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.

The phone automaticly turn on when I put the battery in, show the samsung logo, then go black and just vibrate. When i tried to go in recovery mode, it open just for a second, and go back to vibrate. What can i try?
Thanks.
Sorry for my bad English..

its a hard brick

changing motherboard is the only solution

No need to worry you have not hard bricked. The problem is with your ace+ power button. If you have warranty then go to service center they can fix it. If you are out of warranty then you can go to a local mobile repair shop and ask there for repair of power button.
I saw the same issue on my friend's ace plus and replacing the power button worked.

it could explain a lot but if its the power button, why his device shut down?
as i know, if the power button doesn't work doesn't mean it shouldn't boot

it will not show anything, it just keeps vibrating at the start, he is saying he managed to arrive at the logo, THEN it vibrates

do this -
1 pull out battery
2 press and hold power button forever {dont release it}!!!!
3 insert the battery
then then you will see that on first start it will boot till gt-s7500 logo and after that it will keep vibrating every 1 second
so it is a power button bug nothing else

Assume you didn't do anything to your tablet, try to boot while pressing on the back, near the center. or best: with the back cover removed, pressing directly on the battery connector while power on.
Safe Mode

With the device powered off, press and hold the Power button (located on the top edge) until the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro logo appears then release.
With the Samsung logo onscreen, press and hold the Volume Down button (located next to the Power button) until Safe mode appears in the lower left of the screen then release.
Note Device goes through the entire boot up process before showing Safe mode. This may take up to 45 seconds.
There may be an app interfering with bootup. Remove last app installed to see if that fixes it.
Reboot to get out of safe mode.
