Hi.
Yesterday I successfully rooted my Galaxy Ace using SuperOneClick.
I mainly did this because I wanted to try the MIUI ROM.
I downloaded the MIUI files onto my SD card, and was set to go. But when I flashed the ClockworkMod Recovery on my phone, it won't restart after I turned it off.
I'm supposed to hold down the Power button and Home button simultaneously to boot the phone, but it simply won't start.
Does anyone else share this problem, or know another way to manufactory reset my phone?

What is ur ace? S5830?
I used to kill Majins
but now,IM BUSY KILLING NOOBS
That's right, GT-S5830. Any clue?
You didnt by any chance unzip the files and then put them on the sd card, did u?
You flashed correct version of cwm?
Version 5.0.2.6 is latest for ace. Recovery is needed in order to flash anything. If no recovery, you need to flash with odin.

King ACE, I might have. I put the zip file on there a moment later, but might have forgot to delete the unzipped ones.

delete the unzipped ones cause i just read that unzipped files on sd card cause the exact same problem you are facing..

Only option remaining is flash with odin..
go to www.sammobile.com and select the baseband that suits you and flash it via odin..
I see. Not sure how to get my phone into download mode when it won't turn on though?

Where did you read that from? Unzipped files cant do anything to the rom run,because they matter only when the rom is being flashed.After that,what lies of the sd card it not a matter for system.I had this consumption when i was a noob too

I just read that someplace here. Even that user put the unzipped files on his phone and then his phone would not turn on in any mode..so i was just stating what i read. Even i know that putting some files on ur sd card will not affect anything..but..i suggested that just-in-case..

Did you use ROM manager to flash cwm recovery? If you did, your ace has been hard bricked. Service center is always there for you bro

Galaxy note what an update, and now won't even start. Help please!
My Samsung note was updated from gingerbread to ice cream sandwich using Samsung Kies. Then rooted and put on the Franco kernel. That's when the problems started: lag city! It couldn't even play fruit ninja or noogra nuts. Everything was slow. subsequent updates wouldn't work. Every few hours it would remind me, and I would click dismiss.
I've also been using an aftermarket battery. When the battery would get low, screen would activate all pixels and go very bright. At this point I would have to hold down the power button. Anyway, the last time I did this was the last time the phone was on. When I try to start the phone it gets to the Samsung bit after the opening flash intro, and the Samsung just glows and blinks. I've tried many times but it doesn't work. If left in the state, it gets very hot and will Drain the battery very quickly.
I am able to get to the clockwork mod recovery. What shall I do from here? I see there's an option to backup, but how would I restore from and what all my data be there? I have some really important data on the phone that I'm hoping to recover. In fact some of that data is worth several hundred dollars, because it's my proof for my friend who was defrauded by a ticketing agent.
Your help would be really appreciated everyone!
From what I can tell, you haven't wiped so it shouldn't be a emmc brick.
You said you could get to CWM recovery so from there you should first mount your phone to your pc and back up anything important like that "several hundred dollar" info.
Y'know. Just to be safe.
Then download a safe kernel such as Hydracore or Philz and put it on your phone.
Flash it, reboot recovery, then do all 3 wipes and see if that solves your problem.

Thanks again for the reply. When I do that and plug it in, the computer installs the device driver software correctly. However, I can't find the device either in "my computer" or in the device management/hard disk management console. I've tried this on two computers with the same result. The option to eject is in the tray icon (similar to other removable storage), but that's the only place it seems to be visible.
Flash a Philz kernel from franco recovery. Reboob recovery to get into Philz. Then mounts and storage /mount USB. PC will pick up both int & ext sd cards:thumbup:

Thank you for the responses again. I'm afraid I'm so much a noob I don't know what to do even after visiting that thread. I'm not sure which one to download.
I can check my ROM build in settings because I can't start the phone..

PhilzDDLR9-INU.zip works on all ICS that I know of. They are interchangable amd backwards compatible.

this is GB and philz wont work..
seems u had the swiss firmware and u got updated to ICS.. so i am guessing now u have N7000XXLRI
download philz XXLRI..
i guess u dont have access to internal storage.. if u have a SD card .. put the kernel in it and then flash using cwm > install zip from SD
if no sd then put the phone in download mode and install using PC odin using PDA tab

Try hydracore 5.4 then. http://hecubus.com/xda/kernel/HydraCore/GL_HYDRACORE_v5-4_STD.zip
If you are unable to connect your phone to PC,
remove your sd card,
put it in a card reader or another phone that is alive
put the above downloaded kernel.zip on the sd card.
Now reinsert the sd card in your dead phone and
flash the kernel from the recovery.
in advanced menu, reboot recovery
Now wipe /data and reboot, you should be good to go.
he doesnot want to wipe data i guess..

Well, he can try rebooting w/o wiping data.
@OP: By the way what is the "critical" proof that you are talking about? Are they some photographs etc? In that case they are untouched during the wipe operation.
So this will allow me to boot the phone without wiping the data?

Sounds like you've got corrupted rw permissions on internal storage. It's quite common, but the only way I know how to recover is a reflash with correct wipes.

Well I finally got it repaired. Expanded said it would take two months after I mailed it back to the UK. Got it done locally egger where two places said it was the power chip. The good news is the pics are there there, but the data is gone. Do you all recon there is someway else to get the data. If the pics are there maybe the data still can be recovered?
Also, do you think it is dangerous to use whatever the local place flashed on to it? There are a few Chinese apps on it. System says it Systemis hardcore 5 and android 4.0.3
Thank you guys.

im trying to flash stockkernel....but the kernel is in tar file...so i search around and found a way to make a flashable zip......however the zip file is pre-made for s3......silly me...i inserted the boot.img from s3 mini and put in the zip file......walla.....installed succesfully but never reboot.....a lesson learn today......hope its not a very expensive one.....
i follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38579283
You should have just flashed it through odin instead, or restored boot.img from a previous made cwm backup by choosing the advanced restore option.
S3 have a different partition layout. Not even built on the same board..
Sorry to say but you should have read though the forums thoroughly before attempting this. And don't be afraid to ask mundane questions even though it's advised not to ask in development threads. I read the guides at least three times over before taking action, just to be on the safe side.

You have soft bricked your phone as CF3D drivers didn work as it was supposed to. First turn off your device by long pressing power key, this works many times even if you are in a boot loop(which is what you are experiencing now). Now like always try to enter recovery mode manually by the combination specified for your device (mine is power+home key+vol. up for recovery and power+home+vol. down for download). If you can enter recovery mode, wipe data and cache and if needed dalvik cache as well but it will take more time for your phone to start the first time after dalvik cache is wiped. This will probably fix your problem. And if it doesn then your next choice is flashing stock rom via odin. Pull your battery, insert it back after 10 seconds. Enter download mode manually and you know how to flash stock rom via odin i suppose. You can find many guides out there as well.. Hopes this helps...

Sure.. I can help you. Check this.. It got what you need and it should work this time. Ignore the stuff mentioned at first of the article coz they are talking bout a perfectly working device and we are facing a worst case scenerio. Download the required files. Uninstall kies if you have it installed coz it will probably clash with Odin trying to access your device and report error. So have just the usb drivers installed and remove kies first. Next do as they say. It should be fine. Let me know if it worked.

If you can enter download mode then dont give up. Try for odin flashable Roms and if you take your phone to service centre, dont tell them what really happened coz it will void your warranty. Tell them it happened while flashing the official stock rom update. It might save you from paying em and also losing your warranty..

I know it's possible to create a bootable sd from a working device or rom image. Actually I already used one for a different device.
Here are the instructions. Tryed it but I'm not skilled enough...

Flashing Cyanogen MOD for our device can't make your phone not booting in Download mode. If you flashed wrong firmware, you could demage your motherboard and there is no solution for that I think...
What CM beta did you use?
P.S. And how do you think to use it if you can't power on the phone?

Don't know which version, if it's important I could ask.
I know it could be damaged the motherboard, but I think there's a possibility that it's just corrupted the bootable partition. In that case, inserting a bootable sd could recover the phone. Here has been done with an S3

It is not important what version, it is important if it was for our device or not.
Another question, is your phone dead or you get stuck on Samsung logo when you try to power it on. I think that sd boot does not mean anything if you can't power on your phone... As I saw, to do this you need adb shell access.

Totally dead. No adb access. Nevertheless I would like to try.

Sorry, I do not want to get you demotivated. But think, how would you get that command executed?
Here says:
3. After it's done writing the img, take out your SD card and put it into your phone. With the battery in the phone, insert the SD card, plug the phone into your machine, and try to boot to DL mode via the usual method. This WILL take several tries and possibly rewriting the img file to SD card again to work.
I know it's a very remote possibility...
Hi all, I have an i9000 with a broken screen and digitiser. I need to recover the data from it (pictures mainly). There is no display at all but the phone is working otherwise - I can hear it booting up and I can put it into Download and Recovery modes.
Unfortunately it's running the stock firmware so I can't use Recovery Mode to mount USB storage. When turned on normally, it will connect to my PC but obviously I can't press the button to mount storage (why doesn't it mount automatically???).
Does anyone have any ideas? I am considering flashing a new kernel to get CWM Recovery and possibly blindly mount USB storage. But I don't know the current stock firmware so I'm unsure which version of Semaphore/CF-root to flash...
Is there any other way? Other than buying another i9000 with a working LCD/digitiser which would be too expensive.

Try this: http://78.46.194.137/kernels/Semaphore_2.7.4.tar . Flash it via Odin.

Thanks for that. Is it definitely possible to flash it without interaction on the phone? I've flashed with Odin before but it's been a while.
If I did flash it successfully, do you know which version of CWM would it use? I need to know the exact order of options in the CWM Recovery so I could blind mount the USB storage...

Well, I'm on KK and I'm using a kernel different from the one I sent you (Higher Version). I will let you know after some research!
Why don't you get your phone to the nearest Samsung Service Center otherwise?

Cheers! I think it would be too expensive to take to a Service Centre unfortunately (plus there aren't any nearby). I'm looking at broken i9000s on Ebay at the moment, maybe I can find one for not too much and swap the parts over...

Annoyingly I think it's disabled - I have tried using adb but it doesn't show up under devices. It's my sister's phone which is why it's not rooted (or backed up!) etc.

Okay! After flashing the kernel I asked you to and getting into recovery mode, click the volume down button 5 times and then, enter it and click again.
NOTE: The Backup will take at max half an hour. So, I suggest you leave it on charging whilst it backs up and take a look at it after 1 hour

Thanks so much! Just to clarify - scrolling down 5 times and pressing enter twice mounts the USB storage? Then I can access the internal SD card and back up the contents using my PC?
Also for the flashing process - I put the phone in Download mode, connect it to PC and flash using Odin, selecting the 2.7.4 tar as PDA? Then disconnect phone and remove battery, then boot into CWM?
Also another issue I'm worried about is the current firmware on the phone, because apparently Semaphore 2.7.4 won't work on pre-JW4 firmwares. Is there any way to check the current firmware using Odin or something?

Scrolling down 5 times and clicking twice runs the backup. You don't need to mount USB Storage! As for the flashing process you're right and it will work as long as you have the USB Drivers installed!
And yeah, the thanks button is right there (where ever it is).

Oh OK, where does the backup go? I'm not using a MicroSD at the moment. I think it would be best for me just to mount the USB storage so I can retrieve the photos etc to my PC. I don't need a full backup, I just need to transfer the important files to my PC.
Also you may have missed my previous comment, I'll paste it here:

The Backup is mostly stored in the Internal SD Card. Regarding the flashing thing, Even if you flash a KK Kernel, it would boot to Recovery, but not to system.
