[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.

First, have you ever gone into recovery and now you just cant no matter what you try? Or you never had gone into recovery?
Also:
What ROM are you running?
It was know that last Galnet MIUI "stable" build was making Recovery unnacessible, if you are in that case go Odin sorry no can do.
If you are not on Galnet "stable MIUI" then:
Recovery(The 3 button):
1.-Press Power Button and Volume up and down
2.-When samsung screen appears let got the power button ONLY while mantaining the vol up+down pressed still
3.- about 6 more secs and let go also the vol up and vol down.
4.-You are in recovery.
5.- If you are not pull battery and try again.
Not working? then probably the ROM you where running made Recovery unnacesible too so theres Odin

I was having the same trouble, i flashed MIUI stable rom xD but its now removed from thread right?
Anyways thanks!
I was having trouble going into recovery haha very different from my previous phone (Atrix)

[HELP] about rooting

i rooted my phone before with amits universal GB CF
i noticed that the 3 button recovery dont work anymore... is this normal? do i have to click CWM always in apps drawer instead of the 3 button to go into recover?
secondly, my brother wants his i9003 rooted too
he is also on DXKP9, and DONT want another firmware on his phone like XXKPQ
i was planning on using UC-Kernel on it, would it be possible that it will work on stock DXKP9 without issues? i read that UC-kernel already has CF.ROOT and touch CWM Recovery with it but its for XXKPQ..... interested to know on issues related to DXKP9 if any before i flash.
and lastly...whats the difference with UC-Kernel v9 1009...2009 and 3009 ?

IMP : Before you do anything make a backup
1) No that is not normal. May be you aren't pressing the buttons properly.
2) Follow the procedure to go to recovery. Press the Volume Up key + Menu key and then pressing the former two keys you need to power ON the device after which you will see the recovery screen.
3) I think UC-Kernal is universal. May be it works. Im not sure. Why dont you try and let others know ? or you can wait till someone who has flashed that firmware and UC-Kernel to answer.
4) And about UC-Kernel v9 1009...2009 and 3009 , those are 3 test versions of the kernel with different voltages supplied. For more details on that check this post by "inciongd". He's explained it beautifully.

Do not do the VOL UP+MENU+POWER while your device is ON. Turn it OFF and then press VOL UP+MENU first then hold the POWER button until you see the samsung logo or until CWM recovery loads up. I was not able to go to recovery mode/download mode until I turn off my device.

thanks for the replies guys
but i already those 3 buttons a few times with phone turned off...already know about this since i go to recovery long ago without CWM when i do hard reset
but im new to CWM and rooting
so i had cleared cache and dalvik cache a few times already
i can only go to recovery via the CWM app
the 3 button recovery dont work for me
my buttons are all working...
the problem is when i do the 3 button recovery, it goes to samsung logo, fades for a few seconds then goes back to samsung logo again...it just vibrates and go back to samsung logo if i keep holding on.
anyone tried the universal GB amit CF.root with touch recovery and experienced the same?

U have the extended power menu too..
but since u mentioned logo fading thingy...
Dude ur pressing the buttons too long..
as soon as u see the samsung logo appear LEAVE the buttons..u will enter the recovery mode..

nope i dont have extended power menu
im not using any custom roms with those, just stock DXKP9
before if i hold it long,it will bring me to recovery mode before i release
after the rooting with universal by amit...it will fade and just boot up
i tried your advice to release it in samsung logo and it will only boot up, tried a few times
also tried releasing it when it starts to fade,also boots up
no recovery

Yeah, do a data factory reset Boot into Recovery Mode by holding down Power and Volume Up buttons together until the screen turns on. When the Samsung logo appears, let go of the Power button but keep holding down the Volume Up button until the device boots into recovery. In Recovery Mode, select Wipe data/Factory reset and select Yes on next screen. Select Reboot system now to reboot the tablet

All of a sudden today my Tab2 started doing this. I have tried to do the factory reset but it goes from the select Yes screen to rebooting again. What's next? It is driving me nuts! It won't stop!!

not really sure, usually a factory reset solves the problem.

[Q] Problem turning on my phone

Before this,my phone got a problem but it was fixed(bootlooping)
But then about 6 months later a new problem happened,I press the power button,it shows this,then vibrates and freezes....just like that.
I'm not sure if the image is loaded because I had to use my tablet for a while.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? And my phone is not rooted btw.

This is a bootloop issue just like cwm bootloop,your device is soft bricked and you can repair it by flashing the stock firmware of your country using odin,don't worry,see in my signature the way to install your stock firmware(CWM BOOTLOOP FIX)

from an older post i know from a member here that if the phone keeps looping but vibrating (it vibrates every loop) its because the power button is stuck, maybe this helps you
