Thanks

i can't go into recovery or download mode after flashing

Hi,
could anyone help!
my device is galaxy ace s5830i
i have already rooted my device and used CW Recovery and taken a copy of my original system .oki
i wanted to set up a custom rom i restarted and reset and deleted the cash then installed the rom.
i think it was Retribution beta
then i wanted to update to that custom rom (MindCR ICS)
all i did i restarted my phone of course went into R mode and reset and deleted the cash then installed that next custom rom .
after installing completed when i rebooted it only gave me (samsung galaxy ace s5830i) logo and doesn't open the system when i restart it doesn't go into recovery or download mode it only gives me again the same logo.
even when i press long power button it shuts down and opens automatically.
is there any help knowing that i have already taken a copy of my system.

I think you have a hard brick.....
Maybe JIG / JTAG can help.

I have this problem before and i managed to use ODIN3 v1.83 (can use Odin3 v3.07) to detect my phone and flash a stock rom onto the device. I followed the advice given on this excellent thread by Supermini.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071970
As mentioned on his thread make sure you have the latest stock firmware from the sammobile site or by using Check Fus Downloader as per the guide in Rafael thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551156, a working samsung USB driver to detect your mobile on your PC and a copy of ODIN3 v1.83 (or v1.84, v1.87, v3.07 run ODIN in administrator mode if using in windows). Ultimately if this this fails you could always try a USB jig which can be purchased from ebay, etc. to get the phone into download mode.
Good luck and if this helps make sure you send a thank you to Supermini.

thanks and sorry for late but as i told you i cant go into rev or download mode i tried to use odin 1.8 and the latest version but it doesn't recognize my phone shall i lose hope!
bro i think u most probably bricked ur phone but dont worry try opening download mode. then using the odin u install ur stock rom. Then u can access ur r mode. but try to read the entire procedure..of flashing the rom.

So . . . last thing to rescue your phone is buy on e-bay or in other place JIG if it isn't help you then try in phone service and say you tried install new ROM with Kies and your phone is brick (maybe it'll work).
Say to Service Centre Representatives that you kept your at charging last night
And when you woke up
It was not booting up
Pretend as if you dunno anything about root or ROM
They fixed my bricked phone
I am not sure if I am breaking any forum rule by telling this
Hey bro sorry for the late reply also, please before you do anything else try following my instructions.
1) download Odin v3.07
2) source the stock firmware you want to flash from sammobile.
3) make sure you have the Samsung mobile driver.
4) open and run Odin as administrator and load the single file in the PDA and highlight the tick box.
5) shut the phone down and take out your Sim card.
6) put the mobile into download mode as normal (press both up/down vol keys +power)
7) connect the phone to the PC and check in Odin to make sure its com port is detected.
8) then flash through Odin as normal.
I understand what your saying about no download screen appearing, I have found through experience that custom kernels can cause no download screen to appear. Normally with stock kernel this is not a problem but with custom kernels sometimes all you get is a black screen. Ignore this and just make sure that Odin is detecting the phone and try to flash, chances are it will flash the stock ROM and kernel. If you get the setup connection error in Odin and the fail 0\1 just try another USB port on your PC and keep persevering.
Please keep us updated so we can help you if you need it.

Why will it be hardbricked if the custom roms are based on s5830i stock roms?
But it is probable that we did I not flash the rom properly as per procedure..so is there a chance that it be bricked? Else the rom may have some problem... just telling the probability

Please give some more details what you exactly did and what Rom you use and how you rooted it.
"somehow i manage to get it rooted n working again" isn't precise.
First of all you should check if you can boot into recovery or into download mode. In download mode you should connect the device to your PC and check with Odin if it is recognized. I take for sure that you connected the Note successfully before with your PC (and you have drivers installed).

yes, nw i can boot into recovery n download mode. yes, in download mode odin can detect my phone, but not kies, it says device cannot be detected.
tis was wat happen...i was on stock rom, then i try to root my note using cwm.zip n superSU-v0.87.zip. after running in cwm recovery i run superSU then i assume tat after doing the steps i should wipe my data n reboot my phone my phone. i was wrong, my phone got brick. then i try to restore it bk to stock, so i dl odin n the stock rom, but it dint work. then i came by a thread on the forum on how to get the phone bk to life by using some pit files, so i tried. after running the pit files, then i run odin n try to restore bk to stock. my phone came bk to life but stuck on the logo page, so i ran cwm again n rooted my phone. but nw my phone has a bit of problem, it does not connect to kies thru usb, it turns off by itself after a while if i leave it for abt 20mins, i cant turn on my bluetooth. ps help. thks.
After using a repetition pit, the phone will freeze on large roms. Best bet is to install a slim rom and test out.

bricked....

Hi so I was trying to use CF to root my phone and ended up screwing it somehow and bricked. I thought I'd followed the instructions well enough but I obviously did something wrong. Now my phone is stuck saying it needs to recover with Kies. This is my first Samsung phone but I'm not new to Android.
I tried installing the stock firmware through ODIN but everytime I flash it gets to installing the system ext4 and fails. I also wasn't able to recover using Kies(not even sure how you use it tbh).
If anyone could help me it would be mucho appreciated. I'm pretty pissed at myself right now.

Your phone is NOT bricked. If it was the screen would not even go on.
Have you tried going into recovery mode (VolumeUP/VolDown/PowerButton)
and once in Recovery Mode do a factory reset or Data Reset forgot what the
exact wording is in the stock recovery.
If you flashed twrp recovery it's ok too, just select "factory reset".
After doing that the phone should no longer display anything about Kies.
If you get to the twrp recovery screen you should be able to flash a stock
rooted rom without any issues.
If all you get is the stock recovery screen then you should be able to odin
flash the official Samsung Note 4 kitkat 4.4.4 NJ7 firmware which you may
need to download the firmware from http://SamMobile.com if you don't
already have it. (be sure you have the correct firmware for the Note 4 N910T).
Be 100% sure that the phone is FULLY POWERED DOWN before going
into Download Mode to avoid odin errors and issues.
Good luck!
Thanks man. I had tried Odin at my office and nothing doing.
Got home took my time and was real calm about things and voila. May have been an md5 issue with the firmware file. Just relieved I didn't have to RMA it.

Can you check for the file with md5 before you flash from your phone? I forgot where to dig for this info.
All I I have done before is on my cook rom file, I just open it with WinRAR and test for error. If no error, then its good.
On my Home PC I have a program that will put a check mark next to a file if it matches the md5. I also have Winrar at home.
I was just using the default Windows zip program and I have had problems with that and installers/roms in the past.
The only other things I did different were I removed the SD card and installed the drivers before plugging my phone in instead of letting Windows download them automatically.
I also removed the battery after I left work so it was out of the phone for a couple of hours.
The final thing I did was calm down lol after the initial shock of seeing a softbricked screen on my brand new phone.
I'm all rooted now with TWRP and running Hyperdrive so it's all smooth sailing from this point forward.
You should check md5 on phone once you done transferred to phone from PC
BAD ASS NOTE 4

Note5 Softbrick Issue

Hi,
My Note5 N920C is currently softbricked. It occurred during the rooting process, where Odin crashed as i was flashing a kernel and rendered my phone virtually useless. When the phone turns on, it goes immediately to a blue screen with a message telling me to use the "Emergency Recovery feature on Smart Switch." Smart Switch when ran on my PC would not recognise the phone, so that option is out of the question.
The phone from this screen can be put into the TWRP recovery mode too, but as the Note5 has no MicroSD slot, this is not that useful. It can also enter download mode, which is where i think the solution could lie. Would i be able to flash onto the phone using Odin and the download mode, or would that not work/make things worse?
Any ideas welcome,
Cheers,
James

Enter Download mode and flash your official variant firmware. Since this is result of an Odin crash it MUST be a full official firmware so you can be sure all your partitions are correctly flashed, bl,sbl,cp, etc...

That's great news! If you want to root again i recommend flashing supersu in odin (to allow boot of Twrp) then Twrp in Odin, Reboot Twrp then BACKUP, then do your wipes and flash Rom of choice (please already have downloaded it to internal storage! Lol) according to the rom devs Instructions...

I Hi am wondering if you could help with my Galaxy Note 8
I am able to install the firmware using ODIN without any errors on download mode but after ODIN is finished the phone turns off and does not boot.
I have taken the phone to a repair shop as well and they have confirmed that there is no hardware issues,
My model number is SM-950F , basically stuck on download mode
No luck turning the phone on recovery mode only can use download mode and i have tried the same files with the Nand erase all, the same thing .. Odin installs all the files without any errors but does not boot up after installation is finished.
The service shop said they checked components on the motherboard and there is no damage or no IC has been damaged.
What do you suggest i do next?
