If your phone shows signs of life even after it is bricked, it is never too late to unbrick and bring your phone back to life. So dont panic and be calm.
If your phone is not an Ace but any other Samsung Anrdoid Device you can follow the same method but make sure you download the corresponding stock rom for your device.You can google it to find the ROM for your device.
Step 1: You need Odin v4.38 flasher for flashing your bricked phone. Also download these usb drivers in case Odin doesn't detect your mobile and install them (Recommended to install by default)
Step 2 : Download the firmware required for flashing. The latest 2.3.4 gingerbread rom for ace can be downloaded here. Gingerbread 2.3.4. Password is sampro.pl .
You may have to download the required rom according to the region you live in the world.
Step 3: Now unzipping the file you will be getting a md5 file with a big file name referring to the firmware version etc. You will be using this file for flashing.
Step 4: You also need an ops file for the flashing process. Cooper.ops
Step 5: Open Odin flashtool.
Step 6: If you have downloaded the firmware as separate packages then follow the below steps:
Note: The above given link is for one package flashing so those who used the above firmware can ignore these set of steps.
Multifile Method:
1)Select from extracted archive: OPS-OPS, Boot-APBOOT, Phone-MODEM, PDA-CODE, CSC-CSC (leave EFS and One Package empty)
2)Connect your phone via USB into PC
3)When the screen is turned on hold POWER+VOLUME DOWN+HOME and wait until the phone enters the Download Mode
4) If ODIN detects and recognises your phone, it should light up the first square to the left side
5) Press "Start" button and wait, the process should take ~5 minutes
6)If all goes well your phone should reboot automatically
7)Square should change the color to blue and display "PASS" it means that flashing process was successful and we have the newest firmware
8)Disconnect your phone
9)Turn off your phone
10)Insert your SIM Card and SD Card again
11)Turn on your phone
12) Now you have brought your phone back to life.
Step 7: One package:
For this all you have to do is click ops and select the ops file and tick the one package checkbox and click one package button and select the md5 file with the long file name and follow from step 2 of the Multifile method.
In case there is a bootloop.Turn the phone off and press and hold the menu and power button down. Wait until you get the recovery menu. Use volume key up and down to navigate options and press menu button to select options. Wipe factory data and Wipe cache. Then select Reboot.
The phone will reboot normally.
For those who have problem with flashing as ODIN DOESN'T DETECT YOUR DEVICE INSTALL THE USB DRIVERS IN THE FIRST POST AND THEN TRY THE PROCESS.

while using with odin is is showing as setup connection ......
thats it ....what was the problem & ho can i unbrick my gala ace ....plz refer me any links????
are you sure you followed the above steps correctly??? you should connect the mobile to the pc via usb and then press and hold POWER+VOLUME DOWN+HOME and wait until the phone enters the Download Mode. Only then ODIN will detect your phone try again and tell me if the problem still persists.
thanks a lot bro........u just saved me and my phone.....thanx a lot for ur help......i'm indeed grateful to u.......ur instructions were really gud....and structured....thanx again.......
my phone is not going to the download mode. what to do? i pressed vol up+power+home then it detected the phone in the odin but nothing worked.
Swaroop M Koushik : Please make sure you selected the right packages in odin in order to flash... Hold on to the buttons still the flashing process starts... If the problem still persists let me know....
Alright i need help urgently..i tried to root a samsung galaxy ace (oman) runnin on 2.2.1 and i did it with super one click but then i tried installing clockwork mod recovery.. i went into recovery mode to install zip from sd card but there was no such option..there was an option called apply sd:update.zip and wipe cache partition so i searched on xda forums and found that to install this we need to rename the recovery clockwork zip to update.zip and den install..now the phone is not booting into recovery mode..
it did boot into normal rooted firmware and i saw the clockwork mod app den i went to that app and clicked reboot into recovery\
den its not booting into recovery nor normal firmware..
then i got some official firmwares thru download mode and tried flashing them wid odin but all fails…
now normal boot shows pc connected to phone with exclamation mark in between..
plz help i just want to get this thing working..
Koushik: Dont panic. Just flash the latest samsung official firmware using odin. Thats the best way to solve all your problems. From what you said i couldnt make out whether your device is booting or not. Please explain me clearly. For better support try posting on my facebook page.so I can talk with you directly to give you a better help. Dont panic. Your phone can be saved. I have bricked mine loads of times.
I follow all the same step but after i press the 3 buton, its only the downloading words come out...help pls...
phone:Samsung Galaxy ACE
U shud be getting the download mode of course. u must hav it connected to the pc and keep odin running only then press the three buttons in order for the pc to detect ur phone. make sure u read the steps once again. if u dnt stil understand tell me
It's saying 'cannot open the usb serial port' what does that mean?
Make sure your usb port is working. try the ones at the front. if they dont work then those in the back. if all fails then there might be a problem with your usb wire. also check if you have necesarry phone and usb drivers installed.
where can i get this OPS-OPS, Boot-APBOOT, Phone-MODEM, PDA-CODE, CSC-CSC
you wont need those files for one package flashing. download one package stock rom given in the post link and follow the STEP 7 given in the post.

That is not Normal. The whole flashing process wud take some 5 minutes .nothing more. check whether u hav drivers installed properly. Post further questions if u hav any.
when i connect my fone with usb and put it in downloading mode, odin doesnt detect my galaxy ace
pls help
Make sure u held the buttons long enuf for odin to detect. if still problem persists make sure u hav the right drivers installed.
Soory, it sounds like a stupid question, but what is a drive or drivers and where to download if required
Akeeb : Driver is a middle man between coding and the driver manager in the system. It helps hardware respond to software calls. In this case you need it for the mobile components to be accessed via pc. If you have samsung kies installed you wil most probably have the necessary samsung drivers needed for the mobile :)
hi can you please teach me how to get firmware 2.3.6 for samsung galaxy ace? thank you :)
Its pretty simple. Just follow the same steps i have given here , instead of the file I have mentioned here download a 2.3.6 firmware file and update the mobile system :) Thanks
mine gets stuck at QCSBL. it doesn't go any further no matter how long i let it run. Any ideas.
Well u have damaged ur bootloader I suppose... If u hav an ACE try downloading the firmware mentioned in the links and then open it using 7zip and and extract the file ARM11boot and flash that alone in odin by selecting boot tab. manually select the image file. I am not sure if it wud work. If this still doesnt work then u hav to go the sevice centre.
i have done all you said but it says fail when i press start :( what should i do ?
Hmmmm i suppose ur mobile aint in the downloading mode while starting the process or the necessary drivers arent present
Thanks a lot, you saved my day...=)
thanks a million...you've saved me from spending so much on repairs...my phone is alive again..God bless you
Thanks Akhilesh.. U really saved my life... I was trying the same thing but from some other site , was using the package they had given to use in odin. And it was continuously failing. I had almost given up and then saw ur blog. Thought let me try again from the scratch and using the files u said . Finally it worked.. My samsung ace is back from coffin... Thanks a lot buddy
Thanks buddy your tutorial is really helpful.
