Hey, thx for reply, problem seems to be on full internal memory, i cant uninstal before it reboot.
Cant either install anything it seems, neither twrp or cwm recovery, it pases in Odin but nothing comes up when press key combo for recovery. Is it posible to make backup when phone is in download mode?
ROM is stock 4,1,2

Try updating to latest firmware from Samsung kies or download from sammobile & flash with odin, can't do Backup in download mode, enable advanced reboot in developer options in settings & enter twrp recovery by holding power button

When phone switched off:
Home Button + Power - open recovery
Wipe Data and Cache, reboot
You could try Recovery mode and wipe.

Your might want to try PWR + HOME to get into Recovery Mode screen, then Wipe Data (Factory Reset), when done remove battery, wait 10 sec., then insert battery and boot normally... has worked for me on the orphaned S5830D SGAce w/ DTLKI4 f/w. BUT, be aware, all user settings and installed apps are vaporized !!! Stuff on /SDCARD is safe.
Cheers,
help please

One package? Aren't you supposed to use the one with the 5 different files and not just one? To make a completely clean stock rom install, I mean. If that's what you want.
I think he(or she) want a stock rom only. You need to do a full wipe after flash with odin. Maybe touch recovery helps you, but i cant find any . You can go to download mode by "adb reboot download" , i think it cant success without wipe.
Or maybe try to flash a rom with 5 files as SuperAce609 said.
No. You can't flash 2.3.6 directly.
You need to flash 2.3.3 first , then 2.3.4 and last 2.3.6 using Odin.

@OP
just go to recovery > factory reset(wipe data)
and then reboot......Ur done
so simple.....
lol. u guys didnt even try to understand what his problem in the first place. atleast read the first post properly before giving suggestions.
the poor guy had his vol up and down button broke, and u suggest him to wipe data in recovery.
thing is his vol up and downn button doesnt work! so how can he navigate in recovery? lol
btw op, u said that u flashed onepackagee file via odin. so how did u manage to go into download mode in the first place when your vol down button is busted?
if u managed to go into download mode again, this time flash the full package instead.

My phone was running 2.2.1 Froyo. I tried to upgrade it to 2.3.6 using process mentioned here. http://androidadvices.com/update-gal...wktm-firmware/
The Odin completed successfully and restarted the phone. But the phone was running spanish language. I was getting an alert after every 3-4 seconds. But i could not read it as it was spanish. I restarted the phone and it went in boot loop. The phone keeps rebooting every 2 seconds.
I can't get into recovery mode but I can get to download mode.
I have tried flashing many ROMs from sammobile.com but none of them is working.

flash gingerbread via odin.
then install cwm recovery 4
then install cwm 5
wipe data and cache before and after flashin a new rom of ur choice...
Lol. I faced this problem long time back. Do this-
Flash stock Rom with help of Odin.
After it tells pass, you ll boot loop. Its normal.
Remove usb.
Remove battery and put it back while its boot looping.
Go to "Stock Recovery" and then clear user data and cache.
Reboot and wait. Might take around 1min-5min max. Good luck.

I was trying to install 2.3.6 DDKQ6. The Odin process finished successfully and restarted the phone. But now the phone is in a boot loop. It keeps getting restarted after 2 seconds. I can't get to recovery mode.

Please, anyone has a solution to this problem?

Make sure the rom is in your region. Dont install a rom from another country. Try get to recovery mode with button combination. Search for more tutorials.

As long as ur phone is bootlooping, it can enter in stock recovery. So, take out battery, re-insert it, goto STOCK recovery & do "wipe data/factory reset" & wipe cache. It worked for me & for most of us too!!

I have tried the recovery button combination a lot of times. I believe recovery comes after the logo screen? But my phone keeps rebooting before even showing the logo screen.
Before flashing 2.3.6 DDKQ6, which firmware/rom u were using??

I think
first comes the Samsung logo (no matter which ROM u have installed).
then comes your device logo (varies with the kernel installed).
then boot-screen.
If you press home+power button u will enter into the stock recovery console(if cwm or other recovery is not installed).
And if you don't press the home+power button then you will boot normally.
Be on the safe side
Press home+power button until u see the recovery console.
Most of the boot-loops can be solved by wiping up cache and factory reset.
Hope this will solve your problem.
Edit:
Try some after market ROMs they are way more fast and efficient than stock Samsung GB ROM. Try Apocalypse or
Democracy.
Just hold the power button and home button... release it when you see SAMSUNG.. flash the rom again if still you dont get any help...

[Q] S6500D don´t pass of screen "Samsung Galaxy mini 2 GT-S6500D"

I had installed Stockrom CM10.1 and i want back to put a stockrom. In the rush I forgot to do the wipes before going through odin the StockRom.
Since then the phone does not pass the samsung logo and can not go into recovery mode. I tried to send the CWM, also the ".pit" with Odin and I have sent the RescuePDA. In any case get it to boot the phone and put it into recovery mode, although in download mode it is ok.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance.

Is there any way of make wipes with the computer (odin or similar)?
I had the same bug. And, you got ramdump mode, probably in the past, you selected from recovery the option ,,reboot to recovery,,. To fix that, you need to press the same keys , but in a different order. First flash cwm 6.0.3.3 (by thewhisp), then , remove the battery and put it back. After that, press that buttons in that order : home+power+up+down
IMPORTANT: YOU NEED TO PRESS UP+DOWN AT THE SAME TIME, AND IN 1 SECOND. (Till you see the SAMSUNG LOGO)
If now you see ,, clock work mod,, wipe data. If not repeat all steps.
It worked 100% on my s6500d, after several hours of trying.

after flashing stock rom using odin when device restarts remove usb jig and press home and volume plus to go to recovery mode.. then clear cache and dalvik cache .. tis should solve ur problem. tricky part is after completion of odin flash u have to quickly go to recovery using volume and home button once the flash is complete so that when device restarts u can go to recovery direct.
