How to unbrick samsung galaxy Mini GTS5570

My phone, (Samsung GT S 5570) Just died a few days ago while I was installing some software. The software was Clockwork Mod. To install this, I used an application from Google Play called -Rom Manager. After installing the app, I clicked something like flash clockwork mod, and a list was brought to me, from which I was to select my phone model, but unfortunately my wasn't among the list. So, I picked the first Model type and proceeded. The clockwork Mod was installed correctly and so I went to the next attempt and that was to Partition my SD Card. Consequently, my phone went off and I thought that it would restart on itself but....! I tried to restart it on my own but the LCD didn't even turn on. What do I do? To make it worse, the phone won't even go into recovery mode. The phone was already rooted, so no warranty. I suppose the phone is Bricked. Someone please help.

Thanks in advance.

Your phone is bricked and it's because you were trying to install CWM for a device that was probably not even remotely close to yours. Also wrong section I would suggest posting in this section forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1311 and seeing if they might be able to help you.

NEVER install CWM via rom manager it just isn't compatible with our device and 99.99% of people brick their phones because of it. And yes, your phone is probably bricked, hard brick. What u can do now is to try a usb jig method which is available in the guide in my sig.

You're totally out of luck on this one mate, now you have a very nice paper weight if you still have a valid warranty, just bring the brick to the service center and they'll fix it for you, but never ever mention flashing, clockwork mod or anything related it happened while updating with kies, that's it and guide for making usb jig provided by tietganFTW works, I made one for myself already and tested it on mini, so there's nothing to worry about on this one

I heard in few places that mini bricked by cwm is repairable with jig, and I made one and tested it, and it worked, so yeah, probably

[Q]How to unbrick?

OK guys!
yesterday i cooked a ROM with dsixda's Android Kitchen.I also checked the updateR-script file to prevent any damage.
but the problem is :
ROM was flashed successfully and every single function worked. I just turned my phone off and it doesn't boot any more.
Any suggestions?
Is that a BRICK?
Thank you all in advance!:crying:

Can you get into Download/Recovery Mode? and what is it doing? Just black or showing the bootanimation? And btw you should have posted that in the q&a thread!

Try connect phone to charger and we will see.

thank you!
first i knew this should have been posted in Q&A but thought you guys can help me more.
my phone is showing a black screen and no response.
I just dont know what the hell has happened to this. It was working fine but ... you know the story!
I dont know if its a hard brick either. cuz nothing (just nothing) happened to the phone. No wrong flashing,ROM manager,...
just wanted to know what the should i do with this thing:crying::crying::crying:

You don't have flashed any kernel that's not for the i9001 right? If you have done that it's hard bricked. if not it's rescue-able

So, does download mode work or not?

1.I haven't flashed any incorrect kernel
2.I can't boot the phone anyway.
Told you guys
dunno what the hell is wrong with this!
just after flashing my cooked ROM I shut the device down and thats all!
I don't think this is called a Brick but anyway I can't fix it

If you cant boot phone anyway, that's Hard Brick...

i know that isn't the best thing i've ever said but you're sure that the battery isn't dead ?? it may happens but anyway it's weird ... you could meassure/verify it somehow

AW: [Q]How to unbrick?
Take battery out, wait 30 minutes Start Odin in your pc plug in the USB cable To the phone, press and hold the button Combo for download mode and take in the battery
sometimes this works, our phone is very hard To brick

i verified my battery with a multimeter and it's giving me Voltage.
unfortunately there's no SSC here so I could fix it but battery seems a bit...................weird
maybe it's dead.
I try to buy a new one and try again.
BUT PLEASE GIVE UR FEEDBACK MAYBE I DIDN'T NEED TO BUY ANYTHING.
thank you guys again.
edit:it hasn't been hit since I flashed my Homebrew crappy ROM.

The first advice I can give to you is to take the battery out for overnight then put it back in.

It's not a 100% sure solution. Only a few had a problem worth to use it in our device. In my knowledge, most of them succeeded to get in to the download mode(That's not assuring you will). :fingers-crossed: Keep your battery fully charged by any other methods.
You can try it yourself. You can get one for just $1.6 from here or build one using this guide

Thank you!, i will try to buy one, i just did not saw any video in youtube describing my problem i think its just full brick and can't be fixed

nope. not turning on was full brick, u need unbrickable mod (UBM), jig for error entering download mode with 3 button combo or adb
n is it really brick? try charge it, juz plug da fone n leave it for 2 hours n boot it after that
n for ur info, error in flashing will result in middle or softbrick, if doesnt even turn on after flashing something with odin, then its not i9000 as flash i9003 with i9000 rom will result in full brick (which mean u need UBM for this problem)

[Q] Dead Galaxy Ace (GT-s5830)

Hello,
I have a problem with my galaxy ace.
I rooted it and flashed 2 roms succesfully (cyanogenmod (I can't recall which one) and another one (can't remember which)).
But when I tried to flash the third the phone went dead.
Now it won't do anything.
I tried to enter download mode with an USB jig.
I also tried to enter download mode by pulling everything out (sim, sd, battery) hooking it up a pc and hold vol -, home and power and reinstering battery.
I have searched for hours but it still doesn't work.
Anyone knows what's going on and maybe have a solution?

If you tell the name of roms you flashed, we can help. If the rom wasn't made for ace, then your device is hard bricked.

if you can't boot into download mode and you tried get it using an USB jig... then the last option is to send your device to the tech support, I'm sorry
Do you still have your device under warranty?
Good luck

My presumption is confirmed.. I don't have warranty anymore but it isn't much of a deal. I got this phone to play with but it would be fun to resurrect it.

It's a hard brick. You may have flashed a ROM from a different device.
If a USB jig doesn't work, that's probably the end of the road for your ace.
Tech support may help, but they'll probably replace the motherboard and that won't be cheap.
Sorry, mate.

WRONG SECTION!
To be lazy it's NOT ALLOWED on XDA forums! FIRST READ RULES and then read the posts completely ten times and finally read it again!!! ...and if you understand them, you'll try any modifications
Are your device a available warranty yet? send it to the technical service
...if not, you can say goodbye to your phone

Bro, try to follow the guide. Just pressing Vol Down+ Power+ Home button is completely different from preparing your odin, removing battery, connecting phone to computer, inserting the battery and pressing Vol Down+ Power + Home button. This method can, in the best case scenario, force open Download Mode. Give it a try! You have nothing to lose but something to gain. If this doesn't work, guide also provides details on USB Jig which is your last option. Hope I helped

The USB Jig method is just working for softbricked (it can boot, but looping) phones but can't go to recovery or download mode. So, it's not working for hardbricked phone
