HelpPPPppppPP

Hello friends.

excuse me for my english, this text i write which google traslate :(

Ultra Hyper Mega'm desperate, apparently something I did wrong, and although I can still enter the download mode, but when any flash ROM, it may be, flashing the screen stays black when odin ends, not if any of you this has happened to them, everything began to want to try removing the NLK (Network Lock) try this after I lost my IMEI, after that I had a thousand problems with gingerbread, and then trying to go down and see froyo trying to get my IMEI place the command to dump the vndata invested (actually this is a file in dev/block/stl5

So what I did was instead of putting

if=/dev/block/stl5 of=/sdcard/stl5.rfs

place

of=/sdcard/stl5.rfs if=/dev/block/stl5

ACE back with a brick and q do not know more.

Help Meee: (

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ilarrain:
It's the same (if=this of=that <=> of=that if=this).

Using dd to back up efs partition (stl5) corrupts it (probably due to faulty Samsung design). Doing it twice corrupts it more. Also, you've overwritten your backup with a corrupted one. Only known solution is claiming you warranty.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] cesargdmi:
thanks for replying.

try, making the warranty, but I have a question, what is the correct procedure to extract the file without corrupting stl5.rfs, my idea was only to extract and read the file for the number perso.txt unlock network.

I very much appreciate your help
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] cesargdmi:
please excuse me for my english, my native language is spanish and not write good english

i have one question,

are sure's, efs file is /dev/block/stl5 ??

i have 1 idea of copy file of other Galaxy Ace and putting into to tar and flashing via ODIN.

but i need have sure, who file is the correct.

please help me.

Regards.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ilarrain:
Go on, brick your phone.

ODIN can't flash efs in Galaxy Ace, because there is no slot assigned to it in cooper.ops

If you don't have a good reason/knowledge to do it, don't touch it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Lord_Baal:
Well, as i don't know much about Ace, could you guys give me some hint?

I was going to Flash the Villain Rom on this Ace, but the process resulted in an fail when ODIN was Flashing copper.ops. Since them the screen is all black, no Download mode and neither odin finds it.

I will take it to Samsung Service today, but is there another option?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] izzoe:
Can u tell us what u do when flashing villain.. Coz so far the only way to get hardbrick like yours is when u put the wrong file in Odin or if u use ROM manager..

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Maryushi3:
Maybe try to kill all Kies processes from task manager.

My question is: Can download mode be bricked? If yes then how?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] royskeyz:
Yes, if you flash one file package froyo from any ginger variants. Be careful in downgrading, there's thread on how to flash back to froyo by chinoyray look for it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] solidsample:
Guys, need your help.

After flashing Coderom V2, used the EXT4 Manager to convert the internal memory to EXT4. And accidently forgot to revert the filesystem to RFS and tried flashing another rom and ODIN gets stuck at the command

<1> system.rfs download

This is the case on trying to flash to any rom with ODIN now. Now the phone is bricked and not able to get into recovery mode. Download mode is still posible though

Need some method / link / help to get the internal memeory back to rfs so it could be flashed and brought back to life.

Thank you

SIM Bricked My Phone???

Hi people

Yesterday i put a 3 mobile sim in my Ace as i wanted to take the Network Lock off.

After inserting Sim card i turned phone on expecting it to ask for an unlock code, instead i got nothing, but a black flashing screen??

I have tried to flash as i can get phone into Download, but nothing.

Recovery Mode is not possible. Only Emergency Dload(ARM9 Mode) & RAMDUMP are possible(whatever they for?)

Any help othert than "Dude, you're phone is screwed" would be nice.

Thanks

I use FirstUA V1.2 Rom.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kehur:
I almost bricked the phone while upgrading from Froyo to 2.3.4 XXKPH. Suddenly download mode was not coming and then port problem started coming.

1. Download mode not coming -have patience when u go in download mode (dont take ur fingers off from buttons), take out SIM card and SD Card then give it a try.

2. Port problems - take our SIM, SD Card and then when phone is stuck in download mode, restart PC and connect phone again. If still issues exist then change USB connection port and try another port on your desktop/laptop.

Wish my hints work.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Baracs:
He said he was using Clockwork Rom Manager and NOT Rom Manager.

That said was the battery hot or was the phone been charged at the time.

I have had issues when I bricked my phone whilst trying to do Odin flashes where it hung (3 times now :) ) - where it would not boot into download mode afterwards - I took the battery out and replaced it with a cold battery and proceded to flip into download mode.

I was then immediately able to reflash to stock 2.2.1 XWKB7.

Just let the phone cool down if its warm to touch. Hope this helps.

Great guide. it works perfectly. But i live in saudi arabia so my ace came with the arabic/middle east firmware (thats S5830JPKC2 firmware). So incase any problem comes up i'd like to be able to go back to the original firmware that came wen i bought it. Problem of course is, samfirmware's jpkc2 has some missing files or something. Cuz wen i flash the one package of their jpkc2 the process finishes successfully but the phone wont start. no matter how long i hold the power button!!! It still goes into download mode though so i currently have it flashed with the Europe version. But can u make a repack of the arabic firmware? or if u dont feel like it and the steps are explainable cud u tell me how to get the missing files in or how to fix it?? Thanx

Why won't it start

Hi,

I tried the unbrick guide. I'm in Odin with a Yellow 1 (COM 5) sign.

When I put the phone in download mode, Power + Home + Vol Down does not work.

What does work is Power + Home + Vol Down + Vol Up. (so everything at once)

What I get in Odin is:

Download Start...

<0> Create File...

<1> StartThread Detected : 1

<2> StartThread Detected : 0

<3> StartThread Detected : 0

<4> StartThread Detected : 0

<5> StartThread Detected : 0

<6> StartThread Detected : 0

<7> StartThread Detected : 0

<8> StartThread Detected : 0

<1> setup connection...

And then nothing.

I closed Kies, with task manager. I tried on XP and Windows 7. Tried all the USb ports.

I really hope someone has another option for me.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] doctorace92:
Reinstall kies. Remove kies from startup.Before starting odin open kies and then close it. Then open odin and continue.It should work now.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] smominem:
i know why you have problem with odin =) and i know how to solve it:

1/ Odin need microsoft framework in order to work

2/for reason i dont know odin doesnt work on my win 7 x64 but does on my x32 so i suppose in x64 something missing in my framework or doesnt work whatever use a x32 bit system => Odin does launch in win X64 but dont work properly that s what i meant.

->uninstall kies too

3/ First i want you to remove sim and sd card

4/ download mode (power+ volume down + home)

5/ plug to comp

6/ odin should find it

7/ select your android rom

8/ launch update * how to check if it actually work update should take 5mn no more if you stuck somewhere

9/ if all works you should get a blue message in odin that says pass

NOTE: IT MAY HAPPEN that even if its blue it keep rebooting just do a factory reset =)

and TADA it work

:D +1 for me and my karma if it helped

And Guess What! IT DID NOT WORK!!!

This was my last resort and now I don't know what to do! But pay attention the funny thing, AS I mentioned earlier in ALL my posts! Is that the phone is recognized by ODIN but only in EMERGENCY DOWNLOAD MODE (It even says "COM PORT 18") But in this mode ODIN doesn't flash it, I needed DOWNLOAD MODE which was the reason why I bought the USB JIG, but it is not working! Is there a some kind of workaround to get the JIG working? PLEASE I REALLY REALLY need help!!!

If you say that odin thing, dude then forget inmediately any chance of guarantee repair cause flashing or do all those things that we do with our aces are not covered by guarantee, its obvious btw dont you think?

PD: remember soft brick like bootloops etc, can be fixed flashing again.
