[Q] How to Recover my phone ?

Yesterday I have purchased used Samsung Galaxy S (not S2) from my friend which got locked.Too many pattern attempts! is what the message I'm getting. I was not able to access any thing, Except incoming calls.
Keep XDA forum in mind I have purchased it blindly, but after reading few threads in here I cant find any solution to unlock this.
So someone please help to get out of this, Provide me the solutions
Please remember
* I have never seen it Rom Version and Kernal Version
* Its not configured with gmail account. How ever i have tried few tricks to configure gmail account by making calls to locked phone. But failed.
* I have tried all different combination of keys to boot to recovery mode and FAILED !
So can some one let me know how do I flash my phone in this case !
Thanks in advance

Mhm... but as his recovery mode access is blocked, I doubt if he will be able to access the download mode as well...
@OP: if you will be able to go to download mode - apply the Bhuvan's advice. If not - last resort - buy jig on eBay...

Spamtrash I d think that the op knows the correct way to access recovery. And why he wont be able to access recovery, pattern lock is not related to recovery. Pls guide him to acces recovery and download mode, I am busy sorry.

Recovery = Volume Up + Home + Power
Download = Volume Down + Home + Power
If your phone is off, hold down those buttons as you would the power button to boot the phone into the appropriate mode. If your phone is on, hold down those buttons for ~10 seconds to reboot your phone into that mode (likewise, holding down just the power button for ~10 seconds will reboot the phone while it's running).
Regardless of whether or not the phone is locked (pattern, pin, anything), you should be able to access these modes. If you can get your phone into download mode, you can flash whatever ROM you want with Odin, stock or custom—and this will replace the entire firmware, which will reset the lock. However, I would not recommend flashing a ROM if you cannot get your phone into download mode, or you risk bricking your device.

If ur recovery is working then their is wipe data/ factory reset option in samsung's recivery too. Try that.

Guys, thanks so much for your time ! I have tried all most every method you guys suggested me. but no good luck !
I know a dude who can do this soft of issues, but not for free (LOL)
First he told that the pattern can be unlocked. When I reached him to get it done. he told that it is going to take long time and its much better to flash new rom 2.3.4 where all my data will be gone. I agreed and what he did is
My phone was not going to download mode with the 3buttons shortcuts as upichie told. he connected a USB pin to my phone and used 3 button shortcuts to go into download mode. from download mode he flashed my phone to latest version 2.3.4.
This is how my issue ended ! you know what's the funny thing in this ? he download every thing from XDA !! HE HE !! LOL !!
Thanks again for all who ever replied and tried to solve my issue !

I'm glad you got this issue resolved!
For future reference, it sounds like he used a USB JIG to get the phone into download mode, in case you need to find information about that on a later date.
Have fun with your phone!

just try recovery

Reboot Loop

Heys guys ive got a problem with my S5830i, i wanted to flash AceCream v1 for the second time but at some point i failed, (i flashed it succesfully first time)

I can't go to recovery mode, and dunno what Download mode is
is it battery with loading circle on it?

download mode: vol up + vol down + power button
recovery mode: vol up + power + menu.
in order to connect your phone and use odin you should go to download mode.

Yes i can, and it didnt reboot, so it means my phone isn't hard bricked

yes maybe just a soft one. You do know how to use Odin, right? You can flash a stock firmware, there's one thread who has stock firmware just follow the instructions from there. try this. Hope you fix your ace in no time :good:

Try installing the Samsung drivers yourself, I think there is one in Sammobile.com. Not sure though, or just try visiting samsung's website and download the drivers.

Just Google for Samsung mobile usb driver, i have just downloaded it few hours ago.

Broken Power button

Hi..
One of my friends has a Note but his power button is broken. He hasn't really contacted service center for repair coz he didn't really miss anything about the button..but now if he wants to root...flash rom etc..is it even possible to do that without a functional power button?
Any guidance would be appreciated! Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

there are mods for ics .. like a toggle for reboot .. which when u press gives 3 options (reboot / recovery / download).
but i dont think it will be possible to boot in to recovery without the power button if the phone has a bootloop or stuck at startup.

You can flash roms but it would be really dangerous
If anything goes wrong after flashing a rom and got stuck,you cant enter recovery or download mode

No you wrong,
If its Custom Rom may you can use RomManager And Reboot into Recovery Mode,Then Advanced,Reboot into Download....

its possible to enter recovery, download mode without that button, but if you get bootloop you will need it so send it to repair

I did it through the OTA, because through Odin wants me to find a mobile phone
Today I wanted to install Android 4.2.2. But I did not make the ClockWordMode.
I did it through a normal recovery. And now when I wanted to install CWM to my phone so I can not. Can you help me please? : (

If you experience this bootloop after updating through OTA. Now you gotta try updating through Odin.
Download appropriate latest firmware at www.sammobile.com. And flash firmware again through Odin. This may help, mate.
If you know how to do it, go ahead. If you don't know, I will tell you how to.

ok, i try it.
i dnt know hoe to do it with Odin.
Can u say me?..

If your PC do not know your phone, Install your phone driver on your PC or install Kies. If you already install driver, forget it.
Power off your phone
Enter download mode by pressing and holding HOME+VOLUME DOWN and then power button (press them in order).
Doing so will get your phone into download mode.
On the screen, the letters with ! Sign will appear.
Accept notice by pressing Volume up button.
Now you are in the download mode.
Open Odin on your PC.
Choose PDA on Odin.
Choose firmware you have downloaded.
Connect your phone to PC with USB cable.
Search letter "ID:COM" at the left upper block of ODIN.
If this letter appear, you are successfully connected and start downloading.
Do not forget to tick NAND ERASE ALL.
After download finish, you phone will reboot automatically.
Be sure to check you are downloading right firmware.
If you are not sure, search on forum or google how to flash firmware with Odin.
Good Luck.
Forgive me that I cannot show you complete instruction because I am replying from Mobile.

It's strange. VOL-DOWN + HOME + POWER combination should brings Ace to download mode, and VOL-UP+ HOME + POWER combination brings Ace to ramdump screen.
For flashing stock ROM purpose, Mobile Odin may help.

No dude, his phone is stuck in ramdump mode, so he can't boot to system.
He should use the PC version of Odin.

Yes, I can enter Recovery Mode. In fact, I was thinking about this, but I have no idea what custom ROM I should install.
Could any of you recommend me the easiest one to install?
Please, consider that my PC is very outdated, so I hope I don't have to install any software or download any heavy file.
I just want to go back to the stock firmware after I flash the custom one, so I don't care what feature the custom rom has.
Thank you all for your answers
