My phone, (Samsung GT S 5570) Just died a few days ago while I was installing some software. The software was Clockwork Mod. To install this, I used an application from Google Play called -Rom Manager. After installing the app, I clicked something like flash clockwork mod, and a list was brought to me, from which I was to select my phone model, but unfortunately my wasn't among the list. So, I picked the first Model type and proceeded. The clockwork Mod was installed correctly and so I went to the next attempt and that was to Partition my SD Card. Consequently, my phone went off and I thought that it would restart on itself but....! I tried to restart it on my own but the LCD didn't even turn on. What do I do? To make it worse, the phone won't even go into recovery mode. The phone was already rooted, so no warranty. I suppose the phone is Bricked. Someone please help.
My email address, [email protected]
Thanks in advance.
Your phone is bricked and it's because you were trying to install CWM for a device that was probably not even remotely close to yours. Also wrong section I would suggest posting in this section forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1311 and seeing if they might be able to help you.

NEVER install CWM via rom manager it just isn't compatible with our device and 99.99% of people brick their phones because of it. And yes, your phone is probably bricked, hard brick. What u can do now is to try a usb jig method which is available in the guide in my sig.

You're totally out of luck on this one mate, now you have a very nice paper weight if you still have a valid warranty, just bring the brick to the service center and they'll fix it for you, but never ever mention flashing, clockwork mod or anything related it happened while updating with kies, that's it and guide for making usb jig provided by tietganFTW works, I made one for myself already and tested it on mini, so there's nothing to worry about on this one

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.

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

lol sad everyone is doing the same mistake. If your phone is under warranty take it to samsung service center and tell them u set the alarm in the night and in the morning it never turned on. They will change the motherboard free of cost. If it is not under warranty. Buy a better phone instead of paying $100 for a motherboard.
PS: Theres no way to bring it back from that ROM manager brick.

Lol, I bricked my phone too with ROM Manager. I selected a recovery for Geeksphone just to see if ROM manager has a protection for flashing wrong recoveries. And no, it doesn't have. I returned my phone to Samsung service and they replaced the motherboard. Now I continue to test lots of ROMs and my IMEI was bricked too. It's 000...
the app have the protection
wrong things is done by us by selecting wrong device model

I think because it's installing wrong recovery image. Simply after recovery installed, ROM Manager will reboot your phone to recovery mode. Since the recovery image was wrong and unusable (since ramdisk & configs are different) the phone wasn't able to boot and ACTUALLY stuck on recovery mode.
But what does that have to do with the boot up sequence? Sorry, I'm an htc guy...

simply put, its like a one way door..once u enter into the room u cant go out..
same way the due to bad recovery and wrong mount partitions loading, once u boot into recovery using rom manager, u cant boot out..thus it will result in a hard brick..
I get it! It's all much easier with HTC phones... You can get inside a boot menu where you can flash roms and kernels and recoveries using the pc. In the boot menu, you can go to recovery. If you screw something up, flash a bad rom, kernel or recovery, you can always flag the right thing using the boot menu.

Hey Guys,
I have Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830), recently while uprading the my ace with the Cyanogenmod10, i had bricked my phone, now it never goes into the download mode so that i can flash the firmware with Odin. Actually yesterday, i used Rom Manager to Install the Custom Rom, and when said yes to install the custom rom, phone shutdown, and never started again, i googled around for some way out to go into the download mode, tried all the key combination, but could not go into the download mode, i tried the Home + VolumeUp and connected the USB to PC, with this method, my phone was detected, but because it was not in the download mode (i guess), so Odin just stucked at setup connection... and does not go further. Have anyone went through this dilemma, can anyone help me out of this, my warranty period is elapsed, so was thinking to get phone back to life myself.
Please anyone help me with this, i love the phone... I know that was my mistake to use Rom Manager to Install the Rom.
take it to the service. there is no other way. i tried everything, belive me. repairing costed me 200hrk (around 45$).

DONT USE ROM MANAGER
By taking it to a service center...Only way to recover it

check the back of your phone.when you remove your battery you will see 3 gold squares..when you take it to the service center and it becomes 9 silver small squares it means that they didnt change the motherboard they just solder it to connect wires to the motherboard they used jtag...:cyclops:

I bricked mine 1 week after getting it. I took it in and said it shut off and I can't turn it back on. They made sure it wasn't the battery, then replaced it under warranty. So if you still have a warranty, it's worth a try. The guys at the store won't know you've been screwing around with it.

Do you have recovery mode?
Hi all,
I have a serious situation with my S I9000, I really need some help.
So I had jelly bean Cyanogenmod 10, It worked fine until one day I updated it, and then I tried to Update some apps using Google Play App but the update didn't finish and cause me lots of unworkable apps.
I rebooted my phone to recovery mode, I made a backup, and then tried to restore an old backup (before I updated Cyanogenmod) but then the phone didn't want to start, It powers up but stays at "Samsung galaxy S....." welcome screen forever.
I was not able to start in recovery mode, how ever the downloading mode worked, then I tried to flash android 2.3.6 with odin but it failed.
And now my phone won't power up and doesn't show anything, even the charging screen.
I know I really messed things up but I really need your assistant guys.
Thank you (and sorry for my weak English)

It's probably a hard-brick (I had the same problem last week). There are two ways that can solve it.
First is with a USB Jig. You can buy one (are super cheap) or trying to construct one by yourself. Here are some posts of handmade USB Jigs:

Thank you, but I think that USB Jig doesn't work, cause the phone doesn't show anything at all : no downloading/recover mode and no battery charging screen.
I heard about JTAG.. do you have a tutorial for that ?
Thanks again.
JTAG i think is only used by professionals, so i don't think there is any guide about it
is it really i9000? or i9003?
as far as i know, flashing i9000 ROM into i9003 will hardbrick ur fone

You can not restore any pre-CM backup as it has different format. I had the same situation last week and learned now how to revive my i9000
It is just a soft brick probably, if you have download mode (check 3-buttons) let me know if it works, I will help you later then.

You can not restore any pre-CM backup as it has different format. I had the same situation last week and learned now how to revive my i9000
It is just a soft brick probably, if you have download mode (check 3-buttons) let me know if it works, I will help you later then.

I solved the problem.
The phone was completely dead. downloading mode or recovery mode didn't work even the battery charge status wouldn't appear.
The solution was JTAG. it's complicated and used only by professionals as @TenKoX said.

JTAG i think is only used by professionals, so i don't think there is any guide about it

Glad to hear it!!
I had the same problem recently and JTAG solved the problem too
Hello,
I have a problem with my galaxy ace.
I rooted it and flashed 2 roms succesfully (cyanogenmod (I can't recall which one) and another one (can't remember which)).
But when I tried to flash the third the phone went dead.
Now it won't do anything.
I tried to enter download mode with an USB jig.
I also tried to enter download mode by pulling everything out (sim, sd, battery) hooking it up a pc and hold vol -, home and power and reinstering battery.
I have searched for hours but it still doesn't work.
Anyone knows what's going on and maybe have a solution?
If you tell the name of roms you flashed, we can help. If the rom wasn't made for ace, then your device is hard bricked.

if you can't boot into download mode and you tried get it using an USB jig... then the last option is to send your device to the tech support, I'm sorry
Do you still have your device under warranty?
Good luck

I know sure the rom was for s5830 Ace but I can't recall which rom it was. Thanks for trying to help.

My presumption is confirmed.. I don't have warranty anymore but it isn't much of a deal. I got this phone to play with but it would be fun to resurrect it.
It's a hard brick. You may have flashed a ROM from a different device.
If a USB jig doesn't work, that's probably the end of the road for your ace.
Tech support may help, but they'll probably replace the motherboard and that won't be cheap.
Sorry, mate.

Thanks everyone for helping. I already thought it was dead but it now is confirmed.
It isn't much of a deal though because I got it to play with..
