Ace2 - Bricked - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My Ace 2 is bricked. When I turn on my phone it stays on the Samsung logo.:crying::crying:
I can not get into the recovery but I can get into the service mode.
I tried to flash gingeberd and jellybean with odin. But when the device reboots it stays on the Samsung logo. U8500 USB drive appears on the computer ROM.
Any help?

Any can help me?

Flash 3.Parted full FW according to your phone... Be sure that you pick 8160 or 8160P according to your phone
Use the GB Version (if you have 8160P) For 8160 we have only GB...

Thank you very much for responding.
I'll try it

I have try this method and flashed the three file(Code,csc,pit) throgh Odin3 v3.07 with "Auto Reboot", "Re-Partition" "F. Reset Time" flags marked. Flashing is apparently succesfull (whith "PASS!" status shown and phone rebooting), but still stuck at initial logo.

Still no recovery mode?

No :crying:

mmmm - strange - is it an 8160 or an 8160P?
If 8160 (non-P) try the leaked JB MB4
http://getwapi.com/search/view/zip/WNlx-UxLba/I8160-EUR-I8160XXMB4-136126789.html
Klick on Download I8160-EUR-I8160XXMB4-1361267890.zip
There is no PIT file - Use the one I attached.... de-pack it first (of course)

It is a gt-i8160.
I'll download it. This afternoon I install.
Thank you very much.

Some more things to try... if MB4 does nothing...
Flash again GB 3-Parted...
Don't let the Phone boot - go directly to Download-Mode again
flash with ODIN - Kernel with CWM for your phone....

Try to go direcly in CWM Recovery mode after flashing Kenel.... If you are in CWM do format SYSTEM, DATA, CACHE, INTERNAL SDCARD...
Go directly in Downloadmode and Flash 3-Parted Again.... Hopefully it will boot....

hi,
It does not work.
I have tried from odin and I've tried from heimdall.
When I flash the http://d-h.st/AZN.
I realize the steps described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426437
But I get the error: There is no pit partition.
I have looked with heimdall and the partition is in the system.
I've tried installing I8160XXLI2_CWM_5.0.2.6_ANT.tar.md5 in PDA section.
Setting the phone to restart and when restart the phone is locked. I can not start . To start I have to remove the battery and put it. And I can not go to recovery.
It only shows the logo of Samsung
Thanks,
Alejandro

Maybe it's not your luck my brother. :laugh:
verify again your setting on odin. see "how to" thread carefully.
and verify again your ancora.ops its contains partition table.
I've faced this problem before. Try these:
1. Flash stock ROM. Tutorial is available from here
2. Root your phone again. Tutorial is available from here
3. Install Clockworkmod. Tutorial is available from here
4. Confirm that your CWM is accessible.
try another ancora.ops
Tanks for all..for replay
I have replace this ancora.ops but
remains the same. the flashing process with Odin just to step CLOSE SERIAL PORT AND REBOOT .. but my phone can not reboot until a PASS in odin ..

OK the first big mistake you are making is attempting to flash firmware in stock recovery.
This is *NOT* DOWNLOAD mode.
To enter DOWNLOAD mode hold POWER +HOME +VOL DOWN(not up)
You will then see a screen asking if you wish to continue. Select continue.
Then load your stock firmware with the md5 extension into the AP tab of ODIN and flash.
It will auto reboot and take about ten minutes on the SAMSUNG loading screen to complete booting.
Flashing 100 % in download mode

one more thing when i plug it for charging it shows samsung boot screen not battery charging screen
i have back cover off so i disconnected battery to power it off and checked with that also it shows samsung boot screen
even when it is power off (disconnecting battery then connecting ) connected with pc also shows samsung boot screen
by boot screen i mean the first one you see when powering on not the logo
Also your 1st reply that i am flashing firmware in recovery is leading me to conclusion that my tab is going directly into recovery after boot
Also i can email you all the photos of whole process i take photos of odin and tablet at the same time and used other pc and cable
It seems your partitions are messed up somehow. This probably happened flashing cm and why it boots to recovery.
I've seen this behaviour before.
I'd advise you to flash the stock firmware with the pit file for the t800.
You will find the pit file on this forum.
Will do and update

Ok can you try flashing my latest twrp in the dev section.
Make sure you disable auto-reboot then force reboot into recovery.
Are there any errors at all when flashing?

OK from what I can gather from your images is that you start off with a lollipop firmware then flash an early ANFB firmware.
As far as I can remember it boots into recovery afterwards on that firmware to complete the flashing process.
However it seems it is not compatible with your model.
What region is this tablet from?
I'd forget about flashing KitKat firmware for now. Use lollipop firmware.
The first thing I suggest is to manually boot to recovery and wipe the cache partition then wipe data/factory reset.
Next is stop using ODIN 3.09 and download 3.10.7
Load the lollipop firmware correct for the device region and flash with ODIN.
If it fails after booting to recovery, wipe the cache partition again and see if it boots.
If not report back and I'll post how to get past it.

It will always go to recovery after flashing as it uses recovery to complete the flashing process.
Even if it fails in recovery just wipe cache and factory reset and it should boot.
Will take about ten minutes on the SAMSUNG logo with sparks then you will see the updating message and finally boot into android.
To circumvent the device booting into recovery after flashing use 7zip and right click on the md5 file then choose open archive and highlight sboot.bin, boot.img, recovery.img and system.img.
Drag these out of the window into an empty folder.
Next highlight these four files and right click then in 7zip select 'add to archive'
Select 'tar' and make sure compression method is 'store'.
Once the process is finished you can flash the resulting tar file in AP slot of ODIN.

GT-N7105 bootloops Samsung logo

Trying to fix a friend's GT-N7105. At the moment it just bootloops the Samsung bootloader screen (which shows the model number GT-N7105).
I can boot it into download mode just fine. On download mode it just says that both the "Current Binary" and "System Status" are "Custom".
I've tried flashing the stock ROM for the phone (the latest for the Optus version) with Odin. I've also tried doing a firmware restore through Kies 2. Both of these complete fine, but the phone continues bootlooping the Samsung logo.
I've tried directly flashing the newest bootloader with Odin, and I've tried flashing a custom recovery with Odin. I've tried flashing the stock firmware with the device's PIT file and re-partition selected. Nothing seems to change how the phone behaves. I can't boot into recovery mode (it just continues the Samsung logo bootlooping).
The emmc doesn't seem busted, since it happily downloads the full system.img when flashing. Odin/Kies finish flashing without errors, so I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Make sure that you have pressed power + volume up + home button to boot into recovery (maybe you have known already)
And try to format everything: data, system, cache,...Wipe everything. There should be some adb commands to do it without recovery. After that reflash stock ROM again to see if it work.

Thanks for that. This seems to be for the N7100. I tried flashing that file both as is and when replacing the included recovery with one appropriate for the N7105. Still just boots back to the bootloader (looping, same as before). Certainly didn't make anything worse.
If I leave it alone, sometimes it randomly makes it to the animated Samsung logo, where it plays the boot sound (dun dun dun duuun dun), but then this animation loops forever (I have tried leaving it overnight).

GT-I9195 multiiple unsuccessfull recovery flashing even though ODIN success

Hi, I've digged through much of xda and not found a satisfying answer. My phone boots into download, is detected by odin (7,8,9,12 all ok), and whatever I do, odin says it was successfull. I tried flashing the stock ROM, the official ROM with 4.4.2, pit file, all in vain. Before crashing my s4 was running cm13 with twrp3.0.2-1. When turning phone on, it just displays "Samsung GalaxyS4 mini / GT-I9195 label on black screen, with "set warranty bit: kernel" in upper left corner. Download mode boots ok, but recovery - twrp 3.0.2-1 logo is displayed for about 8 seconds, and then phone reboots to "normal" mode - displaying the logo.
It would be great if some of you had an idea of what to do as I've been trying on my own for 3 weeks now and nothing changed for better.
As there are people looking at this thread, it would be great to hear from you! I still did not succeed in flashing anything, twrp screen shows for 8sec and then phone reboots to normal, which is samsung splash screen. I'm using samsung drivers, have tried different usb ports, used different computers, still nothing.
Did you try 4 files firmware?
http://firmware.smartphonewp.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-gt-i9195-full-firmware-4-files/
Hi,
Unfortunately I can't help you here, but I have a similar problem and it might be related to yours. I have also have a Samsung S4 mini GT-i9195 LTE. Originally with Android 4.4.2 but lately with no OS at all. And I can't figure out how to get one back. What happened, chronologically and (very) detailed:
I rooted my phone with KingoRoot, which worked fine as far as I can tell. When I didn't like the KingoSuperUser-App I installed SuperSU. But it failed to work, apparently because of Knox or something like that. I later wanted to flash my phone with a LineageOS ROM (lineage-14.1-20170505-nightly-serranoltexx-signed.zip) and therefore I wanted to install TWRP as custom recovery. As the usual way with Odin seemed a bit complicated to me at the time, I decided to install the "TWRP Manager" App, which went well. But as soon as I tried to install my ROM with it, it asked if my bootloader was unlocked. So, after searching the internet about that and it said that Samsung phones usually have an unlocked bootloader and only have to be rooted, I went on with installing the LineageOS ROM using the TWRP Manager. Mind you, I am not talking about the custom recovery that you have to boot in to by pressing Vol-Up+Home+On/Off-Button, I am talking about the app that you can download and just needs root permissions to do the same stuff. I had downloaded the ROM-zip onto my SDcard before and wanted to flash it from there.. Now, when I let the app go on, the screen just went blank. And this might be the moment I overreacted. I panicked and tried to start my phone again. But it only went as far as the Samsung logo and didn't go further and I had to pull the battery to turn it off. I then tried to boot into recovery mode by pressing Vol-up+home+On with no result, I then tried with Vol-down+home+On and found Download mode with:
Code:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9195
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 -> this one might have been 0x0 the first time
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
After some research I downloaded Odin3 (v3.12.5) and managed to flash TWRP (2.6.3.0) onto my phone. And I found the ROM-zip file, but it would not let me unpack and flash it and it didn't help to uncheck the "Zip file signature verification." When I tried to flash I always got the same error massage:
Code:
Updating partition details...
Running boot script...
Finished running boot script.
Installing '/external_sd/lineage-14.
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file foun
Warning: No file_contexts
Target: 1493971678
detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/bl
Can't install this package on top of
E: Error executing updater binary in
Error flashing zip '/external_sd/lin
Updating partition details...
And it gives a "failed" response. Now, I tried moving the zip to internal_sd and flashing with no better result. I also tried to flash a stock ROM which I downloaded from Sammobile.com. This didn't work either. The adb push method and the sideload didn't work out either.
Interestingly, when I go to "Reboot" -> "Power Off" to turn the phone off I get a dialog:
No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to power off?
-> "Swipe to power off"
-> then comes the next dialog:
Install SuperSU?
Your device does not appear to be rooted.
Install SuperSU now?
This will root your device.
-> "Swipe to install."
Which had no effect at all but to inform me that my phone apparently isn't rooted after all. I therefore downloaded the S4Mini_RootKit_v2.zip and tried flashing it, which was successful. But I still got the same dialog when powering off and I couldn't install the zip files either.
That's where I am now and I really don't know what to try or do next. As I could flash TWRP onto my phone, shouldn't it also be possible to flash an OS?
I hope this was a precise enough description. If someone has any further question, please ask.

Try an factory reset with the recovery.
Download a multiple Firmware from Sammy with PIT.file
Boot into Download mode.
Download Odin 3.07 or 3.09 not newer
Flash all Files with Pit.file
Reboot.

I posted this thread precisely because my recovery DOES NOT work. No option for factory reset. It just reboots after ~8 secs of twrp 3.0.2-1 screen. Flashed with ODIN 3.09, official intern. ROM from sammobile into AP and drive. google. com /file/d /0Bx2R0nz6jh17bllKenctWnVsWkE/edit <-- this PIT file. Also tried this pit with different versions of twrp - 2.6, 3.0, 3.1 - still no change at all, no recovery booting
@desolate_sorrow
But you are not tried a multiple ROM with PIT.file.
You flashed only a Single File ROM under AP.
On the multiple ROM you can extract the CSC File and than you have the PIT.
Pit you can only flash with Odin and a ROM.

Perfect! Worked like a charm for me! While factory reset itself did nothing to improve the phone, the other stuff worked. I flashed my phone with the .tar.md5 file I extracted from the .zip file (from sammobile.com) using Odin 3.09 and my phone works again, thank you soo much!
I then rooted it again and flashed LineageOS (lineage-14.1-20170505-nightly-serranoltexx-signed.zip) onto it. It worked but during the first startup I got the error massage "Setup wizard keeps stopping". I then tried the newest (20170519) version and got the same error again. Any Idea how I might repair this?
About the pit. file: what exactly is the difference between this multiple pit file, a "usual" pit file and the .tar.md5 file I used?
On a multiple ROM file is all separately, Bootloader, Phone , Modem and CSC file.
The PIT file is the partion File of the RAM. You can extract this seperat from the CSC file.
To the issue the the gapps. Try an older Version or flash first the LOS and setup WiFi.
Than flash Opengapps with wipe cache and dalvik than normally works the wizard.

i got the same problem, that the recovery is not working, flashing a multiple rom with pit doesn't help (neither recovery nor rom is working).
but i guess the main problem is, that i got a REV02 phone and I only can find REV01 firmware (e.g. this one here: http://firmware.smartphonewp.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-gt-i9195-full-firmware-4-files/)
are there any REV02 firmwares out there, which maybe can help? or does anyone (@bierma32, @albaCross or @desolate_sorrow) got any other ideas?

Thanks for replying. I tried flashing the LOS ROM and booting without gapps. According to TWRP it was successful. But when I booted for the first time I got similar error messages as before "[any app name] stopped running". Just with several names and all of them one after the other. Most of them appear to be named something like .android.com with different pre- and suffixes.
I then tried a more actual version of LOS with a similar result (same error message, similar names). After several times I decided to go back to my previously created TWRP backup (of the stock ROM with root access and several of the more annoying apps removed, also I had checked all partitions when backing up): I did a custom recovery and recovered my backup file and it seemed to work, TWRP said "success". On booting I again had the now so familiar error messages on the screen. Same happened when I flashed the stock ROM and recovered my backup after that, or at least tried. While TWRP still said it was a success it would not get past the screen where you choose your language.
After this I gave up and went back to the stock ROM and "rebuilt" my old phone. Maybe my phone just doesn't like anything but the stock ROM, so I should probably just stick to it.
But, just out of curiosity, what exactly is the problem with the phone if neither custom ROMs nor system backups work on it properly?

this was me just 2 days ago!
i was on lineage os 7.1.1 with TWRP and was stuck wanting to go back to stock.
i flashed many many roms and they all failed in ODIN.
Eventually i found a Netherlands ROM that did not fail on the REV02 check - might be worth a go!
my thread
good luck!
Hello,
I own s4 mini gt i 9192
i have rooted it with kingroot when it was in a stock firmware, then i have decided to install lolipop rom with twrp with superuser in it, everything gone smooth i have used my phone over 3 months, one morning i woke up, the battery level was 43 %, i have set it in the charger returned back after 30 minutes and have seen that it only got 3% energy, pulled out the battery and inserted back, charged the phone for a while in a turned off mode, and powered it one, strangely it started but showed some kind of upgrading panel on the main screen than immediately it turned off and started to restart again and again, i have booted it in recovery mode, wiped the cache restarted the phone, main screen turned on to enter my password but in a seconds it went black again, opened it up in twrp recovery mode, went into advanced settings and wiped something in there(i can not exactly remember the name of the thing i have wiped but there was an option to wipe it in twrp advanced settings, it warned me "that my phone would not start correctly but anyway i have done it") after it's wipe phone started with s4 mini logo, and restarted like this over and over again, in recovery mode it only shows twrp logo no options panel to access to internal or external sd card, neither wipe or factory just nothing but twrp logo. I have flashed the 4 files recovery pack, (pit, ap,csc and etc,) but same it is never helped, i have used multiple recoveries, and the original stock rom from sammobile, but it has nor cure, i am a newbie on tech and xda please if you could help me, i have tried to post it to xda forms but i did not find a button to post a thread, thanks.

galaxy note 4 SM-N910P won't flash any ROm file

HI Please i have this ERROR ON mY N910p it wont flash any custom or stock firmware i don't know what to do . my Note 4 can't boot in to recovery mode. it boots at times and goes off after but in the download mode it boots well and it show the error in the images on Odin and on my phones screen ..i have tried soo many tricks but yet it didn't work .i'm confuse please some one should help me get back my N910p to Life please
If you're trying to flash a ROM from the stock recovery, that could be one of your issues. You would need to have a custom recovery like TWRP in order to flash from recovery.
As for using ODIN to flash a stock ROM, make sure you have the correct drivers installed to your computer before attempting to flash anything. Make sure you are choosing the correct slot in ODIN to load your .tar file as well. I've never seen eMMC errors in download mode before but that doesn't look good. I'm not that knowledgeable about Android phones yet to be able to troubleshoot very many issues.

Flash this QI5 firmware it will flash without errors because as i can see "fuse 5 binary 4" means you are on QI5 BL/BB so you cannot flash older firmware because its locked bootloader/baseband.
Must do factory reset from stock recovery after finish flashing.

thanks for your reply .. yes it is the correct firmware ..i saw in one post that it is due to the fact that i have updated to a firme with E-fuse protection ..i just flashed the Qi5 firmware but it bootloops .. it can't start corectly ...its just rebooting and the phone goes off after some secondes ..im confuse but i have Hope ..help me thanks
Did you flash the QI5 firmware and then do a factory reset right away from stock recovery like Trex888 said to do?
So it bootloops and then powers off completely by itself after a few seconds?

Do a wipe data factory reset & wipe cache then reboot system.
If that doesn't work then follow this steps and be patient.
1,downloaf twrp recovery for n910p
2 open odin options and uncheck autoreboot (MUST USE ODIN 3.10 OR HIGHER)
3 choose AP TAB and choose twrp
4,connect device to pc in download mode
5,hit start
6,once twrp flashed remove battery and insert again
7,boot into twrp by 3 button combo
8,go to wipe/advance wipe/choose (dalvic cache+data+system+cache+internal storage) you have to wipe 7 times .
9,now go to odin again and choose AP and choose QI5 firmware.
10,go to odin options and check on "nand eraseall" & "re partition"
11,connect device in download mode & hit start.
Once flashed go to stock recovery and do factory reset.
12,Reboot and wait 10 to 15 min.

THanks ... i will do that right Now and will tell you the result
for anyone not new to rooting , unbricking, stock flashing , twrp , etc ive had this very same problem after nights of screaming and confusion cause i KNOW im doing everything correct .. exact problems as lots have had here .. i replaced my cord with a cheap gas station android cord and borrowed a friends battery that was only a few days old .. and everything worked as it should .. moral of this story .. i assumed my hardware was fine cause independently both worked fine .. but for whatever reason it just wasnt good enough to flash stock FW problem solved .. it only took me a month to come to this amazing discovery (-_-) hope this helps someone ......
