[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Sniper Killer:
The first time when i bricked my ace i was on 8th August 2012 ( 4 days after i bought ace i lol ) I didn't know anything about android ! I didn't know even what was an apk on that time. I was a big noob. In this way , i bricked it while installing CyangoenMod 9.1 [4.0.4] of S5830 Ace xD. I didn't know that Ace and ace i was so much different. I was killing my self. :p I searched that day 8 hours non stop about this. I didn't tell parents or ... *bad poker face* :p And when i successfully unbricked it on 9th August 2012 at 8 am ( I remember it like it was yesterday :silly: ) i felt like i was the king of technology :p

Now , i am a master of bricking/unbricking :p as i brick my device everyday trying new things :D .

By flashing S5830 ICS, i got it bricked 2 days after buying it. I scoured the earth for a solution. That's the way i got to xda too :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] alex_is_the_1:
Mine was around January 2013 I bricked my ace i because I thought I knew what I was doing. Since I had the original ace and never bricked it one. Freaked out for a couple days till I came across this forum by google. Ever since xda and google are my best friends. :cool:

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] R.A.D DROID:

Few months later and I have a new kernel and ROM :p

december 2012,

it was the first time i brick my device,

i was trying to flash razodroid..

but it went really bad..the file was a bad download...

it was a fcking nightmare for me...

i didn't had any knowledge whatsoever about android..

i was a big time noob..

i had to wait for 2 days to unbrick my device (no internet connection)

then i again bricked my device two days later while trying to update the fw via odin..

this time the splited firmware was corrupted...

since then, i have bricked my phone many times and soft-bricked it like a thousand times.

i soft brick my phone almost everyday trying to do some new and stupid things...

it's been 3-4 days since i soft bricked my phone..i was too busy with submission in college...

now i am all free for 10 days and will find some new and innovative ways of bricking the device..

Ive got a galaxy mini and Ace i which i brick regularly (thank god for cygwin) and honestly went from gutted with the europa to panic with the mini, now i just enjoy all the hours of searching and trial and error and trying to get my soft bricks to connect so the drivers will activate. Id like to thank xda for this site, without them id be bored ****less and id have to speak with the mrs or worse take her somewhere:eek:......viva la xda. My saviours lol.:laugh:

Well, it was when i joined XDA and was looking for some updates about my phone then i saw that there was no updates i searched for some themes didn't know that time that are called custom roms, and i downloaded JellyBlast and i didn't follow the installation steps right and i bricked my device. :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Madexplode:
I don't know when, but it was horrible.

My phone freezed and i pulled out the battery.

I try to boot, but without sucess.

I got a bootloop, went into recovery and wiped everything.

Nothing helps. I had to send it back and after some days i got it back again.

The recovery was so interresting.

I wanted to learn more and my first rom was MindCr. Android-fany helps me, without him I didn't know how i had to flash it.

Thanks to him :good: ;)

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] Wroleader:
Ah, I usually brick my Ace quite often as I like to play with kernel source-code. I do know what I'm doing. I just screw it up on purpose just to have fun. I guess my first time was when I flashed Rafael.Baugis' kernel.

I got my phone almost 1 year ago and I bricked it the day i bought it. Yes, I was a noob, but in my defence I thought I bought the S5830 and not the S5830i, so I went forever trying to install the latest CM 10 and ended up bricking it. I went to the store and they flased it back to normal and it took me two weeks to gain the courage to try again. It all ended well and now I flash new ROMs almost every week to follow the evolution of our device. Can´t wait to the release of CM 10 for S5830i!

Have anybody unbricked a phone, which is in hard brick??????

Tell me please!

:p:D
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] :
USB Jig might work (Not always guaranteed). I have seen few posts in XDA claiming to unbrick a hard-bricked phone using USB Jig and a few posts saying they couldn't. JTag always works. That's how they do it at the Service Center.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] vj9716:
And can you give a link or the exact name of all these types of softwares???

btw thank you!

:D
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] :
Both are hardwares. USB Jig is a bit cheap and you can either buy it or make one. But JTag is kinda costly. Anyway you can learn more about it in the following links. You can also check it on YouTube to see them in action.

After 2 weeks, after I received as a gift my SGA S5830, I bricked the phone.

It was in November 2014.

I installed one at a time more ROM's, and because I'm going to try CM11 I installed CWM 6.

So I managed to have blue screens.

I had made a backup, but I could not to see the sdcard, nor in ROM, and nor in CWM.

I think I was a problem with the partitions on the sdcard, or something else.

I tried to fix it until 4am in the morning, but without success.

I was very grieved, because the phone was a gift.

The next day I went in service, and after another two days I had a Froyo reinstalled with Jig from service. They said that it was corrupted the kernel. I do not believe that.

I think I had some solutions to retrieve. But I still not used Odin at that time.

Since then I have not more installed CWM 6. I am not interested. Also neither CM based ROM's I am not interested.

I'm a fan of Stock ROM's. They are more stable and more flexible.

I learned a lot in the meantime.

Now I have my own ROM. It is made from firmware XWKTM, and is nice and stable.

And I hope I do not more get to go in service. :p

It has happened again, in time, to brick my phone. But I managed to recovered it immediately.

What ever I try I can not get my Globalsat BT GPS working in Alturion 5.3 with i-mate 1.72. However I can see the responce of my GPS blue LED when I switch on Alt. with the correct com setting!

I tried e.g. hard-resets with/without WM installation of com5, with/without BTHTools installation of com7 and any combination (all with fresh Alt. installation, no other applications)

Beam "receive all incoming" is always off

TT3.03 however works fine in all conditions (installed after I try Alt.) with settings: SiRF Bluetooth/Bluetooth GPS

If anyone has Alturion 5.3 working with 1.72 ROM please let me know the details of your config e.g.:

- version of Alturion (I have 5.3.1.4 and don't trust some updates)

- BTHTools version/ port

- WM com port

- what GPS

- any special utils

or anything else you think is helpfull to try

Anyone knows if TT "SiRF Bluetooth/Bluetooth GPS" works via the serial port or does this somehow works differently???

Thanx for any suggestion.

I have exactly the same ROM like yours !?. Is your "i-blue GPS" a SiRF II type?

The 5.3 upgrade you can download from www.alturion.com with this exe http://www.alturion.com/update/AlturionAutoUpdate21.exe It probably only works if you are a registered user.

It works fine in this configuration.

When you make your connection to the BT antenna , do it through the bluetooth settings on your qtek where you activate the COM5 outbound. Then bond your device with the antenna.

it should work then.

Back when the Galaxy S Captivate came out, I released one of the most epic mods in Android history (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=873276), and I now notice that Samsung has taken my idea and ran with it. I feel like I should be paid monies. :cowboy: This could also however be the reason for the phone lagging. The sheer awesome of the silver speaker mod cannot be contained by the device.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Dent is the bright point on lower right side

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Luckily i order this one from the web so we can return it without fuss (i would hate to have a phone with scratches on day 1, usually i never drop my phones and keep them top shape, i'm a perfectionist hehe) but i been waiting for ages for this phone so i couldnt take it any more and went out and bought one from the store and gambled :) this one is without scratches as far as i can see. Hopefully no hardware error but lets see by tomorrow hehe

I have had really bad luck with phone as of late, my last S3 had hardware problem and kept rebooting right out of box so i had to exchange it. Hope the circle is broken now. Any way just wanted to let of some steam here :cowboy:

Unlucky. I'm very happy I have no issues at all with screen parts or physical build, except for a battery that seems to drain too quickly (yes most everything is off, and no, it's not the media server bug).

I would take it back. New products are supposed to look new, not used or abused.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ZaZu90:
I feel ya, my S4 came with yellow tint. Had to exchange it and still received a yellow-tinted screen. Refunded.
[Galaxy S 4 General] vampyren:
Totally, considering the cost (i pay cash) its not acceptable to have such obvious problems. The more people send back these phones the better they try to raise the quality bar i think. Its aweful to get a bad screen to, good that you refunded it.

For me the battery is pretty amazing so far, i charged it full and played with it like 40 minue using map, web, 4G, wlan etc and its at 96% so its far better than what my S3.

Will keep playing with all the new features :D feel like Christmas :D

One thing i dont like is Google Play downloads like 40 apps and put them under the apps. I use to have them well organized in maps. Wish they could fix it so that it restores it as it use to be on older phone.

I havent even taken off the plastic nor put in battery :) either way they agree to take it back so no worries.

I'm so please with the other S4, it works so great. Battery is really a huge improvement from S3, been playing with is allot and after a day its at 50% so very pleased.
