Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 cannot start up

[Zoknika]

Hi There,

I have just tried to flash my Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 when something went wrong during the process. Now the phone cannot even boot, just the boot screen appears containing the brand logo and freezes. If I try to start it in recovery mode "recovery booting..." text is appears above the brand logo and nothing happens.

How I came here?
1. Firstly I would like to flash my phone with Ubuntu Touch using Flashify app downloaded from Play Store. After the app said the flashing was successful (?) I restart my phone which never boot it again.
2. In this point, both of Android Recovery g3 and Odin mode was available. I tried restore my phone from Android Recovery using my backup, but the recovery stopped with Invalid signature error. (Same error is appeared when I select CyanogenMod 11.0 ROM from recovery.)
3. Using Odin 3.10.7 I tried install CWM Recovery 6.0.4.6. Odin said the flashing was successfully but then, when I tried to boot into recovery mode, only "recovery booting..." text is appears above the brand logo.

Now only the Odin mode can be started.


Can anybody help me to galvanize life into my lovely phone?

Thanks,
zokni
