[Q]Galaxy Ace Hard Brick by flashing s5830i ROM on s5830.
so my Questions are:
- Will Jig USB work on it?
- what will Samsung Service Center cost/charge?? As mobile was import from other country & its warranty ended 3 months ago also.
- A shop does offer JTag service & its listed on http://www.jtagbox.com/category/jtag-dealers/ how much should i pay them for it??
How it got Bricked?
- by mistake flashed s5830i ROM Retribution beta 4 on s5830
- when selected Restart after Installation Completed, cell phone never turned back On again.
thanks waiting for your responses
I did the same thing to my first phone...flashing a rom while i was tried..didnt see the i...duh.. luckily I got a replacement for free from koodo cause i was within 14 days. Not sure if it can be fixed by the service center or the cost but it is definitely hard bricked. Sorry.
Sadly to say, it is hard brick. I did the same on my phone once, flashed with S5830i and that was it, i tried Odin method, jib USB but it never even turned on. Luckily my warranty was still on course and the phone center never made it to turn on again, so they replaced the motherboard for a new one and it worked. I never tried the riff jtag but i've heard is the only method to bring a phone to life after hard brick. Good luck
If your phone is still in warranty and it does not turn on at all
Just go to service center act all nooby and tell them I was using the phone and suddenly it switched off and did not switch on again
They will never be able to figure out it was rooted or anything

Can one of you Indian users here please tell me which is the stock rom in India (preferably with output of *#12345#)?
Anybody know how to get back the "pop" boot animation?
The background:-
I have to take my phone to the ASS. The (loud) speaker wont work, ever since it returned from hard brick. Since I was busy, did not bother to fix it then, instead went ahead and ... what else .... of course, rooted it and am currently running tj's CM 7.1.
Of course, I have tried stock "asia" firmware from samfirmware. (Z5ska something).
But, it shows the "mini" logo. When the phone came out it was running Froyo. And showed "GT S5570 POP" while booting; now it shows "GT S 5570 mini" at boot time. And the buggered ROM boots into Chinese / Greek / Korean / Japanese / whatever. And is much more difficult than the Russian (where escaping from the initial language is much more easier).
Since the phone is working, it is important that it is as close to stock as possible before it take it to the a/s/s/.
PS:- have tried the "press on the speaker" and "play a long video for 2 hours or more" fixes; but that has not helped fixing the loud speaker problem. So, if you can help fe fix this, it will be still fine. :-D Otherwise, the phone is working fine.
its DDKA7 from sammobile.com Thats the India Stock POP rom. dude I bricked my phone. Black screen. My phone is 2 months old and I have the bill with the warranty . Will Service center fix the phone for free? what should I tell them >? Please help.

I am a bit confused by this. Did you mean that you bricked your phone using the DDKA7 ROM??
Or that DDKA7 is the ROM I should use; and rest of the post is a question to me?
Please clarify.
Regarding bricked phone, first try the "blind ODIN" way - prepare ODIN, take out battery, with vol down + middle + power pressed, put in the battery with somebody elese's help - and try flashing - even if ODIN does not recognise the phone.
Some people claim success with that.
On how to deal with the service center - yes - play dumb. Though initially did not work with me, (they made me agree to pay for the mobo), they finally replaced the mobo free. The sound issue persists.
DDKA7 is stock rom. I dint brick my phone caus of that.
I bricked my phone caus of ROM manager on android market.

OK. Thanks for the clarification.
Thanks guys. Went stock. Took it to the service center. They say will return phone after a week - the speaker is bust. So, let us wait.
I gave my phone to the service centre. I had a rooted phone with custom rom. It got completely bricked caus of ROM manager. The service centre ppl said they will have to change the motherboard. I ll get back my phone on thursday. Hope everything goes fine.
DONT USE ROM MANAGER ! IT SUCKS!

Let us hope they keep their word. I had to wait for 45 days. And 7-8 visits. And every time, 2/3 people were venting their rage at hapless staffers for non receipt of phones because the center did not get requisite parts.

Not on stock ROM. It works fine on custom roms - esp. CM 7.1 and other ROMs based on tj_style's CM. I have not used it though, even on CM 7.1.
Ok....you have heard this many times before but Ill ask anyways in the event someone can help me.
I am a newbie to rooting although Ive had my Note for months.
This morning I rooted successfully .
I also dloaded clockwork mod and watched YouTube tutorials on it.
Then I thought id try flashing a new ROM and Paranoid Android looked the easiest. Just two files - the zip and the fix. So i downloaded them to my CD card and then booted from RomManager into recovery mode.
Here is where I truly stuffed am I am guessing.
First I went into the immediately available option of 'instal file form SD card" and tried loading both Paranoid Android rom files .
I got Signature not verified etc
So then I went a step further and went into the clockwork mod folder instead ( where all font is blue and it becomes a touch screen menu ) and both files were there also so I hit the Paranoid Android zip file and it seemed to be actually doing something so i thought you beauty ! Some white lines of text came out, it stalled for a few minutes and then the phone just turned off and that's the way it is. DOINK.
I cannot turn it on.
I cannot boot into recovery mode.
My pc doesn't recognize it as a drive.
Kies wont recognize it.
so I have two questions ;
A) Is it resuable ?
b) Of I cant do it will Samsung service center be able to re-load the OS or whatever or is the unit well and truly fried ?
thanks
You obviously did not read the OP since procedure is clearly explained. What you did is just nonesense.
Does download mode works?

To the OP:
Did you flash Parnoid Android rom over an ICS rom, that's what I did and my Note was hardbricked. I got my Note back yesterday from the repair centre, its easy to forget to remember to read the instructions sometimes and it can happen, not to worry though...its not the end of the world, the repair centre is an option
Sell?

you dont provide enough info..mainly exactly what rom and kernel you were on when you tried to flash Paranoid.
Maybe he should start writing in the correct forum (Q&A) and even better: read there first and find a lot of related threads and exact informations.
Take seals advice. He's an expert now lol. Btw glad to see you got your phone back! Get that rom going!

You guys are going to keep teasing me about my bad rom aren't you's?
Btw...I didn't brick my phone due to my rom, I bricked my phone because I flashed a CM9 rom over a ICS rom (my rom was based on a ICS rom).
Can you get into download mode?
Service Center here you go!

Actually i read up extensively on it . I am just useless at following instructions. Not all of us have propellers sticking out of our heads.
Dload mode ? What part of it doesn't turn on etc isnt clear......

I flashed from the recent android 4.0.3. Asian version ( I am in Cambodia ) . I believe the mistake i possibly made was going in to CWM files in recovery mode and doing it from there ?
Anyways....its back with Samsung RC now so hopefully they can rectify back to normal . I hope they dont see all the root files etc in the SD card. This is Cambodia so I doubt they'll care.
They'll be fixing the screen i cracked a few weeks ago too. Dropped it and it chatter like a bullet hole. So....my note will be all minty when i get it back....albeit $180 later !!

You cannot flash PA over ANY ICS rom. This is what caused your brick.

Yes, i came from cambodia too, actually for that price over there it's quite expensive.
any way, good to know that some one from cambodia is using Galaxy Note, impressive!
EVERYONE is using the Note here. Especially the girls. They love it even though they can barely hang on to it
$180 is for the Screen only. I believe ill get the OS redone for free.

Yeah you really suck at following instructions since you didn't do anything correctly.
You saying it does not turn on is indeed unclear, since you mention right after "it does not enter into recovery mode". So if you made the distinction., one can wonder...
So if you can't turn it on at all, including download mode, your phone is hard brick and needs to go to RMA, and since it is not due to emmc bug obviously, rma can be refused by Samsung because if they investigate they'll see that you flashed a different recovery.
Sorry dude, it's just about how lucky you are now...

Here is the rub.
Samsung rang me yesterday and said the phone needs;
New Screen at $150
New motherboard at $150
New front camera at $25.
Ouch
However....
Apart from the cracked screen (which happened weeks ago) up until I rooted and then ****ed the phone with my atrocious attempt at flashing the new ROM....the phone was working with no worries at all.
Can I ask the techs here as I have no idea ;
Would the motherboard be a victim of the flashing attempt ? If so....I am in the wrong and will pay all monies. I am guessing it is directly related as the phone was fine until the flashing attempt. If not......would the shock from the fall weeks ago have caused a failure in the MB ? Or could that just not be related at all ?
Basically, I am wondering if i have a leg to stand on with trying to claim warranty on the MB ....When they contacted me yesterday there was no mention of the phone having been rooted " you have been a naughty boy !! ". Actually what they said was " you dropped your phone and now the motherboard is broken "
thanks

your phone its super bricked due to wiping the phone in an ics kernel and its all samsung fault for the brick bug but you could avoid that flashing abyss kernel before wiping your phone and yes brick bug fry your motherboard.
You just superbricked a Super Phone
Android user for 1 year, i soft bricked my phone sereval time when I wasn't really experimented. I hard-bricked my phone once and it didn't charge or enter the Download Mode and it didn't charge. I don't even know how that happened even today, i think i flashed a wrong ROM with odin. I took it to my carrier shop and they replaced it for free since I didn't tell them i ever flashed it or something. The paper that they gave me said that the Motherboard was broken.
Now.. How could that happen? How can i avoid that? I am currently on a custom ROM (CyanogenMod 7).

Hy people,
i know that this theme was discussed lot of times, i read hundreds of posts and i didn't find solution for my problem...
So problem is, my galaxy S3 starts and blocks on galaxy s3 screen, flashing with ODIN fails, reset doesn't work, probably emmc chip is dead.
I was thinking about one solution...i purchased USB jig, it starts my galaxy to download mode but doesn't reset counter, after reading lot of posts i found that on new bootloader isn't possible to reset counter...ODIN doesn't work so i can't flash old ICS version bootloader XXALEF - but maybe is possible to put old bootloader XXALEF on sd card, turn on the phone on sdcard mode and do the counter reset with usb jig
just want to ask if anybody here did something similar or there is no way to reset counter on hard bricked, emmc dead galaxy s3
Jig is not for reset its for download mode only .
To reset to warranty state you need to run Triangle Away from the phone and flash a stock rom .Not going to happen if you have a hard brick you cannot boot from .
...than i can't get anything from my warranty, so plan b
purchase of emmc chip - toshiba 32 gb - i found it on ebay (can't post link - new user restrictions on forum), what you think would be ok?
after replacing emmc, restoring back my lost imei (found some instructions on forum and on google) - does really work to restore lost imei, because i didn't made any backups?
If you have a dead EMMC (due to SDS), Samsung will repair or replace your phone under warranty despite the counter, as one of the symptoms of SDS is the counter showing Modified on never-rooted phones (due to being unable to read the actual counter data from the dead EMMC). As long as the product name is empty (a tell-tale sign of SDS), you should have no issues.

I too have this problem.
My wife picked up a 14 month old S3 LTE 3 weeks again and has having a emmc problem, whats samsung's warranty on this problem.
Hope its ok to ask here, didn't want to waste a whole new thread on the same issue.
SDS is covered by Samsung s warranty .
But that warranty may not include a second user and root or custom rom or damage may void warranty . You need to ask your local Samsung service .

Help! I installed the wrong custom rom on my phone, I installed the s5830i icedroid rom on my s5830, curiously thinking it might go into a boot loop at worst but I was horribly wrong. As soon as I pressed reboot now on cwm my phone blacked out and never lighted on again. I can get it in download mode, it shows in Odin but it gets stuck in setup connection. Is there a software or something to revive the phone, I can't hand it in to samsung cause I purchased it off ebay and they want a receipt which the original owner doesn't have, or should I try a jig. What do you think guys? This phone is nearly brand new and don't want it going to waste.
