Hi everyone
As I said on the subject I have a Samsung Galaxy GIO that doesn't work properly. The phone wasn't booting, so a friend of mine tried to fix him using ODIN (because i don't know how to use it) but he used the Galaxy ACE drivers and the OPS file also so the phone now things that he is an ACE. It says Samsung Galaxy ACE when it boots and the volume UP, the home button, the camera don't work, and a few other stuff don't work also.
So what I came here to ask is if you guys now any other way to get the phone into the Download mode? Or now a way to restore everything without ODIN?
Before I think the combination was Volume DOWN, Home and POWER but know it doesn't work =/
Thank you all
Use a tutorial on how to install ADB , or try downloading terminal from market and type ADB REBOOT DOWNLOAD
Then flash a gio rom using odin

And can you tell me where to find the drivers for the GIO? I've been searching for almost 2 days and I've only found the .ops file.
Some ppl told me that the Samfirmware ROM's don't need them, that we just check a box that says one package and select the ROM and the OPS file, is that right?
And thank you

Your device needs to have usb debugging on, and usb drivers so it can connect.

Well you can't Use ADB because that needs your phone to boot up.
Try this:
Take out battery and wait for a while. Then put it back in.
Now, again, take out battery and wait for a while. Then put it back in.
Now try Download mode

Pull battery, plug usb into computer, hold volume down, then while holding volume down plug usb into phone.
I've done it.
I didn't had access to the Download mode, but i had to the recovery one, so I installed the CM7 from there, then i plug it in to the computer and did as voetbalremco (thank you) told me to. (I got into the Download mode using the ADB and then I tried to install the stock rom that I've downloaded from Samfirmware, this time I used the proper .OPS file and ROM but after ODIN finished the phone wasn't booting all do it was already showing Samsung Galaxy GIO, not ACE and the buttons were are already working so I've installed from recovery another ROM.
Thank you all for the help. Without you guys I wouldn't make it.

wrong firmware upgrade
hello,
I was tried to do some "science" with my phone, upgrading the firmware with Flash ClockworkMod Recovery following instructions for Huawei U8160 in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259739.
After the image were downloaded, i have chosen to Backup Existing ROM (the old one, firmware 2.2.1), and the phone goes off without coming on again from that moment. I have no idea what might be happened but the phone remains off, like a dead body.
I'll appreciate a lot your help guys.

I dont get it. You dont have a gio? Dont post here then. If you do, why the *** would you flash recovery from a completely different phone..
Go to service center and get it repaired, this thread is [solved] and can be closed

which is the best rom them ? where can I get it ? :S
Hi guys!
I'm trying to bring back to life a Gio from a friend who somehow killed it trying to flash it.
Now the phone does nothing besides turn on the back light of the screen. I can´t put it in download mode or recovery mode.
Although Windows and Odin found the phone can´t flash it. I'm guessing because I can't get the phone to enter download mode.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
Thanks!
Hello Good people of xda forum
please i have a very big problem at my hand involving my newly acquired galaxy note II, the international version and i was hoping that some of you could help me out here because this is driving me nuts.
My galaxy note II is 2 weeks old and i rooted it 5 days after i got it with Odin and everything seems to work smooth ever since.
My problem now started yesterday when i stupidly went to install the chainfire 3d plugin because i wanted to try my older games that worked better on my qualcomm desire HD that wouldn't work well on my note II and what happened next has left me with sorrows since yesterday evening.
My lovely Note won't boot up anymore. It always gets stuck on the samsung galaxy note II logo. I am on the stock samsung rom.
I have tried everything i could read online to get it working including entering clockworkmod recovery, wiping data, cache, daivik, factory reset, formating sd and external sd card and nothing seems to work.
I have even tried entering odin download mode and downloading a custom firmware to flash but it keeps saying ''downloading'' but never finishes.
I am helpless now and do not want the 619 EURO i paid for this phone to be a waste. I can't return it since it is already rooted and i cannot unroot it in it's current state.
Is there any way for me to copy over the stock rom zip file to the external sd and flash it from there? If yes, can anyone provide me with a stock rom zip file to flash as i cant seem to find it anywhere?
My galaxy note II is the international version, bought at Saturn electronics shop, germany.
I will also admit that i am not so good with the technical stuff so a little explanation could help.
Thanks all.
There are stock roms in the note 2 forum here on XDA. You can boot into CWM recovery and mount your SD card to be able to use on your laptop/PC. If that fails, you can get the Android SDK specifically adb and push it to your internal SD.
I've done the same on my old Galaxy S2, so don't worry it's recoverable! I suggest getting a stock rom and flash via Odin, failing that use the method I mentioned above.
I apologise if I'm unclear, I'm exhausted tonight!
Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 through the Space Time Continuum
Best thing to try in ur case is make a full wipe and factory reset from recovery then to flash stock rom using odin then to make a wipe again if any problems,this should solve ur problem. Good luck.

Thank you both a lot. I am trying your solutions now. I will post back if it worked.
You both are life savers. My phone is back up and running.
Can't thank you all enough.
Thanks.
Any luck with your Note II ?
You can also download a custom rom , then put it in an external card
Slot it in the phone , do full wipe and flash .

Hello, sorry for late reply. Here is the link you need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
Search for your country's version of the stock rom and download it.
Download also the odin files included in that first post.
Once you have the stock rom for your country and odin files downloaded, unrar them if they are zipped and place their folders on the desktop or somewhere else you can
easily find them.
Now open odin from the folder you unrared and turn off your phone (your phone shouldn't be connected to the computer at this point).
Once your phone is off. Press and hold simultaneously the volume down button, home key button and the power button. Keep holding them until you
see the samsung logo. Then let go of the buttons and your phone would enter downloading mode.
Now plug in your phone via usb to your computer and a blue light would show on odin with COM written in it.
Now check the box next to PDA and point odin to the tar file contained in the downloaded rom folder you placed on your desktop and hit start on odin.
A progress bar would now show on your phone indicating that odin is flashing your phone with the stock rom.
Once it's finished successfully, it will show on odin "passed" in a green light and your phone should reboot and voila, your phone is now clean as new.
From there, I believe you continue on your own. Now disconnect your pbone and enjoy.
There are also pictures on the link I posted that would explain the process better.
If you any further questions, just ask.
Good luck.

What do you do if you can't get your computer to recognize your phone plugged in the USB? I tried to delete the Samsung Drivers and reinstall but it didn't work. I can get my phone to Odin mode but can not get it to flash.
PLEASE HELP.
Make sure you've installed Samsung usb drivers.
Edit: should have read your entire post *sorry* Make sure there are no other usb related proggies running; they might interfere with your sammie usb drivers..

Dears at XDA.
I managed to get a Galaxy Gio mobile for my kid. I noticed that there are somethings wrong in the software, so i downloaded the original firmware and put the phone on download mode. Then as usual used Odin to install the firmware. By accident, the cable slipped from the laptop and the process failed in odin. I tried to perform the process again with no luck. I tired to switch the phone on but a strange (mobile..!..pc) logo appears.
I cannot enter to recovery mode (CWM) anymore.
I can enter download mode...
I can enter to RAMDUMP screen (i don't know what it is used for).
I tried every version of odin with no luck ( it stuck in the SetupConnection and never go on)
i re-downloaded the firmware and it the same.
I tried the HemidallOneClick application with no luck... it keeps saying FAILED.
So, please help me guys.
U can enter download mode...:sly: that means u still got it. Flash the firmware again & do post the exact error if u get any.…or post screenshots(if possible).
Try with different ports. Maybe ur port has malfunctioned due to slipping of cable. USB ports at the back are good to use.
Note: use the correct name of ops file.

Thanks Galaxy_Rohit for your response.
I have already found the solution for my problem few days ago.
The problem is that:
- You should use ONLY Odin_multi_downloader_v4.42 not any other version.
- Odin should be on the root of the drive (D:\) in my case. I faced the problem because it was in deeply nested folders.
- Nothing else.
