hi ,
I got a Samsung Galaxy Pop GT-S5570i , from my brother , who lives abroad
i used it for about 1 week, and 1 of my friends was playing games on it ( downloaded from google play)
when suddenly it got stuck . so i removed the battery and switched it back on,
and so it was stuck on boot loop(after the samsung logo comes on , it just restarts it self)
i havent ROOTED it or try any thing on the handsets software
So i took it 2 a service center near where i live, they said if they fix it ,i might lose the warranty given it was brought from abroad. and if there might be any hardware complaint , i should just throw my cell in a gutter
so what do u think i should i do? sent my handset back 2 my brother ( which is very expensive )
or fix it here & risk losing all that money if there is any hardware complaint ???
On yT are some howto videos, but I think that all of them is based on flash ROM, which can may cause loosing of warranty. When my phone stuck on bootloop, I decided to flash to custom ROM. So my advice is to learn some pros and cons of custom ROMs, and moov forward.. O Good luck!

I'm not good at this , I've tried with odin .. but it gets stuck ... please someone kind enough , help me get it back to its default state ... i have no idea what I'm doing here ... and i'm kinda desperate i need the phone asap

Flash a i9001 rom using odin
so I've been trying for 5 hours to fix my semi-bricked phone and I can't do anything .... I've tried with odin 4.43 and some stock ROM-s ... but it gets stuck ... god damn it what should I do , i have no warranty ... GSM service , do they know how to fix things like these? it seems complicated
http[dots]//img18[dot]imageshack.us/img18/6763/96005243[dot]jpg ---> i get stuck with odin here
L.E
So I finally managed to fix it with AiresVE.ops , MultiLoader Odin v.4.43 and an official ROM from sammobile , it took 8 minutes but I had to do it on my laptop. Thanks for everything guys.
Hi,
some time ago i got the same problem But don't worry it's easy to solve..
Just download this one:

and download this one to get a stock rom:

then copy both .zips to your external sd and then boot into recovery (press vol+ and power button.. wait 3-5sec and release.. when the android thing & a box appears press and hold the home button (the left touchbutton))
if you're now in the recovery mode, click on "install update via zip" or something like that..
then you navigate to your external sd where the 2 files are
then you install the teamwinrecovery (zip file) after that you shutdown your system (pull the battery^^)
then boot again into recovery and you will see a new recovery (it's the teamwinrecovery)
this can be controlled with your touchscreen
now you click again on "install update via zip" or something like that an navigate again to your external sd..
for that you should navigate on the tip level and open a folder called "emmc"
There you install the other zip (it's your rom) an wait until it's finished
it will reboot automatically
If you get stuck in a recovery loop you should flash the bootloader with odin.. (instructions are given in the teamwinrecovery thread)
Good Luck and sorry for my horrible English
You can send me a pm if you have questions

Are you sure you cannot go into the download mode aka ODIN mode?
Volume down+Home button+Power button simultaneously
And if you are not be able to go into it, omg the only solution is to send it to a repair shop where JTAG exist A technician used a JTAG on my Xperia X10 Mini Pro when it got Hardbricked but thankfully, it brought back to life. Goodluck to you
Hi Guys,
**Alert : Noob Here **
So, I decided to install some custom ROM on my Samsung Galaxy ACE S5830 and went through loads of information on how to do so. So this is what i did - ( from the start) :
a. Rooted the phone ( from a file called upd_1.zip ( 925KB) by going into recovery mode)..
It worked fine and my phone got a 'superuser' on the application drawer.
b. Installed 'recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix' using the recover mode. ( had to rename the file to update.zip coz the recovery mode was not reading the file ).. Worked properly as i got another application 'CWM' on my application drawer.
c. Now, just to check if my CWM was doing good in recovery mode, I switched off my cell, pressed 'vol-up + home + power-up' button to go into recovery mode.. I got some text on the top left corner of the screen with a SAMSUNG logo on the screen...and then it got stuck there...i waited for some time but nothing happened.
I removed the battery and tried switching on the phone normally ( just power-up the phone ) (just to ensure that it still works) and now, the phone is stuck with the SAMSUNG logo on the screen and doesn't work at all !!!
I am confused as after installing CWM, i did switch on the phone normally and it seemed to work fine..but now after I pressed 'vol-up + home + power-up' buttons, its stuck at the black screen with LOGO on it...
Any clue what's wrong with my phone??

I think you just bricked your phone, you have to flash a stock Rom.

You have used the wrong combo & have got yourself in the ram dump mode. The combination for recovery is, power + home button simultaneously & when something appears on phone, leave the power button while still holding the home key. Btw, no need to announce a high alert that you're a noob or such unless you're a badass
@ Ppl : Read what he's done carefully & reply if you know. Don't confuse the newbies.

Haha - the alert was just for the experienced guys to not use 'experts terminology' while explaining me what to do
Well, I tried following your method. I help d home button and the power button and let go for the power button when 'SAMSUNG' appeared while still holding the home button...but nothing happened.. The screen is stuck at that particular screen itself with no progress..
Should I flash my phone with stock firmware as advised by the guys above?
GUYS !!!
I restored the phone with stock ROM and a tutorial from another member about flashing stock ROM from ODIN got my cell working !!!
Yayyy !!!
( I was **** scared when read the line that if the flashing fails in first 15 secs ( boot loader flashing) my phone is bricked ):fingers-crossed:
Thanks a lot guys - all of you ...for the help...:victory:
**BUT**
I still want to instal custom ROM to my device...and since I ve committed a mistake in he past doing so, will any1 would be kind enough to show me the path ( link ) to enlightenment ( installing custom ROM from the start ) ?
So,
I thought its better to search for things ranther than troubling you guys to spoon feed me everything...
For rooting, I am gonna try doing everything from the start and be a little more attentive.
1. So, from hubix's guide, I downloaded the below mentioned bold file:
"SuperOneClick 2.3.3 (for 2.2> firmwares) or Universal Gingerbread Root/Unroot (for 2.3< firmwares)"
2. To install CWM , i downloaded the following file :
"ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 (Fixed!)""
3. Since my phone Android version is 2.3.6, I would go with 'Db' method of rooting :
"Db. Rooting for 2.3.x (NEW METHOD!):
Download file called universal_gb_root_v25.zip and copy it to your sdcard
Turn off your phone
Press POWER+HOME BUTTON
Select update from sdcard, select the file universal_gb_root_v25.zip
After the update completed - reboot
Now you have rooted S5830"
4. Then, follow up the the Flash Custom Recovery steps from the same page, which is as follows :
Put recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace.zip into SD Card
Turn off your phone
Press POWER+HOME BUTTON
Select Update Zip From SD-Card option. [If you are on previous version of CWM recovery then you might need to select Install Zip From SD Card and then Choose Zip From SD Card Option simultaneously. ]
Select recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace.zip and flash it
Reboot your device
Please let me know if I am correct or will following these steps would screw up my phone again ???
You're correct.

Cool..now coming to installing the custom ROM, can I install any custom ROM ? Because in few of the ROM's, there is something mentioned as
"This Rom is based on CyanogenMod 10.1 for Galaxy Ace"
What is this supposed to mean ?? Are there any other parameters which decide on the factors on what ROMs can be costumed installed??
( for example in some ROM i also saw something to do with ext partition )

I probably can't. But you can try as followed:
- Install Samsung drivers + start ODIN (You probably already have)
- Pull out battery
- Put in USB cable (I'm sure you have tried another cable yet)
- Press key combo for download mode (Vol down + power + home)
- Put the battery back in while still holding down the keys.

find cf root, or use semaphore kernel
bootloop becoz wrong kernel flashed, knowing ur build number is important to determine which cf root u needed
if u find da suitable kernel, bootloop will fix by flashing thru odin, but ur sayin u dont even know da version here, so it become more difficult.

Try this:
This feature is great for people who
a) Have a bad KIES flash
b) Stuff up their phone somehow
c) Accidentally flash something dodgy via ODIN
d) Some other random occurence
To test this feature you just need to start with your phone turned off... Best way to be sure is to remove the battery.
Then
1. Put battery back in
2. Press and hold Volume Up + Home Key
3. Continue holding those buttons and then press and hold power button.
4. When you see the logo pop up release power button ONLY
5. Keep holding two buttons from step 2 until you enter recovery mode.
I hope this helps!
Nope not one button combo works i tried it all.

DUDE!!!! I have the samsung galaxy s4 att sgh-i337. I recently just tried flashing uxylon from the goo manager . I did standard procedure of factory reset twice, then cache and dalvik cache wipe two times. Just so happens as Im waiting for uXylon or whatever its spelled to flash , my phone decides to stay at the boot screen.... At this point im sweating. After a few minutes i take the battery out and restart regularly . I restart and wait 10 minutes thinking it still may flash uxylon. NOPE. :,( Now im getting really scared. I try to the custom recovery mode.... no twrp OR SYSTEM RECOVERY .... Now Im Falling over scared. I take out battery try again. power , home , volume up , repeatedly . It wont even say booting recovery it only says recovery options then black screen untill I release the buttons. . Then bootloop to logo no recovery. Now Im frantic. I look up adam outler's page on ODIN recovery with stock firmware and ddownload ucuadml and ucuamdb not knwoing which , if either of them , would flash through ODIN. So im frantically flying through the web for 3 hours searching some magic button combo or something that may help me just reach my recoveries in twrp (since the computer would not recognize even in download mode) . I look everywhere. EVERYWHERE. This point i figure i can try odin and its my last chance. Im waiting on the firware to download right now to this second as I type . Somehow God magically guided me to this page though ... because I did about 300 google searches looking for a way to get my twrp back and use my nandroids. NOTHING until now..... I run across this post and move down and come across your post. "have you tried this button combo ? " I read the next comment . "NO no combos worked." Clciked forward a few pages and found nothing. Im giving up ... its over... Either ODIN will work and flash my stock firmware or I will have no way to turn my paper weight back into a cell phone. As Im click the back button i come across THIS post YOUR actual comment. I read it and think ... I didnt try that. I tried it the way you posted. Home + volume up ... nothing happens .... I add the power button and it boots same way as before booloop. Im infuriated..... I press it again the way you posted and suddenly ..... TWRP's beautiful blue screen pops up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I rostroe my cleanROM 1.0 nand and Im back up . I seriously just want to thank you for posting this little comment that you probably thought would never really help anyone at all. This truly TRULY just saved my phone . I mean you just saved my day , brother. Seriously thank you . Im so happy right now it's like I bought a brand new s4 lol. Thank you so much buddy. Real talk. :highfive:

find cf root, or use semaphore kernel
bootloop becoz wrong kernel flashed, knowing ur build number is important to determine which cf root u needed
if u find da suitable kernel, bootloop will fix by flashing thru odin, but ur sayin u dont even know da version here, so it become more difficult.
