Mind at least telling us what the heck you did before this happened?
It would REALLY help us in diagonising your problem, you know.
heh i suppose it would wouldnt it!
I installed the battery icon mod..

How did you try odin? I think that should have done the job.

Have you downloaded an official ROM?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
not yet, im not sure where to get it from! lol
i only had the phone like a month or 2, and i broke it but got it replaced under the warrenty lol
so where can i get a offical rom from?
There are lot of ROMs on samfirmware.com and guides on how to flash them. You need an account though.
Have you even flashed a ROM before?

i have flashed rom on a HTC Hero before, which was my old phone, but not on this phone, dunno how different its gonna be!

Check samfirmware.com, it will help you (a lot).

thanks muchly, i will check back soon when i have attempted to flash it!
madkid21
BTW, you could also check Doc's ROM if you want to use custom rom. I personally use it and its great. It has also some good guides compiled on the first post. I strongly suggest you read the Doc-Froyo.pdf guide in that thread.
Good luck!

A friend tried messin around with his tab when he doesnt even know how to jailbreak an iphone 3g... The tab wouldnt even boot past the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen, but it was able to get to download mode... I used a guide to update it to gingerbread using odin, and everything went well! I opened odin, selected PIT and chose the P1_add_hidden.pit file, then i selected PDA and chose the P1000NVFJP6_P1000NUBJP3_P1000NUUBJPB_HOME.tar.md5 file, and i made sure i checked Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time, Phone EFS Clear and Phone Bootloader Update.. everything went well, but on recovery it was unable to update the systemfile.. but everything else on recovery updated and installed fine! as it reboots, it gets stuck in the bootanimation in the part it says Samsung glowing.. did i do something wrong? how can i fix this? I am still able to get to recovery and download mode fine..
Use overcome method like described here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855591
Btw, you should not have checked Clear Efs.
The replace bootloader too.
And best to use Odin 1.7 included in the gb stock safe in that link I give you.

Why do some people think its rational to use absolutely ridiculous titles like "hlp plz" etc etc??
Please use common sense and use descriptive titles, ie a short title that describes your topic for people browsing the forum. "help plz" does not describe your topic in absolutely any way other then somebody using a completely generic title.

You a describing your friend to be a noob. Why are you yourself a developer? And do you even know the hard work required to develop a jailbreak for the first time? So don't talk about others' ignorance.

This isnt my phone but me and my friend successfully rooted his galaxy mini but when we flashed CWM we must have used the wrong one from the app and bricked the device or something as the device wont turn on. Is this bricked and if it is how can we unbrick it.
Thanks
If you can go into the download mode just flash stock rom through odin

The wrong one from an app... It sounds like Rom Manager. If I'm right, then USB jig or service.

Thanks guys, will the phone still flash even if the phone doesnt tirn on? I will try flashing with odin this weekend but if it doesnt work do you think samsung could fix it?

To find out if it's a "soft brick" or "hard brick" try going to "Download Mode" on the Mini. Do this by turning off the phone simultaneously pressing the Volume Down + Power + Home. When prompted, press Volume Up to confirm.
If there is a Download Mode, the phone just got a "soft brick" which means you can fix it on your own. If there is no Download mode, you're pretty much screwed.
IF there is a Download Mode, then it means you can still flash a ROM/firmware via ODIN. But I suggest flashing the right CF root kernel for the Samsung Galaxy Mini first. That will probably fix the phone's failure to boot. If it doesn't reboot properly after rooting, then I would suggest you flash a new ROM/firmware instead.

Oh, if there is a Download Mode just as I explained above, you can still flash any ROM or kernel via ODIN. Cheers!

If it seems like you can't get into download mode, there is a trick (it worked for me, when I thought my phone was hard-bricked, but obviously TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Get a friend to help - it's almost impossible to do this by yourself (unless you were born with three hands) :silly:
Take out the battery, sim-card and SD-card
While holding down all three buttons for download mode (Volume Down + Power + Home), get your friend to insert the battery.
Keep holding down all three buttons until you see download mode (can take up to a couple of minutes).
If it doesn't work at first, keep trying - it took me about three of four tries before that lovely sign came up :laugh:
Good luck.
PS: sorry I really can't remember where I got this from, so can't give due credit. If I'm plagiarising anyone, please let me know and I'll fix it.
****!! i have bricked my samsung galaxy ace... after installing rom manager..... plss some1 help me... when i tried to recover it from odin...i t stucks on set up connection,.. pls help?????

hav u tried getting ur stock firmware on Sammobile.com....make sure u download the correct firmware on ur region and the same release date....make sure u use Odin dats compatible with s5830....i think u dont need to use other options on Odin like Bootloader, Phone and CSC....just select PDA on odin....
i advise using Odin v1.83 or v1.85....
I advice not to use one of those odin versions. 4.38 is meant for ace if I'm not mistaken
The only way to fix this is to bring it to c center.

you shouldn't even have the problem if you actually do read stickies before doing anything. Sigh. well say goodbye to your phone.
@ OP : No problem. Costly but unavoidable. Replace the motherboard or throw your phone to trash.
@ Others : One question people. Suppose if someone happens to have an irreparable hard brick as here & he/she has to pay to replace the motherboard. Can we have a choice as to what new motherboard is to be installed on our device ? eg : I want to have the SGS II motherboard on my ace as a replacement. Whether the motherboard fits or not, this is secondary. Just want to know, do we ever have a choice ?

Nothing's so funny & ya by what I've heard, you do get a different motherboard than ace for sure but I'm unsure of the choosing probability. By the way, don't break your phone daily, even if you do get to choose what motherboard you really want, you'll have to pay there

Hi Khan,
can you please explain your problem in bit detail. Like after disconnecting it from odin are you able to to see any screen on holding down power button?
Because in case if you are able to go to recovery menu, then you can put CWM*.zip file in your sdcard and then flash it, then you can start CWM recovery menu and can flash a complete new ROM (I will suggest apocalypse or Lewa). You don't need any odin or any other app.

I have a white Galaxy Ace, and tried doing the usual (installing better software=cyanogen) but because I'm not the brightest bulb in the packet i somehow FUBAR'd the phone, so trying to do anything through the menu when you use the buttons to choose options (the part where you can format and do other stuff) will NOT work, and the phone freezes at the screen showing the phone model version, if anyone has any idea on how to fix it without paying le moneys, id be much appreciative
Thanks to whoever answers
Flash stock via odin. Use search to know how to do this. There are like a million guides for it.
