look i have done this steps

flash blackhawk, so i can have gingerbread, it turns out ok

flash cwm v3.2.0.1, i use the gingerbread version, it turns out ok.

so now i suppost i can go into recovery mode and wipe data and factory reset

but when i try to go into recovery mode (volumen up, power and home) it says something like ramdumped, arm9 mode and it stucks there

how can i go to recovery u.u??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Sgace:
Ah i think i see your problem.

Try this: shutdown you phone. Then press and hold only POWER and HOME buttons, then you will get into recovery. ( You pressed to much buttons before)

Good luck.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] titocv11:
the problem persist, i have done everything again

1)downloading mode, then flash blackhawk, it turns out ok, but when the phone suppost to reboot, it go on and off, the screen go on, for like 1 second and then off it keeps doing it

2)after that, i flash cwm mode 3.0 for gingerbread version, but the problem with reebooting keeps going.

3) i use your metod, take out the batery, and then put it in again, i press HOME + POWER and i got the same problem with the rebooting and no recovery mode...

what do u think???
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Sgace:
Flash stock rom (samfirmware.com) to make sure u have all the good files and then try step 3 (from above) again, but whithout pulling the battery.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] titocv11:
ok so i flash stock rom but from gingerbread or froyo?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] titocv11:
i still can't wipe data i think thats the error. i dont know that to do im desesperate X.X

part 0 - Prepare

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Download the attached file from this thread. Put it in the root of your SD-card, in other words, store it outside any folder on your SD-card.

Rename it to "update" (update.zip).

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

part 1 - Install CWM

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

1. Install CWM by entering recovery mode (hold power + home-button).

This is what you should see now: [link]

2. *Using the volume button* scroll down and chose "apply sdcard:update.zip". Press your home button to confirm

3. Wait for it to finish, it should automaticly reboot (if I remember correctly, otherwise just reboot it yourself).

4. Enter recovery mode again, now your interface should look different: [link]

5. Scroll down to "wipe data/factory reset". Press your home button to confirm.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

part 2 - installing rom

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

1. Download the rom from here: [link]

(password: sampro.pl)

2. Remove SIM-card, SD-card and connect you device to your computer. Start your device while holding POWER + HOME +

VOL D

.

3. Start ODIN, it should bring up a light at the left to indicate that your device is recognized. If not, install KIES to get the drivers.

4. Select "one package file" and select the downloaded file. You're ready to flash.

If it doesnt work with KPN (2.3.3), try KPH (2.3.4) [link]

This is the best I can do, hope it helped.

I couldn't said it any better. Thnx QNTB
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] titocv11:
first of all thank you VERY MUCH.

but the problem is.. i can't go into recovery, when i press power + home (the rectangular buttom) it goes on, it says samsung in white, and then go off, and keeps that way...

i rename the file, then transfers it to the sd, then put the sd into the phone, then power + home but i cant go into recovery mode...

what rom i have to flash before i can go into recovery mode... im ****ed up
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] titocv11:
i can't do the firs part "install cwm", cause when i press this --Install CWM by entering recovery mode (hold power + home-button)-- it goes samsung with white words and starts reebooting over and over...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Sgace:
Did you flash stock rom already? For now forget about CWM for a moment, just flash a stock rom XWKPN 2.3.3 gingerbread
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
Try part two using the stock rom.

Then start from part 0.

edit: Sgace was one step ahead of me.

ok i flash a unbranded gingerbread stock rom called GingerBread S5830LUBKP7 (2.3.4 Unbranded) , the problem persists, when it says "close serial port ..." in odin, the cellphone starts rebooting again and again. but i suppoust now i have ginger 2.3.4.

now what should i do?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Sgace:
Where your from? The firmware you flashed is for 5830L. Better use XWKPN i think.

It should suit your ACE better.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] titocv11:
im from chile, near the place where it goes sim card says gt-s5830L
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] titocv11:
so i have flashed this rom: Galaxy Ace S5830L ROMs GingerBread S5830LUBKP7 (2.3.4 Unbranded). When the flash process is over, the cellphone reboots and reeboots again (so i have to take the battery off) what's the next step?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Sgace:
Hmm, then that should be ok i think.

Tell me what you do exactly when you want to flash firmware.

1. open Odin

2. .......

3. .........
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] titocv11:
well, odin, put in OPS: Cooper_v1.0 (is it the SAME file for every galaxy ace rom?)

select one package option. and then click one package, and select "S5830LUBKP7_S5830LUBKP7_S5830LUUBKP7_HOME"

now i turn my cell into download mode, volumen down, power, home (it says downloading... in yellow (just that, no imagine or something like that)

conect the phone to my pc, and start flashing...

****with no sd and sim card in****
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] titocv11:
the flash process starts normally, but when it gets to the part of rebooting, the cellphone starts reboting, the screen lights up, and goes to black, and lights up and it keeps that way until i take the battery of...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Sgace:
What windows are u using? Did you run Odin with administrator rights? I always do this.

Yes cooper.ops is the same.

Maybe a stupid one, but: Do you let Odin run till it says pass?

After you put back the battery you still can't get in to recovery?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] titocv11:
with w7, no i dont run it with admin rights, but it doesn't give me errors or something like it

i let odin run till it says pass, but the cell is going on and off =/

so its going on and off and i have to take the battery off, wait some seconds, but the battery back in, and home + power, but same results =/

(when i press home+battery+up volum) it says ram arm9 mode

when i first install villianrom, it worked, but then use the adb to get the unlocking code, i was able to get the code, then i restarted the phone, and the problems appeared u,u
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] titocv11:
when i first flashed the phone, i haved it ROOT, and i miss the UNROOT STEP, so i flash it rooted.. i dont know if that is important information
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Sgace:
You didn't told me that before. Next time tell it sooner please, give all the info you have for a quicker help.

I don't know anything about that, but i've heard that it's a bad thing to do.

You may have bricked your ACE.

Try these things, if they don't work you have to bring your phone to a service center i think.

Sorry man.

Good luck with it and let me know how it went.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] titocv11:
the thing is i dont think its bricked because i can go into DOWNLOAD MODE and flash roms, but i can't do the wipe and i think thats making the reboot problems =/
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
What firmware were you on earlier? (before your phone got "semi-bricked").

I had this problem once and I just reinstalled my phone to the old ROM, worked smoothly.

You mentioned something about root and unroot, did you mean that you proceeded these steps without root access?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] titocv11:
the very first rom i had was froyo 2.2.1 claro, and it worked perfectly, then i flash villain rom, and it worked too.

then i use the unlock adb metod, i did get the code, then i rebooted the phone and the problems came. it go on and off, the screens lights and then fades.

So now i have been trying with several roms but i cant get it fixed =/.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jusada:
Try flashing with stock, then try again. And it might help to format your memory card too.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
So it seems like the last stockversion you used was froyo, try installing froyo then.

After your attempt, report your result.

Find the rom here:

http://www.samfirmware.com/

and just to be sure, you tried to root after installing villianrom? So you didnt root

before

installing a new custom rom?

edit: oh, btw. When you install a new ROM it might take up to 2-5minutes to boot, dont be impatient and turn off the phone.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] titocv11:
in samfirmware there is no region for america (or L.A in specific)

so im going to use this one S5830BOKA3 ## (the first in the list for "provider samsung")

i rooted when i was using "claro" rom (the one that came with the cellphone), then i rooted and then i flashed villianrom (first time it work, but i reboot the cellphone and started the problems)

i'd waited like 5 minutes but the problem is that the screen seems to go on, enlight, and then goes off, and enlight, and off and keeps doing that until i took the battery off..

is there somehow to WIPE just with the computer, no cellphone use?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] titocv11:
ok im going to format it
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] titocv11:
any suggestions??? =/

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] russ18uk:
You've bricked your phone mate. Same problems as me and others who tried to network unlock our aces. Take it to the shop you bought it and tell them a load of bull that you were saving your contacts in kies then phone restarted after unplugging and just does what it does now. Good luck. You should get the board replaced for free.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
It doesnt seem to be bricked since he can go to download mode. As far as I read I never heard that a phone that is able to go to download mode being bricked.

I might be wrong though.

Either way, the last thing you can do is to film your whole process and put it up here. It seems like you're doing something wrong (if it's not actually bricked).
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] titocv11:
i don't think that is bricked too, because i can go into download mode, and the arm9 mode. i will get the process in a video im going to do it now, thanks everybody!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] titocv11:
ok so. what rom should i flash (i mean the one that has more probabilitys to work) (the phone's original one is froyo). and then, should i flash de recovery mode (cwm 3.0)???

should i first format de sd card again?

Flash 2.2.1 froyo, doesnt matter which region cause you dont want to stick with it later on.

Like I said before. Just tell them a sob story that kies screwed up your phone when backing up contacts or something. Any decent shop will have a record of when you bought the phone from them.

Samsung may charge you for a new board of you go directly too them.

I restored, everything looked okay, but the boot stopped at the Samsung title

[HTC Sensation] anarchyuk:
My Sensation died last thursday, wouldnt turn on at all, sent to htc, got it back in 4 days no probs. well no probs apart from they changed the mainboard and i now have to have it sim unlocked again...
[HTC Sensation] tsekh501:
This is why HTC requires people to register their devices with them for unlocking the bootloader in the official way. Otherwise providing unlocked bootloader translates into higher repairing cost for HTC.
[HTC Sensation] prank1:
If your device doesn't turn on and you send it to HTC, they won't be able to check anything software related on your phone, as they too will not be able to turn it on.

So even if you had -Revolutionary- S-OFF, had flashed a custom ROM, changed the bootscreen, etc, they would not be able to tell. They would just go ahead and change the motherboard, and since all the software stuff ( S-OFF, ROMs, etc) is on the NAND on the motherboard, this will be replaced with stock, and so you are back to S-ON, and stock ROM, etc
[HTC Sensation] anarchyuk:
doesnt matter if i had s-off or not, the phone got so hot solder points broke my point os to make people not be scared to send it back if it does, the phone is flawed. the new board is also getting hot just after booting the stock fw...

and in reply to HTC not being able to see the software if its dead... of course they can the riff box is based on the same method of dumping the phones fw chips as HTC do, jtag is not just a phone process but an electronics standard for repair through direct I/O on a chip without the controller chip programming it..
