[Q] Power reset or unknown upload mode after flashing CM10

Hello guys!
While flashing to CM10 from CM9, my phone rebooted and stopped into screen "Power Reset or Unknown upload mode", no keys are pressed while booting. Any ideas how to fix this? I discharged battery completely and put it again but still this screen shows up.
any idea?
try to enter download mode it seems that kernel is broken
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
Enter download mode, and then using odin just install any custom firmware or a stock firmware !
Hope it helps ! :fingers-crossed:
i've tried home + vol down+ power button
only logo of Samsung showed up, after that annoying message "Power reset......"
any idea?
Are you able to boot into CWM? if yes, ask someone if he can take your sd card and download a CWMflashable zip to it. The plug it into your own phone and flash... :fingers are crossed for you:
------------------------------
working on:
SuperRom64 (2.3.6)
Project Stock (4.0.4)
whatever i'd press, all the time i see samsung logo and after 30 secs an error message.
1. Switch off your mobile.
2. Now, press and hold the volume up key and the power button. Leave both buttons when you see the SAMSUNG logo.
3. After "Galaxy S" splash screen you will get a white box and android logo image like below,then press menu soft key and wait some second.
4. If you boot into recovery, then wipe everything and then flash the ROM.
And it seems that you have managed to brick your mobile ! But try this I hope it solves your problem.

Problem Solved (galaxy ace hugo boss)

Hi. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830, Hugo Boss Edition. It 's bricked and I done nothing.
It doesn't boot. It is stuck at the "Samsung" logo.
---I tryed the keys combination to Hard Reset the device. But each website I consulted, reccomend different keys combos.
They seem not work, which is a working one?
---Pressing some buttons together, it appears a "Downloading" written. (It's a yellow,little,at the center of the screen). I waited for an hour, but I had no results.
---How can I enter in Recovery Mode to do the Hard Reset? I don't have the USB cable to connect the phone and the PC...

Firstly, you should know custom roms for "cooperve" are designed to run only on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i and not on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830. Only custom roms for "cooper" are designed to run on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830. Due to hardware differences, running cooperve roms or kernels on Samsung Galaxy Ace can brick your phone. Sadly you have bricked your phone. But @SuperMini has provided us with a rather simple guide on how to unbrick Samsung Galaxy Ace. Go through the entire thread and you will get to know all the possible solutions. Here is the link,

Can you try switching the USB ports? Also try to enter Download mode by pressing Vol Down+ Power+ Home button as per the guide again. Pressing Vol Up+ Power+ Home button makes your phone to enter RAM Dump mode. Also inside odin, unselect "Protect OPS" option and give it a try. Do post your result. Hope I Helped

Make sure you have the latest USB drivers and uninstall KIES if you have it. Try again!

@fernando15j had a similar problem but he was able to go to Download mode by connecting the phone to PC with Odin set ready and pressing Download Mode button and then Vol Up. He then clicked Start on Odin and everything worked fine for him. Can you try that? Here is the link on how he did it,

S3 mini no power button

Hi im new here. I have big prob. My gt-i8190 power button is broken. When the button was still ok i was able to upgrade my rom to omnirom 5.1.1. I was really happy with it until the power button got broken. My prob is now cannot boot to recovery so i could install supersu. Hope u could help me.. (By the way is there a way to disable the pull down menu while the phone is locked? Coz often times the flash light opens by itself while its in my pocket.)
