[Q] galaxy ace

i was flashing my phone back to stock rom gb and it would not reboot got stuck at the samsung logo .. so i finally got it to go into download mode but it is now stuck there .. can someone give me some kind of help .. i have flashed this thing many times but never had this problem

There is a galaxy ace forum mate what do you mean by stuck in download mode? Did you flash a rom and didn't reboot automatically therefore stuck in download mode? Or did you boot into download mode but you want to get out of it but can't(if so, just remove the battery)?

You don't know what download mode is? Have you really tried to flash anything mate?
To flash anything through odin you need to be in download mode first. Try flashing a stock galaxy ace rom and see if it solves your problem. There is a galaxy ace section, try to search for it mate and i advice you to read before attempting to flash anything.
When you said you flash something, you mean through CWM? How did you get CWM if you didn't even know what download mode is?
Anyway, you are better of reading guides on how to flash a galaxy ace. It's pretty simple

[Q] Galaxy 3 not booting

Hi,
My Galaxy 3 suddenly stopped booting up (continuously shows Samsung logo) so I have decided to go for below options:
1. Install a custom rom (FROYO - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037459).
2. Steps to do that are given in above mentioned link. But do I need to root my device before doing that?
3. Go to samsung service center.
Have you encountered this problem this before, what would you suggest me?

instal custom ROM first.

Can you access recovery or download mode?

Guys, Sorry for the late response.
I am able to access download mode but not recovery mode.
And I tried to install custom Rom (Froyo - ATROM20-I5801DDJP2.tar) but with no success. I used ODIN (apollo_0531.ops). The status in ODIN showed passed after approx 6 min and my phone rebooted twice during the process. The second time my phone rebooted and it seems to be hung during booting (It constantly displayed Samsung Logo endlessly).
Then I installed G3MOD kernel. After rebooting it opens G3MOD screen, the loading icon of G3MOD goes 100% but it gets stuck there.
Again I installed above mentioned custom rom but it shows the Samsung logo endlessly during booting.
My Question now is:
1. Do I need to root my phone first? ( I read that by using ODIN you do not need to do that separately)
2. As I mentioned I am not able to go to recovery mode(Vol button up and down both+Power+Home). Is there a problem with my phone. Were you able to do this?
3. What should I do next.

Why do you want to install custom firmware? It would be better to install (with Odin) stock samsung ecalir or froyo firmware, particulary if you plan to go to Samsung service center.
Rooting your phone wont help to resolve your situation.

If you are not able to access recovery mode, then there must be internal problem. Better go to Samsung Care. Or I wonder there is hard reset for SG3?

Thanks

I went to service center and they installed Froyo :victory:. I am wondering how did they do that when the recovery mode option was not showing up?
Anyways thank you guys for you suggestions :good:. One thing I noticed is that the Hindi fonts are not recognizable . Do you know how to resolve this? I read that rooting is required? is this correct?

Well I'm afraid I can't help you about Hindi fonts. But I was wondering how they solve this kind of issues where recovery itself is inaccessible?

Mightve bricked my P5113

Hi, i tried updating my tab to the leaked 4.1 OTA and after following the instructions my tab wont boot. It will only play the boot animation then hang at the samsung logo for about ten minutes then go black. I cant get it into download or recovery mode, but when i plug it into the wall it shows the battery icon. Also odin recognises the tab while its hanging at the samsung logo.. i have heard talk of a usb jig but not for this tablet.. Can anyone offer any advice? thanks in advance

If Odin sees it a USB jig isn't needed.. Just flash the stock f/w tar and you're good
EDIT: fail... No download mode... Umm... Sounds like you're in a bootloop... No idea why recovery and download wouldnt work tho...

The good news is that the device probably isn't bricked. If it was unfixably bricked you shouldn't even see the boot animation.
It's figuring out how to fix it that's the hard part.
What you've clearly done as far as the ROM though is installed the rom improperly somehow. Might have missed as step in the process, or the ROM could have just been a bad download and no fault of your own. These things happen to the best of us.
Assuming that clockworkmod recovery is still installed, and you just can't get into it, you might try to see if you can access it using adb from your computer.
If you have abd installed boot the device as far as it'll go then see if you can connect to it with adb and run this command...
abd reboot recovery
Also try
adb reboot boot loader
If you don't have adb installed read this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853159
If that doesn't work (and I only give it a 50-50 shot at best as adb isn't always useful during the boot process, which is where you are stuck....then we'll think of something else.
Also please describe the steps you are using to try and get into recovery just to make sure you're trying it the right way.
And after it gets stuck at the Samsung screen are you turning it off completely by holding the power, volume up, and volume down all at once? That should shut the device off completely, which is where you need to be before trying to boot into recovery.

Thank you both! ! I managed to get it going

Please share how you got it fixed and what ended up working.
That way when someone else Google's the same probelm a year from now and finds this thread, he'll have the answer waiting for him. (See my signature cartoon from XKDC.com for a comical represensation of why not explaining what the outcome was is annoying)
Glad it got working!

Well i asked in the thread for that rom and it was suggested that the battery needed charging, I didnt think this was the case cuz my tab had been plugged in to the wall for about an hour already but I let it sit for a couple hours and it finally booted although it said there was 15% power left... its still charging really slow but it boots now!

Use download mode and Odin and flash stock ROM.

Flashed the wrong twrp

Hello, i flashed the twrp for the s8 on a s8+, i know that is a noob error, but what i can do now?...
The problem is that now the touch screen is unresponsive. It does literally nothing.
I am stuck at the screen that says "Keep System Read only?" where I have to "Swipe to Unlock Modifications", but find myself unable to do so because my touch screen doesn't let me swipe!
I tried to soft reboot and did not help.
Please help

If you can get back into download mode try and reflash twrp s8+ version.

I'm not really sure what the problem is? Like the post says above reboot into download mode and re-flash TWRP?
Are you having problems getting into download mode?

TWRP is device specific so if you flash the wrong one you will have some issues.
