I had rooted my phone long back with ZergRush root. It had worked but I did not really install a recovery partition at the time. I was trying to upgrade my firmware to ICS today so I tried to boot into recovery thinking that I could not have rooted earlier without CWM. However I could not boot into recovery using either i)volume up button ii) volume up with home button iii)volume down with home. So I set out to install clockwork mod recovery. And here is where I got totally off track. I tried using odin to install cwm and had connected my phone to the laptop. However ODIN returned a fail several times after trying to install the cwm. So I wanted to restart my phone to try some other process. It is now saying "firmware upgrade fail! try using recovery mode" but I do not have a recovery mode!. In short, I seem to have bricked my phone. What do I do now?
Any help is greatly appreciated! This is the only phone that I have right now.

Use Odin to flash the stock image. Google xda wiki exhibit, and read carefully. Odin is more dangerous than recovery, i don't know how you flashed recovery in Odin, in the first place. I thing it has to be a tar.gz file. But just read and you will be fine

If you can boot into download mode you should be okay. Try volume down and the power button.

I am not able to boot into the download mode. As soon as I switch the phone on, the only screen which comes up is "firmware upgrade fail! Try using recovery mode"
Also, I was trying to use the wiki, but the files for the drivers are missing in the wiki. The dropbox link does not have anything in it.

Another thing was that initially when I was trying to enter the recovery mode, I used the second method used in one of the threads because this one would not work. I pulled the battery, connected the USB and then put in the battery again. Volume down+power was not working for me even then! But now that only gives me the firmware upgrade fail message.
Have I totally bricked it this time?

I doubt it its pretty hard to get a hard brick. You can always buy a download mode jig. I personally have one. Is it that you cant get into download is that the problem?
Also try to take out the battery, hold volume down and power and then insert the battery, that might work. Don't connect USB.

If the phone does not turn on at all then you may have a problem. Hopefully this is not the case. If anything pops up on the phone, than its fixable with a computer.

The phone does turn on but I do not get the download screen. Is that fixable without the dongle? I think that is what is causing me some trouble to flash back. ODIN is detecting the phone but is not able to change it.
Oh and I just realized that I am getting the phone ! Pc screen, which is apparently one which should be equal to the download screen.

Try using Odin a bunch of times in a row. If it doesn't work try it again on a different USB port.

OK that is a good sign and means you probably have the right drivers set up. If none of those methods can get you to download have worked you may need a jig. If you are good at soldering you can make one with a 301k resistor conecting the 4 and 5 pin. But that's pretty hard to get right. Im guessing that my idea of inserting the battery, didn't work
Edit: Odin cant do anything because it isn't in download mode, to answer the second part of the question.

OK yea this is no real problem, i fixed a Samsung captivate just like this. The phone must be in download mode. That is the only way it will work. I used a jig but maybe a key combination will work. The detected: 1 means it finds something plugged in but Odin cant "talk" to it because once again not in download. Just repeatedly try to get into download mode, you should get to a screen that says volume up to continue, volume down to cancel. The difference with a jig is it bypasses this screen and goes straight to download mode. Also maybe try to get to recovery, check out the wiki

Sorry i posted this toturial so late, but i had a dansing show, it was a succes
Okay, here is the toturial:
first download the files down here, only use what i gave you.
--WARNING-- Your phone must be charged to 90% or more, to prevent flash failure.
okay, put your phone in download mode. (power button, home button, and volume down button at same time) connect it to usb, and start odin.
Select ops file,
than select the boot file, named: APBOOT_S5570XXKPI_CL260130_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
Select Phone file: MODEM_S5570XXKPI_CL260130_REV02.tar.md5
The PDA file: CODE_S5570XXKPI_CL260130_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
and as last the CSC file: CSC_S5570SERKPI_CL260130_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
--MAKE SURE THIS IS RIGHT, AND ELSE YOUR PHONE CAN BE FATAL BRICKED!!!--
okay, all good?
right. click start.
wait till your phone reboots,
THEN, remove your usb cable.
and then the last part: Have fun!

Use a powerfull unzipper like 7-zip or winrar, windows explorer will take ages.

First of all, I'm sorry if the answer is somewhere, I searched, but I "only" found many threads with suggestions for JIG use... The three stickies of Q&A also don't present related information I believe...
After some stuck situation in odin, I can't boot the phone. I get a yellow triangle, between a phone and a computer icons. Even if I try to charge the Phone, I get that static screen.
There's anything I can do without using JIG? I cannot enter download mode (at least with the traditional way), I always get that screen. As fair as I know, the phone is still 2.1 with official firmware (i was trying to apple the 2.3.6)

you are still in download mode, without a proper ROM, so just connect with ODIN and it will function once USB cable is plugged in and flash the correct i9000 gingerbread ROM for your location

I already have the drivers, they were installed back then when I tried to update the phone, so they are present now.
The problem is, I cant get out of the black screen of death.. in fact, I'm not sure if this model/version can enter download mode through combo keys, yesterday when the phone was borrowed to me, I tried and I couldn't, so I was using adb reboot download shell command - but anyway, the drivers are there.

Yes. I'm wondering if my Google Nexus S drivers didn't not conflicted with the drivers I installed. I don't know.
Well, I'll try with another laptop, if that don't work, is it advisable to use a jig connector from a "trusted" seller? I'm asking because I already saw a comment or two along the about blewed (is this a word?) up phones.
Hey mate had the same issue your gonna have to get a jig as a lot of the i9000's came with corrupted boot loaders so you can't get into download without the jig and the screen your on isn't download mode I know which one your talking about with the phone the triangle and the computer

Do I risk blowing up the phone using JIG?
No the jig basicly makes it so a certain voltage signal is sent to the CPU triggering download mode no risk at all

I tried with another laptop with very well configured drivers, and didn't worked. Still didn't detected by odin. When I tried with another galaxy it works, after entering download mode...
I'm not admired, because before the brick, I was not able to enter the download mode with como keys, I shouldnt be surprised that does not happen now..

1) Uninstall your drivers, and re-install the ones following the instructions and link above.
2) Pull your battery out for a few mins and then put it back in and go into download mode (power, volume down, home button).
3) Download stock + odin from the link above, and start odin, and connect phone to pc through usb.
Your phone should be detected -- this is where you got stuck right? I'll assume if its detected, the rest you can figure out (plus its in the link above)
Good luck bro!

That would be a good suggestion if could get into download mode Tried everything, including some other solutions that I found around the Web. Looks like the bootloader was corrupted since the beginning, and now that I need it more than ever (because the black screen of death phone-!-pc), I stucked until (hopefully) i get a JIG... Already bought one, have to wait a few days to receive it. Until then, I'm going to use a old nokia.
Jig is only option then install a stock gingerbread that will fix 3 button combos

Odd... I don't see why that happened, being on an I9003 shoudn't make any difference...
Try take out the battery and hold down the power button for 30 seconds. It seems to work for some people (or variations of this method).
Or just keep trying to boot into download mode- it has worked for me once before, download mode suddenly working again after getting that symbol.
Worst comes to worst, it requires a USB jig, but there have been cases (including my own) where download mode has been recovered without needing a jig.
Did the error in Odin happen instantly? (you did everything correctly, judging by your screencap)

Please check i9003 for your phone as SGS 1 and 2 software may not be suited for your device just to be on the safe side
Got it into download mode using this method. Then flashed I9003XXKPE package but it's still bootlooping and recovery says that /data can't be formatted. I've seen this method that could solve this situation, but I would like to try to recover data partition before.
read carefully, choose, download urs n flash it, all there

What i can tell for now is:
1) Reinstall SAMSUNG drivers
2) try other USB port
3) verify that you flash right ROM and your device is in download mode

How would I be able to tell if it's the right rom? I went on the samsung website and downloaded a stock rom for my brand of phone I couldn't tell what particular one because I don't know the pda id and what not. How would I be able to retrieve that without booting my phone? because I have a bootloop and I don't have access to my phone.

Try downloading any firmware from sammobile.com . after that boot your phone to download mode and try again. Did you reinstall drivers bu the way?

yes I tried to re install the drivers I downloaded a firmware for my brand and then did the one package thing on odin and it's still stuck... any ideas?
sorry, one question.. what stucks ? Odin or the phone in bootloop?
I mean, if you were successful with the download operation by Odin, but now the phone is in bootloop, you only have to start it in download mode (volume up + power button) and do a wipe data (or factory reset), and you'll solve.

Don't worry I solved the problem I found out there was a problem with my bootloader and it was damaged from the beginning the phone was purchased making it so each time I tried to install cwm it would cause I a bootloop I found this post on this website that gave me a bootloader fix on odin it was successful and indeed did fix the phone thanks for everything guys.
Hi there, let me say firstly that it is three days I'm browsing XDA and Co. consulting all the (unlucky) unfortunate issues of this kind, but I can't say if there is really one which fits with mine: nothing worked until now, but I want to give it a chance again by writing my own post with your help, hopefully it will aid in future:
I bricked my Galaxy Ace S5380 (GB 2.3.6.) by trying to update CWM from 3 to 5.0.2.6, but it aborted/failed, and when I later rebooted the device, it went black screen.
Since there, I can't enter back into emergency mode or download mode, or rebooting my phone.
So, I updated latest Samsung drivers, killed Kies apps on Win7 to free the way to Odin (Kies is no help: it detects the smartphone but it can't connect and update anything).
I can only enter Odin download mode, but with black screen on my device (no background light, just a deadly black screen as it was off).
The only way to make it detect by Odin on Windows 7 is:
1. pulling off battery and connect smartphone via USB cable to the PC
2. open Odin Multi Downloader (GT-S5830) vers. 4.42 (I also had a try with earlier versions) and prepare Cooper_v1.0.ops and One Package file for firmware (courtesy of Sammobile).
3. pressing at the same time (like a contortionist): volume Up + volume Down + Home button + power button, THEN pulling back the battery: at that point, Odin would detect it ("<1> Detected!!!"), but, nothing happens on Ace's screen (no yellow rectangle appears).
When I press start on Odin, it goes as it follows (and then it stucks there):
Download Start..
<0> Create File...
<1> StartThread Detected: 1
<2> StartThread Detected: 0
[..]
<1> setup connection...
I can plug it off and on again and again: it can still detect it until I press Power button to switch it off.
But it never goes beyond the 'setup connection' step.
I read somewhere that this (being stucked at 'setup connection') may be related when battery charge is too low (I have no replace), but I also read that some say that if you put it in download mode battery still can AC recharge (but there's no way to me to check it is true).
Overall, I wonder if it also does it in Odin download mode.
I tried to use ADB but it does not see the device ("error: device not found").
So, any (real) help?
Thanks for your time!

Thanks for your answer, pal. Unfortunately this didn't help me. I already found it here http://droidangel.blogspot.it/2011/06/guide-how-to-flash-updateupgrade.html but I am still stuck at '<1> setup connection..' step.
Tell me, did you really have my same problem? Black screen and uniquely the four-buttons combo able to make it detect by Odin? Because, if so, I want to understand what I do wrong. Thank you again :fingers-crossed:
I have the exact same problem :\ hoping someone has a solution for it ive tried everything!

ROM manager + galaxy ace = irreparable brick. You'll have to change your motherboard.

No one can help if you used ROM manager. Your ace is dead.
