[Q] Samsung Galaxy ACE Hard Bricked... Please help

Hey !
I was trying out the ROM Manager and was checking out the roms available in the list, i accidentally pressed a wrong model and my device was flashed...now my phone is hard bricked, it doesn't even switch on in any mode.
i cam across this link for Samsung Galaxy S
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838942
here he shows how to get the phone into download mode.
Wanted to know if the same procedure can be used for a Samsung Galaxy Ace ??
thanks in advance ...

an exact thing happen to me.but i manage to get my pc to detect the phone by pressing power+volume up+home (i dont know what mode).odin detected my phone but the flashing stuck at setup connection..because it was not in downloading mode i guess...
same as above, help needed!
additional info: pc and odin detect phone bot not kies, on kies it keep saying connecting....and theres no display on the phone

same here wont do anything

same with me, my phone wont start even on download mode so you cannot use odin.. please help.

same case , i accidently pressed wrong phone version and my phone was 'bricked'
any help ?

Same happened here! Has anyone found a solution??
Edit: All right. Here's what I did:
1. Remove the battery from the Galaxy Ace
2. Connect the USB cable to the PC as well as the phone
3. Hold: volume down + home + power buttons all together and insert the battery while you're doing that (could be a bit tricky but it works)
4. Now you should be in download mode with "downloading" on your screen
5. Open up Odin v4.38 and flash your stock firmware (find it on samfirmware)
6. That's it! It should be fully working now (at least it did for me)
Tell me if it works for you guys!

its okay alr , i bring it to the service center it claims my motherboard spoil , it changed a new one for me

@ramy.s - i tried what you did but still nothing happens.
@donomeoww - how much did it cost you for samsung to replace your motherboard? i know jtag can be an option to revive the unit but sadly the model is not yet supported, lucky for samsung s5570 though they already have jtag support on 1st week of april.

same thing happened to me.
did different methods to bring it to boot, even the two-prong diy to force to turn it on, still no go.
in the end, store replaced the device...with a bnew one of course.

Did anybody successfully revived bricked ACE??

Found expensive solution...
google "riff box samsung galaxy ace"

Samsung SGA revived
hey guys, i bricked my phone last april then the only solution to revive it is by replacing the motherboard or by using JTAG. btw JTAG support for samsung was released last May 12.

It just corrupts your motherboard
So a hardware issue can't be solved from home
Only option I guess is Service Center
Hope you have warranty
ROM Manager is a tricky tool
It hard bricks your phone if you do even a step wrong !
Ps ....Im just cautioning everyone so that it doesn't happen in future to others....

Maybe its related to pc , try uninstall kies and Google usbdeview and remove all drivers related to your tablet, then try connect again or install kies

Exactly what happens when you flash stock ROM from KIES?

Mine got stuck in a boot loop after the OTA update. I had to do a reset by holding down the power and up volume, when the samsung galaxy screen shows release the power button. You can then choose "wipe data/factory reset" and then reboot. Of course this wipes all user information, but at least it did fix the boot loop issue I had.

Thanks Everyone, sorry for my late reply.
I did a soft reset, by going into setting>security>Factory reset.
PC detected this time, everything working flawlessly.
I need some suggestion on rooting and unrooting to replace /system/fonts/lohit-kannada.ttf into a better font like(samsung-kannada.ttf), which is already in the same folder to render and read articles.
Please help me in that. I will post a thread in Q&A, if anyone knows, solution please reply there.
I bricked TAB2 and lead to this thread all because i rooted using Auto-CF and used Font changer (Root) application from playstore.
Thanks in advance.
