I also have the same issue. I gave to Samsung service and they also returned saying Motherboard has to be replaced for Rs 7000. I have the i589 PDA files for ODIN and tried reflashing in Download mode, but flash not progressing and ending as Failure.
Can anyone please advise?

When flashing make sure to wipe everything!
Do it as follow
Wipe Data, Factory Reset
Wipe All Data – Preflash
Wipe Cache
Wipe Davik Cache
Then just reboot.

I Went to the service center and they just simply reinstalled the stock rom and charged Rs.200 only.
I am still not able to find working indian firmware.
Not much mods or anything available for this device.

I tried that but no success.
Also there is a temp. CWM available which neither makes a perfect nandroid backup nor wipes dalvik cache.no response on chosing wipe dalvik cache.

[Q] How to boot into safe mode to recover boot loop??

:crying: Dear sir/s,
I own samsung galaxy ace duos GT s6802 (Android 2.3.6 running Gingerbread) . It's been rooted and now cause of an app "system tuner" with which I overclocked it,the device got into boot loop. I searched the forum thoroughly and tried many key combinations to boot into safe mode but no success.
I'm able to reach into recovery mode but factory reset/wipe data didn't helped.
So I request you people if any one owning the same device knows the trick to get into safe mode,please let me know.
Any easy or alternate method to overcome boot loop is also welcome.
Thanks for sincere help.
Note:The trick to get into safe mode varies from one device to other so please be specific with my device...

I guess the user also needs to format data,cache and system under "mounts and storage" menu before installing the firmware
How????

Since you can boot into recovery you can download the stock rom and flash it from the recovery mode.
Are you able to use Odin for your device to flash a stock ROM+kernel ?
Download Odin and AriesVEops, flash your stock rom (download it via sammobile.com)
Stuck with the samsung logo, needs stock ROM
Hello, I'm new here and in dire need of anybody's help. I own a GT-S6802 and I'm stuck with the samsung logo on start-up. How do I get it working again? Anybody, help PLEASE! If you could provide me with a file of the stock ROM and a step by step instruction on how to install it back, it would really be appreciated. Here are the things I already did:
-rooted the phone - successful.
-tried to unlink files from the rom using titanium back-up, the phone rebooted but stuck with the samsung logo.
-tried to wipe the data, still the same.
-tried to intall firmware update using odin-nothing happens.
The phones is still under warranty but I believe I've already voided it. :crying:

[Q][Help][Galaxy S6312]Not able to exit from CWM v6.0.3.2 recovery mode

Hi every1! I really want some help. I have Samsung Galaxy S6312 and installed CWM v6.0.3.2 one year ago but didn't flash any rom.
I did factory reset of my phone using recovery yesterday and all went well. But now the problem is it always boots into recovery mode on power up or system boot.
What should I do now ?
I am still able to make a complete backup of my phone and can restore it but again it always boots in to recovery mode.
PS: The first time I installed CWM, the same problem had occurred but I was able to system boot by clearing dalvik cache and wipe partition. But this time even it is not working.
Please help, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

[ProblemSolved]I think the problem was with the CWM that I had installed using terminal commands. So I again flashed the cwm but this time using Odin.
links that helped me:
flashing using odin:

how to use odin :

Thank you all.

Samsung J700h Dead or What?

Hi,
I want to ask about my phone j700h i dont know if dead or what.
first my phone firmware is Marshamallow then i downloaded A5 Port rom and install and success and then i saw "Speed Fusion Remix " i think its cool so i downloaded and create backup using TWRP and install "Speed Fusion Remix " and Success and when i use the "Speed Fusion Remix " i tried gps test apps in My Room and i saw slow locking location then a few hours i tried to go back to A5 Port Rom using Restore TWRP and success boot. and i tried to GPS test in my Room but also slow and i tried outside my house and then there is a bunch of GPS satellite so i think "Speed Fusion Remix ROM" have no problems. Once Again i tried to Flash "Speed Fusion Remix ROM" and after installation my phone went BLACK it won't charge, I can't go to Recovery mode but i can go to Download Mode. So i downloaded he Official Firmware J7 then Flash Using ODIN software and Success flash, but it won't BOOT and Black Screen also. I cant Go to Recovery, Only DownloadMode is Function.
WHY? Can you Help Me?
Did you do a full wipe - data, system, cache, dalvik cache - before flashing with Odin?
Odin defaults to 'upgrade' while preserving data.
If you didn't wipe before the Odin flash you now have a 'mix' of roms on your fon.
Edit
First try to reinstall TWRP using Odin.
If that fails proceed as below.
Since you can't go into recovery to wipe anymore, retry Odin but select Re-Partition under options.
If that fails use SmartSwitch emergency recovery.
You're such a flash whore! . Like me :silly:
Good Luck!

[Q] Stuck on boot loop and cannot flash other ROM

Hello i recently use SlimLP rom until suddenly it was stuck on boot loop . I thought that it must be the problem of the custom ROM and i try to flash other ROM but it seems that i can't proceed to the procedure of wipe data/factory reset because it kept restarting after i checked that option . wiping dalvik cache is fine though . I also did format/data on my solo attempt to fix it but still it won't work.After reading some forum I decided to flash stock firmware but it kept failing on Odin . anyone know what might be the problem of this ? Did I just hardbricked my tab to the point of can't be repaired ? thanks in advance
Try to delete everything in data manually through twrp file manager (Advanced->File Manager)

I can't change my rom, wipe / format doesn't work. Nothing changed after flashing with Odin.
16 GB Tab 2 have a known faulty EMMC (MAG2GA). It can happen, that your EMMC get “read only”, so you can’t perform any write actions (also you can’t format) anymore.
From the EMMC data sheet:
5.1.7 End of Life Management:
The end of device life time is defined when there is no more available reserved block for bad block management in the device. When the device reaches to end of its life time, device shall change its state to permanent write protection state. In this case, write operation is not allowed any more but read operation are still allowed.
But, reliability of the operation can not be guaranteed after end of life.
On a faulty EMMC firmware it happens a lot faster.
What are the symptoms?
Uninstalled apps and deleted files are back after a rebootFormating the storage doesn’t work (after reboot the old rom and apps are back)You can flash whatever you like via Odin - it showes “passed” but after reboot nothing changed (e.g. still no StockRom or still the old Recovery you had previously installed)… there might be some more, but only to mention some …
In most cases, the issue can be fixed by a EMMC firmware update, but you need someone who’s able to do it (possible via ISP, nothing you can do esylie at home yourself). In some bad cases you need to find someone who can replace your EMMC.
