Bricked? - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I recently found my bricked (?) S5830 and wanted to play around with it.
However, I cannot turn the screen on (it's black even when in recovery mode)what so ever but my computer do recognize it, the weird thing is. I can infact boot it into Recovery boot when it's turned off, but can't boot it into Download mode. I can only boot it to DL mode when im in recovery mode.
I tried odin to flash stock firmware but i only get "SetupConnection" stuck.
Have I lost it?

Hi Lossyx, i'm a little confused by your post?
Can you see the screen flash on, Samsung logo, or battery charge logo when phone off ?
What happened to cause this problem?

Nope, the screen is black (no logo, no charging logo) whatever I do. Still, the phone can be recognized on the computer. And I can feel the battery getting warmer sometimes.
It was 4 years ago I used this phone but I think I flashed something wrong.

I flashed a s5830i rom with odin on my s5830 by mistake. . took a trip to samsung to fix it.
When in cwm recovery do you have adb access? (wait 30secs before you try).
If all else fails download mode is the only thing left, flash stock rom via odin or kies.
For reference when I bricked mine the pc would still "see" it but not in the correct mode
to flash a rom.

I won't send my 4 years old for repair, I'm fine with my 5X.
When I plug in my device Odin recognized it and the ID:COM box shows yellow (as it should) but when I click start Odin stuck on "SetupConnection..."
I haven't tried flashing with kies, will do it later.
Thanks for the reply:good:

not a bad cable is it?
program run with admin privs?

Try
adb reboot
from your PC
Your's is indeed a unique problem coz odin changes everything from radio, kernel, recovery and of course your rom.

[Q][i9001] Phone stuck on screen with displayed PC, Phone and Triangle icons....

Hello, today I tried to change the ROM, unfortunately, after this phone has turned on, and display the icon of the PC, Phone and triangle in the middle. There is possible to go to download mode, but Odin stuck on amss.mbn download....
There is possible to rescue the phone? :/
Try flashing another rom. Don't worry, it's not bricked or anything.

Yes, just flash a 3 file stock rom, and if it Odin gets stuck, try reinstalling the USB drivers, or a different firmware. You really have nothing to be worried about

It happens. Just put the phone in Download mode again and flash again. It happened to my few months back, when flashing a SGS for a colleague of mine.

All gone wrong.

Something really gone wrong for me here and have a feeling I have a brick.
1. Flashed ROCKET ROM-V19-XXLA4 from external sd using CWM.
2. Flash was confirmed rebooted.
3. Got Bootloop (Rocket Logo)
4. Could boot into download mode but PC not seeing device.
5. Removed battery for over 1 min.
6. Still no difference, the device just cant be seen. Even after reinstalling the drivers. via Kies trouble shooting.
Anyone have any ideas??

Did you follow hus advuce to a t.
Did you have a backup
Can yiuget into recovery via vol up.home.power if si restore last working config.
Failing that its odin and stock rom
Its virtually impossible to brick a samsung phone yesvit can occur but v v unlikely

I had the same problem today, but it worked when i did this:
- Volume down + Home + Power
- Do not press continue yet
- Open Odin
- Connect it to the computer
- Choose Continue on the Note
Now the computer should install two new drivers (modem and another one), and then the phone will pop up on the computer.
Odin is seeing :- 0:[COM4]
Thanks so much really thought I'd bricked it. Forgot all about Odin A Beer and a thanks to you both.
Just a note, not sure what went wrong but I had to flash a full stock ROM including the Modem, Code and Multi to get it working again.

[A]Unbrick galaxy note (wrong rom)

Let me give you a tip if you bricked your phone.
I accidentally flashed Checkrom for galaxy s2 into my note.
The phone was bricked, i couldn't get to the recovery mode. Using the volume+power+home key combo only displayed a f*** up screen and then rebooted.
I noticed that if I did this with the phone plugged into the computer, my PCwould actually recognize something being plugged.
What I did:
I ran the already-rooted.bat that came with the rooting toolkit (zergrush)
And thank to god my phone booted (as a Samsung galaxy s2!), well it did not boot at first, it was stuck loading but i could go into recovery mode. After that my phone actually booted as an s2 (all messed up), but I could eventually wipe it clean.
So, if for any reason your phone gets bricked you might want to try this (cause removing battery doesn't do s**t)
I'm glad you solved it. But have to ask how the Fu** did you flash a. Sgs2 rom. Do you not read?

I did the same
I was selling my SGS2 the same day as I received my note. Was bussy rooting and unrooting and moving files from SGS2 to Note. On that time Chekrom for note and SGS2 was both v.4 "do i need to say more" some kernels swits internal and external SD in CWM. and i was using my sd to move files, I lost my IMEI in the proces, I had a struggle getting it back
In my defense, the checkrom rom was labeled XWLA4_CheckromRevo_HD_V6.zip for the s2 and XXLA4_CheckromRevo_NoteHD_V5.zip for the note. I was doing a bunch of stuff and its not like the file names are totally different.
I made a mistake, and I won't be the last to make it. Someone might benefit from my experience.
I have exactly same problem !please tell the toolkit method

Galaxy Note stuck at boot screen after OTA update

Hi, My note is stuck at boot screen after the official OTA update. I tried googling but most seems to pertain to Rooted/flashed phones.
Mine is a new note which has not been rooted at all in the past. I downloaded to OTA update and it has been stuck at the bootscreen for the past few hours.
Any help appreciated!
1. Try pulling out the battery for a few minutes.
2. Boot into recovery mode and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
should i also wipe the data/factory reset in recovery mode?
No. God forbid, then you might end up with a superbrick
Thanks for your help

Unable to enter recovery mode
Hey I got similar problem, my phone gets stuck at Samsung logo screen. I am unable to enter recovery mode. When it shows android update screen after pressing recovery mode combination, my phone restarts.
Is there anyway I can get back normal mode without losing data on phone

Keep them pressed for 3 seconds more then you end up to recovery. They need to be pressed while booting the device from reboot or off state, then you will end up in recovery or download mode.

Yesterday, I received an OTA on my galaxy note and now it is also stuck in boot screen with the breathing samsung logo.
I tried to go into recovery mode using the 3 button combo, but it wouldnt enter into recovery mode. I get the green android logo with wire mesh and the phone reboots.
Can someone help me to boot my phone?
Got mine backup and running after OTA update gave me Samsung logo freeze issue
So after the 7MB OTA stability patch mine too was stuck on samsung logo.
Kies wouldn't recover it and putting into download mode or recovery mode didn't help. I too tried to go into recovery mode using the 3 button combo, but it wouldnt enter into recovery mode. I get the green android logo with wire mesh and the phone reboots but i didn't at the time try for 3 more seconds.
I then used ODIN and applied a downloaded Aussie Gingerbread ROM as i couldn't find Aussie ICS ROM. With my plan to do a Kies/wifi update to ICS. This caused acore and other processes to crash every few seconds. I then did a factory reset which got it stable and then tried to update to ICS but the phone said there were no updates available. Then I applied the international ICS using ODIN so i'm back were i was two days ago before the stupid 7MB patch.
Unfortunately, I don't think i can get anymore OTA updates but after the 7MB one i don't think i want to.
Long story short i think you should be able to go into recovery mode do a factory reset and it should be OK.

ODIN voids warranty?
I have the same issue after receiving 7MB OTA update. I am unable to go into recovery mode(same green robot and wire mesh etc...), so i am going to use ODIN method... but will flashing stock ROM using ODIN void my warranty?? I am not rooted.
Thanks.

Thanks.... but this is my aunt's phone, so rooting is not an option. I use HTC Hero... and we have RUU which we run on the PC and everything is restored to stock.... it removes root if you have it and also runs without root. Is there anything similar for samsung devices?
Also, now I am considering going for warranty repair... didnt want to do that at first as i have a really bad experience with HTC service centers... now lets see what samsung does..!!
Same problem here please find a fix!!

You don't need root to flash stock with PC Odin, and flashing any stock does not affect warranty. To use Odin you need phone in download mode (vol down, home and power until reboot into download)

Just flash it using the same os version you already have installed in my case I had the same problem with this little ota update and I've just flash it with the same ics version that was installed and my phone was back with all my stuff and rooted... once you finish doing the re flash you'll get an on screen message saying "Fail to update try using samsung kies on your computer" or something like that...
Thanks... but I went for warranty repair .. and I got it back in 2 hours..... unfortunately I lost all my data .. even on external partition. Now it is on ICS and still I have a notification for available update ... which I wont do.
Anyone has had success with that update?

Which method did you use to flash it?
Is your battery loaded?
First you need to check if your battery is charged. If you have a friend with s3 mini try to charge your battery in his phone.
If the battery is charged, the phone should boot. The recovery doesn't affect the boot partition. If the phone doesn't boot you probably wrote something not ok in the boot partition. In this case only a JTAG can fix your phone.
When you flash the recovery from Odin the file you want to flash should be in the PDA box. If you put the recovery in the bootloader box, the recovery file will overwrite the bootloader and your phone won't boot any more. Odin doesn't test if the file is ok for that partition. This is called a hardbrick.
If you didn't touch the bootloader partition, the phone should boot and you should be able to get it into download mode at least. I don't think there is anything you can put in the PDA box to make your phone not boot.
Try flash the stock rom again, use odin it should work even if you're phone is off, remember you had to previously installed samsung kies on your pc/laptop so you're computer recognized your phone (that's simply basic)... I've seen the tys0n dude knows a lot too he's helped other guys good luck pal.
