i recently bricked my GT-S5570 galaxy mini via rom manager is it possible to unbrick it using a USB jig or any other method ?
How I did
I bricked my phone with a ROM and unbricked it with sammobile.com I have a samsung galaxy mini with gingerbread 2.3.4.
So here is how I did it.
1) I went to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3. (very useful site)
2) I chose smartphone -> android -> gt-s5570 -> europe (I chose the region I live in).
3) Now u should see a list with firmwares. In my case I downloaded the one for Romania as i live in Romania.
Note: You need to have an account on SamMobile to download the files.
4) After u downloaded the firmware go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=5 to download the flashprogram (I don't know the purpose and etc., I just followed the instructions on the site.)
5) Here u will have to chose again some things. smartphone -> android -> gt-s5570. download.
6) Go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=6 and chose smartphone -> android -> gt-s5570 and download.
7) After u downloaded everything open the flashguide and follow the steps.
8) It should work.
REMEMBER, WHEN CHOOSING THE FIRMWARE, CHOOSE THE REGION AND THE COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN.
Hope it works. If not, pm me ur messenger, msn or whatever IM account u use and I will try to help you.
Maybe I get a thank if this works .
you cant to put your phone to download mode because Rom Manager bricked your phone's boot.
try usb jig but i am not sure if this will work (search on youtube).
i haved same problem and i solved it with jTag in service centre (on of my friends working there).
p.s. after this i hate rom manager.
rom manager is dangerous,dont ever use it

My phone was stuck on an infinite reboot once. I didnt have a Nandroid backup so I used this tutorial:
http://enzag.com/technology/android/how-to-upgrade-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-to-gingerbread-2-3-6/
You will be reverted to a stock rom and you will lose your root. You can change the firmware in the guide with whichever firmware you want. It makes no difference
Did u read what u said?i cant boot in to download mode!

If its not entering either download mode or recovery mode, you will have to take it to the service center. You have bricked your phone.
Send it to the service center and don't mention them that you are rooted and they will replace your motherboard and give it back to you!!
They will do it for free if you have warranty. I had mine repaired just like that. I had also bricked my device with Rom Manager before!!
You have already posted this in the general thread why have you posted it in accessories?
Using rom manager can hard brick your phone the only option would be to take it to service center , say that it broke when updating through kies.

DO not mention Kies at all. I had a friend who needed a replacement for his phone which Samsung denied because he updated the software. He is still fighting with them because his phone is under warranty.
Just act stupid when you go to a service center and act as if you dont know anything about your phone. Just say you plugged it into the computer to transfer music or something and it went off and didnt come back on. If they manage to fix it, your phone works again. If they dont, you get a new phone. Its a win-win

But kies is Samsung's official software. Its bad customer service by Samsung. Can't see Samsung having much of an argument against your friend.

Go to Samsung service centre, and tell them that you wanted to update your software up to date, and something went wrong in the middle of the update, server's critical error or something, and now on it doesn't boot at all. Just don't mention Odin, or that you were rooted.
Sorry dude, service centre. Happened to me in the past. Just tell them that one fine day, it couldn't boot. Worked with me. DO NOT MENTION ROOT, ODIN, OR ANYTHING THAT VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY. They'll repair it for free if you do as above
Thats exactly what my friend told them. They are making some bull**** reason that the Kies he was using was downloaded from the internet and not installed from the CD in the box. The CD one was an old version and couldnt have updated his phone ever. Anyways I lost all hope for any Samsung support

Errmm.. dude. Lol service center. Any Galaxy Ace rom manager touches is automatically destroyed.
Just have a try at the service center. If they won´t repair your phone you can use it paperweight.
That's not the spirit of XDA...
I'm closing this thread.
1st I installed ROM MANAGER.After that i installed CWM.apk(manually).Through CWM its gone into CWMode.But when i try to enter CWMode via rom manager its not wrkng.So i thought install CWM via ROM manager its shows already some model only(not showing my device GT-S5830).Even though i select Dell device.So its shows neeed wifi connection but i select dell.it installed manually.after i switch off my mobile after tat nt getting on.
ROM MANAGER is incompatible with the ACE, its actually the best tool to brick this phone, and you my friend did just that.
Sorry for your mishap buddy, but you just bricked your phone.
Should have read more tutorials before attempting it.
Try this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071970
If this doesn't works, your only option will be the samsung service center. Good Luck.
Give me the link for odin n firmware

pls give me the link for odin n firmware coz i have very slow connection in my area.
Goto sammobile.com, everything you'll need is available there, read the flashguides thoroughly.
I believe you are in India, so the firmware you'll need is S5830DDKQ8, download that along with all the necessary files listed in the flashguide.
Also read the sticky threads in the forums, they are tremendously helpfull.

Hey guys,
i have a big problem with my Samsung GALAXY ACE GT-S5830i.
My screen is always stuck at GALAXY ACE GT-S5830i and it just wont go away, i dont know how to fix it. I am using this phone for 1 week and i already brick it or something.
This is the video i was trying to follow :
/watch?v=PFeXXWM-0Xg
(cant post links yet, just add that after youtube.com/ )
I did all the steps he said (under video are all the steps).
I rooted my phone
I tryed to install ClockWorkMod 5 but i got somekind of error i dont remember
And then i got into CyanogenMod 9 ,it installed all right but then when i restarted my phone whole hell gone wrong...
I can get into recovery mode, i cant get into download mode .....
I really need help with this guys, and yes i know i am stupid but i will never do it again.
Please help
Doesn't looks like its bricked if its showing S5830i on the screen, just a soft brick though.
You need to read more mate, that CM9 rom is for S5830 only, not S5830i.
These are both very different models, dunno why samsung gave them the same name.
There is no custom roms for S5830i yet, and you cannot use any rom built for S5830.
You can just flash a stock firmware via Odin and your phone will be back online.
Here read this tut, specially the Odin part.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552792
Read this too if you mess again ever, just use the S5830i button combo for download mode instead of ace's.

Cheers mate, i will try this and let you know what will happen.
The problem is now my pc dont detect usb cable, so i cant copy files/zip to my sd card, before was all working fine but now i cant enable my usb connection
Mate sorry but i am little noobish for this...
Would you mind if you tell me step by step what to do....i mean i just dont know what to do
All i can say is that since all this mess i cant use (phone-pc usb cable) ...my pc just dont show up memory card.
Please help
You can use a card reader, or any other phone as a card reader.
Steps are clearly given in the tutorial by ickkyy, and further flashguide through odin is there at sammobile.com along with all the files you'll need with Odin.
Stop panicking, just read the tut once, and follow it, you'll recover easy.
Wow its fixed i am so happy thanks mate
Good to know mate :good:
Be careful in the future man, don't flash things not meant for your phone....
Yeah i will not
But are there like any themes or addons or roms for my phone ? Cuz i would really like to change this default one...
Just one rom, its released today by team cooper, check the dev section for retribution rom.
Help!!!!
I bricked my phone with rom manager when i installed CWM over Rom manager i picked the wrong phone it was some huawei model my phone was ginger 2.3.4 galaxy mini stock rom
That's what happens when you don't know that rom manager bricks galaxy mini...
Go buy a new phone there nothong to do and now you know must not use ROM manager!

can you go into download mode
No way he can enter download mode when he flashed CWM for the wrong phone...
If you are aware you hard bricked your device, why are you calling for help? Hard bricks can only be repaired with JTAG, not something you can do at home.
time for a new phone... if it's hard bricked then just bin it and learn from you're mistake. remember research before you do anything with you're new phone.
If your phone is under warranty, go get it fixed in samsung service centre for free( Act innocent- say you set the alarm and your phone never started or rang in the morning)
If its not, say FML and use your phone as paper weight.
another victime of ROM MANAGERS ......lol
Never use ROM manager! Many people had brick with it!
Do you still have the guarantee? Go to SSC (Samsung Service Center).
Write a story and lied there. lol.
My friend do the similar thing with his Galaxy W, and got his part replaced by SSC. for free.
Damn!
OK guys im getting it to the ssc and ill tell you the results btw no download mode

Have you revived your phone?
I bricked my phone by using rom manager.
I can't boot normally nor enter recovery.
I can enter download mode but after I flashed stock roms by odin, nothing happened.
Anyone can help?

Wow, I guess the guy who sold me his GT-S6500 must have done something like this, because the exact same things are happening to this phone. It's true: before using strange programs or downloading any firmware without being sure it will suit your phone model, you have to read all the appropriate guides, as other users just recommended before. Or just ask for help to someone with more experience. :fingers-crossed:
Now it's almost 3 days I'm trying to solve the problem with this poor Mini 2. I'm afraid the seller could have used that ROM Manager, and if it wasn't enough, he also destroyed the battery.
Remember that if the phone shows a boot loop with the samsung writings but it still can go into Download Mode (but not into Recovery), the phone isn't bricked yet. It's called "soft brick" but it's still recoverable.
If not, you have to buy a device called JTAG (expensive option) or build you own small "Jig" device (cheap option), following some guides you can find on Google. That will "resurrect" your phone. Good luck

As you said, my phone should be soft-bricked because it can still go into download mode.
But I can't revive it from flashing any stock rom via odin.
So it seems hard-bricked.
should not use rom manager if still using stock rom. especially in the rom manager menu choose reboot into recovery. do not do this you will galaxy mini hard brick. This is my experience. but if you still can get downloads in flash mode can be through odin. but if you can not get into download mode . take it to the samsung service centre
This is my experience

No, they can't detect whether its rooted or not because the phone won't simply boot up. Just go to them, and just say "I don't know, what happened, its just not powering on from the other day" And don't say things like ROM Manager or Custom ROMs or root etc. and they'll charge you. If not then, it will be covered under warranty, and your motherboard will be replaced.
Ok is there any option or am i stuck with the Samsung service center :/ ?

There are some options, but it would only end up of you being gone to Samsung Service Center. Anyways just google - jtag, jig, rom manager bricking galaxy mini. Try to enter into download mode, and if you are successful you may flash a Stock firmware immediately, otherwise no choice.
Go to a some shop near you that fix phone thats what i did when i first bricked my phone i paid 30£
