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.

i rooted my phone before with amits universal GB CF
i noticed that the 3 button recovery dont work anymore... is this normal? do i have to click CWM always in apps drawer instead of the 3 button to go into recover?
secondly, my brother wants his i9003 rooted too
he is also on DXKP9, and DONT want another firmware on his phone like XXKPQ
i was planning on using UC-Kernel on it, would it be possible that it will work on stock DXKP9 without issues? i read that UC-kernel already has CF.ROOT and touch CWM Recovery with it but its for XXKPQ..... interested to know on issues related to DXKP9 if any before i flash.
and lastly...whats the difference with UC-Kernel v9 1009...2009 and 3009 ?
IMP : Before you do anything make a backup
1) No that is not normal. May be you aren't pressing the buttons properly.
2) Follow the procedure to go to recovery. Press the Volume Up key + Menu key and then pressing the former two keys you need to power ON the device after which you will see the recovery screen.
3) I think UC-Kernal is universal. May be it works. Im not sure. Why dont you try and let others know ? or you can wait till someone who has flashed that firmware and UC-Kernel to answer.
4) And about UC-Kernel v9 1009...2009 and 3009 , those are 3 test versions of the kernel with different voltages supplied. For more details on that check this post by "inciongd". He's explained it beautifully.

Do not do the VOL UP+MENU+POWER while your device is ON. Turn it OFF and then press VOL UP+MENU first then hold the POWER button until you see the samsung logo or until CWM recovery loads up. I was not able to go to recovery mode/download mode until I turn off my device.
thanks for the replies guys
but i already those 3 buttons a few times with phone turned off...already know about this since i go to recovery long ago without CWM when i do hard reset
but im new to CWM and rooting
so i had cleared cache and dalvik cache a few times already
i can only go to recovery via the CWM app
the 3 button recovery dont work for me
my buttons are all working...
the problem is when i do the 3 button recovery, it goes to samsung logo, fades for a few seconds then goes back to samsung logo again...it just vibrates and go back to samsung logo if i keep holding on.
anyone tried the universal GB amit CF.root with touch recovery and experienced the same?

P.S.
Its not like that i dont red the forum i sited here many hours and still i didnt find solve of my problem. I guess i am too dummy ;/ I will be graceful sboody ?: (
Here comes help!
Welcome to the forum, btw
First thing you should do is hold on a little bit.
To solve your problem try to get to download mode (VOL-, HOME, POWER, then after phone turns on, release power) and flash Kyrillos' ROM (FROYO - v9.0) - fire up odin, tick one package, select tar and flash it. AFTER the flashing ends, you should boot up to recovery (CWM recovery for G3MOD kernel). Here, navigate through menu using VOL+, VOL- and navigate to "Wipe data/factory reset" option. Now press HOME button to confirm. Navigate again to Yes, press HOME again and wait till its done.
Now Navigate to "Reboot" or something like that - its the first option in there. Then press HOME again. You should see the phone rebooting and then displaying the bootanimation - it lasts for aprox. 10-20minutes, so don't panic!
If this wont solve your problem, give me more info
- New or used phone - THIS IS ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT TO KNOW BECAUSE IF YOU HAD NEW, YOU HAD 2.1 FIRMWARE ON IT
- Did you wipe data/factory reset phone
- What else you tried?
- etc, etc...
There will be solution somewhere... I'm sure. But post the result after trying that.
PS: here on xda is a little THANKS button... Use it instead of "THANK YOU" posts. (Just in case you didn't know)

Thank u very much man phone was used but it had 2.1 stock firmware on it, i didnt wipe/ factory reset on phone, and i didnt't tied sthing else.
Now tell me after flashing Kyrillos' rom v9.0 Do I have flash kernel with CWM or its in Kyrillos already? How to enter CWM recovery mode ? Same as normal (VOL +, VOL-, HOME, then POWER) I did thank u cuz it sounds logical what u wrote thank u man and I am waiting for reply.
CWM is pre-installed on Kyrillos rom. To boot into CWM recover just turn the phone on, hold the power button until a menu comes up and in the menu it will say recover. Press recovery to go into recovery mode.

I did flashed kyrillo's v 9.0 and and after flashing phone just stay in boot screen and nothing happends. I cant do anything again. Do root is needed to flash ROM's cuz when my phone crashed it wasnt rooted and now i cant root it cuz computer only see it as Modem and composite device mode ;/ I dont know what to do.

Turn your phone off by pulling the battery out. The put the battery back in but don't turn the phone on. Hold the volume up + volume down + home button + power button and as soon as the screen turns on, let go of the button. This will take you into CWM recovery. Then, in recovery, select wipe data/ factory reset, then wipe cache and then wipe the dalvik cache. These options are all in recovery and are easy to find. Then reboot the phone and it should work. Also you don't need to root your phone to flash a custom ROM.

You probably have confused Samsung galaxy 3 with Samsung galaxy S3 because this phone (Galaxy 3) Hasn't menu that you can boot to recovery/bootloader with. At least I dont know about such "menu" thing.
---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------
----------------------------------------------------------------------- SOLUTION! ---------------------------------------------------------
@KamelusPL: You said that you cant boot after flashing Kyrillo's ROM v9.0. And you had Android 2.1 and you couldn't boot. That means you have been in hurry to get things really fast done and flashed FROYO ROM WITHOUT BOOTLOADERS OVER 2.1 THAT COMES WITH ITS OWN TYPE OF BOOTLOADER = bricked.
HOWEVER, there's a solution! yeah!
This is a bit risky, but if you want your phone working again, you must do that. I'm saying again, I take no responsibility over such things.
1. Put your phone into download mode. This must be working.
2. Download this file: http://hotfile.com/dl/132526357/46bd186/I5800XXJPS_OXX_Android_2.2.rar.html
3. Open odin, tick ONE PACKAGE, in the down right corner click ONE PACKAGE and select .tar file you downloaded. ITS WITH PROPER BOOTLOADERS - FROYO XXJPS. That must work.
4. Click start. NOW DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PC until its done!
5. Wait till its done and wait till your phone boots up.
6. If you will have still bootloop, then you must boot into recovery (YOU MUST WAIT... RECOVERY WONT SHOW IMMEDIATELY just like in download mode... wait man.), here navigate using the same keys I told you before, and select wipe data / factory reset, then select yes and wait till its done. Then, navigate to wipe cache partition, select yes and wait till its done. Then, select reboot system now and press HOME.
7. This should be working!
This menu! Recovery is the second last option and I have a galaxy 3...
Edit: also I would recommend doing what the Guy above said. To boot into download mode you hold volume down + home button and the power button. :thumbup:

Wait, so when you bought your phone yesterday the battery was discharged? So you didn't check if it was working or not before you bought it? Maybe you were scammed into buying a broken phone
--------------------------------
Click thanks if I helped.
Any other way to enter the recovery? I'm afraid not.
Maybe this has somethig to do with flashing CUSTOM FROYO ROM over 2.1. Because Kyrillos' ROM's kernel converts filesystems to other ones than the stock RFS that is used by stock samsung roms. That means the phone after flashing stock rom directly after some custom froyo roms dont recognize the partitions in different filesystems. So you must wipe data and cache partition to get the phone to recognize theese partitions again.
After that, the phone will boot. BUT YOU MUST BOOT IT TO RECOVERY AND WIPE DATA SOMEHOW.
This is really wierd... If you can go to download mode, I'm sure this can still be fixed somehow, but the stock froyo rom should boot into recovery anyways...
Have you tried getting to recovery when you first saw the phone that its not booting? I mean at the beggining of this problem if you had still 2.1 when you got the phone? Because wiping data from recovery on 2.1 should have solved this problem I think...
EDIT: HERE IN XDA IS SOME FILE - zerofill.tar THAT IF YOU FLASH IT, YOU PROBABLY GET WIPED PARTITIONS, but not sure... TRY THAT - I think rkoby13 has posted this file somewhere... Try to PM him...

U have absolutly right that they to solve this is enter recovery mode but i think my problem is deeper i found something on my own. Look.
If your GSII has the folowing symptoms :
Bootloop
Stuck on GSII logo, but already removed the battery to try to fix it
Enters Download mode and Recovery mode
It means that you are soft bricked and is easy to solve.
But if your symptoms are the mentioned above, PLUS the symptoms below
Enters Download mode but does NOT enter recovery mode (usually means a NAND rw corruption)
Doesn't flash
Bad flash in odin (FAIL after flashing, or the flashing suddenly stops)
It looks like I must use all my brain power to solve that i guess i need to go deeper into android stuff cuz i wont give up. I even gave my phone to service but seems like that dude is lame and he is not so much expert like i need i send message to Kyrillos cuz i guess he knows all bout androids and all that stuff and thats the person who i need some1 very good must see my topic guess i will just read learn and w8 for help thank u all for advices
After watching your youtube video I am confused. You try to get in into recovery, but don't even wait 10 seconds before you remove the battery?
Before you start make sure the battery is not empty or even broken. Charge until it reports full.
Battery out for a while, remove charging cable. Then battery in, press Vol+ and Vol-, add Home, then Power, as soon as something appears onscreen let go all three. Then WAIT. What happens?
If it stays on the GT I5800 screen for longer than a minute on a stock Eclair AND stock Froyo (from twinky's advice), you probably have a serious hardware issue. Did this device you bought ever work properly for you? That's important. If you really bought a phone that you never saw working, it's most likely hopelessly dead. If it worked, and showed the reported error after a day, there might be hope.
edit: I had countless bootloops/flash FAILs/tons of FC after 1st boot/corrupted FS... don't give up! As long as download mode is still accessable, it's not dead yet!

Dude u rly think i am so stupid?
Phone was working when i bought it i suspect that some sort of application crashed it( i guess taskkiller), i did tried to take out battery for longer time even 1 day ... And i did tried to hold buttons longer
Its bad flash that has made the situation...
Flash zero fill.tar which will clean your system
Flash again a rom using 'Forced download mode' ( vol+, home, power button)
Note: you should restart your phone by keys when its still on after zero fill flash using the force download keys.

Sorry, I was just telling from the video. But a software like taskkiller cannot mess up the whole phone in a way that prevents access to recovery.
Try cleaning the ROM like in above post and then flash a bootloaderfree stockrom. That should leave you with a perfect situation to start all over again.
Hi,I don't know if the word "bricked" or "drowned" is the best match for my case,but anyways here is my story:I had installed on my phone the kyrilos rom,I don't remember wich version excactly it has been too long before.My phone fell into a glass of water,I pulled battery out,dried it up with hair styler,after that it had some water marks on the screen and it was working quite good,I re-flashed it abd worked better,the watwr marks on the screen dissappeared and got better...but...my girlfriend reebooted accidently in recovery and it dropped dead,froze,I pulled the battery out,reebooted,and after that I am stuck in phone's logo and it keeps loading nothing ..forever..and I can't even boot to recovery mode..any ideas?I've searched in this blog and I couldn't find anything to do..please help me..

Few days ago I updated to ICS. Here are the steps that I followed:
1. Downloaded the ROM and entered the DM mode in SGR
2. Using ODIN I updated the OS to ICS
I am not/was not very knowledgeable about other steps that needed to be done. Everything went well (at least it look to be the case then), but noticed that when on Wi-Fi and using the facebook app, my phone often freezes up. A force re-start use to solve the problem. However today, the phone didn't reboot after a force closure.
I have tried going to the recovery mode. I get the android logo but it shuts down soon after that.
I was hoping to enter the download mode and install another version of OS but the phone doesn't go to the download mode. Couple of time it went to something called "Safe Mode" but the screen was unresponsive. Also I think the de-bug node might not be checked on in my phone
And now finally it is showing something called "encryption failed error" and asks me to do a "reset settings". When i click that nothing happens and the screen goes blank.
My phone is still under warranty. Not sure if installing ICS would have made it void. Any suggestion as to what can be done to get out of this mess will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Do you sure?
You can't go to DM and Recovery?
Impossible...
Perhaps some hardware problem happend!

Not sure what could cause it but I am pressing the power key + Volume up+ Home key to enter the recovery mode..I get the Android symbol with the with the rotating structure, but after 5 seconds the screen goes blank
To enter the DM mode, I press the Power Key + Home + Volume Down key and I get the Samsung splash logo and then a message which says "Encryption Failed" Unable to complete encryption because of interruption.Perform factory data reset (earsing all your data before use). After resetting, try encrypting device again.
then there is a button to reset device. When I press that nothing happens.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I can't make the phone to boot. Not sure if the SSC guy would be able to.
Is there a way to check the download counter given that I am not able to boot?
If the phone absolutely won't power on then the SSC will replace your motherboard without any questions asked..

Took them a week but that's what they did. And I am happy that it was still under warranty
I recently updated my Galaxy S3 to the new android version 4.3. After the update started everything was normal until the phone shut itself off and did not turn on till now. i checked restarting it plus taking the batteries out and then putting it in nut the phone wont turn on. The phone just shows the samsung logo that glows now and then and nothing more. Please help me what to do and what has happened.

Are you on stock firmware and stock update?
Power off your phone and hold power, volume up, and menu button simultaneously, when the screen turns on (samsung Gt-I9300 shows up) then leave the power button ONLY. Then you'll show up to recovery, there wipe user data/factory reset and wipe cahce (partition) and reboot. Wait for some time as it will take some time to boot up...... Another thing, use volume buttons to navigate and power button to select in recovery

Check the rom was compatible for your device ???
Just open cwm recovery , wipe cache , dalvic cache , data and factory reset . Flash again the rom and reboot your device . After 5-10 min. your device will start .
Hope I helped . Don't forgot to click :thumbup: button .
