I have the same thing on my galaxy tab. It's the "you suck at loading software" screen lol from my understanding its still the Download mode screen.
You have to use odin or heimdall to load a new Rom.

Do you have a link to a stock rom download ? P1000 ?
I can`t seem to find one that is completly stock :S

Go here and download gbsafe_v5. Zip
It has everything you need including drivers and odin files
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317384
Also download overcome-kernel_4. 0.tar file as well.
Once you downloaded these two files plug in your tab to usb and wait for that phone and pc screen.
Go here and follow steps up to 10.

Your phone is now stock'ish GB with OC'ed kernel including custom clockwork recovery. This version also comes with phone capabilities unlocked so you can use it like a real phone. All you have to do is load tmobile. Modem file

Bricked Galaxy Ace

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I don't think so... Anyway I had a perfectly working Galaxy Ace coming with stock Android 2.3.4. So I tried rooting it, and I did see the superuser icon but I couldn't apps into the SD card. So I ignored it and downloaded a custom rom and entered recovery mode, wiped data and cache first and rebooted. Then I installed the rom in recovery mode and it said installation successful but when I rebooted I got stuck at the "GALAXY ACE" page and I noticed a weird small blue triangle at the top left hand. And nothing happens. Please help it's nearly brand new! My parents don't know yet... If there is a way to use the com and download the stock rom please provide step by step instructions that was my first smartphone so much help would be appreaciated!

Am not an expert but i would take battery out then put back in holding volume down key home key and power key at sametime to put into download mode then flash your stock rom via odin to get it back running again
have you done a datwipe in cwm after installing? try that first

Hey there!
Before We get to ODIN
Start phone in recovery mode ( Center Button + Power Button ) and then:
- Do a Factory Reset
- Do Wipe Cache
Then Reboot
If he boots great!
If not and still remains at ACE screen do this:
1st - Download Odin 4.38 (http://www.4shared.com/rar/UqBhp5Qd/Odin_Multi_Downloader_v438_www.html)
2nd - Download Cooper.ops (http://hotfile.com/dl/138852983/36a55ea/Cooper_v1.0.ops.rar.html)
3rd - Go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and search firmware for your s5830
Then choose the rom that suits you best (download one from your country if possible)
After the above steps are done open odin
At "option" select - "One Package, Auto-Reboot And Protect OPS"
At "select OPS" - choose "Cooper.ops" (The file you´ve downloaded)
At bottom is "One Package" - In here put the file of the room you´ve dowloaded
Finaly put phone in download mode (Vol. Down + Power Button) and connect it to your PC.
Wait for odin to recognize your phone, a yellow sign will light up, ( you need samsung kies in your computer so odin recognize your phone)
And then hit "Start"
Wait about five minutes at the end your phone should reboot by itself
And that should be it
If your phone reboots but stuck ate samsung boot animation.
Remove Battery
Put it back again
Turn your phone into recovery mode ( Center Button + Power Button )
Do Wipe Factory/Reset and Wipe cache, reboot,
and your good to go!

I rebooted I got stuck at the "GALAXY ACE" page and I noticed a weird small blue triangle at the top left hand
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the blue triangle isn't this CWM 5?
or if can you get to recovery mode try flashing the original stock recovery first
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437426
then install a stock rom with Odin
and boot from the stock recovery to fix the phone boot
if recovery is working you should fix the phone easily with stock rom.

installing a stock rom will install the stock recovery by itself!
so no need to flash stock recovery before flashing stock rom!

Can someone please explain what went wrong here in the first place?

if it locks on start screen
go in recovery mode and do a factory reset and cache reset... enjoy

I mean a real link... The only link I see is to hotfile and for some reason I CAN'T DOWNLOAD T.T

I've made you a full tuturial!
in there was a link to samfirmware! In samfirmware is all the roms you could ever need!
Keep trying hotfile!
Cause of download limitations sometimes it takes a bit before you can download anything

First of all, WRONG SECTION THIS IS A S5830 Q&A THREAD!!!
READ READ READ READ UNTIL YOUR EYES CRY BLOOD, LOL!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552792

This has been said over a hundred times in forums. The SGA and the SGAi dont have much things in common (except for the name ). They have different builds, bla bla...
So flashing ur phone with Ace ROMS might brick you Acei. So flash your mobile with Acei ROMs. I think this shall solve ur problem.
Edit: Well the thing in question was CWM, not ROMs. But still, the answer is same.

[Q] Recovery boot loop and no download mode?

Hi guys,
I got a new Galaxy S i9000 in China and it was already rooted and had some crap Chinese Android 2.3 ROM on it. I used the existing CWM to install Cyanogen 10 and it went alright on the first boot, but when I went to flash the Google Apps it got stuck in a bootloop and only goes to the CWM that is installed alongside Cyanogen. So basically the phone is in a loop that always ends in recovery mode.
I am able to access the SD card by mounting it in CWM and copy ROMs there over the USB cable, but no matter what ROM I install, it always goes back to recovery, even if that is a different recovery installed by the different ROM. None of the key combinations I have tried can get the phone into download mode, so Odin or Heimdall or adb or anything like that do not work, otherwise I would just Heimdall One-click back to stock XXJVT and try again.
Does anybody know what went wrong? I think it might be something to do with the different partitioning required for the step from Android 2.3 to 4.1. After a bit more reading it seems that maybe the bootloader wasn't updated, can I do that from recovery? Could I try flashing the Replicant recovery image from CWM or is that getting a bit risky seeing as if it goes wrong I have no download mode available? How can I use the working CWM recovery to get back to a bootable system?
Thanks, please let me know if you need more details!
Cheers from China :silly:

i9000 or anycall? or maybe i9003? check ur back fone first to confirm

Looks like GT-I9000, see attachment. It used to have standard Samsung animation, but since I flashed cyanogen 10, it says anycall during the recovery bootloop I described...

compacity, your thinking was right. This is a fake/repacked M110S sold as a Galaxy S. This is particularly annoying because my friend paid extra for it in the shop to get the 'guaranteed original HK international version'. Damn Chinese shops. I found out that download mode is just home + power on this phone, so will flash to stock and take it back tomorrow.
Anybody else in this situation, follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890667

sgh-t599 recovery / restore

HI XDA
I got this sgh-t599 tmobile phone yesterday. (didn't realize it was rooted) messed around/did factory reset without backup.
now im stuck in CWM recovery 6.0.3.6, Ive spent several hours readind and trying to fix this with no luck.
I tried using adb, kies etc. none can detect device. device drivers are installed(tried 'have disk'), it shows Samsung under device manager.
I can device list in adb and shows the numbers and "recovery" but when i try to use commands it says "waiting for device" or something.
from what i read, i need unsecure boot to restore firmware. where can i get this and how do i do it pls.
i have no mount usb option in cwm, when i try to recover/update from cwm it says aborted. in adb im able to reboot the phone with the commands but always reboots to cwm recovery or waiting for device. any help pls. i may have access to another rooted t599 if i am able to backup and recover it to this phone?:crying:
do you think local phone repair shop can fix this back to stock or rooted and for how much?

You must have format system or something. A factory reset wipes cache and data, nothing else. There should be a homebrew odin-file somewhere in these t599 threads.

phone was rooted and had superuser etc on it. I didn't know about rooting, I did factory reset from the main menu which im pretty sure is what caused this. before that I was able to look through its apps where I saw the superuser,terninal and others, once factory reset it rebooted to cwm recovery and stuck there. there was no backup or side sdcard. only realized it was rooted after saw the cwm and stuck
odin doesnt detect phone either, downloaded/installed universal drivers still no go.
main issue is not being to able enable usb debug/download while still in cwm
repair shop says $30, about to run there

i caused my friends sgh-t599 to do that
