Display not lighting up

Hi all,

As posted here (http://xdaforums.com/general/xda-assist/samsung-gt-s5839i-display-lighting-t2890289#post55724900), my device display is not working. It just turns a (dim) greenish, not very noticeable, when I switch it on. Do I have chances of reviving it, or is it nuked? It's got to be a hardware problem - could changing the LCD work? Or is it deeper? The device has been overclocked for a while.

Hello!

I recently tried to install a custom rom on my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i. Afterwards, it became stuck in a boot loop.

I managed to find what I believed was the stock firmware for my phone and used Odin to flash it back on. Everything seemed to go just fine and I even managed to install the custom rom afterwards without issue.

My problem is, however, that although the phone mostly works as intended, the phone element does not. I have a message saying 'Emergency Calls Only' and I'm unable to make any calls. This is the case straight after flashing with Odin, and also after installing a custom rom.

The IMEI number on the device matches the IMEI number found in the software.

Where can I go from here?

The phone was originally purchased in the United Kingdom from O2, if that helps, though the software says that no network lock is active.

Hey, first quesrion i have is .... Is the s5830i the same as s5839i?

I have a s5839i and i have been tring to install clockworkmod. I have since flashed s5830i firmware everytime i try to install clockworkmod it says installed and then goes to the cwm recover but if i reboot to recovery again it just goes to stock recovery? If i have a s5830i firmware then does that matter as the pgone is originally s5839i? Please help. Thanks

Ok, first off, yes a GT-S5839i is pretty much the same as a GT-S5830i, which explains why you were able to install 5830i firmware.

The CWM that you have installed is a temporary recovery, which means that each time you want to use it you have to re-flash the zip. So there is nothing wrong with your phone. If you want to use CWM as a permanent recovery then you have to install a custom kernel with CWM built in. Such kernels can be found in the Android Dev section.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benholder90:
Oh! Ok that explains it. I just installed cm11 on my s5839i which is now s5830i. I kept trying to reboot after installing cwm and was thinking my pgonw is broken or something. But then i didnt reboot and just flashed the rom straight away and it worked :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightRaven49:
Yeah so you have nothing to worry about as the kernel for CM11 already has CWM 6 built in.

completing your question with your permission mate,, I was just wandering the same though :o ( using class 6/16GB -using FAT32+EXT2 partitions) .

To Whom It May Concern >>

In the future hypothetically speaking , lets say if I want to switch to class 10/32 GB Micro SDHC Memory Card (Max supported by s5830i) what kind of performances you will get from it ? So many variables that come into my mind .Performances will be improved drastically? despite really low memory we have access in this model?

2. If I use link2sd and similar dual partitioning techniques (FAT32/EXT2,3,4) does it impact my read/write access on rooted/stocked device ?

3. what type of brand among most popular class 10 got the best confirmed speed ( i.e: Kingston,San disk-Extreme mode,LB1 High Performance,etc,etc,,)

4. There is an unofficial method available here , which we increase internal memory through some unofficial script and swap,assuming swap is much slower process(read/write) to SD card in comparison to ram in your internal memory, does it really improve anything ?

Can't flash Samsung official firmware using odin

Hey guys,

I was on acejb v2.0 on my ace s5830i..

Then I flashed stock rom using Odin v1.85..

I rebooted and everything was normal..

I then went into android system recovery to flash update.zip to root my phone..:D

By mistake I clicked on cwm recovery and it got installed:confused:

I then clicked on update.zip and rebooted my phone and got into a boot loop..:(

Again I tried to re flash stock rom using Odin but it's not working at all..

I have tried it with and without using pit file but still no success..

It says "

failed to mount data(invalid argument)"

"rfs format failed on dev/stl11"

If I switch on my phone it just keeps on rebooting again and again..:rolleyes:

If I try to flash cwm it works but can't mount anything..error mounting data..error mounting system..etc.

Plzzz help anyone..:crying:
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehsanotaku:
[MENTION=6315480]jdss007[/MENTION], You have done everything by the book and reverted to your stock firmware without no problems, then you did install your temporary CWM successfully. Therefore you assigned partial root permission to your device (root exploit is not so important when you are in CWM environment, but "wipe data / reset";"wipe cache partition" and "advanced>wipe dalvik cache" recommended, before you do proceed with rebooting mate). This is required before most ROM installations and at other occasions too, for fixing some possible invalid argument problems such as mount /data failure etc etc,,

If you have access to recovery and not stock in boot loop, you can try them. Doing this will leave your phone in the state it was in when you bought it or when any custom ROM was first installed (all the data accumulated will be erased, backup is recommended) .. It will also wipe any sd-ext partition that you might have setup.

If the problem persisted and you stock in boot loop we need to use some multi wipe flash-able FW package compatible with you device PDA/CSC/MODEM as the author of AceJB mentioned in his post installation procedure .

You may follow these post in order to make your own flash-able package to wipe /data partition >> this topic is fairly new, suitable for fast grab; this one perfect for fresh start according to your personal firmware, in case of already made packages are not compatible with your device criteria >> post #9

Thanks for your reply..

I am still at stock recovery but i tried to install cwm over stock..after rebooting to recovery again cwm recovery shows up..but i am not able to mount data system cache...also not able to restore backups..it gives the same error if i try to wipe data/reset..

So after that if i try to flash stock rom again with Odin all i have is stock recovery again..

And in stock recovery if i press wipe data/reset it gives the error "rfs format failed on /dev/stl11"..

Ok i surely will try to make my own flashable packages and will update it to u again..

Thank You.

Hi there [MENTION=6251244]ehsanotaku[/MENTION]... This is my 1st time here so sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to all this, but I'm a competent noob and I learn quick so hopefully with your help we can sort my problem out :)

The phone with the problem is my son's s5830i. It is currently stuck at the start of boot-up on the screen that says 'Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i'. If I try to boot up in recovery, I get no recovery options, it just goes straight to 'format data/...' (see pic), then reboots the phone, taking me back to the Samsung boot screen again :(

So, let me tell you what I've done to this phone so far, then hopefully you'll kniw what's happened...

Brand new UK, Tesco Mobile (O2), GT-S5830i... Flashed with AceJB 2.0 and then installed CronMod-INT2EXT... All worked sweet. Phone booted up fine, all apps worked, added Google account and downloaded from Play Store. My only issue was things were a tiny bit slow, so I thought I'd uninstall a few apps that came with this rom.

Downloaded Titanium Backup from the Play Store, backed up the apps I wanted to get rid of, then uninstalled them. After uninstalls the phone was still working. Did a reboot but then phone got stuck on the lock screen after booting up. This kept happening, so re-flashed AceJB 2.0 and CronMod-INT2EXT and all worked well again.

However, after turning the phone back on, I noticed for some reason the Google account was still in there and the sync logo with a (!) in the middle was stuck in the notification bar. This was obviously annoying, so I thought I'd remove the account altogether, then try adding it again. As this was the only account in the phone it said I had to do a factory reset. So, I did the factory reset, the phone rebooted and here I am stuck on this damn boot-up screen :( Every time I try to get in to recovery it just does the 'formatting data/...' thing, then reboots.

I really do hope you can help me. Like I say, I don't know exactly what I'm doing but I can follow guides easy enough and I'm a quick learner, so if I'm going to have to use Odin or anything like that, just please point me in tue direction of a guide or something and I should be all good... Thanks in advance for helping me :)

[MENTION=6315480]jdss007[/MENTION], Remove your battery and write down here all of the information, which was printed beneath your battery please; Your Android version, Kernel version, CSC/MODEM/PDA information of your original stock firmware ( preferably provided link from sammobile.com database).

Let's recreate everything that happened during an event from the first "successful" flashing of stock firmware over Odin v1.84 I assume.

Did you flash in multiple forms (CSC/PDA/MODEM ) or single PDA entry (xxxx.tar.md5) by putting them into their respective places? How did you proceed, with or without your pit file, Did you tick RE-partition for your first flashing?

Version of the CWM, which is resided inside your SD card please and for the record don't worry if you have to flash it every time through "apply update from sdcard". Basically your stock Rom does not sustain a kernel with custom CWM built inside,so you will be back into stock recovery upon rebooting .

link me to place you did get your pit file ( probably "cooperve_0623.pit" )

After your first unfortunate experience , you did claim that you did try your pit file at least once; have you selected re-partition at that time ?

Just remember that pit file is used for repartitioning your phone, if it is a wrong/corrupted or used inappropriately, partition will be wrong hence data will not mount>> "rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl11" .

You didn't mention anything about "wipe cache partition" and "advanced>wipe dalvik cache" results .

Normally I have to wait for your answers, but i am gonna go ahead and write some instructions ; assuming you have right flash able "Wipe"- zip package that contains correct CSC/MODEM/PDA ; you have a cooperve Device and correct pit file in first place ,,, you can always get"Odin3.v3.07.Cooperve" with relative pit file from attachment provided for your convenient .

possible recovery solutions :

1. Get into stock recovery, flash your "temporary" CWM file, get into CWM mount options >> Format /system , /data, /cache, and in advanced menu dalvik cache too.

2. Reboot and go back to stock recovery, perform wipe data/reset ,, problem persisted, get into download mode.

3. put your CSC/MODEM/PHONE files from your wipe package into corresponding places,put the boot loader file provided in attachment into its proper place over Odin and Re-partition selected , proceed with your flashing process .

let me know how these instructions worked out for you mate ( another wipe/reset data over stock recovery upon completion of process never heart though .

[MENTION=6312196]PCG@m3r[/MENTION], Hi there :) I must confess that I have never been a fan of JellyBean costume made Roms . I am a bit surprised you did manage to make this Rom works smoothly according to you, without rudimentary knowledge of most important stuff mate :)

ROM Change Log of your preference subject was updated> (20.09.2013)<< last time i checked ,, According to some "Recognized Contributor" of the related topic you should have known the following in sequence : knowing your way around CWM for partitioning your SD card, before flashing your Rom; must be familiar with stock/custom kernels and their respective modules (Discontinued Rafael.Baugis kernel for instance will be a good start), since this Rom does not come with kernel support ;Before flashing any unofficial script such as "Cronmod" you did mention, you must perform "Wipe dalvick cache" through CWM for perfect result; Basic knowledge of "Link2sd" functions, which does not come pre-installed. So you see so many things could go wrong :(

Back to your problem though sorry for babbling ,, To make the long story short,you can't enter into Recovery mode. Correct me if I am wrong though , Phone boots into recovery mode regardless of what buttons you press( get stuck at "formatting /data"),hence you are not able to flash anything through stock recovery.Best guess, you probably installed something which was not meant for your device,, still as i said so many things could go wrong.

The only option we got here mate is, Download mode ,, you can read this topic get acquainted with some basic stuff, then we get more serious with Odin >this post

Got curious about wipe packages > this topic and post#9 of this topic .

BTW many of the initial quires I request @ above post will be included for through step-by-step instructions .

[MENTION=6251244]ehsanotaku[/MENTION] ... Thanks for the reply :) The reason I went fir the AceJB 2.0 rom was because it wasn't a Jelly Bean rom at all... Simply a JB look rom based on stock gingerbread. I would have been happy to stick with the phone as it was in the box, but I needed a rom with init.d support for the CronMod INT2EXT, so after much research I went for the AceJB as it was closest to stock (just looks like JB), I got the init.d support and from the many reviews I read, was very stable. Everything I chose was for the s5830i, no mistakes there... Like I say everything was working fine with no priblems before the second factory reset... It's almost like it's stuck half way through doing that maybe??

Yes, when entering rec mode, no options come up at all, it's just straight into 'formatting data/...' then a reboot. Like I say, I'm more than happy to go down the Odin route anyway. I've used Odin on my S3 with no probs so all should be good... I was just iinda hoping you may have heard of this problem before n knew a quicker solution. Thanks :)

Sorry, forgot to mention I do know my way around CWM and partitioned the SD card and wiped delvik cache too. When all was working, int-mem showed as 1.5Gb... Also the SD card is working fine. I've had that in the PC and can read/write to it all good.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehsanotaku:
[MENTION=6312196]PCG@m3r[/MENTION], Just before I start the process of pinpointing the probable root of your problems per your request ,,,Only remind you though that there is no quick way other than Odin for stock recovery mode as your case. ( Since you did narrow down some of my initial suspicious, I would try to address all of your concerns in one post).

At the end of my first post I did request for stock Android/ kernel version/CSC/MODEM/PDA; custom kernel of your stock machine, which you missed .

So I am running on speculation here> Assuming your Android official version is 2.3.6 (Gingerbread) stock kernel: 2.6.35.7 >> flashed custom kernel ( Rafael.Baugis 2.6.35-7 or ThunderKernel 2.2/ 2.6.35-7) .Partitioned your SD card into FAT/FAT32 and EXT2,3,4 to get your universal CronMod INT2EXT running (/sd-ext created).

Every apps in these kind of Roms (3rd party apps especially) are aligned with other apps and framework .( unless AceJB's Dev permitted and provided safe removal process). Deleting them would bring unexpected instability after rebooting cycle .

Titanium Backup, specially paid version has been considered a very good investment to get a batch backup of all the .apk's +data + systems ,, just be careful though, never use them inside other Roms because of incompatibility issues. ( for the future record please provide me with list of apps and packages you deleted in first place; will be found inside your SD card> Titanium Backup folder).

As for slowness you did notice mate ,your device was bound to become sluggish after installation of certain amount of apps eventually ,due to nature of INT2EXT.

Moving /data/data to /sd-ext defiantly will slow down the performance of the phone, you may try INT2EXT+ for boost ( To remove the script you can delete "06mountdl" or "06BindCache" inside /system/etc/init.d build , or do your fresh installation over stock )

Be advised some of the custom Rom you will use in near future might have A2SD/D2EXT/INT2EXT attributes enabled, so delete any 40a2sd/40d2ext/40int2ext inside your inint.d zip Rom,before using INT2EXT+

You are on your fresh Rom (CronMod INT2EXT script running on background) , So you did wipe data/factory reset;Therefore also wiped any sd-ext partition that you might have setup . As a result of this event after booting, your script which linked to your partition crashed .

Again assuming you are following to main objectives by flashing script : 1. You are trying to exceed your internal memory 2. Trying to remove all of your applications apk + dex + lib files etc,etc into your partition. For achieving your goal you really don't need to limit your mods tinkering to only Custom Roms with init.d support. Since you flashed from stockwith stock kernel, which doesn't have init.d support natively, You can simply flash kernels i did mention above almost over any stock/Custom Rom you want to run your scrip on them).

Hopefully I did help you
