[Q] Galaxy Ace stuck in reboot loop

My Galaxy Ace is stuck in a reboot loop after trying to flash 2.3.6 onto it, when it had 2.3.5 on it previously.
I've used ODIN and no matter what firmware I try to flash onto it, it just goes into a reboot loop.
Any idea how to fix it?

Did you try to do a wipe?

press down home button and then power on phone ...--> you will enter into recovery mode .
select wipe with help of volume keys and there you go out of bootloop

My Galaxy Ace is also in some sorta reboot loop.
Everything was working fine with it (phone is rooted and CWM installed) until I did a phone reset because I was giving the phone to my gf. After doing this the phone reboots, the blue samsung logo plays (without sound) and then repeats ad-infinitum. I can get into recovery mode and download mode ok and I've tried wipe and even restored a CWM backup (it says it was successful) but the phone just keeps rebooting. I can see the phone in odin but I've never tried to flash anything onto it and quite frankly I'm unsure whether it would just make things worse (if it needs to go back to Samsung for repair). Any help would be appreciated...

If you have cwm ..why dont you download some custom rom like cm7and flash it ..that would bring your phone back to life ...then you can downgrade to stock rom if you want ...and btw in cwm try cache partition , clear data /factory reset and clear dalvik cache ..see if it boots after you do this ..

when i always flash by odin or by cwm i always do wipe , wipe cache and wipe dalvik, this helps me everytime

I managed to flash a firmware from samfirmware and it fixed the reboot.
Now my issue is when I connect to Kies, it says there's an updated firmware for the phone but it fails every attempt to install it. I went back to samfirmware and found this firmware: S5830ZSKPD ## but when I download and extract it there's only 1 x MD5 file and 1 x DLL file?! The other firmware had the 4 or 5 files needed to include in Odin... any ideas guys?

I think its a "one package file " ..I forgot the correct name but there is some option like that in odin ..dont worry it contains all the required files ..and if you are scared to do it then go to you tube ..there are many tutorials showing it then...

Yep, that's exactly what it was, thanks again.
Unfortunately with this firmware, Kies doesn't recognise it and provides no info.
I flashed back to the older firmware... I'll just have to keep experimenting I guess.

many people says, don't upgrade the firmware with KIES.

Well I could flash it with Odin if I had the firmware but I don't.
It appears it's not available on SamFirmware.com
Do you know where I can download the following firmware?
PDA:KPD / PHONE:KPD / CSC:KPC (THL)
Thanks

Lol I cant understand those firmwares ..can you tell me which version of android you want like 2.3.4/2.3.5/2.3.6 ...then ill be able to help you wanr

Thanks anyway but I managed to find the firmware online and flashed it using Odin.
Now Kies says I'm using the latest which is a good start : )
Now I just need to find a way to root my SGS2 GT-I9100T

U can try a custom ROM from the Developer's forums here.
I also once stucked in the Reboot Loop..............
But then I installed a custom or if you want features from a official Rom, you can install Stock Based custom ROm from the Developer forums of Galaxy Ace. Really good Rom have been made by the developers

In the chance that someone else is looking for this latest OEM firmware update:
PDA:KPD / PHONE:KPD / CSC:KPC (THL)
It can be downloaded from: http://translate.googleusercontent....flgljh&usg=ALkJrhiMpHV83dugh4RGwhKpyjIrYIgn2Q
It is in "one part file" format and can be flashed using Odin.

whatever may be the problem ......just rem to keep a backup of ur previously used rom and just flash it with cwm...

Progress?

For flashing Stock ROM use PC Odin. Not CWM..

try flashing with odin only the PIT file with repartition ticked
then reset file on odin
now factory setting shuld flashing o.k
post resaults

thanks for the reply, ive tried to flash the PIT file "u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4" with & without checking the re-partition, after that the same thing when I try to flash the stock ROM (PC Odin) : fails to write factoryfs.img.
Just to make things clear when I flash a stock rom i load it in BOOTLOADER anwhen i flash the kernel only i load it in PDA

Please before flashing any ROM read all instruction mentioned in thread.
And if you flashing via PC Odin, Select .md5 file in PDA Tab. not in boot loader.

You shouldnt be putting anything in bootloader ideally....
Try and get a one file tar that you put into pda.

I dont want to confuse u guys with me but i have a feeling that something is wrong
with the internal storage ?

Thanks All for trying to help
Succeeded
really thank u all for the help, as I was doubting in my last post about the internal memory, i think the problem was from the first PTT file "u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit" but just know i was googlin on ptt files i found this file "Q1_20110914_16GB.pit" so after using this PTT with the re-partition checked i flashed the stock rom Successfully !!
Just to let you know how fool i was : my note counted 16 flashes :

still stuck in factoryfs.img
Hello.
I have Galaxy Note.
I used to have TeamRocket v1.5 installed and it would work ok.
I wanted to try a new OS so I tried to erase and wipe the data on the sd card. it took a long time so i thought it got stuck and i restarted my phone, since then I cannot use odin to install full roms.
what I am able to do is to install CF-root CWM5 kernel and after that to copy the AbyssNote v4.2 kernel zip and to install from that CWM. that will provide CWM version 5.8.1.5
I tried using Odin3 versions 1.87 and 1.85.
I tried installing on two different windows 7 computers.
i was able to install from these same computers these same roms before.
I tried install several versions of stock roms and the Chinese rom
examples:
N7000XXKKA_N7000OXXKK5_AUT
N7000XXLA3_N7000OXALA3_OXA
N7000XXLP1_N7000OXALP1_OXA
i tried installing versions that contain only the PDA
and versions with PDA,PHONE,CSC and UMS.
I tried using the Q1 pit file: Q1_20110914_16GB.pit
I also tried to re-partition the SD card using CWM but everything provides the same results. whenever I try to install any rom it stuck at factoryfs.img
it seems like if i'll find a stock rom that can be installed with cwm it would work, but i didn't find anything like that so far.
so no matter what I do i get the same results.
please help!
thanks

Have u flashed Angelom's Kernel V1.1 or V1.2?? or TRR V1.6??

just to confirm :
-is it stuck on factoryfs ? or u mean when it reaches factoryfs just terminating and giving FAIL in Red ?

updates
Hello.
Odin3 v1.87 doesn't terminate on factory.fs it just doesn't show any progress
anymore when it reaches factoryfs.img
I tries installing Angelom's Kernel v1.1 (I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK) but with same results. here it tries to install factoryfs.img first (not starting with cache like the stock roms) but the results are the same. no progress from there.
regarding trr 1.6. I assume you meant team rocker group. The latest version of their Rom for galaxy note that i could find is 1.5. and the docs on the forum says that it should be installed on top 1.4 and it should be installed on top of a the ICS rom. i don't have anything installed so I don't think just unpacking this rom with CWM while having a clean hard drive would work. (i may be wrong)
gonna try it anyways.. so I installed teamrocket v1.4 zip from external sd card using cwm recovery (install zip), wiped the data and restart.
welp it just shows the boot logo with a yellow triangle and that's it. does not work.

I resolved the issue by sending my phone to the cellular company. They fix it and I didn't need to pay anything. I was able to properly root my phone. Thanks

i can't flash any Rom!

Bricked
Mine if bricked. Nothing has worked. Question for you all. Bought this from a over seas company as I am in the United States. Was told that we would have to ship to Samsung in the UK. We went to the samsung.com/uk site and got the phone registered and it tells us to contact the service center. They will not accept the phone. We were honest with them and told them we would pay but after 5 calls between Samsung and Intercity the repair people they simply will not take the phone.
This is frustrating as I spent $750 bucks for a phone and can't even pay to get it fixed. I knew the risk of flashing but it's hard to believe it happened we've been doing it for yours. I'm not sure if my loyalty to Samsung will continue.

Galaxy S ODIN Flash

Guys I've got a problem with my Galaxy S i9000 with CM9. It stopped working after restart (endless loop on Cyangenmod logo) and now I'cant get to recovery mode. Only download mode works, so I think that I must to flash it with ODIN. And there is a problem, because I can't find proper CM9 ROM files for ODIN. And what version of ODIN should I use? Now I've got 4.38 and phone is visible - it's OK?
I will be very pleased for ROM files to ODIN and some instructions how to flash it propely. I've read many threads from morning, but I can't find ROMs

Hi there,
afaik there are no CM Versions flashable via ODIN.Use ODIN to flash a Stock firmware, then install ClockworkModRecovery and Install CM9 via CWM.
You should try to take Out your Battery for about 5 minutes and try to enter Recovery Mode.
About the Odin Version: If you look at different "howto use ODIN tutorials" there are different Versions "recommended" I've used multiple ODIN Versions eg 1.3 / 1.83 and every Version made a good job.
Give this a try if Battery-out for 5 Minutes does't take you back to recovery

After flashing through Odin, allow it to reboot the device. Odin will boot the phone, after the flashing process is success. So just try once again.

Its probably not a hard brick, because you still get the Download Mode/Recovery. Anyways you would've got more replies if you had posted it in Galaxy Note GT-N7000 forums, as it is more kind of device-specific question.

Mother of all thread is given below.
Just use PC ODIN, download your region file and get your phone to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Or check Ketan signature and download the pre-rooted rom and install the same. Once rooted you can update your kernal to Hydracore and then proceed with any wipe and install.
If post flashing the stock using ODIN is stuck in boot, you potentially have a hard brick which requires mother board replacement.
Take it to samsung service and if under warranty they will replace the MB for free.

Samsung Galaxy Note Stuck on Splash Image/Boot Image

My mom's Samsung Galaxy Note is currently stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 screen. Tried removing the battery and reinsert then turned it on same problem.
Also I am unable to access the recovery I remembered that I have philz kernel installed on the unit. And im only able to access the download mode.
Also when I flashed the stock roms that I have stored on my computer specifically GB roms it shows that it was successful but when the phone rebooted it is still stuck on the same screen. Not willing to do any more steps as im really out of ideas here. Hope you can help.
BTW my mom is only using the phone for standard use meaning call and text and a few game words like crossword and some solitaire games. And sh said that the phone just turned off then thinking it was due to low battery she charged it then when the battery shows 100% full she disconnected the phone and tried to turn it on that is when the problem occured.
Here is the screenshot of odin. And im a bit concerned about the line where it says "RQT_CLOSE!!!" I don't know what that means.

Some more useful information, the phone was on Jelly Bean Stocked Jelly Bean with custom kernel I forgot if it was Philz or speedmod. Phone is already out of its warranty.

Stuck on the Gt-N7000 screen? It doesn't go into bootloop when you flash the stock GB ROM ? Can you access the stock Android recovery? Remove battery, put it in and then try to access the recovery using the same the button combo used for custom recoveries.
The Odin flash went perfectly, nothing wrong with it.

Friend of mine is having the same issue, flashing to stock UK Jellybean.

Same issue
I'm actually having the same issue as the OP I'm bookmarking this as I am looking for a fix I flashed the Vodafone rom for the united kingdom and am now stuck on the bootscreen for all samsung devices.

Try booting into recovery and reinstalling one of your backups if you can - usually works for me. Clean all caches etc first though.
PC Odin may take a couple of attempts to flash it correctly I've found when I'm trying to repair a major stuff up.

Have you tried flashing a kernel through Odin PC and then booting into recovery use one of philz .tar files for the kernel and see if you can get in to recovery sounds like you have lost recovery. This has happened to me and I fixed with philz kernel through PC Odin good luck and also you may need to do a full wipe after flashing a ROM through PC Odin to get it to boot
sent from the darkness

Yup already performed that but stuck on logo snd cant access cwm recovery.
Got mine fixed by doing this procedure which is really weird. Flashed pit with stock gb rom then once finished im still stuck in splash screen decided to flashed ics with pit same results then i flashed jb rom using pc odin with pit after a few minutes i was able to access the menus and all those icons. But the apps and games installed are still on the device which should have been removed when i flashed stock rom.
Flashed philz kernel via mobile odin and wiped factory data and it seems device is working now. Still under observation though.

you are flashing a non wipe rom so the apps will still be there
