Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 Stuck on boot 'Samsung' logo

I've had a search but can't seem to find anything relating to this problem so to cut a long story short it's goes a bit like this;
1. Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 Stuck on boot 'Samsung' logo
2. It's not rooted on standard stock firmware (I think 2.3 ginger bread but not certain)
3. My mum has just given me the phone saying she was on the Facebook app it force closes and crashes
4. She reboots phone and is now in a constant boot loop hitting the O2 splash screen then the 'Samsung' logo which it never leaves only for it to reboot and do the same thing
5. I can put it into Android System Recovery however but have the following message at the bottom of the screen in yellow text which I don't know what it means;
--Appling Muti-CSC--
Can't access to '/syste,/csc/02u/system'.
6. Before I try a wipe data/factory reset is there anything I can do to try and fix it saving all data?
I just don't understand, she's not very good on the old tech so the phone is very basic so there is no need to worry about her messing with the phone rooting etc... so why has this happened its only 5 months - 6months old.
Any help is appreciated.
I think its a CSC error. Try to flash a new ROM via odin.
Maybe a CSC error. Here in Brazil, you need to flash the Vivo or Claro (operators) ROM first, or any other operator roms (like TIM) will not work, will bootloop. Search this.
before you flash a rom try clearing the cache partition in the recovery menu , its worked for me several times
Download stock rom for your region and flash it via odin...
Thank all for the reply I simply tried the reformat through the recovery menu first and it worked! :laugh:

Galaxy S Problems - Need Help Fast!

Ok so I have been looking around for two days now and have not been able to find an answer to my problem. I've even searched and tried everything on these forums so please don't ask me to google or use the forums search.
I've got a Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M, it was working fine a few days ago and I picked it up to check my messages and it was frozen. After a few minutes I pulled the battery and went to restart the phone.
The phone will now only show the Samsung Galaxy S white logo and simply restart itself and play that logo over and over. If the phone is plugged into the wall it will show the battle charge logo briefly and than restart to the logo. It will go no further than this point.
I have tried to do a factory reset via Home + Power + Vol Up but it seems to reset itself before it will actually load into that menu. Home + Power + Vol Dn will bring me to the download screen which is stable and will not reset the phone.
This is where it gets strange, I have tried Odin and a 100% stock flash on the phone with no luck the phone just sits resetting. After a download of DarkyROM it will actually load the white Galaxy S logo along with the DarkyROM logo and simply go back to resetting.
So the phone is clearly in some state of a working order able to download and accept ROMs but just keeps restarting itself after the white initial Galaxy S logo.
Any and all help would be appreciated! I hope I have explained this problem well enough, maybe it is in need of being brought to a shop to be fixed? Just happens that the warranty expired last week, almost seems coincidental.
Thanks!
After you installed DarkyRom (or any other ROM with CWM), did you try re-entering the recovery menu? Perhaps you will now be able to enter recovery?

No, after the install of the ROM it would load up the white galaxy logo along with the DarkyROM logo and than just go back to resetting itself over and over. I could still go back to to the download but not access the reset menu.

run through My Android Solutions, link below and do the first step after that to immediately to recovery or download mode , than flash a rescue or resurrection kit from My Android collections, link below, all this done without sim card or exts SD card inserted
None of this has worked, I have tried every trick I can find on the net but I can't seem to get it to go.
As before the phone will go into download mode, will accept roms and so on as shown by the DarkyROM logo showing up and going away with the removal of it.
After every attempt I am still not able to get into recovery mode but am still able to access download mode. The phone seems to be in some state of working order but continues to reset itself only when turned on but will run stable in download mode.
ADB doesn't see the device and even if it did I think it would still just reboot once it started into recovery.
It's almost as if the phone starts and after it shows the starting Galaxy S GT I9000 it just turns itself off for some reason
Is their any way to totally reformat the phone and start 100% from scratch without getting into recovery to do factory reset?
Step by step instructions on what to do and download for Odin would be fantastic. I am still not sure 100% on what the PIT/Bootloader/PDA/Phone/CSC are or do so the files I need to put in those and a good explanation would be great!
This happens sometime. To fix, Do this.
1. Boot into download mode.
2. Flash stock ginger bread with Odin using 512 pit.
3. Now boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset.
4. Boot again into download mode.
5. Flash devil or semaphore kernel.
5a note. Your phone doesn't need to be able to boot. All we need is recovery mode.
6. Boot into the new recovery and wipe data/factory reset.
7. Format /system.
8. Flash ROM / gapps etc.
9. Boot with success.
10. Happy dance time, brings good luck.

ok, try flashing a gingerbread Ezboot loader, visit My Android collections, link below, has complete guide at download page
Well I've tried both suggestions with no luck. I am starting to think it's some sort of hardware problem which I can't understand because it is 100% stable and won't reset in download mode. It will accept ROMs and so on but instantly just starts to restart itself after the first logo is shown. No work around will let me into recovery mode and no method I have found so far will just reload how the phone boots. I guess it's time for a new phone eh chaps?

hmm, its strange..anyway, you should remove SIM Card and Ext SD card, and try to use any tool from My Android Collection, to format the Internal SD card and flash a 2e recovery to see , if you can get your recovery back or even a i9000 rescue kit would be good to go after formating your Internal SD card
Formatting you Internal SD card, will resolve any settings, data, delvik cache etc that would be the cause of your initial problem.. there are formatting tools as well a recovery tools that can be used to achieve this
Did u flash the correct stock firmware for ur I9000M? try this http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162558059/7efd7bc/I9000UGKG3_I9000BMCKG3_VMC.zip.html.
Source : http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9000M&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware
Ok progress is being made, first I used Odin to load I9000UGKG3-I9000BMCKG3_VMC in the PDA slot without doing a reboot. Then I loaded JPK_Root_Recovery_2e using just the i9000_Kernel and was able to boot recovery.
After doing a Wipe Cache and then Factory reset the phone went back to a boot loop and I was unable to get back to the recovery menu.
After repeating the first steps I am once again in the recovery mode with no boot loot but am unsure as to where to go from here.
Currently the screen reads
Android system recovery <2e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
-------------------------------------------------
E: Invalid command argument
-- Install from package...
Finding update package...

# Manual Mode #
--Appling Multi-CSC...
Installing Multi-CSC
multicsc : src /system/csc/BMC/system/ .
*EDIT* Seems once you restart from the recovery mode it goes right back to a boot loop, was not able to apply the SD card update either. So getting to recovery is currently a one time deal without having to go back and reload VMC and 2e. Once restarted all is lost.
You will need to flash another firmware with 3 file method @odin. Search on this forum a firmware and flash it!
Don't worry, u can't brick your phone that easily. I flashed my phone 10times in a day, for boot loops, when i tried to upgrade to 4.0.4
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Ok so this time I used Odin to do VMC in the PDA slot, then I9000 Kernel went back to VMC and loaded that then when I restarted the phone it went back to the same boot loop.
I have no way to clear the internal SD or anything like that because the programs will not see my phone connected to my PC.
What could be causing my phone to just continue to restart?

I gave u a source, download the guide on flashing through odin. It should work. Dun flash 1 file by 1 file.
EDIT : u can find more firmwares here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881&page=1
Pm me if you need any help!
Ok so here is where I am at..
I have tried everything everyone has listed so far. The only think that has made any sort of progress at the moment is going into download mode, connecting to the USB after loading Odin. Using JPK_Root_Recovery_2e I9000_Kernel.tar will bring me to the recovery screen.
wipe cache partition + reboot = boot loop
wipe cache partition + wipe data/factory reset + restart = boot loop
wipe data/factory reset + restart = boot loop
Any of the above mentioned plus loading stock firmware results in a boot loop.
Any of the above mentioned plus loading DarkyROM Resurrection 10.2 will again show the Galaxy S I9000 Logo plus the DarkyROM logo and proceed to boot loop.
Clear cache and factory reset than load of i9000XXJVT pit/pda/modem/csc results in boot loop.
If I am missing something please explain in detail and not shunt me off to some other page.
As before I have tried everything mentioned with no luck at getting past this boot loop. Clearly the phone is able to accept roms and so on so the internel SD seems to be ok but the boot sequence seems scrambled. Strange that it will boot to download and boot to recovery with JPK but upon restart it just boot loops and without Odin and JPK I can only get back to download mode.
Seems to me you also have some partition woes. Try to find an older rom (Milky's worked for me) that requires re-partitioning to be done. Flash via ODIN, wait for 10-15 mins for whole process to complete. CWM flash any rom from there ... (Darky's Extreme also repartitions)

Galaxy S1 (i9000) flash fail, bootloop

Ok i got hands on Galaxy S1 (i9000) and wanted pimp it a bit. Rooted it and decided to flash with new rom (MIUI MintBerry Eddition).
I've went to recovery mode, wiped data, calvik cache etc.. and then started installing. Durring instalation i got some error and had to restart phone.
After restart i ended up in not ending bootloop (got samsung logo then glitch kernel v13.1 icon and phone restarts, for brief moment i can see some installer running between those boot animations), it happens every 5-10sec so can't even plug and use odin or sdk...
To make it worse either recovery or download mode don't work... Did i brick this phone? Or there is some rescue for me?
This question has been asked so many times and the replies are always the same everytime. Reflash the Stockfirmware or what ever. Or if u can access the recovery menu u can do a factory reset. In most of the situation u just need to wipe cache and dalvik cache. Around 90% is fixable by just wiping the cache and dalvik.
I already read tons of threads about it but my biggest obstacle is that my phone don't have 3 key thing to do to recovery/download mode. Cant use adb too because phone is on for like 5 sec and then restarts so my laptop cant even detect him on time and cant put reboot recovery command
you may need a USB JIG, you can either buy one or make your own http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604707

URGENT - Need help with S5570

Hey guys
Samsung Galaxy Mini 5570 is a pretty old device now and definitely not worth to talk about, but It's for my aunt and she said i HAVE to fix it otherwise she will kick my butt.
This is the whole story:
Phone was running a very low android version (it was 2.1 or something) that i could barely install apps on it (Just installed WhatsApp), I decided to upgrade it to a higher version so i could install other applications like Line and Telegram for her, so basically i had to flash CWM file first because it was required, I flashed it using this link:
http://www.droidthunder.com/root-install-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery-samsung-galaxy-minipop-gt-s5570/
They said flash the cwm file and factory reset your phone but i flashed the cwm file and rebooted my phone without factory reset, everything was working fine :good: but i decided to follow the instruction so i rebooted into the recovery mode and factory reseted my phone (by my phone i mean her phone, but i'm gonna say my phone instead) and guess what, it never booted up again. stuck on Samsung logo.
But i could go into the download and recovery mode, so basically i followed this instruction:
http://www.droidthunder.com/update-samsung-galaxy-minipop-gt-s5570-android-4-2-1-cyanogenmod-10-1/
which is from the same guy, I flashed it using recovery mode and flashed gapps too, everything went normal without any errors. So i rebooted my phone and ............
a black screen poped up, I was really worried because i couldn't boot my phone, nor could i go into the recovery or download mode. I don't know if i could or not but the only thing I'm getting right now is a black screen or a backlight.
The only thing that seems to be working is when i hold Power+Volume UP button, my laptop can detect my phone (as Samsung CDMA Technologies) but can not flash anything using Odin, it stucks on "setup connection" message. Nothing else is working, I tried:
Home+power+volume down
Home+power+volume down+volume up
Power+volume down
Power+home
etc
I also tried a hundred different ways like completely uninstalling the drivers (with or without kies) pulling battery out, try those key combination while battery is out and reinsert battery while holding them but nothing is working.
I found this article yesterday which is for unbricking the hard bricked phones, but ADB can not detect my phone:
http://www.engineerthink.com/blog/2015/11/how-to-unbrick-hard-bricked-android-phone/
Please help me guys, And do not suggest me to take it in Customer Service because i would if i could.
Thanks in advance

galaxy note 4 (sm-n910t) caught in boot loop and won't enter to recovery.pls help

my galaxy note 4 (sm-n910t) caught in bootloop . i dont know what caused it. the phone simply restarts upto first bootscreen, ie upto 'samsung galaxy note 4' and then vibrates and then restarts.this process continues upto battery is down or i pull out battery.the phone is not entering to recovery mode but enters to download mode.
i have tried installing stock rom from sammobiles but it won't help.i have also installed custom recovery twrp but that also won't help to enter to recovery mode,
i am trapped pls help..
You didn't mention how you tried to install the stock ROM . Did you use Odin?
I just fixed mine with the same issue. I was able to boot into recovery and download mode but mostly download mode without bootloop when I had the usb cable plugged in. I used ADB when I could to boot into download mode, but the buttons worked too. Trying to restart the phone only lopped after the Google screen.
I followed several guides here to flash stock with Odin and wipe cache etc but none solved my boot loop issue. almost gave up but there is a video on You Tube that said the battery warping in the cause of the boot loop. The battery, after/during quick charge, may heat up and change shape causing the issue. Today I installed my new battery purchased on amazon and no more issues.
Now I am on stock and have to find a good rom.
If you do decide to flash back to stock there are a lot of good guides. You may find yourself stuck on the T-mobile screen for 15 minutes when booting for the first time but that is ok. If you still boot loop after installing stock and wiping cache I would try the battery.

hi OP,
did you find any solution to your problem?
Hello all. I'm also pasting this in the T-mobile thread in case it can be of benefit to someone. This is advice to use as a very last resort if you are experiencing the recovery bootloop issue AND you don't have the emmc failure bug. I had the recovery reboot, sudden shutdown with no warning, etc. issue for the past two weeks. I tried everything on Google and Youtube to fix my problem with no success. I flashed multiple stock ROMS and recovery tars (stock and TWRP) via ODIN, but nothing worked. Oddly enough, I never received the emmc error that I have read about. Also, in the few times that my phone booted normally, I even loaded the Wakelock Power Manager app, set it to partial wakelock and my phone STILL continued to bootloop. As a last resort, I bought a new battery, but the reboot problems continued in Android 4.4.4 Kitkat, 6.0 Marshmallow, 7.1 Nougat and 8.1 Oreo ROMS. Well, here is what finally helped me to get my phone back operational. I had a backup ROM from a previous install and a TWRP flashable version of the same ROM on my SD card (in case the phone did not stay on for the full restore). I put the phone into a ziplock bag into a freezer for about 20 min. (thankfully this time TWRP stayed on long enough for me to do the following):
1) copy all the files I wanted to save from internal storage to a computer.
2) performed a full wipe (Dalvic, Cache, System, etc. Like when flashing a ROM, but this time also internal storage. Note: Please do not wipe both internal and SD card, as you may have a difficult time trying to load the ROM file back on the sd card (assuming you don't have a card reader).
3) After wiping, I was able to restore my stock ROM backup (or you can just flash the stock ROM).
I can't be 100% sure, but I think my wiping internal and then flashing the stock ROM finally did the trick. Since this morning, the phone has been pretty much back to as it was before. In either case, I'm sharing this with the hope that it helps someone else.
