[Q] Samsung Galaxy Ace not coming up

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.

[Q] I think my phone is bricked please help

I have ''just 5 spacer phone'' and i think it is bricked, i have rooted it but i have no custom recovery. So basically this happend i downloaded [root]Chainfire3D application and i tried to install the driver for it and my phone rebooted but it stuck there and it wont turn on and its all like in this picture http://www.bildites.lv/images/twnq5nwdsjk6z2q8wyd9.jpg and its just showing the phone model http://www.bildites.lv/images/x3l9xju3vb4e1ptx4ex8.jpg here are picture of ''about phone'' screenshot i took earlier when my phone still worked http://www.bildites.lv/images/8fomvsaerez4pukcs75a.jpg . I can't boot it in recovery mode because i tried to use volume up+power and volume down+power and all 3 together, it still just boots till the phone logo and nothing else happens it can stay like that for hours. In this link the guy has exactly the same problem, but he can boot in some download mode, i dont know what that means and i can't because my phone doesnt have physical home button. And exactly like he is i can't turn off my phone either only way to do it with removing baterry heres the link ----> http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...t-enter-recovery-mode-and-cant-boot-up-either

I tried to search for that phone, but I found that every information about that phone is in russian language. but I can't understand Russian.
so I tried to find something in English about that phone. all I could get was this link:-
4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=520024&st=200
which tells how you could flash a custom Rom, (which is not officially for this phone but for some other phone) if you are rooted.
But as this Rom is not for this phone , it contains bugs like you would not be able to open the camera etc.
so you can access the above link and read about it.
tell me what happens!!

I sent it to warranty, i think that will help, because it says root ruins warranty, right? But how can they tell it's rooted when it's not turning on?
Btw, how could i flash a custom rom on that phone, if i can't get into recovery mode? I flashed one on my HTC One V and i first had to intall the custom recovery, so i don't know how i'm to flash it on this phone. P.S. I checked google ''chainfire3d bricked my phone'' and i get an answer that its because its not compatible with Jelly Bean, **** why im never reading app descriptions? and why are they not putting an real warning that its not compatible with some android versions???? So i read some people say that i can delete the chainfire3d's driver manually through the SDK Manager, so i tried that, but in the cmd it didn't find my device, because it says that it was unplugged, and it was actually plugged but it was like turned off because i couldnt turn it on, so i guess thats why that failed for me I have all the right phone's driver intalled in my computer so that couldn't be the problem. if someone can tell me how i can get it to be ''PLUGGED IN'' when phone is actually off, but the USB cable is plugged?

Is your phone not at all turning on or is it turning on and stopping at the boot animation?

Just stopping at the boot animation, but it shows me anyway it's unplugged, even when its on the boot animation. P.S. i somehow got it to recovery mode, i cleaned the cache and did factory reset, but it still just stops at the boot animation.

The fact that there is a boot animation means that phone is not bricked hard.Usually pressing vol up and power button or volume up down and power and holding it for some more seconds brings up download mode or the default recovery. Never try to root phone without cwm recovery it just means that if something goes wrong then your phone is ruined. But I think that warranty will probably find out that you are rooted if they can find the recovery or access the partitions of the phone

Holding volume up+volume down+power my phone just vibrates for like 10 seconds and then stops and nothing happens? Volume up+power just turns the phone on to the boot animation and thats it.

Iespējams ka tur ir risinājums.

can you boot your phone in flashmode? use flashtool to flash stock rom, then root again

čali, tu cerēji, ka tik tikko iznākušam telefonam jau tādas lietas darīt? tas nav nekāds samsungs vai htc, kuram visi uzreiz taisa rootus un custom romus, šis ir tikai kārtējais ķīniešu ražojums. varbūt vari mēģināt pats ko izdarīt, ja saproti ko no šīm štellēm.

Nu ja zin ko dara, tad jau var, bet ja android pāršūšanā un root'ošanā nav pieredzes tad jau vienalga kas pa trubu viņam un cik sen iznākusi.
Es savam pirmajās minūtēs pēc izpakošanas uzliku root, nomainīju recovery un paaugstināju skaļumu caur mtk engineer settings. Nu tālāk arī tvīki. Un viss bez datora. Tā kā vajag tik zināt ko dari un kā

[HELP] Buttons don't work

Hi guys, I have a problem..
If anyone can help me, I appreciate
After I instal CM12 CAF, I try enable multi rom, but my phone stuck on boot loop..
I reboot using power button + vol up, and reinstalled the rom ..
After the phone boot, the power button and volume no longer work
And when put to charge the cell, even removing the cable it is locked as if still carrying
But I can enter the recovery mode and restart the emergency mode
Can someone tell me what the problem is my nexus?
It would be hardware problem?
I have done a clean install of the rom, installed the stock and no return to normal, I'm desperate. :crying:
Sorry my bad english.

No one? No hope?

Rebooting for infinity

Hi,
This is my first post so im sorry if I dont explain myself very well, I still practising English.
Anyway, yesterday I was chatting via whatsapp on my Nexus 5 16gb with CyanogenMod 12.1 and sundely it stars rebooting, i thought that i press the power button but when the Cyanogen logo was loading, it started to reboot again and again. When the cyanogen logo apears it reboot again. I can get into the phone a few times but it reboots again and I cant enter the twp to wipe or reinstall another room. I also tried to flash with ADB but i cant enter the recovery mode because it reboots again. I dont know why is this happenig or how can I fix it.
If anyone knows or is in the same trouble let me know thank you.
Regards, zatorr.

Sounds to me like u have the famed stuck power button that plagues the Nexus 5, if I were u, I would try getting into bootloader mode by holding volume down while it's booting, if that doesn't work and u continue to be stuck in a boot loop, then its def the power button, take the device apart, CAREFULLY, and spray some air into the power button to try and losen it, if that doesn't work then ur going to have to have it replaced

Anyway thanks for the info, now i know that its not the Rom or something like that.

Bricked S7

Hi, so i was trying to install the stock rom on my s7 that was running android 9 (and the power button is not working by the way, it was just pressed).
by doing this it removed the twrp recovery that i needed for going in download because if i have the button pressed and i go in download mode it cant click volume up to continue.
when it rebooted from the flashing it started to load the samsung logo for aroud 10 minutes, then it started saying that it was optimizing 39 apps but when it got on 39, the phone didnt reboot but reloaded the boot animation and with the led blue, it still done the same thing. so i just get the phone and reboot to recovery but something strange was happening, the blue led was still there.
after litteraly wait like all day to wait for this phone to turn off i turned it back on and the phone rebooted on recovery and it didnt want to boot to android. now i'm stuck with my phone that can go on dowload mode and recovery only and from the recovery it says on my pc that the phone/device its not reconized and i cant go anyway in download mode, only the triangle and adb does not work.
Anyone that can help me? i just need to go on download mode
