GT-S5830
ive had this phone for 3 weeks and i bought an 8GB MicroSD card for it. all of a sudden i couldnt recieve texts messages it kept saying memory full so i deleted a few apps id downloaded and yet still the same problem... i then deleted all the text messages but still had the same problem and had no idea how to fix it. I took to google and was advised to download Gemini file manager to move apps from my handset to my MicroSD but when i tried to transfer them it stuck on 0% and wouldnt work. Yesterday my phone switched itself off then booted back up but it stuck on the Samsung boot logo and didnt move then kept repeating this process of switching itself off and sticking at the boot logo.
I have no idea what im meant to do and if it is indeed bricked and where do i go from here?
i am on contract with Tesco and it has only been about 3 weeks. i Have no done anything to the phone like try to update it in anyway possible, can anyone please help me out here? or is it the fact ive used Gemini File Manager to move files?
Flash Stock ROM with ODIN.
Here is a guide:
http://techdraginfo.blogspot.com/2012/06/install-official-android-236-xwktm.html
how can i manage step 5
5. Enable USB Debugging in your Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 from the path “Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging”. The option of USB Debugging should be ticked.
if i cant get my phone to turn on past the samsung boot logo? and is this 100% safe?
No, boot into download mode, then use ODIN, nothing to do with debug mode.

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

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!
Sent from my GT-I9400 using XDA Premium
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

Hi ive galaxy note which has totally no life in it. No power nothing at all. I tried a rom update from GB firmware to ICS 4.04 but it crashed and rebooted. Ive tried to restore firmware but cant get phone to connect to pc. Ive tried usb jig but nothing. No download mode or recovery works. Its 7 months old so was wondering if samsung would repair it for free under warranty? Please reply and all help will be appreciated.
Tick "allow automatic updating" for all the installed apps in palystore
And then go to playstore settings>auto update apps

If your phone is not rooted and binary count is 0,they will probably fix it under warrenty
Even though if your binary count is not 0,as it is unable to enter download or recovery mode,they should fix it for free
Hi and thanks for the info.
Service center guys will fix it just take it to them..Best of luck with it

I updated the phone with that prompt.... After the whole update process screen displayed that phone update is complete and reboot the phone which i did Since then phone is dead, displaying nothing :crying:
I tried every solution on google but phone is not going into any mode "downloading" or "recovery" however for the first time when it all happened i tried to connect it to laptop and punched the combination of keys into phone the laptop for a while recognized and installed the drivers for the same but it didnt come up as a drive or anything, Now it is not even recognizing the phone connected. :crying:

When I was on GB, I got a software update and by mistake I tapped on "Install"... ( I didn't want to install because I was using custom kernel)... so after the update downloaded.. it went to Recovery or something to install but it couldn't.. my phone showed me an "Broken Android" logo or something and turned off... After turning it on everything was OK (fortunately)...

If the ota killed ur phone they will not charge u anything for the repair, search for official Samsung service centre.

umm ????galaxy tab 2 ????? I think your in the wrong forum, this is the HTC One M7 forum, and if you got those rom's from here, im not surprised they are failing, they are not for your device in any way, shape or form, stop flashing now, you will seriously break your device beyond repair.
