this is what u get for not reading posts before doing somehing as dangerous as using rom manager anyway send it to service center tell them Kies crashed while updating XD

Haha...great excuse

On almost every thread it says that dont use rom manager. After reading so many bad experiences i get chills when rooting new rom and there is rom manager installed. Never tried to mess with it...always first install titanium backup (or simillar app) and uninstall rom manager forever

just for other people, DON'T USE ROM MANAGER to our Ace, because too many issues that it will brick our device, so be careful, and from other forum, also don't use Font Changer coz that can brick too

Oh, this morning i had use it to change font, but it work normal

Gf your Ace. The only function that doesn't brick ace is reboot into recovery. (and even that id just do manually)

OKay I bricked it :S

After 4 hours of reading and finally taking the steps I bricked my ACE sadly following these instructions...

Now you have Gingerbread. You want a backup. Search for chinoray and clockwordmodace.zip. This'll give you the backup program (a.k.a Clockworkmod Recovery) so you can do a recovery no matter what. (Press home and power to boot into recovery mode. there's an option to install from a zip. Install chinoray's file)

What I did was seeking for the software 'clockwordmodace' in the Marketplace, caus i did not find it elsewhere. Then, after installing it, I said Backup current ROM and it whent dead in my hands and never woke up. Even after pressing the home-power-volume up combination. Noob me..

So I guess I will bring it back to the store....or does anybody else have a suggestion.

Thanks ross231. Appreciate your reaction.

The ACE is back to Samsung for inspection...lets see what they say.

I told the store that the connection between my PC and the ACE was bad at the time I did an upgrade. They found that a plausible.

Hopefully they (Samsung) will send me another ACE because its not powering at all and this one is not even a month old.

You DID NOT really follow its instructions, looks like ur bad mouthing the thread xD
Anyways just to avoid future problems like these, if it says .zip it's probably not gonna be on the market since all the apps are apk files.
The zip file is suppose to be flashed via recovery-mode. When I was using froyo you werent able to chose and select which zip-file to update from, so I rename the clockworkmodace.zip to update.zip and chose the updater (in recovery mode). That's one way to get CWM properly.

edit: oh and you can download CWM via that thread, it links you to this thread:

I hard bricked my phone last week and went to service center with upgrade failiure from kies reason, they accepted and changed the pb(mother board). Now it came back to life.

ROM Manager sucks. I did the current rom backup and the it bricked.

The same happend to me and i send it to samsung service and now it working and running cm7

P.S. when you bring it to samsung service do not say it is rooted then you lose your warranty .

this is a pain

The instructions on the cyanogenmod wiki for the galaxy ace suggest using ROM Manager so I assumed it was fine. It just goes to show you shouldn't trust wikis!

Any advice on getting this fixed if outside of warranty? In theory could I send it to Samsung?

memity · May 16, 2012

Fixed - In case anyone reading this has the same problem

So I downloaded the right version of Odin for the Ace (4.38) and had better success, but whatever version of the firmware I loaded didn't work...

I then tried to flash the cwm as described in the post I can't link to, but titled 'Clock Work Mod Recovery v5.0.2.6 Flashable via Odin'. With the new recovery mode, I was able to install the firmware I'd downloaded to my SD card (cyanogenmod) which worked.

Good luck to anyone else who's having the same problem!

Have you taken a look at this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1071970

I am considering clockworkmod but put off by the 'bricking' situation. I see there are a couple of versions - V4 and V5

I take it downloading the .zip file and running from the Galaxy's default recovery mode is failsafe rather than from the Play market?

Thanks
