urgent help please! - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my mums ace using this method. However I didn't install CWM, I just went straight ahead and stupidly installed the .zip straight from the recovery mode utility. I'm trying to install this ROM.
Now I'm stuck at this step and I think I may have softbricked it.... Youtube clip below:

Basically it turns on, the sammy logo comes up and then it goes red and lines out. Then it just sits there with the backlight on.
I have a download jig at hand if I need it, so I can access download mode and I have the SD card to use.
Update: installed CWM through the .zip recovery file. i then installed the ROM above and it's now just stuck at the boot logo, with the cyanogenmod blue circle swirling around.

Did you factory reset in recovery?

Yep, it did nothing. I'm guessing that when I flashed the CM10 ROM it cleaned out the factory reset.

Ok, panic over!
I managed to get this ROM working.

Phone stuck...

Hello!
I've got a little/big problem with my phone...
first of all im using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748984 instead of cwm.
And yesterday i tried to flash a new ROM. First all went pretty good, but the play store was bugged. So i did a new wipe and flashed again, but ofc it was stuck in the bootanimation, so i plugged out the battery... and now all that comes up is first the LG-logo, then the teamwin logo, then it's stuck showing the temwin logo... So i can't flash a new rom, i cant get into recovery mode and when i try to use smartflash on my pc the S/W upgrade wont appear while pressing vol down + pluggin the usb cable, instead the phone is black, the lg logo appears and then it's black again, and it repeats.
Any help or suggestions would be so nice of you!
never use that recovery method, always use CWM non touch version. i think you should nvflash
Use NVflash, me same one time!
Before using rhe nvflash method, try flashing CMW to your phone again. Go to Rusty's CMW thread in the Development section and download it from there.

[Q] Note won't boot on XXLSA

I was using my note to control my Google TV when it restarted. It stuck at the first splash screen, the black and white one before the Samsung boot animation. Restarting the phone either by holding the power button or pulling the battery has no effect. I booted to stock recovery and wiped the cache to see if that helped, but it didn't. And now I can't boot to recovery, it just restarts when it gets to the recovery screen now. I can still boot to download, and seeing as the symptoms looked similar to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034859 I copied what he did and used Odin to flash the stock rooted gingerbread rom from the toolbox by dr.ketan http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801341. The flash succeeded, but it still won't boot, and now I can't even get to the recovery screen, but download mode still works.
I'm not sure what to do, should I try and flash an unrooted GB rom?
BTW, I was using a rooted stock JB rom XXLSA before this went wrong, and I hadn't installed anything that day. Also, I hadn't noticed until today but although there is no yellow triangle the download mode has a count of 1, is there a way to fix this if I need to send it back?

Flash a gb rom with odin.. And Triangle away app will reset the flash counter in download mode
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Its worth trying a GB rom which has WIPE written next to it from Dr Ketans thread. install using odin a see what happens
Not sure what fixed it, but it's working now.
I just left it plugged in to the mains on the boot screen and it eventually booted up into the stock GB rom, and now the recovery mode works. If I try flashing the XXLSA again it locks up still, not sure why, but it won't boot. I've gone back to using CM10.1 nightlies as I was before trying the stock JB, and that is working as well as can be expected.

Samsung logo boot loop, totally stuck

Hey guys, my phone got totally stuck on a Samsung logo (neverending loop).
Yesterday I let my bro play an Angry Birds on my phone. After a while I took my phone back and to my surprise it wasn't responding. Mobile was turned on (connected to the charger) but all I could see was a black screen. I tried restarting my phone by removing battery but it didn't help at all. I got stuck at Cyanogen Mod logo everytime. Since I haven't updated my firmware in a while I decided to intstall the newest version of CM (KitKat 4.4.4 from novafusion.pl) using Odin app. After a successful installation my phone still didn't boot up, I was getting stuck on a blue CM logo. After this I wanted to wipe my cache/dalvik cache but I wasn't able to get into recovery mode (getting stuck on a TeamWin screen). Reinstalling TWRP and installing ClockWork recovery didn't have any effect. I wiped my phone using .tar file found on this forums, tried reinstalling my ROM recovery many times, tried installing param file (don't even know what's that) and resetting three button combination using Benzonat0r's mod. None of these things seemed to have any impact. I'm still not able to get into recovery neither boot my phone up - Samsung logo bootloop. What am I supposed to do to unbrick my phone?
On a side note my knowledge about Android phones is tiny so please consider this. Also forgive me my poor grammar, not a native English speaker here.

Download This rom "I8190 серв. укр.rar" from here
Unpack .rar and open Odin.
Select the goldenxx.pit to [PIT]
Select CODE_I8190XXAMA2_809600_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md 5 to [PDA]

Put your phone in download-mode and connect it to computer.

You will end up with a "La'Fleur" branded phone, but no worries!
Just go to download mode again and flash a custom recovery and after that a ROM of your choice.
The three button combo will still work!!
This is not my work, give my friend @tyson a thanks for that!
I tried installing stock recovery and ROM. After completed installation I finally managed to pass Samsung screen. I got to the something like Android installation screen and my phone suddenly shut down. Now it's totally bricked, I can't turn it on nor get into the download mode. Charging progress doesn't show up while phone is plugged in neither. Any help?

Hey dude, I wish I saw your reply earlier. If my phone wasn't bricked now I'd give it a shot.

[Q] Stuck on White HTC Screen, Can't Boot Into Recovery

Hey guys, got a problem with my M7.
My phone was working fine. Was getting ready to flash a new rom. I moved the .zip into my root folder.
Went to reboot my phone into recovery to flash it, but it gets stuck on the white HTC screen. Powered off, booted into bootloader. Tried to enter recovery through bootloader, but I still get stuck on the white HTC screen.
Any ideas?
edit: and now, the phone won't boot at all ...

Well I'm pretty sure just copying a rom to the phone didn't do anything to it. what else happened between then and now
Nothing at all. Here's basically what I did.
1. Backed up phone in recovery.
2. Reboot.
3. Loaded rom to /root using computer.
4. Attempt to boot in recovery ..
And that's it.

is the battery dead ?
does the pc load any drivers when you plug it in ?
does the charging lights work ?
Nope, charging lights do not work ... It wasn't a full battery, but was around 70% last I remember.
Ok, was able to boot using the bright light method.
Still no dice on booting past the white HTC screen. When I try to boot to TWRP through the bootloader, it'll show the TWRP splash screen, then automatically go back to the white HTC screen.

Reflash recovery and erase cache
you may have to format data in TWRP and totally wipe the phone.
also flashing stock recovery and doing a factory reset from stock will rebuild the partitions and sometimes make the phone stable again

[Q] Soft Bricked?

I had already rooted my device about a week ago and today I wanted to flash a rom, but I need a recovery first. I had all of the files ready, but I noticed that when I booted into recovery mode it only flashed the green android guy with his front open for about a second and then shut off for about 4 seconds. The phone doesn't turn off, just the screen. So I rebooted and downloaded an app thinking it would allow me to boot straight into download mode, but it just created a boot into recovery cycle. Now I can't get into my phone. Any help would be appreciated

I had the same problem after root, the only fix that I could find was to make a full flash of the phone. You need to download the original firmware and flash via odin.
