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.

cant i do any thing now with my phone???? aint there any way 2 unbrick my phone nw?????
Good morning.
Firstly please excuse my English...
Let me explain my problem.
With the idea of making a backup of the rom galaxy s5570 mini for my wife before passing on gingerbread, (actually on android 2.1), I wanted to flash the recovery.
The original recovery worked well, I tested it.
I followed the directions for Roms customs:
-Odin installed
-installed the samsung drivers (Kies)
-download "tass-recovery-cwm.tar"
file-TASS_v1.0.ops
-started in download mode
-put the file or run it is necessary and all in Odin and start ...
Odin said OK
The phone will restart ...
I turn off, I test and I have no access to recovery. The phone is fixed on the screen "Samsung ..."
Basically no way to access the recovery. I tried to reboot directly with QuickBoot, it does not work more.
I redid the procedure a second time just in case ... it makes no difference.
I re-download the various files, TASS.OPS, the recovery, the Samsungs drivers (on samsfirmware this time) ... nothing better.
So now, if someone can help me ...
no ideas to help me?
i've tried to flash recovery too with odin and tass-recovery-cwm.tar, only thing what happens when i try to go in recovery is showing me:
RAMDUMP Mode ( ARM9 mode) and the Samsung logo.. it's just staying there nothing else and what i can do is use power button to reboot in normal mode which boots without a problem.
Later Edit: i've just played with the phone and it seems i can boot in recovery. after a 1st fail trying to boot in recovery (the stucked Samsung logo) i hold power button, the phone reboots and when i see Samsung i press the 3 keys and it goes in recovery.
Later Edit 2: so after more playing with the phone i figured that it will boot in recovery if you press only Home + Power keys, and not as many say VolUP + Home + Power.

Hi, to me it happens the same thing but why? someone can help us?
Ah I see I am not alone in this problem. Should be well end up finding a solution.
I would really like to backup my original rom.
And in addition the cwm is also used to flash roms ...

- my phone was sent back for unbrick it, stuck on Samsung logo -
...so we cannot make a backup of our ROM...
PWR + central => Samsung Recovery
PWR + VolDown + central => Download Mode
PWR hold on for 4 sec => reboot
<what else ?>
What is RAMDUMP Mode ?
What is Quickboot ?
i have the same issue & i can't find any solution
Hi i also got this problem before. Just wan to share. CWM not working with the froyo 2.2(maybe depend on phone) i also got same problem with ur.. Just upgrade to gingerbread first then use the CWM everthing should be fine..
Due to new users i cant post any link.
Just pm me who want link update to gingerbread or you all can just search in here because that i wan to post outside link. thanks for understand..
Ok thank you, good news. I will try to pass on ginger ...
I wanted to do a backup before, but hey, I would not do it and that's it ..
Well after many having difficulty in passing on gingerbread, CWM actually works ... better. Thank you for the tip.
At least he started ... but impossible to make a backup ... it makes me an error message .... pfff ....
There might still be a way...,!
there might still be an alternative way than taking your phone into a samsung service center.., if you can still boot to download mode.. you can still revive your phone...,! flash it with Odin using the Gingerbread rom...,
wish I can help...,
sorry for necroing this thread .. but this thing just happened to my 5570 .. after flashing cwm .. i dont have access to recovery .. just as the 1st post says ..
Guys ,
i was flashing a rom
everything was fine but when i choose to reboot the device

tried odin method also
reinstalled the usb drivers but no luck
i just can boot into emergency download mode ( vol up + vol down +home + power)
odin recognizes me at that mode
but stucks at setup connection ....
PLZ HELP !!!!
As per my knowledge if you can go to download mode its a soft brick. And are you flashing through one package if yes then don't use all four file and then try to flash

Hello, I don't mean to hijack your thread but I am unable to go into download mode on my phone too. I have been using CM 7.2 rc2 and CWM recovery. I need to flash the original firmware through odin to go back to the factory GB. Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Yes But Asad007 has said he was unable to go into normal download mode and instead tried to use the emergency download mode Which I think cannot be used to flash New Firmware....
i was just wandering around and i found this thread
hmm interesting....
I have exactly the same problem like you,odin find me only when i press volume up+ menu+ power wich is dump mode from what i know.
I buy a Usb Jig now i wait to receive it ,i think is the las thing that i can do ,then i will send to samsung warranty to replace the motherboard ,will see if will do that.
This is a hard brick so no method listed here don`t work because the screen is dead and computer see it only if you use dump mode

As some of you speak of changing motherboard ... does such procedure cost much? Or do you guys all make this via warranty?
i believe it's all covered under the warranty.
though i doubt that they actually change the motherboard.

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.
Hey please experts help me with my galaxy 3 i just bought one i had it 1 day, battery was discharged and after i charged it i got bootloop I tried many roms and i always got : bootloop, boot screen with GT-I5800 or screen Kernel panic upload mode. I cant go into recovery mode i dont know hy it dont works (its vol+,vol -, home, power isnt it?) I cant root it i cant do anything. Anybody have some ideas what to do or its bricked? If its important i can still go into download mode and flash it using Odin thats all i can do with this phone. Pls heeeelp.
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.

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.

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.
