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.

any chance you can explain how to use it, i got it recognise the phone but thats it!
i put phone into download mode, could you explain how i can fix with it?

madkid21

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?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

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!

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!

[Q] Help plz!!

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..

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.

Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app

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.

yes. I flashed cwm.zip What can I do now? I downloaded google chrome and was using it when the device has stopped working and freezed. Is there any hope to fix it? AND if it can't be fixed. Just tell me internet shop where I can find new motherboard for it. It's N7000......

The internet shop you are looking for doesn't exist - Samsung Repair Center (or whatever name it has) can replace it.
But first you should verify that your brick is true. Using CWM.zip is deadly but your other statements aren't so clear.
1. So maybe you try to install a GB or ICS stock Rom with Odin on your PC. If the installation stops in Odin at "factoryfs.img" you are bricked.
2a. Then you can try the workaround with repartition (excluding the damaged sectors) from hg42.
2b. Or replace the motherboard

and where can I find a new mother board? The device is not dettectable in Odin. ANd why is cwm deadly?

AW: [Q] Please help me. Samsung Galaxy N7000
Samsung only has the boards. They'll replace it for you.
Not CWM is the problem but the cwm.zip you used - but I think that isn't confirmed until now by your statements. Try Odin and stock rom first please. Thanks

You tried a different battery: nothing
You can't start in download mode or recovery mode (are you sure you pressed the correct buttons long enough?).
If so you have a cold stone now. Only a Samsung Center somewhere can help you.

One more try. Pull battery out for a couple of minutes. Reinsert. Immediately press volume down + power + home for 15 -20 seconds. Press volume up. Open PC Odin (make sure appropriate drivers are installed first). Connect to PC with USB cable. See if "COM" box turns yellow. Report back...

Why would u use that - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942957 !!!
Go on CWM, its healthier for our Ace!

It has nothing to do with having a partition or not.
It bricks the phone anyways. Better remove that app, its dangerous if you don't know what functions of it can be used safely.

Oh, so the whole thing bricks it? Why is that, also I am using cwm anyways

Mostly the motherboard i think, people reported that they had to get new a motherboard installed in order to unbrick it.

Hmm, that's confused me, I thought it would have broke it system wise. I know how to flash, root, etc, but I'm not exactly sure how they all work, but I thought that flashing just overwrit the system+os. So two questions, when you root/flash does that interact with the hardware in anyway and how?

Rom manager ... flashes new recovery ... with wrong mounting points ... making your phone useless it will be like having the light switch of your kitchen in your bed room and your bed room light switch on your attic ... know what i mean? Nothing will work !! Since the phone will change the mp to points that dont exist on your phone.
Just flash cwm from stock recovery or from odin and you'll be ok
