Bricked or Boot loop - help needed

Hi people!
I got bricked my galaxy mini gt-s5570, but not totaly (that means I can still use the download mode, and RAMDUMP ARM9 mode) but I can't power up the phone. That happened after I used ODIN for gt-s5570 and changed the Kernel (I forgot to make backup before), and device was working well with the new kernel, but after it I use the same step in ODIN to get back to the old one. So the result is, when I'm pushing the power key the screen starts to blinks and nothing more! But as I say download mode, and ARM9 mode are still working. Any solution for this?

just download the new firmware from samfirmware.com n flash it thru odin as u can go to download mode..n ur phone will be back to life again..
i accidently pressed thanks on ur first post

I can't, I don't have access to recovery mode, it doesn't work!

I mean even when I flash an official rom with Odin, I still have the same problem, I am trying this since three days now and noway...

i think you tried to upgrade firmware not boot whenever you upgrade firmware it cant be downgrade it can just be more upgraded when you downgrade your firmware it will not boot up it will just show a black screen so just reinstall the firmware again and do not try to downgrade it

[Q] No boot, no samsung logo, no download mode

Ok i put my device into download mode with picture then flashed my i9000 with http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1160580
i now know this was the wrong FW for my device since then i cannot boot my phone normally nor get into download mode with the picture
it works fine just if i pull battery or turn off the phone
all i get is a black screen with "home & back buttons lit up"
however when i attach my device to odine it recognizes the phone first time
i dont have to do anything, i've tried flashing stock FW
same result black screen buttons lit up no DL mode with pic no boot
i've tried flashing FW with sbl success odine tells me,
no luck again, also when i try to flash 3 files
it always hangs then fails on modem, however if i flash allinone it works
but only boots with odine & not on its own & without samsung boot image
i can flash modem on its own via psa tab with success, i've also tried the jig to get into normal DL mode, but to no avail
also when i plug usb cable in & take out battery phone turns off
its like the usb is not a power source, ive tried on my laptop, ac adapter & pc all same result
to summerise:
i can flash my phone however if i turn off device i it will not boot
on its own & have to reflash via odine but with no boot logo only sounds
im thinking the only solution is samsung service centre but i can hazard a guess the price of a new mobo will prob be the same as the phone its self secondhand on ebay
any ideas? thanks
P.S when i flash 2 or more files i use pit 512, what if i didnt use a pit or used a different one would it make a difference?
P.P.S kies does recognize device once its flashed but cant find any updates on FW
would doing an emergency restore with an .sbu file fix this boot issue?
& where could i get an .sbu file from as i didnt do a backup

Did you also check “repartition“ in odin when you flash with the pit file?

It sounds like you've toasted the bootloader flashing a wrong firmware. But since you can get Odin connected and flash you might be able to recover.
You'll need to flash a stock firmware with bootloaders, Darky RE should have bootloaders. Follow the instructions on the page.
Good luck

In fact if you can't go into DL mode you can use a thing called JIG repair.
you'll need a 300K resistor (which exactly 301K) and a micro-USB plug.

It works for me!

Unbrickable mod will fix it.

What ansonscleung linked to is a Jig, Jtag is something completely different all together. If Odin won't recover your phone, I can't guarantee the jig will work. Although it will help getting to download mode and maybe help flashing the proper firmware.

If you can boot into recovery "home + vol up + power", wipe data, and cache and reboot. Might fix it

does anyone have a basic .sbu file with no data on that i could use with kies?
would it work?

You're correct, guy. A JIG cost about HK$15.5 ($15 for a Micro USB port and $0.5 resistor) (approx. US$1.99 €1.5 not incl. transportation fee) or spend US$8 here.
Hope you can pass through those stuff and enjoy back your phone!

Do you get the Galaxy S logo when the phone is turned on? If you do then your bootloaders are now OK and you can boot into recovery and flash a CWM ROM.

i've researched that method, i know little about soldering
and asked in a phone shop & they knew nothing about it
so i wouldn't attempt it as i would probably screw it up

Ya I flased the 9003 firmware instead of i9000 firmware with the help of odin3 v1.8 and on screen it displayed installation failed .After that I took out the phone battery and to my astonishment the phone became dead(no recovery or download mode enabled by three combo buttons).The phone is neither charging nor being detected by computer.Is there any solution.Waiting earnestly for your reply.

Have u tried the repair option on kies that could help if not you could try putting the xxjvu pit file on Odin connect our phone minus battery to our PC hold 3 button combo for download mode an then put our battery back in see if that helps Odin to recognise our phone if you get the yellow box flash the pit an u should be able to sort it from there hope u get it sorted if not u will probably need a jig to sort it there on eBay for 99p good luck

GT-S5830V Won't enter download mode

It goes into Recovery mode ok but no download mode.
Power + vol down (or vol down + vol up) + home makes it loope the galaxy screen once then it just loads the built in rom.
After I first bought it I could get it into download mode. But after rooting her so many times she refuses to play ball.
I have tried unrooting it and uninstalling busybox / CWM etc but don't know what else to try.
is there anyway of resetting the "bios" of the phone to default or something?
I tried restoring the stock build.prop.
Dunno what else to do.
Any advice much appreciated.
Regards.

did u tried entering download mode through terminal?
in the terminal :
su
reboot download
and u ll be in download mode n if this doesnt work then try flashing new rom

He can't get into download or recovery because 5830v is an Aussie version with secure kernel. He needs a USB Jig to get his phone into download mode. However he can root the device by enabling USB debugging and installing the latest drivers and then running an exploit like Moto-Chopper (same as I have done). Then I'd advise using Galaxy Toolbox to unlock the device and backup the EFS. Then I would generate the PIT file and use EFS to do all full image backups of the device. I would buy/make a USB jig and then flash a custom recovery. Then flash new kernel. Then after all of that you may now flash a new ROM. Avoid Odin where ever possible. The 5830v is NOT the same as the 5830i. The i can handle software from the v but not visa versa.
Take that as a word of warning.
Edit: I posted in this thread because there is very little information of XDA about the Galaxy Ace GT-5830v

Hey Jarmezrocks!
I have an Australian Samsung galaxy ace gt s5830V. I am finding incredibly hard to find any info on how to fix the bootloop on my screen. As per your advice I have purchased a usb jig ( to get my phone into dl mode). But as my phone is not rooted and I have never put any upgrades or roms on it I'm a bit puzzled as to why it has done this and how to fix it. In your post you say not to use Odin. Why is that and what can I do instead?
Your help would be greatly appreciated because all the info on here is mainly directed at s5830i.
Thanks

Avoid Odin trying to flash a custom ROM, use it only when you need to. Flashing a more insecure kernel that enables download mode without the use of the USB jig in other words.
For you it maybe as simple as booting into recovery mode and simply doing a factory data reset? That should wipe any data that maybe stopping the device from booting correctly? After factory reset you should be able to flash a custom recovery zip from the factory recovery? I can re-upload what I used that was successful with the S5830V if you are stuck?

Hard Bricked my Note 5 :)

Hi all,
I was running Custom ROM on my Galaxy Note 5. (Minosauras ROM v10)
Suddenly today morning the display was garbled with coffee stain pixels and while tried powering on I also had vertical glitch.
No recovery , no download mode
I tried connected to ODIN. I could do it.
Downloaded Stock firmware and flashed it.
Alas ! No chance of life.
a) can anyone give me PIT file for Indian version 32GB.
I tried using N920G UUB and ZTO pit file.
Now I have problems flashing system.img which clearly means I have been using the wrong pit file.
Can anyone support me out of this hard brick ?

Don't worry about flashing stock just re flash your twrp recovery and then go from there.

No recovery ; No download mode.
Can connect to ODIN on a blank screen. Very hard brick !
With TWRP --> Black Screen with recovery enabled. No touch or whatsoever due to blank screen.
Need the pit file for Indian N920G Marshmallow ROM.

What does 'No recovery; no download mode' even mean? Pit file doesn't fix the bricked phone but correct the pit(csc) mapping. Do you exactly know how to get into download mode though? If your display has been damaged, it still can get into download mode by the correct button combination.

Hi , The problem is the display is garbled and the LED was showing various colors.
I tried recovery button combination to force into recovery. It didnt work.
I tried download mode (No download symbol)
But got a attachment to ODIN (COM 1: Blue)
I assumed that the bootloader is corrupt and loaded entire firmware through ODIN.
Everything was OK. But no display yet.
I tried starting using power button (Nothing on display)
Now I try PIT file.... System.img failed flashing.
Tried loading TWRP recovery; adb found 2 devices a) Device b) Recovery
Tried using Heimdall.
Now ODIN fails after using pit file once which failed.
Mine gets detected in ODIN and that is all the life it has.

If you used an incorrect PIT file when you really didn't need to then you probably corrupted your entire partition table..

Yeah I understood that.
Now I need the correct pit file for my ROM to repartition it.
Should I repartition through dd tool only ?
Anyhow since my patience went away, I threw it down a service center.
Service center called me up and said display is back, but couldnt restore my note.
Calls for mother board change ! So I got it thrown back to me !!
It seems now my display is back , can anyone help me in getting my note repartitioned ?
