[Q] galaxy mini bricked where did i go wrong - Samsung Galaxy Mini

hi all can someone help me
first thing first,i rooted my samsung galaxy mini then i flashed cwm recovery using odin 4.38 everything was fine for about 5 mins then it bricked when i did a supersu update. did this happen because i didnt clear all data before flashing.
WHERE DID I GO WRONG? what do i need to do before flashing cwm recovery and what do i do after flashing cwm recovery
what is the best rom for my device once i've flashed cmw recovery, i'm new at this stuff so a step by step walk thought would be much appreciated.no rush at the moment still waiting for t-mobile to fix it lol

Galaxy mini or dart since they have the same name so flashing the wrong cwm can cause brick. May be urs is a dart coz i flash odin without any wiping but nothing go wrong.

[Q] Please help! My note keeps rebooting after i flashed Rocket Ics Rom v1.

I am very new to rooting and all the stuffs. However i decided to root my phone following a youtube video tutorial made by this guy called Ashwin on XDA. I followed all the instructions carefully and rooting was successful. Then i proceeded to install CWM recovery following another youtube tutorial made by the same guy and it was successfully installed. Afterwards i flashed RocketIcs rom v1 using the CWM recovery mode and it says the installation was successful...
however, after the installation i realized that my note would keep rebooting and rebooting after 30 secs or so. i am really scared now because i am really a noob in this field and i am at a lost what to do. I will really appreciate if anyone can help ;(

i think i did. in the tutorial video i followed, i downloaded the abyss kernel 4.2 as directed and flashed it with mobile odin. Then i rebooted into CWM recovery mode and flashed the rocket ics rom v1. then started the bootloop.
to give you further details, my rooted note has kernel version N7000DXLC2 before i flashed the rocket ICS rom. please help i am really thankful!
Im new here too but I think I may know what the err is.
Do you have Titanium-backup App, Clockworkmod Recovery App &/or Nandroids on your Note? If not once this thing gets fixed I recommend you do some homework so that you don't lose everything next time.
Good News is it isn't Fully Bricked (I think)... If it was bricked than it wouldn't even boot at all. Better News is... I have been doing a lot of research - So this might work. It sounds to me that you are in a Boot loop.
In that event...

1. pull out your battery, wait for 1 minute
2. put it back in, boot into stock Recovery (volume up + home + power)
3. do a factory reset and wipe cache
4. reboot

Samsung Galaxy Note STOP working!

Sorry to disturb you, but I hope that your knowledge can help tremendously.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note GT N7000 . Yesterday I put new software in the work of the mobile phone "froze".
After that I reset (Volumen down+meni+power ) and with Odin tried to put multiple versions of the OS, but each time the installation would be stopped somewhere before the end.
PLEASE HELP!

there is a brick bug in the official and leaked kernels. You might be a victim please read up more.
And did you wipe before flashing?
yes, with AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo

Clarify on which ROM and kernal you were from to which ROM and kernal you were expecting to go to?
And by what methods?

Should have read more before flashing this kernel.
Flashed AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo on my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 and now it is not booting. I was on Stock ROM Rooted and stock kernel. Flashed using latest CWM Touch I could find (have used same CW zip for some other stuff worked fine). I did not remove any thing.
Any Advice please?
Can you boot into recovery? Install a different kernel.
What rom were you on?
Flash stock rom using pc Odin

Make your own topic instead of digging up an old one...
Sorry for digging up an Old one, but when I searched topic was already here so ,,,,,,,, If I ever get in such trouble again I will do so.
I was able to boot in CWM (ROM Manager) and had a backup copy of my ROM (did it few days ago and left it in original folder), decided to use that.
And I am happy my GT-N7000 just booted again. Now All I have to do is just make the changes again I did in past 7 days.
Thank you for responses. Respects. :victory:
you said you are rooted and on stock kernel. move to a kernel like philz / hydracore / speedmod to avoid the risk of brick bug. also restoring nandroid backups on stock kernel can be dangerous. so change the kernel to safe one and make a new backup.
glad you go it fixed
Done
now my kernel is 3.0.15_Hydracore_v7

[Q] My Ace got stuck up on boot loop screen... Plz help !!!

Hi,
Well i was trying to rooting up my phone for trying out Cynogenmod 9 (ICS 4.0) .....
The files i transferred to the sd card :
1.) recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix
2.) upd_1
As instructed on tutorial guide... first i installed clockwork 5.... its done without any errors.... after that i tried "upd_1", which aborted installation with some "(status 7)" error..... after that i rebooted cell and gone for factory reset..... after that my ace got stucked up on boot loop screen.... cant go any furthur..... same step repeats many many times..... but no result......
I tried 2 guides....

Thanks & Regards
Status 7 error relates to errors in updater script,it should not have been ignored like that.Furthermore,upd_1.zip is a root package for GB roms,not ICS roms,so wrong bin file there.Can you get to download mode? Or,atleast recovery?
Same problem
Hi I have the same problem just keeps cycling through the Samsung boot screen on a loop. I can get into Download mode and also I can boot into recovery. I downloaded a stock rom S5830XWKPN_S5830SWKP6_S5830XEUKP1_HOME Then I used odin 4.38 and clicked on OPS and used cooper_v1.0.ops and then clicked on one package and clicked on the zip of the stock rom I downloaded. Everything seemed to go well, but then the phone got stuck on this loop of the Samsung boot screen. I hope that you can help please.

hmmm I think he's still in GB. I think he means he's trying to prepare his ace to flash ICS rom cause obviously you can't flash ICS with stock recovery.
as for the op... try using stock recovery and flash upd_1? thats what I did.

Boot into recovery and wipe data.
Make a wipe in standart or full wipe in custom and flash again with odin! It will surely help

I too have this problem!
Is the phone bricked? I have tried using packages from Odin and One Click Unbrik but they both fail, I can get into download mode, but I cannot get into recovery mode. It just says ARM9 or something whenever I try. Is there a solution yet?
i fixed my phone i kept on having boot loops after falshing single packing so i turned the phone off then hold power and home till you come to recovery option wipe cache and i think its factory reset or full wipe so do both wipes then reboot phone WALA my phone was working hope this helps and dont forget to tick thanks button :good:
boot loop with other issues too...
hi there guys. I'm new to this forum and also to flashing...
but anyways I had a good look before flashing my phone but still messed it up...silly me
I tried rooting my phone via SD card(first clockwork mod ace 4 followed by clockwork mod 5 as said in tutorial) then upd_1 and then cm9. But after installing clockwork mod ace 4 I get :" E: failed to mount/ system (invalid argument)" same happens when trying to wipe cache partition/ data/ factory reset.
I can get into android system recovery no problems and also into odin download mode (where it gives you the warning and prompts you to press volume up if you still want to continue. It is also stuck on the samsung screen if I don't press anything.
But when trying to connect the phone to odin in order to rectify what I've done (with the one package methode, either gingerbread or cmw9) odin won't detect my phone. I used several different cables, original samsung cables, changed usb ports (directly off the motherboard) but to no avail.
heimdall will recognise the phone as far as I can see (when you click on detect device it says: "device detected") but I cannot find the right files I need to use for heimdall. I would very much appreciate any help and advice. Please point me in the right direction, show me where to download the correct files and which ones and please bear in mind I'm a noob. put it as plain as bread for me please :good:
just flash clockworkmod 5 and format system and data...
do a complete wipe ...clear cache,, wipe dalvik
then mount system and data and install any of ur modded stock or cm7... enjoy
---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------
many roms are pre rooted plus u dont need rooot access to flash rom
to flash CustomROM u dont need to root first our ace simply flash CWM 5 and put your CustomROM flashable .zip to your sdcard and then fullwipe (data,cache,advantage) and done.....
most of CustomROM now can directly flash from previous or Other CustomROM without flash to StockROM first..

Since when do you need to flash cwm before you root? I did it the other way around and no problems at all. I was on 2.3.5

I won't question what you guys are saying since I'm a noob but the tutorial I followed specifically told me to do that. I just get installation aborted every time I try to install recovery clockwork 5...or anything else for that matter. thanks for your help guys
maybe this will give you a better picture of my predicament...
I think I just spotted my error...I believed the model is Samsung galaxy ace S5830 but in fact it's the S5830i. how does that change things for me???thanks for replying

It changes everything. 5830 is completely different from 5830i (they only share the name). Roms and mods for 5830 might brick your phone, so be careful.

[Q] With a Galaxy Ace GT-S5839i

Hi!
I have a Galaxy Ace GT-S5389i and I didn't found any post who say how to change the rom or change the recovery to a clockwork !
I try the clockwork recovery 5 but it failed.
Can I install a different recovery and then a custom ROM or that's not possible for my phone ?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.
Hello!
This guide should help : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552792
The only custom rom avaliable for now is rajrock's, there are other groups developing, let's wait, but DO NOT flash S5830 roms in your device, the hardware is different and it may brick your phone.
Ok, thank you, so I must wait !
yinssio 600
If you ask me, dont flash any ROM just yet even the rajrocks razodroid Rom bricked my phone and im using the S5839i.... Wait until someone releases a ROM specifically for the phone! For some people It works and I dont understand how, maybe they used a different kernel.
I'm asking for you help

I recently wanted to flash my Samsung Galaxy ACE GT-S5839i with RazoDroiD and ClockworkMod, both files are compatible, I think I messed up in the wiping part, I restarted the phone on the normal recovery mode, choosed Install Zip from SD Card, and choosed ClockworkMod, it instantly gave me the Clockworkmod Recovery interface, so I choosed Wipe data factory, and Wipe Dalvik, then choosed install zip from sd card and choosed RazoDroiD.
Now when I turn on my phone, I hangs on the Samsung logo, and if I turn it off, it restarts all by itself.
Pleaaaaase help me !

Forget that the RazoDroiD.is compatible with GT-S5839i its not ! I had exactly the same problem like you. Just follow the steps with Odin and you will recover your phone.
You will also need a original firmware from here : http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...laxy-ace-firmwares&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82
I hope that will help you enough. Good luck :good:
Yep, Bricked my GT-S5839i
I officially bricked my galaxy ace gt-s5839i for the second time...but this time trying to flash Razodroid v2.5.
Did all the steps and instructions properly but turned my phone into a brick . Hope that my previous back up through CWM restores my Stock Rom!
So anyone with gt-s5839i phone, please dont flash Razodroid for your own safety.
S5839i = NOT COMPATIBLE

Please do not flash any ROM on the s5839i, it does not work! I am on 3 and I have had to send my phone back twice now because I was stupid enough to follow other people!
I have learnt my lesson now :good:
Just wait till there are roms that are confirmed for 100% before you do anything!
This is the S5830 thread, please ask for it in the correct section
You'll brick you device if you use S5830's ROMS or whatever from the incorrect device to your device
Thank you for understanding!

[Q] ClockworkMod Recovery

Hey guys, I`ve got a problem with my Galaxy S3 while trying to install clockworkmod recovery. I followed these steps: http://www.androidrootz.com/2012/09/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on.html . Everything was good until the last step, it whows PASS and my phone should restart, but he still be blocked on downloading screen about 30 mins ago.
What can I do now ?
Go read the sticky thread on how to flash back to stock with Odin.
If you flashed the wrong file, for a different model then you may have hard bricked it.
Don't post questions in the general forum, report your own post and ask a moderator to move it for you.
