I think I bricked my phone

[aquaviva]

I can't anymore get in download mode. I modified in UART mode debug the USB connection and I also tried to use odin to reflash the phone. At this time the display is black. Windows is detecting the samsung drivers and ODIN looks connected to the phone but if I try to reflash it ,

Download Start...

Have you try this tips. 


If your phone doesn’t boot into download mode and you have a black screen after flashing froyo heres how you unbrick it


 Step 1 – Prepare odin with the firmware u want to flash  and get it ready to go;

 Step 2 – Remove battery, SIM and SD card, next connect your galaxy ace to the computer;

 Step 3 – Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time;

 Step 4 – Insert the battery and wait a bit;

 Step 5 – At this point Odin should have detected your SG Ace ( Yellow rectangle should appear);

 Step 6 – Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.

 If all goes well it should come back to life.

btw:my previous rom was gingerbread 2.3.4, i rooted it, had minfree, set cpu (just wondering if this things has anything to do to my OBVIOUSLY bricked phone 

[coolsandie]

No, I don't think bricking does have any relations with rooting, set cpu etc.. But I guess it could go unstable
if higher frequency is opted via SetCPU. Optimal frequency is below 800Mhz.
