I tried to install a firmware viaodin but now the Gear is just in the downloading mode and nothing is changing - how do I get back to the normal mode `?
Odin should have restarted the device after the flash. Did you flash the firmware in the PDA section?
Make sure you have the drivers installed on your computer. Hold down power button on gear to restart

Did you try to do what the post above you suggested? No matter what holding power would get you out of an unsuccessful Odin flash. Or if anything use Adb there's a bunch of guides/ commands to use. Just search adb in xda (all forums)

Thanks for the reply, I tried holding power button which wasn't successful, it just went straight back to downlond mode. Just so we're clear this all happened when I installed twrp from gears sd card, would it make a difference if its from there or from odin to sort this problem out?.. thanks

Hi,
I bought galaxy ace a week ago... updated via the latest gingerbread 2.3.6. (official way). After few days of testing the phone I found out that it is quite slow therefore I decided to root it... there is the problem, I cannot enter to recovery menu (home + power), even to download menu (home + vol down + power), everytime I hold the above mentioned combination I got soft reset of the phone... no menu, no nothing. I could not find anything on the web.. Could you help me how to enter to recovery menu OR how to root to CM7.2. a CWM without entering to recovery menu.
I believe the recovery menu has been blocked with new gingerbread 2.3.6.
Thank you.
I don't think so (about the blocked recovery) ..u go on trying dude ..recovery mode is a bit tougher to get in stock rom ..u should get it on the 10th attempt ( at least) I believe ..btw there are rooting guides in this forum ...check them out

does it mean that i should hold power + home for 10 soft restarts?
I think so here's a tip press the home button first ..keep it pressed and then press the power button UNTILL THE SCREEN COMES ON...recovery mode is tougher to get in stock rom(well at least for me )..in cm7 its nothing ..

I tried to soft restart 10 times no luck... even with your tip...can anyone else help me please?
only odin can help you as if you are not able to get into any kind of recovery and want cwm then odin is the only path for you .. do backup contacts,sms if you want
all other things will be lost..
and if you don't want to loose things then choose to skip rooting and love what you have now
and 2.3.6 haven't blocked recovery btw as i am using it
I cant use ODIN as I cannot access to download menu (vol down + home + power). Anyone else who can me advice?
turn your phone off!
Now without pressing the power button!
Hold the center button and plug your charger!
Still does not work, any other solution?
Try this if you have root access then install ROM toolbox from the market and try going into recovery via the app

Dude read the post properly I guess he's on stock rom and the only way of rooting gingerbread is the update.zip method ( correct me if I'm wrong ) ..so there's no way he could have root access ...

HE CANNOT ENTER RECOVERY MODE!
If you bought that way you should take it back show problem and let service take care of that!
Say that you were trying to do a factory reset when you found out that you coudn´t enter recovery mode!
I'm on stock ROM, just flashed this morning using ODIN. Even root will go then. To go into recovery press the home+power button till the phone turns on, leave the power button not the home button. You should land up in recovery. If that doesn't work then try using ADB. Go to adb with your phone normally on:
adb reboot recovery
but try flash recovery again
to enter fastboot:
adb reboot bootloader
And if You've worked with ODIN then download a new bootloader and flash it using ODIN.I think (not sure) the problem is with secondary bootloader (SBL).Put the phone into download mode using ADB:
adb reboot download
This will put your phone in download mode. Check Odin now, and if ID:COM has turned yellow, you’re good to gnce you’re satisfied, press the Start button on Odin. The flash will take couple of seconds, after which your phone will reboot automatically.
That’s it. This should fix your download and recovery mode 3-button combo issue. You can now apply any mods with the normal procedure.

You had mentioned updating to 2.3.6 in the official way? Kies or Service center? If Kies then did you get the download mode when it was updating? And No, Recovery is not blocked on 2.3.6

yeps it might be difficult first time,,,but never after i found it difficult,,,,
u need a working hand and usable brain....
hold the middle button and power button and as when u see the start screen just let go off the power button but still hold on middle button,,,
and u are in recovery mode...
same goes for download mode
keep hold on the vol down+middle button+power and then just let go off power button as u see the start screen(rather anything coming on screen )
enjoy
---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------
there is also an app in market ... quick boot or speed boot something like that...
and it DOESNT need root permission (long time no use so dont remember exactly but it should be)
u can try that
I had the same problem, but luckily I found this thread.
I can enter to recovery ONLY with adb reboot recovery command, pressing home button does nothing.
I'm using TWRP on my captivate as a recovery, and while i was flashing my rom, I wiped everything, and didn't make a nandroid
Now my phone goes straight to TWRP and I can't boot to download mode to restore with Odin.. Any help would be appreciated
Mount USB in recovery and load a new package to flash. You cannot flash a stock image from recovery.

If you want recovery mode, do this:
1. Pull your battery
2. Put the battery in
3. Hold both the volume up and down buttons
4. Insert the USB
5. You are now in DL mode!

Unfortunately, my TWRP has problems with mounting, and my phone does not join in recovery mode... The only package I have in my internal SD is CM7 which I was trying to flash after using Team Nyx's ICS, but the problem is, when flashing, TWRP gets an error and my package will not flash (it's a mounting error with emmc). Also, I've tried about 4 different key combinations and can't get my phone into download mode, it just boots straight into recovery.
I guess there is no "reboot download" option under advanced like in cwm recovery. And i'm not sure if you could use ADB to reboot to download mode because of the ics.
Last resort, check my sig below if u r on a pc for links on how to make a Jig or where to buy one.

I'm a complete android noob, so I'm not sure how to use ADB on my pc to get my phone into download mode, and also, I no longer have an OS running on my phone, and I don't think you can reach ADB shell unless you have your phone in USB Debugging mode.
Heys guys ive got a problem with my S5830i, i wanted to flash AceCream v1 for the second time but at some point i failed, (i flashed it succesfully first time)
now my phone is Rebooting everytime and black brick appears on the screen covering 4/5 of the Galaxy ace logo
whenever i try to go into CWM, it just reboots.
I've tried odin, won't even connect to the phone.
Does anyone know how o fix that? Help would be really appreciated.

I can't go to recovery mode, and dunno what Download mode is
is it battery with loading circle on it?
download mode: vol up + vol down + power button
recovery mode: vol up + power + menu.
in order to connect your phone and use odin you should go to download mode.

Yes i can, and it didnt reboot, so it means my phone isn't hard bricked
yes maybe just a soft one. You do know how to use Odin, right? You can flash a stock firmware, there's one thread who has stock firmware just follow the instructions from there. try this. Hope you fix your ace in no time :good:

Try installing the Samsung drivers yourself, I think there is one in Sammobile.com. Not sure though, or just try visiting samsung's website and download the drivers.
Just Google for Samsung mobile usb driver, i have just downloaded it few hours ago.

Hello everyone,
I've been using this community for a while, but this is my first post. One or two months ago I successfully rooted my Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 and installed Imaginary ICS Final along with CWM Recovery 5.0.2.6. Everything worked fine but today I decided to update to a 4.4 custom rom. I installed CM 11 from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659269, but after selecting my language a popup apeared which said "The setup aplication has stopped working", so I looked for another ROM. I found this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684893, but it required TWRP Recovery to be installed. I downloaded it, copied it to my SD and tried to install it form CWM 5.0.2.6.
Now, my phone goes into a blue screen whether I try to boot normally or into the recovery menu and I don't now how to solve it. Since I can boot into download mode, I've tried using Odin, but it doesn't recognize my phone. Can anyone help me, please? Thanks a lot in advance.
PS: I'm using Windows 8.1 x64.
EDIT: Now Odin recognizes it, but it gets stuck in "<1> setup connection...".
EDIT 2: I've solved it flashing through Odin with a PC running a clean installation of Windows 7.

You usually get the "setup connection" error when you are in the Emergency Download Mode instead of Download Mode. You go to Emergency Download Mode by holding down Volume Up + Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button in which it loads a screen that says "Emergency Download Mode" and you go to Download mode by holding down Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button in which it does load the correct download screen with the yellowish message that say "Downloading…". Please make sure you are going to the Download Mode. Then try to flash again. Do post the result. Hope I Helped
Phone should detect in odin if you've Installed proper drivers for your phone.

You're right, I was entering Emergency Download Mode (the one which says ARM9 mode). However, if I enter the normal download mode and plug my phone, Odin doesn't recognize it and Windows shows a message in the traybar which says "Can't recognize USB device".

Clear your USB drivers. Also make sure you have Samsung USB drover installed. And make sure you don't a yellow exclamation in device manager. And download correct firmware. Try different Odin's if you have to.
