s5570i won't boot, and can't be restored. not rooted - Samsung Galaxy Mini

hello! I am trying to repair my sister's s5570i.
for some reason, it won't boot, and when I try to restore it, it works, but when i reboot it says - can't mount /datarebooting... and still nothing..
i tried to restore the stock rom with odin, but even after installing the drivers odin not recognizing the device in download mod so it's kinda useless...
the device never been rooted btw, so i can't understand why it's happening..
does anyone got any idea?
is it just a break?
thanks!

[Q] I9000 won't boot after factory reset

I had a problem with the radio and went to my dealer and he did a factory reset. When the phone boots it now hangs on the Samsung logo. I was running Darky's v5.2 gingerbread edition voodoo. The phone was rooted and the 3 button function was working ok.
Now I can only use the power+down volume+home combo and it goes into download mode and says Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!
In this mode neither ADB or Odin will connect. If I do a normal boot Odin will connect but i can't do anything. When I try the power+vol down+home boot it just goes into a reboot loop.
i've read all the tricks to get into recovery mode but none are working for me. I need to get it back to factory original so I can send it for warranty repair. The phone is only 2 months old.
Any ideas welcomed.
i'm having the same problem, i was running darky's v8 then i did a factory reset and now it won't bootup, i can get into download mode but not into recovery mode

I've read all the same issue posts but none solve my problem. I can't get Odin to connect to the SG. If I put the SG in download mode with the 3 button combo, Odin won't connect. ADB also can't connect to the SG as the SG won't boot. I've tried everything suggested but it simply won't connect. I guess the SG is now a bin job. The only way to get a connection in Odin is to let the SG boot and hang then connect. Odin can see the SG but you can't do anything unless the SG is in download mode. ADB can't reboot the SG either. Something must be wrong with SBL but I can't find a way to fix it. My fingers are sore from so many 3 key combos over the last few days.
Full brick and leave it in for repair and blame on kies?

All the thread answers require the use of ADB and or Odin. This is the problem, I can't get the SG to connect to Odin when the SG is in download mode. Something is wrong with the SBL so the download mode isn't working. If I could get the download mode fixed the rest is easy. The only time Odin can see the SG is when I let the SG boot normally and it hangs. Then I connect the USB and Odin sees the SG. As it is not in download mode, Odin can't send anything. ADB gives an error that it can't connect to the device so I can't use ADB to put the SG in dl mode. To summarize, I can only get the SG to either hang on boot or go into a faulty dl mode with the 3 key combo.
Sounds more like a USB problem. Change USB port and or remove and reinstall Kies/USB drivers .

so you could never get into recovery mode or only after he did a reset?
if it's not a usb problem as suggested above then i agree with "Full brick and leave it in for repair and blame on kies?", if they can't get it in dl mode or recovery either they won't know what you've done to it, or they might, so leave that as a last option

Bricked or Boot loop - help needed

Hi people!
I got bricked my galaxy mini gt-s5570, but not totaly (that means I can still use the download mode, and RAMDUMP ARM9 mode) but I can't power up the phone. That happened after I used ODIN for gt-s5570 and changed the Kernel (I forgot to make backup before), and device was working well with the new kernel, but after it I use the same step in ODIN to get back to the old one. So the result is, when I'm pushing the power key the screen starts to blinks and nothing more! But as I say download mode, and ARM9 mode are still working. Any solution for this?
just download the new firmware from samfirmware.com n flash it thru odin as u can go to download mode..n ur phone will be back to life again..
i accidently pressed thanks on ur first post

I mean even when I flash an official rom with Odin, I still have the same problem, I am trying this since three days now and noway...
i think you tried to upgrade firmware not boot whenever you upgrade firmware it cant be downgrade it can just be more upgraded when you downgrade your firmware it will not boot up it will just show a black screen so just reinstall the firmware again and do not try to downgrade it

I can only enter Recovery mode

Hi,
I installed a bootloader with Odin And after that I needed to Install a GBOOT with Odin but I can't enter dowload mode I only can enter Recovery mode. What do I need to do ?
I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117990
What phone do you have?
What recovery version are you running?
How do you get into recovery?
A tad more info would be useful please.
9. Whatever I flash, I end up in Recovery! What should I do?
Flash stock Vibrant bootloaders, then ODIN to stock JFD. You should be good to go here onwards... I only had this issue when I tried changing bootloaders over MIUI/CM7. Couldn't replicate on Samsung ROMs... (AS QUOTED ON THE LINK PAGE)
Thank you for your responds
The recovery mode I run is CWM v 5.0.2.7 .
The thing is Odin can't recognize my phone because I can't enter Downloading mode so I can't flash that.
Hope you can help me further
if you got any rom's stored on your sdcard you could try to flash that and then try to enter download mode, otherwise you could go to "mounts and storage" and mount usb storage there and move over an rom to flash.
Try to flash phone via cwm. Now we have jvz deodexed version on forum. Maybe after it will be ob.

I've tried to flash a rom from my SD card.
@Emek can you explain it more clearly. I don't understand it.
Grtz William !
There is a rom on here you can flash using CWM. On the forum is a JVZ that you can flash without using ODIn, slap that on your sd card, goto recovery and install from sd and hopefully that should fix it
Sorry of being such a noob. What's a JVZ and which one do I need to flash.
Grtz William
I flashed this one Click
And It still doesn't work...
edit: Tried this one as well Click
It still doesn't work. I hope my phone isn't Bricked. Is he ?
They wont work as you need the correct gingerbread bootloaders installed first.
You ned to make or buy a jig then you can get the phone to access download mode again, and then using ODIN 1.83 reflash everything inlcuding the bootloader.
Jig instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Failing that, see if you can buy a jig from ebay
Ok thank you. I ordered yesterday a JIG from ebay.
What do I need to do then. What do I need to flash exactly ... I don't want to screw it up another time. I liked the MIUI rom but he didn't recognize the external SD so that's the reason why I flashed other bootloaders.
So I would like to have MIUI with working SD card.
If the SD card doesn't work I won't to flash the original Android.
Grtz William
I would download and flash this for starters, it contains a bootloader as well make sure you click the bootloader section in ODIN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380402
Then you can flash a custom rom afterwards, but dont change the bootloader once it works!

I bought a JIG so I can get into download mode right now so then I flashed the ROM that Buttwad proposed. But ODIN said the proces of flashing failed and no when I connect my phone to my pc my pc even don't recognize my phone so I can't put anything on my phone. What do I need to do. I am desperate.
u can acces the phone sd in recovery..
Am I blind or have you actually FLASHED a Vibrant bootloader over Galaxy S??
Seems like you have issues with key combinations. Try using the Volume down with power button and see if it could get you to the download mode.
Also, if your device is being detected by the phone, use "adb reboot download" to reboot the phone into download mode.
Here is the situation: I had the MIUI rom on my phone but my phone didn't find my external SD. So i searched a bit on the internet and I found a guy who had the same problem and he said that I needed to flash the Vibrant bootloaders so I did that. But then everytime I started up my phone I came in Recovery mode. I couldn't even acces downoading mode anymore. So first I tried to flash two other roms(This one And this onebut the problem stayed the same. So I bought a JIG and then I tried to put this bootloaderon my phone but Odin said ERROR after a while. So then I tried to flash this one.
But now I can't even enter recovery mode. When I start up my phone I see a pictogram with my phone and the pc with the sign that I can't connect them.
And my computer also don't find my phone anymore so I can't flash anything anymore.
Please Help !
I will give 8 euros to the person who can tell me step by step(easy) what I need to do to make my phone working.
how to install miui?

[Q] [q] galaxy ace bricked flashing cm7! Help please!

Hello, I was trying to root and install the CM7 on my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830B. The root and the cwm installation processes worked with no problems, but when I installed the CM7 it just turned off and won't turn on again.
I can't flash a stock ROM via Odin cuz the pc won't recognize the device. It won't turn on in normal mode, downloading mode nor bootloader.
What can I do to solve this issue, please?
Thank you!

Which ROM You have flashed? If You can´t go to Recovery or Download mode, try USB JIG, if not work with JIG, I am sorry Your phone is bricked.
If Your phone can´t nothing try put out battery, connect Your Ace with usb cable (without battery), open odin, hold 3 buttons for download mode (vol.down+home+power) and WITH holding buttons put back baterry. If in Odin You can see yelow oblong with COM, You can now try flash new stock rom.

I tried installing Cyanogenmod 7.2. And err, is there any other way of trying to restore the phone instead of the USB JIG, cuz I don't have any. :/
I've already tried to go on the download mode by the steps you just said (power button+vol up./down + home), but the phone seems to be dead, it won't turn on in normal mode, download mode nor recovery. As the phone won't start in the download mode, i'm not able to flash anything via ODIN.
Is there anything else I could try? What if I try to flash STOCK ROM via ADB to SD CARD using ANOTHER CELLPHONE?
Thanks for helping.
Ah, another important info is that I think the phone "died" with the USB Debugging deactivated, so I think that's why the ADB can't recognize the device, right?

Your phone isn't running official software

G'day XDA Developers
I tried rooting my phone with Magisk then flashing the AP file via Odin in download mode then flashed twrp how ever when I boot I get the error message. Your phone isn't running official software and the phone just keeps rebooting so I think I have tripped Knox.
I can't seem to enter download mode or recovery so I am wondering how can I restore it back to stock rom and relock the bootloader? Or is my only option to RMA the phone?.
Yes by rooting your device you are actually tripping your KNOW built in fuse.
Now try to do few thing:
Download the stock firmware by using Frija-v1.4.2 software.
After that unzip the firmware file and use odin3 to flash the firmware you can read more here.
If you need TWRP use this link to install it.
after that use this link to install kernal which is having magisk inside it so you dont even need button combination.
you just need to flash kernal zip file in twrp or you can read official post here.
The problem is I can't enter download mode the phone just keeps endlessly rebooting so I might have to wait until the battery runs out then try entering download mode.
Update: Okay so I waited until the phones battery died and the phone ended its reboot loop then I charged the phone and tried entering download mode and I was successful in that then I reflashed the stock rom via odin and restored the phone back to factory settings now it's working again.
