Can't connect to pc

Bought this Galaxy S yesterday
I cant get it to connect to my pc
i have done the following.
-installed and reinstalled Kies several times
-Installed and reinstalled drivers several times
-Tried 4 different usb cables
-Tried in USB debugging mode
My phone connects to the pc and then i get a message that my phone is not recognized (windows error 43)
The phone does charge . I have tried all of the options like Samsung Kies , Mass storage , Media player
Nothing seems to work when i select media player option the mpt application starts to crash , i have read on forums that if the mtp crashes i can just select mass storage mode but when i select mass storage mode my pc says device not recognized
When i checked the Build info it says on Kernel Version 2.6.29 [email protected] #4
Firmware version is 2.1-update-1
Build number is Eclair.XWJM2
Please help me with this , i thought maybe there if i flash everything but in order to flash it i need to connect it to my pc which is becoming impossible

What are you trying to do? Update your phone through kies? Or do you plan on using Odin?

I'm trying to see if the issue gets resolved after upgrading the firmware
My computer detects the phone but says there is something wrong with the device
So i guess Odin will also be unable to detect it

Well uninstall kies.. install the samsungs USB drivers and see if Odin detects your phone... and if it does flash the firmware of your choice

Are you absolutely sure that the guy sold it coz he WANTED to, & not coz he HAD to??
It's quite probable that he damaged it & then since can't fix it, so sold it away!
Anyway, Try factory reset!
If that doesn't work,
Use the Volume DOWN+Home+Power button combo to get into DOWNLOAD MODE, THEN see if the PC detects a device connected. With all those drivers, it should.
If it does, then you can go ahead & flash it using Odin, or EZOdin

[q] downloading do not turn off target

HELP HELP HELP -- I recently plugged my phone into my com to transfer music. samsung kies then started up and told me i needed a firmware upgrade. I proceeded to upgrade and mid upgrade i received an on screen message that my device wasn't recognised and the upgrade was auto cancelled. I now have a message with bright yellow/green trianle that says "do not turn off target". I have reinstalled kies - no luck. knocked phone on and off -no luck. i'm at a loss with what to do with the phone now !! phone not even being recognised by com or kies. Can anyone help please??? many many thanks in advance... thanks. ian.

Seems that you're new to that, so let me explain: if you see the yellow triangle with the android, you're in download mode. Normally, you access it by pressing power+home+vol down buttons while screen is off. As long as you can access download mode, your device isn't bricked. Now that you can't access anything else than download mode, you have to flash a new firmware with Odin. I recommend you to search for the JW4 firmware here in general section. There you should find help on how to flash it(best is Faryaab's thread).

maybe you can try and do a hard reset and flash a ROM from yr SD card..reboot in recoverymode..if the phone does not reboot..try and run the rooting program,might work.But most likely you'll have to reinstall the firmware...

Yep, I don't think that he has rooted, so flashing a ROM won't work.

hmmm....i get it..best thing to do i think,when it's up and running again..DoOMlords easy rooting kit worked fine for me.No problem getting it to work and you've got more options to fix any problem..good luck to the poster anyway xx

I don't really think that he rooted his phone ever before, so I don't think that he needs root now... but if he wants to try it out, CF-root or DoOMlords rooting kit are the right choises.

Please help, person who solve my problem i will donate 20 pound with paypall

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!

awesome

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

Errmm.. dude. Lol service center. Any Galaxy Ace rom manager touches is automatically destroyed.

Just have a try at the service center. If they won´t repair your phone you can use it paperweight.

That's not the spirit of XDA...

Galaxy Ace Possible Bricked But Why?

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.

i had gone there they said that they have to change the hardware and it will take around 1 and half month for that "part" to arrive :/ and i think they will charge hefty sum, so i brought the phone back so that i could try the alternative....
still any workarounds guys??

Agreed with Shaan... try another shop then...
but I still don't get it.. how can a software update "kill" your phone..?
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. If I were u, I would try to open odin with the jb tar, connect the phone without the battery and while pressing vol(-) + power + home, as soon as it recognize the device press start to flash
