Hi there
By mistake i messed up the CP and AP bin files(they were really small in size) then i flashed my phone with same AP and CP files using Smart flash (i was able to go into s/w mode).
I tried to switch on my phone but then the phone didn't switch on(nothing works no led lights too and black screen) nor was i able to go into s/w mode :crying:
I brought the phone to a technician and he said he can't fix the phone because the software completely crashed
Can you please help me with some instructions on how to resolve this issue please
Why don't you try the hard reset method. Go to the thread, it's below the smartflash tool.. It's a thread for noobs/newbies. Not sure if it will work though

The hard reset doesn't work, is there anyway to revive the phone ? Or is there a way to flash it without s/w update ?

Hey Guys,
I have Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830), recently while uprading the my ace with the Cyanogenmod10, i had bricked my phone, now it never goes into the download mode so that i can flash the firmware with Odin. Actually yesterday, i used Rom Manager to Install the Custom Rom, and when said yes to install the custom rom, phone shutdown, and never started again, i googled around for some way out to go into the download mode, tried all the key combination, but could not go into the download mode, i tried the Home + VolumeUp and connected the USB to PC, with this method, my phone was detected, but because it was not in the download mode (i guess), so Odin just stucked at setup connection... and does not go further. Have anyone went through this dilemma, can anyone help me out of this, my warranty period is elapsed, so was thinking to get phone back to life myself.
Please anyone help me with this, i love the phone... I know that was my mistake to use Rom Manager to Install the Rom.
take it to the service. there is no other way. i tried everything, belive me. repairing costed me 200hrk (around 45$).
and
DONT USE ROM MANAGER
By taking it to a service center...Only way to recover it

i know that could be the way to back my phone to life, but just wondering, what the servicing guys would be going to do, which i cannot do.
They'll use a JTAG. You can do that to but they're really really really expensive.

actually i know they will be going to use that, but they says they will be replacing the motherboard and according to that they are charging, but i know they will not be going to replace motherboard, is there any way i can check whether they have replaced the motherboard or not, or is there any other way to make it work without going to the service center.

check the back of your phone.when you remove your battery you will see 3 gold squares..when you take it to the service center and it becomes 9 silver small squares it means that they didnt change the motherboard they just solder it to connect wires to the motherboard they used jtag...:cyclops:

Check for imei no. If they use JTAG it won't change since the motherboard/chip set of the phone is same.

Don't know where, but its more expensive than a brand new ace (and lots of low-mid range smartphones)
I bricked mine 1 week after getting it. I took it in and said it shut off and I can't turn it back on. They made sure it wasn't the battery, then replaced it under warranty. So if you still have a warranty, it's worth a try. The guys at the store won't know you've been screwing around with it.
To use Rom Manager you need a CM-compatible rom installed. It says that right on Rom Manager's download page. DO NOT USE WITH STOCK ROMS EVER!!!

I updated the phone with that prompt.... After the whole update process screen displayed that phone update is complete and reboot the phone which i did Since then phone is dead, displaying nothing :crying:
I tried every solution on google but phone is not going into any mode "downloading" or "recovery" however for the first time when it all happened i tried to connect it to laptop and punched the combination of keys into phone the laptop for a while recognized and installed the drivers for the same but it didnt come up as a drive or anything, Now it is not even recognizing the phone connected. :crying:

Agreed with Shaan... try another shop then...
but I still don't get it.. how can a software update "kill" your phone..?
When I was on GB, I got a software update and by mistake I tapped on "Install"... ( I didn't want to install because I was using custom kernel)... so after the update downloaded.. it went to Recovery or something to install but it couldn't.. my phone showed me an "Broken Android" logo or something and turned off... After turning it on everything was OK (fortunately)...

If the ota killed ur phone they will not charge u anything for the repair, search for official Samsung service centre. If I were u, I would try to open odin with the jb tar, connect the phone without the battery and while pressing vol(-) + power + home, as soon as it recognize the device press start to flash

Hello everyone ! Two days ago I wanted to flash the stock firmware on my S6500D and the pc restarted when I was flashing the recovery.img I think..and now the phone shows only the Samsung logo ( but very very veeery low-quality resolution ) with some lines in right, how can I repair it..?
ye, it's a brick. I had the same problem when I bricked mine. At first it had corrupted graphics, after some minutes it didn't boot at all.
There's no way to reflash it..? Without replacing the motherboard , I mean..using the software side.
JTAG

man, try do self jtag, watch on youtube videos etc, its simply and not expensive and it can repair your phone. if it cant help, just go to mobile center for new board

i read jtag also working on all galaxy family devices. try it, try.
I could give the device to a repair service ( GSMobile for me ) and they could repair it, but I don't want to give money for this device because the screen is also broken and I think in 2 months I'll buy a S3 Mini ( I love S3, belive me ) and if I find a way with a small amount of money to repair the phone I will do it ! But this jig..I also used some JIG for bricked PS3 but it's not the same way.. and I don't know a lot of things about making one for my phone, if you have a tutorial I will do it, but after I get the S3 Mini I'll surely repair this phone, I want to continue developing and searching and helping the other Mini2 owners, it is my first Android phone and it means very much to me.
JIG is only meant to force the phone into download mode. If the JIG works, your device is not hard bricked... Otherwise, I mean, if it is hard bricked, service center will take care of it. JTAG != JIG
I'll try to JIG tomorow , I'm using this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604707 , TheWhisp, the recovery.img file wasn't flashed totally, I mean it was about 60%..but the boot.img / system.ext4 ( I Think it was like that ) / other files were flashed with succes.. maybe the JIG will do it for me !

Be careful..it might brick your phone completely as the power button is linked to motherboard. This has happened to my friend's mini, when he gave it in so called samsung service center....even they failed to repair power button and bricked his phone...they gave him a dead phone..
This is not the right section to post your questions/help....you should post this kind of questions in q/a section.

Dude, virus cannot affect your hardware. But still if you think then make a full.format
Go to cwm - mount - format system etc
P.S this will format your OS too u then need immediatly flash a rom.
Or
Open your galaxy mini
Clean power button
Re close it
It's simple YouTube it.

There's no such thing as virus can affects the power button.
Really, Android malware isn't exact thing as Window's malware. Android's virus needs permission to make your power button not working.
This is a hardware problem, I believe. Try to send it to SSC.

And its better to visit phone shops so may check your phone problem.

I managed to fix the button. How? I dont know
but I'll tell what happened.
I installed the Miui rom v4 by magmini, a couple days later I was watching a video and turned the phone upside down.

Well good for you to figure it out.
Does anybody or can any body get me a scatter file ? Seeing as how its hard bricked and dead to the world I cant try to resurrect it without one. Maybe a 900a may work if they are close enuff.
hey can someone that has a 870 active please use sp flashtool and create me a scatterfile/? i hardbricked mine . need this scatterfile to bring it back up to life. if you need more info about it just let me know. it just reads memory locations so it can map them to flash certain files back to them , need it to recover the bootloaders sections. its like a pit file for odin it just flashes without it being in download mode.
Some help would be nice uh, Hi^~^
OK mate I've get away from modding my phones from 2 years now but if you guide me throughout the process I'll give you the file you need a g870a here ~ text me or whatever you want to [email protected] English or Spanish is welcome

Oh I fixed it a while back. By the way our phones are almost unbrickable as long as its just software related. I mean I hardbricked it and got it from no lights sounds or even charging screen, I mean nothing so if you happen to do that it's still fixable, and I have all the files to recover it.
