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!

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.
Hi there guys im completely new to this, as only the other day my father told me about rooting my phone and upgrading the software as only now the software on my phone has started to fail me and I think its time for a change.
On the phone its model number is the Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9003 so I'm not entirely sure which phone to choose on the Samsung Android devices on the forums, also I was told there was a noob guide on here on how to root the phone and then being able to upgrade it.
I apologize if I have posted in the wrong area, but any help would be extremely grateful, as my phone keeps switching itself off everything keeps crashing and basically its just acting like a piece of crap.
Thanks again

Never mind ive found it and figured it out now hehe
Next time , do a search on the forums before creating a new thread .

I have to post a serious "thank you!" to all the people who take the time to come here and help people like me.
Friday I rooted my HTC ONE S. Saturday I installed a new ROM (Miui) and had issues with the WiFi. Long story short, I installed 2 other ROMs and had the same issue. During the day, I somehow (stupid, I know) managed to completely erase everything on my phone - ROM and all. I tried for hours to read everything here that I could and fix it. At one point, I was certain I'd have to just go get a new phone because I had obviously completely screwed mine. But it's hard for me to just give up on a challenge.
During this process, I never had to register here and never had to post a question - search feature is great. Then last night, I finally got it working again. Not only that, but my phone works better now than before I rooted it. It's smoother, faster, more useful. Plus, ever since I got the phone, it's always had a hard time connecting to my home wifi. Now it doesn't.
The point to all of this is that if it weren't for all of you knowledgeable folks coming here and answering questions of people like me, then people like me would be in a lot of trouble and would have to settle for an otherwise bland Android experience.
So -- thanks to all of you!

I agree with you completely but not that they want their names mentioned, it would not hurt to mention them or the ones you remember or hit their thanks button cuz I too have had the greatest help by many members but 2 in my case of rooting for almost a week and a half.
Since you're new, here's a friendly tip. You don't need to make a thread with thanks. You can just the thanks button and help others wherever possible.
No "Thank you"-Threads. Use Thanks-Button individually then the ppl that helped you know that they did
Okay so I've been looking for a LONG TIME trying to find a solution to this problem, but have yet to find one, so if this thread is a duplicate issue, please move it to where it needs to be.
I have a Metro PCS Kyocera Hydro XTRM. I rooted the phone and it was fine. I will be the first one to tell you i am a major newbie when it comes to smartphone tweaking. I have been playing with electronics for years, and can pretty much build a desktop computer but newbie when it comes to android devices. So upon suggestion from a dev, I downloaded an app from the play store "BootUnlocker."
As Soon as I rebooted my phone, BAM! It gets stuck on the METRO PCS screen and stays there. I have pretty much tried everything I can think of. I have removed the battery a billion times and tried to hard reset the phone numerous times as well. And now, it won't even turn on but the LED power light on the front flashes when it's plugged in. I was thinking of trying Odin but when I plug the phone into the computer's USB port....it does absolutely nothing...doesn't read a thing.
I am hoping someone will be able to help with this soon as I would really like to know how to go about recovery on a phone that is completely Hard Bricked (as mine is now). If anyone has any suggestions, or has recovered a hard bricked xtrm, I would be so very thankful for your input.
Hi there! I'm afraid XDA doesn't have any information on that device that I can find. So....you can ask in our general Q&A section. I will ask a moderator to move your post there.
This is where it will go....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help?nocache=1&z=581026349682360
The only other suggestion I can give is to try searching the web for info on your device.
Hope you get it worked out!
never mind
Hello, I'm sorry beforehand if I'm not posting this in the right area, but I am kind of in a hurry and need this problem fixed ASAP. So here is the story:
My phone was running slow and the battery would drain out like crazy, so I read through a few forums here and there and decided I would FACTORY RESET my phone. Now might I mention, my phone was previously rooted by using a method from galaxyroots2 ( I picked the one for GT-I9100 ). I had ROOTED IT TWICE before. Both times work flawlessly. Now this time, for some very odd reason, my phone is stuck on a Screen which displays "Samsung GALAXY S II GT-I9100" with a little YELLOW TRIANGLE at the bottom. I pulled out the battery a few times but to no avail. Now I Am able to access DOWNLOAD MODE, but I cannot access the other mode where you hold the VOL button up rather than down. I'm kinda out of ideas, I figured this would take me 5 minutes like the last time. The KERNEL is a JEEBOO Kernel, I used Odin v1.85. I haven't performed any updates since it has been rooted.
NOW MY QUESTION IS : HOW CAN I GET PAST THE SCREEN WITH THE YELLOW TRIANGLE? and please dumb down things as much as possible. I'm not the greatest when it comes to these sort of things.
Hi,
You need to ask this in the Galaxy S2's help section. Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help
