I've put myself in a bit of a hassle. I think I accidentally flashed the wrong ROM through Odin into my i9000 when being very stressed out, since I couldn't be reached while at work because of a boot loop.
Luckily I got saved by the fact that the OS still boots, thus allowing me to enter recovery or download mode using ADB.
But, I can't enter recovery or download mode using the three button combo anymore, seeing as my current ROM is performing too bad I'm now afraid to flash a new one. If I get stuck in a boot loop now I wouldn't know at all what to do.
TL;DR: What can I flash into my phone using Odin to make the three-button-combo functional again?
EDIT: Would "[ODIN] DarkyROM 10.2 Resurrection GT-I9000" work for me?
Cheers

My phone is already rooted and temporarily using CM9, but will flashing these files provide me with the correct firmware? And by firmware I mean which ever software is on a level low enough to handle key presses before boot.
Thanks
EDIT: From what I've read, it appears as the reason I can't enter download mode probably is because I don't have a primary bootloader. I'll try to flash the version with bootloader included.

I ran into another issue. I can't reboot to Download mode because I can't connect via ADB. I have USB debugging checked but it still won't show up in ADB. "su, reboot download" in Terminal Emulator doesn't do anything either. I have no clue what to try next.

I managed to start the download mode by pressing both volume buttons, and while having done so for about 1s I connected the USB. This brought up a message telling me to press VolUp to get to download mode and VolDown to reboot again. I was stumped by this seeing as nothing happened as I pressed VolUp, I then decided to press VolDown which got me to Download Mode.
I'll try to install XXJVK now. Cheers!
TL;DR: VolUp+VolDown -> Insert USB after about 1s -> Press VolDown even though it tells you to press VolUp

odin and download mode problems
hi there
i'm not just a Noob, i'm also very far from being a pro', so all the professional terms mean nothing to me. this is why the forum is very confusing for me...
I got my galaxy S Hebrew OS on it, wich turned out to be a troublemaker. i'ts a phone I bought in china, so it sill has strange chinees notifications no one can understand... and no facebook access, and I can't download skype (it says "skype is not available in your country", even when I had an israeli sim and israeli wifi).
I want to upgrade to Gingerbread (2.3.4), assuming it will erase any sign of the hebrew os, plus improve my phone generally.
I have a guide, odin3 and all the necessary files. when the phone is on download mode, the odin won't recognize the connection. I don't have kies, and when the phone in on ordinary mode there are no connection problems (i'm on "mass storage" in the usb options). I tried it with an israeli sim in, a chinees sim in, and without any sim at all. nothing works. everytime the computer reacts with sound and everything (this sad sound of "i know there's something there and can't connect it"). it's a new laptop with windows 7. I don't have another computer, but I can go to a friend's house if there's a chance win xp would work... should I? are there any other known solutions for this problem?
in addition- do you know (or does anybody know) how can I fix the chinees problems (blocks?) with facebook, skype etc.?
*** i'd be glad to receive answers by mail instead of filling the forum with my stupid questions
thank you anyway

Hi there, first I have to explain that I have flashed custom ROM's before, but am not technical at all. This time I tried to update from JB 4.1 to 4.2 and now the word 'Semaphone' is on my screen and nothing else is happening. Is this fixable? Please, please help me if it is.

Sorry to be such a nuisance, but I am a complete beginner. I have Odin, I have downloaded the two files, where do I put what to flash it?! :laugh:

Sorry for being off topic, but why the hell do you flash a 4.2 Version when the source was released just yesterday? I'm even wondering where you got that version from? Oo
Sent from my Gameboy Color

Okay I got this from the post, so I'm gonna elaborate this to you so you do it correctly, okay? Note this, I'm using the XDA app to reply this.
1. Turn on USB debugging.
2. Open Odin on your computer. Select OPS - AriesVE.ops(Odin) and Select BOOT - Boot_loader.tar.
3. Turn off your phone and go into Download Mode(Volume Down + Home + Power Button)
4. Connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable.
5. Check Odin. If Odin detects your phone, it will appear yellow and state Com: 0 or something like that.
6. Then, flash your phone. Wait for it to complete the process and let Odin reboot your phone.
If problem still persist, please do tell me.
Another note, this is base on my experience and I'm not on or near my computer. So I'm sorry if anything happens.
Good luck!

Many thanks, I've got it sorted and running a Jellybean Rom again! Hurray! I thought I had messed it up forever. Lesson learned. Will not try that again............

Your welcome! I hope my assist helped you whether big or small! :thumbup:
Just make sure, you do the regular protocols, backup everything and wipe data etc.
If you want a fresh phone(meaning to delete your current/older rom for a newer one), you could always format system(formatting the system will delete your ROM, meaning your phone will not boot until you flash another ROM).

No improvement yet
I tried charging...bt since it's bricked it doesnt charge at all....it doesnt show the "charging" screen when i plug in the adapter

My s/w update screen is NO LONGER coming
I first bricked the fone and a "Security Error" was showing...
The online solution that i found was to enter "s/w update" and flash a ROM using SmartFlash Tool
That happened...i mean the flash happened but the SECURITY ERROR persisted
But after flashing a few times i cant even enter the "s/w update" anymore
Can anyone help??
Could this be because my battery is out of charge?????

First of all - Please format your posts into paragraphs. People don't like reading a wall of text and will probably make it less likely for you to receive help.
(Im going to assume you haven't made a Nandroid backup and made a safe copy)
I'm new to Android a couple of months so there will be people on here with more experience than me who might be able to help you with an easier/quicker method, but this is what I would do:-
Download the latest Android Revolution HD (a Sense-based ROM that is the same as stock but better - read about it), other Sense-based ROMs are available but I like ARHD.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023
Rename it to something like arhd.zip
Use the All-in-one-toolkit to side-load the ROM to your phone. It will begin to install automatically. Use the volume/power keys to install - it makes it less likely for the installer to crash.
There would be no need to root as ARHD comes already rooted.
You could also look/ask around for a Nandroid backup of your device/carrier and adb side-load to your phone but that would be more work for you. This would put your phone back to stock like new again. The best guide I've seen on here for people new to flashing,backups, etc. is here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
**Tampered** happens I think when you flash a custom recovery. S-ON is normal - don't worry about it.
Good Luck. Hope I've helped...
If I've made any mistakes here, someone please correct me...

To be honest mate I can't totally remember, I've only used it once and it's been a few weeks since I messed my phone up and had to use the toolkit sideload to fix it. I'm on a Mac at the moment so can't even check. It wasn't too hard to figure out though!
The toolkit (by hasoon) you already have is the toolkit I'm talking about. Sideload is just installing the ROM from somewhere else when it's not stored on your phone. (i.e. on your PC).
The installer (if you get that far) is called 'Aroma' and quite buggy when using the touchscreen so just use the volume keys to move around the options and the power button to select them.

Ty lol, Im currently using volume and power button to moving in the bootloader, it a brand new phone and im panic lol. Ill try all of that tomorrow

I was too, but if you can reach the recovery screen then it will be ok and there will be a way of fixing it somehow.

Like I said, I can't remember 100%, but its in the toolkit under 'Extras' -> 'Sideload a ROM' or something similar. It might even guide you through the steps. There's probably guides and videos online somewhere. Just call your zip file something simple to help reduce the chance of error.
Not sure I understand what you're saying... If you press recovery, you're taken to the recovery screen?

the tool work from fastboot mode in bootloader. so you must be in bootloader to use it but the toolkit has options that will boot the phone into bootloader

Tried what before? When you press 'fastboot' on the device nothing major happens on the phone - it's waiting for commands from your PC.
Edit - Too late, what he said ^^

It keep saying in cmd that device not found

Try to push it to your device without the toolkit. Read this site
http://m.androidcentral.com/android-201-10-basic-terminal-commands-you-should-know
Use adb push command to send the ROM to your phone while in fastboot mode. Once it's on your phone, just go into recovery and install it from zip.
Place the 'android-tools' folder you download from that site directly onto your c:/ drive, not on your desktop etc. It just makes it easier.

Forgot to say - put the arhd.zip ROM into that folder also.
Try to go into recovery first to see what folders you have, if any. I had a folder called '0' when I messed up so my command would have been
adb push arhd.zip /sdcard/0

[Q] Ace Wont Go into CWM Recovery mode

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??

Did you flash the correct software for your model of device?

I think you just bricked your phone, you have to flash a stock Rom.
Recovery Mode: Power + Home + Vol Up.

Bro try going to download mode by pressing vol down+power+home press it for 7-8 seconds then flash multi pakage firmware from sammobile.com
and the link is for ace s5830i not ace s5830 check the link for your stock firmware

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.
