[Q][SOLVED] Samsung Galaxy GIO (Can't enter download mode)

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

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!

Can you please enlighten us on WHAT you did to mess up your device??
If you cannot boot into download mode or recovery you will have to either arrange for a Usb Jig or make one (Google for that its easy) a Jig forces the phone into download mode.. Else service centr is your friend

Needs help to unbrick my note 8

USB seems disconnected during loading system to note 8 n5110 and as a result, it stocks at "Firmware upgrade encourtered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". It showed no response to power key and home key. Is there any hope to reload the boot and related files to the device again for unbrick and how? Thanks a lot.

Just curious but how are you turning it on? Physically connecting the battery?
Make sure you have the Samsung device driver installed on the PC. Also might try it on another PC if you have that option and see if Odin can connect to device.
If Odin will not work might try using Heimdall: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265

As I said, I cannot turn it on or off. It is on when it has power. Yes, you are right, the battery is solided on the device, so I cannot take the battery off.
I have samsung decive driver installed on my PC. Without going into download mode, the PC and Odin at least can find the device, although PC only recognized it as a moderm.

Might try Heimdall and see if you have any luck with that. Link is in my previous post. Otherwise, not sure what you can do besides taking the tablet in for repair.

First, Tablet needs to be switched off. Then, press "Power" and "Volume Down" buttons together. Once the screen lightens, release the buttons and follow the instructions on the screen.
In case you need to go to recovery mode, press "Power" and "Volume Up" buttons together (also the tablet must be switched off first).

I bricked mine trying to go back to stock rom ?

Soft Brick Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Help

Hello, First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Mark, I live in the Philippines,and I'm also a grade 7
If you're wondering why someone so young is in this forums, it's because I just need help with my tablet.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1, I tried to root it with Kingo Root. But I was too late to find out that my tablet wasn't supported. I tried to unbrick it before but I haven't found anything yet, and then my tablet went out of battery. When it had its battery back, I can't go to Odin/Download mode anymore. If anyone can help me fix this problem and unbrick my device, that would be very helpful. Also please reply quickly since we need it now.
Thanks in advance.
-Mark

Hello there !
If you can't go to "Download mode" anymore, I'm sorry but it starts bad...
Can you still go on "Recovery mode" ?

Sorry, I'm not here with a solution to the problem but Even i am dealing with the same kind of problem... actually I was updating my Galaxy Tab 3.7.0 Android jellybean 4.1.2 version to kitkat 4.4.2... but somehow my pc got hanged and the whole process was terminated.. after that i tried to switch on my tab 3.7.0 but It just kept saying 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again!!'. I am not able to go into download mode or either recovery mode. When i tried it to connect with kies it said that kies doesn't support this device. i have all the drivers needed. And it's not even charging. I tried to recover it by using CWF recovery mod using ODIN 3.09 but the process just stucks at 'setting connection' I AM STUCK! PLEASE HELP!

what are you doing? You make a question and you answer it by your self or you just want to put the web link to get more visitor to your website. If you know the answer why you ask it It's like ridiculous

I think you messed up your boot files. Use odin and set back to official firmware!
