Hi Android Friends,
I need some help. My Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 is boot loop with SAMSUNG Logo.
My Galaxy Ace was running with Android 2.3.6 KQ8 but it was running slow, so I decided to upgrade it again with same Android Version Odin 4.38.
I was upgrading my phone to KQ8 2.3.6 using package, but don’t know what happened now my phone is not booting and even not going in Recovery mode. its keep rebooting on SAMSUNG logo.
While upgrading using Odin 4.38 when phone reboots, that time screen was blank till 15 min so I removed battery and re-insert it again but after that only it is creating issue..
Now the situation is..
– Phone is in boot loop.
– Can’t go into Recovery mode using HOME+POWER KEY.
– Can go in Downloading mode and it detects in Odin also but when I apply .ops file and Single file it is not going further and stuck on setup connection… I tried with multiple USB port and PC also.
Please help me and assist me to fix this issue. Is there any other way to have my phone back with good condition..??

Hey pradeep i did all the steps as u said however it is stuck on android screen for more than 30 mins. I removed the battery and tried again also wiped cache data and tried to install again but its still stuck there, kindly help ASAP
Pradeep Neela on September 6, 2012 at 11:50 pm
have you rooted your device?
—————————————–
I could not add another comment so i started a new one, sorry if this is not correct.
Yes i have, first thing i do after a full factory reset by installing the latest software as described in the procedure is the root.
I see that by installing your update, it takes a few seconds but also see the message cannot mount E etc
I then restart the phone as it says completed and just hangs on ANDROID.
I need to remove battery and no matter how long i wait, it will not go in to the phone, so i then proceed to do a factory reset with the Odin etc etc.
It seems that the problem is mounting although i can read the card since i am installing the update from there.
Any suggestions are welcome or if not, no problem, i will wait for something else
?

hi
must say this rom is great but 2 minor problems
1. battery life is terrible
2. cant use mp3 ringtones only stock ics ones
please do something about these otherwise fantastic rom
just unmount and mount back the sd card
How do we mount and unmount a card while in recovery mode?
I believe that most of the problems are because of this
Thanks for any reply!
you can unmount via the recovery method
Thanks but to be honest this is not very helpful am afraid
Any link to this procedure but i am sure that there is something wrong with this update.
I give up, no reason to continue this but thanks for the update.
have you rooted your device?
Yes i have rooted the device and explained everything a few weeks ago in a new post that is still awaiting moderation!!!

thanks for your feedback, let us know for any assistance
Yeah I felt the same.
I used to get error (“You have no calendars”) when I try to add any event in my calendar. Then I followed this link http://blog.stefan-macke.com/2011/12/10/how-to-add-a-local-calendar-to-the-android-2-2-froyo-emulator/.
Then i was able to add events to it. But was not able to sync my local calendar with the Google one. Settings=>Account & Sync does not show Google calendar. Not sure if anyone has any clue.
Can i use Thinkfree Office in this Rom? As in will i hav to re-install it or not?
yes nitesh you can very well install the Thinkfree app

I updated my device with this firmware. This update is awesome. Only problem I faced is when I first updated, by rooting my phone got hanged. Then I did cyanogen mod root and then tried it again. If anyone feels camera problem just wipe data in recovery mode.
thank you very much sheelkumar for your tip.

Thanks for the reply!

I will give it a last go and hope all goes well, if not, then i give up
this doesn’t work. it still hangs on android after data wiped, cache cleared and update re applied
Any update ?????
as of now this is the latest update
All good and fast too.
But noticed 2 things my mobile name(Showing S3) and android version got changed.
Version is showing 4.0.4(ICS) but I doubt. AFAIK 7+ versions are based on Gingerbread right ?
Has anyone noticed the same?
yes darshan, there are few things which hopefully should get addressed in the coming versions
However I feel that my battery drains faster after installing this custom ROM(and also with CM7.2 stable build). It used to work better in Samsung build.
Not sure if that’s the case only with me.
This firmware is Superb. Everything works fine. It offers backuo and restore option. Thank you Neela for this guide. Please give advices for the firmware which works with ‘no ifs and buts’. Once again THANKS

You will have to adjust the settings. There are two settings 1) system settings and 2) launch settings. Ofcourse it takes little time to understand and time. Just press the press button and press the left button .There comes the popup menu. Go ahead and succeed.
