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.

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
Sent from my SGA rocking CM7.2 by vo-1 + all-in-one script
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?

Read all the previous no way out loop boot
Hi every body
i have installed cwm, custum firmware, every thing goes ok
tryed to use simlock remover, no message, turned off the Galaxy Ace but after rebooting, a continuous loop boot, no acces to recovery, flashing on wath ever firmware version with odin success but on rebooting the loop is back, help please.
PS : while flasing with odin : "big partition size!!"
hello,
i bought a fresh n7000 with stock ics firmware on it. i wanted to go to paranoid android.
1. i rooted the stock ics
2. found out that i need gingerbread to flash custom firmware
3. installed sdk, driver on ubuntu
4. installed heimdall, as its the odin for linux
5. downloaded N7000XXKJ4 from samfirmware.com
6. extracted it to have the single images to flash with heimdall 1.3.1
7. booted in download mode, attached the phone to usb and hitted detect device in heimdall
8. device was found
9. started flashing, first without repartition
boot.img as BOOT
param.lfs as PARAM
factoryfs.img as FACTORYFS
cache.img as CACHE
zImage as KERNEL
Sbl.bin as SBL1
hidden.img as HIDDEN
modem.bin as MODEM
10. flashing went all thru, the phones screen showed the progress also
11. phone did a reboot, after all flashing was done
12. stuck at bootscreen
13. found in the web that its normal and i should do a factory reset in the recovery (its not cwm)
14. stuck at bootscreen
15. repeated step 9. with pit file and repartition
16. same bootscreen
i know the phone is not dead, just not booting, but i have absolutely no chance to find out what to flash exactly and how to do it.
hm could i now just flash the abyss kernel and cwm recovery.bin or so and install a custom rom?
if you are now on GB then flash a kernel, either in CWM or odin and do a full factory reset along with all caches and dalvik cache.
i wouldnt recommend flashing a custom ROM until the stock rom is booting, you dont want to be covering up any underlying errors.
Also, Why did you re-partition ? Did you re-partition using a 3 file firmware (PDA, CSC, Phone) or just a single firmware - PDA ??
hm i dont know on what i am, because it doesnt boot.
i thought i eventually had to repartition because i changed from 4.0 to 2.3.5 ... i used the n7000 16gb pit file.
Well what did ODIN say ? Did it complete or did it get stuck and fail ?
You can flash a kernel in ODIN which should allow you to enter CWM and do a wipe, However you might get issues if you flash a GB kernel over ICS Firmware and vice versa
heimdall ran complete through, said its all fine and the phone rebooted at the end of flashing as it should be. seems all perfect.
the issues i get can not be worse?! if i would now flash a gb kernel, even if there is ics under the hood, the phone would also just not boot?!
I dont know really, Ive never tried, nor do i intend to lol.
But i imagine GB is now on your phone considering it all passed without fail So i guess you should try to flash a kernel and then do a full wipe and see if it boots then
chances are there are some ICS files left on the system preventing it from booting.
and following the guides on xda im not allowed to flash the other kernel with heimdall/odin.
i should use the cf-kernel for my firmware and flash it with the bat-script, is this correct?
Just flash this in ODIN and you will be fine
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/69014495/GingerBread-speedmod-kernel-n7000-k2-12-Odin.tar
boot into recovery, do a factory reset, then clear cache partition, then go to advanced and clear dalvik cache, then reboot
then report back
ok. now i have the yellow triangle. i wanted to avoid this.
BUT it looks very promising. clockword mod is starting. did the wipes. and when i reboot it boots directly in cwm. i think this is good atm.
i have to leave at work now. tomorrow morning i can flash a rom with cwm right? and if i flash an ics rom, then i have to flash a ics kernel, too?!
Dont worry about the triangle, Use this app to remove it https://dl.dropbox.com/u/69014495/eu.chainfire.triangleaway-47fe5bbd55070e4eddce741c0ef13110.apk
Like i said above, Make sure the phone boots before flashing any other ROMs. If you want to upgrade to ICS you will need to flash ICS in ODIN, Unless you want to use a CM9 / AOSP based ROM like Paranoid Android, In this case you will stay on GB, Just full wipe and flash ROM in CWM
EDIT: I mis read your post, Your phone is not booting, But only booting into CWM, In this case, try a custom ROM, Nothing to extreme just a simple GB ROM and see if it boots properly then
thanks so much!
flashed checkrom notehd via cwm. boots clean and nicely up.
i flashed/rooted some phones before htc hero, hd2, zte blade. but none of them, even the hd2 with its windows conversion was as unclear as the n7000. i think because in former times the developers wherent as many as actual, and there were much less guides/tuts/howtos which made an user less unsecure.
nevertheless, your support is gorgeous: friendly, fast and ultracompetent.

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

you should flash the stock rom got 3 type file, that mean the file after download got pda, csc and modam file, like 2.3.6 XXjvu, please dont flash the file after download only have 1 file only, like XXjw5.
I tried upgrading my international N7000 to CM10.3 following the instructions in

When i tried flashin from my Mac iusing Heimdall,
the download finished on the mac, but on the N7000
it still showed the blue line etc. I waited a lng time and tried
rebooting, but got the above.
Re-flashing in Heimdall had no effect.
I then tried flashing
hardcore-speedmod-ics-recovery-n7000.tar
using Odin 3.185 from my VMwars Fusion XP install,
and that seemed to finish ok, but no luck either.
I looked for the latest CWM 6.0.4.3 recovery, but I cannot find any
odin-flashable format for it, and of course I cannot use the sdcard
as I cannot even boot into any recovery as is.
Can anyone suggest next steps?

1st things 1st. Why would u use heimdall or odin? And what is your current ROM before trying to flash CM 10.3, was it stock? You should have looked for CWM recovery or Philz safe kernels as base when doing ROM flashing ESPECIALLY custom roms. From what you said, then can you still boot into download mode? I have no knowledge of heimdall so just download Stock Firmware, flash it with odin and see if you can boot your N7000 first.
The worst case scenarios is you are experiencing emmc bug-brick. go to the thread and read carefully to deduce your type of 'brick' and find solutions there. Good Luck.
I was on a stock 4.0.4 (but rooted). I originally tried flashing the cwm from the sd card, but after starting to load it it also just hung,
so I looked for an alternative..
I found a post on stockroms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997) but the links all point to hotfile.com. which my browser says it cannot find. is hotfile dead? Is there an alternative?

I'm sorry so did u succeed or did you not succeed in installing the custom rom? If your custom rom boots fine then all u need is to search for solving status 7 error thread. My advice to all noobs is to always try n avoid installimg anything except stock rom in odin. Always read and re read before flashing anything that's beyond your knowledge. Basic knowledge of flashing cusroms is :
1. ALWAYS make sure you're on SAFE and COMPATIBLE KERNEL. Most rom threads ALWAYS Include threads/links to a specific recovery/kernel to use. Read n RE READ that.
2. Wipe everything IN RECOVERY mode before flashing a rom.

If you're able to boot up properly n prompted to wipe, then do it. But do it in recovery not on device.
Ok, I downloaded one of the stock kernels for my internatinal N7000, but flashing that with Odin 3.185 hangs about 3/4 through (has now been

Before that, do u have KIES installed? KIES is NOT compatible with odin and will cause potential trouble. So is some firewall and antivirus apps. You need to disable all of them before using odin. Please search the thread http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ for stock rom site.

Of course you fail... When using ODIN, U should have downloaded the .tar. if you downloaded a zip. then unzip it first to get the tar file, then you flash it with odin. All requests are included in the stock.tar And PLEASE DO NOT Play with PIT files if you don't know what you are doing.
So now what you need to do is. :
1. DISABLE KIES (Uninstall it better), Your firewall, antivirus.
2. Install CORRECT Samsung USB driver. (Search keyword "download samsung N7000 usb drivers")
3. Unzip your zip file and extract the tar.file.
4. Run ODIN as Administrator (Right click/run as)
5. Go to download mode. connect your device to Pc/laptop.
6. Wait until Odin detects your device, click AP/PDA and choose the tar file you extracted.
7. DO NOT tick partition.
8. Let it run
Of course I unzipped the zip to get a SINGLE .tar.md5, but flashing that fails on factoryfs about 3/4 through. consistently.

His link to ROMS were basically the same ones you can download at sammobile.
I've a i9000 and i9300 which I don't really use so I thought I'd do some updating.
A while back I put CM11 on the i9000, and put it on the i9300 yesterday, then I thought I'd root them, that's when the problems started!
Booted into download mode and used Odin to put the firmware on, it reports successful but the phone doesn't boot past the first screen.
I used the CF-Root file -XX_OXA_JVT-v4.3-CWM3RFS.tar but I've also tried JVR, JVS, JVU, JVZ and JW4 out of desperation....with the same results.
I'm glad I started with the i9000, and I'd like to try to recover it, but I'm at a loss now :crying:
That CF kernel is for stock JVT. Hopefully you didn't try it for CM11?
It would last to flash a full firmware, reboot once, and after that you can flash compatible custom kernel (same image contains also custom recovery).
We have quite good sticky threads in this section that can guide you. Which Odin version did you use? 1.83 and 1.82 are the last ones with full compactibility for the i9000.

Recovering the phone as above also puts ClockworkMod on, but it fails to install the ROM with file signature errors, trying both the CM and Gapps gives the same error.
Also trying to install ClockworkMod using heimdall as I did previously also give an error
Code:
Session begun.
Downloading device's PIT file...
PIT file download successful.
ERROR: Partition "kernel" does not exist in the specified PIT.
Ending session...
Releasing device interface...
All I want is CMmod back on again!
After quite a few attempts at different ways and a few 'black screens of death' I've managed to get it completely back to stock using heimdall following this. My head is spinning!
Now I've just got to start with CWmod and CMmod again. Now it's stock I'm tempted to try and root it.....but that was the start of the problems last time!
After trying to root again and another bricking I decided to give up with the root!
The issue is when trying to install CWmod I get the same error as in post #4, which means I'm completely lost now as the phone was back to stock.
[email protected] Ok coming from a Windows background I forget about case, and the CMmod wiki is incorrect. The issue is as I've had my head spinning so much I forgot I did this last time!

This was totally wrong way to install. Who adviced you to flash CyanogenMod with Heimdall? Are you not reading install instructions at all?
I adviced you yesterday to go with sticky threads here.

I'm not! I'm trying to install ClockworkMod using heimdall, I install Cyanogen from the SD after entering recovery mode.

You have to flash a stock firmware and after that compatible kernel for it, as kernel and recovery share the same image on the i9000. So unlike other devices, the recovery can not be flashed separately. That's why the kernel must be compatible with the ROM.
If you have flashed once ROM based on Android 4.3 or higher, your partitions sizes have been modified and you must flash also PIT file together with stock firmware and enable re-partition.

Yes I've also flashed the PIT, I used the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196179
which included it.
I will try to recover it using the sticky at the top of the forum then try CWmod again.
Thanks for the help [emoji3]

If you're using Heimdall, be sure to use v1.31 as the later versions aren't working so good on the i9000 anymore.
Do you use Linux or Windows as your PC's OS?

I'll grab an older version of Heimdall as I think I downloaded the latest.
I'm using Windows (7 64 bit).... along with it's USB driver idiosyncrasies

I restored the phone to stock from your instructions at the top of the forum, then tried a rooted ROM.
Everything went fine, although I'm not sure if I had root access (as it worked I didn't bother to check). Then I tried CWmod but it still failed to install, so went back to stock again.....it still wouldn't install
From the ClockworkMOD website..
Download recovery -- you can directly download a recovery image using the link below, or visit clockworkmod.com/rommanager to check for the latest version of ClockworkMod recovery for your device (if your device can be found there).
Recovery: Semaphore_2.7.4.tar

If you use their link (me being lazy did) then it fails, but go to the website and find the image then it works!! It's a slightly different filesize, so maybe a different version?
The ironic thing it that on the CyanogenMOD site it mentions that the phone hasn't got to be rooted to install it, but what I didn't realise was CyanogenMOD it also installs a different firmware...which is rooted!!
At least through all this I'm a bit wiser as to flashing the phone etc :good:
@eusty Rom Manager app is useless for i9000, except for reading the names of nandroid backups.
