Hi, I'm new on this forum and also a newbie, so here's my problem, attempting to flash CWM on my Galxay tab(Vodafone, Spain), I soft-bricked it. When I try to boot it, it just loops from samsung logo to vodafone logo, and it's showing a rainbow on samsung logo.
I found Unbrick Guide, and I was wondering if that method would work in my case.
My question: Will the soft unbrick method work in my case?
Thanks in advance.

ok..i checked unlock root's page. Anyways i assume you got bootlooped after flashing cwm. Never mind. Just flash the official stock rom using odin and do that carefully and then root properly. check using root checker app from google playstore and then try to flash cwm

The easiest way would be to dwonload rom manager app from google play and select flash clockwork mod and follow the on screen instructions

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.

Could be.. dude if your on stock you have to lock your bootloader again to do the official HTC updates ... U do this by connecting your phone to the pc in fastboot and in cmd type
Fastboot OEM lock

You should be using stock recovery and not clockworkmod. So flash stock recovery and you need to lock your bootloader.
This tool has the option to flash recovery, at least that is what I used.

My Hasoon's All in one tool, has that option. Also you can search the web for that tool app. I tried to upload stock recovery, but looks like it exeeds the limit of 8 MB. Give me your email, I will send it to you.

Please consider putting this up on fileshare site ..
I also have the Hasoon tool and in newest version you can only flash stock recovery if you have it yourself, it is not included.
Have been looking for the stock recovery myself but failed to find it.

Fantastic.
I flashed this recovery using the tool and rebooted the phone.
Then i installed the OTA update (No need to relock bootloader)
Then i reinstalled CWM and SuperSU .
Now my phone is at 2.31 and rooted.
Sweet that i dont have to listen to the SMS tone over and over again just informing me that there is a firmware update available.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

If you achieved root then why not just download ROM manager (play store) and flash CWM through the app or if you want TWRP instead which I recommend the get the goo app from the play store and flash TWRP through that app in the same manner.

Hi,
This happened to me too, I'm assuming that you are trying to do the process manually or with a 1-click utility?
For me it worked with the 1-click utility that I found in the droidrzr forum's.

CWM Recovery
These are the 2 utilities,
The first one is only to install CWM
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...-twrp-recovery-1-click-ver3-updated-52913-v5/
This worked perfect for me after failing with other methods.
This other utility is the "Matt Utility" you should download it, it's a big file (610 mbytes) but it's good to have it in your computer just in case.

Were you able to root your phone?
I have seen root methods where you first install recovery, then flash a root zip.
So is it real that you need root to install that recovery?
