Now you are a funny one, huh?
Anyways it doesn´t look too good. Seems you´ve crushed the bootloader, which is a very bad idea
Try to take out the accu for about 2 hours.
If still not even a single picture can bee seens, it´s a very bad sign.
- btw. does the loading picture/animation show up when trying to load?
- try starting Handy with download-mode (down)
- try starting Handy with CWM (Mode) (up)
I´d sugguest (re-)flashing a bootloader, but since you reported Odin doesn´t find a device...it still just doesn´t look to good...sorry mate
hi , thank you for replaying , ok in case i crashed the boot louder , do you think if i gave it to sumsong as its still under warranty they will find out ??

What did you try to flash with Odin ? ICS rom, stock ?
No idea about the warranty - theoritically you have no right to flash anything yourself using 3rd party software, but since oficial Kies uses similar methods, if you tried to flash stock ROM they might not find out.
But first, try the method proposed by DJ-Tumor, press volume down+home+power and see if it turns on into download mode.
He already said he can't boot into download mode.
(Now you are a funny one, huh?) May be Tumor really got a tumor in his brain.
You'll have to get a Jig and try to boot with it.
thank you for your replay , I tried usb jig and it's not working .. when i tried to change the system it was an official one wasn't custom .

thank you for replaying , I have tried to get into the download mode but the phone Doesn't turn on do you think if i crashed the boot loader , can i fix it somewhere or that's it i lost the phone ??
maybe you've selected the wrong PIT file.
Is your phone a 16 or a 32gb note ?

Lets hope you haven't hard bricked it like I did. Are you not able to get anything on the screen at all? Does PC Odin show a cable connection when you connect your phone to your PC via data cable?
Not sure what exactly do you mean by phone starting with no visuals. How do you know it's starting up if you can't see anything ?
Anyway, check if you can enter download mode again - power+home+vol.down. Even without screen, after that press volume up to continue - if it works, Odin should detect your phone. If it does, just flash it again. Probably just a bad/unfinished flash.

Or you could try a USB JIG if that doesn't work.

ur phone should boot into download mode,
use odin to get a new firmware

Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Expected to see: "I used rom manager and it bricked"
You can try removing battery and going download mode, a USB jig and adb, as posted by another user there is a .jar called oneclickunbrick- its legitimate but I don't know if it works for your problem

[Q] BootLoop Problem PLEASE HELP! D:

Hey guys, ok so im superrrrrrrr new to this. Iv had an iphone and blackberrry half of my life and im just getting into the android world.
Point of the matter,
i have a galaxy ace, s5830m
just bought it a couple days ago here in venezuela
and everyting was running smooth, i really liked everything
since i sort of know about jailbreaking and all that stuff from having an iphone
i started reading up on how androids worked and managed to root my phone with out a problom
being that im a custom fanatic, i figured i wanted to update my gingerbread os to a ics using a custom rom from
cm9
this is what i did...
I downloaded the zip cm9 file,
loaded it into my sd card
went into recovery mode
and clicked update from sd card (totally forgot to clear cache and wipe/factory reset) as it was stated in the guide i was reading..
Anywhoo.. The instalation of the rom went fine, it said it installed correctly and with no errors
so i rebooted the phone, afterwards as it stated on the guide and boom!
Bootloop...
the phone is stuck on the samsung galaxy ace s5280m screen and wont finish booting up
iv left it like that for more then 30mins and nothing! Iv done several batter pulls and reboots and nothing
i went into recover mode and tried clearing cache and doing the wipe and rebooting again
but nothing! Its still stuck in the loop!
I did some reading and figured id load a stock firmware using odin hoping this would fix the problom
so i downloaded the latest one from my country from sammobile
downloaded the drivers
the cooper_v1.0 file
downloaded odin v4.38
did everything as the guide said but now odin isnt wanting to work,
i opened it as a administrator, i loaded the cooper file,
but when i want to load the single tar.md5 file..(the firmware)
it totally crashes on me, iv tried several times and it always crashes at the same point
iv tried on 3 diffrent computers and iv tried diffrent odim versoins and it always crashes at the same place!
This is when i started to worry, so i downlaoded samsung kies, to see if i can do a firmware update from there thinking itd be more reliable but now my computer doesnt want to reconize my phone
i can enter both download mode and recover mode having only the clear cache/factoryreset/and reboot options available.. Im really freakeddd out being that i just got this phone, and i feel pretty stupid i should have never done anything to the phone...but if anyone could help id really apreciate it!
Im desperate and i dont want to take it anywhere, cause im in venezuela at the moment
and i dont want to end up paying another dude a bunch of money to fix something that cud be fixed with some easy steps.
So any help is great!
I think that:
The s5830M is the same as s5830i
The s5830M is NOT the same as s5830
That might be your problem. I may be wrong but it's worth looking up.
If I'm right you will need to change Cooper file for correct one for your device. Also correct ROM too!
If I'm wrong, then, sorry.
Search more before you take any action. If you can get into download mode it can usually be fixed the way you are doing it but with correct files.
hmm

Ok i can look that up,
i kind have the same feeling,
being that the models are always divided as such..
So your saying (if this is right)
i need to find the Cooper File for s5830i
AND the ROM
and Odin should work after that?
The thing thats worrying me, is that all odin is doing is crashing on me,
but im going to look for another cooper file
being that the rom is especifcally for s5830M already
thanks for your fast response
im going to try this and get back to you...cause i really want my phone back D:
You need odin 1.85 i think, not sure.
And yes, 5830i and 5830m are compatible, but roms for 5830 and 5830L can brick your device.
ok

ok so i did some investigation
after you told me about the models not being the same and ur right
i and m models are the same
and they only work with odin 1.85 as yu just said
and supposedly
only full package roms work not one package roms
and as i kepted reading in a spanish form,
there arent any ICS custom mods availbale for the M series
the only roms they run are the original stock roms.
so i guess i can forget trying to load a custom ICS rom into it
if this all works as the spanish forum explained
ill get back and confirm everything
ok so i have everything ready now,
but now my pc doesnt want to read my phone wile its on download mode
it will only read wile its on boot loop mode
and the only thing that happens on odin
is that it says ADDED!! (wile on boot loop mode)
but it never says my phone is reconized like its suppose to..
and when i click start.. nothing happens..
anyway to get my pc to reconize my phone on download mode?
or am i doing something wrong?
Maybe ask on the 5830i general thread?
I don't have the same phone as you so I don't really know what too suggest besides asking other people with the same phone as you.

I had this problem like 5 months ago
OK read this and follow the exact guide im doing it personally so that you dont have to search! kk
(for getting your phone working)
1.install the phone drivers from the website ( it might show on the com port thingy then )
2. flash only a gingerbread rom or froyo rom because the ICS rom is locked with a bootloader and will cause the lg logo thing all over again if you flash
3.From this link download the gingerbread rom( download the V20A from venezuela )( http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1 )then use the rom convertor ( go to this link for the guide on how to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144577 )
4. if it works, all you have to do is put a rom on your sd and go on with your life
( PS I suggest you try HUEXXX's IZS ROM or Marvel V9 as they both are really stable and works really well)
as for other roms

possible but not safe!
causes permanent brick if not done well ( i think )
your not detecting problems could be anything!
try reinstalling the drivers all over again
or try another computer!
and also the USB CABLE you are using should be lg ones
and if any lg ones dont work use your OB CABLE!!
REPLY ASAP WITH RESULTS

Tried reinstalling drivers about 20 times;
Tried on another computer still the same;
Tried other (not LG) cable still the same
Today I was at local service center, they said that they cant fix it, so they sent my phone to a better service and they have some kind of box mobile phone fixing tool. Looking forward, that costs 10 to 15 euros. hopefully they fix it.
