ok, so everyone probably knows that the samsung galaxy ace is a new phone. and yes i have one. it's been a month with me now and it works fine until now. I rooted it, and it worked great. I even installed setcpu and adjusted the mhz. so, i searched youtube for a custom kernel for it and the video says to backup your data on rom manager. so I did, then it froze on me and turn black and it doesn't turn on anymore. removed the battery already to no avail. please. any reply would help. I'm not that rich to buy a new one.

Edit deleted sorry
what do you mean deleted?
too bad man, i have experienced that same scenario with my galaxy which is 2weeks old and did the same thing you did back up my rom using rom manager and then just this afternoon my phone didnt respond anymore so i rushed to the store where i bought it then i told the same old make your own story telling then thats it they will be replacing a new galaxy after 3 days.. i think technicians wont know if its bricked by you installing or using some third party unless there is a physical damage on the phone like short circuits or the like... hope you solve your probs..
oh so there's really no fix for this huh?
i must say yes none as of the moment. its like this, our galaxy ace is just months old so lets not be so hasty when it comes to third party software that may cause instability to our phone or brick our phone... ill just wait for the devs to have an eye to our galaxy ace and make a new advancement to our unit.
Ok so a week or so ago I decided I was going to buy the Infuse, Ive wanted it forever and I got it. used. Which is fine, im ok with used its gorgeous.
But it was running 2.3.6 UCKJ2. Was running fine. My only issue was I couldnt tether and I really HAVE to for the next month or so.
After spending my entire 1 day off reading and researching I managed to use GTGs Ultimate Unbrick and restore it back to factory. Ok....good. Then I used Super One click to root.
Well now I can tether. But my gmail cant sync and some of my apps dont work unless I uninstall then reinstall repeatedly everytime I use them. If I turn on sync the phone freezes and I have to pull the battery. Then the time is 4 hours off.
Im not sure what I should do and im afraid to do anything because Im going to make it worse lol. I cant afford to brick my phone, so any advice is great.
Firmware 2.2.1
Baseband I997UCKD5
Kernal 2.6.32.9

Im not running through AT&T I am using H2O Wireless.
Thank you, and sorry if this has already been specifically addressed. I couldnt find anything this specific and Ive been searching for hours.

get off froyo. not saying thats your issue.....but if you were on 2.3.6 i would return to something close. gtg also has a rom called infused on here that is probably the most stable rom here. get that on your phone, see if you still have all that freezing and having to pull battery issues. if so i would lean toward the phone its self......again thats a very stable rom and not to many people have any of the issues you are describing.
flash away man.....its hard to brick this phone. and since you used the ultimate unbrick you can always do that if you dont like it or wont to return it to stock and send it back
If you're gonna flash a current ROM (which you should) may I recommend one. I rocked the Infused 2.3.3 for a long time, awesome and very stable but...I have found a better one the doctorz v8 ROM ported by dman.
Stable and awesome with everything working, except Swype, but if you uninstall it, then google Swype, download and install their beta version and it's fixed. I've heard that all the phone companies are crackin down on tethering sooooo, Good luck.

You forgot to factory reset after using ultimate unbrick. Its a must if your going to stay on stock.

I agree about getting off Froyo. The phone worked like a dream before I used Ultimate Unbrick and rooted it. Honestly I love Android and have never had to root one before. But I need to tether for the time being and it seemed the only way. I think I goofed lol.
Im worried about mucking it up more or losing my root by trying to install a new rom. But at this rate...im about to smash my phone (even though its my fault) so Ill try anything!!
Optimus I must have not read that part! I will try that and hopefully that helps a little until I work out this how to put a ROM on. I really appreciate the help. I use my phone for work, and it has 6 gmail accounts on it that currently I cant sync. God forbid I want to waste some time playing words with friends. It works for 5 minutes then I have to uninstall and reinstall.
I really appreciate you all taking the time to help. If I dont smash my phone or blow it up installing a new rom ill let you know how i make out. Thank you so much.
OK so when I did the factory reset I lost root. Tried to root again SEEMS to have worked only the tethering app now says not allowed by your carrier! First off I don't have at&t I use H2O secondly it worked before! If there was anyone in my area who did this sort of thing I wouldn't be making you poor people crazy with all these questions LOL thank you again for your help.
I have done it! Rooted and running serendipity! Thank you all so much! I can't even express how helpful you've been!

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 and I want Jellybean on it pretty bad. Jellybean is android 4.2, I think. Right now I have 4.0.4 and turned off OTA because I have a rooted stock ROM. My Friend has the same tablet, NOT rooted and took the latest OTA update. She still has 4.0.4 but a different kernel. Samsung is really dragging their butts about releasing Jellybean for this tablet, what is the problem?
I use Clockworkmod ROM manager to manage my ROMs, but originally rooted with Odin and a Windows 7 laptop. Does anybody actually have a GT-P5113 rooted and working on Jellybean yet or is this just a fantasy?
If so, could you please tell how you did it, source files, or at least a URL to the howto page?
Thanks.
I am using Jelly Bean 4.1.2. It's not 4.2 but is Jelly Bean. Look in the tab 2 development forum a couple topics down

Yeah? No kidding? Well that is better than what I got, I did a cyanogenmod through clockworkmod and it was pretty cool and all, but no jellybean. Still had 4.0.4. I messed with it for a while, but all my stuff was gone and even Titanium could not bring it back. Since the new ROM didn't do anything spectacular, I used CWM to put back my old rom and apps. I do not want to start all over again if it is not what I want.
I will go see if I can find it. If you can, give me some links to check out. Thanks! :good:

Yah, it is true, there are JB updates for this thing. All ROMs are rooted so there we go! What I found is:
[ROM][GT-P51XX][JB][4.1.2] CyanogenMod 10 official nightly builds
Now the instructions say to use the P5100 ROM but there are P5113 ROMS too. We also need Google Apps: Oh Christ, good luck figuring out which one you need.
For JB we need a CyanogenMod 10. Can be found here for P5113.
We get Android 4.1.2 and Jellybean! I did this last night from the Cyanogen mods in CWM and was not impressed, plus I did not read the instructions about using Titanium to backup only my user apps and NOT the data. NO system apps. Thus, I could not use Titanium to restore my stuff and was pretty pissed about starting all the way over and not even having JB. This is different and this I can do, besides, it is not even difficult.
I am definitely going for this but this time, I will do it right, get my apps backed up in Titanium the way it says, get the right ROM from the page I gave you the link for, and follow the instructions in the above link. I need some time for this but tomorrow I have to go and get my girl. She is close to 100 miles away and I got a roommate moving in for a few months, this will be hectic but I will get it done. Since doing this ROM will put me back to stock with all my stuff gone, I need my apps and google maps and navigator to get my baby, I restored back to my rooted Touch Wiz because everything works great. In the car, I use my Verizon Razr Maxx to get WiFi without that hot spot bill with an essential tool for rooted phones: wifi tether for root users. I turn this on, I have wifi for the tablet and can use Google Navigator on the big screen, not to mention great music and talk radio with Tune In, Pandora, or Slacker. If you got a rooted phone and a WiFi tablet, this is a Must Have app and it is totally free!
Thanks man. If anyone is interested in what happened, did it work, is it cool? Is it difficult, and do I have any tips, I will be glad to post them here, upon request. Wish me luck and thanks dude!
Hi Ohmster - Ok, I thought about giving you the rom I am using but decided you should see which one you want. Aside from that I am using

It seems to be working very well for me.
Good luck picking up your girl. Since you are where you are you shouldn't have any weather (snow) problems.

Yeah, that is the one I was looking at. Hey, did you backup your apps to Titanium? I never backed up "just downloaded apps without data before" and that is what I have to do or else I will be stuck trying to remember and install almost 400 apps. Did you use Titanium to restore your apps or did you just do the ROM and then do everything by hand after that? Oh, do you have a GT-P5113? Thanks!
I have a I777 ATT so I have a lot of my backups with titanium and just transfered them over to the Tab. Most of the time I just restore app and no data. Some I get them fresh from the market. Yes I am using Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 WiFi, GT-5113 same as you.

Yep, that's the one that I am looking at. I have had this thing on my screen for days, wanting to do it, but not wanting to lose the tab if I have to pickup my girl, she lives about 75 miles away and the huge 10.1" tab screen is excellent for Google Maps and better yet, Google Navigation. It gets me right there and if I am low on cash, I can tell it to bypass tolls. The Florida Turnpike and I95 pretty much run, side by side, so either is about the same drive, but the Turnpike will cost about $7-8 each way, only two lanes, no stops but for 50 mile apart rest areas. I95 is free and has more lanes but chokes with traffic during the week at rush hour.
The rest of you guys can skip this stuff in red, it is way off topic...
This really sucks man, she is watching over her sick dad, he has black lung on oxygen all the time, Virginia and the coal mines, you know. Then he is hospitalized with a heart attack. So, she stays at his side 24/7. Sleeping on the hospital floor and all that. The other kids, many older, do not bother this much. He comes home and she sleeps in his room, on the floor, by his side, to give medicine on schedule and in case he has any sort of complication. I tell her that she is burning the candle at both ends and will not make it, come down by me, let me pamper you for two days, decompress, and feel good. We will get you a self inflating air mattress to cover your sleeping needs, plus whatever kind of girly stuff she needs. It takes her a whole day and night to start to loosen up and feel better. Now she goes into the shower, next stop, Netflix in the bed for some fun and rest. They phone rings, it her family, telling her dad needs her, he is getting worse and she is the only one who can care for him proper. She made out a detailed notebook of prescription medication, dates, times, initials, just to make sure that he is cared for proper, and the lazy ass sister iwth 6 kids and all the rest of them cannot "take care of dad" so she has to come home, NOW. *@# Dammit, there goes our "happy time"
AND the next day of rest and pampering for my baby. She is a good chick, she makes me lay down and does her thing, she won't leave unless I am "so satisfied that I won't even look at another girl" (I don't look at other women anyway, I am old fashioned and never cheat.) and right back into the car we go, to take her home and then I drive back home again. I only got like 4 hours sleep the night before and I am way too tired to make this drive but I have to. She is *****ing the entire way to let her drive, but she does not have a license so I am a bit uncomfortable with that so I have to put up with her the whole time and she is right. (She owes fines from a long time ago and we do not have the money yet to pay them all off, payment plan.) I make it there, dad seems no worse than when we left or so it seems, and I drive home. Got pretty close too but then got nailed by a State Trooper, caught me not staying in my lane and everyone is doing 65-70 MPH, do 55 and you will get run over. I show my credentials and explain that I am way tired, the entire dad/girl/sick stuff so he gives me a sobriety test. Follow the pen with your eyes only. What is your education level, high school graduate? Recite the alphabet, NO singing, from A to Z. I pass both tests with ease. He says fatigue and intoxicated appear the same to a cop so I think maybe he will give me some sort of break, only 15 miles from home now. NO. On ticket for "Fail to stay in single lane", $166 plus one for "Unlawful speed 70 Interstate", $266. $432 in fines plus points, could this day get ANY worse?!! And I am a decent guy too. Never lie, never cheat, don't steal, faithful, the whole 9 yards! I need a ticket lawyer. ...sigh.
Yeah, here is the happy couple... Pictures Attached.
So yeah, that is exactly the ROM I am looking at, you say it is good, I am up for it. I did grab a Cyanogen 9 from inside of CWM, but that was not Jellybean and then everything was gone. ClockworkMod made the entire thing fast and easy, but did not offer cyanogen 10. I restored the previous backup.
Okay, so help me out here. The download links on that page do not work, man. The Google Apps are so numerous, which one did you install for your GT-P5113? I want to do this really bad but when I tried CMK9, CWM made it real easy, backed up the current system first, did the update really fast, wiped all caches, and I was left with, not much of anything. I did install Gapps and downloaded the Titanium backujp that I paid for, wanted to put my stuff back but Titanium could not find any backups. I forgot to do the setup and tell it to look on the SD card as well as Dropbox and G Drive, I think I am supposed to restore apps only, NO DATA. Once I put my gmail account back in, my contacts and all should come back and Titanium will do the apps so this should not be that hard.
I can download the ROM and install from SD card with CWM, should be a piece of cake, but I need good links to the ROM AND Gapps. Can you help me out? I want what you got. Thanks!
[Solved] 4.2.1 installed!
I finally got Jellybean installed with the Cyanogenmod ROM 10.1. This one works good.
cm-10-20121130-EXPERIMENTAL-p5110-CODEWORKX.zip
gapps-jb-20121130-signed.zip
This page tells exactly how to do it and where to get the files.
By the way, you can forget all that attach the cable to the PC stuff and just use Clockworkmod ROM manager to install this, piece of cake. Put the two files on sdcard, boot to recovery, wipe both caches, install the zip for the ROM and install the zip for gapps. Done!
Thanks everybody. Just wanted to close this thread properly.
I flew too close to the sun! I'm an amateur just living off of the greatness that makes this site popular, but I've been fortunate over the years. It finally caught up with me. I have put many, many ROMs on my Nexus 7, Droid X and SG3 without any problems. I think I became over confident in my abilities. When I first started I would read through the whole process and research before leaping but this time I must have missed a step.
The steps to death of a phone
1. Had Pure Google AOSP on my phone for months with no problems (loved it)
2. Thought I had worked a a trade for a Galaxy Note II, so I put the newest Samsung Version back on the phone
3. Trade didn't work out, so I was just going to keep it and try a few other ROMs
4. Used my same 'ol procedures for trying to FLASH, didn't work because of the new Samsung Version
5. Played around awhile got in put CleanRom 6, but the cellphone would not not connect(Stuck in roaming) crap happens
6. Took it back to stock. dialed *2767*3855# everything worked fine
7. Decided to try a few other ROMs
8. This time I during flashing I the phone posted some message from Samsung saying the phone had a improper OS, contact Samsung. (can't remember exact message) This is were I probably screwed up. I got a little lazy and was playing around with my Note 10.1 while things were loading on my SG3. I had a few problems getting back to CWM. Finally, and I'm not sure how, I got back into recovery.
9. Loaded crDroid, got a little confused on which modem to pick, I think I picked XXELLA, everything else seemed straight forward.
10. Package seemed to install
11. On final reboot, the phone went off and never came back... No CWM, No Download mode, Won't charge, zero response to Odin
Oh well, crap happens! I knew it was always a risk. I will send it to MobileTechVideos and see if he can help me out.
EDIT: Oh, I just wanted to say to everyone, I love this site and the people on it.... I could never say that in the "Developer" section because I didn't have enough post. I don't know what drives you people but keep it up! And please don't take my screw up as a negative against any ROM. This is surely my fault for getting lazy. Works for thousands but fails for me? That is me not the package. Will I stop? NO! I'm getting ready to put something on my Nexus 7 as I type this.
SECOND EDIT: I think BattsNotlncld found the problem in two minutes. I don't think there is a crDroid package for SCH-1535. I was on another webpage looking for packages and ran across crDroid.
Easy to see where you messed up. I've never heard of crDroid or XXELLA but a quick google search brought me to the Galaxy S III I9300 forum (aka International version). Flashing a ROM made for the International version will surely give you a hard brick.
Go to www.mobiletechvideos.com
They are the best at fixing bricked phones. I bricked my SGS2 and they had it back to me good as new in 10 days.

Yeap, it looks like in my hast to download packages, I slipped into the I9300 world and left my SCH-1535 world. I just recreated my download chain and I clicked on a external link from another webpage to get to the crDroid download. Stupid hurts. I should have stopped when I saw the modem question, but I didn't.
damn this is tough to see. sorry to read about this.
after a mistake like this you will be more careful, bricked an HTC Droid Eris (my first smartphone) and also loaded a leaked firmware, which, stopped us from getting root, which came about a week after that new leaked firmware (lesson learned).
hope to see you back in action soon
thanks
Thanks for taking the time to post your follies! As a novice, I will remember your tale and read everything to the point of understanding before flashing anything.
I've been a long time user of the site & just signed up a few days ago lol I've seen this many times.
Yeah, international versions will brick your phone. That's why it's extremely hard to port an international rom
Good luck man! But like bigtom said, mobiletechvideos can fix almost anything.

It's very refreshing to see a user take responsibility and not whine and complain for their mistake. I commend you for that.
With that being said it sucks to see this happen to you. I have never heard of mobiletechvideos.com before this thread but did some looking and it's impressive what they promise. (damn good reviews to back it up too) Looks like it's $60 or so plus shipping to get it up and running again, sounds like a good deal to me.
Good luck, let us know what you do!

I bricked my SG3 just before Christmas and had it back from mobiletechvideos.com before New Years Eve. Pretty good for standard shipping and holiday season!
Mailing it off tomorrow! I bought a Note 2 until my SG3 gets fixed. I had to do something, because I don't have a home phone and my wife travels frequently. It is extremely hard to time an airport pickup without a cellphone. I love my SG3 but I really like the Note 2. I will be selling one in a few weeks. Which one? ....... we will see!

Some of the best lessons are the ones learned the hard way... but still sucks!
When I got my S3, coming from a HTC Incredible, the biggest concern I had was how big the phone was.... now I would totally consider the Note2. Post which way you decide!

You have any updates??
I feel your pain....hard bricked mine on Apr. 1, shipped it off to MTV on Apr. 3, and just found out today it'll be shipped back this week, so.... $95 lesson learned lol
Recently i got myself my first smarthphone (yay!) it wasn't a very good one though GT-S6102: 290 MB ram and pretty small and can barely do anything. I always kept off from the Rooting stuff and getting other roms stuff since i was scared of messing up but after a while i got really curious (and bored) and decided to root my phone - success!. No issues, nothing. Then i decided to install a new rom to see how much of a performance boost it can give you, but... there the problems started... i turned on my phone - everything went fine but when i tried to click on the android dude that shows up when you turn your phone on for the first time - nothing happened... I thought, okay. Maybe it's just a bad ROM or something, so i removed the Battery to turn the phone off and installed another ROM - same results. I was starting to get scared because i knew that i have no warranty anymore because of the root. I installed quite a few different ROMs - same results. I started googling the problem but couldn't find much and i decided to get my old ROM back - i used something called Odin for that and yeah! i successfully got back my good 'ol rom, yet the touchscreen remains unresponsive. So my question is - is this even fixable? Or did i screw my phone in just 5 days? I really hope that there is a fix to that.
Also if replying i would recommend to explain it on a noob level because i'm pretty bad with these things as i'm new to them.
Thank you in advance!
Hi,
There is a chance you can get yourself up and running but it is possible that some hardware got borked
But this doesn't always mean you can't send it in for warranty, to find out more it is best to ask your question in a thread dedicated to your device, you will find a great q&a thread here

Best of luck!
