broken recovery - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello guys, i need a help. somedays ago i flashed slimrom by polishvodka to my phone and my borther's. it's working without any annoying bugs until yesterday my lil bros ask me to update his phone to kitkat. so i download new maclaw's latest rom.
here is the problem, i turn off the phone and took the sdcard to copy the new rom from my pc. but when i entering recovery mode ( Home+power+volume Up ) i got nothing but blackscreen. i though that was rom problem so i reflash stock JB MG2. the rom boot up succesfully but recovery still same. i try to dowgrade to GB russian with pit and repartition and it's work. i can enter recovery mode. but if i flash any jb firmware ( MH1, MF1/2, MG2 ) i cant enter recovery, just blackscreen. my local fellow's suggest me to flash D-Kernel as it has built in CWM using universal kernel flasher. but this app request root. how can i root this phone if i cant enter recovery mode? please i need solution.

anyone?

Yup, try to flash D-Kernel via Terminal.

but this just workaround eh? when i instal liquidsmooth or stock jb again my recovery completly blank again :crying: . i have to reflash D-kernel again to get cwm back. can we just full erase /cache or recovery or whatever it's name so we could got back stock jb recovery or cwm built in on custom rom? i need it to make nandroid backup.

Recovery (on the Ace 2) is integrated in the kernel.
And it's certainly surprising that on a freshly reflased device stock recovery doesn't work...
I'd personally try repartitioning with a 3-part firmware...

i thought so, and i've already flashing with Russian GB and JB MB4. both have pit and repartitioning but no luck. the flashing completely done, odin show succesfull and the rom boot up without problem but when entering recovery mode, still blank screen. i've downloade 2 GB firmware and 4 JB stock. mixing them and repeated downgrading/upgrading but still, stock recovery never show up . only str3tch72 post help me get cwm back. but after installing new rom/firmware, the blank recovery came back again

It is possible that you broke some partitions on your phone.. Can yoh get any logcat when you are on that blank recovery screen ?

1. Can you mount /data (during backup)
2. Can you boot into it using vol+ + home + power
If not then Galaxy 5's port works too..

Cwm7???
I am running cwm4 (I have galaxy fit)...and up till now only cwm5 and cwm4 is available for my device!!!
Maybe you are talking about cm7 (cyanogenmod7)...that is a rom, cwm is a recovery...
Even my device doesn't have official cm on it (there are only unofficial ones)...
So you will have to be patient
2.3.7 was for nexus.
i have a better solution... there's a .zip from the skin1980 thread. each time you need clockwork, just go in recovery mode and apply the zip, it will boot the CWM

[HELP] Phone bricked

Hello dear users of xda. I have a serious problem. My phone is bricked after installing Chainfire 3d driver on jellybean ( i forgot it will not work on JB)
So then i wanted to reflash the Jb MC8 but odin does'nt detect my phone ;(. Tried on 3 pc's tried reinstalling drivers, tried Heimdall still the same.
Recovery mode works, but i dont have a backup. (BTW i have stock recovery of JB MC8) Tried my friend's cable (she has ace 2 too) did'nt work. My flash counter is 2 so i am afraid i might even have to buy a new phone. Can anyone help???

Flash via odin you can don't tick usb debugging, if odin cannot see your device you must reinstall samsung usb driver

Beanstalk?

Hi new member here and a noob, since i can't post on the beanstalk thread i decided to make a thread. I would like to know how to install Beanstalk on my device. I already unlocked my Xperia Arc and wanted to have a JB 4.3 on my device and Beanstalk is the first one i found.
I would also like to know if Beanstalk is a good choice or are there any other ROM's that you can recommend.
help will be greatly appreciated.
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097137

From the Beanstalk thread..
Wipe Caches + Data / Factory Reset

I also have wifi problam with the lastest beanstalk.

I tried TWRP but the ROM didnt load...
got stuck on bootloop I think (red led on)
any idea why or how to fix that ?

What recovery and verision of it are you using? for 4.3+ roms you need CWM 6.0.3.7+ or TWRP 2.6.1.0
I´m also having this problem. I can't flash any ROM. I went back to stock and tried again with those versions of recovery but nothing.
