[HELP] Phone bricked - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello dear users of xda. I have a serious problem. My phone is bricked after installing Chainfire 3d driver on jellybean ( i forgot it will not work on JB)
So then i wanted to reflash the Jb MC8 but odin does'nt detect my phone ;(. Tried on 3 pc's tried reinstalling drivers, tried Heimdall still the same.
Recovery mode works, but i dont have a backup. (BTW i have stock recovery of JB MC8) Tried my friend's cable (she has ace 2 too) did'nt work. My flash counter is 2 so i am afraid i might even have to buy a new phone. Can anyone help???

Flash via odin you can don't tick usb debugging, if odin cannot see your device you must reinstall samsung usb driver
You can copy rom cook to extarnal card and flash it via cwm or twrp i hope it work again

Cwm7???
I am running cwm4 (I have galaxy fit)...and up till now only cwm5 and cwm4 is available for my device!!!
Maybe you are talking about cm7 (cyanogenmod7)...that is a rom, cwm is a recovery...
Even my device doesn't have official cm on it (there are only unofficial ones)...
So you will have to be patient
2.3.7 was for nexus.
i have a better solution... there's a .zip from the skin1980 thread. each time you need clockwork, just go in recovery mode and apply the zip, it will boot the CWM

Go get the drivers on the samsung website.
I used the ToolKit for the S3 to install the drivers and you don't need to have your phone plugged in to install them. Here is the link to the ToolKit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665.
Are you able to get your phone in download mode at all?
Belive me, I tried all kinds of methods to install the drivers and it's failing to install them. The drivers just don't want to be installed so I can't transfer the rom into the sd card and since I deleted the mediaprovider.apk, I can't download stuff either.

Yes. But their are several options to re root and install cwm. I personally use twrp but the toolbox is the easiest method in my opinion to do it all for you.
Toolkit- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665
TWRP- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1793224
Edit: if you have a backup saved onto your SD card then you should be able to restore it once you get cwm on. Your backups from cwm will not work in twrp however unless you move them to the correct folder. Sdcard\twrp\BACKUPS.

We are not specific and are not spoon feeding you because this not done that way. You HAVE to spend time and learn what is what. The answers you need and the help you need are already here. If you're expecting download links and screenshots you shouldn't be modifying your phone. The whole point of this community is to learn and share the knowledge - not spoon feed.
Go to the TWRP thread, read up and download the tar that you need to flash through odin. Look for the MJ5 bootloader (hint: look up Wanam's ROM thread, that's one of the many places). After you got these two, boot to TWRP and flash the ROM.
Finally, as long as your phone gets into download mode, it's not bricked. And you got to do something incredibly foolish to make it not boot into bootloader. That said, it would be prudent to learn and act rather than blindly execute what you read - I said the same thing in not so many words in my reply to you in the DN3 ROM thread.

If you have used ODIN before to flash anything using this computer you are trying with now, you don't need to reinstall the drivers.

Here are some other things to try:

Remove the Samsung usb drivers, re-boot your PC and then reinstall them
If that fails then try a different PC. I have one were Odin will not work not matter what I do and another where it works perfect everytime.

Phone messed up

Well.. somehow I managed every time the phone tries to boot it says GT-s7500
i didnt flash any wrong rom... just install Clockwork Recovery from Google Play and tried to install a recovery from there and then Hell broke loose.
it only boots into recovery but i cant install anything. every package i choose to install gives me some error and the installation aboards. I tried various things but nothing really works...
than I downloaded Odin put the phone in the Downloading Mode.. the problem i have there is that despite the Samsung appears in WIndows Device manager ODIN doesnt see it so that I could restore it from there!
any advice would be really helpfull!!
thanks!!

i didnt flash any wrong rom... just install Clockwork Recovery from Google Play and tried to install a recovery from there and then Hell broke loose.
it only boots into recovery but i cant install anything. every package i choose to install gives me some error and the installation aboards. I tried various things but nothing really works...
than I downloaded Odin put the phone in the Downloading Mode.. the problem i have there is that despite the Samsung appears in WIndows Device manager ODIN doesnt see it so that I could restore it from there!
any advice would be really helpfull!!
thanks!!

Sounds Like You Flashed A Recovery For Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus on your gio!
To Flash VIA Odin, Install Samsung USB Driver For Mobile Phones By @SamHaLeKe :good: and make sure you are not using win 8.1 :fingers-crossed:

thats what I did.. but unfortunately ODIN doesnt see my phone...
when I plug the USB into the phone there comes a message saying: "odin oops - usb read transaction failed"
should I try one of the other "unbrick" methods??
thanks!!!
Good Luck!

well yeah i tried various USB ports... I have managed to do something.. although it is still strange..
I downloaded all ODIN versions... as I sais before the 4.42 didnt see my phone... as any other 4xxxx version...
the only versions that did see my phone when connected were: 1.85 - 1.87 and the 3.09, I repeat 4.42 NOT working...
so tried to flash there... but only errors came up for some reason.... I had downloaded some recoveries for the phone so I tried flashing them. That worked. I got a success.
I tried flashing: stockrecovery-DXKT4-odin.tar
cwm-5.0.2.7-ext4+rfs-odin.tar
cwm-5.0.2.7-ext4only-odin.tar
they were all successfully installed but I just cant flash a firmware,,,, :/
Now when the Phone boots up I get the samsung logo and afer that the yellow exclamation mark!
Though I cant boot in any of the recoveries I previously flashed!!
thank you!!
Redownload gio ops file and try again (use a different source) with ODIN v4.42

Try the usb drivers from this link, they should work perfectly. You can use the other files, like the recovery's and gio ops as wel from that link.
Whatever happens to my phone, I use these files to repair my gio and till now, I always succeeded...

If flashing only the recovery doesn't solve your problem, flash stockrom...

Hello! Sure I know that. But as I have said i CANT flash any rom! every time I try to "error" pops up!
Thanks for you files but I still got the same Problem. Odin 4.42 wont recognize my phone! (I have tried various drivers and of course the ones you sent me too)
So if there would be any other solution I would really appreciate! )

That's not a Gio (S5660) DUDE, That's a Mini 2 (S6500), you need Mini 2 firmware for flashing stock via ODIN (v3.04).
Happy Flashing
P.S: Odin (v4.42) is only for Gio and related models.
