im afraid i have bricked my SG ACE!!

i tried to flash firmware KPN via Odin. firmware was downloaded from samfirmware.com

Everything seems goes well initially, finish all the downloading stage, but then after reboot, NO HOME SCREEN!! lockscreen working, but when i slide to unlock, force close massage appeared..

so, i guess the first flashed was screwed.. so i shut off the phone, re-enter download mode, then start the flashing process again. but at the end, also same, force closed and cant see home screen.

so, i decided to revert back to our region latest firmware, the KC1. re-enter download mode and reflash.. IT BECOME WORST! at the end of the flashing process, Odin says "wait untill rebooting" but the phone did not reboot, but the screen just turn black!! .. tried to removed battery, but the phone just remain black.. when i plug in to PC, Odin still can detect it tho.. what should i do??

please advice me.

Hi thanks for reply..

I hv been searching and tried various methods, includes the above, none worked.

But i found a work around for the above method.

The problem before was, eventho odin still detect my device, but its not in downloading mode, just the black screen, thus, if i click start,odin will try to connect to the phone but it will just stuck there, coz there is no way odin can connect if the phone itself is not accepting the connection.

Step 3 and 4 in the above method is confusing/tricky. From my understanding from the first time i read it >> after i removed battery, i push all the 3 buttons simultanuesly, then i take and insert the battery. But its not working, it will be back to theblack screen.

Instead, the correct way it should be done is (maybe this is what the writer means to say):

After batt removed, hold down all the 3 buttons simultaneusly, DUN LET THEM GO, KEEP HOLDING, THEN IN ANY MEANS OR WITH THE HELP OF YR FREN, INSERT THE BATTERY (WHILE YR FINGERS STILL HOLDING DOWN THE BUTTONS), then magically u r back to the downloading mode.

I mean, i need both hands to hold down all the 3 buttons, thus to insert thebattery at the same time isvery tricky. but i done it, the i flash back to KPN, now my phone back to live.



Now rooted and ready to rock.

anyone tried fla.sh ROM? any bug encountered? in to choose in between coderom or fla.sh..

on KPN.. flashed fla.sh dy.. will post some comment if any..

normal transfer is ok??

ermm i bet yr phone is in turned on?

for Odin to detect it, the phone must be in Donwnloading mode..

pls refer to first page of this thread

well, just turn off yr phone, the press vol down + home + power buttons simultaneously for a few seconds, until u see yellow "Downloading" word appear on yr black screen. then start Odin, then plug in the phone to yr PC

Cant see anybody selling in garage sale section

OMG.. dont they even know what RRP (recommended retail price) mean? better put RIP. i hate seller who wants to dig money from buyer.. they should sell at max price equal to RRP, or lower than that
