Hello all. I'm having trouble with a galaxy ace, in that it seems very fussy about which ROMs it will run. Bought it about 6mo ago from Optus Australia on prepaid and unlocked it to use on another network. I tried at the time to upload a custom ROM, but failed and ended up having to re-load it with Odin 4.38 and the only images I could then find, which are these:
APBOOT_S5830XXKPH_CL260130_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5
CODE_S5830XXKPH_CL260130_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5
CSC_S5830XXKPH_CL260130_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5
MODEM_S5830XXKPH_CL260130_REV03.tar.md5
Just recently the device has been unstable so I looked around and found the stable CM 7.2 ROM recently released (cm-7.2.0-cooper.zip) so I grabbed that, installed CWM 5.0.2.6, ran a backup and tried to install it. Device only got as far as the black boot screen with the word Android in uppercase doublespaced and hung.
Booted back into CWM and tried to restore, got the MD5 checksum error. Fixed the nandroid.md5 and tried again, and the device then hung at the initial boot screen for the stock rom (says Samsing Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 or similar).
Back to Odin. Found a recent version (4.42) and a one package ROM, S5830XWKT7_S5830OPPKS6_S5830XWKT3_HOME.tar.md5 and loaded this to the handset. This one gives me an Optus spashscreen followed by the sort of pulsing SAMSUNG text in an infinite loop.
Eventually tried the flasher and ROM I used six months ago (at the top of the thread) and was able to get the phone to boot successfully. Reinstalled the rooting package, reinstalled CWM5 and managed to restore just data out of the advanced backup/restore menu.
So I'm back to where I started, only six hours worse off Has anyone got any idea why this isn't working for me, or any good suggestions of how to proceed?
Cheers,
Alex
Are you sure you are using the GT-S5830 and not the Gt-S5830i ?
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace.
damn, that would be a stupid mistake
No, I'm not absolutely positive. The sticker under the battery says GT-S5830, but from a look at google images the two handsets appear identical? How can I establish for sure?

Use Odin 4.38, download any one package firmware from sammobile with your backup's android version (ie 2.3.4, 2.3.5 or whatever).
Flash it, wipe everything after Flash (from stock recovery), then root, install cwm and restore your backup.
Boot loops are mostly caused when you don't wipe after flashing. Connection issues can be fixed by flashing your region's modem.
Also, restore backups using the appropiate cwm version (backups of cwm5 restore with cwm5)
Cheers. Dunno if I'm being a bit simple here, but I'm only finding 10 most recent FWs here, all of which are 2.3.6 ?
I didn't do as much wiping as you suggest last time though, so i'll give it another whirl and see if I do any better.
I was being simple. Hadn't selected a region.
trying now.
Flash DXKPB 2.3.4 Asian firmware first. If you flash that, it will format all of your partition back to rfs
And after that you can just flash newer firmware like XWKT7 2.3.6 and wipe data. Voila!

To restore a stock rom your file systen to rfs !!!
And all custum rom are ext4!!
Meaning ... Use stock recovery to wipe data causing the system to become rfs again then install cwm and ONLY !!! Restore ! Otherwise if u format it will convert to ext4 again !
U can also use chainfire ext4 app to change file system in jellaxy and then restore.
Take care

what about that ramdump?
can i use mobile odin?
Hi guys, i ran across a very annoying problem today.
I failed to flash the latest version of cm10 on my i9000 and soft- ricked my device.
I thought flashing a stock rom is a good idea, but after flashing successfully i get an error, because the partitions are no longer rfs format,
they are ext4.
What should i do now, i dont have any roms on my device to flash them via cwm.
I was wondering if there is any way of changing the partitions back to rfs is possible via odin,
Or if i can flash a rom that supports ext4 via odin instead of cwm.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for not being specific
I did not mention the type of error.
It shows me: cannot mount partition;
This error appears several times coloured in red.
At first i ignored it but get into a bootloop where the galaxy s boot animation starts over and over and over....
The boot sound its played only the first time if that helps you with something.

In CWM, use usb mounts and storage to copy the ROM you initially used to convert your partition to ext 4, to get it back

Not possible and you could lose your internal SD card
hi guys
this is my first post on this kickass site and i hope that someone can help me with this rather strange error :victory:
as the subject of topic says , i get this error whenever i boot my friends sgs into recovery as normal booting goes on loop forever.
this is the error i get in the recovery of stock I9000XXJVU:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Copying media files...
E:failed to mount /sdcard (file exists)
E:copy_dbdata_media:can't mount /sdcard

Successfully applied multi-CSC
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
what happened is this:
my friend had a sgs and i wanted to flash it with cyanogenmod 10 (android 4.1)
the stock firmware was 2.2 iirc.
i just rooted the stock and flashed the 4.1
it went ok but i saw the mounting error back then sometime that i rebooted the device with 4.1 on it but didn't get that error all the time and it would boot just fine.
then the error popuped more and more.
so i decided to flash stock 2.3.6 ,rooting it and finaly go back to 4.1.
after i flashed the device using I9000XXJVU it goes on loop.
recovery and downloading mode works.but the recovery give me that error i said above.
i guess a hardware issue but i don't know for sure
i'm lost here :silly:
help me plz
Thanks in advance

yep same error as before.
after flashing is done and it want to install the package,it get stock and give me that mounting error.
i just want to know if this problem is software or hardware
I also had this problem. Was on stock JVT with semaphore, partitions converted to ext4.
I decided to reboot my phone for no particular reason (was working reat) and when i powered it on kept boot looping without really getting past the samsung gt-i9000 white letters / black background screen.
CWM recovery said it was unable to mount any partition. External SD mounted fine, just nothing from the internel sd. No system, data, whatever. Got me thinking i may had my internal sd malfunctioning.
I just flashed it with odin and my stock branded operator rom (2.3.3) and done nothing more. No repartition. Working great. Was probably some ext4 error.
Before that i had been using cyanogen stable. Started giving FC like mad, so i flashed that stock JVT. On hindsight it may only had been the data partition that had run out of free space but i had no way of knowing when it happened and needed my phone running.
Reflashing got mine running again. Maybe try with Heimdall if odin's not working for you? Be sure to get a complete rom, with bootloaders and such. I'd suggest your operator's stock one. That way you can also send it back to samsung if it still doesn't work.

problem 11 and 12 are the ones i get flashing different roms
even tried a Rescue kit from here but no go...

hi friend, file link not working file moved or deleted........
I'm a noob I know and yes I watched the noob-video. But I need help! Cuz I'm too dump! So please help me
I wanted to update my Galaxy S Plus to the newest CM 10 (Beta 4) (before it was the Beta 3) over the CWM recovery it suddenly says
"symlinks failed"
"error in /sdcard/cm-10-20130324-invendor-beta4-ariesve.zip"
"(Status 7)"
"installation aborted"
so I looked to the CWM recovery and I saw that I don't have the latest version....okay I downloaded the latest one and installed it over the CWM recovery. The same error .... with friends. Now I got when I went into the CWM recovery: (after I tried to wipe data/factory reset or wipe cache)
"E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log"
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log"
"E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log"
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log"
I tried to restart the phone...black-screen after the samsung cyanogen mod screen.
Okay
So I tried to flash a older firmware "I9001XXKQ7_I9001DBTKP2_I9001XXKPK_HOME.tar.md5" with Odin. I restarted the phone...nope black screen. I installed the newest CWM recovery again and tried to flash again the CM 10. Black-screen. So I tried the old version of the CM which I had before (Beta 3) -> black-screen and still errors in the recovery mode.
I can still go into the download mode and the recovery mode. The charging symbol is not working when i connect it (just the battery but bot moving)
My device:
Samsung Galaxy S Plus
Provider: Vodafone IT
ROM: CM 10 (Beta 3) installed but not working
Kernel: Phenom 3.2 UV (updated after the symlinks failed error)
I hope some genius out there can help me
And sorry for my bad english...I don't use it often (Italy)

Hi everybody I'm new.
My situation is exactly the same, I did the same things, got the same problems... got stuck with no solutions yet if not to send it to samsung assistance.
Flashad many other android phones in the past and never had issues like this... it's a nightmare...

Without doing anything the recovery says nothing....just the normal main-screen.
After I mounted system and data I click on wipe data/factory...but then it doesn't do anything. It freezes after "Formatting /data..."

I'm gonna go to the samsung assistance in the afternoon... :crying:
Well....Nothing is working...Anyone who could help me? ... Or better us..
If my guide is no use to you as its for i9000 : try this HERE
If that helps you in any way let me know.
I did this already... I flashed it with the newest stock-FW but it doesn't do anything...and the stock-recovery can't make a factory reset. It always freezes....
other things that could be worth a try:
try flashing different recoveries - not only feamod... also cwm,...
for me cwm5.5.0.4 works
look: our wiki-page -> un-brick
if all doesnt help you could try to reset all partitions
I tried already a few recoveries...like the CWM or the TeamWin... How can I reset them? Can you give me a link please? ^^
Flash BroodROM RC 5... flash this multiple times without touching any buttons like repartion etc..
After that, wipe system and data via the recovery provided in the ROM.
Then flash the newest stock FW from samsung..
This solved all my issues multiple times xD
thanks for the reply, but my phone is now finally brocked....it doesn't even start....and I don't have any idea what i can do now...
??
So, now Samsung, no Samsung Galaxy S Plus GT-I9001? No nothing. Not even the soft brick image (see wiki)
Hey guys . I formatted /system and /boot when i entered CWM, i formatted cache and wiped data, and flashed a new rom, but when i hit "reboot" the phone restarted and the image with the writing "GALAXY S GT-i9000" apears and remains here, the phone won't boot anymore (i formatted /system and /boot because i thought the rom would install more freshly and would not apear problems, but i didn't need to format those :|).
I can't enter anymore in CWM Recovery (probably deleted because i formatted /system) or stock Recovery :| , the only thing that works is Download Mode. :\
What you recommend to do to fix this?
I saw the tutorial with fastboot to flash a new boot.img but i formatted the /system too. Most probably this will not fix anything. Another way i though of, is to flash via Odin a new Software but, after i formatted the /system and /boot i already installed a new rom but didn't booted anymore after reboot, although i think this will not be a problem because will overlay the already rom or something, but i'm not sure and i'm not sure i will find a software that i can flash through odin.
I don't have an external sd card, only internal memory that comes with the phone.
I also read that you can format /system if you don't reboot it after you format it and flash the rom. Could be the problem only the /boot that i formatted? I just need to flash a boot.img, if yes, how do i do it, with that softwares.
Thank you a lot in advance!

First of all i think that if you formatted the system and you didn't have an external sd card you might have wiped everything off your device . But lets try some options first. If you flashed a GB or JB rom most times the partition is changed and you have to remove the battery during the start-up (called a boot loop) this is normal. So try to reboot your device but when you have seen your samsung logo and such for a couple of minutes remove the battery, then replace the battery and start as if normal. If that doesn't solve your problem then you will have to put the phone in download mode and manually reflash your device using odin to stock then try all over again with your new rom. In the future, when you try using CWM again just do a factory reset, clear cache partition and under advanced clear dalvik cache then install from sd card, scool down and choose the rom then highlight it (volume up and down arrows) and install (power button).
You killed the bootloader of the phone, flash it back via Odin
Bootloaders here!

Hello, dont worry about your phone. Actually your phone has been bricked down and now you just have to unbrick your Galaxy S4. Check the galaxy s4 xda forum or just google the topic that "how to unbrick Galaxy s4 with your model no" and then follow the steps given in the tutorial. Thanks

Hi MihaDani93,
I'm having the exact same problem, I rooted with CF-Root, then cleared cache/dalvik and formatted system and rebooted on a stock 2.3.6 model i9000. It also stucks at the Samsung logo splash screen and freezes.
Only thing is I dont have the original stock ROM. I don't know how to reflash the phone.
Can you tell me in detail how you reflashed to stock with what files and where I can get those files from? PIT, PDA, PHONE and CSC md5 files and so on?
Thank you very much in advance!
