[Q] Galaxy Ace Died after installing CWM with odin [please help]

Hi,
Please help me.
I tried to install CWM in my galaxy ace using "Odin".
I followed correct steps and odin showed "pass" at last.
but now my phone is not booting.
It will load upto "GALAXY Ace GT-S5830....." scree and nothing is happening after that.
I am not able to boot into recovery also now.
How I can recover my phone back?
Please help me.

Flash everything back to stock with Odin. You should make sure repartition is checked before flashing. When you try to flash cwm through Odin, redownload the files and try again.

Thanks for replying, but sorry to ask you one more doubt (may be too n00b qn.)
what do you mean by "flash everything"?
where I can get all those files for Ace?

Sorry took soo long to reply, was at work. Can you post a link to the method you used to flash cwm? Just want to make sure I point you to the correct firmware.

I have used the method at
acetips.wordpress.com/2011/10/01/install-cwm-ace-froyo
As it didn't worked, I used some other "ops" file, which brick my phone.
Can I use any samsung upgrade method ( as I have done earlier in my sonyericsson w8 using SEUS) ?
Or how can I fully flash and make it alive?

Try this...!
Hey no phone dies so easily, so, follow the process mentioned in the given link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145

You know how to use odin get you ops file and further download the stock rom on
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/

thanks friends.
But now I am not able to get into the recovery mode. will it get fixed after flashing the latest firmware?
What is the really working method to get CWM recovery for ACE?

It should work again if u flashed the stock because the stock recovery is included in the stock rom =)

please help me.
my phone is still not turning on, even after flashing stock firmware using odin.
How can i get it back?

my ace is now alive
Thank god!!! at last, my phone is alive.
Now dear friends, do u know any guaranteed to work -cwm flashing methods for ace?

Since you have flashed stock, are you able to get into stock recovery?

Before you flash CWM Recovery, you need to ROOT ur phone, download upd_1.zip file from the link that I provided in the previous post and flash it from Stock recovery.

I agree. Though not totally necessary, it does help. Also enable adb.

How to recover from boot loop?

I was flashing the official ROM 2.3.5 Gingerbread using odin 3.07 for my Galaxy SL i9003 but ended up in boot loop.
Before the boot loop starts, it shows that it can't access to ' /system/csc/SER/system/ ' as in the picture.
How do I solve this?

Usually bootloop can be solved by restoring backup or restart from the beginning. Well, I'm no Dev so I don't know what it meant.

Try to wipe all data again, it always helps me. And if it doesn't work, flash xxkph with pit, let the phone start and then again go into download mode and flash lf2.

Im not really an expert but i'll try..
Can you enter odin mode? If yes, then you can flash your stock HC rom.. but guessing from your problem.. do you know how to use odin? If dont, try to do some research.. so heres my tip..
1. Find your stock HC firmware at www.samfirmware.com
2. Flash the firmware via odin..
3. (From experience) it will boot loop in the samsung animation
4. Dont worry.. enter recovery and do both wipes
5. Your boot will now proceed..
BEFORE I FORGET.. WIPING IS SAFE ON STOCK HC ROM.. DO NOT WIPE FROM STOCK ICS ROM.. I REPEAT DO NOT WIPE FROM STOCK ICS ROM
PEOPLE OUT THERE.. PLEASE CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG..
IM JUST HELPING OUR FRIEND HERE..

edit : its not working. failed flashing with odin. i dunno what happen. is there any other solution. my tab is not rooted and for sure usb debugging also off. maybe flashing with odin failed because usb debugging is off right.

[Q] after update to JB, not able to downgrade

Since upgrading to JB 4.1.2, I am not able to downgrade to ICS. After the flashing ICS via odin or for that matter mobile odin, is complete, it goes into a boot loop. Only way way out was again flash Jelly bean, it worked. Is there any firmware with full components like pda separate file, CSC separate file and phone separate file? I have heard that we need to flash these separate files via odin to downgrade. can anybody give a download link for the same?

Do you have a CWM back-up from a previous ROM?

you must go to stock ricovery ( with power + volum up ) and then wipe data
( your data are remove ( factory riset )
sorry for my bad ENGLISH

But I have heard that if one wipes factory reset through stock recovery, I am afraid one is liable to get bricked devices.

I would research the factory reset option. It shouldn't brick your device.

NO! Wipe data in STOCK recovery brick your device, but if you wipe in CWM you are safe.
For downgrade use this guide:

Just to make it clear.. wiping from stock is Safe IF you are in HC or JB ( someone said its safe ) but a big NO in ICS because it causes the tab to be bricked.. wiping from CWM on all roms is SAFE.. pls.. get your facts right..

If you want to downgrade from official JB to official ICS, you have to have .pit file
You can search pit file for P6200 in XDA and using odin to flash official ICS with option re-partition checked
First time, when my friend downgrade without .pit file, tab got stuck at SS logo even wipe everything fully. With .pit file, it succeeded

Is it necessary to have three different files ie pda, phone and csc when using pit file eith repartition checked?
Sent from my GT-P6200 using xda premium

No, just ICS Stock Rom with .pit file
P6200 pit file in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886) works fine

You can downgrade to HC, do wipes and flash ICS.

i usually do encounter this on my 7.7 when i flash hc from ics...what i did was wipe the device using cwm after flashing the older firmware to fix the bootloop...
my friend have tab 7 plus and i'm planning to flash jb on it...is the stock JB recovery free from the brickbug?

I used the pit file and the ics stock and flashed using odin, the flashing went off smoothly with odin saying success. But after booting mine stuck at the samsung animation for eternity. Again I had no other alternative than flash jb back again.

Did you check option re-partition in Odin?
By the way, stuck at SS logo is quite often happened if you did not wipe. You should try to perform full wipe.
There is an issue related to wipe using ICS stock recovery, you should use Odin to flash CWM recovery (without .pit file) and use CWM recovery to wipe.

when you are stuck in bootloop flash cwm recovery and do a full wipe..that will fix it...avoid full reset using stock recovery to prevent brickbug

Phone stuck in Bootloop.. help!

I tried flashing a 4.1 rom and started getting a bootloop into recovery. I flashed the 2.3.6 DDLF2 rom and the phone comes up till the bootscreen and the reboots. Any help?

If you have backup... Restore it. If not you need to flash stock rom with flashtool

If you mean Odin(which is the flashtool for Samsung), I have tried using it to flash stock firmware but I get a bootloop. If it is anything else please specify or give a link.

You need to flash stock rom I don't have Samsung phone so I don't have link but search a bit you will get it.... Somewhere!

Flash full DDLF2 from following link with odin with pit/pda/modem/csc/bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2329200
Use only Odin 1.85, download from above link.
Once booted, go to the recovery Select Factory Reset, Reboot.
Remove the battery boot the phone into download mode and Flash DDLF2 again.
The procedure is if you are coming from other custom rom with different partition then Flash twice, factory reset inbetween.
