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!
Hi there, I purchased my Galaxy Gio from eBay with Android 2.3.7 and cyanogenmod 7 installed. But the battery runs out way too fast. So I wanted to downgrade to 2.3.4 stock optus rom. The main problem is my computer cannot detect my Gio, it detects my brothers Galaxy gio with Kies and my dads Galaxy s, but not mine. I've tried switching debuging mode, nothing. So when I get to the part to flash with odin it says please connect phones and theres no notificaions about a usb plugged in, it just charges. Also I put it into download mode to flash and no detection by odin. So can someone please help out, it would be appreciated.

hi bro
it happen when your driver not installed
if u use win7 or 8 connect your device then windows automaticaly download your driver
or u could download driver "samsung android driver"
for odin cause this driver
I don't think installing the drivers is the problem. Because Kies automatically installs them and my brothers gio is detected by the computer.
Hmm have u tryed to connect ur phone in other USB ports so when the computer says 'installling device driver...' it will automatically install kies driver

If you plug your Gio in download mode, with Winz0z 7/8 driver will be installed. Driver for being detected by the PC in download mode is different from USB mode one because also baseband will be changed with Odin.
Also, Kies, unless you use stock, won't detect your phone. Sorry.

Can you attach phone as "USB mass storage" after connecting to USB? (through Notification area on top of mainscreen)
Hi, I recently flash a CWM recovery and sadly it is not booting, just blue screen. So I decided to restock my gio using ODIN. So I turn it off, Boot to download mode and connect it to the PC, and then it says "USB Device Not Recognized".
What I already did:
- Use different PCs
- Use different USB cables
- Try to boot to Emergency DLoad Mode, but sadly can't flashed through Odin
Help me guys, I love this phone, I won't let this phone die. :crying:

It has to be Window 7 or lower and you have install samsung kies or the usb drivers.
Hello i recently picked up a messed up Galaxy tab 3. It doesn't turn on at all but I can get into download mode. Only once in download mode my computer doesn't recognize it, I have Kies installed so from my understanding i should already have the drivers. Even if i get my computer to recognize it will having download mode only help me?

i can second that, galaxy tab 3 7.0 needs the cable that came with it, generic won't do, something with the pins in device.
as for kies after you install and run it first time with tab and proper cable then uninstall kies from your system but leave drivers.
alternately seach for samsung usb drivers only and install them instead of kies, then get odin going.
Hi, wondering if anyone can help me or advise. My sis has a s4 mini and she tried to do a software update but didn't check her battery level and switched off whilst updating.
Now it won't turn on and I can't get into recovery to put another rom on. I tried to put on recovery via odin but it won't let me, I think I needed to have USB debugging on which I can't do now.
I can access download mode and whilst odin recognises the phone it just hangs after pressing start. On the phone it says write protection on or something like that.
Is it possible to fix this phone or am I out of luck.
