3. The boot loader is in a loop.
I have read alot of post that might suggest that there is nothing to do about this matter.
HELP PLZ
Thanks For all Who Read
you need to flash the kernel and a new rom i'm going to explain why.
first of all you need to flash your device with odin, i recommend you read a lot how can you flash with odin, the kernel and rom. you have a boot loop because the rom is not compatible with your device and i think the kernel have issiues to. see the description of the rom you flash it and see others roms and kernels if you have galaxy tab i recomend you download in www.humberos.com.br and when you learn how to flash it, put in download mode and do it

and dont forget make a full data wipe and dalvik cache wipe to
im not rooted. i dont think i will be able to do odin rom....
About rooting, flashing the Kernel will root it. Try it?
update:
Thanks for all the help..... i just got it back working..... i flashed the VZW 2.3.5 Rooted Kernel.
im so happy ...Because i thought i lost it....
Hi All,
I am in desperate need of help.
I have a nexus s. rooted, with cyanogenmod kernel and slimbean rom.
My friend has a galaxy s1 that had unrooted froyo.
A friend of his rooted it, and put gingerbread on it. I wanted to put slimbean on it for him.
I did so.
Except, that his mobile network wouldnt connect.
I googled, and found that this could be because the kernel is not compatible with the rom.
So I downloaded cyanogenmod kernel and flashed.
But this didnt work, because I think the download was corrupted or something.
I tried to re boot into clockwork, but it just got stock on the first loading screen.
Since then I have tried everything and have been googling for hours... I dont know what to do. I have tried so many different things.
Please can some guru help me figure out what to do?
My friend is pissed as hell at me, I told him it will be painless quick and easy. Thats how it was for me and i assumed same for him.
PLEASE!! I need HELP!! :'(
Edit: I reflashed semaphore and it now goes into cwm. But now when I flash the rom and reboot it, it just reboots automatically into cwm again. Anyone know where to go from here?
Thanks in advance,
Zeddicus

It appears to be a bootloop. That means flashing messed with boot partition and you have to reflash boot. Is this phone i9000 or i9001?
Search for similar topics like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590747
If you can get to CWM or download mode nothing bad happend - you can repair everything, however it would be wise if you had backup of previous, working ROM
Calm down its fixable first you try to fix it without Odin by
- flashing slim bean again don't forget full wipe flash i9000.zip twice the first time it will reboot half way through at least it did for me
-then pull out the battery and boot into cwm
- flash both slim bean files
- this should get the phone starting again after that to get network working flash this file in cwm http://www.mediafire.com/?fbgxblhbip7bkuv it should get network running credit goes to pwneman for that
Let me know how it goes

Try to format your sdcard in fat32 filesystem (through Windows/CWM or any other various ways if this won't work)
Also try other sdcard...
If formatting card doesn't fix the problem try to reflash CWM via Odin in Download mode.
ok i did a hard reset and left batt out for a good few min and got the sdcard back again.
i followed the steps u said latrop and it didnt fix it... still booted back into cwm...
since i now have the sdcard back i am making a backup zip file of it just in case lol
@divibyzero
i followed that post but it didnt fix the problem
OK you will have to flash with Odin I'll get back to you with instructions

Make sure you have the Samsung drivers installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961959/ then once that's done phone should start up if it does follow my previous instructions

Wait, before you odin flash:
Let me get this straight, your rom .zip is on your external sd card? it has to be in your internal sd card.
From the recovery main menu, go to mounts & storage. From there, plug in your phone to your computer and select "Mount internal USB storage."
You'll be able to then copy the rom file into your internal sd card. While you're at it, I'd recommend X-Bean, as it's currently faster and more stable than SlimBean. Then, unmount your phone and return to the recovery menu and select install zip and choose the file you've just copied.
Please let me know how it goes.
@kngroo
thats what i did.. ive flashed tons of roms and kernels before on my nexus s...
its this galaxy s 1 that isnt working for some reason... it was meant to be a quick and painless proceedure which has turned into a nightmare
gonna probably have to format the sdcard now :*(
Hi All,
I wanna give a SERIOUS thank you to latrop.
This guy is a freaking legend. He just sat with me for almost 2 hours helping me sort out the phone. We did almost everything you can think of and then some... But ultimately it was latrops great experience and knowledge that helped save my ass here...
Phone is running full on slimbean rom with great reception etc.
Latrop... you are a legend!!!
Just wipe/factory reset and wipe cache
its work for me and maybe it would work with you too
Hi all,
I rooted my galaxy ace and everything was fine running with custom firmware.
Recently my phone started to show trouble , so i tried installing new cyanogen ROM but im not able to do so since it is stuck with data wipe screen.
Im running recovery 5.0.2.6. , In the recovery im able to format system but when i select either format data or cache , the device hangs and i have to pull out the battery to restart.
Tried all possible ways to troubleshoot this issue , i have also flashed new firmware but no luck.
Im afraid that my device might have been bricked or could have a fault in the phone memory chip.
Please help .
it probably recovery fault, because it out of date and cynaogen mod is ext formatted, while stock is usally rfs try flashing 5.0.2.7 recovery
hmmm , im not able to find recovery 5.0.2.7 , can you please send me the link

When you say " flashed new firmware" do you mean with Odin? If you haven't done that yet, you should

Update 1: I also formated /system
Hi, and if you're reading past the title, thanks anyway.
A friend of mine came with the request to flash a CM that runs a JB 4.2.2, as he was tired of his Note running ICS 4.0.4 ever since he saw my Nexus 4's CM10.1. I did warn him that it is potentially dangerous, but as I do consider myself a non-technical power user in terms of computers, and flashing my Nexus 4 seemed like a breeze, I agreed that I will do my best. This post is a bit longer than one would like, but I want to cover all points, since I feel personally responsible for bricking his phone (neither of us is particularly rich, so it's a big deal).
The first thing I did is root the phone with the ExynosAbuse trick, but upon reading CM's instructions on flashing their ROM, it advised that rooting the Note is neither necessary nor recommended. Upon seeing that, I simply unrooted the phone and deleted the app.
Next, I installed the Heimdall Suite 1.3.1 for Windows upon reading that 1.3.2. is potentially unsafe, used heimdall flash --kernel zImage --no-reboot to flash hardcore's CWM speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-15-Odin, and not the one that is linked in CM's guide, since the link was dead, regardless I thought I've got the correct kernel and went for it. From this point onward, the boot Note logo had this yellow triangle on:
I then downloaded the latest CM Nightly - cm-10.1-20130409-NIGHTLY-n7000 and put it on the SD card manually vie the PC explorer and then booted into recovery and unzipped it, the installation went fine, the Note was officially running the latest CM10.1 (as required by the guide, I wiped data/factory reset in CWM)
And this is when things started getting ugly.
Everything ran perfect, but for some reason the new ROM couldn't see the internal SD card that held everything (I wanted to put gapps, having forgotten to intially unzip them with the ROM flashing). Nothing made it work, the phone was no longer accessible via the PC, in MTP mode it didn't show on my desktop, and showed as empty on my laptop. Camera mode worked on both computers. USB Storage only worked every now and then with no clear pattern, but both partitions that I could see were greyed out on both my laptop and desktop and I couldn't access them. I Google'd and saw that a lot of people had reported that the latest CM nightly is causing this problem, and to revert to an older ROM. I next chose the stable cm-9.1.0-n7000.zip. I ended up with a 4.0.4 CMod, but I still couldn't see the internal SD card and then decided to try the even older cm-9.0.0-n7000.zip - same thing.
This was already more than 3 hours into the process and I was going crazy so I supposed my next move was kind of retarded in hindsight - I loosely remember reading something about having to format the partitions, and mount/unmount in CWM didn't bring back any results, and CWM kept giving back errors including /emmc/ so I went into CWM and formatted the eMMC thinking that will solve the problem.
The phone is now displaying a battery, but it's stuck on loading even though it's been charging for a few hours now and must be at 100%. Both Download Mode and Recovery Mode are available, and I can flash things via DL Mode. CWM Works too, but for some reason it got reverted back to 5.8.x instead of the recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-n7000. This is the error I get when trying to flash a ROM now: (Status 7).
I decided to not go any further and instead ask for help and see if anyone was feeling like extending a hand. I know it was retarded to wipe the eMMC before consulting guides, but the amount of information is quite frankly intimidating and it made it near impossible for me to know exactly what I was supposed to do. The phone is still under warranty by his Carrier, but we do not have any Samsung services around where we live. I could tell him to go ahead and service it in, but won't the counter give away that the phone has been messed with and void his warranty?
Any help is appreciated!
P.S. being a new user, I am not allowed to post external links, as such the pictures I snapped can't be linked :/

Or else, simply download a GB ROM, flash it using PC Odin and do wipe in stock android recovery. It will give you bootloop unless you wipe.

Update 1: Mounting as USB in Recovery gives the familiar USB Connected Windows sound, but I do not see the device in my explorer for some reason?
Update 2: PC Odin does not appear to recognize the device -- the ID:COM row remains unchanged and does not turn yellow? Moreover, Win 7 claims the devices has malfunctioned and does not recognize it whilst it's stuck on the battery load image. If I go to Download/Recovery mode, Windows starts recognizing it, but seldom shows SAMSUNG_Android and sometimes Gadget Serial?!
I will attempt your (2nd) steps now. I decided to download AllianceROM_JB_N7000XXLSZ-v3 MD5 e65d777f7a519ed71304b7dc73d9eed5.zip and the Kernel_CM10.1_Official_20130328_n7000_N8Mali.zip kernel. Should I instead pair this Kernel with the CM10.1 ROM or it doesn't matter I suppose?

I have CWM, but it's an older 5.8.x version. Is that alright? I also obtained an ext. SD card just to get this working, but I read somewhere that it's not okay to put files on it via another devices (my only card reader has slot for only the older, bigger SD Cards, and not Micro-SD). Can I use my e-Reader to put the files on the ext. SD?

Try flashing alliance if you can. Ignore the guide. App is necessary if you want to customize the installation.
Also, I wouldn't suggest using such heavy ROMs in order to get out of a problem. Use something like SlimBean (in the original development section). It is just 87mb and is perfectly safe.
P.S.:Have you tried flashing a GB ROM via PC Odin ?

What Do you mean by "keeps restarting" Bro, Is it stuck on the bootanimation?
If your phone doesn't get pass boot animation and reboots, then there's only one way to fix it. Your personal files and data would be gone but I'm sure it's backed up with your google account. Watch this and follow the instructions. Installing a stock firmware using ODIN. Hope it helped

Are you currently using a stock rom or a custom rom? Anyway you can solve this problem by just flashing back the stock rom using odin. Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin along with all firmwares and drivers (check the "Preparations" section),
Flash stock rom on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 using odin
If your PC cannot recognize the phone, its usually the drivers. Once installed, go to recovery mode (hold power+ Home button) and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur). Then restart. Now you have successfully flashed the stock rom. Here is the link for rooting and installing CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace. Just flash them from the recovery mode (choose "install zip from sdcard" and then select the zip file from sdcard).

The Apocalypse you are referring to is the custom rom that is installed in your phone. When you bought you phone, you had Samsung's version of Froyo/ Gingerbread installed in your phone. That rom is called stock rom. Custom roms are build by developers using cyanogen mod sources. Now you keep having restarts and since clearing data and cache from CWM didn't solve it, I suggest you install another rom. Now this is where you have to make a choice. You can either install a stock rom (stable, nice battery backup, etc) or a custom rom (fast, performance oriented, customizable, etc). Before you do install another rom, backup all app data using Titanium Backup. If you choose Stock rom, then follow my previous post on how to install stock rom on your phone. Now if you choose custom rom, then first we need to update CWM 4 to CWM 5.
CWM 5.0.2.6 fix for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830
Download the CWM 5 zip file to SD Card and reboot your phone to recovery mode (Power off then hold Home+ Power button). Now choose "Install zip from SD Card" and choose the zip file. Done! You have successfully installed CWM 5. Now time for you to install a new custom rom. Refer the following guide for all the custom roms for our device,
Know your Device:Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 ~Root~Odin~CWM~ROM LIST
For time being use any Gingerbread roms. Download it to SD Card and then reboot to recovery mode. Now choose Wipe data/ factory reset, Wipe cache partitions, Advanced> Wipe dalvik cache, Wipe battery stats, Mounts & Storage> Format /system. Now select "Install zip from SD Card" and choose your rom zip file. Reboot and you can use your new rom. Whenever you want to install any new custom rom, just follow the same procedure. Now as for the low internal memory problem, we might have a solution. But the catch is it requires a rom with init.d support (something all custom roms have and stock roms doesn't ) and an ext partition on SD Card. First backup all the SD Card data. Now go to CWM> Advanced> Partition SD Card> Size (Max 1GB, anymore and system will lag)> Swap (0MB) and wait for it to say "Partitioning done". Now download and place CronMod script (try INT2EXT+ as it is the most stable of all) to SD Card. Now again go to CWM> Mounts & Storage> Mount /system then flash the Cronmod zip from CWM. Reboot and you are good to go. Now go to Settings>Storage to see the newly increased internal memory. Here is the link,

Follow @mahithm instructions to flash a fresh STOCK rom and the next tine DON'T USE CWM 4x, it's outdated, there are several recovery systems based on CWM 5x, they're the most stable for a daily usage and they're required to flash most of the custom roms
