[Q] Galaxy Ace stuck in reboot loop

My Galaxy Ace is stuck in a reboot loop after trying to flash 2.3.6 onto it, when it had 2.3.5 on it previously.
I've used ODIN and no matter what firmware I try to flash onto it, it just goes into a reboot loop.
Any idea how to fix it?

Did you try to do a wipe?

press down home button and then power on phone ...--> you will enter into recovery mode .
select wipe with help of volume keys and there you go out of bootloop

My Galaxy Ace is also in some sorta reboot loop.
Everything was working fine with it (phone is rooted and CWM installed) until I did a phone reset because I was giving the phone to my gf. After doing this the phone reboots, the blue samsung logo plays (without sound) and then repeats ad-infinitum. I can get into recovery mode and download mode ok and I've tried wipe and even restored a CWM backup (it says it was successful) but the phone just keeps rebooting. I can see the phone in odin but I've never tried to flash anything onto it and quite frankly I'm unsure whether it would just make things worse (if it needs to go back to Samsung for repair). Any help would be appreciated...

If you have cwm ..why dont you download some custom rom like cm7and flash it ..that would bring your phone back to life ...then you can downgrade to stock rom if you want ...and btw in cwm try cache partition , clear data /factory reset and clear dalvik cache ..see if it boots after you do this ..

when i always flash by odin or by cwm i always do wipe , wipe cache and wipe dalvik, this helps me everytime

I managed to flash a firmware from samfirmware and it fixed the reboot.
Now my issue is when I connect to Kies, it says there's an updated firmware for the phone but it fails every attempt to install it. I went back to samfirmware and found this firmware: S5830ZSKPD ## but when I download and extract it there's only 1 x MD5 file and 1 x DLL file?! The other firmware had the 4 or 5 files needed to include in Odin... any ideas guys?

I think its a "one package file " ..I forgot the correct name but there is some option like that in odin ..dont worry it contains all the required files ..and if you are scared to do it then go to you tube ..there are many tutorials showing it then...

Yep, that's exactly what it was, thanks again.
Unfortunately with this firmware, Kies doesn't recognise it and provides no info.
I flashed back to the older firmware... I'll just have to keep experimenting I guess.

many people says, don't upgrade the firmware with KIES.

Well I could flash it with Odin if I had the firmware but I don't.
It appears it's not available on SamFirmware.com
Do you know where I can download the following firmware?
PDA:KPD / PHONE:KPD / CSC:KPC (THL)
Thanks

Lol I cant understand those firmwares ..can you tell me which version of android you want like 2.3.4/2.3.5/2.3.6 ...then ill be able to help you wanr

Thanks anyway but I managed to find the firmware online and flashed it using Odin.
Now Kies says I'm using the latest which is a good start : )
Now I just need to find a way to root my SGS2 GT-I9100T

U can try a custom ROM from the Developer's forums here.
I also once stucked in the Reboot Loop..............
But then I installed a custom or if you want features from a official Rom, you can install Stock Based custom ROm from the Developer forums of Galaxy Ace. Really good Rom have been made by the developers

In the chance that someone else is looking for this latest OEM firmware update:
PDA:KPD / PHONE:KPD / CSC:KPC (THL)
It can be downloaded from: http://translate.googleusercontent....flgljh&usg=ALkJrhiMpHV83dugh4RGwhKpyjIrYIgn2Q
It is in "one part file" format and can be flashed using Odin.

whatever may be the problem ......just rem to keep a backup of ur previously used rom and just flash it with cwm...

Progress?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Mini Pop Plus unbrick

Sirs, i'm in a tragic situation. Pls help...
I rooted my galaxy mini pop plus (s5570i with gingerbread 2.3.6) and installed clockworkmod and i successfully did complete nandroid backup. Later unknowingly i installed rzRecovery. After that my phone does not boot. It stucks at samsung android logo. I am able to enter into cwm but when i try restore my backup it says error mounting /system. Is my phone bricked? Is there any solution? Kindly help
note:
1. Odin4.3 does not detect my phone,BUT odin3 does
2. The cwm i used is not permanant. when i press vol.up+home+power it always go to stock recovery. then i have to update the file samsung_pop_plus_cwm.zip

Try to flash cwm through odin and not through recovery. I think it could be a problem if stock recovery tries to replace itself with another recovery.img WHILE ALREADY USING THIS FILE

if i try with odin it shows FAIL; another version stucks at 'Nand writing started'. Another thing when i enter into download mode there is a heading 'ODIN MODE' in red color at the top of the window. And the logo is a green android shape. is it normal??? is it the default state???

First mistake you do, is flashing a recovery that doesn't work for you device.
Second mistake is you don't read instruction really well.
So, send it to SSC (Samsung Service Center), don't act suspicious or they'll know you root your phone.

[Q]Bootloop & No recovery Mode

Hello everyone ! I have a samsung galaxy s3 mini i8190
I flash CM , but i didn't like it so i tried to install with odin the original firmware.
Problem: Bootloop (logo Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini reboot infinite loop)
I can't enter in Recovery Mode, only i can enter in Download Mode
I use ODIN to try to install CWM , but still don't work..
And i have another problem. When I click start (in odin) it stops at SetupConnection, but if I disconnect & reconnect (usb) it starts flashing.
Please, help me.

Try to flash stock recovery instead of CWM.

"I use ODIN to try to install CWM , but still don't work.."
I said this in the thread. If i'm wrong, please correct me.

Your kernel is f****ed up. You need to find any rooted stock kernel, flash it with Odin and then flash CWM. You don't need whole ROM, only kernel. Happened to me a lot while I was still on SGS1.
As for connection problem, perhaps clearing all drivers from your win and reinstall them could help.

Yes you did, but I asked you to try with STOCK RECOVERY instead.
It's not always a part of the official firmware package.

Download service firmware and solve all your problems
Then just flash whatever rom you'd like.

What if my device cant be recognised by my pc. Ive tried every pc/laptop I own with different OS. So basically I have a bootloop stuck phone with no recovery mode available and it doesnt connect to the pc. Is there any way to fix that? Or is the phone completely bricked and I cant do anything about it.
PS: I have tried installing latest samsung drivers on my pc but it still cant recognise the phone.
Have had this phone for 6 years and it was ****ing amazing. I missed this little guy and want to fix him just as a "souvenir" since it was my first ever smartphone.

(GT-I8180L) Galaxy s3 mini stuck on bootloop

well here is the deal... a friend gave me an s3 mini that is ituck on a bootloop ... i tried ALMOST EVERYTHING...
- i flashed ALL POSIBLE STOCK ROM for the operator for this device.. idk what baseband or compilation number is (obviously because i idk because the booloop lol) but here in my country the operator is "personal" and there is 1 only baseband and comp num. for that company on that model (GT-8190L).
- i tryed to enter the recovery mode.. but it doesnt letme... i finded that in this model you have to .. or unlock the button conbination or istall a custom recovery... NONE OF THEM WORKED...still cant enter the recovery manually. when i try to go to the recovery it gets stuck on the model logo...
- every time i flashed w/ odin it finish perfectly ...but i noticed that when it boots.. it get to the company logo and then the samsung logo ... more likely if i didnt flashed it... i iven downgraded the phone to 4.0.1 with the hope to get it to work. my friend didnt care to mutch if the phone boots because he allready buyed another one because of this problem... i really got very frustrated i just want to win this battle
sintomes..:
flash w stock rom ... keeps looping.. and it looks like i never flashed it..
cant acces the recovery .. (stock or custom.. same situation w below sintom).
im very sorry about my poor english skills u.u regards.

Are you flashing the wipe.zip file before flashing the stock rom with odin? I manage to solve the bootloop using that flasheable wipe file and then flashing the stock rom, all through Odin.

Try fashing a file called PARAM, look for it on the web and make sure is the proper one for the L model, after that flash the wipe file and last flash the stock rom. All that using Odin with your phone in download mode. That's how I solved a soft brick in my phone. Make sure the param file and the stock rom you are using are for the L version, don't use any other.

i tried it, i managed to fins theproper param file for the L model .. flashed w that file, flashed w wipe file and then the stock ... nothing new.. i also searched on the web posible causes and some people tried the pit file.. but sadly i can get the odin to re partition. (odin gets me the "repartitioning failed thing.. so it cant continue)

i have the same problem, tried WIPE, PARAM, stock rom, custom rom, the phone is still stuck on the logo.
Should i maybe remove auto-reset from ODIN and try WIPE,PARAM, stock rom one after the other?

Cannot instal STOCK ROM after instlling CM12/13

Hi!
I have installed TWRP and CM13 on my S5 mini (G800F), but i got many bugs and restarts, so i decided to go back to Stock ROM, unfortunatelly i cannot do this.
When i open Odin and try to install STOCK Rom from samsungmobile everything is good, till the and, when i got:
Write finished (filed)
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I tried on laptop and deskop using various USB port but everytime i get the same message.
And when i get the battery out and power on i get:
"firmware upgrade enountered an issue. Please select recoery mode in Kies and try again"
I tried to connet it with Kies in recovery odin mode but Kies does not recogenize it.
Then i need my phone so i decided to move back to CM this time i have installed the CM12, after using it, one day and having many restarst i tried one more to move to STOCK ROM. I downloaded the older verios of STOCK ROM then i had before. But i got the same messege.
Then someone tell mi to make full wipe, so using TWRP i done the full wipe, cache, data, system and internal storage/sd.
After wipeing internal storage i get only:
"firmware upgrade enountered an issue. Please select recoery mode in Kies and try again"
and cannot even install recovery via Odin any more, beacouse i get bugs ;/ ;/ ;/
as a result i cannot even use my phone with CM12/13.
1. Do You have any tips or solution of this problem?
2. How can I instal STOCK ROM or even CM?
3. Can I install the CM via Odin?
4. Do You have any other recovery for S5 mini G800F?

He there, sorry to hear you're having troubles with the phone. I experienced a similar problem and found that this worked:
Try and flash your stock firmware, when it fails, take out battery, put it back in and restart into recovery mode (stock recovery). From there, do a factory reset and wipe (not using Team Win Recovery Project, using the stock Recovery).
Now go back to odin and try flashing again.
Hope this helps...it worked for me.

Do this when error occurs after flashing stock firmware!
1. Flash stock firmware
2. Get error message
3. Remove battery and start in Recovery Mode
4. Flash hidden.img that you can extract of the stock file!
Quote from reddit.com:
If you've tried to flash firmware off of Sammobile, and had your heart stop when the flash fails, fear no longer.
To fix the soft brick:
Open the firmware file in winrar and extract the hidden.img. Rename it as hidden.img.tar.
Load the new file into the PDA tab, and flash.
When the phone boots, the displayed image will be touchwiz teal, there will be a little android and GALAXY spelt above it. Don't freak out.
Give it a minute and it should boot.

Hi, jest i did happend after flashing a stock firmware, but fortunatelly now it work.
How do i manage to fix it? I do not know. I just tried to flash it with a stock firmware one more time, and than tried to flash TWRP recovery via Odin. It get a fail. But the phone got power on, and it works till now !!!!
What was the problem? I have read that if you have the other CSC than XEO and want to flash the ROM with XEO CSC on S5 mini this problem occurs on many phone. Espesially on that from UK, so mine was.
thanks!!
