something had went wrong. Tried to go on recovery mode but no can do. Odin mode shows up all the time even though i'm doing the recovery mode manipulation. Got fed up of that too so i decided to flash to a stock firmware through Odin. Forgot to mention: the download mode works...well looks like it. Odin didn't recognize my phone too. Actually, i got it see the phone like 5 times over 100 trys and everytime (the 5 times) it started the flashing process, it would fail right at beginning of the process. Like 3 seconds later. Tried all kinds of pc's, usb cables, etc. My phone was rooted and i lost the root by updating. Was that a mistake? I don't know since the thing was functionning very well. The whole point: now i'm stuck with a phone that goes straight in Odin mode! The same tech from the same shop kept my phone for a few days to check it out and still nothing! Even the guy from the store doesn't know what to do. He spoke to me about flashing the phone's CMOS but he looked soooo unsure...And he was asking 50$ to do so....so no thank you. What can i do people? What is wrong with my phone? Wish i knew more about those things so i wouldn't have to cry for help! Don't know if i explained it well since english is not my natural language...Will answer your questions if you guys wanna know more...Seriously, heeeeeeeeeeelp! Thanks in advance people!
