stock firm= froyo,gb. available on samfirmware.com
ya it's done using odin only....download frm samfirmware n try again

For rooting ...
And once you fix your phone, use the upd_1.zip or tass-recovery-cwm.tar to root the phone.
Please note that if you want to remove the lock put in by the carrier, it is a different game.

tha same problem when i use odin with the original frimware.
i don't know what to do to resolve my problem
the phone start, but i have screen flickers.

1 Which version of odin? (Please give full file name)
2. Which firmware version?
3. Have you chosen the appropriate files in appropriate columns - tass, modem, csc, etc? (Or used the one package option - you cannot use one package option for packages with separate files and otherway around too).
4. Are you using the correct USB drivers on the PC?
5. What exactly do you mean by screen flickering?
Can you post output of the log in ODIN?

Hello,
i am using Odin v4.38
i tried to use multiple frimware like: S5570XXKPF, S5570BGKC3_XECKC2_BGKC1, and the original frimware: S5570XXKB1
i am using the correct usb driver from samsung.
for the sreen flickering, i meam when the phone download all package from Odin and after rebooting, i have screen flickering and the phone don't boot.
this is the log from odin:

Per logs, everything is going right. Unless you messed up the order in files are chosen in odin. (tass.ops, csc, modem, etc).
Can you post a video of the flickering problem? You may have to use another phone, and post the video to youtube.
Also, my question remains - was the phone tied down to any particular carrier?

If you are having boot loop you should wipe data and cache in recovery.
If you are trying to flash gingerbread and don't have a carrier locked phone you can try flashing any gingerbread available at samfirmware.com. They work with any region's phone. If you need details on upgrading visit this:
http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/08/upgrade-samsung-galaxy-popmini-gts5570.html

description about screen flickering because i don't have another phone to take video: when you put on the galaxy you have displayed in the scren Samsung www.samsungmobile.com and the phone reboot in loop and you have every 3 seconde samsung, and i can't turn off the mobile, for turn off i remove the battery.

i don't have acces to recovery mode, i have only downloading mode.
i tried to install new firmware like Gingerbread, but i have the same problem.

Tried installing CWM recovery and then getting into recovery mode?

yes i tried now, and also the same problem.

Have you tried other key combinations? Like pressing the big button in middle while holding the power button?

Yes i tried and also the same problem.

What's your problem by the way... Are you able to see samsung logo or text?? try flashing gingerbread from start. Read this if you have problem...
http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/08/upgrade-samsung-galaxy-popmini-gts5570.html
And if it is successfull I am sure you'll be able to go to recovery so wipe data and cache there. Otherwise falsh CWM recovery then go toi recoveyr and wipe data and cache...
Remember Home + Power Button = Recovery

the same problem with Gingerbread, i tried 4 version

hi there!
i have same problem . i try to install any rom . on some rom i see big partition size error . i can't power on my phone. does exist any way to format cache or data or any wipe command to clear all data on phone?

[Q] bricked.. only recovery mode

here is my problem.. i rooted my galaxy mini with android 2.2.1.. and i tried to unlock it.. now i can't turn the phone on.. it stuck on flashing samsung boot screen... i can only go to download mode.. i tried to apply new firmware using odin in download mode.. but after it is done, it resets and it's flashing at boot anyway.. is there any way to enable recovery mode or to unbrick my phone in some differrent way...

you can go in the download mod but after flash another rom it reboot ??
what rom you use ?

i flashed it with gingerbread 2.3.3... and after odin is done.. it s not rebooting it is only flashing... it s not trying to reboot... i don t know why.. and then i have to remove battery... then i tried to turn it on and then the samsung logo is flashing again... can someone at least tell me how to hide that phone was rooted and stuff because i will have to take it to the service center..

i guess u would have not done the flashing procedure properly
1.put all files properly in odin
2.put your phone in download mode
3.connect the phone to pc
4.after odin detects the phone flash it

Try flashing again new firmware and be sure your doing it
the right way, theres a lot of instructions on the web on how to, aftr flashing it Shoud print "PASS" when flashing is succesful, then take hes advice install CWM and flash a new rom and that should be fine, its not bricked believe me, your just a little nervous right now kinda paranoid, chill sir.you can do it.

after that it says pass, but my phone is only flashing, nothing on the screen... it s not rebooting at all... i put it in downloading mode, set up odin, then connected and pushed start (been using odin 10 times at least).. so i only can pull the battery out, and then try to start it, but then it is only samsung logo flashing... tried to install clockw recovery 5.0.2.6 with odin by sending one package, same thing, can t access download mode too... i only didin t try custom rom because i don t know anything about it... is there possibillity that the phone battery is too weak? i can t see, and i really don t know is it all beacause of that..

Hey there.. After you flash from odin and it says PASS, does it display the boot animation? If it does, wait for a few minutes. If it's too long, disconnect the phone. Turn it off by pressing the power button until its off or remove the battery. Now, without thr battery, press power button for 30 seconds. Then release, put battery back. Press home+power button only to boot in stock recovery. Use volume keys to navigate to wipe data/ factory reset. Confirm by navigating Yes. Reboot system and hopefully resolves your problem. If not, make sure you have the correct files selected in odin.

if the phone is not rebooting after flashing then you must have unchecked the auto reboot option in odin
after flashing let the phone flash the package through recovery it is very necessary
and if you want to hide that the phone is rooted or you have done something wrong with the phone then just flash any 'one package' 2.2.1 firmware and phone will not even light up but it can go to download mode or recovery mode so no problem no can see that something have been changed

just reflash it with another new rom.
that didn't called bricked

reflash the rom and WIPE DATA/CACHE USING STOCK RECOVERY NOT CWM RECOVERY

Please Help My Galaxy S Plus I9001 was Bricked

I already changed the USB port but not the PC

You posted in the bad location!
Btw: flash broodrom(the odin version). I had the same problem and the broodrom saved me.
P.s: never flash a rom if you know it won't work

He means this one http://sourceforge.net/projects/broodrom/files/broodROM_RC5.rar/download
Just flash it the same way I explained it in my tutorial, btw why aren't you looking for the new tutorial? http://broodplank.net/?p=234

1. stop panicking...you are not helping yourself...if you can still enter download mode (which you obviously can) then you're all good..
2.try restarting your PC (helped me a few times when i got stuck)
3.if that doesn't work try changing USB cable and port
good luck:good:

You have to format your pc before flash or try another Pc. Thats all

Galaxy ace S5830 got bricked after mounting /efs partition

Hello,
I've stupidly bricked my phone after following this stated "outdated and risky" SIM unlock tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204705
OK, you can blame me , I did not take required caution. I just read quickly the procedure and thought that anyway mounting a partition as readonly could not damage anything.
I've followed strictly the procedure, and after "cat /efs/mits/perso.txt" I've involuntary exit from ADB (due to ^C pressed).
I've immediately connected back, noticed /efs was still mounted, and umounted it. All was fine until I've rebooted my phone one day later and now the phone keeps looping immediately after boot. In fact the backlight turns on, and 1 sec later it turns off for 1-2 seconds, and turns on again, off....
Nothing is displayed on the phone, just backlight going on and off.
Here is the current status:
I manage to go to download mode by pressing VOL- + HOME, but I can not go to recovery (as it restart before).
I can connect with ODIN v4;42.
I can successfully flash a stock firmware with ODIN. I've used Orange France latest ROM (S5830BVKT3_S5830FTMKT1_S5830BVKT3_HOME.tar.md5). Here is the ODIN output:

However, my phone is still bricked ! After ODIN reboot, it goes back again in the infinite restart loop !
So what's wrong there ? Do you think that /efs partition is corrupted ?
I saw that with this ODIN version, I can flash the EFS partition. Of course, I have no backup of it ! I have some receent CWM backups, but no efs partition is included.
If this partition is actually corrupted, could anyone having also a S5830 provide me with a dump of its EFS partition, so I could try to restore it in my phone ?
Any other idea of what is wrong and how to fix it ?
Thanks for help / advise.

Hi,
Thanks for this advice, but as said I can not go into recovery.
I've tried both with (VOL- VOL+ POWER) and (HOME POWER), same result: phone never ends to loop as described.
The only thing I can do is going into download state (with VOL- HOME).
Is there a way to wipe /data and /cache through ODIN ?
Thanks.

It does not work. I've kept HOME + POWER pressed for 10 loops, and nothing happens.
The phone loops every ~3 seconds, it is very quick. Backlight ON for 1 sec, then backlight OFF for 2 sec.
When I press VOL- HOME, it enters in download mode at next loop, every time. Hence I'm afraid only download mode is working an I need to find a way to fix what is wrong with ODIN, as it seems to be the only tool able to connect with the device.
Any other idea ? What about using ODIN to restore /efs partition ? Could someone post a backup of its /efs partition ? Ideally from a device sold by Orange FR to have the right network setting, but any other could help to validate this assumption.
Thanks

Please, clear solutions!!!
Hi!
It's my first post here! I have to thank everyone around here who share knowledge, intelligence and loads of patience with each other to help resolve problems...
The thing is I've got a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 I bought from ebay. I got it right I guess, the thing is I wanted to erase the Vodafone intro it had and leave it with the original ROM by Samsung.
I flashed it with ODIN v.4.38 and after some bugs due to KIES running, etc. everything was right, except for the IMEI that was 000000000000000. It seems that my net connection was not forbidden by my operator (Simyo), but some apps gave me errors related to the 0 IMEI.
As many users, I searched the way to get my IMEI back and, found on many webs the dd method. I ran it through Android Terminal Emulator as SuperUser, of course, on my phone:
# dd if=/dev/block/stl5 of=/sdcard/stl5.rfs
# dd if=/sdcard/stl5.rfs of=/dev/block/stl5
# reboot
You can guess my phone is now bricked, it can't start, got a bootloop with Samsung logo. I cannot enter the recovery mode neither RAM Dump, only can get it into Download Mode (Downloading...).
I tried as many users as well that ODIN method to try reflashing that stl5.rfs that I luckily got saved before it got bricked. But as you guess as well, ODIN fails always and cannot reflash efs folder. I also tried with ops file modifications to supposedly allow the right efs slot.
Heimdall didn't work for me so far, it does never connect the phone or even doesn't run the exe in Windows XP, depending on its version.
After reading hundreds and hundreds of posts here and everywhere, I can't get to read any real solution, apart from taking it to the Samsung Official Service.
So PLEASE: could anyone who successfully unbricked an Ace give a real solution? No more time wasters or evidence reminders, be concise and helpful, PLEASE!!
Thank you!

Soft Bricked my phone , Help !

Hello , I accidentally made a mistake by naming a rom "Update" and went into recovery mode and updated it . The phone bricked and stuck at the Samsung Logo . I tried Odin . It's connected to Odin but when I press start , it freezes at SetupConnection..
I tries putting the PDA MD5 file into the PDA and everything , I installed KIES for the driver and ended the program in task manager but it still doesn't let me get pass SetupConnection . I really need to fix it before my parents find out . Oh and I can only access download mode .

Flash some custom rom from recovery first it will be easier........then flash from odin the stock firmware if u want

I forgot to say .... I can't access recovery . When I hold the home button and the power button , it switched on and freezes at the samsung logo . The only thing I can access is the download mode . I want to flash the stock firmware . It keep getting stuck at the setupconnection like I said ...

New update
I downloaded Odin V4.38 Multi-Downloader for GT S5830
I inserted OPS Cooper V1 and I place the Official Firmware MD5 File in the PDA section , After that I start the phone in download mode and connect to Odin and I press start .

What's custom recovery ? , I can't flash CWM either . It was CWM that made my phone bricked

Also I tried flashing CWM with Odin but it also got into blank screen at the reboot part .

Fixed , I used another firmware .

For future reference, here is the link on how to flash stock rom using odin on Samsung Galaxy Ace.
